And in painting a picture of days yet to be We shall make shades of gold and of blue. Like a soft summer breeze as it sways thru the trees Time has stolen so rapidly by. Have we not been asleep and lived on as in dreams Of the days spent at Jefferson High? Now we bid a farewell To our dear beloved school. Both sadness and love are combine:!, But when youth has passed quickly and age hovers near Memory’s shades, gold and blue, are entwined. —Lillian Carter. ’22. 29 President’s Address Honorable Faculty, Fellow Classmates, Students and Friends: We are about to finish the four-year task set for us by the Jefferson County High School. We are glad to have our teachers, our schoolmates, and our friends with us as we celebrate this event in history, in prophecy, in poetry, and in song. We are glad to have our teachers on this occasion, because they have been so faithful in their efforts to instruct us and to inspire us to look upward. No doubt we have erred many times in our attempts to imbibe their inspirations as deeply as they might have wished. They will, no doubt, be willing to overlook this to some extent if we assure them that as the years go by we shall recall again and again their words of counsel, that to them seemed to fall on deaf ears, and that we shall heed their call of wisdom. None the less are we glad to have our schoolmates share with us the joys and pleasures of this occasion. They have been our comrades anil good comrades, too. They have watched us on our journey and rejoice with us that we are so far on it. We may not be there on that happy occasion when it comes to them, but we shall rejoice just the same. To our friends we extend a welcome and an appreciation—a welcome to our joys and appreciation for the encouragement their friendship has been to us. They have tasted the joys of occasions like this and we know our joys shall be their joys. Our aspirations make us happy today. As we look out upon the world, we see a vast field of service. It is to this field of service that we here dedicate our lives. As we have chosen or may choose our life work, it shall be in this field that we shall labor. The heart of the world breaks for the unstinted service of humanity and it matters not whether we may teach or preach, whether we may advocate at the bar or sell goods at the counter, whether we may help to turn the wheels of a manufactory or what not, we shall have our part in this service. We shall enter upon our work with light hearts and trained hands, but they shall not be frivolous hearts or unwilling hands. We expect to help bear the burdens of mankind and we may at times stumble and fall. But it shall not be the fall of the weak, neither shall we grovel when we do fall. Our country’s call shall not fall upon deaf ears, but alert to all her demands, we shall stand ready to render her our best service. Nor shall the call of our God fail to receive our service. For we shall give back to Him, increased twofold, that which He has given us. We shall ever heed the advice which Shakespeare causes Lord Wolsey to utter: “Let all the ends thou aim’st at be thy country’s, Thy God’s, and truth’s. Then if thou fall’st, Thou falPst a blessed martyr.” 30 Clay Greer. ’22. History of the Senior Class Now these are the years of the Senior class of ’22. In 1918, behold it came to pass that a bunch of frightened rats came to Jefferson High, which is in Boyles. And, behold, it was a very muddy place, yet a very nice one. But, verily, these rats were young and very green and their name was called Freshmen. But a great sorrow came upon them, for in that year their building was burned and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth. But after many days, even unto the next year, a new structure was prepared for them and they repaired thereunto and great was the rejoicing in the hearts of the Freshmen. Selah! But, behold, the days had passed and these became less verdant for wisdom had made her abode with them and lo! their name was no longer called Freshmen but Sophomores. These Sophomores studied much and great was the toil, but low were the grades thereof. Even mighty students of valor fell before Latin and many before Math, and there was continued weeping and gnashing of teeth. And. behold, it came to pass that all did not dwell in the school called Jefferson, for some feared the plague, Latin, and verily all was not peace in the land. A great struggle ensued when the Philistine giant in guise of Prince ('harming appeared and captured some of the fair damsels from the Land of Wisdom. In the Junior year, behold, even fewer of the first great number remained, but these were very powerful, for lo, they outnumbered their enemies, the Seniors. In the latter days a great famine came into the land and neither the Juniors nor the Seniors were able to elect a May queen, but this was left to their struggling underclassmen, the Freshmen. Now, these children of wisdom had been journeying for three years and were about to enter the Promised Land. Of these Seniors some were wise and some were foolish. And upon the foolish a terrible plague, Chemistry, was sent, the greatest plague of all. And the foolish Seniors were willing to give up everything to be delivered of such a plague. So they gave up sleep, eats, picture shows, and all good times. They fasted and wept with the voice of one crying in the wilderness, but no man hearkened unto their cry; and this dreadful plague remained with them until they reached the Promised Land. Verily, I say unto you, divers and sundry Seniors were exposed to many great diseases, namely, Latin, Physics, Chemistry, French and Math., but they took them not. And mighty men of valor, called Juniors, were their friends and led them in green pastures beside the clear waters and spread a table before them and the Seniors beheld with great joy and clave unto the Juniors from that time forth—even forevermore. Selah! Lo! the Seniors were called to assemble in the land of the righteous and there to receive a diploma. And the night thereof was June 3, 1922. And verily they appeared and it was so and they entered into the Promised Land with great joy, for sorrow and sighing had vanished. Selah! Evelyn Caublk, ’22. .it Statistics of the Senior Class Dear Classmates: I have been assigned the stupendous task of col- lecting the exact statistics of this magnitudinous class. I soon became aware of the strenuous nature of this office and I immediately interviewed many doctors, lawyers, janitors and maids, but I dismissed their information. some as absurd and other as nonsense. Later, with the vast knowledge of a few students and with the help of forty-five dictionaries, twenty-four encyclopedias and one hundred and five sweet girl graduation books,.I was able to obtain a few fundamental facts concerning this wonderful class. In the matter of height, I venture to say no previous class has achieved our altitude. It is found that by placing one member on another’s shoulders, the top one could view the “Village Creek” on Mars. But if Parrie Blair were omitted, it would be possible to touch only the lower portions of the moon. Our combined height is so great as to defy the mathematical ability of Ethel McAnnally and Clay Greer, the geniuses of 203. If the combined weight of the Senior class were turned into buttermilk there would be 49,284 gallons and two quarts. One could sell that at 40 cents a gallon and mass the gigantic sum of $19,713.60, or stating it differently, if this entire class were put upon a balance it would counterbalance a weight 13 pounds heavier than the earth (Catherine Brown being the earth and the rest of the class the 13 pounds). The next thing of importance concerning each member is age. But a statistician has a hard time trying to find out which girl is over 16. I glanced down the column of figures that went something like this—18, 16, 20, 17. 22, 23. No, they are not football signals—they are the lists of ages. Pardon the last few numbers, but nevertheless they are true. Some of our fair damsels seem not to have had a birthday since they entered school many, many years ago. But after much diligent, patient struggling I am able to give you the exact age of each member. Just keep your seats. I won’t tell—I shall only state that if all the ages were added, the result would resemble an income tax report of the United States. In speaking of ages our minds would naturally revert to the subject of beauty. Never before has there been such an array of pulchritude both of the masculine and the feminine type. But first lend me your ears, and I shall impart to you that this renowned fame of the Senior class lies in the fact that they adopted the following motto and rules: Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And my asking lots of questions Take up all the teachers’ time. RULES 1. Never get frightened at Mr. Baird. Although he might frighten you to death, he can’t eat you. 2. Never hurry to classes, since the teachers will wait on you. 3. Never carry books if you can in any way avoid it, for they are detrimental to your beauty. 4. Never tell the truth when writing in “grad” books. With the good material this class is able to produce, I feel safe in saying this school could open a movie with an all-star cast, Wallace Reid and Mary Pickford (better known as William Coggins and Willadean Bearden) taking the leading parts. Another thing of great importance is our feet. I found that the combined weight of our feet tip the scales at the enormous sum of 77,777 pounds. This large sum is drawn from the entire Senior class with the exception of Joseph Sheppard, Lucile Reed and Parrie Blair. And in figuring again and adding the feet of the above three we would be able to make a foot large enough to use as a bridge across the Mississippi River. The difficulty would come, however, in raising it to let the steamboats go by. Having given as accurately and as concisely as possible the exact dimensions, weight, etc., of our class, 1 have no doubt that all of you will readily agree that this Senior class has as its gift to its Alma Mater one of the best statistical reports ever recorded in history. Parrie Blair, Statistician. 22. 33 Prophecy In vain I tried to prophesy. I tried to go into a trance, but to no avail. The only things I could see were cut-down Fords, hot dogs, and free movie tickets. In desperation I thought of all the dealers in mystic arts, but none seemed to fill the bill, so I decided to go to foreign fields. No sooner thought of than done. I cranked up my little red “flying flivver,” and in due course of time I landed safely in Athens, Greece. From there, with the aid of a “sky map,” I made my way to Delphi. The Oracle was very busy giving out the usual dope about the probability of another Dempsey-Car-pentier bout, the outcome of the Peace Conference and assuring the jealous Grecian wives that their husbands were no more fickle than the average men. The second day after my arrival the Oracle could not function on account of the priestess having a date for the movies in the morning and having to attend a ball that night. She therefore had to rest up and “make up for the event. On the third day, however, I managed to gain an audience, or rather a seance. Upon entering the mystic chamber I was struck with the simplicity of the place. There were no carpets nor were there any chairs except one little uncomfortable looking stool. This was placed over a wide crack in the floor and was occupied by the priestess. When I told her what I wished to know she motioned to a black slave and cried: “Turn on the power.” Immediately there began to issue from the crack a large volume of smoke. She seemed to pass into a sort of ecstasy and moan and sing a few bars of some weird melody. Finally she seemed to doze off in a dream and soon began to talk. At first she raved over the high cost of hair nets and nut sundaes, but soon began to tell me the hitherto unknown facts about your futures. I see,” she cried, a court room. Some one is suing for a breach of promise. Ah, yes, it is Rose Meadows vs. Charles Sharritt. Charles was supposed to marry her on July the Fourth, but preferred to play in the Jeffco Hi-Shades Cahaba alumni baseball championship game. He won the game for his Alma Mater, but when he got to the church Rose had gone “back home to mama.” Jewel Hendrix, who is now district attorney, has the case. Immediately I became so interested in what was going on that I couldn’t bear to be told. I therefore pushed the old lady off her stool and after a sneeze or two began to see for myself. I saw Elizabeth Green in her Paris workshop, designing those ultramodern 1932 gowns. Joseph Sheppard has a huge orchard and vineyard in California. Annie Potts is at Atlantic City following the role of a flapper. Clarice Varnon, Ethel McAnnally and Diinple Marsh have a studio in New York and have made quite a success. Hollan Davidson is champion ditch-digger of Jefferson county, his record being five feet per hour. Hortense Aders is head of the English department of the four county high schools and is about to accept a position as Dean of English in Chicago University. 34 Lillian Wiggins, Viola Self and Hazel Cobb are now singing at the Metropolitan opera, and it is rumored that all three of them will soon go to China to sing to the starving children. Lillian Carter is married to Roy Gillispie, who is head floor walker at C.olstein’s second-hand store. Elizabeth Carter has thrilled the dancers at West Lake with her new dance, “The Soul of the Dying Peacock.” Olyve Costner has founded an asylum for unclaimed poodles and now has two assistants, Gladys Moore and Mildred Self. Lucile Reid has just completed her record-breaking swim from Key West to Havana and it is rumored that she sang in a loud tenor voice at least two-thirds of the way. Olive Barton has also returned from her hike around the globe. Sarah Jones and Carrie Cowart are now doing a comedy and dancing skit in the Ziegfield Follies, while Lucile Lawley is making her debut in Vienna as a pianist. Ida Crawford is now playing the pipe organ at the new Trianon. Poor Virginia Griffith is still studying music in the Latin Quarter in Paris. “Red” Meagher is chief “gum chewer” for Wrigley's. It is said that he consumes five hundred packages daily as an advertisement. Katherine Brown is playing Juliet in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” at the Daley Theater in New York. Guy White is attorney for Carnegie Steel. Kittie Brake and Robert Cosby have married, but poor Robert is still deep in debt as usual. They seem very happy, however, on what Kittie earns with her needle. Willadean Bearden is teaching algebra at Jeffcohi. It is rumored that she will soon have the geometry classes also. Marion Pearson has at last succeeded in vamping Rachel Thomas. They seem to get along splendidly except when Rachel gets in one of her “depths of despondency.” Bert rice Black is now in the House of Representatives in Washington and is trying to pass the anti-cigarette bill. William Seibert is principal of Jeffcohi and it is said by the teachers that he is paying back old scores. Parrie Blair has a candy kitchen on Broadway and her mother judges from her letters that she is very happy. Her looks must make many a “stage door Johnny” stop, look and listen. Sarah Scalco is public stenographer with offices in the city hall. Nellie Mae Fritts is touring the United States with DeLacroix Brothers’ circus. She holds the title of “The Tallest Woman in the World.” She is nine feet, eleven and one-half inches tall. Jack Clay is also with this organization, being the Fat Man. He weighs seven hundred and eighty pounds. Mary C. Denson is aerial traffic cop on Nineteenth street and Third avenue, Birmingham. Ala. “Bo” Self is running a weiner stand in Bogulasci, Poland, but has been in iail for feeding the royal bloodhounds to the news boys. Stellene Randle is making stump speeches in behalf of the anti-cigarette bill which is being fostered by the Hon. Miss Bertrice Black. V. L. Cabiness is driving a plane for the Atlanta, Birmingham and New Orleans Aero Company. He recently married another driver for the same company and they now work on the same plane. Irene Howard is teaching in the new institution for the feeble-minded. Carl McKinney seems to have been unsuccessful in his search for a truthful girl. He has recently returned from Europe. Jennie McClendon is still attending Alabama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. This is her sixth senior class in that institution and she hopes to make it her last. She has taken three degrees and is now finishing electrical engineering. Walter McCreary Carneal is a lounge lizard in Pratt City. He seems to be enjoying the life to the fullest extent. Alton Davidson is a painless dentist, but his patients say it is painless to him alone, for he refuses to use any anesthetics. Mary Allen Kirkland is ribbon girl at Kress’s. She finished Randolph Macon, but preferred ribbon to double harness. William McKee is still working on the theory that man has developed rather than evolved. He claims that the human form was once at least five hundred feet tall, and possibly taller, and that in that case the present races are pigmies. Geddes Self is attending night classes at the Y. M. C. A. trying to get a college education. His marriage necessitated the abandonment of his original idea of going to college direct. The fumes seemed to die away, and I feared that I was not to see the rest of the fun. I called down to the janitor to fire up again—that the smoke screen was not thick enough. “Wait just a moment, miss, until I wind up the Edison again and put on a new record,” he answered. Soon I heard the strains of “Ain’t You Cornin’ Out, Malindy,” played in the latest syncopated style by Marne Smith, which caused a volume of smoke to issue from the fissure and I was once more in the land of “It Will Come to Pass.” I saw Willie Beddow on the Pall Mall, running a dental parlor right on the street. Lloyd George was occupying the chair when I saw him and looked away just in time to miss seeing Willie pull his wisdom tooth. Not far away was Clay Greer. He evidently was running some sort of lunch stand, but I couldn’t tell for sure, as he was eating at the time and might have been only a patron. 36 The next picture I saw was somewhat of a nightmare. It seemed to he some sort of a ballroom or audience chamber of some description. Mittie Fisher was seated in a large arm chair on a raised platform and around her there was a large crowd of well dressed people. Every now and then some one would go up and put a coin in her mouth, shake her hand, and soon she would begin to sing or make certain musical sounds, much to the delight of her audience. Sveral gray-haired, bespectacled men, presumably scientists, were examining her with great interest. 1 heard her say that she was realizing her greatest ambition—that at last she was a real live talking machine. I was glad, indeed, when the picture faded away. Marv Grace Erwin and Loy Thomason were just in the act of marching down a church aisle to the strains of—well, no matter. Anyhow, she had on a white veil with orange blossoms and he looked rather pallid and pleased. There was a great crowd. Curious to see the cause, I joined it. Soon I heard some one say. “Right this way. Right this way if you want to see the world’s famous side show.” Following the crowd, I bought a ticket and entered the tent. “Ugh,” thought I, “only a circus.” It was a woman in a sort of box filled with live, wiggling snakes and lizards. I looked at her face. Shades of Medusa! Could I believe my eyes? There sat Bessie Ruth Eppes like Patience on a monument, her head fairly alive with lizards of every hue and shape, and fondly caressing a Gila monster. “Hello, Erline,” she said. “Don't you think Tootsie (meaning the monster) is cute?” With a scream and two or three shivers I rushed out into the air, only to find myself about to fall off my little three-legged stool. 1 looked over at the old priestess and she had the nerve to grin at me. “My child,” she said, “when you have seen what I have seen you won’t mind a few snakes, more or less.” The scene moved to Constantinople, where I found that William Coggins was a director of Shakespearean plays. The excitement was too much for me and I felt myself falling off the three-legged stool. “Ah,” I cried, “I haven't seen them all.” The smoke was growing thinner and thinner. I scrambled to terra firma and yelled down to the janitor again. “Nothin’ doin’, miss,” he said. “Time to go to the movies. Got a date in fifteen minutes and it’s a half a mile to the Parthenon, and I broke the propeller on my air bus.” I peeked over the crack to see if I couldn’t see just one more picture. All I could make out was that Evelyn Cauble and I were living in some sort of an asylum and that there were more cats around than I had time to count. 37 Well, I couldn’t get another chance at the Delphi because some New York broker had engaged it for the next week so he could clean up a million or two. Sadly I packed my vanity case, cranked my flivver flyer and sailed back to New York. I boarded the first train for Birmingham and settled down for the long ride. The butch came through selling almanacs. 1 bought one and discovered that it was for a year ten .years off. I opened it and read— “It is predicted that Floyd DeShazo will make of the White Sox a winning team this year.” So Floyd will be a professional after all. “Dyer Franklin says: ‘It ain’t the high cost of flying that worries me. but the everlasting cranking of my Elizabeth Ford these cold mornings.’ ” Poor Dyer! He is still having the same trouble. “Ah crool, crool world!” “James Lynch, Herman Thompson, Herbert Wyatt and Walton Var-non are on their fourth attempt to locate the East pole. A recent radiograph reported that they had passed the outer zone and hoped to reach the pole in a few days. The message stated that they had a cargo of red. white and blue paint and that they intended to paint it “a la Barber.” “Margaret Pratt, who recently invented the ‘stretcher,’ a machine which stretches the human body in order to lengthen the stature, has presentee! the patent to Johns Hopkins to be used for the ‘rood of mankind.” In due couise of time I arrived in the dear old Magic City and hastily wrote up my notes. Here you have them in complete form, and if for any reason they do not come true, kindly drop me a card and I will do the best I can to help you realize your “fate” and save my face as a prophet. Respectfully and painfully submitted, Your prophet, Erline Proctor, ’22. as The Swan Song: As alone on the hillside I sit And gaze o'er the sunlit field, My thoughts just wander a bit Through the shades of the pa-st they steal. I quietly drift out of the present And slip into a vision of past; Everything is lovely and pleasant. The joy is too great to last. So softly and quietly I murmur The song that I love to sing, But the meaning is deeper and firmer Than the echo's continuous ring. I'd like to linger forever. And repeat my song to the wind; Time and tide in passing will never Blot the past and establish an end. Why pause i)i sad meditation And weep o’er memories of vast? Let’s rejoice in glad exultation For winning the victory at last. ’Tis foolish to try to recall The days we’ve already spent; Climb onward, for still we might fall.

