i t Til HARMONIAN I ft � ■ I y FOREWORD URING the school year of 1925-26, the Har- mony High and Farm Life School took man) ' steps f(ir v:inl. Niitahic .imdiif: the achievements was the cdiiipletioti of the gymnasium, — n building made possible by sacrifices on the parts of many former students of the school. The building of a baseball park around the best athletic field in this part of the state, additional eiiuipment for the various departments, improved grounds, and other ad- vances have been made. This annual is the first one produced by the school. It, too, makes an advance step in school progress. The editorial staif and the business managers attacked an unknown problem when they tackled the job. But they worked hard to make this little book possible. In seeing it finally made possible the staff which worked so diligently wishes the first word to be an expression of hope that the work on succeeding annuals will be made less difficult because of what has been done this year. And the same staff commends this effort to you with the hope that you may enjoy it and that the boys and girls who net copies now will in many ears to come enjoy turning the pages of THE HARMONIAN and re- calling happy school days at old Harmony High. f ---- TheHARMONlAN - Dedication i it We, the menilicrs of the class of ' 26 take pleasure in di ' dicitiii}; our first ;inmial to Professor R.

SENIOR GLASS HISTORY In the year of nineteen-twenty-two, we, the class of twenty-six, began our career at Harmony Hi;rh School. We were fifty in number. Althousb our class has lost several members and gained several, the number still stands at fifty. Our class has shown its interest in the work by records made; all have realizeH the importance of advantages and opportunities for advancement offered here; all ha e taken active parts in the I,irer;ir Societies; fi e of our members have been president of the Literary Societies during our stay here. At the beginning of our freshman year, we elected Alma Bradford, who is not a member of our class today, president of our class, and selected our motto and colors. Our motto Forward is expressive of the desire of each member to be progressive in whatever life ' s work each may undertake. Every year it has been the custom for each grade to present a play sometime during the school year. In our freshman year, we presented the play Mrs. Tubbs of Shantytown ; in our Sophomore year, When a Fellow Needs a Friend; in our Junior year, Out of Court ; and in our Senior year we presented What Happened to JoiWfc In tlie field of athletics our class surpas-cs :ui class that has preceded us. In boys basketball we boast of Brown, Little, Howard, Uavis, and McLain. In girk basketball we boast of Hudspeth, Howard, King, Jumey, Sills and Essk. Although our class has won only one debate, four of our members have won medals, which we consider just as hit;h an honor. In debating we ha e been represented by Dessie Howard, Opie Crater, and Cecil Grier, Robin Wooten, Clive Wooten, Kenneth Watts, and Laura Monriton. We have enjoyed the hospitality of a former teacher and of a Home EcomMnics class at paities daring the past two years. As students we have probably had our shortcomings but I will Venture to sajr that the class average is i-(|ual to or surpasses that of former classes. Now that our span of tour years is closed we look back and see our fortunes and misfortunes. Probably ambitions are unrealized. ct w e look forward today as we did in twentx-two to the higher thinfjs of life, ' riie kmiwledne actiuired is but small Compared to the life inspired. The scene beiny ended, we make our exit. CLASS HISTORIAN. Page Tiuenty-four SENIOR GLASS PROPHECY Now it was predestined before it was decreed that the future of the class of 1926 should he (jiven unto the hands of this your prophet that he might dream dreams and behold visions of the glories yet to come, but a cry of weakness did ascend. The spirit of genius did not descend and flood his soul with mjrstic powers, nor did a fair and lovely sprite appear to draw the curtain that your prophet .nug peer into the misty beyond in search of the destines of the class of ' 26. It was then that he found it necessary to have recourse to his theory of life: The future is but the child of the past and the present. Forecastinj: tlieii the harvest of the future by the seed-sowing of the past and the cultivating of the present, he makes the following ileviirt m: Ouv beloved presideiu, id W bitc, w irli dii nified liearin aTid incredible energy will persevere until he occupies the chair of modern languages in Princeton University.

