So under a great handicap, the staff of 1921 has striven with earnest endeavor to mal e this volume a collection of fond recollections and pleasant mem¬ ories of days spent in dear old Wil¬ mington High Schocl. E D I C AT I O It is a good thing to be rich, and a good thing to be strong. But it is a belter thing to be beloved by many friends. — Euripides. John J. Blair was born at High Point, North Caro¬ lina, of Quaker parents. His great grandfather was the founder of Guilford College, which influenced for a long while the life of that section of the slate. Mr. Blair began his education there and finished it at Haver- ford College, Pa. He was endowed with artistic ability of a high order, and possessed the artistic temperament to a great degree. These traits influenced his administration of the schools which he had in charge, and were largely responsible for his emphasis on harmony in all his relations with parents, children and teachers. His insistence upon this made noticeable in the deportment of the children gen¬ erally a courteous demeanor and a kindly attitude toward animal and plant life. Mr. Blair’s influence in Wilnrngton was felt in help¬ ing community efforts, in inspiring a sentiment for a more beautiful city, in creat ng a desire for out of door sports, and in introducing into occasions of a public nature a gentle sociability that was bred of his courteous soul. The schools owe him JOHN JAY BLAIR Page eight Page nine MALCOLM G. LITTLE PRINCIPAL MAJOR W. A. GRAHAM SUPERINTENDENT Page ten Faculty Mr. Malcolm G. Little, Principal Mrs. Blake D.

Three typewriters going at once. The editor-in-chief seated on a chair without a back to it, her feet perched on the rail, spec- tackles crocked, and an ink spot on the end of her nose. She appears to be working. Florence Seegers soaking pictures in water and pasting them on panels, then putting them under a pile of books with a bang so that they will be sure to stick. Pigeon Love reading jokes and giggling, thus greatly entertaining the hard workers. Margaret Toon trying to convince us that she is thinking of somebody else besides somebody. Bo Shepard reviewing the whole athletic program of the boys out loud, and Mary Hardin reciting the year’s work of the girls’ Athletic Association out loud. William Smith adding up money collected, so that everybody within hearing distance (here’s hoping they aren’t many) may know how we stand financially. Gladys Williams giving a general estimation of everything. Everybody kicking over chairs, knocking down books, dropping pencils and making one grand rush for the door as Sparrow enters with samples from the domestic science room. Susan Divine and Florence splashing water all over the table, finally ending in spilling it on the floor. Hansel biting her pencil and pushing her sleeves up a little farther, if such is possible, and telling everybody to get to work or GET OUT! Pigeon giggling. Henry saying his favorite word! Representatives from the Junior Class coming in and asking what they must do. Nobody answers. Susan smearing paste on Bo’s face. Result: a free-for-all fight, ending with the paste still on Bo’s face. Phoebe Lutes telling in order the places she has gone for ads, starting with the railroad station and ending at the shipyard. At same time Evelyn Mann is giving her opinion of those who will not give us an ad. Henry Brehmer coming in chewing, asking if there’s anything to eat. Edward Koonce, Snake, Jimmy, Caroline Bear, Elizabeth Croom, LeRoy Brothers and Marion Williams just naturally making a noise. MR. LI 1 TLE entering. Close your eyes!

