It is a beginning, and as the editors desire it to be a worthy model for future issues, they have tried to make it a complete, up-to-date specimen of a High School Annual. The idea is, that the volume be a publication of the Graduating Class, contain- ing Senior material especially, in addition to the many other departments. As stated, this is the first venture, and is necessarily not complete, in spite of our efforts. We are mindful of our youth and weakness, but are sure that the succeeding Senior Classes will regularly improve and enlarge THE SAND FippumEr, constantly seeking perfection. Indeed, let us always remember our motto: ‘A posse ad esse.” AAVLS GAL The Faculty Pror. JoHN J. Buatr, B.S. Superintendent of City Schools Born High Point, N.

This maid, mild and gentle, goes about her duties so unobtrusively that one would scarcely know she is near. However, still water runs deep, and we know not what lies beneath. So we need not be surprised to hear great things of her. Senior Class Historian. LUCILLE ERAMBERT SKINNER Calm, whatsoever storms may shake the world. When tired of Physies she gazes “obliquely over her left shoulder” for relief, and Stein (Stone) comes to the rescue. Fond of art, and believes in having a good time wherever she goes.

Secretary Class, 1909-’10; Secretary Class, 1910-11. ANNIE EVELYN TAYLOR She’s little but she’s wise; She’s a terror for her size. The terror has reference to her ability as a debater. If you are from Missouri, ask Annie, for honestly, she knows. Yes, she en- joys an argument—that is, if one Lionel Leo is not the other debater. Together with one other she leads her Class in History with a yearly average of 96. Secretary Class, 1908-09.

Class Poem Our last year’s speeding to a close, We lay aside our books wrth sorrow, Wondering what lies ahead— What prospect holds the distant morrow. With knowledge that we've done our best We turn from school to face the world, Knowing one and all must say “Well done!’ to each boy, each girl.. We've studied—our diplomas show— We've puzzled long o’er many a sum; Problems deep have lost us sleep, But now the day of days has come. So, sadly, this the Class of leven, From its Alma Mater parts, Proud it’s graduation time, And sorry, in its heart of hearts. 23 History of Class of 1911 Four long years have passed since the Class of 1911 entered the High School, on the morning of October 4, 1907. They have been years filled with labor; much midnight oil has been burned, but nevertheless we have pushed on with one aim continually in view, and now that we have reached the end of the four years’ course, we have only to reach forth our hands to receive our reward. The Class of 1911 has not been an unusual one, but there are one or two facts in its history that causes it to stand apart from all other classes. First, it is dis- tinguished from all the other classes that have gone before, in that it was the largest Freshman Class that had ever entered the High School up to that time: Second, the Class of 1911 claims the honor of being the first one in getting out a High School Annual; and it is the first class to graduate from the new building. Our Freshman record differs but slightly from that of other classes. According to the usual custom the Class was given a very warm if not cordial welcome by the Sophomores, when it timidly halted at the front gate seeking admission. After the reception at.the gate we passed on to the Faculty, whom we feared even more than the Sophomores. But these fears were soon banished, and we were made to feel very much.at home in the High School, under the watchful care of of Miss Emma Bonney. Because of the large number in the Class in its Freshman year a part of the Auditorium had to be given up to make room for it. This proved to be a great handicap, because the room was so large that we could not hear the teachers distinctly, and they found it almost impossible to hear our small frightened voices. We endured it until Christmas, when the Committeemen had compassion on us, and enlarged the two rooms adjoining the Auditorium. The Class was then divided, Miss Bonney taking charge of one division, and Miss McKoy the other. After this change the Class showed a marked improvement as to scholarship. There were no further events worthy of note in our Freshman year; it might be mentioned here that the boys of our Class have always taken a prominent part in Athletics even from the first, and have continued throughout the course. Also the Class was well represented in the ‘Boys’ Debating Club” that year. When. we returned in the Autumn of 1908, “high and mighty Sophs,” we were united once more, with Miss Agnes Carr as teacher. But our number had de- creased to about half and we had not only suffered loss in our own ranks, but also among the members of the Faculty. Although we regretted losing