The F acult There are forty-five members of the Durham High School faculty, under whose direction and guidance eleven hundred pupils have studied this year. The administrative unit consists of a principal, two deans and thirteen heads of the various departments: English, History and Social Science, Mathematics, Languages, Commerce, Science, Home Economics, Physical Education, Music, Art, lndustrial Arts, Library Science and Cooperative Vllork. In addition to teaching schedules, averaging thirty periods a week, Durham High School teachers are advisers of numerous extracurricular activities that are scheduled to meet periodically: some, once a week, others, twice a month. They are also enthusiastic participants in the class picnics and socials that occur on the schedule of the year's calendar. The teachers are also affiliated with such organizations of professional interest as the Parent-Teacher Association, Durham Teachers Association, Class Room Teachers Association, North Carolina Education Association, National Education Association, and The National Council of Teachers of English. On April 22-24. Durham teachers were hosts of the State Teach- ers Convention. Members of D. H. S. faculty took active parts cn pro- grams and in helping in the presentation of the Centennial Pageant held at Duke University Stadium, Friday evening, April 23. ln community activities many teachers are found singing in church ch girs, teaching Sunday School classes, actively engaged in club work, rec- reation projects, and in every constructive community enterprise. During the year three new teachers, Miss Lucile VVelborn, Mr. G. Wlayne Scott and Mr. C. K. Baucom, were employed to H11 vacancies that resulted from the resignations of lNflrs. C. Holloway and Mr. A. K. Don- nelly of the Commercial Department, and Mrs. Eleanor Adams of the French Department. Mr. B. L. deBruyne, head of the Mathematics Department, was absent the second semester cn account of a long serious illness. ln February, Mr. L. A. Bruton was appointed to fill this temporary vacancy. Now that the school year is over these faithful men and women of the D. H. S. faculty will scatter in all directions-some will travel abroad even-to study, rest, or work during the summer. more 1 9

Prineipa1's Message From the days of the Sargon to our own, recurring cultural eras have had a tendency to look fondly backward to the good old days . Even so do we justly surround with a de- gree of glamor the days of our Old North State when Patrick Henry of Virginia wooed and won the lover of cavalier VVillie Jones of Edenton, when Dolly Nladison was not yet the belle of the VVhite House, and when young Nathaniel Macon had not dreamed of a career in Congress. Nor is all the glory glamor. Have we not, in the century and more that has elapsed since the days which constitute the theme of our 1937 Annual, lost many things that our genera- tion may proiitably revive: the habit of introspection, the con- sequent saneness of philosophy, the neighborliness, the self- reliance, the sense of social responsibility,-noblesse oblige, if you please-the ideal of civic responsibility, the social graces of the late colonial era? Is it not probable that proud English memories on the one hand and Indian menace on the other, contributed to the flowering of a culture that produced a jef- ferson, a Paul jones, a Nathaniel lVlaconP If this be true, have we not more glorious memories and just as challenging a frontier to spur us on to noble achievement? Because our frontier is social rather than geographic, need it be the less a stimulus? Our era is one of intense action, yet we will do well to re- member that all activity is not necessarily advancement, nor all motion, progress. Let us pause and dream for a while of the age you honor. Perhaps so shall we catch a sane and helpful grasp of the problems of our frontier: vocational guidance, industrial peace, social justice, equality of opportunity, in- dividual development, honest government honestly shared as to privileges and responsibilities, a greater happiness for all mankind, and peace for all nations.
