E Volume Three Nineteen Twenty-Two E E f?5 l5lEE'Z'u L 4 311053 We present this annual, the third issue of rl-he SPINNER, to the patrons and friends of our school, with the hope that from it they may get a true conception of the worlx done in our school during the past year. We have tried to make this a true history of our school life for the year IQQI-22. in many respects, this has been the most successful year in the history of Gas- tonia High School, and We haye tried to malfe this the hest annual yet issued one of our Senior classes. jlln this we have not tried to display our literary ability, as can he easily seen, lout only to present concrete facts. Of course we have made mistakes, lout We have done our lbest, and have no excuses to offer. OUR SUPERINTENDENT 1 0 ILLIAM PRESSLEY GRIER was born in Crab Orchard Tovxn -1 ' f . , - ship, Mecklenburg County, N. C., February 28, 1885. His early life was spent on his father's farm. In the Mecklenburg county schools, and later at Bain Academy, his preparation for college was obtained. In the fall of 1905, he entered the University of North Carolina, Where he early became actively interested in various phases of college life. Besides being a student, he was a leader in athletic activities, was active in Y. M. C. A. work, was a member of the Yackety-Yaiclc staff, and was one of the two debaters chosen to represent the University in a Georgia-Carolina debate. It was chiefly as a speaker that he Won for himself a name at the University. He graduated in 1909, with an A. B. degree. After serving two years as Head Master at Christ's School, Arden, N. C., Mr. Grier was elected Principal of the Gastonia Schools, and began his work here in the fall of 1911. In December of the same year, he mar- ried Miss Virginia Lucile Cross, also of Mecklenburg County. As Prin- cipal, Mr. Grier identified himself with the educational forces of the State, in State and National Teachers' Assemblies, and further fitted himself for his profession in summer schools at the University of North Carolina and at Columbia University. Throughout his ten years of service as Principal, he manifested such qualities of leadership and tact as won for him the affectionate esteem of both pupils and patrons. He has been not only an untiring Worker for the school system, but also an invaluable asset to the church and to the civic life of the communityg and in recognition of his worth as a school man Mr. Grier was, last June, elected Superintendent of the Gastonia City Schools. Under his leadership the schools are completing a year of most satis- factory Work.

' M, I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY NCE upon a time, Old King Experience, ruler of the Kingdom of Life, observed that his palace was getting in an awful condition. He needed more workers, but above all he needed trained workers. So when he had consulted with his Court Counsellors for many f-ll days, he decided to get some children from the City of Beautiful Children, and train them for his work. Now this city was famous all over the world for its truly beautiful chil- dren. Not only were they the fairest to look upon, but they were the most accomplished, the best behaved, the healthiest, and altogether the most attractive children in the world. Mothers everywhere held them up as models to their own naughty offspring, and people came from various parts of the world to view them. So this dear old king issued a proclamation, and had it sent to the famous city. He asked for their best children, and said that he would give them truly wonderful training. But the people of the city were so very fond of their children that they were not willing to give them up even to their beloved king. So all the mothers and fathers met one day to discuss the matter, and decided that they would give to the king the least attractive ones. On the appointed day, these children assembled, and began their training, but when they were through the king was disappointed. Again he sent a proclamation to the city, and again the people met together. But still they could not persuade themselves to give up their best children, and so they sent him some of the less attractive ones, and told him that they were giving him some very wonderful workers. No doubt this was so, but not in the sense that the king took it. He gave them unusual training, but when the time for trial came, they failed. S Old King Experience was heart-broken. His palace was getting shab- bier every day, and his whole kingdom was going to ruin. Finally a rumor came to him that there were still some children in this noted city, and almost without hope he went in person and begged that if they had any more children there, that they would please let him try once more to save his palace. The people were truly touched this time, and promised the king that he should have the best that they could give him. On the day appointed, the worried king met the children at the House of Learning, and received the shock of his life. There before him were a group of children-bright, happy, strong, and beautiful. They were indeed the most attractive bunch he had ever seen, and he felt sure that this time he would be satisfied. ,,f Ip1.,,, F C lZH:f. .,. V .....-.-..,.LL...,J L, f The best of everything was bestowed upon these happy creatures, and they showed themselves worthy of each kindness. However, their fourth year was spent under a great handicap, for their beautiful building was burned, and the king had not yet erected a new one. But soon he put uv, a most Wonderful structure, and again they started work in earnest. Three years later they had a celebration, and invited the whole city to see what truly wonderful children they were. On that night they were sent up to another division, and very proud they were, to be sure. But their numbers had now dwindled, for some had dropped by the wayside. However, their actual worth and fame had not left them, but instead was steadily increasing. New tasks were given them, harder things were required, but still they struggled onward. For four years more they labored thus, and in the last year they were treated royally by their friends. But through all their trials and joys they had kept one thing only in their hearts-the day when they would leave their friends and go on to the service of the king. Their chief desire had been to be worthy of their king and of their city, and their most frequent thoughts had been of their future work. So tonight, my friends, our dreams have come true, our wishes have been granted, and soon we shall go to help Old King Experience in his palace called Life, - Q, iff' ',h X J- ,-- x 4, ., ' N NVQ, g, ' ,- . ., Q.

