Blair, the son of E.:o3 and Eunice Blair, was born in Randolph County, North Carolina, in the year 1852. He was reared on a farm and re¬ ceived his early training in the public schools—in the Oak Forest School and later in the Springfield High School, in Guilford County, three miles from his home. After finishing the high school he went to Trinity College, N. C. He entered the profession of teaching soon after leaving college, and continued in the same work until his death. During these years he was con¬ nected with the h ' gh schools of Friendsville, Tenn., Ralei gh, N. C., Guilford College, and Greensboro, N. C. He came to Greensboro about the year 1888 and began his work in this place as principal of the old Bellevue Academy. Later, when the Graded Schools were organized, he taught in the Lindsay Street School, and was transferred from there to the principalship of the Asheboro Street School, where he remained until his death on November 14, 1912. Lee T. Blair as an example, as a man teaching both by precept and prac¬ tice, was the trait in his life which was displayed in passing a pronounce¬ ment upon his character and upon his influence in the community. His work was not of a kind that could be definitely measured and estimated In his latter years he taught the children of those who first were under him in the old Bellevue Academy. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that his life and character were es¬ pecially appropriate in his contact with the children who came under him. Touching them at a most critical part of their lives, when they were being formed and directed into the avenue of proper citizenship, he had that character and that manner which would direct and reveal good impulses and which would encourage the child toward the higher ideals in life. In touching the child at this time his work was of such a kind as only eternity could measure, for the impulses he stirred will develop and grow with the growth of the children and their children’s children. tula ISmtsB Belloved member ©£ the Contents L-K HI Dedication—Lee T.

The End_158 Pa£e DR. J. L. MANN, Superintendent, Greensboro City Schools Okrrtutcui In publishing this book, Volume Vi, of The Reflector, it has been our purpose to present to you some of the efforts and achievements of the Greensboro High School. The spirit of our school days, inter-scholastic contests, and friendships formed—these are the things we like to remem¬ ber, and have stored away for future years. May you find herein something of interest that will cause you to be at¬ tracted more and more, and have a deeper reverence for old G.II.

William Page 20 ROLAND PRINCE McCLAMROCH, Di. “I dare do all that may become a man, who dares do more is none.” Age 17 Weight, 123 lbs. Height 5 ft., 6 in. Secretary and Treasurer Class, ’13; President Class, ' 14; President Di. So¬ ciety. ’14; Manager Football Team ’14; Marshal, ’13; Triangular Debater, ’14. Here comes the president of the class, the Honorable R. “Percy” Me Clajnroch, who amongst all his dig¬ nities has the misfortune to be nick¬ named “Skin”. He seems to be very popular and quite a “figure head” at G. H. S. Extemporaneous speeches are frequently heard from him in chapel, and he reflects great, credit on his instructors. Leaving out his dislike for girls and his pointed sarcastic remarks, he is quite a nice chap and sometimes he can be real agreeable and cordial—seldom though it be. Pafie21 WILLIAM MARSHALL BOYST, Di. ‘ 1 I scorn to change my state with kings.” Age 18. Weight, 145 lbs. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Monitor Di., ’10; Vice-President Di. Society, ’14; Football, ’13; Triangular Debater, ’14; Business Manager Re- flector_ ’14. Bill is the “boy from the candy kitchen’’ and who is consequently a great favorite with the fair sex. He has dangerous flirting brown eyes and even makes Miss Waterhouse smile during bookkeeping. Geometry is his specialty and round 100’s always fall to him. LEONE ELIZA BLANCHARD, To. ‘ ‘ Perfectly beautiful let it be granted her.’’ Age 18. W eight, 94 lbs. Height. 5 ft. Although Leone is the smalles t, girl in the class physically, she is one of its largest mentally. While solving a geometry problem she is very amus¬ ing to watch, and if one could see her despairing glances you would think that she didn’t know a thing about it, yet she always gets a hundred. It is prophesied by several members of the class that she and Frank Pritchett will be very much interested in each other in later years. Paso 2 2 KATIE BROOKS, lo. “Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax.” Age 17. Weight, 110 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 2 in. With Katie’s charming personality and good looks, no wonder she was elected the prettiest girl in the class and she fills the part to perfection. She is a quiet little body, and takes life just as it is without any argu¬ ment whatever. “Coach Class” is her favorite pastime with Professor Gantt. JENNIE ELIZABETH BRITTON. To. “I would rather laugh at the present than have sad experience for a teacher.” Age 17. Weight, 105 lbs. FI eight, 5 ft., 1 in. Critic To. Society, ’Id; Glee Club, ’13. Last year a great addition was made to our dass in the shape of this young lady, who hailed from Norfolk. Jen¬ nie is one of the most popular girls and especially when she comes from her home at recess. One of her great attractions is her capability of “do¬ ing” vaudeville songs, which she does with much success. She has black curly hair and brown eyes—the com¬ bination is certainly dangerous. ! a6e 23 JAMES WOODROW CLARK, Di. ‘‘For I never knew so young a body with so old a head. ’ ’ Age 15 Weight, 140 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 10 in. Di Society; Editor Reflector, ’12; Editor-in-Chief Peflefletor, ’14; Edi¬ tor Sage, ’14; Vica-President Class, ’13; Football, ’14; Orchestra, ’12, ’13. ' 1 4; Glee Club, ’13; Commencejment Debater, ’14. This young man has the distinction of being the youngest member of the class and is a perfect walking ency¬ clopedia. Woody’s middle name is “argument” and on Latin he always takes half the period arguing over one construction. He is good on geome- erv and is always slow in handing in his papers never getting to finish them. Woody is a great favorite with every¬ body and was elected the smartest senior and best all round member of the class. ESTHER CLAPP, lo. “1 summon up remembrances of things past. ” Age 18. Weight, 120 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 7 in. Esther reminds one of a Puritan maiden with her pensive, quiet coun¬ tenance, but even though she is quite a contrast with the other members of the class, she is greatly liked by all. Nothing ever stirs her up very much, except when Miss Howard calls on her—but that is enough to excite any¬ body. Vait© 24 ETHEL COX, lo. FLOSSIE HURDLE DENNY, McN. , “A maiden of sixteen summers.” Age 16. Weight, 105 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 2 in. Marshal, ’13; Vice-President McN., ’14; Editor Sage, ’10. Speaking of sarcastic maids, Flossie takes the prize away from all of them. She is a very coy little girl and it is amazing to see how one so small can solve such difficult geometry prop’s, but she does it with the greatest ease. Seldom is a zero put down for her, therefore she is considered a mighty lucky girl in the Class of 1914. ‘ ‘ A little body wherein is lodged a mighty mind.”’ Age 16 Weight, 112 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 3 in. Every one likes Ethel on account of her charming personality and with her generous disposition she has won many friends during her four years at G. H. S. She is “crazy” about curls and ofttiines does she imp ' ore Pauline to “fix my hair in curls” but strange to say she doesn’t get cur ' s, but only twisted ends. Although Math, is her hardest subject she likes it best of all on account of her instructor. Page 2S MARY JOSEPHINE GRIMSLEY, Io. ‘ ‘ When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.” Age 18. Weight, 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 7 an. President to. Society, ’13; Treasur¬ er To. Society, ’12; Marshal, ’13; Spon¬ sor Athletic Association. ’13; Moni¬ tor Class, ’14; Glee Club. “Mary” as she is called by some and ‘‘Josie” by others is one of the best looking girls in G. H. S. and a more attractive one can nowhere be found. She wears a smile that vcon ' t come off ami with those dangerous flirting brown eyes of hers ‘he even makes Prof. W. A. H. Gantt smile at her dur¬ ing Chemistry; also she stays for ‘‘coach class” occasionally in the af¬ ternoon. When she knows a thing she knows she knows it and especially on Geometry and History. Mary was elected the most attractive girl in the class and she justly deserves the honor. ANNIE FRED FOUSHEE Io. ‘‘Music seemed to breathe from her very words.” Age 17. Weight, 135 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Critic Io. Society, ’12, ’14; Leader Rooters Club, ’13; Editor Reflector, ’14: Historian Class, ' 14; Historian Io. Society, ’13. ‘‘Lengthy” was too bashful to in¬ clude her own character sketch in her ‘‘Senior Editor” work, so let it be known that this was done by a friend. She is an excellent example of the old saying, ‘‘Let us work while we work,, and play while