Editor CELSICR URS F P PAXNE fSz'ajfAdv1ser FOREWORD WE again extend felicitations to the student body on their third pres- entation of THE Excursion. Special felicitations to the Seniors who were wholly responsible for making this edition a mammoth success. We wish also to thank our many patrons and contributors who have helped t1'e- mendously. It is our aim that every contributor and reader may become thoroughly acquainted with our efforts and activities. The day is past in which a young man or woman without specific training can enter an office for an apprenticeship in business and hope to succeed. The grandparents of this generation could do that. Today the employer wants only those who ca11 sell to him a skill, an ability, a serv- ice upon which he can make a profit. Payne's Business Q Secretarial School offers the specialized training that fits the young person for immediate employment and prepares him for promotions. Its function is not to provide the fundamental general education of the public school, nor the cultural education of the college, but to supplement these two with a practical specialized training for vocational purposes. It prepares the pupil to make a living in the busi- ness world. This specialized training will do two things: Make the trainee em- ployable and enable him to begin his career at a higher wage level. Money spent for this type of training is, therefore, a definite investment. Business has become a profession, requiring a degree of preparation equal to that of many older professions, and offering as attractive oppor- tunities as the best of them. Payne's Business School has endeavored to move upward with business in its climb to the professional level. Courses have been broadened and enriched to satisfy the requirements of both vocational and professional institutions. Today our school has one domi- nant objective: To train young people for successful careers in the pro- fessions of business. For the accomplishment of this purpose it strives to do five things: 1. Lay a foundation of specific fundamental education upon which a business can be erected. 2. Develop certain vocational skills in the pupil to the degree of pro- ficiency measures. 3. Broaden the outlook of the pupil until he is able to visualize possi- bilities in business and career. 4. Develop business habits and personalities, character which will pro- vide a place of' leadership in this profession. 5. The courses of our school meet two exacting requirements . . . the demands of the employers, and the standards set up by educators. To our Seniors of '47 I leave this advice: There are qualities of mind and character you must possess before you can make the best use of your technical skill. Diligence, initiative, vision, a keen alertness, judgment. These you must have and exercise before success will be within your reach, and these are qualities that T'ayne's Business 8: Secretarial School has taught you, and we are confident that you will live up to each of these ideals. By so doing, success will be your reward. MRS. F. P. PAYNE, President.

As members of this begi11ni11g class, we found a hearty welcome coming from the upper class and a warm reception from the president, Mrs. F. P. Payne, and her assistant instructor, Miss Louise Vvilliams. At this time we were no lo11ger tl1e young tots entering school for the first time, but we are those who have graduated from high school. Some of us have even studied ill various colleges. -Xt this age, and with the knowledge that we have acquired throughout our school days up until IIOW, we are the so-called Scream of the crop stepping out as youngsters into tl1e field of business. Vie began to make short but sturdy strides into tl1e field, under the guidance of our competent instructor who labored so strenuously to help cultivate our brain to such an extent that we would be able to master shorthand, bookkeeping, typing, and all the other subjects that always confront a beginner in tl1e business world. Making a most intelligent survey of tl1e students enrolled at Payne's Business tk Secretarial School, we found that the students were hailed from all parts of the State, but all of them seem to have the same determination, and that is the will to achieve. lluring tl1e first few months through studious efforts we were able to master tl1e first books in our beginning course, and with the help of our instructor we were able to attain the marks which would qualify us for our senior instructor. In the- month of April, the class was organized. Mr. Xorman E. Smith was elected president, Mr. William ll. Henry, vicespresident, Miss Frances llloore as secretary, and Miss Xannie Hanks as treas- urer. 'illlftlllglllllllf the spring months we struggled upward toward our goal. Although tl1e work was hard, yet we found time for our social events which included tl1e most delectable prom held at the Y.M.C..X. ln the latter part of May, while the upper class was preparing themselves for tl1e final initiative before entering the business world. the under- graduates were striving with tl1e bcst of their ability to follow in the footsteps of those who had gone on before them. On the 2-ith of June the school closed for tl1e season of 19445. Be- fore we put away our books for our summer vacation we had been cautioned by our instructors not to let tl1e knowledge we had built up during tl1e first part of our course at Payne's Business N Secretarial School to corrode before we returned to school again in the fall. Upon resuming our course in the fall session, our hearts were overjoyed to learn that a host of new students had cast. their lot with us, to venture into the field of business. One of the most outstanding events of the year was the big cele- bration of Founder's Day. The entire school was served a delicious repast. Following the repast Mr. Brown, tl1e speaker for that hon- orable day, delivered an address which was a great inspiration to the entire school. As time marched on the class was reorganized with Mr. XVilliam flJ. Henry as president, Mrs. Christine Stewart as vice-president, Miss Esther Perry as secretary, and Miss Nannie Banks as treasurer. The entire class co-operated with the new otlicers to the fullest extent, which enabled tl1e1n to perform tl1e duties which were required of them. As the time for graduating is drawing nigh, we find ourselves look- ing back over the ground that We had covered since we first entered sehool at Payne's Business tv Secretarial School. ln making the final cheek of tl1e students that started out in the race, we iind that only a few held out until the e11d. For various reasons those that did not kfiep the pace dropped out one by o11e until the number of graduates were cut down to its present status. NVQ must always bear in mind that fortune favors those who never give up until the race is finished. Last but not least, the graduating class of 19-LT has been o11e of the most outstanding classes in tl1e history of the school. TXTONTHOSE E. XVIIITLEY, VV1LL1.xM D.