Miss Bonney, Miss Fitts and Miss McKoy very much, we welcomed Miss Jackson, Miss Boals, and later Miss Wade in their places. Our Sophomore year passed off without any notable events. The Class con- tinuing, as in Freshman year, to be well represented in Athletics and the “Debating Club,” especially by Fred Hale, who has since moved away, greatly to the regret of the Class. _At the close of our Sophomore year we were presented with the cards pro- moting us to Junior Class. Great was our joy, for now we felt that we were on the 24 “High Road” that led to Senior dignity. Now we caught the first glimpse of our diplomas in the far distance. The Class of 1911 has been unfortunate in the fact that it has had to give up its teachers and principals so often. When we assembled in the Autumn of 1909 we were greeted by Mr. P. E. Seagle in the place of Mr. Huff, who had so greatly endeared himself to all. But Mr. Seagle soon gained a place in the hearts and confidence of all the students. Miss Wade also failed to come back, Miss Boals returning in her place. The Faculty was increased by two new teachers, Miss Meares and Miss Goode. ’ There are one or two events of the Junior year which might be mentioned here. One especially—a final examination on the whole book of Algebra, a never to be forgotten day (so we thought), but we can afford to smile now, since we have grown old and more experienced, when we recall how pale and frightened we must have looked. And last but not least the Junior Banquet, given in honor of the Seniors of 1910, which in our eyes has never been rivalled, except, of course, the one tendered this year in our honor. On October 3, 1910, the Class of 1911, twenty-three in number, assembled, re- joicing in that long desired name—Seniors, and being looked upon by the Juniors with envy, respect by Sophomores and with fear by the Freshmen! Our spirits were dampened at first because the long coveted Senior privileges were denied us for a time. One of these was the privilege of walking in at the front door, but the reason for this was that there was no door to walk in through. The new building was being erected in front of the old one. Therefore there was no way to enter except through the back door. So we laid aside our pride and marched in with the Freshmen. But we were amply repaid after Christmas hol- idays, when the beautiful new building was completed and furnished for us. Here again we found changes in the Faculty; our much beloved principal, Mr. Seagle and two teachers, Miss Meares and Miss Goode, had not returned. Although we were sorry to give them up, we gladly welcomed into our midst the new teachers and Mr. Heman 8. Shaw as principal, who has proven himself fully capable of filling the position, and has commanded the respect and admiration of one and all. The Class was blessed this year in the fact that Miss Carr came back to claim us as her own for the third and last time, and to pilot us safely through the joys and sorrows of Senior life. In the early part of October the Class was called to order for the purpose of electing class officers. Hiram King, an adopted son of the Class of 1911, was elected President. He was also chosen as Editor-in-Chief of the ‘“‘Tileston Topics.” He has proven himself truly worthy of the trust and confidence of the Class. Although we entered the school this year feeling capable of overcoming and conquering all things we were soon groping blindly in Physics; by the first quarter some had decided that it was impossible to master it. But we were suddenly made to realize that it could be and had to be learned if we expected to graduate, when Mr. Shaw walked into the room one day and announced that he had come to preach a “Funeral Service” over the last Physics marks. It is needless to say that we turned over a new leaf, and by the end of the next quarter the Class showed quite an improvement. 25 One of the most important events in our last year’s work was the mid-term examinations, because our diplomas were in the balance. But we passed those safely over, only one of the Class dropping out, leaving twenty-two to finish the course. Taking all into consideration we feel that our last year has been our best. Although we do not claim to be a brilliant Class at all yet we have generally had a fair proportion on the Honor Roll. In Athletics too, the boys have had their due share of victories. Our Class has furnished both the football and baseball teams with some of the best EOS Also the managers of the teams. So on the whole, though not an extraordinary Class, we have not fallen below the average, and as we look back on our High School c ourse we all no doubt feel that we have at least made great progress since we entered as Freshmen in 1907, and that we have at least made a good start towards a higher career. Let us see to it that we profit by our four years together, and so live in the future as to bring only honor and credit to the Class of 1911. A NIGHT H{IDER 26 Senior Poesy There was a young student named Clark, Had always to go home in the dark, For because of her beauty, All boys thought it a duty, To chaperone her every walk. AvO. MM. There was a young girlie named May, Who lisped every word that she'd say, But she did it so cute, That I’d rob, and I'd loot, To be able to language that way. A OTM: Q@ Proposal, 1920 I asked her if she loved me true; “Shucks!”’ she said; “‘O bother! I'll tell you all that after you Have interviewed my father.” FOB AY he When Poney Boy proposed to me I heard him say his say, And then, to carry out the joke, I answered him ‘“‘Neigh, Neigh!” “None but the brave deserve the fare” The car conductor said, As smiling he grabbed the proffered coin— And punched the passenger’s head. A:.O. M. A.O. M. “To shuffle off this mortal coil,” The angry pretzel said, “In my case means just to be chewed, So I don’t care how soon I’m dead.”’ As OM, CHild ‘W tolets Soft-tinted harbingers, sent with the morning, Fresh from the woodland, moist with the dew; Symbols of faith in a new world aborning; Emblems of faithfulness, lasting and true. ’T was really but a “fruitless quest,” when I proposed to her; (The mem’ry of which moment makes the hot : blood bubble); Though now—that I recall 1t— twas not fruitless after all, For I surely got a “Lemon” for my trouble. A.O. M. 27 AmOxr Bb. “Coign of vantage” is a phrase I’ve often heard folks use, Expressing the choice picking of the way; But the only coin of vantage That I need in my line Is the kind on which Miss Liberty holds sway. A.O. M. Class Prophecy A task had been assigned me: Miss Carr had sa id the word; A monstrous task, yowll all agree, When all of it yowve heard. Oh! listen to the declaration that made my hands turn cold: Your task is this— Draw back the silken curtain From the days that are to be, And reveal to us the future Of this Class in History. No double faced Janus Was at hand to give me aid, No Pithoness on tripod Passed out oracles ready made, Nothing but grim fancy Could my arduous task make light ; Encircled in her nebulous arms My spirit could make the flight. Hazier and hazier Grew my fancy’s veil, Till everything in earth and heaven Seemed lost in a dreamy gale. After the mist and the cloud cleared away, My pulses leaped with delight, The Class Prophecy of 1911—Hooray! For Pegasus all bridled stood ready for fight. A moment we rested on Mother Earth, Then up to the heavenly blue. Up, up, up over mountain peaks Higher and higher we flew. Now we drifted along in the rarefied air With scarcely a thought for the morrow. When life is a dream with never a care, Why of “Old Father Time” need we borrow? But suddenly such a commotion In the heavens was seldom seen, My steed was wild with emotion, And the very air turned green. A monstrous array of flying machines, As man had yet only dreamed of, Came whizzing and buzzing and whirring be- tween The sunlight which streamed from above. Twas a race in mid-air ; The world’s renowned “Aviator,” they say, With the world-famous Novelist was Flying away. 28 Come, Pegasus, come We must join that race; Perhaps if we hurry We can see her fair face. No air ship built by mortal man Could ever distance cover In such brief time as my steed can; Beware, oh, ardent lover! So in a moment, or perhaps in two, Tis hard to keep time when yowre flying, We were up with the Aeroplane built for two And into two faces were prying. Willard Cantwell and Mary Worth! Two classmates I held most dear; Who would have thought it in High School Days! Mated geniuses resorted to air. After this shot, my hand grew unsteady, So gently touching bridle, We slowly descended to dear Mother Earth And found the old lady not idle. She had swept all. the landscape with South and West breezes And kissed all the icefields away, She had dressed hill and dale with verdure that pleases And the brooklets were holding May Day. Afar in the distance were milling Herds of cattle full many a score, As the lark to his mate softly trilling Whispered “Twilight is here once more.” When look! and I startled with awe! For leading her broncho between Came Oceana Cavenaugh, The ranchman’s bride and the cowboy’s queen. So free and easy the life there seemed Twas in my heart to stay, But with nineteen more lives to be foreseen I had to be up and away. Passing low o’er western down My eyes caught the glad array Of hundreds of people going to town To celebrate a festal day. The concert stage held two stars of note Of equal magnitude, And both were to play the selfsame day And not on the other intrude. For Katie Louw Meredith Could warble her lay While Edelweiss King The piano would play. We stood without, there was no room within, Till the clapping of hands was over; Then my