Yes, he has left us, but left us not without memories, dear memories, of him that we will ever cherish. James Fleet Smith, a young Christian gentleman of the noblest type, was seized in the clutches of the indiscrim- inating Angel of Death and snatched away from us just at the time when he was planning to launch forth upon the Sea of Life. Tears stream down our faces, and our hearts are weighed down with grief. Tears are selfish: they sat- isfy no one but ourselvesg so we must brace up and iight on and on, and light a better game because of the noble ex- ample that our comrade and classmate set before us. And as time passes, our present sorrows shall merge into a beau- tiful memory of him whom we now mourn.

The drilling went on incessantly, Zh .for stone, as every one knows, IS a hard material to fashion into shape. Those ancestors of ours, rough, uncouth, and uneducated as they were, back in the stone age, certainly had a tough time if the stone with which they worked was half as hard as were the heads of the members of the class of '25 when as freshmen we entered high school. It is because of the general crudeness of our class as freshmen, our ignorance of the ways and traditions of high school that we designate our freshman year as the Stone Age of our school career. Accustomed as we were to lording it over the under classmen in grade school because of our exalted position as seventh graders, we had a bad case of big head when we entered high school, and it took not a little chiselling to reduce us to the proper state of mind toward the seniors as our superiors. When we entered high school we actually spoke on intimate terms to the seniors, and ignorant of all precedent, we ventured in at the FRONT DOOR-just think of it, the FRONT Doon of the Cherry Street High School, held sacred for thirteen long years to the dignified tread of the seniors only! And then our woeful lack of knowledge in regard to the real work of the high school: the methods of teaching, the conduct of the recitations. In the grade school we were used to patient, system- atic teaching, line upon line, and precept upon precept, to questions and answers, to drill, to gentle helping-over the hard places, in high school how different our treatment at the hands of the faculty! At first we thought we had a cinch in high school with our frequent study periods, our change of teachers, our crowded class roomy we thought all we had to do was to sit and listen- or pretend to listen- while the clock ticked the slow minutes, to the talk, talk of the learned teacher. But, alas, when examination time came ffor back in the stone age we had examinations-the good old-fashioned kind that lasted two and three hoursj, we found that sitting was not all that was required of us in recitation: that everything our teachers had said, or even thought, we were expected to bring forth from the hidden recesses of our memory. And, alas, when our first reports met the eyes of our expectant parents! The weeping and wailing and re- making of vows! Our second year at high school we look back upon as the Dark Ages of our school career. For literally it was all work and no play: every subject we undertook was difficult. Ancient history, what a load we found we had shouldered under the covers of that book! BLACK AND GOLD 53 For the first time we discovered a name for the lamentable state in which we had been the year before, and the equally deplorable state in which we were in our sophomore year. Caesar became the bane of our existence and we grew to hate the man who said, Vidi, Vici, Vinci. In the biology room, in the cold basement of the old Cherry Street building, we had hard tussles with chloroforming butterflies and grasshoppers, with making experiments with glucose and starch and protein. But the horror of horrors was the ancient skeleton grinning at us from his station in the dark corner! We had often heard about skeletons in closets, but we did not know, and would not' have believed that W.-S. H. S. had one had we not seen it with our own eyes. But through the dark despondency of our days one light fiamed, and the dream of every school girl and boy came true. The school house burned! But, after all, it was only a transient gleam, for after five short days of respite we were back at Work harder than ever in the new building. Then days darker than any We had ever experienced gathered. Besides the added work we labored under great difficulties. Our building was only partially completed and the Reynolds Memorial was scarcely begun. To the sound of rivetting we solved algebrag Latin was conjugated to the accompaniment of trains shifting under our windows, unloading building materialg questions in English were thought out to the hammering outside the door and the chug-chug of heavy milk trucks stuck in the mud beneath the windows. The noise and confusion would not have been bad if the teach- ers had stopped the lesson every two seconds: but they didnlt. They kept right on, and expected us to know all that was said at all times. lnto the bargain, all this not being enough, nature turned capricious. Never in our short remembrance did it snow, rain, hail, sleet, and pour down as it did from January, 1923, to May of the same year. However, all that's. past. The year finally ended and the bright, sweet days of our Junior year dawned: our Renaissance after the Dark Ages. Now the drudgery of work was over, and although every day was not easy sailing, we began really to enjoy ourselves, fairly gloat- ing over our new importance as Juniors. Every class has an event to which it looks back with a mingling of pride and sorrow. So it was with us. Before the year was far advanced we met it in the shape of the death of a beloved comrade and classmate who died on the field of honor. The loss of Leo Caldwell plunged not only our class but the whole school into some of its darkest hours. But when our sorrow had lightened a little, we understood that we could best perpetuate his memory by keeping always before us the torch of his clean life, a.nd the flame of his high ideals. 54 BLACK AND GOLD Thus dawn broke once more for us, and the next important happening was the Junior-Senior reception. It was not a reception in the real sense of the word, for since we had contributed our money to a worthier cause, our party was a share and share alike two-bit affair. At this party the girls took advantage of a temporal situation -leap year-and so exercised thetime-honored privilege of choosing their own escorts, and their own partners at progressive conversation. And so everybody had a good time. Soon after the Junior-Senior reception the girls had an athletic banquet and with toasts and songs the senior girls passed a merry evening with the girls of other grades. By the time things had calmed down a little it was time for exams and promotion. A few of us, one hundred and forty, managed to struggle successfully enough to acquire the longed-for privilege of calling ourselves Seniors. ,And that senior year has indeed been the Golden Age of our school life. Of course there have been ups and downs, and some days have been dark and dreary, but even now as we look back upon the days and weeks that seemed so hard when we were passing through them, we find that our sun dials have registered only the shining hours. We forget the added burdens that were placed on our shoul- ders: the extra course in citizenship with its pages and pages of ref- erence reading, the strenuous training in physical education, the hours after school in dramatics and debating and public speaking. Like seniors from time immemorial, we started in this year with our bump of senior dignity well developed, with our wills screwed to the point of setting examples to sophomore and freshman and junior: indeed, so dignified and proper in class and out of class did we become, so well behaved in all walks of school-life that our teachers actually became alarmed about us: we were so unlike ourselves. Still, at times our senior dignity would fall from us and our happy spirits bubble over in class room and study hall, and sometimes we would even forget our high resolves to walk, not run, down the hall be- tween three-minute bells. As a class we have entered into every school activity. In athletics we have had some showing, the girls especially, for the girls' basket- ball team, with Martha Maslin as captain, won for the first time in their history from Greensboro, and in tennis Elizabeth Hines and Alice Lamb made a fine record. ln extra-curricular activities of a literary nature, we have cer- tainly had a fine year. The Black and Gold under the able editorship of Harold Ellison has not only been greatly enlarged but has ke it up to its high standard of original stories and up-to-date jokes. e Whispers, our weekly newspaper, made its appearance in the news- BLACK AND GOLD 55 paper world this year, and with Elizabeth VVilkinson as editor-in- chief, has added much to the life of our school. In music, while we senior members of the orchestra and the glee clubs and quartets, can not take to ourselves all the glory of the five cups brought back from the North Carolina Music Contest in Greens- boro, we do feel proud of our own Stephen Morrisett, who, in winning first place in the piano solo contest, received high praise from the judge of the contest, Mr. Arthur Shattuck, musician of national fame. We have entered contests in both city and State and have cap- tured many honors. Joe Carlton won out in the VVake Forest Dec- lamation Contest, Spruill Thornton and Joe Carlton represented us in the triangular debate this spring, and although they, with their colleagues, two members of the Junior Class, did not win the State championship, they put up such a splendid fight against the Wil- son winners that we are proud of them. In the Thrift play-writing contest, Margaret Sharp won, in the D. A. R. essay contest over one hundred contestants, Eleanor Holton won first prize and Eliza- beth Rose, second prize, in the Abraham Lincoln essay contest, David Fisher won the medal. By one-third of a point only, our typewriting team lost to Charlotte in the recent State contest at Raleigh, and in the state-wide contest in dramatics, at the University of North Carolina, Spruill Thornton and Fleet Smith were in the cast of players from our Dramatic Club that won first place. In the social features of high school life our class had its share. During the first semester, Mrs. Mann and Bliss Gladys lVIoore of the Social Science Department assisted us with a delightful Colonial Tea that will long help us to remember the costumes and doings of long-ago, and on the twenty-seventh of February the Juniors gave in our honor a most unique and beautiful entertainment-first two charming colonial plays in the Auditorium and then adjournment to a real floating tea with receiving line, and best of all, good things to eat. Another thing we must not forget in recalling the pleasures of this year: the day before Thanksgiving, when at the Auditorium period we presented to Ola and to Tom, our faithful maid and janitor, two big fat gobblers, and to Joe Long, who for twenty-five years served us at West End and then at Cherry Street High School, a bigger, fatter turkey still! And then our senior Chapels, as we call them, we shall never forget, for it was on these occasions we were privileged to sit, home room by home room, on the rostrum and show ourselves offl Oh, how happy it makes us to recall these golden days of high school: these days, already gone glimmering through the dream of things that were. -fllnrgrlret Sharp -James Shore BLACK AND GOLD BLACK AND GOLD 57 CLASS PROPHECY A V1 HEN' we first entered the movies we were as excited as we 5,1 . could be when we found that we were going to see on the screen in 'fWho's Who in l935, a complete history of that remarkable class of 1925 of the Richard J. Reynolds High School. When the curtain rose we received the greatest thrill to find that the picture had been produced by Jim Crawford, and still another thrill to find that the costumes and settings had been planned by Mary Jenkins Miller. The first picture showed us Virginia Dunklee and Elizabeth Hines, now the pride of Mr. Ziegfeld's heart, starring in the revived Topsy and Eva stunt, and in outstanding contrast, Frances Ireland appeared next in her robes as Judge of the llth District Superior Court. u A 'mystery of long years' standing was solved when we saw Elizabeth,Rose and Elizabeth Atkins busy with their production en- titled, Why We Stay Together All The Time. When the likenesses of Ruth Cook, Gorrell Lewis, and Mildred Poe wereg flashed on the screen we were amused to read that they were organizing a league for preventing the Distribution of Mail be- fore school. lVIaiftha Maslin was next shown at her desk, extremely busy with her duties as Ex-Governor of North Carolina, President of the Woman'sZClub, candidate for Mayor, Head of the Civic League, and Chairmanfof the Democratic National Committee of Forsyth County. By the side' of Martha sat her eflicient secretary and business manager, CarolineiPrice. The next picture showed Elva Lee Kenerly and Adelaide Mc- Alisrer charming a vast audience with their rich contralto voices, the Hobbs-Potter Jazz Band accompanying them. In rapid succession there flashed then on the screen: Eloise Ab- bott, popular movie actress, Lois Shermer, noted lecturer on Woman's Rights, Kathleen Jarvis and Lillie Mae VVhitaker, proprietors of Ye Little Candye Shoppe, and Pauline Heath, Instructor of Physical Education, University of Kalamazoo. The next bits of information were, indeed, surprising: Elizabeth McSwain, so the lines read, returns from her world tour as lecturer on 'fHow to Speak and Not Be Heard , Ella Terrell arrives from Africa where she has been demonstrating No Twins Alike Qi, Doris Burchette delights vast audiences with her manipulations on the Steam Piano. 