Class Poet. 39 Ivy Oration It is with a feeling of gladness intermingled with sadness that we come together on this occasion to participate in the exercises of the class of 1922. Glad, because soon we are to receive certificates of our proficiency from one of the leading educational institutions of its kind in the country, and sad because we must then bid one another farewell and leave behind us the pleasures associated with school life. As we look back over our past records we see many mistakes along the way which now cause us much regret, but we shall let those mistakes be but stepping-stones to the achievement of greater success in the future. We rejoice over our victories, for they shall serve to inspire us on to greater and nobler achievement. What a pleasure it is to contemplate and ponder over the fact that each of us can have a part in pushing this world on the upward march to its final destiny! Each generation comes on the stage of action, fights its battles, makes its progress, writes its history and leaves it for succeeding generations to read, take up, and carry forward. We soon shall stand upon the threshold of life. The so-called needs of the hour and problems of the age will always be freely discussed. But the one great need of our country is men—men who prize mind for what mind is; men of lofty ideals; men of profound convictions; men with whom truth is a life, not a theory; men with hearts responsive to the right and whose wills do not falter. With such men with whom life is not an empty dream, but with whom life is real and earnest, our country is secure against all encroachments. The future of our nation rests not so much on her natural resources and wealth as upon the character of the men intrusted with the development of these resources. Men and not money should be the greatest asset of every truly great nation. If we would leave for succeeding generations a history fraught with deeds that will make our names immortal and our country remembered in story and song, we must lay aside the petty and frivolous things of life for the solution of the great problems that will confront us. To each of us there will come the opportunity to take a part in solving some of the vital problems that will confront our nation. New conditions are constantly arising, giving rise to new questions that must be settled by intelligent people. In the great political arena there are great reforms that must be made if we preserve our country as a land of the free and a home of the brave. In the business world there is need of reform in order that every one from the poorest to the richest may have a square deal. Men must retain and preserve their individuality, and who will deny that the social world has its problems and practices that have already gone unheeded too long? But our work in life must be constructive-as well as destructive. We are to be builders in every field of endeavor. If we build wisely, we shall erect monuments to our memories more lasting than marble and brass from which time can never erase the glory of our lives. The fact that we are here today as a class of 1922 means that we have undergone many sacrifices that we might thus prepare ourselves for lives of greater usefulness. But we have not made the sacrifice alone. Back yonder in the homes from whence we come is the place the first and greatest sacrifices have been made. 40 Today as we are nearing the parting of the ways, it is proper that we here pay our tribute to all those loved ones who have so nobly made it possible for us to be here. It has been said that “he who plants a tree plants a hope.” As we plant this ivy may we plant it with a hope that the Fates may deal gently with the class of 1922. As we prepare to fight the great battles of life that await us may the richest blessings of success crown our every effort toward answering the challenge and paying the debt we owe to our country and to our God. Carl McKinney, ’22, Class Orator. Last Will and Testament We, the Senior class of nineteen hundred and twenty-two, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make and publish this, our last will and testament., in order, as justly as may be, to distribute our interests in Jefferson County High School among succeeding teachers and pupils. We give to all good teachers in trust for their pupils all good words of praise and encouragement and all quaint pet names and terms of endearment and we hereby charge said teachers to use them justly but generously as the needs of their pupils may require them to be used. In manifestation of our esteem and of our love for our teachers as individuals, we bequeath to them the following: To Mr. Baird, our beloved principal, we give the right to continue calling the roll in chapel, giving those concerned the unusual privilege of visiting the ollice. To Miss Finley the right to continue her sweet smiles at the Senior boys of ’23. To Mrs. Wilson we leave an automatic machine to stamp “U’s” on all sociology papers. To Miss Blackwell the right to have her own opinion about political and slavery questions. To Miss Eppes the right to call a practice of the chorus any time during the day. To Coach Bryan we leave a record of the victories of the ’varsity of ’22. To Miss Walston we leave some kid curlers and a box of hairpins. To Miss Price, the Senior girls’ old dresses so she can sew some ruffles to the bottom of her skirts. To Miss Stowell we leave the remainder of all Senior girls’ lip sticks, rouge and powder in order that she may have better success in vamping Mr. Samuels than Miss Price had. To Mr. Samuels, a “jitney bus’’ in order that he may take all teachers lo and from school free of charge as long as he does not have any accidents. To Miss Moore, the right to fill all of her positions as nurse, doctor and teacher at J. C. H. S. To Mr. Farris we leave a pair of stilts to help him in reaching his ambition, namely, that of being manager at Jefferson. To Miss Neely, a little red box in which she may carry the tickets and money of the lunch room. To Mrs. Eidson we leave the right to have a French class of thirteen as bright Senior girls as the girls of twenty-two—no boys admitted. 41 To Miss Albright and Mr. Fora and all other lovers, we bequeath their imaginary world with whatever they need such as the stars of the sky. the roses by the wall, the bloom of the sweet hawthorne, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they might desire as symbolic of their endurance of beauty and love. To the chorus of ’23 exclusively we give all merry song and grave choruses provided they fill the halls and auditorium with as sweet echoes as did the chorus of ’22. To the young athletes of ’23 jointly, we leave all boisterous sports of rivalry and we give to them the disdain of weakness and undaunted confidence in their own strength. We would not forget the underclassmen who are laboriously climbing to the summit on which we now stand. To them we leave the following: To the Juniors, we leave our places and all our dignity together with our much worn books with the condition that they will keep them open late at night. To the Sophomores, we leave in the library all the volumes of the poems of Shakespeare and Burns provided each one read the numerous poems assigned during their remaining high school days. To the Freshmen we leave their long, long days to be merry in a thousand ways and the Senior privileges which, limited and a bit worn and frazzled, but perhaps with little mending will do to use. To Beatrice Cowden and John W. Russell we leave a pair of the best steel spring handcuffs in order that they may never be separated. To Fete Helton, all of Buster Meagher’s chewing gum that he finds parked under the desk. To Bivien Awtrey and Sadie Gray we leave the places of Erline Proctor and Evelyn Cauble as flunkies in the lunch room. To Arlie Ingram, one pair of Hollan Davidson’s socks. To Bauma Mae Whitley, Oliver Self’s ability to read French. To Vivian Springfield, the modesty and reserve of Hazel Cobb. To Ralph Dismuke, Joe Sheppard’s executive ability. To Oscar Marsh, Floyd DeShazo’s love of duty. To Tyler Glenn, Herbert Wyatt's timidity. To Grace York, William Coggins’ dignity. To Collins Barton we bequeath William McKee’s ponderous vocabulary. To the school, our beloved Alma Mater, we leave our flag as a symbol of our loyalty, love and patriotism. Witness our hand and seal this the 9th day of May. one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two.'