raptured soul on the melody Was wafted from fields of clover— And I felt the air colder and colder grow, What was my muse-horse intending? The beautiful Southland was left behind— To the North Pole we seemed ascending. Over Mt. Saint Elias, With its everlasting cap of snow, Still north to the frozen Yukon And the land of the queer Esquimau. Into the regions of Klondyke, Away in this climate of cold, Was my classmate Leonard Merriman Digging and digging for gold. Such an attraction has this ore of yellow For mortals here below, I found it difficult my quest to follow, Watching his golden pile grow. But finally leaving the river With its glittering sands of gold, My course was again toward the Southland And its myriad blessings untold. The last I saw of Merry, As we took the backward track, He was shoveling down by the Yukon, With a violin upon his back. Over the Canadian Rockies And the Selkirks grand and hoar, Over the wonderful glaciers And the canon’s tumble and roar, East to the St. Lawrence river, Hundreds and hundreds of miles, Into the green Archipelago— The beautiful Thousand Isles. Now in this favored labyrinth Around the eddying pool, Was quite an imposing establishment “Man’selle Parmele’s Cooking School.” How glad I was to see Hva No one can well surmise Unless he had twice lost his dinner Flying about in the skies. Her pupils were just the prettiest girls, And they served the best things to eat! In attractive caps and aprons white, My! when have I had such a treat? Refreshed in body if not in mind, I was ready for flight again, So into the great Metropolis We went with might and main. 29 In the middle of Madison Square, A platform had been erected, Multitudes of people were crowding around, Some lively and some dejected. I pressed close by this motley throng To learn of so great attraction, As the crowd burst forth uproariously, And my horse was crazed to distraction. “Behold! Behold the suffragette!’ A thousand tongues burst forth, “Hear the would-be voter Tell us of woman’s growth.” When on the platform broad and high With the old-time saucy air, Dressed in mannish habiliments, Stepped Charlotte O'Neill, I declare! I, with the audience, spell-bound stood, Great men with emotion swooned, As with her burning eloquence Our spirits were near consumed. When the last siren word was uttered, Such a sight would your pity command, A struggling mass of humanity Trying to shake Charlotte’s hand. I followed to the home of suffering, And slipped in with silent tread, Down past rows of white cotted cells, Many tales of sadness I read. Just before I reached the swinging door That lead into the open street, A familiar form in uniform white Arrested my sudden retreat. On her soft brown hair the snowy cap rested, On her brow the cute little frown; Margaret Pleasants, the gentle trained nurse, Was surely winning her crown. After a chat over school days, King Sol had dropped down a pace, And his afterglow on the beautiful bay Could all, thoughts of sorrow efface. But my Muse and I had no time to spare, Watching the sunset grow, We had engagements uptown on the Av’nue At the mammoth millinery show. Madame Jordan’s hat creations Were dreams of beauty and art, But after half hour in her tasty salon I was ready (without tears) to depart. Maggie had changed since the dear old times, Her spirits had quieted down, The charge of a big establishment Brought care as well as renown. With a tender farewell for my old classmate And a sly glance at hats and laces, We were soon downtown to Battery Park Embarking for Coney’s horse races. A mission I had to this great round ring Where fortunes are won in a day, I learned, in passing, of a friend of mine, Whom I must see without delay. We had fellow feelings in days gone by And he had followed their bent, But I searched in vain through the jockey crowd Till my strength was well nigh spent. So back to Manhattan Island And another field of sport, To the popular Polo grounds The pride of Greater New York. The baseball season was in full swing, The sports were in their glory, Maidens fair with their latest beaux And old men crippled and hoary. My search at last was near its end For on the reporter’s stand Was Stein, the sporting editor, Pen and note book in hand. His dress was just as immaculate As im the days gone by, But his mustache had grown to such a length, And Gee! what a monstrous tie. After the Giants in white had lost With a score of two to one, Stein closed his note book with a bang, “Now,’ said he, “Well make a run.” So when dinner on Broadway was over, We were ready for Gothan’s best play, Now, Blue, old boy, I’ve something to show That will take your breath away. The curtain rang up on the first act, As we the box sheet passed, New York’s greatest sensation Being staged by the finest cast. Tier on tier of curious faces Filled that Opera House, The air was tense with expectancy, The place was still as @ mouse, But this nervous strain soon relaxed When the first short act was through. With a deafening round of applause And flowers that fell like dew. For with trailing robes of ivory white Spangled and ’broidered with pearls, Bowed the peerless actress, Diamonds sparkling in her curls. 