we play,” and illus¬ trates the first part in class and the latter in study period. Her two most noted characteristics are her ability to compose and the ease with which she can ‘‘get around” the teachers,, especially at recess. H a£e 26 MARGARETTE LUCILE JACKSON, Io, “Vanity get thee hence!” Age 17. Weight, 110 lbs. Height 5 ft., S in. Although she won’t acknowledge it, Margarette is one of the most con¬ ceited girls in the room, and any time one may look back at her she is primp¬ ing before a miniature mirror, (and this is especially noticeable before Mr. Gantt comes in.) She can work Ge¬ ometry like a graduate and it is posi¬ tively ' against her principles to show -any one else how to work it. LOLA MAIE HOLLAND, McN. “How sweet and fair she seems to be.” Age 18. Weight, 100 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 2 in. President McN. Society, ’14; Art Editor Reflector, ’14. Lola Maie is certainly the artist of the class, and many good contributions has she made to the Sage and Reflector during her four years at G. H. S. She has big brown eyes and rosy checks, and she uses them to perfection during English and Chemistry periods. Some¬ times she is stubborn and especially when she is called on for a Geometry proposition that she is not sure of. Pa4e 27 MARGARET LOUISA JUSTICE, McN. “There’s many a black, black eye they say, but none so black as mine.” Age 18. Weight, 115 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 6in. President McN. Society, ’13; Mar¬ sh?!, ’13; Secretary McN. Society, ’It, ’13. No title ever fitted one better than flirt for Margaret. Her whole make¬ up and outward appearance is of that type, but inwardly no more attractive, sweeter and conscientious girl ever lived. Margaret doesn’t mind saying exactly what she thinks, consequently this has gotten her into trouble more than once. Truly she is the sfar of the class on History, and when she once begins to recite she wants to tell the whole lesson. WILLIAM SYLVESTER JOHNSON, Di. ‘ 1 Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness, ’ ’ Age 18. W eight, 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Triangular Debater, ’13; President Di. Society, ’14; Orator, ’14; Glee Club; Vice-President Di. Society, ’13; Editor Reflector, ’13, ’14; Press Re¬ porter Athletic Association, ’14; Edi¬ tor Sage, ’14; Triangular Debater, ’14. The orator of the class comes for¬ ward with his brilliant eloquence and many a hearer has he convinced to his way of thinking. William is good looking, but conceit is written indeli¬ bly upon his countenance. He argues on Geometry and wastes many a min¬ ute arguing prop ' s that have already been explained. He writes a good fist and has piloted the Sage through a successful year as business manager. l aiie 2S ESTHER KIRKPATRICK, lo. “A day in June could no fairer be.” Age 17. Weight, 115 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 3 in. Esther deserves more credit than any other girl in our class, because every morning, rain or shine, she rides in to school, three miles on horseback. She is a demure little creature, but full of fun and has one of the most lovable dispositions of any girl in the room. She asserts her rights when ii is necessary and especially when a window is raised near her. PAULINE DuBRUTZ JUSTICE, Io. “To know her is to love her. ” Age 16. Weight, 113 lbs. Height, 5 ft. 5 in. Vice-President Io. Society, ’13; Sec¬ retary lo. Society, U2, ? 13; Marshal, ”13; Editor Sage, ’14 ; Editor Reflec¬ tor, , 13, ’14; Secretary and Treasurer Class, ’14; Reader of Last Will and Testament of Class, , 14. Justice takes the prize when it comes to being the most attractive and pop¬ ular member of the class, and speak¬ ing of using eyes effectively! She can roll them up to the skies and look as if she is going to die on Geometry class, and then again she can be very demure and coy when a certain young “gent” across the room looks at her. Determ¬ ination is a part of her and if she wants to do a thing she is not going to stop until she does it. Taking her all for all she “is one of the girls” and has numerous friends. Page IDA MAY MARRS, McN. •“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.’’ Age 18. Weight, 118 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 4 in. Ida May talks like a Yankee, but it is quite an insult to her to call her such, and she is very proud of the fact that the Southland is her home. She gets into great arguments and says ex¬ actly what she thinks to all her teach¬ ers and especially to Mr. “Latin’’ Williams. Oft times her tongue gets her into trouble. Study fills up all her time and therefore she gets good marks. ELBERT FRANCIS LEWIS, Phi. “How pretty his blushing was and how he blushed again.’’ Age 16. Weight. 130 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Vice-President Class, ’14; President Phi. Society, ’14; Secretary Phi. Socie¬ ty, ’13; Censor Phi. Society, ’12; Base¬ ball ’13; Secretary and Treasurer Ath¬ letic Association, ’14; Marshal, ’13; Ed- itor-in-Chief Sage, ’14; Editor Reflector. ’14; Second Censor Phi. Society, ’14; Commencement Debater, ’14. If Elbert wouldn’t blush so easily and cut his keen brown eyes around so quickly the other way when a girl looks at him, he would be the most sought after young man in G. II. S. His one important duty is to ring the gong anil many appealing glances does he get to ring it a minute sooner on Geometry class, which he seldom does. The two studies he is especially fond (t) of are Geometry and Chemis¬ try, and he makes excellent marks on them. Piiie .‘JO FRANK ASHTON PRITCHETT, Di. “Wisdom, beauty, health, what more could a man desire?” Age 16. Weight, 110 lbs. He : ght, 5 ft, 3 in. Di. Society, Commencement Debater, ’14. Frank is a very necessary and valu¬ able addition to our class, especially as a subject of good natured ridicule. He is the smallest boy in the class physi- ealjdv, but mentally he is indeed great. A born orator is he and although hard work gets it, he is very entertaining with his oratorical line of talk. When Frank is thinking very hard he has rather a peculiar look on his face and often his c’assmates go into paroxi- vsms of mirth over it. But taking him all for all, he is bright in his books and gets fair marks, even if he is not so beautiful to behold. MATTIE ESTELLE PORTER, Io. “How poor are they that have not patience. ’ ’ Age 19. Weight, 105 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 2 in. Estelle is the most quiet girl in the class and ery seldom says anything but she has a very decided opinion of her own, and it takes “all the king’s horses and all the king’s men” to make her change her ideas. She is of a very nervous temperament and some¬ times when she knows a thing she won’t recite on it because she is so easily embarrassed. Stubborness is her one word. I’llSe 1 L (VI.Wou’ GURNEY BIRDSALL REECE, Phi. “He stood firm at his post.’’ Age 18. Weight, 148 lbs. Height 5 ft., 9 in. Vice-President Phi. Society, ’13; Second Censor Phi., ’14; Football, ’13. Gurney has the benevolent gift of making friends where’er he goes and is a decided favorite with the G. H. S. faculty as well as pupils. Truly he is a football star and with his manly strength and ruddy cheeks more than once he has gained a victory. When Gurney recites on History he takes up the whole period telling one little thing and if he is asked to read!—good-bye to the recitation period. He never says much, but when he does say any¬ thing it is always full of wit and humor. FLORINE ELMA RAWLINS, To. “Brevity is the soul of wit.” Age 18. Weight, 113 lbs. Height, 5 ft.., 7 in. President I o. Society, ’14; Exchange Editor Sage ’14; Literary Editor Re¬ flector. ’14; Class Poet, ’14; Glee Club, ’13. Truly she is the spokesman of the class and well does she deserve the title. Perhaps some of her sarcasm and witty remarks can be attributed to the fact that she is topped by a crown of golden red hair. Her carri¬ age and manner is that of a modern suffragette and Gen. Rosalie Jones will soon have a dangerous rival. Forget¬ ting her dignity and haughty manner she has a generous, amiable disposition and is one of the most attractive girls in G. H. S. Page 32 MARGARET ALMA RIGHTSELL, McN. “I build my soul a lordly pleasure house wherein at ease for aye to dwell. ’ ’ Age 16. Weight, 120 lbs. Height, 5 ft.., 6 in. Critic McN. Society, ’12, ’13; Vice- President McN. Society, ’13; Glee Club, ’13. Alma has a lovable disposition and hence her popularity at G. H. S. Al¬ though she doesn’t talk but very little and always gets a hundred on deport¬ ment, it seems as if Mr. Gantt re¬ proves her (very gently) several times each lesson. But still the Coach Class has not fallen to her lot yet. She is “mighty” fond of both Guilford and High Point, but I wonder who sees those sweet little glances that she gives the “two front seats” when she comes into the room? NELLIE RUTH RICHMOND, Io. “Contentment is a pearl of price.” Age 18. Weight, 135 lbs. Height, 5 ft,, 6 in. Vice-President Io. Society, ’14. Nellie wears a U. Va. pin and won’t tell whose it is. In the business course she shines brilliantly and, it is her destiny to become a famous business woman some day. She has rosy cheeks and big brown eyes and many a heart has she made go “pit-a-pat” when she smiles that smile that won’t come off. Pa fie 33 BEN BRYAN STOCKARD, Phi. “In the bright lexicon of youth, there is no such word as fail.’’ Age 17. Weight, 164 lbs. • Height, 5 ft., 9 in. Second Censor Phi. Society, ’13; Vice-President Phi. Society, ’14. Ben’s middle name is “Geometry’’ and he is truly the star of the class on that subject. Besides being able to prove the hardest prop’s, he makes all kinds of compasses. etc. fOr the class, and is Miss Howard’s special pride and joy. He has a decided talent for art, and many useful as well as beautiful contributions has he made for both the Reflector and the Sage. The honor of being the most popular boy in the class fell to him. WILLIAM SIMPSON, Pi. “He who sayeth little, thinketh much. ' ’ Age 17. Weight. 120 lbs. Height, !5 ft., 8 in. Pi Society. “Simp’’ has the honor among the- girls of being the best looking boy in the class, although this honor was con¬ ferred by the class upon R. Perry. He is not the least bit bashful as was readily shown in a recent tableau when he took the part of a groom wonder¬ fully well. The young laches talk to him incessantly and he often has to- stay for Coach Class. I‘n4e 34 4 ‘ The man who blushes is not yet a brute.’ ’ Age IS. Weight, 140 lbs. Height, 5 ft, 10 in. Second Censor Di. Society, ' 12; Sec¬ retary Di. Society, ’13; First Censor, ’13. William has the distinction of being the most dignified senior and also pos¬ sesses the most vivid blushes imagin¬ able. He uses these on all occasions and when the fair damsels in Room 1 cast their glances upon him, he uses them very successfully, thus warding off all approaches of the fair sex. He is very quiet and always gets good marks, especially on History. JENNIE SCALES VANSTORY, Io. “A daughter of the gods divinely tall and fair.” Age 17. Weight, 128 lbs. Height, 5 ft., 8 in. The quotation describes her exactly and with her wonderful head of gold¬ en hair and fair blue eyes, she is one of the most attractive girls at G. H. S. History is her long suit and the way she gets up and spiels it off is amazing. Chapel Hill has always interested her very much and she still has a leaning that way. Sometimes she can be very dignified ami sarcastic, but most of the time she has a lovely, amiable dispo¬ sition.

Class Song _ Florine Rawlins Page 37 Class History Taking a retrospective glance over the years intervening since 1903, I recall to mind a happy body of girls and boys wending their way towards the Lindsay Street School. Among the throng I see the Class of 1914 as they climb the steps to he greeted by the various teachers, little dreaming what was in store for them or what was the true meaning of school. During our first year, we could never get to school fast enough, although there were times when we loitered along the way playing various games. After we had learned to write our names legibly, even if the letters were rather wobbly, and had mastered those dreadful foes, the multiplica¬ tion tables, we thought we had indeed learned everything there was to know, but as the years passed, other studies were added to our work and geography and grammar were given to work out their puzzles. How valiantly we strived to master “Hiawatha” and finally the glorious day came, when we recited and gave the gestures before the whole school. That was one red-letter day in our grammar school career, and we felt the actual being of “Old Nakomis” and “Hiawatha” being sung to sleep by the tall pine trees. As I glance hack over these happy years my mind is crowded with memories of my comrades and teachers. I recall the untiring patience of our superiors as they drummed reading, writing and arithmetic into our heads, and how they were never too tired to teach us how to play new games or to make funny little houses out of picks and many things on the sand table. Of all our grammar school career the seventh grade was the most difficult, but at the end of the year, nearly all of us were promoted to the ninth grade, instead of the eighth. In the fall of 1910, one of the largest bodies of boys and girls that had ever entered the High School assembled in the old chapel of Lindsay Street School and when the assignments to the rooms were made it was found that four rooms would he necessary for the Juniors, as we were called then. That year our only ambition seemed to he pleasure, and the old maxim “pleasure before duty” certainly reigned supreme. Perhaps I’ajfce 38 we did not put forth our best efforts that year, as our grades showed, yet the High School had the honor of having the best football and baseball teams that they ever had, and several of its members came from our ranks. We soon learned that “Study” must be our motto if we hoped to gain any ■ distinction and that school life was a stern reality and not a dream. When the time came for promotion a number of us were fortunate enough to be passed up, while others were left to struggle again through the Junior Grade; so at the opening of the following year two rooms were quite enough for our number. By this time we had it stamped more forcibly upon our minds that it was very necessary to make good. Hence we entered upon the year 1911 with renewed energy. Bi-Monthlies came and went, and with them went a few of the members of our class, but when the final reports were given out, nearly all made- the Intermediate or Tenth Grade successfully. During our second stay in the Junior Grade we met many new foes, hut among the deadliest were Latin and Algebra. With some they were fatal, and doctors cer¬ tificates were needed to revive them. When the school re-opened in September, there were thirty-five of us ready to meet the trials and tribulations of the Intermediate Grade, and with the help of several new efficient teachers the battles were easily won and we were piloted through the year safely. During that year the annual reception was given to the Seniors and with the good time that they had, made us look forward to the time when we should be the honorees. At the opening of the fall term, 1913, as we filed into the Senior room and took our places we found that out of the large class we had the previous year, only twenty-nine were to he with us our last year. There have been many times when it was hard to believe that “behind the clouds the sun was shining”, yet this evening finds us with renewed energy and greater determination to reach the goal that is just ahead. Then let us “So live, that when the summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” Page 3! L M HaL l ' OratticD)]ni“” ee Na1tioinia! ILJiiiFesIt William Johnson. WO thousand years ago in the City of Rome before an im¬ mense gathering of people there was asked this question: “Ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it that ye do not discern this time?” Today this question can he asked again with all the force with which it was demanded in that ancient time. “Ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, hut how is it that ye do not discern thi s time?” In order that we may have a plainer vision of this living age, let your thoughts ascend with me up into the azure skies, and there we will rest upon that large white cloud. For a moment the blazing suns are around us; for a moment the wheeling of planets—then come eternities of twilight; then again on the right hand and on the left appear other constellations. At length there opens before us a wonderful scene, revealing all the strange and peculiar things on the face of the earth. We see below a land— this nation of America, whose name makes your heart thrill and your blood rise. There is a sweeping and a startling view of this most important por¬ tion of the western world. You look downward in amazement on prosperity; immense buildings; large and beautiful cities: well cultivated fields; a mag¬ nificent array of battleships, lying in peaceful harbors; great vessels loaded with the exchange merchandise of nations; and still greater numbers on whose decks can be plainly seen restlessly stirring about a host of persons bearing America’s culture and refinement. And still you gaze with open eyes as this picture with all its immensity portraying the great discontent and unrest of our people is in an instant laid before you. But while these contemplations occupy your thought, there is an angel draped in snow white garments whispering at your back. ' Tis a beautiful sight to behold, but how blindly they rush onward. I’age 40 Man doesn’t appreciate this creation; he has made an age of discontent has filled the pure air with an intoxicating element of unrest; he is desper¬ ately seeking the joys, the happiness, the pleasures, and not the meaning of life. How truthfully hath spoken that angel. She shudders and departs when this is asked: “Is there to he an end of this mad rush; of this greatest and longest period of unrest and unsettled conditions the world has ever known V r If so—when ? We find society is not what it was twenty years ago; politics have changed; industry has undergone a great transformation, and with these changes there have come equally great changes in our American people, whose souls seem to have acquired as restless a spirit as their untiring brains. They have huge problems to solve; strenuous burdens to carry. The poorer classes are weighted down with huge