Under the generous patronage of the people, it has grown till it now not only numbers its students from the mountains to the sea-shore in this State, but others recognizing its merits have entrusted to its care their sons and daughters. In fact, its rapid growth made necessary larger buildings and ampler grounds. Seeing its needs, its friends rallied to its support, formed a joint stock company, secured a charter from the Legislature, and com¬ menced work in earnest. A large, conveniently arranged build¬ ing was erected. Twelve years ago it was found that we did not have room sufficient to accommodate our fast-growing patronage. The owners of the property added an annex thirty- two feet wide and forty feet long, two stories high. This addition to the first building, which was one hundred and thirty-two feet in length by thirty-two feet in width, two stories high, with verandas aggregating more than three hu ndred feet in length, gave our students ample room and comfort for those years. Nine years ago at the beginning of the session it was found that our dormitory was taxed to its limit. The trustees and friends of the School once more made enlarge¬ ment possible. A new building was completed. This new building, forty-eight by sixty-eight, two stories high, with a large basement, gave us a splendid dormitory for girls, with a large and conveniently arranged auditorium. Notwithstand¬ ing the great enlargement, it was soon found that our room was still insufficient; students were turned away for lack of room. This lack was met eight years ago by the erection of another dormitory sufficient to accommodate forty more boys. Seven years ago other improvements were made, new rooms were fitted up for the primary department, other recitation rooms were enlarged and the dining-hall was remodeled. Yet, when the session opened and boys and girls began to arrive we found that we needed more room. The fact that it seems 8 Piedmont High School almost impossible to secure enough room for our students demonstrates clearly the wisdom of our plans and the sound¬ ness of our policy; not, perhaps, from a financial standpoint, but from the standpoint of doing the most good to the most people. A handsome building, thirty by fifty, two stories high, was erected during the summer and it was ready for occupancy at the beginning of the session in 1909-1910. The lower story of this building is used as a boys’ dormitory. The upper story is used by the Musigmarhonian and the Pierian Literary Societies. On the seventh of March, 1910, the main building, contain¬ ing recitation rooms, dining-room, auditorium, Principal’s office and residence, girls ' dormitory, and one dormitory for boys, was destroyed by fire. As only two dormitories for boys and the society halls remained, it was impossible to continue our work, so the school was suspended for the remainder of the session. Major Schenck, the President of the Board of Trustees, called a meeting of the citizens and it was deter¬ mined to rebuild. The contract was let and work was begun at once. Sequestered student life gave place to the builder’s work. Girls, boys, teachers, study and examinations had given way to the carpenter, the mason and the tinner. Soon the wooded hill was resonant with the craftsman’s tool. Out of the ashes of the old was born a bigger and a better Piedmont. Out of the fire-fiend’s ruin, out of cherished, broken plans have come the fruition of broader foundations and the realization of higher ideals. Three handsome structures, more modern in construction than the old , more dormitory rooms, more recitation rooms, greater conveniences, water-works, a larger campus, larger play grounds and electric lights are the outcome of our terrible disaster. In all there are six buildings on our campus. The main building, Schenck Hall, contains four well lighted and well ventilated recitation rooms, a dining-room, thirty-three by seventy, a kitchen with many conveniences, an office and rooms for the Principal and his family. The whole of the upper story of this building is used as a dormitory for girls. The next is a stately building containing the depart- DISTANT VIEW OF PIEDMONT . Lawndale, North Carolina 9 ment of music, the business school, the primary department and an auditorium fitted with raised seats and modern stage scenery. Its seating capacity is about nine hundred. The Waters’ Library building was completed at the beginning of the last session. This building, by the bequest of Miss Nancy Waters, was erected in memory of her brother, Capt. A. G. Waters, who was a brave Confederate soldier killed in the battle of Gains Mill, near Richmond, Va., June 27, 1862. The building, thirty by thirty-six, two stories, built of pressed brick, the smallest but the finest of our buildings, adorns the crest of the hill. It is a fit monument for one who gave life for native land—more appropriate by far than glistening marble or lofty granite. On the evening of February the fifteenth, 1913, when the majority of the boys were attending church in Lawndale, fire broke out in Newton Hall, and in spite of the water-works and heroic efforts on the part of those present, the building could not be saved as it was too far gone when discovered. There was some insurance and the hall was duplicated by the open¬ ing of the next session. May the seventeenth, 1911, the last day of Commencement, after an inspiring address by Hon. T. W. Bickett, Major H. F. Schenck, President of the Board of Trustees, presented the needs of the School to the audience, and