L . . 'al sc' But it took a prophet much gre 1te1 than I Each member s fate to prophesy I wondered each day what I should write But when one thought came, the others tool flight Till a desperate wreck, I wandered one day To the land of Dreams, where the fairies stay Into my d1'eams a fairy crept, And whispered to me while I slept Just exactly what would come to pass To every member of the Senior Class. Now, you know that fairies always tell The past and the future exceedingly well So rest assured that this rhyme is true, For the fairy's vision Iim giving to you. Here's the Home Economics Department, With Blanche Pugh as supervisor And every student will have to admit That each day she becomes much wiser. An anxious crowd sits in the cou1't Waiting the verdict of the jury, And then the sentence by the judge, The Honorable Leonard liury. Of the preacher member of our Class We all are justly proud, For Frank Jordan, in a long-tailed coat, Will always draw a crowd. Here's the new tubercular hospital, Of exquisite beauty and wealth, And with a skilled hand, Etta Shannon, Is nursing patients back to good health. And now the head surgeon comes around, With a kind word for everyone, Gastonia is proud of the value she found In R. B. Babington. Since George Ragan loved so well Our glorious old G. H. S., As superintendent he loves her yet, And has made her a great success.

This writer's books have just come out, And their praises are fast extolled, For the works of Rachel Henderlite Are worth their weight in gold. I see a great stone mansion, Automobiles, and servants in livery blue. 'Tis the home of the banker, Ben Ratchford, Of the Class of 'Twenty-Two. Here's our athlete, Sam Garmise, The world repeats his name, And to his training at G. H. S. He gives the credit for his fame. My eyes to Raleigh now are turned, Where Wombra McCombs, a fair young maid, Who to all eyes may be discerned Wielding the power of her governess' trade. Hail, our most beautiful Annie Blair, Our society butterfly, Whose winning smiles and golden hair Charm those who pass her by. Physics experiments Work many wonders- Too many, I greatly fear- For who dreamed that Willis Johnson Would have been an engineer? Candace Gamble is teaching in a district school And an excellent teacher she makes, Her pupils study, and make a success Of all that she undertakes. We know now why C. K. Marshall Studied hard to learn to debate, For he needs it now, in his lawyer's career, To determine his clients' fate. A ballroom now I clearly see And a familiar face above them ally The most beautiful of all the maids is she- Dora Schneider, the 'tbelle of the ball. Will Spencer is seated at his desk, Our city has a new manager, A successful business man. . And She IS bound to SUCCQQCU When no other firm can stand the test, For Carl Underwood was 9l9Ct9fl, We're sure that Will's can. And we're sure to get what we need Ah, an English teacher of Evelyn Boyd! Great honor to herself she has brought, For she displays the beauty of the mother tongue In her every deed and thought. TROPHIES R. B.-To R. B. Babington, we give this box of baking powder, hoping that it will make him rise a little higher. VIOLET-Here is a beau for Violet Chester, something she has long been desiring. .ANNIE BLAIR-As Annie Blair Anders deceived the Class, in that we voted her the most beautiful, we give her this box of make-up, fearing that her supply must be exhausted. This consists of a box of face powder, lip stick, a box of rouge, a jar of vanishing cream, eyebrow pencil, and a bottle of blondine. Use it, and keep up your deception. RACHEL-Since Rachel Henderlite is so dull in Latin, we give her this pony, to help her through college. CANDACE-The Class has been thoroughly convinced that Candace Gamble has not yet learned the art of make-up. We think itl is time for her to begin, so we give her this box of rouge to start her off. CARL-As Carl Underwood constantly talks to Annie Blair, we give him this megaphone, so that he may not strain his voice. FRANK J.-This derby we give to Frank Jordan, to wear when he be- comes a preacher-for his dignified bearing indicates this profession. NELL-To Nell Dixon, we give this jazz record, that she may accelerate the speed of her already nimble feet. With a little heart stimulant, Nell should then be able to meet appointments on time. WILLIS-Here is a train for Willis Johnson, for the fates have decreed that he is to be an engineer. WOMBRA-It has been predicted that Wombra McCombs will some day be Governor of North Carolina. Unless some unforeseen power comes to her rescue, she will not be a much greater success than some men who have held offices. As a starter, we present this copy of the Constitution. WILL AND RALPH-To Will Spencer and Ralph Falls we give a copy of Instructions in Letter Writing. In this you will find models for all types of letters. I wish to call your attention especially to the chapter on love letters. FRANK M.