58 BLACK AND' GOLD An interesting film next showed us Louise Grifhth and Ruth Carter at their typewriters breaking the world record in speedy and Eleanor Holton, busy at her desk, compiling statistics on the appall- ing number of absences in our city high schoolsg and Margaret Sharp autographing copies of her latest book of poems. Margaret Stevenson and Mildred Boyles, we next learned, were happily married, but to our disappointment, the faces of the fortunate husbands were not revealed, Ethel Brandon and Margaret Shelling- ton, we learned, had distinguished themselves in recent foot races and jumping contestsg and Pauline Lineberry, after personal observa- tion of 777 specimens, was completing her treatise on the normal de- velopment of a poodle dog's brain. Hot dog! a voice whispers behind me, Lookayonder, Samll' Although the remark was not directed to me, I took the sugges- tion and looked at the screen. Here is what I saw: The only commercial student of the class of J25 to win distinc- tion in art-Mr. Win. C. Daye. His picture, The Frolief' is now on exhibition in Paris. We would have expected the great majority of the Class of '25 to become interested in business, but it seems that there are compara- tively few in that line. These were mentioned in the next change of film: Harwood, Matthews 81 Co., CHS: Co., is Job Holt-he does the work and Edgar and Frank supply the capitalj, General Department Store, Quate Publishing Co., Che publishes books for William Cager Justice, Fannye Wilson, and other great present day writersj 3 Hen- dricks 85 Hendricks QPaul and Johnj, Realtors Qthey sell the earthl. There were some others but these were in a special film and will be named later. In music the class has had some very remarkable successes. Here is the way the screen showed us two of them: Harve3' Brown, Director of the Philadelphia Symphony Or- chestra, is shown meeting Miss Maxine Fearrington, soprano, just he- fore their joint recital at the Reynolds Auditorium, Wins'ton-Salem. Then came other successes, as they appeared to us: Basil R. Wilson, orator and statesmanf is a member of the House of Representatives, and is well lanown throughout this and other states. I-Iomer Idouehins and George Lentz are coaehing football at Duke University and Wll'k8 Forest College, respectively. Miss Annie Gojf is now editor of the Household Department of the Ladies Home Journal. Miss Mabel Jarvis is the proprietor of the Jarvis Storage Bat- tery Co. She has invented several useful articles, besides improving the original batteryg we wish her success in anything else she may undertake. BLACK AND GOLD 59 Thomas F. Clingman is supervisor of the North Carolina State Highway Commission. His work in this position has improved North Carolina's roads a great deal since the 'Good ol' Days' when he used to drive a truck up and down over the same roads he now supervises. V It is known that the following girls are all married, but neither their names nor their whereabouts have been ascertained.' Margaret Wliitlow, Lucy Wagner, Virgie Cofer, Ruth Clark, Virginia Weddle. Brock Jenkins is the T. B. Jenkins, Jr., that everybody knows as the owner of the great 'Joint Chain,' a chain of 'hhvienie' joints stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Lucile Kinney and Agnes Reid are the proprietors for rather proprietressesj of the Kinney-Reid Book Co. They are good managers and are doing a hne business. Marie I-Ioney just recently acquired the Sweet Shop. She re- named it 'Ye Sweete Shoppe' and is doing better business than its former owner did. Louise Peterson and Lucille Jenkins have just recently acquired the Brown-Rogers-Dixson Co. The name now reads the Brown- Rogers-Dixson-Peterson-Jenkins Co. The Dorine is a hardware arti- cle that they specialize in. For the past two years Alma Plendrix has been one of the corps of stenographers that take dictation from the President of the United States. The Governor of North Carolina, for whom she worked for f11'ZJB years, gave him a' recommendation for her. Virginia Petree, Marie Lackey, and Viola Lashmit have com- bined their efforts in establishing the Bee Line Jitney Corporation, the airplane line that carries us all to and from our work. Virginia Petree tried to drive one of her jitneys on time, but she wrecked it and hasn't tried since. The picture shows the three proprietresses around the wreck. Gwendolyn Jackson, as everybody thought she would, turned to the army when she left school. She worked up to the rank of general, and like her famous namesake, is called 'Stonewall'. At this stage of the entertainment, a break in the film allowed us to learn from our friend behind us that an even more entertaining attraction would be in town next week in the form of a hair-raising movie in which our old schoolmate, Freddie Pfaff, would take the leading role. , We had scarcely recovered from this surprise when the picture was again Hashed on the screen and we saw Elizabeth Dillard rather ostentatiously displaying the fact that she was Americals foremost clairvoyant. We next saw Howard Bagwell, the usurper of Paderewski's place in the hearts of music lovers, in the midst of his preparation for his trans-European tour. 60 BLACK AND GOLD While waiting for the next scene, we bought from a passing news vender, a copy of the New York Gazetteer, and were agreeably sur- prised to ascertain that its business management was administered by Jacob Sosnik of Pine Whispers fame. The next scene showed Elizabeth Rominger, American philan- thropist and donor of Winston-Salem Junior College, with Sarah Urband, President of that institution, and Robert Preston Professor of Chemistry. My companion now noticed a circular left in the adjacent seat which portrayed the fact that a hot mayorality contest was waging in town with Alice Lambe and Davie Bell Eaton as principals, and that Ella Cannon Hill would have been a candidate were it not for the fact that she had not yet fully recovered from the abrupt termina- tion to the little drama of heart-throbs between her and a member of the Class of '25 whose name was withheld. The next view revealed Mildred Enochs with her partners, Jes- sie Davis and Violet Houts, the greatest importers of modern com- pacts in America, Meldon Holjes, Constructive Engineer, Oscar Crotts, graduate of 53 high schools and colleges, Lena Davis, well known sociologist, Joe Carlton, international authority on forensic technique and silver-tongued orator of world fame. Adelaide King was next flashed on the screen, at work in her studio on her busts of the famous lawyers, Myrtle Hart and Annie Sue Holland. 'The next pictures showed us Edna Lindsey, charming debutante of Boston, seeing pleasure-seeking Mary Gentry off on a globe- trotting expedition, Harold Ellison in his characteristic pose stump- speaking for the freedom of dumb brutes, Margaret Vaughn hugely enjoying a baseball game in which 'George Hatcher was starring, Spruill Thornton, tennis king, in the execution of his most difficult and effective strokes, Frances Hahn directing the famous Cude- Major-Sissons String Band, Graves Wilson in front of his magnifi- cent city home built from the proceeds of his great invention-a machine for turning out class prophecies. Joyce Warner, we next learned, had become famous as the author of How to Be Happy Though Unmarried, Ralph Hobson as an expert in pulling ladies' teeth, and Charley Todd, Minister Plenipo- tentiary to the Court of Afghanistan. Glimpses of the City of Washington showed us Walter Newman, Head of the Department of Electric Service, Lewis Burns, of the School of Fine and Applied Arts, Lawrence Dalton, Professor of Chemistry, George Washington University, Buck Finlator, United States Senator. News flashed from Chicago told us that James Shore had dram- atized Charles Creech's famous best-seller, Latin not a Dead Lan- nuumiuimuuu ummimiiiHiiiiiiiiiIIIIIii1IiiiIIImmmumimmui111Hii1i11iiimimuiII111I1II1nnnnmmmimm14IiI1II1IIIIIIImimnnimumunmmmiititimi1imwmuiiiiiiimiimn guage, that Edward Raper was getting rich on the sale of his sonnet, How to Overcome Bashfulnessf' that Oscar Flavius Hege and Burton Barber had incorporated a new typewriting concern-The Hege-Barber Work Easy Company. From Cleveland, Ohio, came the news: Vann Lineback had as- sumed his duties as rector of the fashionable suburban church of St. Georgeg Tom Smothers had published a new dictionary with 20,000 words of over fifteen syllables, Walter Austin and Eddie Daye had opened a Men's Ready-to-Wear Shop, featuring 100 inch trousers and stay puts, Fleet Smith in a voting contest had won out as the most popular M. D. of the cityg Lewis Correll had accepted the po- sition as official reader for the English Department of the City High School. Rapid glimpses appeared next of classmates famous in the literary- musical world: Elizabeth Wilkinson, Society editor of New York World, Milton Jarvis, Professor of Latin, University of North Carolina, Walter Owen, Head of State School of Dramaticsg Ed- ward Mickey, greatest violinist of the dayg Wesley Williams, expert in the art of deciphering handwritingg Stephen Morrisett, composer and pianist of international fame, Casper Austin, authority on raising the intelligence quotients of high school studentsg Richard Brown, highest paid sports writer in the worldg Ralph Elliott and Marshall Cahill, editors of the Daily Shorthand News, Virda Morton, Palmer writing expertg Helen Craddock, Principal of the Maiden Ladies' Business College. A glimpse into the Hippodrome was next given with Galloway Reynolds and David Fisher in their famous stunt: Midgets of Toyland. Then appeared Luella Spaugh, surrounded by many admirers, demonstrating how to drive a car and entertain one's best beau at the same time. Then Margaret Robinson was seen walking hurriedly to her office that she might accommodate the countless clients seeking advice on the technique of shorthand. John Kirby then appeared posing as Flaming Youth in the masterpiece of that title painted by Janet Blum. And with this, Who's Who in 1935 ended, and as I left the movies I hoped that Ott in the stilly night Ere slumber's chain had bound me, Fond memory would bring the light Of other days around me. -Elizabeth Wilkinson -Gra-ver Wilson -Tom Smothers -Spruill Thornton. 62 BLACK AND GOLD lm, , ww .ll .lmwll W 11-ml,llll1111.1umllllmllwmlwmmnw '.',': :,.. 323' 1 f l Q.. 24' 'l i JOLLIEST Elizabeth Hines Paul Hendricks MOST INTEI.LEC'I'UAI.