ADIES and gentlemen and others, lend me your ears. This is a true history of the trials and tribulations, the perils and escapes, the joys and the sorrows, the victories and the defeats of the Class of ’21. All ye who are, or are going to be freshmen, sophs, juniors and seniors, listen and learn! For truly this is a wonderful class. (Mr. Little will attest to that.) Well: This batch of future presidents, professors, orators, statesmen, et cetera, et cetera, entered the sacred precincts of the W. H. S. on the morning of the first of October, 1917. They were very confident in themselves, but that was about as far as it went. They cer¬ tainly did not have any confidence in anyone else. For hadn’t they heard of the terrors of Mr. Little, and were they not going to have five teachers instead of one? One was bad enough, but five! Did they enter in fear and great trembling? Let me pause to inform you, dear listeners, that they most certainly did. After classes were arranged it was worse. For were not the Hemenway and Union students mixed up together? And wasn’t it widely known that a chronic state of warfare existed between these two domi¬ ciles of learning? Yea, it was known but not heeded. What did our worthy (?) prin¬ cipal or our five also worthy (?) teachers care? Not a ghost of a whiff! Nay, less than that, nothing at all! But it must be as it was. So they buried the hatchet and buried it deep, with grim ceremonies, and all sang a hymn of friendship instead of a hymn of hate. (“And a pleasant time was had by all.”) So passed freshman. And for the benefit of future generations let me inform my hearers that this was also the year (A. D., 1917) that the ears of the feminine animal, commonly known as woman, dis¬ appeared from the earth. During sophomore everyone was so occupied in looking wise and solemn (some even adopted horn-rimmed spectacles for this purpose) and in showing off their fine airs that there was no time for anything else. So this was a rather uneventful year. But along about the first of May they caught the rumor of the junior-senior banquet. Knowing that the following year they would have to prepare one (perhaps), they hung around and peeked at the juniors to see what they were doing, but were unceremoniously told to move on, and I need not say they did. Vowing vengeance for this, they passed sophomore. Now came that much desired goal—junior! This year they would give a wonderful banquet, and would tell the lesser lights (meaning by this, the sophs and freshies) to move on, even as they had been told. So nothing was done during junior but plan for this delight which it seemed was to rival the feasts of Alexander in gorgeousness. At last Page tu enl))-eight it came. Everyone was in a flurry of excitement. Finally the day came to an end without rain. (Wonder of wonders!) The juniors and seniors gathered in the upper hall and at 8:30 p. m. the doors opened and they entered mto a land of enchantment. Oh, it was the most wonderful feast (to them) that ever had or ever would be “pulled off” in the history of the W. H. S. This happiness lasted during the remainder of junior. Now the class straightens. They are seniors. During the summer all the girls have “put up” their hair (mostly on curlers, some in knots). It was wonderful to see how their hair had grown. Some girls had such an abundance that it was feared Moses would have to enlarge the entrances. And the majority of the boys had adopted long trousers. They had always longed for the much coveted privilege of coming in the front door. Now they had that and also the senior “dignity.” It may be said (and noted) in passing that one and all took on this dignity, some consciously, others unconsciously. Senior was a wonderful year. They reveled in class meetings and other badges of seniority. They decided to publish an annual, this class being the second class to attempt one. The junior-senior banquet was a great event in their lives. It was a splendid banquet. It was the next best banquet ever. (Ours being the best.) Toward the end of the year the class was divided into two groups. One group hated to leave school, and the old familiar scenes they had enjoyed for four years. But others, I am sorry to say, took an unholy delight in counting the days and hours until the night when they would receive a diploma and be “free.” It must be said that some studied about this so much that their lessons were neglected. But everyone managed to get through somehow, and on the night of the seventeenth of June, Wilmington saw the finest and largest class in the history of the school pass out into the school of life. Some might fail, but most of them were destined for great things. Nida Packer. Page Iwenty-nine Impressions of the Senior Class I AUBREY Kelly —Rock of Gibraltar and boiled collards. Tiger lilies.

