Andrew Jovner 808 tZZ Greensboro, tsl. q THE REFLECTOR YEAR BOOK OF THE GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL 1910 FORE IV 0 R D TT ' 0 the students of the High School, to our per- L sonal friends among the citizens of Greensboro and to the public at large, we present this, the second annual publication of the Greensboro High School As its name suggests, its purpose is to reflect ' 1 truthfully the life of the school and the events of the school year; to record the progress made each term; to crystalize in permanent form the fun and the work which are of necessity intermingled; and thus to inform those interested of what we have ac¬ complished, since our last Annual was published TT We beg for “The Reflector” a sympathetic reading that will magnify its strong points, and minimize its weaknesses. Before consigning it to your consideration, we would suggest that you recall a wise old saw, which may help to temper your judg¬ ment : “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne’er was, nor is. nor e’er will he, — The Editors.

Such a state of union, however, has not ayways marked our High School career. To begin with, some of our members spent their Fresh year in the eighth grade, while that delightful experience, High School Life, was begun by others in the Junior Year. The first definite steps towards class organization were taken in our Junior Year. A meeting of the class, early in the fa ll term of that year, resulted in a spirited controversy as to the class colors. The class was divided into three- factions, one standing for lavender and white, another for red and grey, and still another whe seemed undecided as to their choice. In this argument the real purpose of the meeting was forgotten and the result was that no class organi¬ zation was effected. Realizing as intermediates, our responsible position in relation to the High School, the class of nineteen eleven determined to organize on a sound basis. At the beginning of the fall term the class was organized with red and white for class colors, for our flower the Red Richmond Rose, and the motto “Per aspera : ad astra”, for our “excelsior. Under this organization plans were soon considered for entertaining the Seniors. A reception was decided upon and preparations gotten under way. The affair was a St. Patrick’s Day Cele¬ bration and we may justly congratulate ourselves on the fact that it was a suc¬ cess. Our class was the first to attempt an entertainment on such an elaborate scale and we feel proud of the result which we, with the aid of the faculty, ac¬ complished. Some time before this, at the beginning of the spring term, a class meeting was held at which the class colors were changed to lavender and white. The purple violet was selected as class flower, but with these exceptions our class organization has undergone no change. During the spring term our class formed an Intermediate Rooters Club which proved “loud” in their praise of the class of the lavender and white. About the same time several of the Intermediate girls volunteered to make High School pennants for the benefit of the class. The work was successfully carried through with the result that purple and gold pennant graces tin 1 walls of many a “den or waves bravely over many a field of victory. Taking the class individually, we have furnished the pitcher of the base ball team and players on both foot ball and base ball teams, a debater against Durhamand several members of the track team. The last chapter in our history is not yet begun but we look forward “through difficulties to tin stars,” realiz¬ ing that “if the end be well, all is well. —Historian. 38 YEAR BOOK OF TIIE junior Class Bain, Edward Boyst, William Cone, Hermann Cox, Edgar Fisher, William Hendrix, Houston Irwin, Charles Mendelsohn, Samuel Morris, Harry Moseley, Charles Pearce, Fred Phipps, Fred Pickett, Arcftie Pickett, Chester JUNIOR A.

GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL 41 Junior Class Cjnstorp Mvhtuo Pukyew The Class of Nineteen Twelve has not a very eventful history for the year of Nineteen Ten. We have not done anything 1 startling or very brilliant. One of our sorrows is that we are so badly scattered. We are not in the same build¬ ing with the Intermediates and Seniors but part of us are in the Grammar School, and some down at Davie Street. This does not make us feel very much like High School pupils and we lose the class spirit that we ought to have. The chief occupation of the Junior B Class at Lindsay Street has been to annoy Ihe teachers. At the first of the year part of us were in the chapel and it was not until later in the year that we were given single desks. Tis hard to ; iy what our class is collectively, but there are individuals in it of whom we can well be proud. Our class has some fine debaters and a good crowd of rooters. We tried to show some interest and enthusiasm by giving flowers to the Raleigh and Greens¬ boro debaters when Raleigh came here to debate. We are glad to say that two members of our class are on the first base ball team. The Mclver Literary Society composed mostly of Juniors, has furnished entertaining programmes every two weeks, and the Junior ( lass at Davie Street has organized since Christmas, the Alexandrian Literary Society which fur¬ nishes execellent programmes every Friday afternoon. 1 he ( lass is also noted for its humorists who seem to think the chief aim of life is to have some fun, and boasts of one sweet singer, Will Merrimon, who has attained the highest per¬ fection of his art in the classic song “The bear went over the mountain.” Our energies have been so scattered and our forces so divided, that we have m t had a fair chance to develop. Put us into the High School Building, and well guarantee a first class record, not in athletics and debating alone, but in every phase of school work and school spirit.