30 There was no need to tell me The name of that creature so fair, Without prophetic vision, Long ago, 1 knew she'd stand there. Mary Houston’s histrionic talent Shone forth in amateur plays, Down in dear old Wilmington, Before the 1911 days. The rest of that play is but a dream Of faces and lights and fun, All revolving around Mary As planets around the sun. But a greater surprise awaited me Before we left the city. As we sauntered along down Broadway Whistling an Irish Ditty, “Hina Myers, Female Physical Director” These words arrested our attention. “Class hours from 8 to 11 Girls developed to any dimension.” We rushed into the building To see if it were really so, The Edna Myers of St. James Square That we once used to know. ‘Twas the selfsame little lady; She was training a hunared girls. They were jumping the board and riding the horse, And doing all kind of athletic twirls. But there I had to leave them, To battle along my way, Down through the crowded thoroughfare That leads to Gotham’s great quay. A magnificent “Ocean Liner,” Redundant with conscious power, Was ready to weigh her anchor However the clouds may lower. I sprang along the gangplank Just before the whistle blew; When after we passed “the Narrows,’ This floating palace most flew. Out on the pathless ocean, Away from the seagull’s cry, I could dream and dream forever In this expanse of sea and sky— When for shame, my musing fancy Was given a sudden check, Such billing and cooing was never heard Hacept on a “Liner’s” deck. IT turned my head slowly around To peep at the turtle doves, When in a steamer chair I espied A veritable pair of old loves. Her profile was turned to view, And I knew that combination, Tilted nose and golden braids Could belong to but one in the nation. Our own Margaret Duls had captured the prize, A widowered ambassador ; They were looking toward France for their honeymoon, The sweetest yow ever saw. We left the ship in mid-ocean And made for England with glee, When soon the cliffs of “Old Albion” Rose boldly out of the sea. Oh, happy, happy man, _ With Pegasus for guide, There is no fear on sea or land, Not in the whole world wide. Down into England’s country With the hawthorn hedged around, Under a bower of roses, A dear little cot we found. As we drew near this garden spot, Pegasus refused to go in, Why was my Muse-horse rebellious? Some one was wailing within, Amo-amas-amat Amamus-amatis-amant— Amabain-amabas-amabat— Amabamus-amabatis-amabant. Dear Muse-horse, I forgave him, For no matter how lovely without, Anger, chagrin and despair Within were having a bout. I risked a glimpse at the teacher, Who could all her peace forego, But Lela Woodcock was happy Hapounding Latin galore. On leaving the “Island Gem” To the Continent we turned our faces, Over mountain and glen, river and sea, Myriads of historic places. To the little picturesque country Nestled away in the Alps, My Muse would go in a gallop; I fear he scented more scalps. His foresight could not be surpassed, For just as we neared Lucerne, We collided with an Auto Which gave me the. greatest concern Until Gladys Taylor’s twinkling eyes Peeped out from an Auto bonnet, She and her husband were “doing the world, Peddling her latest sonnet. As soon as I mended my shins (And perforce a sonnet bought), Quoth my Muse, “If you go not to Florence, Your trip to Hurope is nought.” So over the snow-crested Alps And still south past the river Po Right to the “City of Flowers” On the banks of the rippling Arno. From this Itahan Treasure House Of Literature, Scripture and Art, And hillsides of b eautiful flowers, I wished never more to depart. But it came to my blissfud senses, (There’s no pleasure without alloy) A purpose my Muse had in coming, Beside the city to enjoy, For I saw in a quaint old building, In the middle of Artist Row, On the very topmost story, Something Italy did not grow. Lucile Skinner, the esthetic, In Florence studying Art, But the burden of her painting Hven yet will cause a smart. Two easels were before her, Of exactly the selfsame size, When creeping up behind her I could scarcely believe my eyes, For Stone from one canvas looked, And Charley from the other beamed; My heart filled with deepest pity, Such a lack of decision there seemed. Sadly we turned away, A long journey lay before us, Left Lucile painting away First one, then the other canvas. With a bird’s-eye view of the Mediterranean, Just a glimmer of Caspian and Black, Then a long sweeping flight over the Chinese Empire Without