Eld TO 111 A L: As its name indicates the purpose of flip “Reflector” is to hold np a mirror, as it were, to the every day happenings of our school life; to bring before the readers the trials, temptations, successes, achievements, and the humorous happenings, all of which are so closely interwoven in the warp and the woof of school life, and lastly to create a better High Schooll spirit among the patrons and the students of the school. Whether we have accomplished this aim remains to be seen from the approval or disapproval of our readers. But, before submitting this production, the editors wish to remind you that an editor is a human being, subject to all mistakes and blunders of their kind. Therefore, we ask of you a lenient scrutiny, magnifying the good points and minimizing the defects which appear in these pages. THE EDITORS. DR. JAMES L.

A busy man is “Skin”, especially around the debating baseball and foot¬ ball seasons. He is our distinguished human skeleton, nevertheless enjoys perfect health as shown by his rosy blushes, second only to those of “Pe- leg. ” His incessant smiles and fre¬ quent grunts (meant for laughs) are famous. HATTIE ONEETA COX- McN. Born November 23, ISiU And mist runs of herself tho’ Chinn full. ' ' Height 5 feet 2 inches; weight 1113 lbs. Secretary of Class T2. “Hat,” though possessing consider¬ able temper, has never been known to lose control of it in the presence of a teacher, hence always “100” on deport¬ ment. However she expresses her opin¬ ions freely and wildly outside, and they are often drawn out longer than herself —easily enough, as she is the shortest person in the class. Pago Eighteen HILDA LANIER OGBURN McN. Born February 11, 1895 “ The dome of thought, the palace of the soul.” Height 5 feet 6 inches; weight 116 lbs. Class Historian ' 111: Associate Edi¬ tor of Sage ’10-’ll; Member of the Glee Club and Rooter’s Club ’12; Hilda is a good worker, an obliging friend, and noted for her honesty, even in jokes. Nevertheless she has a high temper which is easily aroused and which often causes sharp stings. CHARLES ANDREW MOSELEY Di.

Class Orator ' 12; Class Treasurer 12; Editor-in-chief of Sage T2; Inter-Society Debater ’ll; Vice- President Di. ’12. “Snoopy” by trade an editor, has the most studious habits imaginable. Though he is not related to the feath¬ ered world, his writing has often been mistaken for buzzard tracks, and hence a cause of sharp disapproval from his teachers. However Miss E. manages to award him “ones,” perhaps giving him the “benefit of the doubt.” Despite his wisdom he is the most bashful mem¬ ber of the class. Pago Nineteen LeROY EDGAR SCHIFFMAN, Phi. Born August 12, 1895 “Infinite richer in a little room. Height 5 ft. 5Vi; in.; weight 110 lbs. Class Prophet 12; Editor Re¬ flector ' ll. This young man who is the smallest one in the class, has the reputation for being a walking encyclopedia and dic¬ tionary combined of all Pre-historic, his¬ toric, Ancient, Mediaeval, Modern and Future knowledge with index and (at present) “appendix” attached. His wisdom consists chiefly in an interpre¬ tation of Caesar’s and Cicero’s works, and all together “Le” is the brightest member of the class. FANNIE LAMBETH HENDRIX MEN.

Her sunny disposition and generous nature have won for her numerous friends; so the Seniors have elected her the most popular girl in the class. Pay© Twenty MARY LUCIRE PICKARD, 1 .

She is extremely industrious and ever attentive, but also very talk¬ ative among familiar acquaintances. Her little, high pitched giggle is a most striking contrast to her natural speaking voice.

Blair” is the young man who rises solemnly, flicks microscopic portions of bacteria from his immacu¬ late coat sleeve, folds his arms and then attempts to use as big words as possible without choking. Accordingly as the size of an English vocabulary is limited, he has invented many words for this purpose. His latest success is ‘ 1 ambiguoisity. ” VERA LOUSE ANDERSON, lo. Born October 9, 1894 “Joyously follow laugh ley’s uith , And now nnd then indulue in ninth.” Height 5 ft. 6% in.; weight 118 lbs. On account of her jovial humor and wit Vera is a very congenial girl, de¬ lighting very mncli in jokes. She is the joker and artist of t-li:• class, and besides these accomplishments she is a good geometry student ami always gets “ones” on her essays. Page Twenty.two ISLA CATHERINE CAUSEY, McN. Born October 29, 1894 “Satire is my weapon. ' ' Height • ) ft. (5 in.; weight 119 pounds. Member of the (llee Club; Busi¬ ness Manager of Senior Dramatic Club. Isla, nicknamed c Pete , is a very solemn and quiet girl. She often makes use ,of sarcasm which she is very apt at handling. However, by using much diplomacy she is able to avoid making enemies. MARGARET BRADSHAW, MeN Born February 3, 1894 “My beauty haunts me in my sleep. ' ' Height 5 ft. 5 1 4 in.; weight 130 lbs. Marshal ' 10. Member Glee Club 12 Margaret ' s smile rarely ever wears off, and it is a frequent occurrence for her to snicker out at any moment. She is very fond of the male sex and hence powder and paint make her the most attractive member of the class. Pago Twenty.threo NELLIE LEE CLAPP. McN Born .Tn no 6, 1895 “Musical as A] j)olo’s lute. Height 5 ft. 7 in.; weight 98 pounds. “Nell” is onr most accomplished pianist. She is a very good Latin stu¬ dent but often gets “zero” on geome¬ try. She is the thinnest person in the class, and loves very much to poke one of her long fingers at Nancie during Miss Sutton’s period. JENNIE LEA COGGINS. McN. Born October 20, 1894 In maiden meditation, fancy free. Height 5 ft. Il in.; weight 112 pounds. Member Glee Club ’12; Vice-Presi¬ dent of ( Mass ' 10. Lea is quiet and dignified, and if thwarted she becomes rather discour¬ aged and sad. She is often found gaz¬ ing into space. I wonder what she is thinking about?