C., do realize that this edifice of knowledge to which we have contributed so many weary hours, is about to be deprived of our presence: we do with unerring forethought leave to the class of '26 the greater portion of our vast possessions. Thus do we declare this our Last Will and Testament, and we do hereby dispose of our belongings as follows: FIRST: To our beloved city we do give our sincere thanks for the many opportunities afforded us. SECOND: Upon the School Board, Mr. Latham, and Mr. Koos we bestow our gratitude for their many acts of kindness. THIRD: Upon Mr. Moore, our beloved principal, we bestow our ever- lasting friendship and our appreciation of his ceaseless labors in our behalf. FOURTH: To Mrs. Koos and Miss Royal we render our gratitude for the aid they have given us in the library work which our Senior teachers have so heavily imposed on us. FIFTH: To the faculty of our school we Wish to express our sincere appreciation for their kind interest and their instruction which en- ables us to go forth with an education equalling that of the graduates of any high school. SIXTH: We do feebly but joyously yield to the sufferers in Problems in American Democracy the nerve-racking hours we have spent while trying to formulate our notes on various and numerous-yea, numer- ous-questions. SEVENTH: To Carolyn Nash we do entrust Martha Maslin's duty of making announcements in chapel. EIGHTH: To Frances Coleman we do will the inimitable manner in which Ella Cannon Hill trips to and fro in the Cafeteria. NINTH: We, the Class of ,25, do bequeath Spruill Thornton's luxuri- antly long eyelashes to the flappers, to be divided among them. TENTH: To Ted Borries we do bequeath Frances Hahn's slender- ness, with her valuable hints on How to Reduce. ELEVENTH: To Reid Latham we give Dave Fisher's sufficiently large feet, realizing that the former has difficulty in moving quickly on the dainty digits he now possesses. TWELFTH: To all incoming seniors who abstain from the use of hair-groom, sta-comb, or Glo-co, we do will Eddy Daye's formula of axle grease, cotton-seed oil, and octagon soap, the result of which combination is guaranteed to make smooth and shiny the curliest locks. .n il! Viggo BLACK AND GOLD 65 THIRTEENTH: To Lyman Sales, who is at present too high-minded, we leave Casper Austin's inches, which we hope will bring him down. FOURTEENTH: To Joe Petree we bequeath George Hatcher's athletic ability and popularity among the Happers. Here's hoping that he improves the former, however, we think the latter has been carried too far already. FII-'TEENTHZ We gladly leave Tom Smothers' vocabulary to Al- phonse Daye. SIXTEENTH: To Russell Plaster we bequeath Sam Buie's calm, serene, handsome, good-natured, and blank expression. SEVENTEENTH: To Thomas Griffin we bequeath John Kirby's freck- led face, red hair, and fiery temper, his famous blush, however, he re- fuses to relinquish. EIGHTEENTH: To Archie Shreves we leave Graves Wilson's moun- tainous dignity, executive ability and intelligence, with the hope that he will improve the latter. NINETEENTH: To Carl Orton we bequeath Franklin V. lifatthews' ability to burn up a typewriter, we do not mention his ability to tear up one. K TWENTIETH: We gladly leave fifty pounds of Paul Hendricks to William Ellison. It might be possible to supply even more in a pinch. TNVENTY-FIRST! To f'Nutt Caldwell we leave the studious nature of Milton Jarvis with the fond hope that his duties will not be too pressing. TWENTY-SECOND: To Hyman Shactman we leave Jim Shore's beauty compound, as its mirror is a fairly good substitute for the glass in the doors. TWENTY-THIRD: To all future class presidents we bequeath Joe Carlton's illustrious front lock which has adorned his noble brow for so long and has added so much to his presidential mien. CFWENTY-FOURTH! After a special conference with lvliss lvlary, we dubiously bequeath to the incoming Senior Class a portion of our politeness. Lastly, be it specifically noted that we do not bequeath to any Senior classes the difficulties that we, the Seniors of 1925, have had in satisfactorily arranging our statistics, prophecy, history, and will. We do hereby appoint our friend, Claude Joyner, sole executor of this our Last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we the undersigned, do set our seal this, the fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord, 1925. Witnesses: ELIZABETH DILLARD LAURA WILL SMITH S 1. JACOB A.