-Since Frank McLaughen has made himself famous in the role of policeman, we can think of nothing more fitting for him than this Billy. C. K.-And to add to C. K. Marshall's dignity we present to him this handsome beaver and this gold-headed cane. To make sure the hat is the correct size, we want him to try it on. ETHEL-Despite the fact that fate has decreed that Ethel Kendrick is to be a housekeeper, we believe that she will be a trained nurse. We know this cap will prove useful to her in this occupation. DORA-For fear that Dora Schneider will some time become separated from Wombra, we give her this little bottle of glue. ' CARRIE MCLEAN-To Carrie McLean Taylor we give this pocket diction- ary, which we hope will prove useful during her campaign speeches. LEONARD-VV6 present to Leonard Eury this ball, for we know it will come in handy when he becomes an athlete. SAM-Since Sam Garmise's ambition is to make and save money, we give him this bank, in which he may be able to keep secure his hoarded wealth. EVELYN-IH Evelyn Boyd's career as newspaper reporter, she will need some means of rapid transit. This donkey will solve her problem. GEORGE-For George Ragan, we have these artificial flowers, which he may present to his various girls. May they win for him the favor of these fair damsels. BEN-Since Ben Ratchford desires to be a millionaire, we give him this bulletin, issued by the government, on How a Farmer May Become a Millionaire in Three Years. When you have demonstrated this, Ben, we'll all be out to see you. MISS F. MITCHELL-'AHGW to Overcome Timidity is the title of the book we give to Miss Fannie Mitchell. MISS JOHNSTONQTO Miss Johnston, we present a reply to the letters she sent the parents of the Domestic Science Class. MISS REID-W6 present Miss Reid with this little French book. It contains many helpful suggestions on how to pronounce French. MISS M. MITCHELL-All the articles we have been able to glean from the newspapers and magazines, on Home Making, we give to Miss Mary Mitchell. In this list are cake recipes, articles about baking bread, about desserts, and several on sewing and embroidery. MRS. DOLLEY-For fear Mrs. Dolley's powder puff is worn out, we pre- sent her with this new one. MISS GLENN-TO Miss Glenn, We present this book, entitled Rapid Proof- readingf' We hope it will shorten the hours of extra service required of her. MISS WHITENER-This bottle of anti-fat We give to Miss Whitener, in order that she may get rid of some of her excessive flesh. MISS ALDERMAN-Everyone knows that Miss Alderman likes Buick auto- mobiles. We present her with this little speedster, of which the chauf- feur Will be called Bill, But We hope that the next time she goes to hear Billy Sunday preach she will stop at Spartanburg. MRS. MCLAIN-We give to Mrs. McLain this Aladdin catalog, which con- tains cuts of the famous Aladdin houses. We hope to see one of these on her lot quite soon. MISS BRADLEY-To Miss Bradley we give this set of numbers, which We had especially made. You will notice that the one and zero are at- tached, making ten, there being no zero in this set. These will aid Miss Bradley in recording grades, and also the pupils, by eliminating the use of zero. MISS GILL-This magic Wand We present to Miss Gill, to aid her in her sudden changes from Junior high to high school teaching. MISS SMITH-T0 Miss Smith We give a private auditorium, Where she may train her Glee Clubs Without experiencing the many interrup- tions she has had to endure this year. MISS MCKAIN-Here is a book, entitled The Bliss of Matrimony, which We present to Miss McKain, feeling sure that she will find it of great value in the near future. MR. ARMSTRONG-NOW that school is closing, We feel sure that it is alto- gether fitting and proper that We should give Mr. Armstrong one ticket to Goldsboro, and two for 1'etur1z. MR. GRIER-Since several preceding classes have given Mr. Grier some- thing to eat, We know he expects us to treat him. We have gotten for him an Eskimo pie and a jawbreaker, which we hope he will enjoy. MARY GLENN-And to our mascot, Little Miss Mary Glenn, We give this kewpie.