once looking back. Our goal was the land of the Mikado With its beauties unique and rare, And ere Luna had smiled o’er the ocean, My Muse and his rider were there. A night and a dawn on the Japanese Isles With its novelty just begun A day in this wonderful country “The land of the rising sun.” Under a grove of cherry trees With the blossoms falling around, Were a dozen or more little Japanese girls Playing about on the ground, The Missionary school was running about, Taking the noonday recess, But the teacher in charge of the dear little tots I know you could never quess. Twas Isabelle Shaw, she had won many stars In her four years through W. H. SN. Now her talent she gives to spread the “Light” In the Isles of the flowered dress. But my time was too short to tarry here Amid such bewildering scenes, Over crested wave and thunder peaks Pegasus flew south to the Philippines. United States’ latest possessions Viewed from the heated air, Rested like ducks on the bosom of the lake, When the storm cloud is over and the sky bright and fair. On which, on which Isle would my Muse-horse linger Where so many spread out in array, But no doubt from this cause his peace seemed to shatter, When we dropped on the Isle Panay. The chief of the native forces Was returning from the war, Youths and maidens in holiday dress, Were shouting their very thoughts raw. When the din had somewhat subsided, In the distance I soon espied, An army of brown-looking soldiers, And continuously they cried: “Our hero he won de battle, Our hero he won de battle, Our hero’s de bravest hero Dat ever you did saw.” I could not understand the sensation I felt for the half-savage band, Nor why I so longed to get nearer That officer in command. But hurrying up with the natives And a skip to their lively tune Brought me face to face with my dear old Pal, General Leighton Lee Boone. So the Philippines claim our dear Booney, And Annie Taylor his wife; She no more lends him German sentences, But helps quell the Island strife. In the dream book of the future With its roster white and fair, All the class of nineteen leven— All but one, have answered “Here.” We did not find him in Europe Nor afar in the Hast did he roam, He was not on the isles of the ocean So Pegasus lit out for home. Swifter than homing pigeon Swifter than eagle by far, Swift as light when into the night He sends his beams from a star Came through the beautiful ether On the wings of immortal light, Back to the dear, dear homeland— For Pegasus has made the flight. Back to the Wilmington High School With its memories forever dear, Not without trepidation, Just a little touch of fear. The girls’ lawn lay before me Of beautiful verdant hue, Around the velvety center Bloomed flowers still wet with dew. Out from the massive building Resounded the noisy tread OF pupils going to Chapel To hear morning lesson read. We followed close in behind them As the last was taking his seat, But numbers of strange unknown faces Argued a sudden retreat Till my attention was drawn to the rostrum As we heard the last bell ring; There with professional air and lordly mien Stood my classmate, Hiram King. Principal of Wilmington High School He stood with ruler in hand, An example of earnest endeavor To all the youths in the land, My Muse-horse stood ready to leave For his last flight through the air, “Superintendent of Wilmington Schools” said he, 5 “Professor John J. Blair.” Excelsior (With no apologies to the chaff for the cha,fing.) The shades of night were falling fast, As through the same old village passed A youth who at each cafe cried “Good man, have you. for sale inside Excelsior?” His paunch was lean, his tongue was wild; His voice his appetite beguiled With lullabies right softly sung In accents of that unknown tongue, Excelsior! In happy homes he viewed the spread Of meats, of vegetables, of bread; But in his eye a hunger shone, And from his lips escaped a groan, Excelsior! “Try not Corn Flakes!” the old man said; “But try you, rather, baker’s bread; Its nourishment can’t be denied.” But loud that clarion voice replied, Excelsior! “O stay” the maiden said, “and sup— Stay! hang your tattered banner up; We've many foods that you can try,” The youth but questioned eagerly, Excelsior? “Beware the Force with which you eat! Beware the snares of Shredded Wheat!’’ This was the watter’s last good-bye. A weary voice still gave reply, Excelsior! At break of day, as homeward bound The night-hawks from their nightly round Wended their way ’neath brightening sky, A voice cried out, triumphantly, Excelsior! They searched, directed by the sound, And soon our traveller was found, Grasping a box with death-like vise, Which bore upon it this device: Excelsior! There, from the sunrise until late, Our hero sat and calmly ate; Then laid the empty package by, And rose, and murmured with a sigh, Excelsior!