asked for five thou¬ sand dollars to pay off the existing indebtedness, to paint the buildings and to install water-works. A wave of enthusiasm, such as is seldom seen when the people are asked for money, passed over the audience. Wealthy men, boys and girls work¬ ing their way through school, women and children, all caught the spirit of the hour. More than six thousand dollars was raised. The thanks of the school are due to the friends of the institution whose loyalty and liberality have made it pos¬ sible for us to take another step forward in the march of V progress. Piedmont is not dead. Piedmont is no longer in its in- Fancy. PIEDMONT IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT. From small beginnings, through toil ar.d sacrifice, it has ripened in 10 Piedmont High School efficiency till it is now generally recognized as one of the strongest preparatory schools in the State. It has nineteen years of steady growth behind it, a large patronage and many friends in the present, and glorious possibilities for the future. Our water cannot be surpassed. At a distance of about a quarter of a mile from the school buildings is a fine, large spring of pure, sparkling water, affording more than twelve gallons per minute. This water is piped to us by means of an electric pump. A tank of fifteen thousand gallons capacity, standing on a steel tower more than fifty feet high, gives us the best means of fighting fire. With this and with electric lights, with no danger of exploding lamps nor deadly fumes of gas in our dormitories, with buildings of only two stories in front, we feel that we have less to fear from fire than ever before. At a distance of not more than four hundred yards from the school are springs of health-giving sulphur-lithia and chaly¬ beate water. Situated on the top of a majestic hill sloping in every direc¬ tion, thus giving perfect natural drainage; commanding a magnificent view of hills, vales, grassy, undulating plains, and of the Blue Ridge in the distance; shaded by a forest of stately oaks; enlivened by the music of rippling water; with excellent drinking water and air free from the taint of malaria, nature has made this an ideal spot for an educational institu¬ tion of a high order. But what has man done towards per¬ fecting it? He has given us daily communication with all the world by telephone and telegraph, a railroad within a mile of the school, electric lights, water-works, dormitories ade¬ quately furnished, large recitation rooms fitted with patent desks of the most approved pattern, and last, but not least, by his efforts as instruments in God’s hands we are unpolluted by bar-rooms, gambling dens and other moral dangers of town and city life, which too often blight the lives of boys from Christian homes and blast the hopes of their dearest friends. We are nearly one-half mile from Lawndale; thus we have Lawndai North Carolina ii the advantage of the village with the perfect quiet of rural life so necessary to sustained mental effort. Sunday Schools and Churches Two flourishing Sunday Schools are within easy reach of us. The Baptists have regular appointments for preaching at New Bethel and Lawndale. The Methodists hold regular services at the latter place. The Presbyterians also hold serv¬ ices at Lawndale, but at irregular intervals. These churches are only a good walk from the scho . All students are re¬ quired to attend at least one of these churches and Sunday Schools. Students are required to attend daily roll-call which consists of singing, reading the Scriptures, and of prayer. At these services occasional short talks will be made by the Prin¬ cipal and others, for the purpose of encouraging the students and inciting them to higher ideals and nobler efforts. A well organized Young Men’s. Christian Association is well attended. Two prayer meetings are held each week by the students, one by the girls and the other by the boys. These services are voluntary, and while no one is forced to go, they are largely attended and a spirit of devotion is shown that is pleasant to witness. Cant is discouraged; but it has been the constant effort of the management of Piedmont High School to inculcate a spirit of reverence for God and veneration for holy things. The school is distinctly Christian, but it is not denominational. 12 Piedmont High School COURSES OF STUDY English The object sought in this department is to give the student a thorough acquaintance with the language and with the best models of the literature, that he may know how to understand and use the one and appreciate and interpret the other. The subject will be studied in three courses. To enter Course I the student should be acquainted with the elementary forms of the language and have such knowledge of syntax and sentence structure as can be acquired from Hyde’s Book II or its equiv¬ alent. All students are required to complete and pass a satis¬ factory examination on the work of each course or its equiv¬ alent before entering upon that of the course next above. Stu¬ dents making a grade of less than 70 on the work of the Fall Term will not be continued in the class during the Spring Term, but may take the class next below. Course 1.—Grammar reviewed. Elementary Composition, Scott and Denny. Classics for study in class or for parallel reading: Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress; Franklin’s Auto¬ biography ; Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner; Eowell’s Vision of Sir Launfal; Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. The emphasis in this class will be given to inflections, sen¬ tence structure and analysis. The student will be graded strictly on spelling, capitalization and the punctuation of ordinary English prose. Course 2.