Since jr that time we have been engaged in that mighty struggle which leads to a diploma. if 'i 1 Part of us were domiciled in Room No. 15, and the others in Room No. 17. By diligently applying our fertile brains, which our youthful heads so gracefully contained, we had destroyed a great part of our greenness when the end of the nine long months came. After a short rest, we again entered the doors, going to the same rooms-not as a group of timid, shrinking Freshmen, but happy Sopho- mores, boys and girls full of life, ready to pursue a higher course. This fall we returned to old G. H. S. as jolly Juniors, with a certain degree of satisfaction, knowing that half our race was run. We entered Room No. 13. At times, some of us have staggered under the load of some of our subjects, but these are making great efforts to get a firm footing, so as to be ready to enter Room No. 11 next year, unconditionally. This is not the place to record any achievements that have been ours, and yet we are proud of our record. Several of our boys have made the football and basket-ball teams this year. Too, a large number of our girls have made the basket-ball team. We have furnished several star players for the G. H. S. baseball team. In our literary pursuits, our Class has shown marked ability. We have had a goodly number on our honor roll. We have several representatives who will enter the triangular debate. We are proud of these, and wish them success. Perhaps it may not be amiss to state here that, if none of our mem- bers fall by the wayside, we shall be the largest graduating class Gastonia High School has ever had. Judging the future from the past, our Class has much to look for- ward to. We shall question now the future, For it at our door must stand, Loaded with the world's great burdens, To present them to our band. Let us then, with cheer and patience, Meet each duty face to face, For our school sends out the challenge, Dare the Juniors slack their pace? Soon the time will come when we must go out and fight life's battles. There is no fear in our hearts, and we're going to make old Gastonia High School proud of her Class of 'Twenty-Three. ..

A few of the group, being discouraged, now went to work, where L' little knowledge was needed, and forthwith they made little money, because they han no foundation: But when the truth was learned, they were dismissed, and because they had no money, poverty came to them. And some fell into the company of bad companions, and these com- panions, being false, led them far from the sheltering home of learning. Meanwhile, the rest of the group, who had been profiting by their teachers' instructions, are even now bringing forth fruit, some an hundred fold, some fifty fold, and some thirty fold. When their schoolmates observed that the latter were grown strong and faithful, they called upon them to serve. Now it came to pass on a certain day that a captain was needed to lead the football forces of their school into the territory of the enemy. Mighty adversaries were pressing them from various quarters. Yet their young and inexperienced team went forth courageously, r For they trusted the member of our grade who was to lead them. Now, John Hord had proven himself most worthy of this office, and had forthwith been chosen captain. On a certain day, when Miss Smith had been convinced of the power of music to soothe the savage beast, she cried aloud for musical voices, And when those who could sing were assembled, there was a great multitude, and they were divided into two bands. So, when presidents were elected, two ninth graders, Thelma Harbin and Elizabeth Spurrier, were chosen. Again there came a call for service: Volunteers were wanted for a try-out for a basket-ball team, And when all had shown their skill, it became heralded abroad that Isabel Babington had made the Varsity. These are only a few of the ways in which the Class of 'Twenty-Four has waxed powerful. 72' 31 x f' 1 X5-frm MX, E VQ4Xv xx' ,VJNYNMX 4 5, a, Aj!