' 12: Class Treasurer ’09. ‘ ‘ Hedgie ’ ’ as she is called, is jolly and popular, but around the boys she is a peach; for if not the biggest flirt, she is certainly the worst. MADELINE McLEAN MOORE. McN. Born March 14, 1895 “Is slip not tassing fair.” Height 5 ft. 3 in. weight 99 pounds. Since small size and tendency toward quietness are combined in her, Made¬ line has the great advantage over tin- other members of the class of being overlooked by the teachers during reci¬ tation. tShe has the distinction of be¬ ing the cutest and daintiest girl in the class. Page Twenty-live VIVIAN EUGENIA PAYLOR, Io. Burn April 13, 1893 Give ample room and verge enough. ' Height 5 t ' t. 4K in.; weight 146 pounds. The chief character of this “wee, (?) modest crimsom tij� pe l flower” is her famous blush, which, even though she holds a book over her face, always es¬ capes concealment. She lias a peculiar understanding of poetry (especially Burns). Her fiery temper is often shown, particularly on report days. NANCIE ELIZABETH NORTH, Io. Born March 12, 1895 Out of the abundance of the heart the month epenketh. ' ’ Height 5 ft. 8 in.; weight 110 pounds. Vice-President Io. ’12; Member Glee Club ’.12. “Noncie, ” popularly termed and suitably, in accordance with the quanti¬ ty of nonsense which she endeavors to render, is the noisest girl in the class. She is generally in a go-.od humor, and (a thing which would seem unusual), studies a great cfeal. She writes a lit¬ tle rhyme now and then, and can draw “sum” when she tries.

If one did not know Myrtle, he would think her very stately and dig¬ nified instead ,of the jolly fun lov¬ ing girl that we really know her to be. She was voted as the biggest flirt in the class; but although she is at pres¬ ent often affected, it is positive that she will never grow conceited on ac¬ count of the much attention she at¬ tracts. Page Twenty-seven KATHERINE ISABEL RANKIN ' Io. Born June o, 1890 “Sot stepping over the hoinnls ot modesty. Height 5 feet 3 inches. Katherine is the youngest girl in the class, and is considered the most modest. However she comes “near the Uimit” when she rushes in the room in the morning as if she were chased by a bear, and drops down in her seat, tired to death. It, is hoped that she will some day learn to take things moderately. JANIE DIJNN ROBINSON, MeN. Born June 4, 1893 “J.s headstrong as an ‘ allegory ' on the hanks of the Mle” Height ft. 7 in.; weight 112 pounds. Janie is the proudest member of the class. Sin argues for the last, word, but happily possesses the ability of avoiding hard feelings. She is always ‘‘fussing’’ about her report, yet won’t study. Pago Twenty-olght JOSEPH WALTER ROWE, Phi.

' ll’: Secretary Phi. ’ll; Member of Orchestra ’12. “Jay” enjoys the distinction of be¬ ing flu soberest mender of the class. But in contrast to his slow and soft voice, he wields his cornet with deadly effect upon the ears of his listeners. CORA PEARL SMITH, McN. Born April 19, 1894 ‘‘lie to her virtues very kind, lie to her faults n little blind. Height feet 4 inches; weight 112 lbs. Here is a sweet, innocent girl with that expression called quietly quiescent. But nav, nay, gentle reader, mischief untold lies behind the eyes of this “Pearl of great price.” Verily, if she were a boy she would be called a “jolly good fellow.” Pag Twenty-nlnn HERMAN BERTOX TEMKO Born November 21, 1896 “And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind” Height 5 ft. 6 in.; weight 130 pounds. Herman has the honor of being the baby of his class. He is not only young¬ est in years, but in faculty, except his voice which is considered most heavenly. “Temko” is the biggest tease and pre¬ varicator, and one perpetual chuckle, (lx not deceived by the above photo¬ graph) although he is the butt of all jokes. He is a firm believer in “sweets to the sweet; ’ ’ and is on terms of famil¬ iarity with the feminine portion of the class. We close this catngory of “So¬ crates ' 7 (not from nis brains but his looks) with the statement that he wears number 12 boots. XORMA STEWART Born June 13, LSlti) Age CHimot w ither nr fortune stole her infinite vnrietv. ' ' Height 5 ft. (5 in.; weight 127 pounds. I’resident McN.

Norma is an ardent lover of sarcasm and puns are her hobby. Everyone owns her skill in arguing “for e’en tho vanquished she will argue still”, specially in geometry when she is wont to hold the floor. She is the most ener¬ getic person in her class, and, as proved by her deportment marks, the gayest. Page Thirty LEONA ALLEN THOMPSON, To. Born September 8, 1894 li A still , suinil voice. ' Height o ft. 6 in.; weight 108 pounds. Leona is the quietest member of the class. Never talks unless reciting, and even then no one can hear her, if they are more than three feet away. This is in the Senior Room—but you ought to see her hopping around and swiping dates in room No. 9. One of her pecu¬ liar traits is her dislike for music, but she is a great lover of books.