—Brooks and Hubbard’s Composition and Rhet¬ oric. The following classics will be read: The Old Testament (See Bible Course 1) ; Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar; Tenny¬ son s Gareth and Lynette, Launcelot and Elaine, The Passing of Arthur; Dickens’s Tale of Two Cities; Eliot’s Silas Mar- ner, or Gaskell’s Cranford. In this class the emphasis is given largely to theme work. Course 3. Brooks and Hubbard’s Composition and Rhet¬ oric, Part II; Lockwood’s Lessons in English. Classics to be Lawndale:, North Carolina 13 studied with care: Shakespeare’s Hamlet; Burke’s Speech on Conciliation with America or Washington’s Farewell Address and Webster’s First Bunker Hill Oration; Pope’s Translation of the Iliad; Carlyle’s Essay on Burns, with selections from Burns’s Poems. Special attention will be given to the sources and develop¬ ment of the language and literary forms as illustrated by usage of the best writers of the past and present. Students will be prepared to comply with the entrance re¬ quirements of the Southern Association of Colleges. Latin The first year in this course will consist of a thorough prep¬ aration of the lessons in Collar and Daniel’s Beginner’s Latin Book and a special drill on the paradigms and vocabulary. When a good working knowledge of the elementary principles of the language has been secured, the class will read the second and third books of Caesar. The second years’ work in this department will consist of a careful reading of Caesar, Books I and IV, and a review of Books II and III, with drill work in grammar. The third year’s work will consist of a study of six of Cicero’s Orations, six books of Virgil’s HLieid, a review of prose composition, varied with original exercises. While the primary object of this department is the thorough preparation of pupils for entrance to the classical colleges, much stress will be laid on the relation of the Latin language to our mother tongue. Mathematics The work in the college preparatory course for the first year will consist of a careful study of Arithmetic with the view of making the students proficient in business calculations and in preparing them to be successful teachers of arithmetic in our public schools. The elements of Algebra will be studied. 14 Piedmont High School In the second year Wentworth’s New School Algebra will be completed and Wentworth’s Complete Algebra will be begun. In the third year Wentworth’s Complete Algebra will be mastered and Wentworth’s College Algebra and Wentworth’s Geometry will be begun. In the fourth year Wentworth’s Plane and Solid Geometry will be completed. The object of this course is not only to prepare for college but to strengthen and develop the reasoning power of those who may never have the privilege of a college education. History This course is broad and comprehensive. It is intended to be much fuller than merely to prepare for college. In the first year Ancient History will be studied and Medi¬ aeval and Modern History will be begun. In the second year Mediaeval and Modern History will be completed and English History will be begun. In the third year English History will be completed and the History of the United States will be carefully studied. In the fourth year the History of North Carolina will be studied with care. Bible Systematic Bible study has been carried on at Piedmont for several years. The purpose of this study is to give to the student a first-hand knowledge of the things recorded in the Scriptures. The method used is an actual study of the Book itself; not facts about the Bible but facts from the Bible; not a system of interpretation but a regular, definite study of sub¬ ject-matter. The regular classes meet daily throughout the entire session. The work in Course I, Old Testament, is re¬ quired of all graduates, and during the years 1912-191 will form a part of the regular college entrance requirements in English Literature. Lawndale, North Carolina 15 Course 1.—The historical parts of the Old Testament are studied in chronological order with incidental references to the Psalms and Prophets. Course 2.—A systematic study of the historical parts of the New Testament with incidental references to the Epistles is offered to such as desire to do special work in the Bible, and may be used as a substitute for Political Economy or German in the regular course of study as outlined in this catalogue. Course 3.—Sunday School Pedagogy. This is a special course and is open to all students who desire to take the work. A beautiful diploma is awarded to those who complete the first book of the course; and seals, to be attached to the di¬ ploma, are given on the completion of each additional book of the course. The following students received diplomas in this department in the past session:—Miss Mamie Rosetta Biggs, Miss Mary Willis Elliott, Miss Virginia Elliott, Miss Florence Ellen Fer¬ guson, Miss Beuna Greene, Miss Margaret J. Lattimore, Miss Martha Marie Mauney, Miss Lelia Smith, Miss Essie Bing¬ ham, Miss May Clippard, Miss Lottie M. Crowder, Miss Ila Dixon, Miss Ollie Harrell, Miss Sallie Workman, Mr. F. M. Ferguson, Mr. Martin Luther and Mr. D. H. Peeler. Those taking the full Bible course are entitled to entrance credit for the work by the leading Christian colleges of the State. Music The Music Department