Page lhirt )-one Last Will and Testament BY LORETTA MCDUFFIE H E, the Senior Class of 1921, who are now sadly departing (to the probable relief of everybody in genera] and Miss Jenkins in particular), do hereby will and bequeath the following, with the earnest hope that they will be received and cherished gratefully: To Jack LeGrand, Ida Hinnant leaves her reputation as the child prodigy. Fannie Johnson wills to Charlotta Josenhaus her well-known curls and georgettes. Mary Hardin wills her unfailing cheerfulness and good nature to Hazel Brittain. Lina McEachern, Phoebe Lutes, and Evelyn Mann regretfully leave to Lilian White, Adrienne Hanby and Dorothy McNair their places at the windows of Senior II. If practiced faithfully, great skill will be acquired in the art of hanging out to hail every good looking passer-by. Elizabeth Graham bequeaths her famous beauty to Isaac Hughes. Gladys Williams wills her tongue to Carolyn Price. It would be advisable to “handle with care,” as under another such stream as the one Gladys has put on, it will wear out. Margaret Powell bequeathes to Rebecca Taylor her quiet, dependable helpfulness. To Helen Lovering, Evelyn Harnss wills her elaborate coiffure. Her pep she’s will¬ ing to leave to anybody that needs it. Victor Zoeller bequeathes his place as chauffeur for the belles of W. H. S. to Tom Wagner. Frances Cheek wills to Aileen Hopkins her friendly disposition. Margaret McClammy leaves her bright smile to Elizabeth Kelly. George Moore wills his bashful blushes to Biggs Holden. To Mary Bellamy Baggs, Berenice McDonald leaves her reputation for dreamy quietness. Virginia Addison wills her delectable accent to Donald Koonce. Caroline Bear bequeaths to Elizabeth Silverman her vivacity. James McKoy, Leona Colwell and Virda Brinson all leave their leaning toward the musical to Ruth Marshall. Gladys Elliott bequeaths her Packardishly haughty stare to Nannie Burr. Nannie B., for heaven’s sake, never use it while riding in a flivver! It isn’t done, you know. Hansel Cockey leaves her picturesqueness and enviable efficiency to Guy Cardwell. Andrew Harriss and Henry Brehmer will their places as idols of the Senior II girls to 1 homas Wright and William King. To keep these it will be necessary only to allow the girls to do their lessons for them and to make brilliant remarks. Eunice Horne leaves her modest demeanor to Martha Stack. Katherine Mclnnis and Nida Packer leave their friendship, which is only compared to that of Damon and Pythias, to Julia Abt and Helen Land. Louise Munson leaves her “stickabihty” to Velva Polly. Page ihirty-lwo Sara Love wills to Lawrence Schuster her reserved seat at afternoon session. Wallace Hopkins leaves his self assurance to Spencer Addison. LeRoy Brothers and Christiana Wood bequeath their hypnotic powers over Miss Jenkins and Mr. Davis, respectively, to Martin Pearsall. These should prove decidedly useful in the future. do Sarah Wells, Gladys Fore leaves her much envied high marks. Dorothy Boon wills her ability to sleep peacefully through Physics period to David Jordan. Ruth Brown leaves to Paul Starret a superfluity of avoirdupois. M aie Sinclair bequeaths her faithful persistence to Samuel Ruark. Dorothy Banck leaves to Carl Schuster her gracious manners. Susan Divine wills her extensive wardrobe and cuteness to Margaret Patten. Edward Koonce bequeaths his vampiness to Victor Sullivan. Harriet McDonald wills her air of undisturbed calm to Lolita Cox. M arion Williams leaves her famous dimpled smiles (not to mention the even more famous sneezes) to May Walker. Margaret Toon and Loretta McDuffie leave to anybody willing to take a chance their adventurous spirit. (Synonym, foolhardy, which may be more appropriate.) William Smith wills his ability to blush at a moment’s notice to Fred Bissenger. Elizabeth Croom bequeaths her studiousness to Virginia Bishop. M arion Orrell leaves her moving picture magazines to the incoming seniors. These are to be distributed around and fought over during study period. Aubrey Kelley and George Shepard leave their athletic prowess to Murlin Creasy. Elizabeth Croom bequeathes her studiousness to Virginia Bishop. Henry Duls leaves to Price Benton his cleverness. Fannie Armstrong wills her demureness to Lucy Hall. Arlene Kuck and Florence Seegers leave their all-around school-girlishness to Dorothy Smith. Fannie Northrup bequeaths to Carlyle Blomme her big-eyed baby stare. Leonard Hannah and Graydon Horne regretfully leave their French books to anyone who will treat them with respect and care. Edward Westbrook leaves his delightful nickname to Hampton Davis. Parra Lee Bessellieu wills her ability to “get by” to Fred Bissenger. Delavo Love bequeaths his place as cheer leader to Walter Seegers. Remember that you must put up a bold front regardless of “that gone feeling” which comes when you face the congregation—I mean audience! Vera Wilkins leaves her nonchalance to be distributed among the timid. Ithmar Bundy bequeaths her sweet quaintness to Sarah Gulley. Inez Williams leaves to Lila Eure her self possession. And besides these individual gifts, the Class of ’2 1 wishes to present to the school its orderly behavior, gravity, and dignity—especially its dignity—these to be held in trust for the 1922 seniors. Our sense of importance we will keep. It will be unnecessary to give next year’s class any, as from observation they seem to have a superabundance already. Page ihirty-three Senior Class Play N the evening of June 5th the Senior Class Play will be given on the high school lawn. From the number of plays submitted, “Beyond the Gate” was chosen as the cast of that one could embrace the entire Senior Class. “Beyond the Gate” is a morality play by Irene Jean Crandall, and the plot is that of Work overcom¬ ing Idleness. The dances of the Poppies, Fancies, Sleepy-Heads, Snug-a-Beds, Clowns and Harvesters, under the direction of Miss Rebecca Symmes, add greatly to the beauty of the play. The play is under the efficient management of Mrs. Applewhite and Miss Jenkins. The cast of speakirg characters: Day Dream. ARLENE Kuck Corinna. Elizabeth Graham Idleness. JAMES McKoY Work.