And so was the day begun. Three years ago, in this same way, Juniors began their race to run. Old Sol climbed fast;at last did he Rest, and thought, looking down at the earth. How great he was—how great he could be Before the next day’s heralded birth And so rested the sun. O, Juniors, Two years ago so rested we And dreamed of victories easily won Since half the race had been easily nm. The sun descended, and a day Drew swiftly to a triumphant close. Whispering softly as beautiful a lay As the one sang so cheerily as the sun rose! To the end the race is brought, Juniors, afer one more short year. Where now the victories so eagerly sought ? Is for nothing the toll? Classmates, Our victories were not for nought. They await us at the goal! Octa Belle Cansler, '23. A Toast to the Juniors After all is said and done. And the battle's lost or won; Here’s to the best class under the sky. Hurrah for the Juniors of Jefferson High! Osie Chapman. '23. 47 IN MEMORY OF ERNEST PROSCH Bom September twenty-third, nineteen hundred five. Died December twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred twenty-one. So short a time! And yet I would not have it otherwise, For somewhere out beyond the darkness lies— Too distant for my tear-dimmed mortal eyes— The Land Sublime. Ah! Woe is me! I try to look beyond the chasm wide. Beyond the mist and shadows that divide The Homeless from the Homeland, 1 have tried— cannot see. But could I peer Beyond the tomb, thru ever thickening mist, And catch that glistening Splendor, radiance-kissed, My dazzling eyes forever would, I wist, Be blinded here! W. D.