X x V XX x P I I I 1 I H 4 ' ' ',,,. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY GF THE EIGHTH GRADE 4 .4 N September 7, 1921, we started on a journey called f'Trials and Tribulationsn in the High School. We were very ambitious at the start, for it meant new experiences. We were divided into three sections-A, B, and C. The first trial that came to us was that of obtaining a half-holiday, which was to be given to those sections whose students should all be there on time for one month. Ah, our noble 8B, how many times we have sat and thought how you were out having a swell time while we, 8A and 8C, were reciting our lessons! And oh! how those good-looking girls would swallow their dinner whole, and chase anywhere and everywhere to get a referee, so as to practice basket-ball, that they might beat their opponents all to smithers. But that is not allg what about those boys who were our stars in the grand old sport, basket-ball? How many times we have burned the midnight oil trying to learn zz declamation, or trying to select a good reading, which duty had generously been bestowed upon us for Society! This was another dreaded trial, We know that we have pleased the teachers by good attendance and close atention to our studies Cwith exceptionsy The sun will soon be setting upon some who will cry out with shouts of joy, and others who will cry out with shouts of miseryg and will rise again upon a divided grade. Those of us who have met our trials and tribulations with determina- tion, have found them surmountable, and have found joy in surmounting them. Many of us are even now longing for the next lap of the journey, for the bright faces of those who have gone that way are a challenge to those of us who are following close behind. 9 figs w , i ffxwlx I W. f WHEN-. an ,1 Hung: ' in SENIOR HOME ECONOMICS CLASS MISS JOHNSTON, Teacher ANNIE BLAIR ANDERS DORA SCHNEIDER ETTA SHANNON EVELYN BOYD MARY KATE POOLE VIOLET CHESTER NELL WILSON BLANCHE PUGH ZOE HOFFMAN ETHEL KENDRICK CANDACE GAMBLE SARA PATRICK N ELL DIXON LOUISE FAYSSOUX OYSTER SOUP CRACKERS CELERY HEARTS ROAST CHICKEN, DRESSING CRANBERRY SAUCE RICE GRAVY ENGLISH PEAS IN TIMBALES PARKER HOUSE ROLLS BUTTER CANDIED SWEET POTATOES FRUIT SALAD MAYONNAISE SALTINES MINCE PIE COFFEE CREAM AND SUGAR M A A I'-'I-I EIGHTH HOME ECONOMICS MARY RUTH RANKIN MARTHA ROBINSON MARY MCLEAN HELEN MORRIS ISABEL WORKMAN CHARLES HOFFMAN KATHLEEN BEATTY GRACE SMITH FLOY HENDRICKS EMILY THOMAS MARGARET CRAIG ELIZABETH LOGAN MARY SHEPHERD GRAY EVELYN RANKIN LOUISE ROBBINS MARGARET UNDERWOOD , MARGARET RANKIN , -1 .z,ix,gM, s ,- C-4,1.fg5:3,aQf.gLJ I!

Four societies were formed, with an equal number of members from each room. These societies have all been successful, and have shown more life and spirit than would have been possible with one or two societies. The programs have been well planned, well prepared, and creditably rendered. The members, in almost every case, have responded willingly, and have given generously of their time and talent when called to take part on the programs. In most of the programs, the emphasis has been placed on debating and vari- ous forms of original work. The musical features have also been empha- sized when possible. Owing to the fact that most of the meetings have been held in the rooms, there has been little opportunity for dramatic work. At Thanksgiving, a joint program was rendered, and a most en- joyable Thanksgiving play was presented, under the direction of Miss Reid. In choosing their names, the societies have shown their appreciation of the work done by the leading educators of this community. The first was named in honor of Prof. F. P. Hall, our County Superintendent of Education, who has done a great work in advancing education in Gaston County. The second was named in honor of Col. C. B. Armstrong, who was for several years chairman of our school board, and who was instru- mental in securing for us the splendid equipment we now have. The third was named for Prof. Joe S. Wray, who served for twenty-one years as our superintendent, and who, more than anyone else, is responsible for the high standing our school now enjoys. The fourth society was named in honor of that great North Carolina statesman for whom Gaston County is named, Judge William Gaston. The officers for the fall term were elected soon after school opened, and served until mid-term. The officers for the spring term were elected immediately after mid-term, and served the remainder of the year. The officers for the year were as follows: F. P.