M2; Treasurer Phi. MO. “Julian Abraham Turner”, or in oth¬ er words, “Peleg,” is a very valuable addition to the class, especially as a subject of ridicule. He is the hand¬ somest and cheapest sport in our midst. 11 is charming smile extends from ear to ear. He is mightiest in athletics, for he can reach higher and put the shot farther than any other person in the High School. He is very fortunate al¬ so in his understandings (each weiging about 40 pounds) and his blush is as crimson as Vivian’s. Pago Thirty-on© NELL BLACKBURN VERNON lo. Born October 19, 1895 ‘ 1 As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted sea. Height 5 ft. (5 4 in.; weight 12G lbs. One never failing habit of Nell’s is to go through a certain series of fancy “ ju impings ’ ’ and gymnastics every time she rises to recite. She is a jolly girl, and does n,ot overwork herself by any means; exerting her mind just enough to “skin through.” FORREST EGAN WYSONG, Phi. Born March 29, 1894 I ' ll put a girdle around the earth in lorty minutes” Height 5 ft. 10 in.; weight 129 pounds. Assistant Business Manager of the Reflector 12. Although Forrest is known ns the laziest member of the class, his ambi¬ tion reaches the sky. He has had time only for a casual glance at his lessons during the year, being so busily en¬ gaged in the erection of an airship which has only one defect—it will not fly. “Woods” smile, a phosphorescent glow, spreads all over his face, and it makes such a ludicrous sight that it may be truthfully said of him, “When he laughs the world laughs with him.” Pago Thirty-two (Elaaa Pom We’re leaving our Dear Old High School A happy, gay, joyous, band. And tho’ our paths be far apart In mem ’ry united we’ll stand. tour years ago we united And each worked with all his might, In gain the name of Senior, Which was scarcely then in sight. We vo wrestled with our Latin, We’ve worked out problems in Math- And some times those themes in idn lisli,’ Would kindle feelings of wrath. We’ve had some fun at cooking, We liked to work with our ( ' hem. But the kings and Queens of History My! ' twas hard to remember them. We thank our faithful teachers For instruction kind and true, Tho’ we’ve tried their patience often; We’ve tried their work to do. We bid adieu to our monarch, We say farewell to our Mann, Both have dealt in ail their dealings, With a firm and patient hand. But a new future lies before us, Each will choose his own course in life, For the material tics that bind us Will give place to a harder strife. Our fellowship must be severed ’Tis written that we must part, To help make this old world better, By using our knowledge and art. As the future becomes more certain, And changes have taken place, May all find enough true courage To run the long weary race. If in walking the rugged way We should meet some joy and success, We ’ll always believe that the credit Was due to our Old G. H. 8. —M. Lucile Pickard. history of tlj? (Elaas of 1912 • EEPLY impressed with the popular idea that education is ■ not complete without a broad knowledge of the geography, I W people, customs, and languages of the various continents, a large crowd of young folks assembled in a certain town of North Carolina for the purpose of obtaining full senior¬ ity in the (Ireat Hall of Science, better known to us as the G. II. S. We found that we coidd obtain this only by a four years journey. Our party was made up of boys and girls, some of them hav¬ ing come from the market house on Davie Street, others from South Greensboro, and still others from Lindsay Stieet. On September the third, 1909, our party of young people, with a chanticleer on our banner, started on this journey the end of which was to be reached by passing through all the continents, North Ameri¬ ca. South America, Africa and Europe ' 01 the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grades. Since we started from North America, a country with which we were generally acquainted, we needed only two guides, who in¬ structed us concerning the country over which we were passing. It was here, in our journey, that some of the hoys of our party entered the athletic held for occasional diversion and exercise. When we reached the Rockies our way became rougher, for here we stumbled over Latin rocks and became entangled in (AIge)briers. Neverthe’ess. we retained our strength and courage through all these troubles. In traveling over these mountains, a few of our number fell, but we. bent on reaching our destination in 1912, did not wait for their recovery. At the end of our journey in North America, we embarked on the ship. Vacation, and spent a happy three month’s voyage on the de¬ lightful ocean. The old ship soon brought us to the next continent, South America, the second division of our journey. Landing here, we renewed our work with vigor and our com panv became so large that it had to be divided into three sections in order to travel more conveniently. On this continent we proved to the people around us that we were different from any class of tourists who had ever taken a trip of this kind, a class able to bear the many dangers and toils of uncivilized regions. Full of spirit and bubbling over with fun, our jolly crowd made its way to the Amazon. But here some found the way too rough and the struggle too difficult for them and floated off down the river of Failure. We were sorry to lose them ; but in spite of the efforts made by our guides to save them, they were drowned, and our large body of ninety-nine tourists dwindled down to sixty-one. Leaving this continent, we again set sail, and after another three month’s sail we anchored along the southern coast of Africa Pag Thirty-four History of the Class of 1912— Continued, where we encountered greater dangers than ever before. With a new corps of guides and under the leadership of a great Mann and a just King we were led through the third division of our journey, the land of the Intermediates. We made rapid progress at first, but before long, strange to say, we encountered the famous general Caesar. In order to meet him successfully some contemplated securing ponies, but, being unable to do so, these forsook the regular route and turned aside on the Business Course. After two month’s travel it became necessary for us to pass through a jungle in which we must contend with some of the fiercest animals known; namely. Latin. Mathematics, Physics and English. We passed through similar jungles at intervals of two months until the end of our journey, and each time the weaker ones were forced to turn back, since they could not withstand the onslaught of these monsters. The attention of the boys was soon turned again to Athletics and they made a record long to be remembered. Debating and literary societies were much in evidence, and the tedium of our way was often beguiled by inspiring flights in oratory. Thinking that our journey might be made more agreeable by organizing our party, we elected h president to lead us, a secretary to record our doings, and a treasurer to handle our finances. Glad to have overcome so many trials and happy to reach the last stage of the long journey, we spurred on. The pace of our lagging steps was quickened. We were about to reach a position worthy of especial honor, and one which we had long craved. We were sorry that so few entered the last part of the journey for the Great Ilall of Science. Out of a party of sixty-one, who set out in 1910. only thirty successfully contended with the beasts of the wilds of Africa. Leaving Africa at Cairo, our lovely ship Vacation bore us safely across the stormy Mediterranean into the beautiful bay of Naples. From Naples we journeyed to Rome. Where we studied Latin, but never learned to talk freely with the natives, and where the general history of the world both sacred and profane, has centered for two thousand years. On this journey our guides and guide books often mystified us in the mazes of a envious study of a conjungulated network of lines— crooked, straight, circular, cross-secting. disecting. intersecting, dis¬ secting. insecting, connecting, angular, triangular, biangular. right angular, left angular, parallel, diverging, ' converging, acute, and ob¬ tuse. infinitely extended, distended, and intended—a great mass of incongruities which not even our guides or guide books could make us understand. Geometry is too acute for our obtuse minds, and we take leave of this sublime and intricate mystery with profane pleasure. Once in our journey another party of toursits. who like us. w ' ere seeking to obtain a high position in tin world, crossed our pathway, and made it bright. Throwing aside all care, both parties enjoyed an evening of unusual fun, the memory of which will ever be dear to us. Page Thlrty flve History of the Class of 1912— Continued. And now we near our journey’s end:. The light from the bril¬ liant dome of Science Hall now gloriously illuminates our path, which hitherto has been so often dark and perplexing. We now feel the thrill of approaching victory. As we approach our long sought goal we contemplate fondly the experiences of our journey, and remember the kindness of the faithful guides, who brought us thither. These so often helped us out of bogs and quagmires into which our ignorance had plunged us; quickened our lagging steps when the way was weary; guided our erring feet back to the right way from which we in dis¬ couragement were wandering: and now share our joy as we enter the Great Hall to which they have so graciously ushered us. Dear, kind guides, we shall ever remember them with the tenderest gratitude. IIow beautiful in memory’s page are the sweet friendships we have formed in the fellowships of common trials and triumphs, that have thronged our chequered way. Here our ways shall part. No longer shall we journey together. No earthly prophet would dare pre¬ dict the real future of any of our happy number; but whatever may befall us; wherever we may roam; and whether success shall crown our life work, or failure mar our every effort, and disappoint our every ambition, the history of our past shall be a blessed omen of our happy future, upon which we all enter with the warmest affection and best wishes for one another. THE SENIOR CATASTROPHE A blast of wind from the North Fann(y)ed Leona’s Hat(tie ' ) off. Her-man said:, “I(s)’ll-a-a pick it up!” And she turned to the Wal-ter hide her blush. Just then Norma, to Turner attention, came in eating an icecream Cone. Upon her entrance there was a Pearce (ing) shriek. Then everyone began to sing a (Wy)song prior (Preyer to a loud Clap(p), which drew in the King And-er-son, who exclaimed ‘‘The air is very Rank-in here!” No Moore happened till a (Schiffl- man(n) came in looking Pay lor than usual and said, ‘‘The class is too Mary.” P� 0® Thlrty-alx fJmyhrry nf thr ( laB8 of 1912 w - t AYING been invited to pass a few days with my friend, Mr. Weils. I have spent a few weeks or so with him at his | P country home. Just before I started to leave, he informed me that he desired me to see a new invention of his, and accordingly led me to a mechanism that I afterwards learned to be the Time-Machine, which is fully described in his book of that name. Inviting me to take a seat in this, he asked in a tone, the seriousness of which I did not comprehend until later, how far back into the past ages I desired to travel. “Oh. about 500 B. C. will do,” and immediately the landscape dropped away, and with a slight jar, seemed to reappear. I said “seemed” because on looking up I found: that the scene had entirely changed, and that we were sur¬ rounded by people whose scanty skin clothing betokened ages long past. Explanations followed from which I learned that by this inven¬ tion Mr. Wells or. a.s he is better known, the Time-Traveller, could journey backward and forward into time as we do in space. After travelling into several other ages, I requested to be taken forward about fifteen years in order that