Up the beach of knowledge ire flit, The other Sophomores and I; And fast we gather, bit by bit, The scattered learning, bleached and dry. Madly we reach our hands for it; Eagerly each task we try, As up the beach of knowledge we flit, The other Sophomores and I. A bo re onr heads the sullen clouds— Examinations—fret the sky; Like silent ghosts in misty shrouds We see our Junior Hopes so high. Almost as far as eye can reach I see my eager classmates fly, As fast ire flit along the beach. The other Sophomores and 1. Sophomores, where will we be When breaks the storm of term exams? (See here; I can’t finish this In regular poetry Because I can't find the words To rhyme with words I hare to use; So I’ll just write free verse Like some I saw In The Literary Digest. What I want to say is That just as the lady Gathering driftwood on the beach Along with the sandpiper— You know the poem— Kept warm when the storm broke Because she had firewood— I don’t know what the bird did— Why so When examinations come We Soobomores will be safe Because We're been ilathering learning All the year. But if you can say that In the regular rhyme Like “The Lonely Sandpiper. All I’re got to say is You’re a better poet than I am And you can hare the job Next year.) 53 Jessie Menders hot. ’24. 54 { I A President .............................................................Lucille Baker Vice-President ........................................................Vernell Belle Secretary-Treasurer ...................................................Jessie Chantz Student Council Representatives...........................................

At first we were as shy as cats; ’Twas something new for timid Hats. One by one each took his place And went to work with happy face. As sage as Seniors, or any class. On our exams, to make a pass. Mid-term exams.—that old nightmare— Surely gave us quite a scare; But soon we found they were not bad If we remembered all we'd had. Day by day we’ll strive and work And our duty never shirk. The teachers praise us and a' that. Still, lessons sometimes “stump” the Rat. But, undismayed, we always try, ’Cause we’ll be Seniors by and by; Ambition ever makes us strive To reach our goal in twenty-five. Now, from our teachers, kind and true, Who’ve aided us in getting through. We’ll have to part. So then, good-bye To all of you and Jefferson High. —Beatrice Eubanks, ’25. 59 The Students’ Council Jack Clay President Artie Ingram Vice-President RUth Davidson Secretary Miss Walston Treasurer Mr. Farris Faculty Adviser Executive Committee Jack Clay, Arlie Ingram, Ruth Davidson, Carl McKinney, Aileen Russell MEMBERS Fresh men Re present a t i res Bell, Vernell Cansler, Charles Carlin, Helen Chants, Jessie Fortney, Earl Griffith, Sadie J u n ior R c p res cut a t tv es Cansler, Octa Belle Fennell, Lucile Ford, Ormond Holmes, Annie Ingram, Arlie Soph omore Re present a t i res Anderson, Elizabeth Caddell, Essie Davidson, Ruth Gibson, James Horsley, Nona Sen ior Representn t ires Blair, Panic Clay, Jack DeShazo, Floyd T 0 Sewell, Hazel Martin, Edwin Mitchell, Ben Russell, Aileen Powell, Bernice Weed, Herman King, Jesse Schrimsher, Earl Pender.

We could not have found a better name for the crowd of girls who have had such happy relations with one another. Our society was organized September 22, 1916, with an enrollment of thirty members. For six years the Arnica girls have worked hard. Now the names of one hundred and fifty girls appear on the pages of our records. Although we had some difficulty at the first of the year because there were so many members, we soon found a good way to overcome this by dividing the society into two sections with the names Arnica A and Arnica B, each having its own otticers. On Thursdays at the third period we have our meetings and on every other Thursday both societies meet jointly in the auditorium. The Arnica girls nave given a program in chapel and are working on another which will be given soon, and they have done a great deal to keep “pep” in the vocabulary of Jefferson’s personnel. The Arnica girls assay hard to be loyal to their name and motto, “Higher, always higher.” Our beautiful colors are black and gold and our flower is the pansy. In taking a retrospective glance we see without difficulty our shortcomings, but in our prospective look we hope to profit by our failures and live the following motto: Here's to the Arnica! As knights of old We'll be loyal To the Black and Gold. —Ida Crawford. ’22. Sidney Lanier The Sidney Lanier Society is named in honor of that great Southern poet, Sidney Lanier. As Lanier said, “I’ll lay me ahold on the greatness of God,” so have we repeated it and we have not taken it as a theoretical statement, but we have attempted to make it a practical motto. Two of our members, Guy White and Roland Jacks, attended the Older Boys’ Conference at Huntsville last October as representatives from the Lanier Club. The greatest incident in our society activities, however, will occur May 5, when the president, together with Clay Greer, of the Jefferson Club, will attend the debate to be held at the University of Alabama. Virlin Am-berson and William McKee will attempt -to win laurels for Jeffcohi at Auburn. During the year we have rendered two programs in chapel, one on Armistice Day and the other a mock trial. We trust that we are on stepping-stones to higher things and shall accomplish such great undertakings as would cause us still more and more to merit the name of the noble poet which our club bears. Guy White, ’22. 66 Tutwiler Prophecy How wonderful it was to watch the moonbeams play upon the waves of the silvery lake. As I mused dreamily, I noticed that my boat was wafting me toward the shore. Suddenly everything grew perfectly dark and it seemed as though a huge curtain had dropped, hiding from me the playing moonbeams and laughing waters. Slowly a tall spirit arose, saying, “If you wish to visit the land of the future, come, follow me. I immediately arose and followed and suddenly we were in a large theatre, where Evelyn Cauble and Lucile Hawthorne were ushers. They told me that I would be interested in this, as one of my former friends. Hazel Cobb, was starring in it. It then led me to a large building, the Black Cat Vamp Institution, where, to my surprise, I found that Rose Meadows and Jewel Hendrix were giving courses in vamping, and among their most successful pupils were Mary Allen Kirkland, Gladys Moore, Vivian Springfield and Dimple Marsh. We then walked on until we came to a small bungalow and here the spirit beckoned me to stop. Who should greet us at the door but my teacher, who was formerly Miss Albright but now had become the wife of .............. , a Ford taxi driver. Upon inquiry concerning Miss Walston, she told me that she had suddenly become romantic and eloped with an aviator. The spirit then led me back toward town to the court house. We entered and found court in session and there were Olive Barton and Bert-rice Black, lawyers, pleading a case of heart stealing for Erline Proctor. As I walked on down the street after the adjournment of court, I heard a familiar voice, and, looking around, I saw Kathervn Brown on the street selling 10-cent novels and yelling at the top of her voice: “Buy a book. Thrilling love story of my own experience at Jefferson County High School.” She had at last attained her great ambition to become an author. As I walked down the street I met another friend, Sarah Jones, who told me that she was dean of the largest college of the city, that Mary Grace Erwin was governor of the state, and that Mary C. Denson, Virginia Griffith, Annie Potts and Viola Self were members of Congress. She also told me that Lillian Wiggins and Lillian Carter were famous artists and had a studio on the next block. I hurried on to speak to the artists. After climbing a long flight of stairs I at last reached the place. I found the artists busy painting with Stellene Randle as their model. They told me that Vestal Taylor had just left and that she had become very interested in athletics and was assisting an instructor at a large physical education institute. I was quite surprised when they told me that Elizabeth Green and Mittie Fisher were missionaries in Africa. And last but not least, Lessie Thornhill was teaching lessons in dancing on the third floor of that very building in which I was visiting. As I turned to walk out, I stumbled and went winding down the high Might of stairs. When I hit the bottom I found that my fall had not been so far and that the distance I had fallen only extended from my bed to the floor. Elizabeth Carter, ’22. 67 The Jefferson Club Upon the removing of the ban prohibiting the Freshmen from joining the Senior societies, our membership was greatly increased. The younger members of the society quickly caught the Jefferson spirit and did their best toward making our society the best. The society, with good luck, retained Mr. Farris as one of its faculty advisers. Mr. Farris is an old member of the Jefferson and has our society at heart. We were also fortunate in securing Mr. Bryan, who has brought new life and a new interest into the club. The subjects for our debates, which constitute the greatest part of our programs, are well chosen and the respective sides were defended. A football game between the Jefferson and Sidney Lanier societies, which is only one of the outbreaks of friendly rivalry between the two societies, resulted in the Jeffersonians being the victors and, of course, added interest to our meetings. The annual debate, which was discontinued the last two years, is to be held again this year. Our speakers, Mr. Sheppard and Mr. McKee, both clear, level-headed speakers, are working hard to hold up the old Jefferson standard. To all who do not belong to any club and to all new pupils of ’23: If you will just visit our society and see what the Jefferson Club is doing you will surely be inspired by the friendly spirit that prevails there, and you will want to come back to join. The best, most appropriate thing we can say of our club is contained in our motto, “We do things.” Robert Cosby. ’22. 68 The Music Study dub Colors: Green and White. Flower: White Carnation.

On the con- trary, it strikes us more, the more we are familiar with it.” This has been the idea in the part the Music Club strives to play in the life of the High School. The repular meetings this season have been devoted to the study of the lives of the preat composers and their works, current musical events and practice in propram work and public playing. Through the efforts of the club a male quartet and a chorus club have been organized, these groups adding much to the pleasure of chapel exerci-es and public occasions. Several attractive additions have be.n made to the furnishings of the music room and stage.