GEORGE RAGAN 'F' P1 i 5 iw PUBLICATIONS HIS year the managers of the Gastonia Daily Gazette kindly of- fered to the school the use of their paper for the publication of g' school news. This offer was graciously accepted, and as a result the GASTONIA SCHOOL NEWS appeared in the Gazette each week. I f This contained only our news items, such as ball games, socials, society news, and personals. We feel that this news has been of interest to friends and patrons of the school, because it has enabled them to keep in touch with the happenings of Gastonia High School. We are greatly indebted to the Gazette editors, who so willingly gave us space in their paper. During 1921-1922, the GASTONIA HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE was pub- lished quarterly by the members of the Literary Societies. We have tried to make these issues the best that we have ever produced. We feel that they have furnished an inspiration to all of us to produce our very best in a literary way. We have published some excellent short stories, poems, sketches, and other material. The work in this line has been helpful and beneficial to each one who took part in it. We appreciate the co-operation of the patrons of the school, and of the citizens of Gastonia who have helped us to make this publication a boost and an advertisement for our school and city. THE SPINNER is the annual publication of the Senior Class of the high school. It is our purpose to preserve, by means of this annual, a record of the happenings of our Class, and to record the various activities of the school life here. It is not only to remind us, the Seniors, of our historyg but it is to let you, the citizens of Gastonia, know what we have accom- plished in our brief eleven years. Whether we have been successful or un- successful in this annual, all is recordedg and when you have read it, from cover to cover, you will be more competent judges of our accomplishments. xx x 1 1 iw A5 THE SPINNER STAFF BEN RATCHFORD ,. ,.. ...,.

Not only have more different contests been held, but many ,A,3 before. Unusual interest and enthusiasm have been manifested H in r in all the different contests. One of the many things which helped to cause this increased interest was the organization of an Athletic Association at the beginning of the school year. Every member in the high school joined, and was given a right to vote in all athletic matters as soon as the initiation fee was paid. Ben Ratchford was elected President, and Ralph Falls, Treas- more students have taken part in the various activities than ever 4. 'U' A urer. Gastonia High is proud of her record in athletics this year. We certainly have some of the best baseball material in the State. fm, 3 J I it J? ARMSTRONG FRANK JORDAN ..,.

When the first practice was called, not one man on the team had ever played in a gameg but thirty-five Willing and T anxious boys responded, with the determination to do their best. When the whistle blew for the beginning of the first game, which was played in enemy's territory, eleven green and white Warriors entered their first real gridiron struggle. Although contesting with the best teams in the State, Gastonia High School made a remarkable record for a first-year team. The outstanding feature of the team was the continual improvement as the season rolled by. By the end of the season, Gastonia High School had a team of which any school would be proud. This fact was shown by the great Thanksgiv- ing struggle which the green and white gave Gaffney-one of the best teams in South Carolina. Next year, we are expecting Gastonia High School to put out an exceptionally strong team, for most of the men will return to fight for the green and White. a J' is V ..., W GAMES PLAYED AND SCORES Gastonia High School ....c... .......

Eg For some reason, the boys did not enter into basket-ball as they did the other athletics. They failed to report regularly for practice, and therefore it was utterly impossible to develop a win- ning team. Interest and enthusiasm were lacking, nevertheless the team did remarkably well for a first year team. We hope that by next year basket-ball will have found a regular place in Gastonia High School athletics. +++ GIRLS' BASKET-BALL Basket-ball girls are high-minded, Believe to my soul they're double-jointedg They play ball, and they don't mind it- All day long. U ,HEY never have a worry or a doubt, for they always know that , when they go into a game they will come out victorious. Surely luulru: 4 they have not a doubt, for just look whom they have for a coach. E To show that they were afraid of no one, they challenged the ' faculty for a game, which ended in a tie. In the first part of the game, the Varsity outplayed the teachers, but in the last part the teachers got up pep, and the game proved to be a very exciting one. Just wait, and they will show Gastonia who knows how to play basket-ball. :-'----- 9 . -- - .... ,. W' ff, ' 3-NU' Z, Q IITNWKQFJ kfiafny i MISS MCKAIN ..... .