Plumb always has something about everything to say, And Mr. Holden knows better than anyone else any day. Lizz,y Warren is our ice cream kid. If we voted for the wittiest Kid King would get the bid. And now you would say the same if you knew her, The sweetest girl in our room is little Lila Eure. Armstrong is our fastest—on his feet, you know— And Victor with his jitney is always ready to go. Hazel isn t the nut as her name suggests, Sarah s little gestures are the cause of many jests. George’s hair is like the ocean, with a kiss on every wave He has a mighty hard time making it behave.

Of the five hun¬ dred and thirty-one pupils entering, one hundred and twenty-nine were sophomores. We began the term full of expectation and began to plan events for the year. Each class organized and elected its officers, who were a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. We had our share in athletics. Two of our girls were on the basket¬ ball team and one is expected to become captain next year. Several of our boys were on the basketball, football and baseball teams, and all did excellent work toward building up and gaining records for the school. Just as we have striven to do our best in athletics so we have done in our other work, and all hope to become juniors next year. Grace Grier, Sophomore 1.

Hall Richard Wortham Page forly-severt Freshman Class History HEN the Freshman Class of 1921 entered the high school it didn’t know what to expect. Older brothers and sisters had stuffed them with frightful tales of afternoon sessions and hard lessons, so they set their noses to the grindstone and ground. Perhaps they made a good beginning. “Bad beginnings make good endings,’’ as the saying goes, but maybe the reverse is true; anyway, everyone began to slow up at the end of the term (not having found it as hard as they expected), and a surprising number parted company in the middle. Tearful applicants thronged the office doors, “O, Mr. Little, I want to be in John’s room”; “ 1 his exam, mark is too low”; “I don’t see why I didn’t get as good a mark as Mary.” Be it as it may, we were ruthlessly torn apart and dumped into a foreign room, only to find that the desks were rickety, the light bad, and nothing as good as in good old Freshman III, though I dare say that to unprejudiced eyes there was little or no differ¬ ence. For days after the upheaval no one was heard to say: “I guess I left my notebook in Freshman VI,” or “Guess what I did this morning? I marched right into Freshman IV 7 , took off my hat and sat down in my old seat.” These sallies were greeted by up¬ roarious laughter on the part of all hearers. In February if you happened upon the school at 12:05 you wou ' d have seen the whole student bcdy lined up half-heartedly going through exercises while the physical director (or whatever you may choose to call him) almost broke his lungs shouting, “Make it snappy, now!” Perhaps that was why the exercises were discontinued in April and we were allowed to resume our old habit of loafing around and engaging in a variety of small talk at recess. At the end of the year (Hurrah!) our minds were divided between cheer and worry. Cheer, because our vacation was near at hand: worry because we might not pass exams or m ght have to repeat in algebra next year. There is one thing, however, about which every one thinks and hopes the same—“Dear as our school and classmates are, we will be glad to turn our backs upon them and face a joyful vacation.” Ruth DeWitT, Freshman II.