The aim of the course is to aid the girl in meeting immediate problems, in being a useful member of her family, and in realizing the dignity of home-making. The motto for the year has been, “Do common things uncommonly well.” All problems undertaken have been simple ones, but each representing the student’s best effort. We have hoped to create high standards of good work for the foundation of future school work and future home-making. 71 Home Economics I ROLL Odessa May Gertrude Melton Lizzie Moss Alma McAnnally Nettie McCormick Geneva Poe Grace Potts Marguerite Prosch Bernice Scogin Hazel Sewell Virginia Shifflett Dorothy Shuff Lillian Simpson Evelyn Tapscott Leola Thomason Nellie Vaughn Wilma Williams I hellie Burger Hazel Carter Hazel Clay Eva Mae Cook Clara Cowart Katie C unningham Gat ha Donaldson Nell Duncan Margaret Edwards Helen Estes Grace Goff Opal Harper Katherine Harris Agnes Henderson Beatrice Huguley Verda Hill Zielan Jacks ( la rice Lonergan 72 Home Economics II ROLL Aileen Cowart Adeline Duseberry Hazel Glaze Annalee Green Lillian Green Ruby Harper Maurene Henderson Ruby Jones Millie Kelly Cathetine McSwean Catherine Pamplin Nannie Yancy Elizabeth Pettil Bettio Riddle Elva Shaw Belle Smith Gladys Smith Iva Smith Thelma Smith I la Underwood Nettie Wade Gertrude Weidenbach Mae Whitley 73 Football Enthusiam for the “gridiron game” in J. C. H. S. can be traced as far back as the opening of school. That enthusiasm did not wane during the entire season, and as the season drew near its close many sighs could be heard among the “fighters.” The “Wild Cats” were well represented in all State selections this year, since two men, Snyder and Barton, were selected for the first team. Four men, Clay, DeShazo, Franklin and Deal, were placed on the News' honor roll. 7 5 Basket Ball The following is a resume of the games played during the basket ball season: Jefferson....................... 33 Jefferson....................... .22 Jefferson.................... ... 9 Jefferson........................17 Jefferson........................19 Jefferson........................24 Jefferson 18 Jefferson........................44 Jefferson....................... 27 Jones Val’ey ............... ...10 Shades - Cahaba ............. 11 Simpson ..................... 21 Central 21 St. Clair ... 20 Jones Valley ................... 9 Bessemer ..... Jackson ..................... 12 Simpson .......................51 Whether the basket ball season can merit much praise or not, the team gained several victories of note and the fame of “Bo” Self is widespread. Self made all-state pick, while Gillespie’s name appeared on the honor roll. 76 Baseball The prospects for a winning baseball team are apparently very encouraging. To date on’y regular games have been played. The first garner were played in Columbiana with the fast Shelby combination. In more than one feature of the game they showed unusual skill. The next game came a week later, when the Blount County nine were our visitors. The “Cats” proved their superior strength in setting the Oneonta boys down in splendid style. The Jefferson County League opens April 11 and many fans are looking forward to this event with much interest. 77 Track Our first track meet took place at Alabama’s annual meet, where we went up against some of the best men in Alabama. We did not have the success that we wished for, but that was due to the fact that our men were outclassed and inexperienced. Barton made the best showing when he won a medal for being third in the broad jump. Clay and McCulloch also did well. These boys will represent us in the Birmingham-Southern track meet and in our own festival on May Day. We feel certain that these boys will make a splendid record and win many honors in these meets. Three cheers for Jefferson! Jefferson must win! P'ight to the finish—never give in. Rah! Rah! Rah! You do your best, boys, We’ll do the rest, boys; Fight for the victory, Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! 78 The Girls’ Basket Ball Team The team of 1921-22 is the first girls’ team put out by Jefferson. The first game played was with Jones Valley on Jefferson’s court. It was in this game that Annie Potts began her good playing that spotted her out in the following games. Due to her good playing and the heavy guarding of Agnes Drake, the Jefferson girls were able to win, the score standing 18 to 15. This victory gave the girls courage and determination to play and win, if possible, every succeeding game. They next played the Co-eds of Birmingham-Southern College. The Jefferson girls were ahead in the first half, but their strength seemed to ebb in the last half and the Pantherettes won by a close score of 2 points. The score was 15 to 13. Annie Potts and Agnes Drake were responsible for the scores of Jefferson. Janie Potts also showed some very good guarding. The next game was played with the Co-eds of Howard College. Due to the heavy and defensive guarding of Elizabeth Green and Agnes Drake, the Co-eds were unable to score. Blair, Potts, Carter and Awtrey played well. A return game with Jones Valley next ensued. The victory was uncertain until the latter part of the last half. Then Annie Potts and Agnes Drake redoubled their efforts and the game ended with 13 points for Jefferson, leaving Jones Valley with the score of 10. As Central and Knsley had no organized teams, the Jefferson girls could not play them. Most of the teams played according to girls’ rules and the Jefferson girls played by boys’ rules, therefore they could not compete with many other teams. However, the local papers stated the team was fully competent to compete with any school in the State. In making a resume of the games of the season, we feel that a very successful season has ended, since the Jefferson girls did not lose a game to any high school team in the county. Parrik Blair, '22 79 The prevailing idea in days past was that manual arts was pursued in the schools for its cultural or disciplinary value. The old order has changed and manual or industrial arts has its place in our schools now more for its practical value. We are realizing more and more that true education has for its purpose the training of the head to think in practical channels, the heart to feel, and the hand to perform the skillful labor it finds to do. The last named, hand training, is the one which particularly concerns this department of the high school. The projects and problems dealt with have their true relation to home life and will, as completed, find a place for use in the home or school. Such practical group projects as fencing the campus and laying concrete walks have engaged the attention of the class. Another venture is sodding the campus and setting out trees and shrubbery that will make the school a delightful place in which to live. Due to its vocational and utilitarian aspect as well as the other fact, that now a whole unit of credit is granted, there is a lively interest taken in this practical training. 80 .

This work has been done under the direction of Miss Leila G. Moore, of Montgomery, Ala., one of the English teachers, who also has a National Red Cross certificate for training and service done during the war in American. British and Canadian recruiting stations and canteen work in Duluth, Minn., and Montgomery, Ala. In the membership drive in December the student body enrolled 100 per cent and the part of the funds allotted to the school was used to furnish and equip the school hospital, of which Miss Moore has charge. Here prompt and sanitary treatment may be received in case of illness or accident. . . .. It was the manifestation of interest and enthusiasm which caused the officials of the Birmingham chapter to select this school as the first one to receive a three weeks’ course in home nursing and care of the sick offered by the Southern Division in Atlanta and represented and taught by Miss Gail MacDonald. Upon completing the course 169 girls received certificates on the evening of April 27 in the auditorium. The program was as follows: Song, “She Wears a Cross Upon Her Sleeve.” Address—Dr. Morris Newfield. Chorus, “America, the Beautiful. Short talks by Mrs. F. G. Blynn, of the Birmingham Division; Miss May Hansis, of the Junior Red Cross; Mr. Wm. J. Baird, principal of the high school, and Miss Gail MacDonald, nurse. An inspiring part of the occasion was the fact that the procession was led by two ex-service men, students of the high school. They were Charles Goodhue, who was wounded in the Argonne, and James Gibson, who for two years was on a battleship on the Pacific coast. S3 1921-22 IVkkioWJJ.JJJJV,! SEPTEMBER ! .............rt rj .?