I might get a short glimpse of the future of my classmates, and again I saw the landscape disappear. Another slight shack, and the machine was standing before what 1 perceived to be the Smith Memorial Building. By the many glaring posters, it could be easily learned that a political speaking was the cause of the large crowd that was entering. Out of curiosity we saun¬ tered in. As we took our seats a speaker arose, divested his coat sleeve of all superfluous bits of dust, folded his arms, and began to deliver his address. Immediately, I recognized my old schoolmate. Tally D. Blair, who it seems was a candidate for the governorship of North Carolina. After covering the usual ground in a political action, he returned and the next speaker the rival gubernatoriol candidate Page Thirty- Prophecy of Class 1912— Continued. arose. Glancing up I was surprised to find that this orator was Miss Vivian Paylor, or as I afterwards learned, Mrs. Vivian P. Temko. She made a pathetic appeal especially to the women voters and after discouising about the glorious future for the fair sex, now that they were permitted the ballot box, sat down. Several others followed, whom I did not recognize. Finally, just as we were preparing to leave, a candidate for sheriff came forward whose tall form immediate¬ ly made known that this was .1. Abraham Turner. His speech glowed with the same old account of our glorious past and future that I have so often heard before. Immediately afterwards the other candidate for this office was announced) Mrs. Katherine Turner. As soon as she finished, I managed to speak a word or two with Mr. Turner, who, when 1 expressed my surprise that he and his wife should both run for sheriff, said: “Oh, well, the office will he in the family anyhow.” As the speaking was now over we departed. Air. Wells excusing him¬ self on the score of a business matter, hastened back to the machine and quickly disappeared, after promising to return for me that night. Thus 1 was left alone, scarcely knowing where to go. While in this predicament, a voice hailed me. Turning 1 beheld Or. Chas A. Moseley and Miss Lucile Pickard seated in a large touring car. He begged me to accompany him home, an invitation that 1 quickly accepted. On the way however, Miss Pickard asked me if 1 desired to go with her to her club. 1 was beginning to say “No,” when she mentioned that this was a disfranchised club and at once curiosity prompted me to answer “Yes.” Miss Pickard was just explaining that this club was for the disfranchisement of ail male voters when the automobile stopped and she and I alighted before a large building I had never seen before. We went irr and took our seats just irr time; for as we did so, the minutes of the previous meeting were finished by the sec¬ retary. whom I perceived to be Miss Hattie Cox. Immediately after, the president, Miss Nellie Vernon, arose and stated the purpose of the meeting. Then there came to the front, paper in hand, Miss Nancy North, who spoke of the long ages of Man’s tyranny and dominion— ages of little progress of the recognition of Women’s Rights and of the world’s glorious future when governed entirely by the fair sex. After several others had followed, another whom I recognized as Leona Thomson arose and delivered a paper on the method by which this end could be obtained. This concluded the programme. Page Thirty-eight Prophecy op Class 1912— Cont i nurd. After the meeting was over, while we were waiting for the automobile to return, I took the occasion to inquire after several of my former school mates. Forrest Egan Wysong, I learned was now a successful aviator and in command of a squadron of the United States Airial Fleet. Misses Vera Anderson and Nellie Clapp were partners in the large Anderson Clapp Music Studio, with a glow¬ ing reputation and a large number of pupils. Miss Lillian Hedgpetli and Miss Fanny Hendrix had gone into darkest Africa as missionaries where if they have the luck to escape the dinner pot, it is hoped that they will make many converts. I also found out that Ralph Lewis was now a minister of the Gospel and drew large crowds every Sunday by his attractive sermons. However when I learned that most of these were written by Mis. Margaret Bradshaw Lewis, I concluded that this was a natural result. Soon the automobile arrived and we were conveyed safely home, after leaving Miss Pickard at her distillation. Here when we had finished a fine dinner and ha 1 assembled on the porch. I again took opportunity to ascertain the fortunes of my classmates. I was told that Miss Hilda Ogburn had made quite a repu¬ tation as an artist and in proof was shown a print of one of her famous paintings entitled “Fun”. Miss Madeline Moore was from choice an old maid, living on an income which had been left her by a distant relative, and with which she suppotts several cats. Mr. Herman B. Temko was conducting the political campaign of his wife, Mrs. Vivian P. Temko, in the hope of a place among the judiciary when she should become governor. Miss Myrtle Preyer had gained great fame as an opera singer, and in that capacity had made two toms of Europe. Miss Janie Robinson was a school teacher in the High School, teaching Algebra and Geometry. Herman Cone had become a famous play wright with an international reputation; one of his latest productions being “A Midsummer’s Night’s Mare.” I also learned that Miss Norma Stewart was the editress of a large monthly periodical which, under her management had grown from a small country paper to its present greatness. As this account was being finished. I heard a slight noise and looking up, within a few paces of me, I saw Mr. Wells seated in his machine, and beckoning impatiently. Unnoticed. I took a seat beside him. Dr. Moseley was still talking. 1 heard him say, “As for Fred Pearce, he is now very successful as a grafter.” “What!” 1 exclaimed. “I always thought Fred was very honest.” “Oh!” was Page Thirty-nine Prophecy of Class 1012 — Continurd. the response. “I do not mean in that way.” “Fred is employed in the horticultural department t ' the United States agricultural bureau. He makes a business of grafting trees and has evolved several varie¬ ties. In fact- ” but I heard no more for Mr. Wells had pressed n button and we were again in the year nineteen hundred and twelve. Page Forty ICast Hill attii uuTitmmntt af Iljr (Class af 1912 Records show that there has been much wrangling and disputes in the past, because noted personages before their decease neglected to leave definite directions as to the disposal of their property. In not a few cases, the rightful heirs have been deprived of their deserts. Thus with these facts in view, and fearful lest our successors be de¬ frauded, I, as the chosen one from the class of 1912, realizing that the end of the class is near at hand, do draw up and sign a will; and I do this day annouce to the interested and curious ones the following gene¬ rous and valuable bequest: FIRST, Re it known that the members of the class of 1912 do declare with me that this is their last will and testament. ITEM 1. To our successors we give our Senior Class room. Likewise we give to them all records of past achievements, together with the favors won from our class teacher. Treasure them as relics of the past; for they tell of battles dearly won. ITEM 2. We give and bequeath to these same Intermediates, that they may be more successful in obtaining from Dr. Mann and Mr. King the much sought after privilege of being allowed to enter the High School by way of the main entrance, our greatest good wishes. Let the records of our failure force you to strive mare strenouslv for this privilege, because it is a “consumation devoutly to be wished.” ITEM 2. We joyfully grant all remaining privileges to the Intermediates, such as the right to have a class pin, and the honor of leaving to all posterity a likeness, in the form of a picture of each of their fortunate members in the G. II. S. Annual. ITEM 4. To the members of the incoming Senior Class, we grant the pleasure of participating in all those social functions hereto¬ fore held in honor of the Seniors. ITEM 5. We give and bequeath to each succeeding Senior Class the possibility and probability of failing on Geometry. ITEM 6. To these intermediates we thankfully hand down all the dreams and nightmares that we as Seniors have been heir to, namely: Miss English appearing as a ghost, doubled in height and wearing a shroud made of Hamlet’s soliloquy and Chaucer’s Canter¬ bury Tales, carrying in her right hand a grade book marked in bloody figures of 5’s and zeros, and in her left hand bearing aloft a bundle of themes upon which were blazoned the one awful word “Rewrite”. Then suddenly we awake and discover that it was all a dream. Being seniors, and having pored over some “forgotten lore” until long past midnight, we as suddenly fall asleep again, repeating as we doze oft Page Forty-one Last Will and Testament— Continued. “To die to sleep no more—for in that sleep what dreams may come.” Alas! what dreams do come. This time it is only Miss “Latin,” stand¬ ing ' over us exclaiming: “Well, this was such a poor lesson, you may just take a double ' amount for tomorrow.” ITEM 7. But it is all ended, and graduation is in sight. So now to the Intermediates we bequeath ail the joys and honors of being Seniors; and the proud feeling of exultation when you at last, discover that you will be the possessor of a “sheepskin.” ITEM 8. And last but greatest we do will to said class our love and best wishes for a happy Senior yea.:. ITEM 9. As there remain a few cherished possessions whether of body or mind, owned by individual members of the class of 1912, and by common consent, feeling that they should be carefully pre¬ served, we entrust to the sacred guardianship of those members of the Intermediate class who seem in most need of these possessions the following articles: 1. To Margaret Shaffer we bequeath the appetite of Lillian 1 Iedgpeth. 2. Be it known that .John Wilson, by our common consent and approval, comes into full possession of Mr. Tullius Ilostillus Blair ' s swell head. 3. That the sun-kissed pompadour now owned by Vivian Bay¬ lor shall descend onto “A Hunter’s” head. 4. What knowledge of Geometry ever possessed or owned by Bueile Pickard be it. known shall now pass to John Stone, together with the hope that his grades will be equally as low as those credited to Miss Pickard. 5. We hereby announce that Gertrude Lea shall become heir to the vast amount of Latin stored away in Forrest Wysong’s book, but sad to relate, mostly absent from his head. 6. To Harry S. Morris we give and bequeath the statue of Ralph Lewis. 7. Realizing that some people appear greater than they are. we will to Houston Hendrix the meekness and humbleness of Herman Temko. 8. Shakespeare could write about blushes and every girl can paint them. (I speak from experience) but only a few possess them; so to Isabel Bouldin we bestow those flushes that Julian Turner has treasured away. ITEM 10. We give to Dr. Mann the amusement of warning the Seniors that, if they fail by hook or crook to pass on Bi-monthlies, they shall suffer the penalty of again assuming the role of an Inter¬ mediate. We give him also the privilege of exercising an unusual amount of patience while looking over and marking the Senior reports. ITEM 11. As we have received so many benefits from the G. II. S., we feel that we have nothing good enough to offer in return. Pag© Forty-two Last Will and Testament— Continued. Hut we hereby tender our appreciation for what we have received in the past and pledge our loyalty for the future. ITEM 12. And finally to the whole student body, we give and bequeath our delicately organized ' and very much weakened, nervous systems. We also bequeath our visions slightly impaired from work under electric lights. In witness whereof, we do hereunto set our hand, this the twenty-third day of May, 1912. Class of 1912.