We are in such a transitory state of existence. Most of us are at present, possessed of two voices that are first high, and then low, then high again, embracing a whole scale of major notes, from the bass hoot of the owl to the thrushes’ soprano. The future mayors of Greensboro and possibly governors of North Carolina, are now struggling along with unknown quanities in Algebra—hoping to discip¬ line their minds—with little feathery down on the upper lip—and a new light is twinkling in their eyes as they cast shy glances at the girls across the room. Some future dudes are even now sporting gay cravats and cut-a-way coats. Together we have come up from the grade of phonetics, where we grunted and groaned like little pigs, now on to Hiawatha, where we paused with delight, getting glimpses of a great unknown world of beauty and loveliness. Then on we came to fractions, those infinitesimal divisions, that puzzled our brains into semi-madness, passing ot last to square root and cube root, that opened the great Newton’s mind. Ama, amas, amat, rings like the anvil chorus, simple and melodious, but the declensions are as cumbersome and difficult of comprehension as astronomy. It seems impossible now that we can ever read Virgil and Horace like our Seniors Hut we can debate—oh, yes—we can debate. Eighth grade Ciceros and Demos¬ theneses—have poured out eloquence on such subjects as Capital Punishment and Foreign Immigration that seemed to everwhelm their listeners. We expect to astonish the world yet—when our voices have toned down. I hesitate to speak of the girls, those dainty pompadoured little things that seem very much out of place in the Eighth Grade, but they recite perfect les¬ sons and surpass us boys in some (f) respects. Futurity spreads out before us—so inviting, so alluring. AVe hope to do great things and reflect credit on our teachers and fellow students.. Our grade may now be fostering an Edison or a Marconi, a Benjamin Franklin or a Washington Irving. We are the infantry of the army of workers in the High School—of very little consequence and yet a sine — qua — non, of the Senior (’lass of 1918.

The year 1!)10 has added another foot ball cahmpionship to our list—the third successive year of pre-eminence of the gridiron of North Carolina High Schools. It has produced a base ball team of which we can well be proud, and which at the present time has been undefeated by any High School team. Furthermore, it has witnessed a tremendous increase in the popularity of track a tel tics, as is witnessed by the results of the Inter-High School Track Meet, in which Greensboro won 62 points out of 100. We are proud of that record, but the one thing in which we take most satisfaction is the fact that, as winners or as losers, the boys who represent G. II. S. possess invariably the true sportsman ' s spirit, and the gentleman’ code of honor. FIRST TEAM.

On April 2d. the Greensboro High School kept up her usual standard in Athletics by walking off with practically all the honors in the inter-High School Track Meet between Greensboro, Raleigh and Winston. The meet was held in the auditorium and was well attended. From the very start Greensboro demonstrated her superiority. Out of eleven entries we won first place in nine events, second in five events and third in five events. Raleigh won first place in two events, second in six events and third in three. Winston secured one second and two third places. The total score was— Greensboro High School Raleigh High School_ Winston High School--. The Greensboro team was presented with a beautiful loving cup by Mr. M. W. Sterne for having the highest score. GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL Tin McXeil Literary Society. Tin Philomelian Debating Society.

The organizations at tin- High School this year have far outstripped those of previous years both in quantity and in quality. Our Literary and Debating Societies have n et with continued success, and are we believe, at last rai a firm basis. ' 1 ' he boys of the two highest grades compose the two debating societies; the girls of those same grades, the McXeil Literary Society. Roth boys and girls of the -Junior and Eighth tirades constitute the mem¬ bership of the Mclver Literary Society. One of the healthiest bodies in our school system is the Rooters ' Club, composed of about one hundred and twenty-five strong-lunged, whole-souled, high-spirited rooters. The members of tin other chibs are chosen by reason of their specific gifts, gracts. or peculiarities, denied to less favored mortals. HISTORY OF ORGANIZATION. At the beginning of the year 1909-10. the boys of the Intermediate and Senior Grades in the High School organized the Ciceronian Debating Society, for the purpose of gaining practice in debating. Finding that this society was unwieldy, because of its large membership, its members decided to divide it into two smaller organizations. This is the history of the formation of the two debating societies now firmly established in the High School—the Philomelian and the Diaphesian. Success has crowned the efforts of our debaters this year, and this fact has stimulated the interest in the societies. Beginning this year there will be held annually at commencement an inter-society debate.