And oh, we dread it when it’s raining! And then we study first year science, (Mr. Samuels thinks we’re mental giants). English I’s a great deal better; We read a poem or write a letter. We’ve little time for rest or slumber, For soon it’s math, with x for a number; And then you’ll find the Freshmen lunching, When appies we’re eating or peanuts we’re crunching. In vocational civics, we plan for our future— There are so many trades, you should get one to suit you— Then with tired brains and footsteps a-laggin’ We leave the high school to go home on the “waggin.” —Vkrda Hill, ’25. The Hunter Cupid Over the hills of sunshine, Through the valleys so dark. Scampers a merry hunter Off for a joyous lark. He and his merry troopers Follow the path of youth, Sure of a ready victim— Waiting for them, in truth. This mischievous fellow has weapons, So steady and sure they are That the bow of the swiftest arrow May be held and drawn from afar. And when his duty is over He watches with twinkling ryes. For they are the innocent victims, And he is Cupid so wise. —EVKLYN CAUBLE, '22. 87 The Season of the Child In all the countries in this wide world there is a certain hovering glad spirit at Christmastide especially. Generally this feeling is viewed from afar and devoutly revered—much as a new babe just from heaven. It always brings a certain degree of ecstasy and it thrills terribly—depending on how open and direct one is with the rest of the world. I imagine the Christ child thrilled the shepherds and the wise men from the East. A kind of glorious surging thrill it was, too—just to see the Divine Gift, an innocent, wide-eyed babe. They may have expected so much for a king that the Child astonished them. Hut the spirit of Christmas is calm, peaceful, gloriously happy, even though it is ordinary happiness. It is not easily attained but is the culmination of the happy days and hours we have lived during the year. A culmination merely—and though this particular happiness stands out distinctly from the general pattern, yet it is very desirable even as an ordinary happiness without the fever of excitement, for it is holy, serene, and satisfying to the most of people. The spirit of the season is eternal. It was centuries ago, and it is now. Probably it shall remain so. The love in the thoughts and acts of the little ones to whom Christmas appeals most strongly keeps the season fresh and filling to the most sated. The thoughts of little children are fresh and their appeal is expressed by the little girl who thought of this: If Bethlehem were here today, Or this were very long ago, There wouldn’t he a winter time Or any cold or snow. I'd slip out of the garden gate And down along the pasture walk, And off beside the cattle hams I’d hear a kind of gentle talk! I’d pull away the iron chain And slip aside the wooden pin; I’d push the door a little hit. And tiptoe very softly in. The pigeons and the yellow hens, And all the cows would stand away; Their eyes would open wide to see A lady in the manger lay. 88 If this were very long ago. And Bethlehem were here today, .And mother held my hand and smiled, I mean the lady would—and she Would take the wooly blankets off Her little boy so I could see. His shut-up eyes would be asleep. And he would look like our John, And he would be all crumpled, too, And have a pinkish color on. I'd watch his breath go in and out, His little clothes would all be white; I'd slip my finger in his hand, To feel how he could hold it tight. The mother smiled and said. “Take care, The mother Mary would Take care, And I would kiss his little hand And touch his hair. And when she put the covers back The gentle talk would soon begin. And when I'd tiptoe softly out I'd meet the wise men going in. —Lydia Jean Tumlin. ’23. In Praise of Old II A Hurrah, hooray! We're the old II A, Who win in all we try. The old II A for many a day Will be the pride of Jefferson High. If you ask me to say why the old II A Stands ever and ever so high. The old II A, I'll say right away. Has “On!” for its battle cry. You can't delay the old II A, Or knock their ambitions awry; For on their way they're bound to stay Until their goal is nigh. For old II .4 I'll never lay My harp and lyre by. Oh, hip, hooray! for old II A. The pride of Jefferson High. —Norman Farris, 24. 89 Ramblin’ On Say, The funniest thing Happened to me Yesterday Morning. A funny Little man wearing nose Glasses Sat down Beside me And tried to Flirt With me! Of course I Looked out of the window— 0 That reminds me. One day I was sitting On The street car And The car stopped And I Looked out Of The window to See What was the matter And the window Fell and Nearly Broke my Wrist Watch. Never did Get any money From the company. But you know I knew A feller Onct That had a street car Window Fall on his Arm And He got several Hundred Dollars— ' That Is when I Heard of him Last he Was Going to get it. You know, There was a man Came Out to school Th’ other day— I saw 90 Him In the office Talkin’ to Miss Finley. Yes, She’s the cute Teacher And I Went into the Office Where he was, and he Looked Exactly like Rudolph Valentino, Or Nearly like him. and I do Believe He was Dying To meet me, But Miss Walston Came in— You know Everybody Loves Miss Walston. She is so Good V kind And she’s so Easy For a geometry teacher. Was Geometry Hard for you In high school? People say Boys learn It easier Than Girls. I hate boys. But If you’re all dolled Up ’N’ everything At a party It is N ice To have ’em rush you. You’re Getting oIT next Block? O I’m so glad I Studied my History Last night Because here We are At the school And I haven’t Opened One book! E. P., '22. I tried and tried and tried To write a poem To go in the Annual For the teacher who asked me And tho I tried hard Far into the night. When I had finished 1 showed it to Jim (He’s my feller) And he says, Say, girl, Where’d you get it? And he got furious When I insisted that I wrote it And it was a poem And he left me. So I tore up the ole poem And the teacher told everybody That I was too dull for anything, That I was too lazy to wiggle. After all my hard work I lost Jim. Now, ain’t it unreasonable, Ain't it?

On the campus rough and tumble, Knowing all our work is done. At our duties quiet, yet smiling, But at play we have great fun. We do our biddings well, nndriven, And when our teacher’s brow is sad We try to show our love for her, Bring back her smiles and make her glad. Success of Jeffcohighs remind us We will have success in time, And when graduating leave behind us High ideals for those who climb. Ill A’s, let’s be up and doing With an interest new and great; Still keep working, still pursuing. Find ourselves at Senior’s gate. —Sadie Cook, ’23. 91 The House at the End of the Road Long, long ago, when any one became friendless, needy and without help, there was sometimes a Good Samaritan who took him in gladv and his wounds were cleansed and food was brought. These things are with us still—the Good Samaritans and the houses although the search for them is long and tedious and they are usually found at the end of the road that winds uphill all the way. At least mine was discovered there, and as a usual thing they are so found. Sometimes young children are Samaritans and then old children often do wonderful things. Many different kinds of houses there are, too. but the one I found is by the wayside, where people can pass along and smell the flowers, and where the scent of the peach trees’ bloom meets one fragrantly. A real woman is the keeper of this house by the wayside and she has so modeled it and it is so dependent on the woman that one naturally would not think of them separately. One senses the difference in the very feel of this house compared to others seen. You tiptoe, or at least feel that you should. That is caused by the deep quiet there. There are soft welcoming beds, real patted looking. By the window there is a wicker rocker and room for books and when the sun shines through cream curtains with yellow daisies a glorious radiance fills the room. One day something wonderful happened to the house and its keeper. The angel, or child, who was not really an angel then, but was going away where the angels are, came to stay with the keeper of the house to prepare for the great trip. Sweetly fragile—more angel than a fiesh-and-blood girl, she lingered and her very lingering sweetened the air. One listened to her speaking and her reverence toward the keeper was most appealing. There was a little, curly, white dog and a great, solemn, purry cat and she loved both devotedly. Thus they remained in solitude, the tireless keeper and the child, and no neighbors came to offer help. They were afraid—these neighbors,'because of the dreaded disease, and as it was in olden times, they passed by on the other side while the faith of the keeper glowed, burned, and flamed for her child, the angel. 92 The days came and went—oh, so quickly! And to the two the hours were inexpressibly dear, rapturously so because she grew less in fear of her only enemy—Death. At twilight the child begged for songs to be sung and the keeper softly sang to her of faith, love and hope. “You must not fear, my child,” said the keeper. ‘‘You are at the only place for you in the end—the house at the end of the road. One only passes from one room to another in this change. Fear not—there is no death!” Slowly the spirit of an angel was given the child and as she became thus purified an unearthly sweetness was of her, all about her, and from her. The passing came with infinite sweetness and a great dull quiet filled the room, the house, and the heart of the keeper. The child had conquered death, and the angel was alive! “Oh, my child,” softly cried the keeper, “my own child, I needed you, wanted you. Won’t you come back? But the child was gone; the angel lived. The day of the Crucifixion came and even as He was laid away in the tomb and even as Martha and Mary mourned for Him. so did the keeper for the child. At the end of three days the resurrection came long ago. On this Easter day the keeper sat in a church, dimly lighted and silent. The speaker used words of faith, hope, and love and her sorrow and the dull pain was eased. Somehow, the keeper was gloriously glad. “Oh, what a chance to serve, and how it filled the void in my heart nothing else could have filled,” she thought as she sat there. And as she sat there silently and the speaker grew more earnest, her soul was uplifted and strains of exquisite music reached her ears; the veil between the mortal and the spiritual was lifted and she heard and saw angel chords and—the child! Angel now, a spiritually beautiful angel, and the keeper saw the beckon of her hands and the form of the words on her lips. “Mother, dear, I love you. You helped me at the end of the road. The road is clear—follow me.” “Oh, my child”—the voice of the keeper broke. Slowly and softly she uttered the words— “She is not dead, flower, soul and God Know there is no Death; there is one life, no more. The all of God is Lore. The all of God is here; She is glorified; she has become divine, She lives, she knows, she sees, she shouts with every breath. Life is eternity, There is no Death!” 93 —Lydia Jean Tumlin, ’23. “The Class That’s Wond’rous Wise” There is a class in our school And it is wond'rous wise! The American Literature Class of ours. It always takes the prize. In studying the poets it's wonderful, It is surpassed by few; In classics its grades rank high. This class of twenty-two. Admired Mary Grace leads the class, Her laughter bright and gay Has cheered our weary burden'd hearts And brightened many a day. Our cheerful Hollan next appears. And Charles with his broad grin. They've written poems that will be read Throughout the days of men. There's Kittle, who is dignified, And studies every day. Our two Sarahs—who never break a rule Or after school must stay. Then Mittie, a musician great. Who plays the violin; She's just the kind of little miss To break the hearts of men. Our Marion, who toward Riley leans, And sings his praises near and far; Next Roy. the boy whose motto is, “Hitch your wagon to a star.” Mr. Bo,” who's fond of Poe And all his wend, wild stories; To Annie Potts he reads aloud Of all his lost Lena res. Then Flora Lee, irho's working hard. Ladle burns oil all night; And Floyd, that funny boy. Who tickles us outright. ‘ 4 Four Williams to this class belong. You see that's quite a supply. But each and every one of them Has helped keep our standard high. And Eloise, the dear little girl Who is so very quiet, 'Cept when talking to Dyer across the aisle. Which is her steady diet. Then Walter, Loy and Mack, Each one a jolly good “feller; Next comes our smiling James, Who's not our very best speller. Next Guy, ivho's much in lore, you know, And Walton, who never has much to say, But his ever-ready, willing hand Has helped us on our way. Last, but not least, our Geddes comes, Who's awfully nice and fat; He laughs and jokes the time away. Good matured, and all that. And dear Miss Moore, our teacher, Who's wonderfully good and sweet. But Gee! to give a test, to her, Is but the rarest treat. And thus my story’s ended Of these bright lads and lassies, Who is each an honored member Of this, the best of classes.