V___ Review of Football Season, 1920-1921 Considered from every point of view, the past season was very successful. Entering upon our second year of football we met some of the strongest teams in the state and were able to win five of the eight games played. The three games we lost were lost by one touch¬ down. We scored 319 points to our opponents’ 70 points. I HE KlNSTON Game. —Playing our first game away from home, with a practically green team, we were defeated by the score of 7-0, Kinston scoring in the first three minutes. H owever, the game was not disappointing as it showed the possibilities of our team. The WlLSON Game. —This game was played at home and Wilson was defeated 61-0. They were completely outplayed. The GOLDSBORO Game.— Going to Goldsboro with four regular players missing was no easy task. But we were able to hold them to a 21-12 score. SECOND Kinston Game. —We met Kinston here, determined to wipe out the 7-0 defeat early in the season. Instead of their going up against a green team now, they were opposing a well-balanced football machine. We defeated them 59-0. SECOND Wilson Game. —We met Wilson next and they were easier in Wilson than down here as they were defeated 95-0. This was the first game in the elimination series for the Eastern Championship. The Hamlet Game. — Going to Hamlet for our second elimination game, we were determined to wipe out the 19-12 score of last year. In this we were successful, defeating them 52-0. The New Bern Game. —We met New Bern here on Thanksgiving Day in the third elimination game. There were 3,500 people who saw the game, the largest crowd Page fifly-threc ever assembled in Wilmington to watch a football conte:t. The game was fiercely con¬ tested, but New Bern was finally defeated by the score of 20-14. The Chapel Hill Game. —We met Chapel Hill, the state champions for the past two years, before another large crowd. The game was ev6n more fierce than the New Bern game. I heir heavy team finally won over us by a score of 28-20, and, at the same time won the Eastern Championship. Review of Wilmington Players BlSSINGER, Center. 1 his was “K. B.’s” first year in football but he showed up extremely well, outplaying practically every opponent. On account of his playing ability he was elected captain for next year. YOPP, Right Guard. “Fatty’’ was the big boy of the team, weighing 235 pounds. H is playing ability was in accordance with his size. Z.OF.LLER, Left Guard. “Bab,” although extremely light, played well in all the games. A hard player. Hughes, second All-State Right Tacl(le. “Ike” was one of the best tackles in the stale. He was a fierce charger and never missed his man. Howard, Left Tackle. “Jim” is a hard player and was always found in the thick of the scrimmage. HOLDEN, Right End. “Abby” was a terror on the defense and broke up many of the opponents’ end runs. HEWLETT, Left End. “Andy” was a good defensive end and also never missed a forward pass. Kelly, Left Halfback- “Jim” could hit the line like a bullet. On the defense he was very powerful. WESTBROOK, Right Halfback. “Snake” cculd always be counted on for a gain. H is use of the stiff arm was a menace to the opposing tacklers. SCHUSTER, Fullback , made Second All-State Team as End. “Scoo,” though very light for a full, was the fastest man on the team. His broken field running was superb. SHEPARD, Quarterback (Captain). “Red” Proctor, who picked the All-State Teams, says about him, in choosing the First All-State: “For quarterback, Shepard of Wilmington, a brainy player, fast and aggressive in open field work, the backbone of his team, he stands out above all others for this position. His ability to pass, run and kick makes him an especially valuable man to any team. As a field general I’ve seen no superior.” Page fifty-four Page fifty-five Girls Basketball Team From Left to Right, Sitting— C. Price, E. Sparrow (Captain), G. Fore. Standing— L.

Rage fifty-six Girls Basketball Se ason, 1920-1921 1 he past season of girls’ basketball has been decidedly the most successful year the girls’ team has enjoyed yet. From the eleven games played, ten were won, the eleventh and last being lost to Wilson, whom we defeated twice earlier in the season. 1 his last game determined the Eastern Champions of the state. Elizabeth Sparrow was their most able captain and one of the best guards in the state. Lcuise Munson was manager. The scores of the games were as follows, Wilming¬ ton scoring 320 points to their opponents’ 241. At Wilmington—W. H. S. . . . . ... 26; Sanford. . ... 12 At New Bern—W.

The 1920-1921 Basketball Se ason at Wilmington High School I he task that the basketball team faced at the start of the season this year was one that had yet to be accomplished by any of the high school teams of the state, and that was the winning of the State Championship twice in succession. With cnly one of last year’s lineup to build on, the chances were very uncertain, but as the season wore on our chances looked rosier. George (“Bo”) Shepard as captain and Aubrey (“Jimmie Dick”) Kelley as man¬ ager looked after our interests and led the team in the most capable manner, and con¬ tributed immensely toward the chances of success for the team. Uniforms were bought early in the season, and the W. H. S. boys the North State courts this winter. were one of the neatest appearing teams on The following schedule was played: At W. Y. M. C. A.