However, we soon learned the art of holding a Latin verb between our teeth while fumb¬ ling with both hands for the remaining portions of the sentence, and our marks began to give a slow but steady imitation of a thermometer in August. .Many and varied were the styles in which we attempted the soluti n of Algebra problems. Some would fight bravely in the open, while others would sneak around and try to catch the unsuspect¬ ing problem in the rear. Eventually, we found by a combination of both methods the cherished result might be attained: so our troubles began to lessen. Finally the end of the term came, bringing to most of us a neat little document entitling us to the joys and sorrow s of the Junior Grade. We were quite a husky grade at the beginning of our next year, but alas! we were not destined to remain so. At the end of the second month full many a familiar face was gone from our midst into the depths below. This term saw a number of us deserting the thorny paths of Latin for the quieter way of Shorthand. Both divisions made wonderful progress. Whenever a Latin student “pulled off” some mutilated form of Caesar’s language, the disciple of Pitman could produce a number of wigglv marks which no one else could read, and of which, if he would admit it. he was none too sure himself. But, in all seriousness, the year was a good one. With the exception of Phy¬ sical Geography and a change in the History diet? we struck nothing new, continuing boldly along the now familiar paths of English, Al¬ gebra. etc. Presently May came on. bringing with it the grim features of the Finals. But to a man we stood boldly, for we had supped too full of the sorrows of Bi-monthlies to fear anything else. With this brave stand our second term ended. This last term however has been most fatal of our High School life. Over eighty strong at the beginning, at the present time we number less than half that. After the smoke had cleared away from the first crash of the Bi-monthly batteries we found but a handful left of the number who had begun the year with such high hopes. The second fire also drew its victims, but they were few. for the target Page Forty-eight History of Class 1913 — Continued. we presented was pitifully small. That was the end of Demotions. As we were determined to reach the Senior grade or die in the attempt. So far I have said nothing cf our organization, but “murder will out, and the truth will not be hid.” Our officers are too well known to need mention, our co ' o’.s are white and gold, while we con¬ stantly strive to live true to our motto: “Primus inter Pares.’’ —HISTORIAN. qTWODESTY There’s a fellow just behind me, And he surely has got sand, Because he’s trying to make a poem That will be simply grand. I sure do have to hold my sides, On looking at this jade (?) For he doth seem to have forgot, That poets are born, not made. There’s another on my left side, And him too I do chaff, He’s trying to write a master piece, A thing which makes me laugh. O, poor deluded mortal, Though in our glorious grade, You haven’t yet learned, you poor dunce, That poets are born, not made. There’s a fellow that sits with me, And he sits in the very same seat, And just to read his poetry, Is sure a glorious treat. Ah, poet, thou great poet, Of thee ’tis truly said, “A man may be a self-made man, But poets are born, not made.” If you don’t think what I’ve said’s true, Or think my words amiss, Just read the other’s poetry, And then—read-THIS. —Sage.