burdens; the wealthy have theirs; our states are in the midst of great political and social crises; the whole nation is carrying tremendous burdens; humanity is in sore need of a quiet, peaceful pei’iod. Yet we do not combat the common foe, but play on in this terrible game of restless speed. Into this game our men and women endowed with splendid gifts of reason, imagination and physi¬ cal power, walk forth in a gay spirit of conquest for riches and they are everywhere gambling away their highest birthrights and their real function in life for the glittering attraction of gold. This insidious poison has silently crept into all of our great institutions; in government; in religion; in busi¬ ness and in society. Everything is tainted with this new and invigorating spirit. You say we are free, but we are not free. Poverty speaks to us of slavery and drudgery; we shudder at the thought, and struggle from its grasp; that’s caused this mad rushing for gain; the chains of uneasiness are locked about the necks of our American people. But what has caused this ‘ 1 National Unrest ’ ’ ? you ask. The chief causes are Democratic tendencies; for unrest and agitation are offsprings of de¬ mocracy. Wealth and prosperity. Inventions and discoveries. A craving for novelty and pleasure. Cheap music and song, and Socialistic ideas. The tendency of all this is toward a general sex strike, and toward a division of society into distinct castes. Unsuspectingly we are travel¬ ing with great rapidity to a state of perpetual excitement; an unreasonable craving for novelty and pleasure and on to nervous instability. America is the country of the young, but under the strains of present Tjijie conditions they are growing old and exhausted long before their time. Tn the popular mind the desire for publicity and show is taking precedence over everything else. And the alarming thing about this state of affairs is that for the vast majority of American citizens this unrest does not exist in a craving for the best of literature, music, painting, sculpture, art, home¬ making, and all the other things that go toward ennobling and embellishing the life of cultured and refined individuals. That these conditions, existing today, need mending, is generally con¬ ceded. There is a general remedy for them. Our governments need reform¬ ing to meet these new and strange conditions; our churches need to exert more influence; our educational institutions need strengthening; our people need real, not imaginative freedom from the old bondage where wealth is master; society needs to be halted from its restless course and treated for its many diseases; and now :n the end there comes a call for peace between nations. Let us not forget and neglect Ihe foundation upon which we stand, and as we build openly, let us also bui ' d inside the magnificent structure of American manhood and womanhood. All the world in admiration is looking upon us; we are the natural leaders; our influence as a nation is felt and respected by countries and kings. It is time each one realizes his influence in quieting the restlessness of this age, and in further setting up this—your country—as an everlasting ideal and model for men and nations of the universe. “The bud quivers today. The rose will open tomorrow.’’ And when it has opened and each petal catches the transmitted light and sends it interpreted in soft various hues, may it be such a one as shall make the world and especially our nation nobler and grander by means of its perfume and beauty rare. So “Rise for the day is passing, And you lie dreaming on, The others have buckled their armor, And forth to the fight have gone, A place in the ranks awaits you, Each one has some part to play, The Past and the Future are looking On us and this quivering day.” I’nii- ie Florine Rawlins, ’14 Four years have caused us but to learn To love this as our home; But now the upward path must turn, The time to part has come. ’Mid rays of hope and clouds of fear. With never-failing strength. We’ve labored with good wall and cheer To reach the end at length. What wonder then, when we must part, It causes grief or pain; For pleasures gladdening to the heart, May ne’er be ours again. Our hopes, our aims are high, ’tis true, But all because of those Whom we have loved the four years through And will until life’s close. We’ve only reached the first mile stone, That leads us to success, There’s now no fear to run the race With a God-speed from G. IT. S. As time its magic coils entwine Around us as we go, E ’en when the star of triumph shines, ’Twas they that made us so. Each year must bring us something new, Until at last we claim The heights whereon we can but do Things worthy of thy name. Page 43 I boarded the steamship “Tmperator” for England. Seeing the captain pacing up and down the bridge, I went forward in order that I might, in¬ troduce myself arid become better acquainted. To my surprise he was no other than my old classmate Ben Stockard. “How are you, old boy?” I asked, shaking hands. “Feeling good, feeling good”, was the long drawn out reply. Just then the gong for lunch sounded and bidding Ben a hasty good¬ bye I started for the dining room, where I ordered a small size meal and pa¬ tiently waited for its arrival. When it came, there was hardly room on the table for half what I ordered. The appetite of the gentlemen sitting across the table must have been affected by the salt air, for he had ordered every¬ thing on the bill of fare. Looking closer I saw that the gentleman was Woodrow Clark. Although he had changed greatly in appearance, still I recognized him by his hair, which pointed in every direction of the compass. Then I spoke. “Hello, Woodie, what are you trying to do, eat up the ship?” “No,” he said, “but let me introduce you to my wife, Mrs. Ida May •Clark.” “Very glad to meet you,” I said, then we all laughed. After lunch we went into the main saloon. “What has become of Roland McClamroch, Ethel Cox, Margaret Jus¬ tice, Flossie Denny, and the rest of the class?” Ida May asked. “0, Roland went to college for two years, then he married Ethel Cox, and now they are working together their little fifty acre farm north of •Greensboro. As for Margaret Justice, although she has been married twice .and divorced twice, she has not yet received a royal title. They say that neither of her husbands could out talk her. And Flossie, she is sole proprie¬ tress of a boarding house in Greensboro, and boasts that no boarder has ever left without paying his bill.” How about Annie Fred and Lola Male?” asked Woodie. “Annie Fred has the distinction of having married a man taller 44 than she. He is six feet, five. Lola Maie is still cutting out paper dolls and drawing pictures of little girls and boys, in hope that she may some time acquire the fame of Michael Angelo. They say-” just then there was a noise as something fell to the deck and broke. A second later the air was rent by a baby whose crying was pitched to the highest octave. I went out on the deck and saw that Frank Pritchett was having a des¬ perate encounter with a male blue bird, and dropped his baby’s bottle of milk, and was now doing everything in his power to quiet little Frank, Jr. Finally the baby ceased his crying, and 1 asked Frank to come on the inside. I knew his wife was asleep in her stateroom because I could hear her snoring. “Such is life,” said Frank, but where is Esther Clapp, Gurney Reece and Pauline Justice?” “The last time that 1 saw Esther she was training to be a missionary, and said that she had selected as her field of work the Philippine Islands. Gurney’s ambition reached the sky. He was the pilot of a Curtis byplane. 1 say ‘was’, because last year he fell and broke his arm. He sued the company and the resulting reaction was that the courts said he should have Justice. Since then Pauline whose arguments carry everything before them, has ab¬ solutely refused to let him make another flight.” “And Margaret Jackson, Estelle Porter and Leone Blanchard.” “Margaret and Estelle are unmarried, but they are patiently and hope¬ fully waiting for the time to come when they may shine and be successful as the other members of their class. Leone is now a tight rope walker and is with one of the greatest shows on earth.” Five days later we landed in England. The first person to greet me after I left the boat was Elbert Lewis. His career had been a happy one; the happiest part being when he married Mary Grimsley. He was one of the world’s famous natural scientists, and was now planning an expedition into the interior of Africa in hope of discovering a rare species of a potato bug. As we walked up the street Elbert said: “Bill, have you heard the latest?” “No, what is it?” I asked. “William Simpson and Jennie Vanstory have at last blended their hearts, and are now on their way around the world on their honeymoon.” Just then I saw a large crowd on the next corner, so bidding Elbert follow, I started forward on the run. With some pushing and a few apolo¬ gies, I reached the front rank. What do you think I saw? Four men were holding Florine Rawlins and trying to make her eat. Pankhurst had acci- Puge 45 dently died while on a hunger strike. Florine had taken up the work and was also on a hunger strike. She had stumped Kansas in favor of female