Vanity of Vanities, all is vanity.” The Sophomore “Green as the flower of the field, As well as the waters of the sea.’’ The Freshman “Tt is not the vocation of children to be silent.” K. M. “To have a beau should be the chief existence of a woman.” H.W. and. C. “Aim at the highest of singing.”’ A. A. (Miss) “Be faithful to duty, and all is well.” AS: “My only books were women’s looks.” GaH. “T am Sir Oracle; when I open my mouth let no dog bark.” (Projajel limes: ‘“A woman’s whole life is the history of affections.” CON. “Come unto me all ye that are in trouble and I will lye out of it for you.” L. M. “Speak to no one in class and all is well.”’ ‘Would that Latin had never been born. Cornbread it.’’ G. H. 60 Drags and Mear Drags “Mary Wright Taylor’’—why not ‘‘Mary Taylor Wright’’? When Charlie comes around, Nell says, “O burn it (Burnett) Charlie,” but. it only makes him bow down (Bowden) and worship her. k Alderman Harris is very much infatuated with Queen Guinevere (Genevieve). k Never comes a hard lesson but Kennet h goes to buck (Buck) which he knows he oughten (Otten) do. | Ditty Hall has shown good botanical sense by choosing a gardener (Gardener) for his helpmate. When Penny gets a slow horse it makes him gnash (Nash) his teeth and say “‘Y’da (Ida) heap rather have a fleet (Fleet) one.’ Teacher, to K. Manning: “What flavor do you like best for soup?” K. M.: ‘‘Give me parsley (Parsley) every time.”’ Solomon has not yet been wise enough to capture McKay’s heart (Hart) but he has discovered that Solomon’s temple is on the side of Marguerite’s head. Ralph, on his knees: ‘“‘Annie Leah, you have me at your mercy (Mercer). James has at last stopped lingering in the hall (Hall) to wander by the little brooks (Brooks). Horace says that to be a good cooper (Cooper) you must always saw your (Sawyer) boards smoothly. When the girls were picking their partners for the Junior-Senior Banquet, Vida said: “‘Shan’t none (Shannon) have Jack.” William Toomer doesn’t like the orchestra because it has no harper (Harper). K You may hear F. Jones whispering to himself anytime, “Mary is the belle of my (Bellamy) heart.” Louis’s motto—To drive dull (Duls) care away, drink a stein (Stein) of beer. Lassie must not let Pinky turn her (Turner) head. 61 One special feature of the Junior-Senior banquet was a Stow-away contest between Burnett and Smith. Burnett proved his superior capacity by winding up with half a cake to the good. A wild (Weil) and a merry (Merri) man—a happy combination. Edith suffers badly from the blues (Blue) when the team goes away. Even the crag (Craig) and the glen (Glenn) respond to the amorous call of Cupid. In special cases Leon S. believes in lynch (Lynch) law. k Hobble, hobble, trip, trip, swish, bing, ah! Oh thou hobble skirt getting on a car! Rip! rip! split! tear! stepping too far; Hobble skirt, hobble skirt, siss, boom, bah! Henry Newton muses ‘‘Can I die (Canady) without Mary?” k k Leonard Merriman was seriously thinking of taking up wood-craft when he finished school but he has lately decided to take up Edna-craft (Craft) instead. Wanted—A nice girl, by one who can’t well (Cantwell) do without one any longer. Margaret says that the most pleasant (Pleasants) form of government is to be ruled by a King (King). I went to the animal Fair, Yes, John and Bryana were there; With his violin case and music roll, His smiling face and musical stroll; His violin wheezed, she fell on her knees, That was the end of that love affair. V. Thomas should not run into debt so. Now, every way she looks she sees a bill coming (Bill Cumming). Pupil: “Miss Weill, what is your favorite measure ?” Miss W.: ‘‘Bushel (Boushall).”’ Julia Faison sits and sings softly to herself. ‘Every little (Little) movement has a meaning to me.” K When Marcelle looks at Tom you can tell she has a strange (Strange) feeling at her heart. 62 Annie Taylor has about decided to take Leighton for her boon (Boone) com- panion. K Harl, reflectively: “I wonder if Louise is worth (Worth) a penny (Penny).”’ K Charles has become a walker (Walker) in order that he may go with Alice and load her (Loder) with attentions. 