It has been a “sifting and weed¬ ing’’ process with a motto of “The Survival of the Fittest and. as the first examination showed, it was only a slim majority who were the fittest . 1 his process of change and demotion can best be described by likening it to .a battle. We will suppose the time of this battle to be back in the old Roman days and the two opposing forces, the Nobles and the Plebs or Common People. The teachers will be the generals, the live sets of questions, their legions, and the pupils the People. The day of battle dawned bright and clear giving a little hope and courage to the poor down-trodden Plebs. They had arisen early to look again to their defences or to sharpen weapons. At 8:30 A. AI. the People began collecting in their appointed positions (class rooms: ; and at 9:00 A. AI., the fighting began. At first there was only skirm¬ ishing (the first and easier period) but before a half hour had passed the fray had reached its “high-water mark, and at this mark if stayed for si short while. Gradual.y however, the superior equipment of the nobles began to tell: often and more often the training the Gen¬ erals had received in war schools began to show in their charges and maneuvers. This continued till 10:45 A. M., at which time both sides agreed to a few minutes for rest and recuperation. At the end of the 15 minutes truce a new and fresh general with a new and fresh legion was sent by the King against the army of the Plebs. Again the result was the same as that of the first battle and the third battle fol- lowe 1 in the direct path of its two predecessors. Some who were better armed than the masses escaped “Death on the battlefield only to fall by the wayside a few days later: others escaped entirely, leaving the dead and wounded on the field for they were bound by a pledge to “give no help’’. The dead were so numerous that the enemies “Doc¬ tor was compelled to be very brief, only having time to made tin- casualties by little red marks or figures. These wars were waged every two months an 1 many more Plebs were conquered. Those pupils who did remain in the .Junior Grade after the de¬ motion gladly welcomed the many new additions from higher grades and before many days, things were again running smoothly. The next (second) set of Bi-monthlies were passed with somewhat more ease by most of us. as was the third, etc. The next exams, are the finals: but “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, so we won ' t discuss them. Besides performing to the best of our ability the school duties, we have entered strongly into -athletics, furnishing on the foot-ball squad (1911) five men. on the base-ball squad (1912) three.