Take heed lest thy name appear on the U list; for I say unto you. it shall not be taken off until thou hast made the necessary grades, even unto the uttermost point. 2. Hear this, O young ladies, and give ear to my work, ye girls, when ye walkest into your room do so in quietness, for verily it soundeth to Prof Baird in his room, 213, as the tapping of a thousand hammers. 3. Behold thou art never to leave the room without permission, for in the eyes of the faculty it seemeth an awful crime, and the end of that bo whoso transgresseth shall be humiliation. 4. When thou are “flush” thou shalt keep it to thyself; for many then be who have designs on thy pocket book. 5. Thou shalt not loaf too long before going to class; for verily room 213 lieth in wait like a monster, to devour whomsoever it may. 6. Thou shalt do thine uttermost to make S in American literature; for hard is the path and few there be who attain that high mark. 7. Behold when the hour of study is come, thou shalt tear thyself away from those who would entice thee to loaf, and shalt apply thyself to Un-English else the morrow will find thee lacking. 8. Boys, when thou makest a date with a young lady for the picture show, consider first the strength of thy pocket book; for many are the unseen expenses of such a venture. 9. Beware, lest thou lose thine heart to some fair damsel of Jefferson High, for such things will in the end cause thy downfall. 10. When thou asketh thy parents for money, it is expedient that thou should’st ask for more than thou art in need of; for thou knoweth not what the day may bring forth.

It envelops and permeates the world in which we live. Land, water and sky are full of elemental music of many kinds and degrees of intensity. The wind rings through the responsive leaves and plays on the harp strings of the wavering reeds by the river; birds pour forth their lyric tunes to charm the waking morn; and the ocean waves swell in rhythmic chorus as if at the command of a master conductor. Music is a part of man’s nature which cannot be expressed in words or thoughts or any other way except the natural way as it appeals to man. The stretching of an animal’s skin over a hollow log and tapping it gently accidentally led to the founding of the drum. The whistling of the wind through reeds on the brookside led to the founding of the flute. Although we owe the real foundation of music to the Chinese, we are indebted to the Greeks for laying the basis of our modern music. The power of music has been acknowledged in all ages and by all races. The fact that almost every kind of music arouses some feeling and value in many ways is recognized today. Ruskin says, “Music washes away the dust of every-day life, and we can readily see the appeal it makes and the effect brought about in physical and spiritual natures. Who does not feel rested and refreshed by the singing of a good song? It arouses enthusiasm, ambition and helps to make hard tasks easy. “Music promotes friendliness and co-operation. One cannot have a grouch in his heart and a song on his lips, says Garside. In all forms of physical exercise the body responds more readily and wholly when accompanied by music. The players on the football field play better when there is cheering and singing on the side lines. In the past war, we are told, it was the singing of the soldiers and the playing of the bands that made the march into battle and danger easier for our boys. We also know that music has been found to be the only means of curing some cases of “nerves,” shell shock and melancholia when other sciences and drugs failed. The Scriptures tell us that when Saul was afflicted with the evil spirit it was David’s playing upon the harp that refreshed him and caused the evil spirit to depart. Not only does music affect man, but animals also are susceptible to its effects. The trained animals of the stage and circus are taught to act to musical sounds and even fits of anger may be calmed by soft melodies. It is the sound of the horn that thrills the dog and makes him eager for the chase. 97 Music in schools aids the social life and all forms of entertainn Mr. Claxton, the ex-Commissioner of Education, says: “Sooner or later we shall realize that music has as great practical value as any subject taught. A well directed study of music in all its branches gives a splendid amount of mental training and is now considered of equal value with other major subjects. Technical work develops muscle and muscle control. alM the co-ordination of mind and muscular activity. Theory and harmony give training along mathematical and scientific lines. Melody and interpretation have a wonderful cultural and artistic value. Music plays a very important role in our emotional and religious life. It arouses and expresses feelings not possible in any language. It soothes heals and comforts. Music plays well its part in every religious function. It is the call of the bell or the chimes that fill the air with feeling of holiness and devotion. The church could not mean what it does today without the welcoming call of the favorite old hymns. They prepare the hearers for the message of the sermon and make an impressive close. The baptism, the wedding, the funeral, and every religious service needs and uses music as a part o' the program. A Japanese sage once said: “Music brings heaven closer to earth and brings about a close relationship with God and man.” One writer says that “whenever one or two generations of children have been brought up in constant contact with real music, singing, playing and listening to healthful music, the present popular rag that does so much harm will disappear or be translated into real music.” Thus we see the importance and value of the art that has as its mission to cheer the sad, to comfort the aged, to brighten the dark rooms of the sick, to aid in winning wars of the just, to lighten our burdens with soft melody, to bring hope to the despairing, to instill noble thoughts and high ideals in the child, to give rest to the weary and recreation to establish peace. Thus we see that music is the joy of the universe. Lillian Carter, ’22. Things That Don’t Surprise Us???

Mother always used to call me So I wouUln't sleep too late, Hut now have to hurry And nothing goes on straight. When I come home to dinner I'm as hungry as a goat. But I can't swallow nothin' For the lump that's in my throat. I s'pose I didn't ’predate her Until she went away. 0 dear, I'd give most anything If she’d come back today. —Mary Allen Kirkland, ’22. What Would Happen If Mr. Baird didn’t call the roll in chapel? If Mrs. Wilson didn’t give an unexpected history test? If Miss Finley were to get angry in English class? If Miss Walston quit smiling? If Arthur House made S on everything? If Florence Hullett stopped preaching? If Vivian Springfield and Edith Shikle quit wearing short dresses? If Miss Moore failed to say, “Sum up the chapter” during Industrial History ? If Thelma Bryant was seen not powdering her nose? If Whorton Martin wasn’t seen talking to some girl? If Roy Dismukes wasn’t flirting? If Herbert Kenrick missed a question? If Gertrude Melton made S in Algebra? If Mrs. Edison wore a hair net? If Mr. Bryan would forget to say “See?” If Aileen Russell were to stop laughing? If Miss Price quit throwing her sweater belt over her shoulder? If Mr. Farris should forget to send two or three Rats up to fix the windows just when you are at the most interesting part of the lesson. 99 Ralph Waldo Emerson on Baseball JEFFERSON VS. JONES VALLEY We strutted down to Jones Valley In a most unusual way To take away a baseball game And pass away the day. We went to take the old ball game. For to lose it would be a sin. This was the first game of the season. And we surely had to win. They played a good, clean baseball game And treated us nice and square. Their diamond was like Grand Canyon But the “Wild Cats' didn’t care. The first four frames were a pitchers battle, And neither side, could score; Just then the Kitties” found their luck. Which made Jones Valley sore. DeShazo got a tliree-baser, Gillespie took a double. These were some of the largest hits. But they gave old V.” trouble. The game could hare been worse for Jefferson. For e.ram pie, one to one, But when the game was ended The score was eight to none. Jack Clay, our southpaw pitcher— One of the best under the sun— Is one of the main big reasons Why Jefferson went and won. So we strutted down to Jones Valley In this unusual way; And we came back a jolly set, For we had won the day. Just Wait Bivian Awtrey’s min oner her kinky king.