Only those of keen perception and untiring diligence can wind their way along the paths of the bewildering maze that life seems to make more perplexing and intricate with the passage of each year. The rash and foolhardy rush blindly forward and are soon irrevocably lost along the tortuous trails that lead nowhere. The weak and timid are ap- palled by the darkness and dreariness that the true problems of life BLACK AND GOLD ww1wwwwwwwwwwwwwwmwwww11111111UummW11wwumwwuw YW Ll M ar 9 I-' H Q Q 'C Q ff x A ., .- Z LL! w 4 U3 fx :: ., z W E 47 Q IZ 41 : L, Fc C4 2 cr Ld 3 Z BLACK AND GOLD 69 seem to reflect and they do not advance far into the cavern from which only the strong return. The self-conscious can not make any headway, for they are stumbling along, walking backwards trying to see who is ridiculing them, but self-consciousness is a not incurable disease, for which the best prescription is the constant association with people. The so-called brilliant men sometimes begin their journey with a splendid spurt, but, alas! many of them soon see no sense in continu- ing the race, and languor and listlessness cause them to drop by the wayside where they are usually engulfed in the mud of dissipation, social estrangement, vain regret, despair, bitterness, death. Some flounder wildly, shrieking at their inability to proceed safely and sanelyg others mercilessly beat their brains out against the jagged rocks of obstacle and resistance which they do not know how to re- move or surmount. The majority-the masses-Hpitter and patter, day in and day out, along the winding trail that never ends. They take life as they find it, and they leave it none the better for their having found it. They have not yet been thoroughly awakened to the necessity of scrutinizing life as a great general would size up the lay of the land before he charges the enemy. They attack the problems of life with no weapons of deliberation and discrimination, and the result is, they are overwhelmed if not vanquished. Moralizing, preaching, teaching, urging, pleading, or praying can arouse no man to take advantage of the higher and nobler things that life affords unless there lies smouldering somewhere in his breast a spark of a desire to be somebody, an ambition that can be fanned into a flame that will enkindle his spirit and lead him Nto compel the world to give him what he wants. There is something in the man, then, that must respond to entreaty and advice before he can ac- complish anything worth while. Of course we can make our lives greater successes if we study the lives of the men who have gone before us and benefit by the way they lived, and the way they made a success. However, the most essential requisite of a successful fighter is diligence. It is the assiduous worker who wins in the long run. The man who has a definite goal to reach, who thinks and thinks deliberately, who has the stamina, the diligence, to stick to his job until it is completed, despite various disappointments and temptations to quit-he is the man who will thread the labyrinth of the world's most difficult problems and come out with flying colors! -Harold Ellison 70 BLACK AND GOLD THE OUTSIDE There is a pathetic little story told about the painting of The Last Supper. The great painter, Leonardo da Vinci, had worked on the painting for a long time, and had at last decided upon all the characters except Christ and Judas. He finally found, however, a man who resembled the real Christ and who agreed to pose for the picture. The problem remained to find a man who he thought' re- sembled Judas. For the space of twenty years or so he searched for one who could do this to his satisfaction. One day, while walking through a prison, he saw a man who suited his needs exactly. He secured the man's services and painted the picture. VVhen the work was done the man turned to Leonardo da Vinci and said, I am the same one who posed for the picture of Christ twenty years ago. How could one man resemble both men, you ask? Somebody will tell you that time did it. Time alone did not do it, however. Time merely paints the marks upon our features, we tell him what kind of marks to put on. God forgives us for our wrongs, but nature never does. No sin can be committed in this and against this world without our paying the penalty. Every little act that we commit leaves its imprint on us. Little wrinkles of hardness, crime, fear, sorrow, sin-like the old branding iron of medieval times nature marks the transgressor. The girls have heard it said many times, I suppose, that if a girl isn't pretty at twenty it isn't her fault, but if she isn't beautiful at forty, it is her fault. This statement can also be applied to the boys. If you would look good, do good. -G. W., ,25. A NEW BEGINNING We seniors have worked hard for eleven long, hard years, and it is pleasant to think that now we are at the end of the race, however, that is only part of the truth. The end of this race is only the begin- ning of a race far more important than the ending of a high school career. Those who go to college have the opportunity of beginning all over again and, profiting by their former mistakes, of making a career for themselves which shall be a credit' to them and to their friends. Experience is the best teacher, it is said, and we all know this state- ment to be true. May their high school experiences point out to them the road to take through their college journey. mumuummiviiiirmnnnmuiInuunuIrinnnnn1III11I1I11IInInmmmmumuiuiiinniumunuummnnmumimmmnmiiitiumini1iiiiiiiiiiit1iwmnunmu.ummiiiiiiuwmmnnmimunn To those who are going out into the working world, a great opportunity is presented. They are really beginning their lives. Let them be careful to deal with others as they wish to be dealt With. Let them rememAtFf ' ' ot to make money, but to build character and to lift up the human race into higher standards of thought and action. To those who do not go on, but stay here in the school, let it be said that the fact that they have been here longer than the seniors of next year Will give them a greater opportunity to be leaders in the things which affect our school. Let it be their duty to lead others on to greater things than they have known in the paSt a.nd to uphold the standards of the school. In conclusion, may we all take advantage of our opportunities, the new opportunities which shall be presented to us and let us say with Dickens and Tiny Tim: HGod bless us every one. -S. M., '25. BLACK AND GOLD NEVVSPAPER STAFF BLACK AND GOLD 73 PINE WI-IISPERS This year marks the beginning of our high school newspaper, christened Pine Whispers by popular vote. If the newspaper was an experiment, then there is no doubt that it has proved a successful one. At the beginning of the year a prize of ten dollars was offered the student suggesting the best name for the newspaper. Evidently Hgreat minds run in the same channel for the name Pine Whispers was suggested by Katherine Boyles, Edwina Martin, and James Shore. When this title received the majority of votes in the school, each of the authors was awarded five dollars. The newspaper staff was selected by the faculty from a number of candidates with the view of using people interested in journalism. No student was permitted to serve on both the newspaper and the magazine staff. The staff, with Elizabeth Wilkinson as Editor-in- Chief, and Laila VVright as Managing Editor, has been able to pre- sent the school with a good paper every week, an accomplishment of which few North Carolina high schools can boast. The material which went into Pine Whispers was taken from the daily events of school life. A joke column, headed by an attractive cartoon, was thrown open to public contribution and a free lunch was awarded each week to the author of the best joke. During the year, several interesting articles were contributed by students to the Open Forum of the newspaper. Elizabeth Wilkinson and Laila Wright have furnished the read- ers with some excellent editorials, well worded and provocative of thought. The newspaper material has always been carefully arranged and an attractive drawing, featuring pine trees, heads the front page. We are very proud of this initial attempt of our newspaper and we hope to have it carry off the state prize next year. -Loretta Carroll, '26. , v J M XQWI' 'Wx ,Q I itil: ,- f.-1 x . , - BLACK AND GOLD B, y Si. .-z:-: W 74 W , ,QQ M, A E L? 1 gt E' X A,,.:.