2k Bryana’s favorite way of saying ‘‘Handsome is that handsome does,”’ is ‘‘Pretty is that pretty do (Perdew).” When John chooses a gay lord (Gaylor) he looks well (Wells) to it that she is a belle (Isabel). We wonder if Carrie H. is changeable or will she always remain white (White). When asked if she intends to buy Charlie, Athalia answers ‘Yes, I'll make my bid good (Bidgood). Miss G.: ““Why, what is the matter with your eyes, Miss Jenkins ?”’ Miss J.: “I’ve just been out to blear (Blair) them.” k If you ask Louisa’s opinion of Fenley she will grant (Grant) you that he’s green (Greene). Harry Shaw has stopped selling candy and taken to pepper (Pepper) and jewels (Jewel). Che Summer Girl SpEAK-ETH NOT OF THE SUMMER GIRLIE: She toils not; neither does she spin—But reclin-eth lazily in a hammock and munch-eth the bon-bons her admirers had collect-eth the necessary wherewithal to annex. She trot-eth a-horseback through the mountains; she whip-eth the streams for trout; she punish-eth the presuming tennis-ball; she bowl-eth, and tir-eth her- self at golf. Wild flowers she pick-eth; and pull-eth the daisy petals. She shoot- eth, and perchance, wad-eth in the brook. She listen-eth to taffy the village swain emit-eth (chuckling behind her hand); and fill-eth him with awe at her rendition of “Hearts and Flowers” on the resort harpsichord. She read-eth novels; she day-dream-eth, and build-eth chateaus in the ozone—then topples them over. She get-eth acquainted with the hotel clerk, and let-eth him introduce her to many. She gossip-eth about her neighbors, and talk-eth about their apparel; she smil-eth at some, and snub-eth many. She play-eth bridge; letter upon letter she writ-eth, and mail-eth post-cards galore. She whin-eth for an apparently expected epistle— when there are worshippers around, and laugh-eth in her sleeve at the worried glances they exchange. She danc-eth, like unto Terpsichore of old; she refus-eth the waltz to one man, pleading indisposition, and the next moment gaily whirl-eth by in the arms of another. She flirt-eth (terribly!) ; and engag-eth herself numerous times. She exhibit-eth a bathing costume of charming tones—but minds her Mamma, and doesn’t get her feet wet. She sit-eth upon the sands, under an effective moon, and affect-eth to absorb the spiels delivered by the ribbon-clerk. She yacht-eth, and fall-eth overboard, to be immediately rescued by the handsome young thing in white duck. She adjust-eth her bonnet to the proper angle, and promenad-eth the board-walk, appearing not to notice the men who would ogle. She devour-eth ice-cream, and soda in all its phases. She sigh-eth; she yawn-eth ; she plead-eth “ennui”! She scold-eth Mamma for close chaperonage; she chuck-eth Papa’s chin for an extra stay at the beach, and pin money. She sing-eth; she hum- ies; and mak-eth all manner of chatter. She tak-eth in hay-rides and cider parties; she call-eth some men pills, and others perfect dears; is crazy over some, and wild about others. She study-eth not; nor think-eth of school books east aside prior, to the vacation season. Other things—good, bad and indifferent she do-eth, Yet SOLOMON, IN ALL Hts GLory, Was Nor ARRAYED LIKE ONE oF THEsE. A.O. M. Statistics Age: Average, 15 years, 3 months.

After walking for some time they came to a wood (Wood) in which they found and examined a mimosa (Moses) tree. Strolling on they came to a gully (Gulley) filled with wild (Weill) flowers of every description. Having gathered several of the most rare of these, they soon came to a cotton field, where they went in to steal (Steele) a bushel (Boushall) of bolls (Boals). Becoming tired, they next proceeded to the car (Carr) track, that they might take the trolley for home. During the ride they suddenly heard a loud cronk-cronk (Cronk), and Miss Jenkins looking out of the window saw Monsieur Barozzi speeding along in an auto; she blared (Blair) so that Miss Atkinson was forced to remark, “Oh, pshaw! (Shaw).” E. C. Monpay TUESDAY Monpay Monpbay TUESDAY WEDNESDAY FRIDAY Monpbay WEDNESDAY THURSDAY Mon.—WED. WEDNESDAY Monpbay THURSDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY MonpbDay TUESDAY THURSDAY Wep.—F RI.