suf¬ frage the year previous, but soon after returned to England. In the scuffle Florine had lost her false teeth; a search warrant was at once issued and Dr. Kate Brooks was sent for. “In answer to a question I asked him, Elbert said that there was a barber shop just across the street. He entered with me and I sat in the first chair. To make a long story short, the barber at this chair happened to be William Watson. Elbert and Mary left London the next day, so I, feeling lonesome de¬ cided to return home. I reached New York in due time, and learning that there was a good play on at the Winter Palace, I decided to go. My inform¬ ation was correct, for the show was the best I ever attended. But there seemed something familiar about the leading lady. I looked on my program and learned to my surprise that she was Miss Jennie Britton, of Greensboro, N. C. She had made a great hit, and as I soon learned, was the most talked of person in that city. After the show I went to a cafe for dinner. The waitress brought me a bill of fare and asked for my order. I thought that I recognized her voice, and I did, for it was Alma Rightsell’s. “Well, Alma, how in-”, but she was gone before I covdd add another word. 1 left the cafe and seeing a large crowd across the street went over to find out what was the trouble. In a few moments the police patrol ar¬ rived, and one of the officers, Nellie Richmond, taking a man by the arm said, “Come with me.” “Nellie,” I said, “What are you doing up here? Why did you leave home ? ’ ’ “You need not worry about iny home,” said Nellie; “it’s all right. My husband, Hilton West, is taking care of things. You know i had one year the start of him, and it’s his place to stay at home. If he doesn’t h ive things in good order when I return T will make a dent in the rolling pin, never you fear.” As I stepped from the train at Greensboro, I was handed a circular, which said, “Dr. Esther Kirkpatrick’s Private Sanitorium. Quick and sure cure for insane geometry pupils.” Oh, yes, and I forgot to say that William Johnson is editor of the world’s leading newspaper, “The Brown Summit Daily.” I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Oh, my head, how it ached. Page 1 L MHoli La§tt Will amd Testament We, the Senior Class of the Greensboro High School, in the year 1914, A. D., knowing the majority of our number to be sound in mind and body, and knowing the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death, do declare this to be our last will and testament. First —Be it known that on the condition that we do not need them ourselves next year, we bequeath to the coming seniors of 1915 the following: (1.) Room No. 1 of the High School. (2.) Mr. Warren as grade teacher—including his little talks, histrionic ability and five minute written lessons. (3.) To the girls of the class—the privilege of going over to the boy’s yard to buy ice-cream cones, and the brilliant knowledge of chemistry which we now possess. (4.) The extensive library of reference books, with the hope that they read and profit by it more than we did. (5.) The wish that they may, for one period of five minutes have the atmosphere of the room suited to everyone present. Second —To the different members of the Class of 1915, we bequeath such of our personal adornments and traits as we feel we have no use for in our future years: (1.) To Bryan McCullen we give the overwhelming conceit of Wil¬ liam Simpson, and the stirring oratorical powers of Franklin A. Pritchett. (2.) To Clarence Angel we give that part of William Johnson which has been designated as “too much”. (3.) The beacon light of Florine Rawlins and the steady flow of bright remarks which accompany it, we give to Kathryn Shaffer. (4.) The sweet and gentle smiles which attract Leone Blanchard to Frank Pritchett we bestow upon Hilton West, that he may pass them on to Connie Stout. (5.) The eloquent silence of William Watson and his good luck in avoiding being called on in class, we leave to whom we consider the most needy—Annie McDuffie. (6.) To William Bush we leave the bashful reticence of Flossie Denny. (7.) The “giggles” which have been handed down for several gener- tions in the High School, and are now in the possession of Mary Grimsley, we give Ellerbre Broadnax. (8.) Elbert Lewis’ privilege of ringing the gong, and his celebrated Hyomei inhaler, which we trust will not smell so strongly as time passes-by, we bequeath to John Walker. PaiSe 47 (9.) The frequent quarrels of Margaret Justice and Mr. Warren we leave to Margaret Armstrong. (10.) The remains of William Johnson’s straw cushion upon which he rested so uneasily, and the nightingale qualities of Annie Fred Foushee’s voice, we give to John McAlister. (11.) The would he lordly and dignified air of our president and his new shoes, we leave to Kemp Clend ' enin. (12.) The majestic height of Annie Fred Foushee and Jennie Van- story, we bestow upon Kirk Callum and Mary Rees. (13.) We leave a pleasant combination of Woodrow Clark’s extremely warm nature, and Margaret Justice’s extremely cold one to Mary Foust, and we hope that the happy union of these two will enable her to spend her days in peace and comfort. Third —To our faithful and much-loved teachers we bequeath the fol¬ lowing : (1.) To Mr. Warren we leave a spool of thread with which he may do his crochet work. (2.) To Mr. A. R. Williams we give Alma Rightsell’s little pony, Cicero, which strayed from her and was found in the ventilator. (3.) To Miss Sutton we leave twenty-nine volumes of Meyer’s Gen¬ eral History, which she can dispose of as first hand articles as they are un¬ dimmed by hard use. (4.) To Miss Howard we give our two board compasses, with the hope that they will torment other unfortunates as they have tormented the Class of 1914. (5.) To Miss Preyer the girls of the class leave their much-used powder puffs with the hope that she will not remove the mirror from the sideboard to prevent future toilet arrangements. (6.) To Prof. W. A. H. Gantt we leave a group picture of the Senior ( lass to replace the countenance that disappeared from his watch a week or two before Christmas. (7.) To Dr. Mann and Mr. Williams we give a fond farewell, after we get our diplomas. Fourth —To the whole body of the G. H. S. we leave our photograph to hang upon the wall of the chapel, and we hope that as they glance up at in future years, it will inspire them to follow nobly in our footsteps, and that they will remember us as always loyal and true to the Class of 1914, and to our dear old High School. In Witness whereof, we set our hand and seal, this the tenth day of April, 1914. Signed SENIOR CLASS OF 1914. Pate 48 Class §©mg Florine Rawlins, ’14 Now our High School days are o’er, And within its walls no more Will we strive ’mid hopes and fear the goal to win. For upon the sea of life We are tossed to meet new strife, And another eager race we will begin. Yet no matter where we roam, Still the happy thoughts will come Of the four bright years that passed away so fast; And as future years roll by, All the harder will we try To make the good that we have learned forever last Chorus Tho’ the G. H. S. we’re leaving, ’Tis with sad hearts and with grieving, For in years to come, we ne’er shall love thee less. What tho ’ we are far away ? Still with proud hearts we will say “We shall ne’er forget the dear old G. H. S.” This has been a happy band, As we’ve journeyed hand in hand, Till far behind we’ve left the hills of dark despair; Every lesson that’s been taught, Every battle that’s been fought. Has always helped to make the future bright and fair. Other friends may prove unkind, Yet faithful ones we’ll ever find ’Mid the throng that shared our joys at G. H. S. So to those we love so well, We now bid a fond farewell, And hope that each forthcoming year their lives will bless.

Tt was in this way that the Class of 1916 passed this year. First, they traveled over a swampy field, “Recita¬ tion,” and, in some places sank up to their waists in mud, “Written Lessons.” After having passed this awful field they came to a still more horrible place called the “Castle of the Giant Despair,” more commonly called, “Bi-Monthlies.” Their journey continued through similar places for nearly three- fourths of the way, with the exception of one delightful resting place, “Christmas Vacation.” At this place they rested themselves well, in order that they might he able to pass through the end of the session more easily. Towards the end of the session the dreaded test came when each one must decide for himself which path he would take up the mountain of ‘ ‘ Finals.’-’ Now on the other side of this mountain, there was another peaceful place for those who crossed it by the right path. The feeling of sisterly love prevailed very strongly among the girls of the class so they took the right way. Of course, the boys went the same way and they all came to the place where they might rest, for if they wished to be like the pilgrims they must travel over two more roads to reach the end of their journey and “that which they most desired.” We are now about fifty strong and we trust our class will be the larg¬ est in the history of old G. II. S.. and as we go along our journey may we have the faith of “Christian,” who jourreyed to the Promised L.rnd.

