FIIBEWURD THE STAEF of this yearbook has spent many long hours in attempting to catch the atmosphere of Durham High School and to transform it into a valuable memento of the days dear to every seniorls heart. The photographs, snapshots, and copy provide an abundance of familiar scenes characteristic of our school life in its numerous activities. The art theme, Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony, furnishes an at- tractive thread by Which these scenes of school life are held together. The story of this colony, of which so little of authentic historical data may be found, was reenacted in its original setting last year. Scenes from this great pageant, Written by North Carolinals famous playwright, Paul Green, supplied the art staff with ideas and suggestions for the art motif of this book. If, in years to come, the MESSENGER of 1939 fulfills the eager desire of the editors-to help the readers live again these happy days-this work will not have been spent in vain. PAGE 6