It was not a civic nor a circus parade but the members of the Derby Devotees of the glorious class of 1910, who were appearing on dress parade before the citizens of this historic city. Upon investigation the eager crowd found that on February 21. He. of the Spiked Coattails, Leader Witherspoon, had entrusted to the atmosphere by means of his wireless that immortal message “P. D. Q.” which, translated in the language of the famous brigade, means simply “Come Quick.” As each member picked up this message he at once rushed to the fraternity hall for he knew that something great was being planned. By two-thirty each Exalted Brother from Geppy to Gobbo had arrived and promptly at two-thirty one meeting went into executive session. Leader Skin requested Snowball to state the object of the meeting. The gentleman from Senior B, responding by a noble effort, stated that the patriots had assembled for the purpose of discussing ways and means by which to celebrate the birth of their deceased brother, George Washington. After Boos had hit Lump with an ink bottle, after Pete had acquitted himself of much oratory in favor of the Manilian Law, after Scotty had ceased to eulogize Ruth and things had otherwise quieted down, it was decided that each and every member should be attired in the clothes which he wore during his stay in the Continental Army. It was further decided that on the same day in the above mentioned attire they should parade the streets of Greensboro to remind the citizens that the pensions to which they were entitled for their service under Washington were not being paid promptly. So it happened that on the morning of February 22nd the inhabitants who live in the vicinity of the old Catholic Church were startled to see before their very eyes the Continental Army, to which they owed their all, passing in review ' before them. Like a hurricane the news swept over the city, the mills were shut down, traffic ceased, all business enterprises closed and in an instant dags were hoisted and bunting spread. The day was declared by all a holiday. The millions of people of Greensboro had seen many processions, they had seen Caesar’s tri¬ umphal return from Gaul, they had seen the great inaugural parade of Taft wdiich w ' as many miles in length, but never before in her ages of existence had there been such a day as that when the Derby Brigade of the Class of 1910 was on dress parade.