This year we intend to defeat them and by so doing win the first point in the fight for the loving cup offered by the Alumni Association to the So¬ ciety winning the best two out of three commencement debates. On the whole our regular meetings have been carried on with good conduct and a close observation of parliamentary usages. But we have not used the same routine for every meeting. At one meeting we were invited to a play by ne of the girl societies and spent a de¬ lightful afternoon in viewing the wonderful dramatic talent of the beauty of our school. Seve: al meetings have been given over to lectures by our Superintendent, Dr. J. L. Mann, on questions of the most in¬ tense interest. Altogether, in our society work we have spent a most pleasant and profitable year. — HISTORIAN. Page Slxly lwo (Emnumtmimtt Qrbatr Negative HUGH WOLFE—Di. HARRY MORRIS—Di.

To eticou age the art of debating and maintain our high standing among other High Schools the Ciceronian Literary Society was organiz ' d in the fall of 1909. But because of its extensive membership a division was made, resulting in a keen but friendly rivalry. During the term of 1910-1911, much interest was taken in the Society and we furnished two of the four t:iangulai debaters againsl Charlotte and Raleigh. In the fall of 1911 we again met in our society hal l, this time in the new building. Taking up our work where we had left it off in the spring, we set to work to perfect ourselves as debaters. I nusuallv good debates have resulted from our loyal co-operation to make the Society all it should be. Since so great interest has been taken in our semi-monthly progiams the boys have, to a large extent become skilled debaters, and they have displayed this skill in warm but friendly at¬ tacks upon the vigilant second censor. Although our regular program consists mainly of debating, wide variations have been made. When no subject had been assigned for debate, the section on duty often gave extemporaneous speeches. Even a mock trial has been arranged with the Diaphesians which will be of great interest to all and which will aid greatly in keeping our enthusiasm up. Even as we have gtown strong in the past by practice, so we expect to grow stronger in the future, and become a great factor in sending out well trained graduates from the G. II.

Due in tlie large, unweildy number, it was decided at the begin- ing of the fall work in 1910 to divide the organization into two divisions which were to work under a separate leader¬ ship; so tin 1 Ionian Literary Society was organized October 28th. with members from the three highest classes of the school. Later bla de and gold were decided upon as the Society colors; and “Audi Suprrc (dare to be wise) as our motto. Although we could not be the oldest society in the school, we decided that we could be the best; and striving towa:d this goal, we started to work in earnest, with three objects in view: First—to cul¬ tivate a greater appreciation of literature; second, to enable the mem¬ bers to express themselves intelligently: and lastly, to foster a better social! spirit. The different girls who, in turn, have had charge of the enter¬ tainment committee have striven to make their programme the mosl varied and best of all the proceeding ones. In this way each one has brought out the very best that was in her leaders. Our work has in no way been monotonous, for fun has been mixed with work, and we have enjoyed and profited by readings, recitations, instrumental and vocal solos, debates and old time spelliing matches. Indeed, when our members have appeared in public events, they have done so wefl that even our rival society has congratulated us. From the firm foundation from which we began, the loyal Io- nians have broadened their work out until now, at the close of its second year, the Ionian Literary Society forms one strong, indespen- sable factor among the numerous elements that make up our High School. ■—Til ST OF TAN.

On December, 1909, the McNeil Literary Society was formal, and grew steadily in interest and influence; but last year, on account of the large number of members, it was thought best to separate it into two distinct societies. The mernbeis were therefore divided; each section following out its own plans for work. We accordingly began our work for the year; and after electing officers and organizing we decided to retain the old name. The pur¬ pose of the 1 Society is to train its members to be able to express their thoughts, and improve whatever talents they may have. The Society was again organized in the fall of 1911 ; and at the first meeting it was decided that it should meet every other Friday, instead of every Friday, as had been the custom. Under strong guid¬ ance, its purp se was kept ever before the members. Many interesting programs were rendered during this year; which added greatly to the enthusiasm of the, girls, and thereby caused them to become members— more loyal than ever before. We, as pupils of the High School, .and members of the McNeil Literary Society, are proud of our Society, and hope to see its interest steadily increase, until it occupies one of the most important places in the work of the High School. — TIISTORIAN.

They won several games from neighboring towns, such as Lexington and High Point, The next year. 190b, acting on the suggestion of seveial High School b ys. the Athletic Association was organized. Since that time, it has grown wonderfully until today almost every boy in the High School is a member. The Asociation has always stood for the physical edu¬ cation of the high school, knowing that the world does not want men with strong minds and weak bodies; nor does it want men with strong bodies and weak minds, what it is looking for is a happy medium. For this reason athletics have been encouraged in the G. II. S. The name “Athlete” means to some people, nothing more or less than a man with the body of a Hercules and the mind at ' that long eared first cousin to a horse. This is a great mistake, for athletic games within themselves are an education. They require rapid thought backed with rapid action. They reqrdre a brain that is quick to per¬ ceive and quick to take advantage of an opportunity. A slow thinker in base ball or foot ball game, though he be a giant in strength, is a hin¬ drance and not ' a help. The reports f college athletes show that they are not only superior in health but in many cases superior in studies to those who take no part in the contests. Because we wish to make men as nearly perfect physically and mentally as possible, athletics have been and always will be a vital organ in the anatomy of the GREENS¬ BORO HIGH SCHOOL. Page Seventy-eight JOSEPHINE VAUGHN, Athletic Sponsor jfoot � 1ll HE foot ball season of 1911 was more disastrous to the team, to the spirit of athletics, and: to all that High School boys hold dear than any other period in the history of the G. H. S. Athletics. When practice was announced last September, and aspirants for the team were given notice to report to the captain, spirits ran high, and visions of Raleigh’s—the champions— defeat floated before the eyes of many. These visions were partially frightened away when it became known that last year’s coach, Mr. S. ( ' . Williams, would be unable to give us his valuable services this rear. .Mr. Harry Grimsley, the coach, is the one to whom the efficiency of the team is largely due. Knowing the game well, and having the ability to impart his knowledge to others, hi 1 soon made a team out of a practically “green” bunch of men. The team played four authorized games before it was destroyed by an edict of long standing in the High School which is that every participant on any team playing under the High School name and authority, must average seventy-eight per cent, on all studies or be withdrawn from the said team. This edict was st itcly enforced after we ha 1 won three out of the four games played. It to k nine men off and consequently the team was destroyed.