The occasion was the first Lyceum attrac- tion-a play, It Pays to Advertise. The Class spent a very en- joyable evening, and were unanimous in voting that Mr. Grier was a very delightful host. 'ir 'lf 'ic Soon after its organization, the Senior Octagon entertained the Senior Class. Most of the Class were there, and each one enjoyed the evening. After many games had been played, the girls served a delicious fruit salad course. 'lf' 'id 'ir The Seniors entertained, on January 16, in honor of Elizabeth Love, one of their number who was going to move to Mount Airy. Miss Glenn, Mr. Armstrong, and Mr. Grier were guests of honor. Numerous games were enjoyed, and ice cream, cake, fruit punch, and mints were served. 'i ic'4r- Immediately after the program given by Davidson Glee Club, on March 10, there was a reception at the Presbyterian Church, given by mothers of members of the Senior Class. A very delightful hour was spent, during which the ladies served yellow and white cream and delicious home- made cake. The Glee Club performed here under the auspices of the Senior Class. 'iv 'ir 'ir The Junior-Senior Banquet, given at the Country Club, April 7, 1922, was one of the most beautiful affairs in the history of the school. The Country Club was attractively decorated with pink and green streamers artistically arranged overhead. Tiny pink birds saucily perched on the drinking glasses held small place cards in their beaks. On each table were Jack Horner Pies, that had for plums little fortune cards tied with ribbons. Robert Glenn, the president of the Junior Class, made an estimable toastmaster. A toast to the Seniors was given by Miss Mary Lee Mason, and responded to by the Senior Class president, Carl Underwood. Miss Frances Robinson toasted the Faculty, and a response was given by Prof. Ray Armstrong. Miss Louise Long gave a toast to our debaters, which ended in a rousing yell by all present. Mr. Frank Kxincaid, in responding to this toast, displayed to the best advantage those oratorical powers that have won for him such fame. An elaborate six-course dinner was served, and appropriate and at- tractive games played. After dinner, an informal social hour completed the program for the evening. LQCALS URING'the year, the Senior Class has lost four of its members. Early in the fall, Elizabeth Albright moved to Mount Pleasant. 1, ?,ly The next one to leave us was Eva Duncan, who is now living at ' Johnston City, S. C. Clara Oakley moved to Charlotte, and is now lea-fgl attending the high school in that city. In Mocksville, January 25, Sara Elizabeth Love was married to Mr. J. Spencer Love. They are now living at their home in Love Heights. For the first time in recent years, Gastonia High School has been the proud possessor of a football squad. Although our team did not win all the games that she played, we feel sure that success is in store for each member of the squad. Among the former Gastonia High School students who are graduating from college this year are: Miss Kathryn Shuford, Queen's College, Mr. Robertson LaFar, Davidsong Messrs. R. M. Johnston, Jr., and Robert E. Boyd, University of North Carolina, Misses Clara Brawley, Myrtle War- ren, and Martha Bradley, North Carolina College for Women. Miss Brad- ley had the distinct honor of being elected President of the Senior Class. An unusual amount of interest has been displayed in music this year. A school orchestra has been organized, under the direction of Mr. Z. C. Wagoner. We also have three good Glee Clubs this year-two for the girls, and one for the boys. The present prospects indicate a promising future for these musicians. Interest has again been shown in the Commercial Course. For sev- eral years, this part of the school work has been neglected. This year, however, the course has been revived, and a number of the students are taking advantage of it. The boys of the Senior Class have organized a Hi-Y Club. Mem- bership in this Club is open to all the boys of the High School. It is hoped that, through the efforts of this Club, Gastonia may, in the near future, materialize her plans for a real Y. M. C.

MISS MITCHELL wants to know why the f5':'51 Seniors knew the Latin so well while they were teaching. IF YOU don't know the road to King's Mountain, ask Willie or Ralph. WHAT would happen if C. K. should lose his dignity? WOULDN'T it be funny if Violet would bob her hair? REDUNDANT is a popular word among the Senior Latin students. MISS BRADLEY has employed Carl Underwood to coach her on fractions WHAT would have happened to the H1922 SPINNERH if Big Ben had run down? CUPID seems to have taken a great fancy to our Class-and to our faculty, also. ETTA will be glad when the county has nothing but hard-surface roads. ANNIE BLAIR likes Boone mighty well.