D. K. ' ll Tlie Alumni Association In response to invitations issued by the Committee on Organization, inviting all persons holding a diploma from the (1. H. S., to a banquet to be held in the dining room of the M ' cAdoo Hotel, December the 28th, 1909, for the purpose of making an effort to organize a CL II. S. Alumni Association, there assembled in the parlor of the Hotel graduates of the High School as far back as 1900 and up to the present date to the number of about one hundred. For an hour or more old friendships were renewed, and new friendships were made, while all told of their happy and joyous days spent in the High School. Many confessions were made as to mischievous doings, punishments received, of sports and pleasures carried on at recess, and hair breadth escape from failure to grasp the coveted “sheep skin. As this social was progressing with pleasure to all. Mr. W. C. Jackson, called it to a halt by announcing that the banquet hour was at hand. After the Banqueters had enjoyed the first course, Mr. Jackson. Toast¬ master of the occasion arose and stated in a very tine tyle, always his. the object of the banqueting party. In short the object was to organize an Alumni Asso¬ ciation of the G. IJ. S. to work for and aid her in every way possible. Follow¬ ing Mr. Jackson, Mr. Newman White gave a toast to the past High School and was responded to by Mr. Martin Douglas. After the third course had been served, the present High School was toasted by Mr. Carter Dalton and Mr. Chas. Denny responded. The future of the High School was looked into by Miss Eleanore Elliott who toasted it, and a response was made by Mr. _ Davis The Athletic Association was not forgotten and a toast by Mr. Arthur Coffin was made to it, the response being made by Mr. Ralph Crutchfield. Another course as elaborate as the others had been served, which was followed by several very enjoyable talks by Mr. G. A. Grimsley, Mr. A. II. King, Mr. W. H. Swift and others. After the banqueting and speech making were over the business part, ot the banquet was stated by Mr. A. T. Preyer upon request of the Toastmaster. Mr Preyer after repeating the object, reported as Chairman of the Com- mittee on Organization, that the committee suggested to the meeting the election ()f officers at once and the submission to the meeting of a constitution and by- 73 YEAR BOOK OF THE laws. The constitution and by-laws were read and adopted. A committee was appointed by the Toastmaster to nominate persons for the offices of President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. They reported nominations as fol¬ lows: Mr. Allan T. Preyer. President; Miss Eleanore Elliott, Vice-President: Miss Nettie Fleming, Treasurer and Mr. Newman I. White, Secretary. These were unanimously elected. As there was no further business to come before the meeting, the motion for adjournment was carried. The enthusiasm and interest shown by the banqueters was very gratifying to the Committee on Organization, and it is believed that the interest shown was not for a moment but will continue to be shown by the Alumni of he Greensboro High School. — C. 8. D. TO A St. Patrick Celebration It was a beautiful spring day when the Senior girls and boys leisurely strolling into their room were greeted with a pleasant surprise. On each desk was a green shamrock leaf decorated with a dainty drawing. But when they were examined they were found to be useful as well as ornamental for they bore an invitation to spend a pleasant hour on good Saint Patrick’s day. Now who would originate such a unique idea but. the class of 1911? In the few days that followed all was excitement and every one was eager for the night to come on which the “wearing of the green” was to be celebrated by a reception to the Seniors. Al ast the hour arrived and St. Patrick was indeed on dress parade as the many be-ribbonod and furbelowed young ladies flitted in accompanied by their attentive -seoits. At the door of the Eindsav Street School a receiving line was stationed am? after speaking I (hem the • uples passed cn to the dress¬ ing room. Alter lengthy interviews wi .i tl • m r.or, the Seniors were ushered to the Chapel door and here had to go through with the shaking act again, but this time they were fvdly repaid, for a tiny purple and gold pennant was pin¬ ned on each guest. A beautiful scene met one’s eye as he entered the reception room. One almost felt that he was in fairv-land; instead of the ugly partition, the dusty benches and the numerous cob-webs in the corners, the room had been transformed into a garden of evergreens on a snowy-w ' hite back-ground. Where the once too-hard seats were, numbers of boys and girls sat in cushioned rockers evidently at peace with themselves and the world. When all the guests had arrived, some guessing contests kept them busy for a short while, (which proved to be very entertaining). During the games the Intermediate girls and the Senior Quartette furnished some excellent music. But perhaps the best part of the evening came, when the large folding doors were thrown back, bringing to view the dining hall, a perfect blaze of brilliancy. The decorations here were red and black, the Senior Class colors. On the snowy-white damask the tall candelabra shaded with red made a pretty GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL 73 picture. Delicious mints, cream and cake were served, which also were in keep¬ ing with the color scheme. After chatting awhile and telling numerous friends good-night, the guests departed, each and every one declaring it the most en¬ joyable reception ever given in the history of the G. II. S. Alma Sparger. “I Wonder” Ye Intermediates, and Juniors too, When the Seniors go, what will you do? Who will you copy and imitate? What will you do for a fashion-plate ?

She is also a master, or rather a mistress of expression, for she can give her opinion of each member of the faculty in plain English, which, despite their superior education is more than most High School students can do. Any attempt to describe her personal appearance would be useless for anyone who frequents these halls of learning (otherwise known as the Greensboro High School) must have noted her familiar figure and her characteristic style of dressing. Old Mrs. Apple is always ready to engage in conversation with anyone about anyone or anything. Accordingly one recent day when I observed her lazily dozing in the upper hall of the High School building. I approached her and opened a conversation by asking what she thought of Mr. King. She ex¬ pressed her opinion of him in very precise terms of which the substance is that he has “a mouth like a frog and acts like a mule” but his redeeming feature is that he has fine eyes.” Prom our principal the conversation naturally drifted to other members of the faculty. Miiss Womble, according to this ven¬ erable woman was not fitted out for a school mistress but on account of her exceeding height ‘‘would make a good bull-bat catcher. But Miss Womble she does not hanker after” for she wishes her recitation room kept far too clean to suit Mrs. Apple’s taste. Miss Elliott, so she informed me, he liked better for she was not ‘‘near so perticuler about sweepin’ and because she had known our present English teacher when she was a ‘‘good little girl. Contin¬ uing 1 found that her ideal in the beauty line was Miss Hampton, who imparts the knowledge of past events to us. At this place Miss Cauble and Miss Jones passed arm in arm through the hall. Mrs. Apple knowingly informed me that the latter could cook nothing but pork an ' beans,” and when questioned cor cerniug the former admitted that she didn’t know much about that little black- haired teacher. Of the faculty as a whole she has a good opinion and during her score of years connection with our schools has never had a quarrel with a teacher. But, she confided to me, if any one of them ever says anything td me 1 won ' t leave any hair on their heads.” A sudden turn in the conversation brought up the question of Tuff ' s’® good looks. That feller, said she, makes me feel young when I look at him. But in her opinion the best looking boy in the High School is “I’eleg’l Turner and the ugliest so she violently declared is W. C. 1). Kerr, whose pompa-l dour is like “a stiff scrubbing brush.” Just at this time the bell rang and before departing to my room I hurled one last question at her. Do you think we will get a new High School? To this she responded with all seriousness: If it gets any Higher than this one 1 will resign my position.” jhi:i: .-i;oi{o men ; ci ool 77 “CASES I here s really no Moore of Kleanore ' V - ar - e|ad to say there’s no less I hao would HC 6 D 1 a pr i .e to the Hunter’s eyes As his actions all profess.