will be in charge of those who are thoroughly proficient in this branch, and no pains will be spared to make this part of the work equal to any other de¬ partment of the school. This course is broad and thorough. The school recognizes the need of the best instruction for beginners, as well as for the more advanced pupils, thus insuring a good foundation. Public recitals are given during the term. In these all the students of music take part. They are thus stimulated to 16 Piedmont High School greater effort and become accustomed to appearing in public. It has not been deemed advisable to adopt any set of studies to be used arbitrarily, but rather to select a course to suit the needs of the individual pupil. However, a general outline of the plan of study may be given. Primary —Includes a thorough foundation in Technic. In this is taken up the keyboard, staff, rythm, formation of scales and simple studies and pieces. Intermediate —Continues the study of Technic, Studies and Sonatinas selected from Czerny, Duvernoy, Loeschorn, Bertini and others, as well as easy pieces by classical and modern composers. Advanced —Includes the study of Technic in all the forms ; Inventions of Bach; Etudes and Studies by Czerny, Heller, Berens, Cramer, and others; easy Sonatas and Pieces by stan¬ dard composers. Voice Many people go away to school and spend several years in study and when they return, if called on to sing or to conduct a song service, are not prepared to do so. Feeling the great need of the Church for leaders of vocal music, it is our aim to prepare men and women for practical work in Gospel Song. We also seek to lay the foundation for the making of artists of our pupils. Vocal Teaching There is a great demand for young men who are able to lead in song. The field is great for those who are prepared to teach vocal classes. It is our purpose to train young men for this work. Classes in Harmony, Chorus, and Sight Singing will be organized if desired. SENIOR CLASS Lawndale, North Carolina i 7 Root’s Methodical Sight Singing and Greene’s Standard Graded Course in Singing with other supplementary works are used. Band e have a good school band in which anyone who wishes may take part. Private lessons on any band instrument may be arranged for. Science The work done in science in the preparatory schools of the South is ordinarily more or less unsatisfactory for several reasons. Students usually try to complete their preparatory courses in the shortest possible time and the required work in the languages and mathematics crowd out other subjects; at the same time few, if any schools, possess the equipment requisite for obtaining good results in scientific studies. It is our purpose to make the most of our opportunities and to enlarge our facilities for better work from time to time. The following courses are offered: 1. —Agriculture: —Burkett, Stevens and Hill, or its equiva¬ lent. Actual field observation and experiment as opportunity affords. 2. — Physical Geography: —Maury or Tarr McMurray. 3. — Human Physiology and Hygiene :—Lippincott’s Phy¬ siology or Martin’s Human Body, Brief Course. 4. — Physics, with short study of Chemistry: —Higgins. The text in each subject will be supplemented by the teacher in original illustrations and the use of such apparatus as may be at hand or devised for the purpose. It is expected at an early day to have a set of apparatus for simple experiments in Physics and Chemistry. i8 Piedmont High School BUSINESS DEPARTMENT This department of the school was established six years ago. Its progress has been steady, each year showing a satisfactory increase in attendance over the preceding year. There is no reason why a young man or young woman should attend a business college in a large city, where board and tuition are high, to receive a commercial education, when a course of equal value can be obtained in the high school, with the added advantage of the literary course for those who are deficient in this branch. Compare our rates of board and tuition with those of the leading business colleges and you will find ours to be just about half the amount they charge. All students of the Business Department have access to the school library and are required to join one of the literary societies. Shorthand and Typewriting We use Gregg Shorthand and Rational Typewriting in the Shorthand and Typewriting Department. The course consists of instruction in Shorthand, Typewriting, Business Correspon¬ dence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. Gregg Shorthand is by far the easiest to learn, easiest to write and easiest to read of any system of shorthand now in use. In the Fifth International Shorthand Speed Contest, held in Washington, March 28, 1910, writers of Gregg Short¬ hand won first, second and third places. Mr. Fred H. Gurtler, winner of the first place, exceeded the best previous record by 23 words per minute. Mr. Gurtler has since been elected president of the Chicago Law Reporters Association. The winner of second place, Mr. Charles L. Swem, a boy of seven¬ teen, established a world’s record for one of his age and experience. He now holds the world’s record for accur acy and third place for speed. Recognizing his ability as a reporter, Lawndale, North Carolina 19 Governor Wilson secured his services on his presidential cam¬ paign and since his inauguration has appointed him as his chief stenographer. The winner of third place, Miss Salome L. Tarr, a girl of seventeen, established a world’s record for accuracy, her notes being 