Four happy years have passed swiftly by, And we are sad as we say, Good-bye To our teachers, who were so patient and kind, Giving their best to train our minds. We try in futile words to express our thanks sincere, Always we'll hold their memory dear. So with success crowning our early aim, We have what we hoped to gain. Lifeis mighty threshold now beckons us to new fields Where our minds and hands we pledge to worthy yields, Trusting the influence which led us through past hopes and fears To guide us through long and happy future years. -By Fred Owen, Clair Poet 7

burial Qlustums of 1789 IF A YOUNG man wished to court a young lady he had first to obtain permission from the head of the family. lt was within the bounds of propriety for a young man to take his sweetheart for a ride or to accompany her on a walk. They might be seen together at church or the races, although it was customary for a young lady to accompany the family to a ball rather than to be escorted by her lover. The methods for winning the approval of the opposite sex were the same then as at present. Coquetry and dress were the woman's stock in trade, but she also added other accomplishments of singing and playing musical instruments. The flapper was formerly known as a belle, and beau was the ante-bellum term for what is known today as a Nsmoothief' Subscription balls were very popular. Usually several managers were appointed for the season and would make all arrangements, such as fixing the dates of the balls, obtaining a ballroom, and providing the music and refresh- ments. They fixed the subscription price, usually at five dollars, and determined the eligibility of an applicant. These managers also assigned dance partners, conducted the introduction of strangers, and extended invitations to visitors. Dancing was indeed the favorite form of amusement at any social gathering. The private balls were usually very formal. The ballrooms were spacious and handsomely furnished. A range of sofas was placed around the room, and from the centre of the ceiling a large chandelier was suspended from which a flood of candlelight was thrown over the company. Dancing masters often traveled about teaching the newest steps. The minuet and Parsby's Regadoon were very popular, but the cotillion was the most favored. Debating clubs and literary societies were also popular during this period as well as musical and theatrical societies. The Thalian Association was one of the chief centers of social life in North Carolina during the Colonial period. -Betty London Wooten Zia-V7 gt. 44,23 2 X 6