Robert Beall’s hair w ill soon reach the proper length for one of those fashionable Buster Brown Cuts. GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL 79 It is the sincere wish of the Cicero class of Senior B that when Miss Prances Womble overheard Catiline’s plots before repeating them to her friend Cicero, she had hastened, by one of her well aimed blows, Catiline ' s descent into Hades; the result of which blow would be No Orations again Catiline. It has been moved and seconded by the McNeil Literary Society that they provide Indian clubs, acting bar and a tennis outfit for the purpose of reducing the superfluous flesh of one of its most popular members, Eleanore Moore. A few days before the close of school a horrible accident occurred in the Intermediate A room. There was an awful riot; the class was filled with terror. Each one made for the door only to meet himself rushing towards the window. Beautiful girls went on their knees to themselves and plead for mercy. Strong boys trampled themselves underfoot. 1). Kerr began to bark; Ivey T. to sprout; W. Hunter to shoot; Carroll A. to sing; W. Coffin to cough; S. (lavle to blow; E. Ilam to snort; and each student to use the means given to him by an all kind Providence to show that he was still ornamenting the earth. After the tumult had subsided and the mangled corpses had been removed, a fortunate member of the class, who had escaped with a broken heart, a sprained ear. and a dislocated nose, informed me that the cause of the disturbance was that:— “Adger Forney hod solved an algebra problem.