99.4 per cent perfect. Miss Tarr, too, has added new laurels to her wreath of fame. Miss Paula E. Werning, an enthusiastic Gregg writer, has the unique distinction of being the first to receive the degree of Certified Shorthand Reporter given by the University of the State of New York. These are only a few of the thousands of success¬ ful writers of Gregg Shorthand. Bookkeeping In the Bookkeeping Department we teach the Budget System of Bookkeeping. This system is taught in some of the leading business colleges of the South. Beginning with the simplest principles that lie at the basis of business and bookkeeping, the student is lead to a thorough knowledge of the science by the aid of actual business transactions. The course consists of instruction in Bookkeeping and Office Practice, Commercial Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Business Correspondence and Punctuation, Spelling and Penmanship. A beautiful diploma will be awarded to all who pass the required examinations of either course. For this diploma a charge of $2.00 will be made. Penmanship In the majority of the public schools, the study of penman¬ ship is a farce. The average teacher knows nothing of the elements and principles requisite for the formation of letters or the correct position of the pupil at the desk. The copy¬ book method is used. By this method, the pupil does not put any individuality into his work. He tries to draw an exact reproduction of the copy given him, with a cramped finger movement. 20 Piedmont High School Writing which embodies legibility, rapidity, ease and en¬ durance is required by the business world. The only way to acquire such handwriting is through the use of muscular move¬ ment writing. By this method, the pupil is first taught the proper position at the desk and the correct way of holding the pen. He is then given a thorough drill in the simplest elements of longhand writing—the straight line and curves. After he has mastered these, he is taught to apply them in the formation of letters and words. The principal will give a handsome gold medal to the one making the most improvement in penmanship during the session. The cost of books, stationery, etc., for the Bookkeeping course is $9.00; for the Shorthand and Typewriting course, $5.00. Payment in advance is required for books upon en¬ trance to either department. ORNAMENTAL, WORK BY MISS FLOSSIE Iy.

C., June 11, 1914. Prof. E. R. Osborne, Principal, Business Department, P. H. S., Lawndale, N. C. Dear Sir: —It affords us great pleasure to state that Miss Bessie Whitehead, who came direct from your school to us as stenographer about two years ago, was found to be well prepared both technically and as an English scholar. Accuracy and neatness characterized her -work. After spending one year in college, she returned to us and re¬ mained with us till near the date of her untimely death. She was one of the best stenographers that ever worked in our office, and we have had many. Yours truly, Quinn Hamrick. Wilmington, N. C., June 15, 1914. To Whom It May Interest: During the Fall of 1913 I attended the Business Department of Piedmont High School, and secured a position with the Roadway Department of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company at Wilming¬ ton, N. C. I have found my work very easy, and my success is due to the efficient training I received at Piedmont. The attention one receives is unsurpassed and I feel confident that a young man or woman desiring a Commercial Education will find no better school than Piedmont. Respectfully, P. G. Laughridge. 22 Piedmont High School Wilmington, N. C., June 15, 1914. To Whom It May Interest: I attended the Business Department of Piedmont High School in 1911-1912, accepting a stenographic position with the Southern Express Company in this City in the Spring of 1912. I found that the course I received at Piedmont enabled me to do the work easily, and while with the Southern Express Company I did such work as taking record of meetings of officials, etc., aside from my regular duties. In July, 1913, I accepted a position in the Engineering Department of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, and have held the position without difficulty. I am well satisfied with the business course, and do not believe I could have done better elsewhere. I feel sure that the master of a course at Piedmont can hold any commercial position. Respectfully, B. C. Brown. Southern Express Company superintendent ' s office Wilmington, N. C., May 3, 1915. Mr. B. C. Brown, Wilmington, N. C. Dear Sir: —I take pleasure in testifying to the intelligent and satisfactory work performed by you while employed in this office for a period of approximately a year. Your leaving us for the purpose of entering school was entirely voluntary, and carried with it our best wishes for your success. You may use this letter in an)’- way you see fit. Yours truly, W. Buckner, Superintendent. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company Wilmington, N. C., July 27, 1914. To Whom It May Interest : Mr. B. C. Brown has for the past year been the stenographer and clerk in the office of the Assistant Chief Engineer and of the Principal Assistant Engineer of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. As such he has given satisfaction. The work which he does is accurate and is done with speed. He has shown a disposition in the conduct of his work to further the service of the Company by all means that were within his power. He is leaving the Company’s service to re¬ enter school. Respectfully, J. E. Willoughby, Asst. Chief Engineer. Lawndale, North Carolina 23 Colonial Mercantile Company HOUSEHOLD SPECIALTIES M. B. Hartsell, Mgr. 418 East Main St. Richmond, Va., June 8, 1915. Prof. W. D. Burns, Lawndale, N. C. Dear Sir :—It gives me great pleasure to testify to the efficiency of the Business Department of Piedmont High School. Having been a student in the Shorthand Department there and also a student of one of the large business colleges of the South, I speak from personal experience in saying that Piedmont offers a business course equal, and in some respects superior, to those given by the large and high priced business colleges of the country. A student in the Business Depart¬ ment of Piedmont has advantages which it is impossible to secure in a large city. Individual instruction is one advantage; board and tuition can be secured for one-half or two-thirds less than it can be gotten in a large city. As to environments, I can frankly say that at Piedmont they are unequalled. I sincerely believe that anyone desiring a good practical business education cannot make a wiser choice than to take a course in the Business Department of Piedmont High School. Very respectfully, R. W. Plunkett. 24 Piedmont High School COURSE PREPARATORY FOR COLLEGE EIRST YEAR Periods p e week.

Our idea of building and sustaining a first-class school is that a few teachers well qualified for their work can accomplish more than a large number of cheap, inexperienced ones. EawndalD North Carolina 2 BOARD We feel sure that our boarding - arrangement cannot be improved. We have all the benefits of the club plan, together with home comforts. No profit is made on board. Each stu¬ dent bears his proportional part of the expense, and saves what¬ ever profit is usually made on board, thus materially lessening expense. Our method, too, prevents class distinction, which is sometimes made in schools where some students board in boarding-houses and others at the mess-hall. Here no such rivalry can exist, for all students and teachers board on the same plan, and all eat in the same dining-hall. The only aristocracy which counts here is the aristocracy of brains, good conduct in school, and Christian living. During the last session board averaged for the full month, $7.16. Those who went home on Friday evening and returned Monday morning, paid on an average $4.43 per month. Terms for tuition are cash at the end of the month, except by special agreement. Payment for board is expected to be made promptly. No profit is made on board, and no calculation is made for loss or delay in payments. Each boarder must deposit $8.25 on entrance. At the end of each school month he is required to pay his proportional part of board, and the $8.25 deposited at the beginning of the term is used in payment of his board for the last month, and any part remaining is refunded to the pupil. This is done simply to guard against loss to the boarding pupils. Board will be charged for no less time than one month. In other words, if a pupil leaves school before the expiration of the first month no part of the advance board or of the contingency fee will be refunded. This is done in justice to the school, from the fact that there are boys and girls who enroll and stay only a few days, or a week, and leave because of a lack of purpose, 28 Piedmont High School thus keeping away others who would stay throughout the session. Those wishing to pay board and tuition for the term in advance may do so, and they will receive interest on the amount deposited. A contingency fee of $1.00 is required to be deposited by each boarding student on matriculation. If no damage is done to the school property, and if the student remains in school not less than three months, this fee will be returned at the close of the session. If damage is done to school property, each must pay for the damage he does. If the perpetrator of the injury is not discovered the damage is to be repaired out of the general contingency fund, and each pupil will have his proportional part of his contingency fee returned. No deduction in payment of tuition is made except in cases of protracted sickness, and then only when a certificate of a physician is presented. All students are earnestly urged to begin on the first day of the session. Otherwise, they work at a disadvantage. Permission to visit will not be given to the girls. Parents are asked not to make request that their daughters be granted special privileges, for it will not be granted. All damages to school property must be paid for by the one doing the damage. No student will be allowed to carry a pistol, or to indulge in profanity, gambling, or the use of intoxicants. Pupils who persistently break the rules will be expelled. Ministers of the gospel and those preparing themselves for the ministry are charged only half rates for tuition in the literary department. To secure this reduction such students as aie not personally known to the Principal must be recom¬ mended by their pastors. The mail of all the boarding girls will pass through the hands of the Principal. This rule will be suspended only on the written request of the parents or guardians. Lawndale North Carotin a 29 LITERARY SOCIETIES, MEDALS AND SCHOLARSHIPS 1 he Musigmarhonian and the Pierian Literary Societies for young men meet each week for debate, declamation and the transaction of general business. In these exercises all members are required to participate and all students who board at the hall are required