The game with Raleigh was the last of the elimination games, and our record up to that time was better than our record for the previous season, although we had lost to Wil¬ son at Wilson in 1920, also the score this year was much closer. In fact, we had out¬ played Wilson and had made a larger score through field baskets, but were not able to take advantage successfully of our free throw opportunities. The following week our manager, Aubrey Kelley, went to Chapel Hill to arrange our schedule for the championship series. We drew a bye for the first week and played a practice game and the following week went to Fremont. The Fremont game proved to be the biggest disappointment of the season, as well as the hardest fought game. The game went two overtime periods before the winner was decided. It is difficult to find the reason for losing the game, but it may possibly have been because of the crude court it was necessary to play on. The loss of this game elimi¬ nated the Wilmington team from the championship. The records of the individuals on the team in scoring follow: Shepard, forward, 89 field baskets. Duls, center, 53 field baskets. Westbrook, forward, 49 field baskets. Kelley, guard, 12 field baskets. Hewlett, forward, 1 1 field baskets. Turrentine, center and forward, 9 field baskets. Shuster, guard, 8 field baskets. Holden, guard, 7 field baskets. Koonce, guard, 2 field baskets. Westbrook did not play during the last part of the season, and Hewlett did not play much during the first part of the season. Turrentine, Shuster and Holden played part time also. At the election of officers for the 1921-1922 season after the last game, Andrew Hewlett was chosen captain and Biggs Holden was chosen manager. The team was coached by Mr. Charles R. Powers of the Y. M. C. A., a capable and efficient coach. 1 he success of the team was due to his whole-hearted work. The only player of this year’s team to make any of the All-State Basketball teams was “Bo” Shepard, who was given a place on the second team. Page sixty Review of Baseball Season, 1920-1921 Although practically a new phase in W. H. S. athletics, the baseball team made a record that it should not be ashamed of. From the very beginning there seemed to be a question about entering the contest for the State Championship. This explains why a representative was not sent to Raleigh for the purpose of arranging a schedule for said contest. “Bo” Shepard as captain and Andrew Hewlett as manager had the co-operation of the other members of the squad throughout the year. The biggest trouble was the finan¬ cial end. A lack of interest by both the school and the public was very marked. The first game of the season, which was played at Fayetteville, was a complete and surprising victory for the team. The entire squad played good ball. The next game was very different. It was played at New Bern and was an overwhelming defeat for the boys. The third game was played on the home grounds. This time Tom Wagner and Jack LeGrand were both out of the game. This fact partly explains the first and only defeat by Burgaw. Our next game was won at Burgaw. The fifth and first game of the State Championship contest “happened” to be scheduled at Wilmington. “Bo” Shepard had injured his arm and could not play. Jarrell’s pitching was the feature of the game. The next game for the Eastern Championship was at New Bern. There the team gave the New Bern boys the surprise of their lives. Although LeGrand and Shepard were again out of the game, it was a question to the last inning as to who would win. This game ended with a defeat that eliminated the Wilmington team from the state contest. Page jix Ji-cne The following schedule, with the results of the games, shows that the squad made a decided improvement during the year. At Fayetteville—W. H. S. . . . 4 Fayetteville .... .... 2 At New Bern—W. H. s. . . . 0 New Bern .... .... 15 At Wilmington—W. H. s. . . � . 5 Burgaw. .... 8 At Wilmington—W. H. s. . . . 3 Burgaw. .... 2 At Burgaw—W. H.