A RIDDLE A fearful epide mic Has arisen in our school One truly more contagious Than typhoid, as a rule. The remedies are countless A ball, a glove, a mask Nine men, a bat. one diamond Has my riddle been a task? —. 1 . II. A. 10 80 YEAR BOOK OF THE porting J otrs Iloy J. Spearman, one of the few “non-athletics” in the High School re¬ cently broke the world’s record for fast running. Spearman, so it is said, paid a visit to a certain fair South Greensboro damsel. According to his cus¬ tom. the youth lingered rather late and when he at last tore himself away he was hailed by Capt. Rob Waddell and his band of Invincibles. Spearman sud¬ denly remembered that he was wanted at home, so he quickened his pace. Capt. Waddell issued orders for a general pursuit, but Spearman quickly distanced the veteran runners which had often in a like manner distanced Greensboro’s fleetest policemen. He even out ran a stone which was hurled by alie unerring hand of the leader himself. Spearman arrived at home slightly out of breath and, as he thought, behind schedule time but on investigation it was discovered that he had covered the distance between 6.37 Asheboro St. and his home in the phenomenal time of one minute and four seconds. Interest in boxing, which was allowed to lag after the championship match between Preyer and Grimsley in 1909, recently sprang up anew in the High School. For a week or so various champions held the title and then relinquished it. Finally Richardson by winning a complete victory over all former title holders sprang into prominence. Kid Hendrix, ever athirst for new glories, immediately challenged the midget cham pion to a match. Lump politely accepted and after some time of hard training they both expressed them¬ selves as confident of victory. The match was largely attended. About 12:15 Richardson a bunch of muscle and grit entered the ring and was followed in about five minutes by Kid Hendrix who was wildly cheered. After carefully explaining the articles of agreement, the referee. Mb Froggie King, an old time star, ordered the bount to commence. Pandemonium broke loose as the two men advanced to the center of the ring and shook hands Hendiix started hostilities by tapping Lump in the eye withh force enough to cause that optic to blacken. Lump retaliated with a solar plexus blow. And so it went. Blows were freely given and taken by both men. Hendrix received considerable punishment but started a whirlwind rush which almost put Rich¬ ardson to sleep. Richardson made a last desperate rally and for a few seconds the men went at it hammer and tongs. Finally Hendrix saw the opening for which he had been working and so he made a powerful cross-counter for Richard¬ son ' s heart. But ihat murderous blow never reached its destination for Rich¬ ardson stepped in and landed a hook with the left on his jaw. Kid dropped as if shot. The referee solemnly counted off the seconds as Hendrix’ faithful seconds made every effort possible to awake him. After about an hour of un¬ ceasing labor, thev finally aroused him from his stupor. Slowly arising, Hen- GREENSBORO HIGH SCHOOL 81 lri v made a grab for the sky with one hand and with the other reached faintly up 1o see ii Richardson had left him a small portion of his jaw. Doctors assur¬ ed the Kid that he would completely recover if he was careful. Now. interest has lagged in this most interesting sport. In order to ob¬ tain the championship it is necessary to meet the demon Richardson. And no one will do this. Richardson can have the old championship, we don’t want it if we must take it from him. Nay! Nay!! Greensboro won a shut out game from High Point on Thanksgiving day 1 ut it was not Lump Richardson’s fault that she did so. It happened in this way. (Ireensboro had pushed the ball within a few yards of High Point ' s goal. The grand stand was a blur of gold and purple in the distance. High Point stubbornly resisted on their ten yard line and in some unaccountable way caused our boys to fumble. Richardson was on the ball in an instant and with it tucked safely under his arm picked his way through the struggling teams. Once in the open he glanced toward the grandstand, his eyes rested on the beautiful hair and features of M2 and he was off like a shot—not towards the goal which would have added five points to our score, but towards the goal of his affections. “Stop.’’ commanded C’apt. Hendrix but Richardson ran on. un¬ heeding. unhearing. Lump quickened his pace as he heard footsteps behind him. But it was too late, his pursuer our noble Beall was upon him. Gathering himself for the fall. Hop leaped forth and pinioned Lump’s leg 1 firmly to¬ gether. They rolled over and over in the dust and finally arose, Richardson sullen and bewildered. Beall smiling and triumphant. The game had been saved—we were still the champs. The scrub football team accomplished an almost unheard of thing last fall when they won from the “Varsity” by the score of five to nothing. For the greater part of the game the Scrubs had things pretty much their way but towards the end of the last half the weight and endurance of the Regulars began to asseit itself. The Varsity was steadily pushing the ball down the field in spite of the determined resistance of Capt. Eutsler’s light-weights. Finally the ball rested on the Scrub’s five yard line. “Going to put a touch¬ down over you.” announced over-confident Quarterback Coffin to Fatty Pen¬ nington. Pennington edged back, prepared to retreat as soon as the ball was put in motion. But Eutsler saw his intentions and taking a stand immediately behind Pennington awaited results. The signals were called and as the baP was snapped, Eutsler cleverly twisted Fatty’s legs from under him. Townsend was unable to shove aside the mountain of flesh and as a result the whole play was jammed. The whistle blew, time was up and the Varsity had failed to score. Fatty was assisted to his feet with great difficulty. Where he had fallen was a large hole in the earth, a clay mask as it were of Fatty’s gigantic pro¬ portions. It took a week to get the hole filled and Fatty the terror of the Varsity and the weapon of destruction against our new gridiron was barred from further participation in our great college sport. 82 YEAR BOOK OF THE ami) the .faculty Miss Cauble: Name the properties of salts.

The girlish days of pompadours, are tied to come no more And in their stead, on the masculine head, stands the pompous pampadour. Where are the ‘‘psyches,” the “Marcel waves,” the puffs that stiffly stood, With dignity rare in the tresses fair, of the fashionable sisterhood? ‘‘Alas they all are in their graves,”, and this gentle sex of ours Has banished ever in their wake the ancient pompadours; The turban’ed head now rules instead, and the rats away are lain, Till as time rolls on. there may come a morn, for the pompadour again. —W. 1).