According to the judge of the papers, Mr. S. E. Bartow, of the A. N. Palmer Co., the papers showed the best workthat has ever been submitted from the State of North Carolina. They were so good, in fact, that he has asked for copies to be made for en- graving and publication in the American Penmanf' Those who won prizes. are as follows: Eighth Grade, Rebecca Gough, Ninth 'Grade, Lucille Perry, Tenth Grade, Lessie Brown Phillips. The specimens were returned to bliss Tickle by Mr. Bartow, who very clearly indicated that the Eleventh Grade place had been awarded Miss Virda Morton. This was announced, but later it became known that Mr. Bartow, after conferring with Mr. Palmer, had reversed his hrst decision and had given this distinction to States- yille. Mr. Bartow wrote Miss Tickle, in response to a telegram of inquiry as to which report was right, that Virda's paper was excep- tionally good, and that the contest was very, very close. The following is an extract from Mr. Bartow's letter with re- igard to the prizes Winston-Salem won: The specimens submitted by Rebecca Gough, Lucille Perry, and Lessie Brown Phillips are magnificent. You are to be congratulated lon getting so many of the prizes and we are delighted that the good fwork is carrying on. i Winston-Salem also took the grand prize for winning the great- est number of prizes. The prizes were 52.50 each, and the grand vprize was SES. As the grand prize came to the school and not to any certain person, no decision has been made as to what shall be done with it. Much of the credit that' comes to the High School is deserved by Miss Flossy Tickle, who, it will be remembered, is just completing her third year as Supervisor of Penmanship in this school. It is through her patience and her skilful guidance that we have won these prizes, and we look forward to like successes in the future. -G. W., '25. MUSICAL ACTIVITIES OF THE YEAR Never in the history of the High School has the musical side of the school life been so successful. The school has been very fortunate in keeping the services of Mr. Breach and Mr. Kutschinski. In addi- tion, Miss Willman has been in charge of the choral department. All in BLACK AND GOLD .suumqwm HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA BLACK AND GOLD 77 these most efficient teachers deserve our hearty thanks for their splen- did efforts. The orchestra, now a sixty-five piece organization, has made progress in leaps and bounds under the direction of Mr. Kutschinski. Many of us remember the little eight piece orchestra which played for chapel in the old building. What a contrast! Every essential instrument of the modern symphony orchestra is represented, making a well balanced, even ensemble. All that has been said of the orchestra applies to the band as well. lt may be said, in passing, that ours is the only high school band in the state. The Boys' and Girls, Glee Clubs may be considered to have had their real beginnings this year. Miss Willman has done wonders with the raw material which she had to start with. Although neither club won the cup in the State Contest, many favorable comments were made by people who heard the contest. . A new department of musical activity this year has been the voice training class. In this group each member receives individual training under the expert supervision of hir. Breach. Chorus num- liers are also studied and presented. Mr. Breach is looking forward to the great things which he believes the class can accomplish next year. ' lllany people say that it makes no difference whether one wins or loses, that it is a question of how one plays the game, our school has played the game well and won too. ln the State-wide Musical Con- test we won the Qrchestra Loving Cup, the Mixed Chorus Cup, the Baritone Solo Cup, and the Piano Solo Cup. These victories repre- sented thirty points, and thus won for us the large cup for the most musical school in the state. Again, let it be said that all of the success of the department belongs to the untiring efforts of the teachers and we thank them most sincerely and wish an even better year for 1925-26. - -S. Ill. ,Zi THE TYPEWRITING TEAM In their trip to Raleigh on April 24-th, the typewriting contes- tants were given everything that they desired except the thing that they desired above all other things-the championship. In their average the team went back to the average of year before last when the Winston-Salem team won the contest. They underwent the average of last year, when they lost the championship for the first time in seven years, by seven words. It seems good to be so nea.r the best in the State, but still mem- bers of the team are inclined to think that defeat would not be so hard wwummmwwwmmm,Hwwwwwwwwwwmywwmmwwmm:wwwuwmnmnmuuum11w1wHmmmlmunwwwmuNuwNmmw11mumumunmmm.

Charlotte won first in the State with an average of 49 words per minute. Winston-Salem had an average of 48 2-3, thereby losing the championship by a. third of a word. The members of the team were Curtis Quate, Ralph Elliott, Edgar Harwood, Marshall Cahill, Herbert Winecoff, Harvey Brown, Franklin Matthews, and Job Holt, alternate. The three with the highest average were Franklin Matthews, 54, Ralph Elliott, 48, Marshall Cahill, 44. The first year team fared better than the second year team, bringing away both first and second places in the State. David Fisher won first place with an average of 46, while Catherine Byrum won second place with an average of 45. Ruth Carter made an average of 41, thereby winning fourth place in the State. Herbert Winecoff won first place in the high schools of the State in the one minute contest. He wrote 68 perfect words in one minute. Both of the teachers, Misses Oldham and Brand, are to be com- mended for the fine work they have been doing with the team and the typists in general. It is an almost sure bet that the old W.-S. H. S. will in 1926 again Hcopl' the prize that she held for so long a time. -G. W. DECLAIMING The interest in declaiming this year was very good, due probably to Mr. James' public speaking class. About eight girls entered and the competition was very keen, especially among Mell Efird, lklildred Poe and Katharine Boyles. ln the end, however, Katharine Boyles was selected to represent the girls, and Walter Johnston, the boys, in the Guilford Declamation which was held in the Memorial Hall at Guilford. Walter's declamation was on the subject of The Di- vidends Received from Education. Katharineys was A Mother Who Wouldn't Give Up, half comedy and half tragedy. Both Katharine and Walter were in the finals, an honor that only Winston- Salem had. There were only four boys and four girls in the finals and though Winston-Salem won no first places, she was Well represented by her declaimers, Walter winning second place. After the declamation at Guilford, Walter entered the Trinity Declamation of the class of 1909. There were about thirty contestants from the three states, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. Walter used his same declamation f'Educational Dividendsn and Won third place. In the Wake Forest Declamation Joe Carlton was the only contestant from our high school. His subject was well chosen, being BLACK AND GOLD mumwwNwuw11mywwwwwwmuuww1umHw1w11111um1111111Mmwwmmww DEBATIN G TEAM BLACK AND GOLD 81 whoiwiiiimi1111.1ii.i1111i11111i111i1mmm1111,11i111iii1iuwmy1H1iti1i..mnimiitmyin.wwiwii.iw,m.i.r..i..ui..rumm,wmwwwiwwiw1111111111immwiwwwmmwww. f'Nationalism is Inter-nationalism is Super-nationalism. The topic was well suited to Joe's dignified and impressive manner of speaking and the judges must have thought so too, as he received a gold medal for winning first place. --JI. S. '26 DEBATING That thirteen is an unlucky number has been proved again, for in the thirteenth annual Aycock Memorial Debate Winston-Salem lost to VVilson in the finals at Chapel Hill. lt was certainly lucky for Wilson though, for by winning in the finals they gained perma- nent possession of the cup since this was their second consecutive victory. The subject for the debate this year was especially appropriate and timely. It was, Resolved: That North Carolina Should Ratify the Port Terminals and VVater Transportation Act. The afhrmative was upheld by Mell Efird and Joe Carltong the negative, by Spruill Thornton and Loretta Carroll. Under the supervision of Mr. Mann and lVIr. James the team has done especially creditable work, as was proved by their reaching Chapel Hill Without falling by the wayside. The girls should be especially proud of the team, for this is only the second time in the history of our thigh school that a girl has been a member of the team. In 1920 there were three girls on the team and this year there were two. Both in the arguments presented and in the manner of delivery the team this year is regarded as one of the best that the Black and Gold has ever had. -Ill. S., '26. in-P BLACK AND GOLD BLACK AND GOLD 83 THE MONOGRAM CLUB Being one of a very few Monogram Clubs in the state, the VVinston-Salem group, now completing its fifth year of existence, has been held as a model for other aspiring clubs, many requests having been received for information and data concerning it. From the following words of Mr. Joyner, we gain an idea of the real value of the wearers of the High School athletic insignia, HThe lVIonogra.m Club is an organization which promotes clean athletics of all kinds. At some future time this club will be able to put across anything which the Athletic Association undertakesf, Those who have contributed such splendid leadership this year are: President, Homer Houchinsg Vice-President, George Lentzg Secretary-Treasurer, George Hatcher. These men, along with the ready cooperation of the athletic coaches, Mr. T. Srygley, Mr. C. Kesler, Mr. C. Joyner, and Mr. Z. Fortescue, have made possible the various activities of the club. The primary purpose of the Monogram Club is to sponsor any athletic program and to act in cooperation with any project attempted by the school. This year it has covered a rather wide field. The most benehcial and useful work of the club was the formation of an injury fund, which paid all expenses of anyone injured While con- testing in athletic games. It was also this club that sponsored the selling of tickets for HAmerica. Qnly members of a varsity squad of the five major sports, foot- ball, baseball, basketball, track, and tennis, are eligible for member- ship. Thus it is indeed a coveted honor to be among those who belong to the Monogram Club. -Spruill Thornton, ,25. THE HI-Y The Hi-Y Clubs have probably had the best year in their history in Winston-Salem. We of the Y. M. C. A. are proud of their ac- complishments, so says Mr. A. C. Roberts, leader of the Hi-Y Clubs and Boys' Work Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Certainly the members of the three clubs have this year put across the most extensive program since the debut of the organization. At the beginning of the year the officers of the three groups met in con- ference at Camp Lasater and prepared a program that was destined to raise the standards of the Hi-Y. Having been divided into three BLACK AND GOLD wwmmUwww111w1111wwwwwwwwwmmwwmwuuNunumwwwunnu1 my u nu uv I mum n CLUB HI-Y . BLACK AND GOLD 85 committees, religious, service, and social, the oflicers outlined their work in a very commendable manner. The Religious Committee decided, as has been the custom, to have a Bible study course at each weekly meeting with an examination coming at the end of the year. The committee also planned a study for the boys of the High School. This course opened on February l2th, with Dr. Howard E. Rondthaler, teacher. Some three hundred boys attended these meetings. Along the service line, the Hi-Y has done some great work. On October 20th, a. Come Clean Campaign was launched in the school among the boys and girls. Six hundred and fifty pledges were made by the student body. ln the 50,000 Club week, which began Decem- ber 14th, the Hi-Y secured 50 members. The clubs also aided in securing delegates to go to the Older Boys' Conference in High Point. ln addition, an orchestra was sent. The Social Committee this year has staged more social events than in any other year. On October 9th, the men of the High School faculty and the Directors of the Y. M. C. A. were the guests of the clubs. The regular Christmas party occurred December 23 in the High School Cafeteria, the girls being the guests on this auspicious occasion. On the night of January 29, the Y. NI. C. A. was the scene of a gay party for the G-Y, a newly organized club. An evening was also set aside for a get-together of the boys and their parents. This night, March 26, saw one hundred and forty-seven present in the Cafeteria. VVith such activities behind them, the Hi-Y can truly proclaim the year of 1924-25 to have been the most successful in its history. Throughout the year the clubs have shown a splendid spirit, with good fellowship and cooperation closely intermingled. Those who have so faithfully served in the capacity of officers this year are as follows: Senior Junior Sophomore President: Joe Carlton Norman Miller Homer McCann Vice-Pres.: Fleet Smith Ned Heefner Dwight Linville Sefy.-Trees.: James Crawford Marion Follin Samuel Rose Faculty Adfviser: Mr. Srygley Mr. Garrett Mr. Bailey Teacher: Rev.