Conipctciit Jewel M ers and Mvrtle Gantt and will devote their lives to teaching the heathen Chinee, and to blazing for them the dim, dark trail through the tmknown forest of life. Years of practice in side-steppinc from the noose of designing females, Beveridge Rene ar will siiine as a toreador, beadciuarters, Mexico City. Roy Renegar, the Leviathan of our class, shall draw the applause of spectators while he brings renown to himself and honor to Ctdumbia Umvetrity as a footlNdl star. Follow inj a iiatiiral iiKlinatKni. IJilI Cheshier, will offer iiis services to the patriots of Mexico. They will be gratefully accepted. His duties will be to start first class revolutions st rq[ular intervals, or as needed. Clive Wooteii will wander as a derelict on the sea of life, until he is restrained by the warm love of Margaret Bell, after which they will enjoy the applause of nations as opera singers. The allurement of the roaring speedway and the smell of castor oil fumes will be too much for Robie Finger and Wilson Thomas to resist. Riding in Dusenburp Specials they yviM establish rtew speed records for the Indianapolis sweepstakes. Alice Goodman, as manager of this duet, wtl make good and will sign her name Mrs. Wilson Thomas. In Washington we shall find Coetta Trivette and Nonnie Shaver, governesses, iti elite society circles. Tliey will always turn deaf ears to domestic entanglements. On the other hand Mary Norris ' and Thelma Godby ' s opinions on interior decor- ations win not be challenged. In years to come we sliall iind in a splendtdlf equipped hoqiatalt NeUie King, a well-trained ami efficient iiuise. We .soon shall hear of Cecil Grier through the columns of The Asheville Citizen on which he shall be a distinguished editorial writer. Dessie H(j.war(l w ill prepare iierself for the nolile.work of preacyi but later. she will realize that she is destined for law. Page Tvienty-five j The HARMONIAN | Ena Myers, who has always had a desire to travel abroad, will have her choice when she receives her appoiiUmeiit to France as the first ambassadoress. Albert McLain, prosecuting attorney of New York, will meet his Waterloo when duty calls him to prosecute Opal Essie, his financee, for breaking speed laws in a hii:li-pii cred racin r car. Glenn H )ward, after finishing his course at the Atlanta Dental College, will locate in Raleigh where he will immediiately spring into popularity, especially with the fair sex.

This course is designed to ii ' wv naiiiiiit: to tliosc w lio w isli to he better fitted for the work of teaching. It appeals especiall to teaciiers and students who are not financially able to go to collejic. Howexer. tlie credit received for the year ' s work is equal to that for a year of college work. Only graduates of a standard high school or holdeis of an Elementary B certificate are eligible for entrance. Graduates from the dppartnicnr receive an Elementary A certificate. 1 he course is compriseil of Pedagogj ' , Observation and Practice Teaching, Kiinlish, Histor , Arithmetic, Geoiiraphy, Public School Music, Writing, Drawing, Industrial Arts, and PInsical Kduc.ition. Many of the Teacher Training; ;:raduates have availed themselves of the opportunity to continue their work at East Carolina Teacher ' s College, Applalachian Traimng School, and at Cullowhee Normal School. These institutions are granted credit for the work done in the Teacher Training department. In this way, former students from the department ma complete the Two- ' car department course in either of these institutions in one car and one summer. (Maduatioii from these institutions will entitle students to Piiniarv or (iraiiimar (irade certificate. Needless to say, this is a wonderful opportunity for ambitious stud ents who are not able to enter college when they fini high sctuwl. For three ears the work has been under the able direction of Miss Maurie Simpson, believed to be the most capable instructor in Teiicher Training in the state. The first class (1923-24) was made up of the followiiit: students: Turner Crater, Reha Douglas, .Mary Foster, Cloyce Hunter, Dessie Johnston, Pauline .Masse , Hiatiche Poirulexter, l.cith.i Privette, Nova Shore, Flora l omas, Lucy Tharpe, Roxie Wall, Gertrude Watts. In 1924-25 the following students finished tiie course; Tabitha Hurgess, Blanche Galtlu-r, ' Tiieinia Garris, Lois Heath, (n-orgia King, Edidi Oakley, Eula Reavis, Irene Sloan, V ' elma ' Taylor, Margaret Woodside.

As we were iust be innint; hlKh school we had some difficulty in learning the high school routine. We met soon afterwards in a special meeting and organized our class, electing Ina Reid president. We spent a successful year learning the first steps in high school with Miss Foda White, now Mrs. Weisner, directing us. We had in number about forty members. Virgil Fox, from our class, won distinction on rhc n uk team. The chief event of the year was the day we spent at Yellow Jacket Lake. We met the next September fifteenth, no longer as freshies, but as giddy sopho- mores. Several of our old members failed to return but new ones took their places. We elected Mary Cooper, president and Mrs. Weisner, faculty director. Ina Reid was our distiiitiuished member winning fame on the county debatii team. We gave one pla aided by tile freshman class. We met again on September fourteenth nincteen-huntl red twenty-fi e. Se eral new members were added to our class and several old ones failed to return. Our class numbered fort -six. At our first meeting we started oft right by electing Ona Rea Current, president, Mabel Weber, vice-president, Ina Reid, secretary and treasurer. Our class is being directed by Mr. C. F. Kyles. Our honorary members are John Weaver, member of triangular debating team, and Elsie Sills, our basketball star. .As the year is still unfinished we do not know what it still holils for us. We are looking forward to the time when we shall be hailed as Seniors and to the time when we shall receive our dieq)ddn to go out into the worU to fill «al ifmMsi. We are grateful to all the teachers and friends who have helped us along die way. The encouragement and the advice gi en us by them will be remembered throtigh our lives and will be a gnat asset to us. V ' hen we have finished our preparatory training and have gone out to work let us hope that every member of our beloved class of ' 27 will be a builder— a builder who will build something that will endure after they are forgotten. We wish every member a long hapiiy life. CLASS HISTORIAN. Paffe Thirty-eight The HARMONIAN Sophomores 3 Pofe Thirly-n ' me 5 The HARMONIAN SOPHOMORE GLASS ROLL.