McClamroch, ’14 S he slowly wound h’s way down the narrow Roman street the young Thracian was suddenly aroused from his pen¬ sive thoughts by the blast of trumpets. Looking up he was surprised and then somewhat pleased to see the Emperor and his train approaching him—surprised, for it was a rare occurrence for the haughty Nero to visit this part of the city, and pleased, for he was always glad to look upon this man in whose hand lay the power to make his highest ambition a reality. Renan Aelo, for that was the young Thracian’s name, was the son of a Thracian freedman who had gained his liberty by skill in the arena in years past. Renan, the elder, was now an old man, and his gladiatorial days were a thing of the past, a credit of any fighter, but he now spent all of his time in transmitting his skill and knowledge to his twenty year old son. Renan had been trained since childhood and the perfection of a gladiator had been reached in his strong barbarian body. Practicing daily, he waited until he should reach the zenith of his desires to fight for Nero, or to be the “Emperor’s Choice,’’ for it was the custom at this lime for the Emperor to choose his favorite gladiator at each gr at game. Successively for four years the coveted honor had been held by a giant Lydian, and in his daily call to the gods Renan implored that he might have an opportunity to display his abilities against the Lydian, but it seemed that the fates themselves were working against him, for he had been present at the last three games and he was always passed on ac¬ count of his youthfulness. But the grandest event of all was to be held PajJe � 4 L M HoiJ in five days, commemorating the Roman victories in the East. Then, per¬ haps, he would get a chance, but he did not dare to think of his being the “Emperor’s Choice”, for had not the gods struck down his friend, Vero’s father, who dared to remark against the sanctity of the mighty Caesar. That night while he and his father were slowly eating their none too voluptuous repast he gazed with sadness at the tired look on his only parent’s face and refrained with difficulty from weeping when he thought that perhaps his father might not see him the hero of the Roman gladiators. But this feeling soon vanished when later he was obeying the repeated directions of his parent-instructor, who watched his son’s movements with an over-critical eye. Three days passed and it was with a rapidly beating heart that Renan took his apparel and weapons to the great stadium on the fourth day. He spent the day here and was somewhat surprised to emerge from his jov- ousness and find that the night was upon him ere he had traversed half his homeward journey. His springing steps, however, soon brought him to his father’s cottage, but here he was greeted with silence instead of the encouraging presence of his parent. Thinking that his father would soon return he fell asleep in anticipation of the morrow; yet he was not a little concerned to wake the next morning to find his parent still gone, but after considering he decided that this was not strange for he often visited an old friend across the Tiber. Nevertheless this was the day of the great game, would his father miss this? Pondering thoughts like these as he walked, Renan soon reached the enormous theater, which was already partially filled since the first combat between a score of Christian and a half a dozen lions was to begin at the fourth hour. It was two hours later that the interesting part of the program was to begin, that is, the gladiatorial struggles. Entering the small space set aside for the extra gladiators, Renan was considerably chagrined to learn that the Lydian, the Emperor’s favor¬ ite was not present, since he had been seriously crippled in a drunken brawl the night before. This, with the late arrival of the Emperor, delayed affairs and it was necessary for a new favorite to be chosen. After carefully surveying for some time the drawn up gladiators, Nero suddenly pointed at Renan and cried, “Let the boy fight for me. I am tired of gazing upon his confident countenance at every game.” Im¬ mediately the low murmuring of the people was heard that such a sacrifice should be made, and Nero flushed hotly, but this only aroused his obdurate Pa lie 60 obstinacy, so Renan stepped or rather sailed forward. What! The Era- perior ' s Choice? Could he have heard and seen aright? Yes, it must be for his comrades are slapping him, and congratulating him in their own way. Immediately after bis mind was cleared from the first rush of thoughts, the foremost one which came to Renan was who was he to fight. Oh! that must be bis opponent entering the other side of the arena. But why does he falter? Approaching nearer, he staggers as if about to fall when he catches sight of Renan’s face. But quickly recovering him¬ self he comes forward and crosses the sword of Renan with his own weapon. The fight is on. Oh, his father had taught him to thwart that very move, but there, his opponent comes back strong and the Thracian youth realizes that he is facing a formidable antagonist. The fight still rages. First one and then the other gives, then—surely his opponent is weakening, his thrusts are feeble and his guard is opening. The end is near. With a final feint and thrust, Renan fells his opponent amidst the wild applause of the spectators. But hark, what does he hear? There it is again—and listening, Renan hears the feeble words, “My son,” issue from the helmet of the man lying at his feet. Kneeling, he quickly turns back tbe helmet and gazes horror stricken at the sad face of his father, who in his dying hour praises him for tbe honor he has received that day and then tells him how he, unaware who he was to fight, had been forced into the ring by Nero’s soldiers who took him from his house the day before. But Renan, his face drawn, hears not, as the words fall feebler and feebler and finally fail as the venerable head droops over in answer to death ' s call. 1 hen suddenly grasping his father’s sword he leaps up like a mad man, and with a curse against the Romans, drives the sharp blade with all his concen¬ trated strength through his body and with his face toward his far-off native land falls across the body of his father. HU My First L©ve Florine Rawlins, ’14 Oft I think of the days when so happy were we, But the happiness drifted too fast. For the time when your presence brought gladness to me Is now in the dead, dead past. Twas a fancy of youth, and what joy it did bring, As long as the fancy did last: To caress your soft (?) head as you and I would cling Biit oh, they are joys of the past. In none but thine ears did I whisper my love, Altho’ it was never asked But now as on wings of a swift fleeting dove You have fled to the days of the past. Oh where are you now, my joy and pride, To what regions have you been cast ? How I long for the comfort, that once you did bring; My cherished rag doll of the past! Huge 6T The Tragedy of tine ee §paiii§li Villa” Adelaide Van Noppen, ’15. IIE sun was just sinking behind the hills, setting the neigh¬ boring peaks aglow with the fire of its last beams, as a mes¬ senger boy from the village of Fanfare trudged wearily along the road which lead to the “Spanish Villa.” “I don’t believe there is such a place or such a person,” thought the boy as he looked at the envelope on which was written in bold writing: “Senor Pedro Michaela,” “Spanish Villa,” “Fanfare, N. C., U. S. A. and the postmark was from Spain. Certainly very few people knew any¬ thing about such a place, and it was only after a good deal of inquiring that he had been directed to this road. As he walked along thoughtfully between the rhoderdendron hushes, the road suddenly curved to the right and he found himself within the por¬ tals of the Spanish Villa. On one side of the road was a little square tiled lodge, and opposite it was a brick pillar from which hung a gate. As far as he could see down the winding walk were neat borders of hedges from which terraces extended down to a series of lakes. On he walked until from behind the trees the villa came into view. It was undoubtedly the queerest house the hoy had ever seen. The architecture was old Spanish and the building was painted gray with orange trimmings. Windows of various sizes were peeping out on every side, and tiny porticoes jutted out in the most unexpected places. On the front was a moderate sized piazza with a queerly carved railing, and di¬ rectly above the porch was a large clock, one hand was gone, but the face uas still there, and behind it n r as a large bell. The messenger boy turned Pii4« 08 from these wonders and looked out over the large lake which was in front of the house. In the center of the lake was a little fountain which sent crystal streams of water into the air, only to come splashing down in the water again. At the end of the pool was a little Japanese pagoda covered will blossoming wisteria. Among the vines he saw a couple, talking and laughing. When his curiosity was partially satisfied, he ascended the long flight of steps and knocked the big brass knocker on the door. A little old woman with piercing black eyes opened the door. She looked at the boy sharply for a moment, during which speech utterly forsook him. Then, suddenly seeing the letter in his hand, she seized it and with a little cry sank into a chair on the porch and broke the seal. The boy, not knowing what else to do, .shuffled down the steps and trudged back along the winding road. Signora Suzzana Michaela broke open the letter with trembling hands, and hurriedly perused its contents. “To think,” she murmured sadly, “that he waited for this all his days, and now, after he has only been in the ground six months, it comes. No, I shan’t let Carlos know T anything about it for he would want to go, and in the condition that Spain is in now T he might never return. For Margaret’s sake I ' ll keep it a secret.” Her face softened and a dreamy look crept into her eyes. She saw again the beauti¬ ful estate in Spain which she anti her husband had left so many years before. Her hands dropped limply into her lap and the letter fell unheeded to the floor. How long she remained in this reverie she did not know, but she was suddenly aroused by her son and his young bride coming up the steps. She immediately thought of the letter and reached for it, but her sou’s bright eyes had spied it first. With a shout he sprang to her side, grabbed the letter and began to read. ‘‘Oh, Mother!” he cried. ‘‘To think that at last it has come. Now you and Margaret shall be real princesses. Oh, such luck!” He turned impetuously to his young wife who stood by, bewildered. “What does it mean, Carlos? You aren’t going away, are you?” she asked, her face clouding over. “Sure, I’m going to Spain,” Carlos answered joyously. “The political party which drove Father from there has now T been defeated and a kins¬ man of ours is on the throne. He says to come back and we shall have honor, wealth, social standing and you shall be treated like a queen, darling,” he added kissing her. I ii ?