An un- usually large amount has been accomplished by the club, especially when one takes into consideration the fact that it was organized only this year. It has captured a number of coveted prizes and has shed much honor and glory on old R. J. R. H. S. A glance over the list of things which have taken place will suflice in bringing about a reali- zation of the splendid work they have done. The school first heard from the club in a one-act play, The Boorf' which was produced in chapel and later at Granville School. The next thing was another one-act play, f'Peggy, a Carolina folk play, also given before the school at chapel. Then came one of the events which the school greatly enjoyed and appreciated, namely, the reading of Dickens' Christmas Carol by the famous Professor Koch. However, just before Professor Koch gave his reading one of the most important events of the dramatic year took place. The first big play, the first one for which admission was charged, was presented. This play, Beyond The Horizon, was a great success and the players were so much encouraged that on May 18 the play Seventeen was presented. The Thrift Play Contest was also undertaken by the Dramatic Club and much interest was stimulated. The Diabolical Circle and Little Lady Dresdenf' sponsored by Mr. Bailey and the players, contributed to the success of the junior-Senior Reception. Several other contests were held and in all of them our players brought home the bacon. Green Paint by Pierson Ricks won first place at Chapel Hill in a contest of play Writing. This play was produced in our chapel on May 6th, and at Chapel Hill at a later date. In this same contest the play The Deserter by Loretta Carroll won third place and this was published in the March issue of the Black and Gold. One more play was produced in chapel. lt was an amusing one-act comedy, 'fEnter The Hero, which the students enjoyed very much. Last, and perhaps most exciting, was the triangular acting contest. The play selected was required to have at least three characters, and each school was to play against two others on the same night. The play which was selected to represent W.-S. H. S. was Fixin's. It was a Carolina folk play and was first presented in chapel, next in Greens- boro against Greensboro and Reidsville, then in North Wilkesboro in BLACK AND GOLD 93: Z 223 525 lids? BLACK AND' GOLD S9 against North Wilkesboro, and in Winston-Salem against Charlotte. ln all of these contests we were victorious and on lylay the eighth it was produced in Chapel Hill against the Eastern Champions, with the same happy result. lt was produced twice moreg at the Recrea- tional Supervisorsl Conference and at Granville School for the Parent- Teacherls Association. Thus closed a most successful first year for the club, and every student hopes that when the second anniversary rolls around it will see a year as successful and happy as this has been. -JM. S. '25 RHYTHMIC CLUB The Rhythmic Club is one of the new organizations of our high school. It was formed this year under the leadership of lyliss Helen Jamieson, physical education director. All girls who had at least a B average in Physical Education and who submitted a permit with the parents' signature thereon were eligible for membership. The aim and purpose of the club was to develop the body in strength and in grace. The club was composed of thirty-five girls from all four classes. Lucile Norman was elected President and Mary Jenkins lyliller was elected Secretary-Treasurer. The club met every Thusday after- noon, and each member was required to be present, at which time regular rhythmic exercises were taken. A beautiful pageant, UThe Awakening of Spring, was given some time ago in connection with the Physical Education demonstra- tion. The club dyed and made their costumes for this pageant. The club is now working on a pageant to be presented during chapel period, the title of which is, The Gypsy Fortune Tellerf' with Thelma Saunders as the Girl and lllarguerite Burke, the Gypsy. Along with the work some good times were also enjoyed. A party was given on St. Valentine's Day, at which almost every mem- ber was present. lluch credit for the success of this club is due Miss Jamieson. Every girl who participated in its activities feels that it has helped her a great deal and is looking forward to continuing this enjoyable class next year. -Lucile Norman, '26. BLACK AND GOLD SCOUTS GIRL BLACK AND GOLD 91 GIRL SCOUTS The first 'Girl Scout Troop in Winstion-Salem originated in the High School in January, 1924, under the leadership of Miss Gladys Moore. Since then many others have been formed throughout the city, and there are now four active troops in the High School. Miss Moore and Miss Martin have troop one, and the other leaders are Miss Charlotte Stevenson, Miss Lois Efird, Miss Kelly, and Miss Jamieson. There are approximately seventy-five Scouts in these four troops, and they are earnestly endeavoring to live up to their Scout laws, their motto, Be Preparedf' and their slogan, 'iDo A Good Turn Daily. These Scouts have proved themselves valuable in so many ways that they have been assigned a part in the Community Chest. Last fall Camp Lasater, belonging to the Boy Scouts of the city, was turned over to the Girl Scouts for one week-end. Many took advantage of this opportunity and enjoyed three days of fun, mixed with unusual progress shown in passing the various tests. When school started last fall, those Scouts who had already been through at least one year of High School realized the sad plight of the Freshman who gets lost on the first day of school and who feels so out of place, so they worked out a plan which proved very help- ful to many a puzzled new-comer. Posted on every floor, at various places, they acted as guides between each period, and their service was greatly appreciated. During the District Teachers Convention in Winston-Salem, they also did valuable service acting as guides to the visitors. Several weeks ago the Scouts, combined with the Science Classes, put on a very effective Wild Flower Campaign. One issue of Pine Whispers was devoted entirely to essays and poems on Wild Flower Conservation, and there were contests for the best posters and slogans on the subject. Several Scouts interviewed prominent people in VVinston-Salem, to find their opinions on the campaign, and these in- terviews were published in the local papers. Troop I recently completed the National Red Cross Test, for which they are entitled to a National Red Cross First Aid Certificate. In order to accomplish this, they were coached by Miss Lois Efird and Miss Sara Jeffries. On lllonday evening, May -ith, there was held at the Robert E. Lee Hotel a Mother and Daughter Banquet. The Scouts helped a great deal in backing up this movement, and a very impressive pro- gram was rendered, which was enjoyed by a large number of mothers and daughters in the city. BLACK AND GOLD BLACK AND GOLD 93 On May 22 all the Scouts in Winston-Salem planned a City Rally at Southside Park. Here Tenderfoot and Second Class Scouts were invested, and those who had earned different badges in Scout Work received them at that time. Each troop sang its song and gave its motto. Through the generosity of the Civitan Club here, the Girl Scouts have been given a camp site in a beautiful place near Vade lVIecum, C. They have long anticipated having a camp of their own, and now their hopes have been realized. Cn June 10th, Camp Civitan will open under the direction of Miss Moore, and continue for three weeks. Surely the Scouts will prove their gratitude for this wonder- ful gift from the Civitan Club by attending the camp, and making the best of this Hne opportunity to develop into better citizens of Winston-Salem. - -Ida C. Gallouvzy, '27. THE AUDITORIUM CLUB Having successfully passed through its first year of existence, the Auditorium Club is destined to live as an organization after many others have succumbed to Old Man Time 5 for as long as the Memo- rial Auditorium stands this club will survive. From the following statement by Mr. Moore, we see that this body has already been of value. The Auditorium Club has rendered some fine service to the school this year, he said. It would be well to consider the history of the club in brief. At the beginning of the year, the necessity for ushers arose when the Civic Music Commission began its concerts. Mr. Moore then chose boys from the three upper classes who were averaging B or above. The next step was the organization which was completed at the next meeting, the following oHicers being elected: President, Spruill Thorn- ton, Vice-Presidents, Joe Carlton and George Higgins. This year the Auditorium Club has conhned itself solely to ser- vice and has remained free from the field of social events. However, it is expected that next year the club will extend its program to wider activities. Politeness has been the motto throughout the year and it is hoped that no offense, no matter how petty, has been offered any guest, for it is in that capacity that the audience is at all times considered. -S T '25 . ., .