Practically all the team will be back another year. Jarrell and Hewlett, our next year’s captain and manager , respectively, say that they expect a real record next season. With material coming from the Freshman Class and eight men from the old squad, they may rightly expect a bright future, for the prospects are extremely good. The baseball team was coached by Mr. Stone and Mr. Hogan, two high school teachers. These two men gave many afternoons of their time for the development of the team and they have the thanks of the entire student body and team. Page sixt )-lTVO LEONARD HANNAH LAWRENCE SCHUSTER Singles and Doubles Champion Doubles Champion Review of Tennis Season, 1921 The 1921 tennis season of the W. H. S. opened about March first with several preliminary matches to the singles tournament, the first rounds of which were played March 14th. Sixteen students entered, with L. Hannah and E. Turrentine winning through to the finals. Hannah won in the finals in a well played match and was declared champion of the school and representative to the state tournament. The doubles champions were L. Schuster and L. Hannah, this team having challenged and defeated all comers, thus gaming the privilege of representing the school in the state tournament at Chapel Hill. On the morning of April 1 3th these teams left Wilmington for the university. Thurs¬ day, April 1 4th, both teams were successful in winning. In singles Wilmington defeated Chapel Hill High School. In doubles Wilmington defeated Chapel Hill and also Canton High School, this putting Wilmington’s doubles team in the finals to be played with Oak Ridge Institute. This game was played on Saturday, April I 6th, as the preceding day had been rainy. Also on this day the high school’s singles team was eliminated by Oak Ridge Institute, by the longest and most interesting set of the tournament, 13-1 1, second set, 6-2. In the afternoon the high school’s doubles team was eliminated by Oak Ridge. Raeford High School eliminated Oak Ridge in singles, thus winning the cup. Although the Wilmington High School teams did not bring back the cup, they made an excellent showing and were at all times in the running. Page sixiv-ihree £2;—£ 2S£ «?§ w , 7 «W mxm ■:■• ' ; ' V: .

For the past few years we have taken no part in these high school debates. This year we decided to make a start. About the first of March we made a very belated start. We had two preliminary debates at which the judges selected the best three or four speakers. These best speakers—except one who was sick—met about a week before the final debates. At this time our teams were selected. One debater on the affirmative had to be changed to the negative. Of course this was a great handicap to that speaker. Our triangle was Lumberton, Fayetteville and Wilmington. Each school was to furnish two teams—one on the negative and one on the affirmative. The query was: “Resolved, that the policy of collective bargaining through trade unions should prevail in American industry.” Lumberton dropped out, so we had a dual debate with Fayetteville. Our negative team, Biggs Holden and Miss Evelyn Mann, went to Fayetteville. Fayetteville’s nega¬ tive team came to Wilmington to debate our affirmative team, Miss Elizabeth Sloan and M iss Mary Stewart. Both debates were held on Friday night, April 1. We lost both debates to Fayetteville, but we learned something of debating. We, at least, made a start this year. Page sixty-seven Dramatics N Friday, March I 1th, the light opera, “Sylvia,” by W. Rhys-Herbert, was presented in chapel before a large audience. The plot of the opera was clever and amusing. Sylvia, the court lady, and Betty, the farmer maid, agree to exchange their respective stations in life and at the same time exchange their respective (?) lovers. Before the day is over Sylvia absolutely detests being a country maiden ar.d Betty wants her William back again. The choruses were especially good and good looking. The costumes (made in Wilmington) were decidedly attractive and becoming to both the farmer lads and maidens. The principals of the cast were: Sylvia. Belly. Sir Bertram de Lacy William. Prince Tobbylum Polly. Dorothy McNair Eunice Williams William J. Hobbs Walter E. Yopp Robert Maitland . Marian Orrell Prof. Paris R. Myres directed the opera very successfully. The proceeds from the production went to the Beard of Education, with which to finish our new high school, perhaps. ¥ On May 20th “The Hoodoo” was presented by the Girls’ Athletic Association in the High School Auditorium. The play was enacted before as large a crowd as ever seen in the chapel, and the proceeds put the girls ’way over the top in regard to their r basketball expenses. The plot was a “Lulu, by name and nature.” Brighton Early and Amy Lee are about to be married and they are having a little house party. And Cousin Solomon Spiggot (with little Hemachus!) arrives and presents an Egyptian scarf pin in the form of a sacrabaeus to Brighton as a wedding gift. Thus the hoodoo. The pin passes from one to another throughout the play, the hoodoo falling upon the wearer. Love affairs are broken up, jewels are stolen, extra (?) wives appear, and cigars even disappear before the eyes (of Aunt Paradise!), but everything straightens out in the last act and true love conquers in the end. The play has been pronounced the best high school production ever given in Wil¬ mington. The cast was an all star one: Brighton Early. Tom Wright Billy Jackson.

And lazily looked around, But then he spoke with plenty of pep: “LeRoyl Sweep that ground.” LeRoy hopped and got to work; For while Moses looked he would not shirk.