to become members of one or the other of the societies. It would be hard to estimate the importance of this work in imparting a knowledge of parlia¬ mentary law, stimulating historical researc h and cultivating general reading. In fact, some of the larger colleges are already considering the advisability of making literary society work count toward the winning of a degree. Why not? These societies are always attended by the Principal and by other teachers who act as critics. Each society offers a gold medal to that member making the greatest improvement in oratory and debate during the year. The Pierian improvement medal was awarded to Mr. Martin Muller Luther of Cumberland County, the Musigmarhonian to Mr. Claude Ira Brinson of New Hanover County. A gold medal, given by the Principal, was awarded to Mr. William Monroe Lovelace of Cleveland County for oratory and debate in the annual debate between the Pierian and the Musig¬ marhonian Literary Societies. The Emersonian Literary Society for young ladies meets once each week for the reading of various selections, the study of the lives of authors, for recitations and for the reading of original essays. These meetings are always attended by one or more teachers who by friendly criticism and advice en¬ courage the students to greater zeal in the work. A gold medal, awarded by the Emersonian Literary Society for improvement in recitation, was won by Miss Mattie Marie Mauney of Cleveland County. 30 Piedmont High School The Schenck Scholarship Medal is awarded to the student of the College Preparatory course who makes the best general average. This medal, given by Maj. H. F. Schenck, was awarded to Mr. George Bynum McEntire of Cleveland County. The Burns Recitational Medal, given for the best rendered recitation at Commencement, was awarded to Miss Ollie Mae Harrill of Cleveland County. The Carme Elam Medal, given by Mr. Carme Elam to the best declaimer among the boys, was awarded to Mr. Martin Muller Luther of Cumberland County. A gold medal, given by Prof. E. R. Osborne for improvement in Penmanship, was awarded to Miss Mamie Biggs of Wake County. Miss Lillian Rowe of Lenoir County being a very close second was also awarded a gold medal. To contest for the Declamation Medal or the Recitation Medal one must be a student of Piedmont High School for a period of not less than six months preceding the contest, and must not have won the Declamation or Recitation Medal at Piedmont the year previous. To contest for any of the other medals one must be a student of Piedmont High School for a period of not less than eight months. No medal will be awarded one who carries fewer than six¬ teen recitations per week and whose general average, including deportment, is less than seventy-five. The last and by far the largest awards for merit that come under this head are the scholarships placed in our hands by Wake Forest College, Trinity College, Catawba College, and the University of North Carolina. The conditions of awarding the latter three have not been given us. The Wake Forest Scholarship, which in money value is worth $150.00, pays the tuition of a student (prepared at Piedmont High School) at Wake Forest College for three years. Appointment to this scholarship is subject to the following conditions: The appoin¬ tee must be prepared for the college classes, of good moral character, and must have made the highest grade on competitive examination conducted under the direction of the Principal of Lawndale, North Carolina 3i Piedmont High School. The appointment is for one year only, but the scholar is eligible to re-appointment provided (1) his deportment is blameless and (2) he has made a passing grade on each study the previous year, making, in case of re-appoint¬ ment for a second year, a minimum average of eighty-five on all studies taken the first year, and for a third year a minimum average of ninety on the second year’s work. The scholarship is not available to the same student beyond three years. In case the scholar fails of re-appointment for a subsequent year, Piedmont High School may make a new appointment on the conditions given above. The placing of these scholarships in our hands is, perhaps, the highest endorsement that the trustees of these institutions could bestow upon us. Purposes The purpose of this school is to prepare boys and girls thoroughly for college and to fit them for the practical duties of life. It is as much our purpose to develop nobility of character and a high sense of honor, as to impart knowledge of text-books, and no effort is spared to teach a proper appreci¬ ation of each one’s rights and duties as members of society, and to educate the heart as well as the brain in those Christian graces that constitute true nobility of character. Thoroughness It has always been the aim of the school to do honest, thorough work. -The present Faculty especially endoise thor¬ oughness, and it will be their constant care to see that the student masters the subject studied before they permit it to be laid aside. Yet, we do not believe that an education consists of simply an accumulation of facts and figures, but it means the harmonious development of the powers given us by the Creator. 