} Even this did not cheer her up for she said sadly, “Oh, Carlos, we are very happy here. Let us stay and he always with one another. I’m sure I’ll not see as much of you in Spain as I do here. Don’t go.” She laid a little hand gently on his arm and there was an appealing expression in her large eyes. “Dear if 1 thought you knew what you were talking about I might he persuaded to stay” he said more seriously, but then added hurriedly. “But you’ll have everything you want, and you’ll just love it, won’t she Mother?” The mother addressed looked sadly at her son. “Son,” she said, “I have a foreboding that no good will come of this. Margaret needs you here. Stay and he content.” “And give up such a chance? No. never.” He set his jaw determined¬ ly. “The letter said to come as quickly as possible, so I ’ll go and pack now. Want to help me, Margaret?” “You aren’t going off to Spain and leave us, are you?” asked Mar¬ garet helplessly. “Why, dear, 1 ’m just going over to arrange things and then I’ll come hack for you and Mother. It’ll take only a few weeks and then we shall he there altogether in Spain,” he said, his eyes shining. “Mother, can we do nothing to stop him?” asked the girl feebly. “The will of the Lord he done,” said Signora Suzzana resignedly, and Margaret walked slowly into the house. All too soon came the afternoon of the next day. There were so many things to he done. So many things to be packed, and so many things to he said. At last the sun was sinking in the west and a servant came around leading a saddled horse. Carlos came out on the porch looking handsome hut sail; Margaret pale and tearful clung to his arm, and his mother fol¬ lowed close behind. “Now I’ll he hack for you both very soon,” Carlos said to them, “And you must he sure and remain here. Don t let anyone lure you away,” he said pleadingly. “Some who wish our ruin may report me as dead,” his eyes grew serious and tender, “But never, never leave. Promise me that, won’t you, dear.” Margaret saw his serious, tense face, and looking him steadily in the eyes she said, ‘ ‘ I promise. ’ ’ Carlos tenderly embraced his mother, and then he and Margaret de¬ scended the steps. He took the horse’s bridle and the two slowly walked down the winding shady walk, while Signora watched the pair with rending heart, for none knew better than she the chances. Uaiie 70 At the old gate the couple stopped and Carlos took his young wife in his arms. ‘ ' I ' ll write soon, dearest, and then Prince Carlos will come hack to the Spanish Villa to get Princess Margaret,” lie said half playfully. They both turned and looked back at the Villa whose roof the setting sun was gilding. Margaret’s eyes rested on the old bell above the clock. “Carlos,” she said solemnly, when you return you shall find me wait¬ ing here for you, and until then, as a sign of my unfailing love, Carlos, every evening as the sun is setting [ shall ring that old bell-Adios, and she turned and tied. lie watched the fleeing little figure in white until it was lost to view behind the rhoderdendron bushes. Misgivings clutched at his heart, but he turned his face resolutely towards the west—the Land of the Setting Sun— and, like Hiawatha, vanished on the purple wings of evening to the land of the Hereafter. The passing days lengthened into weeks and each hour seemed an age to the anxious waiting hearts at the “Spanish Villa.” Every morning with a heart full of hope Margaret walked to the village and inquired for mail, but every evening as the sun set, with a heavy heart she tolled the old bell, and the sympathetic people of the village heard the sound and said, “She is faithful.” The warm days of summer and autumn fled and with the cold weather. Signora grew feebler and feebler until she sank into that sleep from which no cares could ever awaken her troubled soul. One spring afternoon as Margaret sat alone in the little pagoda, looking out with sad and dreamy eyes upon days that were passed, a young Spanish cavalier rode up. Margaret started from her reverie with a shock which sent the blood pounding in her veins. Had Carlos at last come back for her? She rushed down the walk to meet him but one close glance showed him to be a stranger. Her heart seemed to cease to beat and she grew strangely weak and cold. She sank weakly down on the terrace by the road as the stranger alighted with a flourish. “Have I the honor of addressing Signora Margaret Miehaela?” he asked courteously. At her feeble assent he proceeded to tell her that her husband had been murdered by some conspirators shortly after his landing in Spain ; that his body had been found and in his pocket was a request if he should be killed some one should acquaint his wife of the fact. Signora,” he con¬ cluded, “If you will come with me to Spain you shall be taken care of.” A faint smile played around Margaret ' s lips, for she seemed to again Pa lie 7 I hear Carlos saying earnestly, “Some who wish our ruin may report me as dead, but never, never leave this place,” and she had promised. She rose slowly to her feet and looked at him sadly. “Thank you for your message,” she said with dignity, “But I shall remain here.” Margaret watched the gay figure as he rode down the winding lane, as her beloved had ridden so many months before—and the sun was setting in the west. At length, weary in soul and body, she walked sadly to the house. Soon from the walls of the Villa the old bell “tolled the knell of parting day,” and the sympathetic people in the village heard the sound and murmured, “She is faithful.” Upon realization of the embarrassing situation which we are placed in on examination we often have an inclination to steal information from the hook of “education.” But after careful consideration of the degradation we are placed in on accusation we resist the temptation and save our reputation that we may have in the nation.

Since its organization, the purpose of the society has been three-fold; first, the training of the members in the art of debating; second, to triumph over our rivals in the forensic world; third, to create school spirit and promote better friendship among the boys. Our purpose has been accomplished in three ways: first, we have done our best toward training our members in debating and have produced some very good debates; second, we have won two debates from our rivals, the Philomelians, and with the aid of the Phi’s have won one end of every triangular debate in which we have entered; third, we have created school .spirit and good-fellowship among our members. We have, in the last five years, produced ten of the twenty debaters that have represented the Greensboro High School in the annual triangular debates between our high school and the high schools of Raleigh, Charlotte and Durham. Our representatives have won a beautiful cup given by the High School Alumni Association, winning the best two out of three com¬ mencement debates. We won from the Phi’s the first of these victories year before last, and again last year by default. This year we expect to beat them again. Most of our meetings have been carried on with good order and observ¬ ance of parliamentary rules. The society is divided into two sections. These have charge of a program once a month, so every member has some duty to perform in society at least once a month. The girls societies have given several well executed programs for the benefit of the other societies in school. These programs were greatly enjoyed and gave variety to our regular program. It is the greatest wish of our society that it shall do much good not only now but in the future, when the present members have all left school. John Walker, Historian.

Now the society meets the last hour and a half on every other Friday. At the beginning of this year a very radical change was made. It was announced that the society work was to be graded. This caused more work on the part of the pupils and therefore more interest. The programs rendered this year have been helpful as well as inter¬ esting. These have consisted of plays, recitations, vocal and instrumental .solos and quartettes, dialogues, debates and readings. The work of prepar¬ ing these programs has been in the hands of two chairmen, and as there are new ones appointed for every meeting the work has not been too heavy on any one person. Another change has been made in the election of officers. An entirely new set is elected twice a year instead of re-electing the same ones. This enables a larger number of the members to hold some office. This year has certainly been the best ever known to our society, and we hope next year has in store for us even greater improvement.

Before this time there had been only one girl’s society in school, namely: the “McNeil Literary Society,” composed only of the Seniors and Intermediates. But on account of the large numbers it was decided to divide this into two divisions under separate leaderships. Since our organization we have been striving for three things; First, to cultivate a greater appreciation of literature; second, to enable the mem¬ bers to express their thoughts more intelligently; and lastly, to foster a better social spirit. There are usually about fifteen girls on a program with two girls as leaders. Each girl tries to make her program the best and most attractive. The programs in no way have been monotonous for they are composed of readings, recitations, vocal and instrumental solos, dialogues, debates and short plays. This year especially have the girls taken great interest in the society work for we have been graded on it just as any other study. Indeed our meetings are always interesting and we enjoy them very much. Although we were the last society organized we have by no means been the least and we now stand on the same basis as our “Mother Society,” the McNeil. Our membership increases every year and now at the end of the fourth year the Ionian Literary Society is one of the main factors which go to make up the Greensboro High School. Mary Foust, Historian.