They were directed by Miss Flora Willman, who is capable of giving excellent training in this kind of work. The clubs are composed of a certain number of picked singers, who before being accepted as a member of the group, were required to stand a rigid test. At the beginning of the year oiiicers were elected, special care being taken to choose those particularly fitted for the positions. The officers of the Girls' Glee Club were: President, Hilda Hester, Vice- President, Ruth Clark, Secretary and Treasurer, Marguerite Sailor, Librarian, Mary Masten. Officers of the Boys' Glee Club were: President, Stephen Morrisettg Vice-President, Hubert Hill, Secretary and Treasurer, William Justice, Sergeant-at-arms, Lewis Harper. The two clubs have rendered several programs on various occas- ions. In November they appeared on the program for the Southern lVlusic Conference. The Girls' Glee Club had charge of the chapel exercise February 24th, at which time they gave a short, but inter- esting entertainment in costume. And in March the two clubs sang for the Carolina Recreational Conference. Gur school stood high among the thirty-eight schools represented in the State-wide Music Contest which was held in Greensboro April 23rd and 24th. The Boys' Glee Club tied with High Point for second place, but as a re- sult of another tryout, the Winston boys were placed third. The final appearance was in Lexington on Friday night, May Sth. Thus, even though they are new organizations, our Glee Clubs have taken a very prominent part in the school's activities. In addition to these two clubs, we also have a mixed chorus, and these three organizations have added much pleasure to our school life. Pleasure is not all they have added, howeverg they have played a very important part in our instruction. Through the efforts of Mr. Breach and Miss Willman a greater appreciation of music is being fostered, not only among those who sing but also among those who hear. In fact, we feel that a very important part of our life is being developed and carefully supervised. -P.

A club of this kind has long been needed, but all other attempts to form one have hitherto failed. Through the efforts of Mr. Moore and some of the members of the faculty the club was organized this year. Miss Beasley, the secretary of the Girl Reserves of the city, is at the head of this organi- zation, and the faculty advisers are: Miss Mary Poteat, Miss Louise Futrell, Miss Olive Smith, Mrs. Weaver Mann, and Miss Anna Lula Dobson. The twenty-four charter members were: llth Grade: Doris Burchette, Jesse Davis, Annie Goff, Elva Lee Kenerly, Martha Maslin, Caroline Price, Elizabeth Rose, and Mar- garet Vaughn. 10th Grade: Katherine Boyles, Anna Cly, May Kreeger, Sara McCorkle, Carolyn Nash, Lucile Norman, Katherine Pfohl, Lessie Brown Phillips, Laila Wright, and Pauline Cly. 9th Grade: Sarah Efird, Elizabeth Hanes, Alice Luvisa, Doris Mattox, Aurelia Plumly, and Nancy Reynolds. From this number the following officers were elected at the be- ginning of the year: President, Laila Wright, Vice-President, Nancy Reynolds, Secretary, Carolyn Nash, Treasurer, Margaret Vaughn. After much discussion the girls decided to call the club the G-Y QGirls'-YD, the purpose of which is To promote Christian fellowship among all, and become, through service to others, a social and spiritual force in our school, church, and community. Names of prospective' new members were later passed upon, and submitted to the High School Council for approval. The girls selected then received a special invitation to attend the club meeting. Those fortunate enough to be invited were: Eloise Vaughn, Lucy Burchette, lda Clifton Ga.lloway, Rachael Carroll, Ruby Heggie, Virginia Lasater, Elizabeth Flynt, Margaret Vick, Virginia Tutt, Janet Lowe, and Margaret Siewers. On the whole this has been a most successful year for our new club. Though the freshmen are not admitted to this club at the present, perhaps in a few years they, too, will be represented. -P.

The asso- ciation was organized in the first part of the school year and officers were elected. A constitution was drawn up and by-laws were made. The Library Pages are pupils of the three upper grades who volunteer to give one period a day to help in the library. They have almost entire control of the passes and are in charge of various other duties, including straightening of books, mending books, filing news- papers, straightening up the room, and opening mail. The period which they give is a sacrifice, and, although it takes a part of the students' time, there is not one who feels it to be other than a splen- did investment, both because of that excellent spirit which prevails in the library, and because of the broadening of one's information re- garding a library. Aside from the regular work, there are pleasures and entertain- ments. The association gave a HalloWe'en Party, and later in the winter surprised Miss Royal with a birthday party on her ? birthday. May the Library Pages, Association continue to serve faithfully and to be an aid to the students, library, and librarians! -O. F. H., '25. TO- Ten thousand years ago I sang of love, To you, beside the ancient rippling Nile, And scorned life's danger, having drunk too deep Of that strange potent wine that is your smile. For I to whom love gave a second sight, Have watched the lovers of a thousand years, Have read aright the signs they left behind, And some were smiles-but, oh, the rest were tears. Thus you and I must leave a message here, Whose underlying note is joy or pain, For there are those who afterwards will read -And life is fleeting as the summer rain. So share with me the golden hours that Time, From his bright store, has flung to us on earth. To-morrow we may be drugged deep with grief- Now let us wake to life the gods of mirth. -Loretta Carroll, '26. BLACK AND GOLD u,.m.4m fmm,.,1. 11,A11H,1Hmmm.mmwwmm..

Not only among the student body has it proved its popularity, but the citizens of the city seem to have adopted it as their favorite sport also. Perhaps the reasons for its popularity are the variety of plays, and the constant excitement it furnishes the fans. Although our past season favored us somewhat disastrously in the win column, it did not pursue the same course in the actual learn- ing of football by the players themselves. I feel sure that we can truly boast of the fact that our squad received more real football ex- perience than did any other school in the state. VVith the a.bundance of new material we had, what better record could we have expected from them? The student body is due an honorable mention for the way they have backed the team during the past season. Each game found the bleachers packed to their capacityg and these loyal fans did much to keep up the fighting spirit of the team throughout all their defeats and gloomy hours. When the curtain fell in the early part of December, announcing the close of our 1924 season, we found ourselves credited with three victories, one tie, and six lossesg but much brighter prospects are in view for next year's record. May we have ten victories and omit the tie and loss column. -R. B., '25.