Call chewing gum at rest. B. When you have an inspiration quote Emerson. Longfellow, or Lowell; state some of the characteristics of Rilev, Poe and Thomas Nelson Page and tell the difference between “Mark Twain” and Whittier. C. If you want an (S) say that Washington Irving was the Father of American Literature. D. When all is sad and solemn, say something about Eugene Field’s “red vest” or Emerson’s “white snow.” Article II. A. Don’t ever “Duck”—she’ll shoot you. Never say “Unprepared.” Remember something will count more than nothing. B. (About Boston.) Don’t forget the wheel can’t turn without the Hub. 101 Article III. A. Procure, produce, provide, or get otherwise a visible mark on youi face intended for a grin (Mr. Ford’s laughing gas is a great aid) when to quote poetry Miss Moore does begin. Article IV. A. Look up everything about everybody that we have ever(y) studied in every book in the library. B. When there is an extra hard lesson and you don’t want to be called upon just let Hazel Cobb say, “This lesson is so in-n-n-terestin-n-n-g!” and Miss Moore will forget and get to talking and talk the rest of the period. Article V. A. You must think in terms of poetry. You must not think it is “raining rain’’ but “raining daffodils.” Article VI. A. The standards of the class are very high because we try to realize the ideal, a thing that cannot be done until we “idealize the real, and to do this we must each “hitch our wagon to a star”—keep our ideals and there we are. Observe all of these rules and if, after so doing, you deserve a S. Miss Moore will give it to you. Marion Pearson, 22. The Sophomore Crew If you'll follow up the records Of the Sophomore crew. You'll find the greatest crowd of Sophs That our school ever knew. You'll hare to give us credit For the many things we're done; And ire’re ready, always ready, For anything beneath the sun. We re not the kind to boast, friends. But we’ve got the grit and skill To win in anything, sir— The beans we never spill. We re always on the level, The steady Sdph’more crew, And u ork just like the—mischief At anything we do. And for the good ship “Jefferson” We'll work thru storm and wind; When’er our good ship needs ns We’ll never lag behind. We’ll never leave her, never. Not a Sophomore, Until our cruise is ended In nineteen-twenty-four. —Mary Nash, ’24. 102 Sweetness When I V'as a lass of Sheudaddie In the Ould Home acrost the sea, I met with my handsome Paddie And he fell in love o me! O I was a simple young lassie. A brave, gay laddie he. And the sweet, O the wooing o’ if fs the street o' my life to me! Ah, his eyes were blue as KHlarney, His hair a beautiful flame; His lips were apt to the blarney. With songs and kisses and blame, 0 I was a simple young lassie, A wooer, a lover he And the sweet, 0 the wooing o’ it Is the sweet o’ my life to me. One day we quarreled over Sheila, A maid who lived close by. And then Paddie wooed his shelala And left me to weep and cry. For I was a simple young lassie, A high-tempered mannie was he. But the sweet o’ the wooing o’ it Is the sweet o’ my life to me. Next day my Paddie was sorry And came back to me wi' his smile, And this nearly ends my story. For I’ve been his wife quite a while! O I am a good little wifie, A brave, dear husband is he, And the sweet, O the sweet o’ it Is the sweet o’ my life to me. —Octa Belle Cansler. ’23. 10.3 Parent-Teacher Association The Parent-Teacher Association has done some very splendid work this year under the President, Mrs. Walker, and officials of the staff. Their outline as planned has meant so much to the school and pupils. The Home Economics Department has been fortunate enough to receive a great deal of equipment as a gift of the association. The lunch room has also been aided by the association. The plan of having junior chairmen for the different sections of the county proves to be a great help to the senior chairmen. They have done so much to raise funds to be used toward beautifying the school campus, and the result will soon be seen. The “Standard of Excellency” as outlined by the Parent-Teacher Association has encouraged the work of the members and students. A pennant was awarded to the section which came nearest the hundred per cent mark based on the “Standard of Excellency.” Every member should be wearing a button signifying his membership and loyalty to the association. Of all the big things which have been done in the organization, the concert, in the hands of Mrs. Anderson and the junior chairmen, was the crowning event. You would be pleased to remember the program as presented. Miss Eppes, the music teacher, helped to make the program a success. The chorus club sang several numbers. There were two duets; dialogue, “Dad Says So, Anyhow;” one-act play, “Miss Popularity,” and Mother Goose’s “Story Book Ball.” Miss Proctor read “It’s All Over Heaven by Now.” Miss Katherine Brown read “Cherokee Roses.” The traveling singers, the best in town, made a very enjoyable conclusion to the program and replied to the applause until there was nothing to do but bow until the curtain went down. The concert was a great success financially. The work of the Parent-Teacher Association has been felt in more than one way in every phase of school life during ’22, and faculty and student body are grateful for it for its splendid achievements. —Katherine Brown, ’22. Ode to .Jefferson When the ( real sun has ceased to shine And not a hell is heard to chime; When all Jhe stars have lost their ( low And not a shell gems any shore; When fragrant breezes cease to blow And evening follows day no more; When all the flowers have lost their bloom. And all the world is wrapped in gloom; When limpid streams no longer flow, 1 may forget you—not before. —Sadie Cook, ’23. 104 Roy Dismukes—Mr. Baird, you’re wanted at the ’phone. Mr. Baird—But I’m too hoarse to talk. Roy Dismukes—You won’t need to; it’s your wife. A Hard Proposition.—Mr. Ford (in chemistry): “Now, we'll turn to iron.” Neil Anderson—I want to take Latin. Mr. Baird—My boy, you don’t need Latin; it’s a dead language. Neil—But I’m going to be an undertaker. Mr. Samuels—Luster, what would you do if you were in my shoes? Luster Whitley—Get ’em shined. Leon Broom—Coleman Cork can’t play on the ball team; he’s too light. William Snuggs—But he’d make a good stopper. Tyler Glenn—Betty Riddle puzzles me sometimes. Cecil Baker—Leon, are you going to play on the ball team? Leon Broom—Oh, I will play on the scrub team. Cecil—Scrubbing is what Brooms are for, anyhow. Mr. Ford—If I should make one little mistake in this experiment, it would blow me right through the roof. Now, come closer so that you may follow me. W. J. Baird, Esq. A letter for the principal: He bit his lip and stared; For the W’d been omitted And the a left out of Baird! 105 Back in the days when Mrs. Edison was married it was the custom for the officiating minister to kiss the bride. When Mr. Edison went to make arrangements with the minister he said. “How much is your usual fee? “I usually get ten dollars, said the minister. Very well. Now, there’s another little thing I should like to mention. Man would rather you wouldn’t kiss her after the ceremony. All right, said the minister, cheerfully, in that case I’ll charge you only five dollars. Corinne McDonald (in health work)—Miss Moore, 1 don't know what you want me to say in this examination. Miss Moore—Yes, but I don’t want you to say what I want you to say. I want you to say what you want to say. Literary Lapses Miss Finley—Ralph, how else could you say, “Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Bird thou never wert.” Ralph Dismukes—You ain’t no bloomin’ bird! Robert Taylor—Julius Caesar’s last words were “Ta, ta, Brutus.” Katherine McSwean—Scott wrote hysterical novels. Arthur Askew (in library)—I want to get Mark Twain’s book. “Piefaced Wilson.” Mary Pender (in library)—I want to get Rosetti’s poem, “The Blessed Damson.” Rose Meadows—Carlyle says that as a writer of lyrics Burns was second to none. I don’t remember None. Have we studied about None yet? SHAKESPEARE RE-SHAKEN Who steals my purse (miniature trunk) Steals powder, paint, and lipstick Which not enriches him And leaves me pale, indeed. Mary C. Denson to Elizabeth Green—Elizabeth, now that you’re getting older, you ought to make your dresses shorter. Helen Dismukes—Oh, Ben, how sweet of you to bring me these roses. They are so fresh! Why, I' do believe there’s a little dew on them yet. Ben Rives—Er, yes, but I’ll finish paying for them tomorrow, all right. Mrs. Wilson—What is a mummy? J. E. Bailey—Sounds like it might be a poppy’s wife. John Simpson—Dad, can you write your name with your eyes shut? Mr. Simpson—I think so. John—Well, shut your eyes and sign my report card. Mr. Ford—Floyd, what is a solid? Floyd DeShazo—Something that won’t pour. 10 � Mr. Ford (again)—What is hard water, Geddes? Geddes Self—Ice. Whorton Martin (patronizingly) —Homer, how many senses have you ? Homer Mize—Six. Whorton—But I have only live. Homer—Yes, I know. The sixth one is common sense. Mr. Bryan—Mr. Farris, you shouldn’t have your hog pen so near your house. Mr. Farris—That’s what the doctor said, but it hasn’t hurt the hogs yet. Fit non naacitur—At eh basket ball tournament a gentleman patted the littlest member on the head and said: “What’s your name, little fellow?’’ “Roland Jacks is my real name,’’ he said, “but my maiden name is ‘Skinny.’ ” Mr. Kidson (waiting outside on the day of Silver’s opening sale)—-They say the sale is going to last three days. Mr. E. E. Wilson (ditto)—Good heavens, and my wife has been inside only two hours. Mr. Baird—I believe in practical gifts. Now, 1 gave my wife money for a Christmas present. Gave it on the installment plan—a dollar down and a dollar a week the rest of the year. “Life is a hard and rugged road, But the Sophomores can steer it.’’ —From an Unpublished Contribution. Mr. B. and Mr. F. Look to me like Mutt and Jeff; And I think that any nut Knows which is Jeff and which is Mutt. A Rat writes to his adored one thusly (or words to this effect) : 'T would fill my heart with great delight To take you to the show tonight. I hare borrowed dad's Ford truck For us to ride in. Ain't that luck? Answer soon, and don't say ”.Yo.” For if you say you cannot go My heart will be a)i aching void. Your faithful lover, William Boyd.

As long as you have a vulnerable part which fails to resist outside conditions, you have a weak link in your resistance to disease. Thi weakness manifests itself in different forms in various individuals. A suscepti bility to colds is a common form in which lowered resistance expresses itself Costiveness is also very common. These minor ills, harmless in themselves, have a tendency to decrease bodily powers and vigor, reducing not alone bodily functions, but also the expression of our power to accomplish and our ability to live our lives to the fullest. Prevention is better than cure, even when Nature does the curing. CHIROPRACTIC VERTEBRAL ADJUSTMENTS as a preventative are unexcelled. By warding off lurking diseases and keeping the body tone and vigor up to par, the “weak links are allowed to strengthen and build up resistive powers. If you are subject to any of the above forms of lowered resistance, or any of the other numerous forms in which lowered resistance expresses itself, the best kind of life insurance which you can “take out is a course of CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS. CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS do insure life by prolonging it, fortifying it against sickness, or eradicating any disease which may already exist. We will be pleased to give a complete explanation of this wonderful new Health Science, and tell you frankly just what it will do in your particular case, all of this without cost or obligation to you.