32 Piedmont High School Regulations The regulations are few and simple. Students are en¬ couraged to control themselves and to regard the rights of others. They are, however, expected to render prompt and cheerful obedience to teachers at all times. Those who are not willing to comply with our discipline are not solicited to matriculate. Reports At the end of the first and third quarters, reports of the general progress in studies and upon deportment will be sent to parents. The quarterly reports are not intended to indicate the precise grade of scholarship. At the end of each term parents will be sent a report showing the precise grade of scholarship, deportment, absence from recitations and religious exercises during the term. The reports are a means of com¬ munication between parents and teachers, and may be of great service in stimulating the pupils. Library In 1902 about two hundred books were secured as a nucleus of a library. These books were well selected and many of them were handsomely bound. In 1903 about a hundred volumes were added. From time to time others came to us by gift or by purchase. This collection was destroyed on the seventh of March, but fortunately there was on hand a small fund unexpended. This gave us a new beginning. The erection of the handsome Waters’ Memorial Library building inspired our friends with zeal for filling it with books. To this library, founded in honor of a gallant Confederate soldier, came one of the first and decidedly the largest and finest collection of books from a Northern Veteran, Mr. James E. Reynolds of New York. Three years ago a number of students formed a library association and each paid in fifty cents as a membership fee. Some plays and lectures were given for its EMERSON HALL Lawndale, North Carolina 33 benefit. Altogether we have about four hundred volumes. In many homes there are books no longer valued that would be of great use to us. Such books will be gladly received by our librarian and gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are due to the following for books and papers donated last session: Mr. W. J. Bryan, Trinity College, the University of North Carolina, P. L. Newton and Maj. H. F. Schenck. Reading Room The following is a list of newspapers and periodicals that came to our reading room last year: Review of Reviews, Cosmopolitan, Atlantic Monthly, World’s Work, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, Woman’s Home Companion, Raleigh News and Observer, The Independent, Charlotte Daily Observer, The Highlander, The Cleveland Star, Greensboro Daily News, The Progressive Farmer, Farmer and Mechanic, Biblical Recorder, McClure’s Magazine, The Reformed Church Standard, Newton Enter¬ prise, Charity and Children, St. Louis Star, The Tar Heel, Everybody’s Magazine, The Outlook, The Delineator, Travel, Onslow Progress. Physical Exercise Ample grounds supply every demand for outdoor exercises and games. Tennis, basketball, baseball and football are favorite recreations of our pupils. Expenses Board is furnished on the club plan, thus securing the best board at the least possible cost. The students take their meals at the same table with the Principal and the teachers. The Principal and other teachers give necessary help in the pre¬ paration of lessons. Girls are constantly under the care of the teachers or of the Matron. 34 Piedmont High School Information Marking all trunks and valises plainly with name and address will often avoid loss. Students will be admitted at any time, but it is far better to enter at beginning of term. The teachers are all able and experienced. The course is broad and comprehensive, and prepares for entrance to any of the colleges. Students whose influence may prove injurious to the school shall BE promptly Expelled. Strict obedience to all rules and requirements is demanded. Dormitory rooms are furnished with bedstead, springs, mat¬ tress, table and chairs. Students should bring sheets, blankets, pillow cases, towels and napkins. All of these should be plainly marked. It is well for all pupils to have overshoes. In the case of girls we insist that they bring overshoes. They often save many times their cost by preventing sickness. The Principal and the teachers of the school cannot lend money to pupils . If parents desire it the Principal will take charge of money that is to be paid out for the incidental expenses of children and will render statement at the close of the term. Education is the best investment parents and guardians can make for children. In many instances it pays more than a thousand per cent., but parents, as well as pupils, should under¬ stand that securing an education is a business,just as is farming, manufacturing or mercantile pursuits. The farmer must work with system and regularity, the manufacturer cannot shut down his plant to gratify a whim and the merchant who closes his doors to go fishing in this day of sharp competition will soon be a bankrupt. The same thing is true of the pupil seeking an education. He cannot be in and out without injury to his scholarship and to the school with which he is connected. Parents are self-sacrificing but often they do not realize how important a few days may be in school work. Parents will Lawndale, North Carolina 35 please not ask us to allow pupils to lose time from their work unless there are reasons of the utmost importance for doing so. Charges Board at actual cost.

When we did begin to award certificates we made the standard of graduation much higher than did the average high school. This accounts for the fact that while we have enrolled thousands of pupils not many have secured the coveted certificate. To keep up the high standard of scholarship for which Piedmont is noted the certificate must not be won too easily —it must mean something. Miss Belle Wilson 1907 Cleveland County, N. C. Charles B.