The following High School Events. remarks are not intended for those who have been attending the ath¬ letic contests and other events, such as debates, but they are meant for those not in school, who do not show any interest at all or who are only lukewarm in their interest. If the patrons of the school do not attend the contests of strength and intelligence of the school how can other people who have no connection with the school be expected to come? And if both of these classes do not show any interest, how can the pupils themselves be expected to show any interest in the regular school work, having no outside.encouragement in their athletics or society work, and therefore no bright side of their school work except the delight obtained from the daily round of work. Also financially the students need your aid in the way of attending contests, to defray ex¬ penses. Some will say, “I believe in contests only between the students themselves. 1 ’ But this kind of contest does not brighten the school work as the pupil may enjoy these sports with his friends, who are his fellow students, outside of school. Therefore, we request most earnestly your co-operation in all the undertakings of G. H. S. and it will be greatly ap¬ preciated by one and all of the students. With its capable and efficient management, the annual for 1914, ought to he the best ever published by Greensboro High School. Since it is the students’ work Reflector. and represents the progress in the past year it ought to be considered an honor by any student to he on its subscriber’s list. The editors are plann- E a£e 96 ing to do their part, but this will not amount to much with¬ out the co-operation of the students, and this is especially necessary in contributing jokes for the humor department. Yet for all this spirit displayed, there is an element of the pupils who show no interest in any of the High School undertakings. They are so small Non-Spirited Students that they can have no pleas¬ ure or ambition for anything ex¬ cept for themselves. We do not speak concerning those who make any effort but who are prevented by unknown means. Now just to show your spirit and what you are made of, let’s everybody be out at the next home game and root so that not even the peanut sellers can be heard. Let’s all of us who are able and who ought, come. Have big crowds at the debates and don’t let anybody be branded as untrue to dear old G. IT. S., because they did not take interest in one thing or other of the High School. VOICES OF THE WIND. Florine Rawlins, ’14 The whispering winds, the sighing trees, In accents meek and low, Are calling me amid the breeze, To places I feign would go. From up ’mid the clouds where the song birds reign And sing in perfect delight; The wind brings their music again and again To cheer the darkening night. In visions, in fancies, I soar with the wind, Far from the noise of the deep, And the cadence of voices that never shall end L ills the weary one gently to sleep. Oft when the world, with its push and shove, Goes wrong, and the heart grows drear; Hark! the breeze whispers a message of love, A message of good will and cheer.

F. Warren_ President Bryan McCullen _ Vice-President Elbert Lewis_ Secretary and Treasurer Very much interest and enthusiasm was shown, and everything pointed to a most successful year in the history of athletics at G. H. S. After a thorough investigation, the Association found itself slightly in debt, but through the loyalty of the McNeil Literary Society and a few citizens of the city, the debt was cleared and the Association again found itself on a firm basis for business. Fall athletics, consisting principally of football, began its work and the boys of the High School responded with good spirit. Captain John McAlister called practice regularly on Carnival Field, and Coach W. A. II. Gantt gave the boys some good team work. Later Mr. Stanton, of Citadel, became quite a force for the team and gave them some real college spirit in football.

P aiie 1 04 All the loyal citizens of Greensboro have become determined that this city and county shall be as free as possible from our common enemy—the fly and his assistant the mosquito. Although these small black warriors are separately insignificant, both as to size and beauty, and as to accomplish¬ ing any good toward the uplift of mankind, especially around Greensboro,, yet with mouths carrying millions of deadly germs, pointed at an object, even pointed at each one of us, it is time that everyone stop and listen carefully at the buzzing of these peaceful looking undertakers, flying over your table and playing upon your baby’s lips. Get the true picture of the fly; it is a horrible picture of death. Join the army against them; hang this picture of death upon the wall of our city; take down your old firearms from over the door and with all the vim which you have help Mr. E. P. Wharton and others in making Greensboro a model city. Let us succeed in killing these dangerous flies and mosquitoes and thereby make our city more attractive and more pleasant. The High School pupils willingly offer their assistance and support to such a beneficial undertaking. Each one can help greatly by saving the health officers the time of coming around to investigate the conditions of your barns and back yards. Disinfectant and fly swaters are today, for Greensboro, greater weapons than pistols or double-barreled shotguns.. Prepare for the coming fight which spring has brought, and “Swat the fly; Swat him till he die.” William .Johnson, ' 14 Page l(M) Social Events In after years as we recall the events of 1914 in our dear old G. H. S. ■our memories will not he complete unless we call to mind the festivities held in the name of the High School. And, as in order that a glance at these pages will bring to mind not only all the events, humorous or other¬ wise, connected with our school life, hut also the entertainments given by the Athletic Association and the various classes, we will briefly give an account of them here. The first football game of the season, played hv the High School and the Carolina Freshmen, was celebrated by a reception on the night of the game at the home of Miss Margaret Armstrong. All who were present re¬ member with pleasure the evening. Small footballs of blue and white, the colors of the Freshmen, were distributed and much fun was had in matching them. Dancing was enjoyed by a large number of the guests, and after refreshments were served, our visitors expressed their gratitude by some rooting, which was as much enjoyed by the young ladies as any feature of the evening. On the evening of the game of the G. H. S. vs. Raleigh High School, the home of Miss Marie Brandt was decorated for a reception, and the •students of the High School spent a pleasurable evening entertaining the boys of our rival school. Music was rendered during the evening by some of the guests and dancing was participated in by others. It was with much regret and many thanks to our hostess that this occasion closed. On Thanksgiving night the Athletic Association gave a reception at the country club in honor of the boys from Charlotte. Dancing was the •especial feature of the evening, though many denied themselves this pleas¬ ure on account of the strict rule against “ragging.” As it was known Pa « 107 that this entertainment would probably be the last of the “football recep¬ tions” of the team, advantage was taken of the fact and everyone, whether dancing or sitting on the porch, even though it was cold, was bent on having a good time. On March 20, 1914, the Senior Class entertained the Charlotte and Greensboro debaters of the Triangular Debate, at the home of Miss Jennie Britton, which was decorated in the Senior colors for the occasion. The marshals, the faculty and the members of the class of 1914 were the only guests present besides the honorees, and with this small and select crowd it was easy to find plenty of amusements. The Seniors, realizing that there was little time left for them to enjoy high school life, were deeply grateful to their hostess for her efforts towards making this occasion linger long in their minds in association with the colors of black and gold. A function which has been waited for eleven long years by the Seniors, took place on April 3, 1914. Attractive invitations of green and white the Tenth Grade colors, were sent to all the members of the two classes, which stated that the Intermediates would he at home to the Seniors at the High School. When the guests arrived, they were assigned tables, and progressive hearts and rook were played, and it can be truly said that “age and youth went hand in hand” when Principal Williams knelt grace¬ fully to some of the youngest and fairest of the members to the tune of “King William Avas King George’s son.” The color scheme of green and white was carried out in the refreshments and decorations. The Seniors felt honored beyond expression at the elaborate event given in their honor,, regret that it is customary for the Intermediates to entertain the Seniors only once in the year. Owing to the lack of a baseball team in the spring term of 1914, no¬ receptions were held in honor of the players. On Friday evening, April 10, 1914, the Seniors held their Class Day exercises in the Smith Memorial building, which Avas suitably decorated i u black and gold. The following program was rendered : I ' aif 108 1. Piano Duet—Misses Vanstory and Justice 2. Salutatory Address—Roland MeClamroch 3. History—Miss Annie Fred Foushee 4. Vocal Solo—Miss Florine Rawlins 5. Oration—William Johnson 6. Double Trio—Misses Foushee, Grimsley, Rawlins, Rightsell, Rich¬ mond, Britton. 7. Class Poem—Miss Florine Rawlins 8. Class Prophecy—William Boyst 9. Last Will and Testament—Pauline Justice 10. Class Song—Class An event to be remembered by the High School students is the oc¬ casion on which the Ionian Literary Society entertained the school. An amusing and interesting program was carried out. which was greatly en¬ joyed by the audience, the tableau, “The Honor of the Class,” deserving especial mention. The McNeil Literary Society has won a name for itself by the credita¬ ble way in which they raised fifty dollars which they shared with the Athletic Association. One evening in November, the second floor of the High School was decorated in autumn leaves and the McNeil colors, and a large crowd gathered to enjoy the fun. Ice cream cones, candy, lemonade and peanuts were sold in the hall, after the crowd had heard an entertain¬ ing miscellaneous program, by the members in the chapel. The witches haunt and the Indian tents were of interest,, but the most lucrative feature of the evening was the fortune tellers’ booth, where Misses Shaffer and Justice presided.

Then everyone began blinking, be¬ cause the sawdust had scattered into their eyes. Dr. Pritchett said he might be saved if the contents were collected quickly and put back.

Among home of the high respects paid him were: He was our friend, faithful and just to us, and we all did love him; but now he has departed and gone across the river over on the other side, where we hope to join him in the next year’s tenth grade.

It is estimated that a normal person has about 10 ounees. The inventor wished to test the instru¬ ment before putting it on the market for sale. Using himself as a model to try out the machine he found an over balance, and now he is working faith¬ fully trying to solve this problem and to diminish the amount else people will not understand. “Oh vanity where is thy sting.