We linish this course With a sense of well-being and accom- plishment. As we emerge from this 'institution of knowledge, our minds are centered on one thing: what does the future hold for us? VVell, let us take a trip on the magic carpet of time and see what's cooking for us. Our carpet lands first of all in a little town ill Pennsylvania, Traf- ford to he exact. There as we wander clown the main street, who should we see but Miss Esther Perry. From Miss Perryls conversa- tion, we tind that she is director of the local chapter of the American Red Cross. We know that all prohlems brought to Miss Perry are handled with the utmost care. Traveling southward we stop in Virgilina, Virginia, where we find Mr. Xorman Smith, a former student of Payne's Secretarial School, has a thriving business. There, also, we lind Miss Mary Vandergritf as Mr. Smith's private secretary. Continuing the journey southward, we stop again in YVise, N. C. We find Miss Virgie Garnes as manager of the city's largest depart- ment store. Raleigh, N. C., next stop. Here we find a host of former class- mates. Mrs. liuverdis Maye as owner of a small but select millinery shop, Miss Josephine llirdsall as a competent hookkeeper for a local department store, Miss Pollie Watson as a secretary in an insurance otlice, Miss Hazel Simms as assistant to Mrs. F. P. Pane, president of our former Alma Mater, Miss Jessie Niles as circulating manager of the f'fl.7 fII'1'l1ii6LII-, our local newspaper. Q Stopping in High Point, N. C., we see Miss Dorothy Pullen as director of child welfare there. ln Erwin, N. C., we find Miss Letha Elliot, as hookkeeper for the largest fruit company i11 the city. Newton Grove, the home of the Messers. lVilliam and Charles Henry, has enjoyed a wider variety of dry goods since the Henry Brothers Ilepartment Store was established. Ill Fayetteville, X. C., we were entertained hy Mrs. Marjorie Dunn, who is competently holding down a joh as manager of the ladies' ready-to-wear section of a big department store. Miss Nannie Banks puts her excellent bookkeeping skill to work in her home town, Como, N. C., in the Federal Reserve Hank there. Miss VVillor Alston who hails from Louishurg, X. C., finds her work as secretary to a prominent lawyer very interesting. Mr. Edgar McLean, who finally decided 011 law as a career, has opened law oliices in Lillington, N. C., and is doing a rushing business. Miss Pauline Douglas, of Hamlet, N. C., is distinguishing herself as bookkecper and secretary to the dean of girls at Livingston College. In VVilmington, N. C., We find Miss Montrose ivhitley as an Eng- lish instructor, and assistant to the dean of women at the local high school. Now we take a long trip. All the way down to San Diego, Cali- fornia, to visit Miss Johnsie Anderson who has an interesting position as chief clerk in an importing lirin. VVell, this old magic carpet is just about worn out for now, so we make our departure, leaving behind us to all those we visited, our best wishes for their continued success. CHRISTINE S.

B. S. CLUB l I . 1 SCHOOL MASCOT Seen ut school each day during the sxhool year is thc faithful little pedigreed cockcr Spaniel belonging to Little Miss Carmen Payne. This little dog is recognized as Little Miss Ebony Payne. It is noted with much interest how Ebony knows each student, and how she announces visitors, distinguishing them from the large student body attending school here. Ebony is asked quite frequently, Are you ai student Z In so many words l4lbony's answer might be, Yes, but not for a degree, because I already have it pedigree.