She ha ; only arrived the morning before from her Southern home and so far not a girl had spoken to her. “Maybe they will tonight, though,” she said hopefully, jumping up to dress for dinner. It was a very dainty little figure that looked back at her from the mirror, a half an hour later as she started down. “Perhaps they think I ought to speak first.” th ught Cynthia. “I believe I will try it.” So when a pretty girl in blue came toward her down the hall, she smiled graciously and started to speak, but the girl drew herself up haughtily and passed 1 . Poor litt ' e Cynthia was utterly crushed. The beautiful October days passed slowly by and gradually lengthened into weeks, but still Cynthia had made no friends. She took long walks through the Autumn woods, with her kodak for a com¬ panion : but even this lost its charm. At last she could stand it no longer. “I believe I will write to Daddy tonight,” she thought, “he will understand.” As she started back to the hall, a laughing group passed her bound for the tennis courts. She drew aside behind s me hushes to let them pass. The girl who had cut her so rudely seemed to he the leader of the group, and as they went by she heard this remark: “That little Southern gird hasn’t tried to get in with us again. Just keep on giving her the dead cut and maybe she will see that we don’t want her here. ' Phis was the last straw. Running up to her room Cynthia threw herself on the bed and sobbed he v self into quietness. She did not go down t dinner, but no one seemed to miss her or ask where she was. At last she dropped into a fitful sleep, disturbed by feverish dreams. Suddenly she was awakened by cries and sounds of confu¬ sion. Sitting half upright she found her room bright with a lurid Page Ninety-three Cynthia— Continued. glow and the reflection of angry flames dancing on the walls. From her babyhood Cynthia had been pitifully afraid of five and now she was almost paralyzed with terror. Summoning all her courage, how¬ ever, she threw her kimona around her and rushed into the hall. Here was a struggling mass of girls almost suffocated by the blinding smoke, clinging to each ; ther and pushing and crowding like a helpless flock of sheep. The main staircase was a fiery furnace now and it was only a matter of a few moments before the flames would spread to the only other way of escape. Suddenly Cynthia’s terror slipped from her. She saw only her companions’ danger. Her mind w rked with lightning rapidity. “Quick.” she cried, ‘‘turn and run to the back staircase, it is safe there.” Pushing, commanding and urg¬ ing them, she at last got them out into the night. From here all was a wild, grand spectacle. The flames leaped crackling to the skies and showers of sparks fell to the ground. Cynthia looked up to her room for a last glance, for she knew that within a few minutes the ruof would fall. Then she caught her breath in horror. There at the window next to her room was the despairing white face of Mildred, the girl who had made the remark that afternoon. For only an instant Cynthia h esitated—then throwing her kimona over her head she plunged into the flames. Grasping and choking she made her way through the smoke. -Almost fainting she staggered into Mildred’s room, and with super¬ human strength, seized the now unconscious girl, wrapped a blanket about her, and slowly made her way to the door. Down the halls she went staggering under her heavy burden. It seemed an eternity before she saw the door and felt the cool air on her face. It was only a step now. Could she make it? She must. Putting all her strength into a last desperate effort, she ran through the door and fell into the arms of the sobbing, hysterical girls. Then all went black before her. When consciousness returned she was lying in a dim room with cool wet bandages about her burned face and body. She stirred, felt the bandages and tried to think what had happened. Then it a ' ll came back in a flash. “Is she safe?” she asked faintly. A nurse in a white uniform crossed the room and knelt down by her. “Yes, little girl,” she said softly, “and thanks to your bravery, not a girl was hurt. Page Nlnely four Cynthia— Continued. They all went to see you as soon as you feel like it. Turn over now and try to no to sleep.” Cynthia turned over and realized with a happy glow at her heart that at last she had made friends.

The first source of entertainment that the High School pupils enjoyed, was the reception gvien by our foot ball team to the DanviUe team. This gathering took place at the beautiful home of .Mr. R. G. Vaughn. Every one seemed to have a good time and many pleasant acquaintances were made. The foot ball season ended before the scheduled time; hence we were deprived of the usual festivities that come with the foot ball games. In February the long-looked-for 1 niversity 1 lee Club arrived and gave a very delightful program in our chapel. The Lyceum attractions which have been hold in the Smith .Me¬ morial Building, have, with the exception of one or two, been thorough¬ ly entertaining. The entertainers were as follows: The Edwin R. Weeks Company, humorous p.ogram: Senator Vardanian, of Missis¬ sippi; Ralph Parlette, humorist lecturer; English Opera Singers; The Bell Ringers: Wilbur Starr Quartette Company, a male quartette; and Ross Crane, cartoonist. Last, but by no means least, was the delightful entertainment given by the class of 1!)13 to the Seniors. This is the one shining star that a senior has to look ha k upon. The (ireensbo:o High School building in which it was he ' d, was very artistically decorate ! in the Senior colors—green and gold. The program for the evening ran: 1. Fifteen minutes chat while assembling in the chapel. 2. Play—“The Register.” 3. Refreshments. 4. General Good Time. The first number was a decided success. Never before had the new building been the scene of such enjoyment. Then came the “Register.” Here was another glorious hit When the play was fin¬ ished there was such applause and such sincere congratulations as have seldom been witnessed. Next came the refreshments. Such mints !!! Such ice cream !!! Such cake !!! Such punch !!! Words cannot sufficiently eulogize them. The color scheme of green and gold was also carried out in the refreshments and although they were “loud” and looked quite poisonous, what cared we? Tn conclusion came a general good time. Why even the bashfii 1 ones warmed up to the o casi: Talking and dancing, dancing and talking. Who cared about the floor? Who cared about the seats? Here was a good time. And one not soon to be forgotten by the seniors. During the Spring several highly enjoyable receptions were given to the visiting baseball teams.

The object of the Association as stated in its constitu¬ tion is for the moral, intellectual and social improvement of its members ; the stimulation of an educational advance¬ ment in the community, and the promotion of the best interests of the High School. This year with the desire to inculcate more interest in debate and literature the association has offered prizes for excellence in these branches of work. In the early life of every organization the result of its efforts is not felt so keenly as in later years. Thus the present association may be looked upon as merely the foundation for a great organization that will make the Greensboro High School always stand pre-eminent among High Schools in our state. The true student must realize that he is a member of the Great¬ est High School in the State, and that he must do his best to keep it so. Every student should put his whole heart and soul into the well being of the High School, and at graduation step with the same spirit into the life of the Alumni Association. Let every one that is or has been connected with the High School make his or her best effort al¬ ways to help our Alma Mater, and we will see a High School that our whole Southland will esteem.

There may have been a time when this was necessary but it is not so today. When you patronize a life insurance company o f the South, you are helping to build up your section of the country. The Southern Life Trust Company invests its money in each commu¬ nity where it writes insurance. That money develops that community by building homes and stores and factories. If you want your insurance money to help develop the South instead of other parts of the country, then why not pick the best of many good companies. The Southern Life and Trust Company is the strongest Southern life insurance company (not writing industrial insurance), and is the only life insurance com¬ pany organized in the last twenty years, which has been successful enough to go on an annual dividend basis. Its premium rates are the low¬ est and there is no other company in the coun¬ try paying larger dividends to its policyholders CAPITAL $300,000 SURPLUS $300,000 SOLID.