In the depth of Winter, it is the only sport to which the students turn their attention, and it has continuously been backed in this city by teachers and students, to which fact much of the success of the team can be laid. Under the efficient coaching of Mr. T. Q. Srygley, our team made a very creditable record this year. We were fortunate enough to have an even break in our schedule, winning nine games and losing the same number. Those who witnessed any games of the past season felt that they had received full value for the admittance fee. Several of these games were indeed exciting, and showed that some very hard Work had been put forth. Our squad next year will be led on the floor by the same man who so ably filled his position as Captain in the past season-Joe Petree. Petree is a hard worker, and one of the best floor men the local school has possessed in many years, and with five letter men back, we should reach the climax in the state basketball honors. Other members of the squad who will be seen in action next year are: Beck, Snyder, Watkins, and Lentz, who made their letter this year, along with Johnson, Plaster, and Ford, other prominent members of the squad. -R.

TEAM IRLS' BASK G BLACK AND GOLD 107 GIRLS' BASKETBALL The last whistle has sounded for the basketball team of 1925, but the echo of the cheers has not yet died. We are still able to pic- ture tall Martha. Maslin shooting a goal, and little Frances Chandler dodging under the arms of her guard, we still see that team fighting with all their abundance of vim. Nor have we forgotten that the team has shown throughout the year remarkable cooperation in the games and that the members have worked for the victory of the school rather than for their individual glory. All of the honor, however, must not be given to the first team. Those others who faithfully came out for practices deserve much praise, for without them to give opposition in practice, the varsity could never have been fully prepared to fight others. The girls this year won only four games out of nine, but they accomplished a feat hitherto impossible, winning against Greensboro. This is the Hrst time in the history of our school that the local team has defeated Greensboro and we are justly proud of them. There were only three girls on the squad who had played on the varsity before. Although they did not obtain the cup, they have won a more priceless gift, that of good sportsmanship. The managers, Aurelia Plumly and Ida Clifton Galloway, have taken much interest in the team and are better prepared than ever before to manage the squad of 1926. Martha Ma.slin, the captain, has given her team a living example of true sportsmanship by which they may grow and it is with regret that the High School loses her. On the team representing our high school were: Nlartha Maslin, Carolyn Nash, Frances Fletcher, Virginia Lasater, Aurelia Plumly, Leona Heathe, Mary Young, Doris Lentz, Frances Chandler and Elizabeth Hanes, while those who composed the reserve were: Opal Swaim, Margaret Mickey, Janet Lowe, Alice Leah Gerner, and Mary Jessie Horne. Much sincere appreciation goes to the coaches, llliss Smith, Mrs. Mann, and Mrs. Brower, for their splendid cooperation. So, as we come to the parting of the ways, we extend thanks to the team of 1925, and best wishes to the team of 1926! -E. Rose, '25.

At Davidson we were fortunate enough to uphold second place, but in the race at Chapel Hill we were doomed to be satisfied with third honorsg this record was a more substantial one than our teams of the previous years were able to establish. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. Pardington and Mr. Fora tescue, and under the leadership of Captain Houchins the team has done all in its power to capture the championship. The following is a list of events and the men who were chosen to represent our school in each: Houchins-100, 220, and broad jump, Poley-4405 Lentz- hroad jumpg Justice and Crutchfield-mileg Follin and Bates-half mile, Brewer and Blackwood--shot putg Newman and Blackwood- discus throw, Blackwood-pole vault, and javelin throwg Brewer- broad jump, running and standing high jump, Creech, Poley, Corne- lius, and Pardington--relay team.

During the season about thirty girls came regu- larly to the practices. These practices were held every Monday after- noon, and those girls going out for track were required to take it during the Physical Education periods twice a week, thus they had three practices each week. Some splendid material was turned out by the coach, Miss Jamison, and Winston-Salem ranked high in the state- wide track meet. On April the twenty-fifth, one week before the state contest, a class track meet was held. In this meet were included all the things in which we were represented in the state contest. Doris Lentz came off with the highest individual score and the Sophomore class captured the laurels with first place. Cn the following Saturday, May second, the State meet took place. Greensboro, High Point, Wentworth and Winston-Salem were represented in this contest. The events which were included in the meet were as follows: Baseball throw for distance, Basketball throw for distanceg Basketball goal shootingg Baseball relay, Flag relayg High jump g Fifty yard dash, Seventy-five yard dash, Sixty yard hurdles, Running broad jump. In many of these events Winston-Salem captured first place, but when the final score was counted, it was found to our sorrow that Greensboro had won the meet by only one point, her score being thirty-two and a half, ours being thirty-one and a halfg however, we did not have the lowest number of points as we scored above High Point, Whose score was eighteen, and Wentxvorth, whose score was two. For the highest individual score among the Winston-Salem girls, Frances Chandler took first place, followed closely by Doris Lentz. Some splendid work was exhibited by both our team and the visitors, and the meet next spring promises to be an exciting one. The greater part of the girls' track team will be returning next year, as few of them will graduate. With the added experience and new material the team of l926-27 should be a winning one and bring another glory to old Winston-Salem High by bringing home the cup. -Margaret Sharp, '25.

It was introduced into this school in the fall of 1923, and since then has steadily gained in popularity with both those who take part in the game and also those who view it from the side-lines. During the hockey season seventy-five girls came out regularly for practice. Although these were only class team practices, the num- ber of girls who came out for them was larger than was the number of the boys out for varsity football practice. The interest exhibited during the class games was high, but to make the teams work with even greater zeal, and to give them some- thing for which to work, Miss Summerell and Miss Royal offered a silver loving cup to the team winning the class championship. The freshmen, with their unequaled force and vim, captured the prize and il ect to guard it jealously during their remaining years of high ool. -75' The hockey season did not end with the class games this yearg 'Several outside games were arrangedg however, only two of these ,actually took place, both of which were with Greensboro High School. ln the game at Greensboro, much excellent playing was exhibited by both sides and the game ended in a tie, one and one, but when a re- ,turn game was played here, the VV.-S. H. S. girls showed their old iixirit and gave the Greensboro girls a hard game, eventually coming with the best end of the score. ln spite of the fact that this game is rather new to most high ools, it is even now a popular one because it is easily learned and be- f use it has several advantages over other forms of athletics for girls. lt is in many respects similar to football, but it is, of course, not so rough. Some of the advantages hockey possesses lie in the fact that a large number of girls may take part and that no one girl will be overworked, but that all will have a well distributed share of the exercise. As we have stated, the large number of girls who partici- pated testifies to the popularity of this sport. Although there were only two outside games played by the var- sity, they were enough to show the school what they may expect from the hockey team next year. Fortunately, the greater part of the team is returning and the school may look forward to boasting of not only the First team but also the best in the state. -Margaret Sharp, ,25. . nr..

TENNIS A Our school was this year represented in tennis by Spruill Thorn- mn and Joe Carlton. VVith the tremendous amount of school work ,these boys were compelled to do, very little time was found for them to secure practice, therefore, they were forced to surrender to Rocky Mount in the first round at Chapel Hill. In this contest they made a very creditable showing by winning their first set by a score of 6-33 but in the succeeding sets they were losers by a score of 6-2, 6-3g thus they were eliminated from the state championship race. Thornton represented us in the single matches. ' Qnly two real matches have been played so far this year, both of which were played last fall with High Point in which our team emerged victorious in both matches. On Tuesday, April 28th, Thornton defeated Carlton in the single matches in which he was chosen as captain of the team. This struggle proved to be very exciting from beginning to end, and not until the final game, was the winner able to overcome his opponent by winning two out of three sets. The spring tennis tournament is now in full swing, and games are to be played with Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, and Lexington. Our representatives have been able to obtain some prac- tice in the past few weeks, and a good record is expected from our men in this tournament. Another attraction along this line of athletics is the inter-class tournament which is now being heldg some very skilled players are showing their ability on the courts, and some very promising material is assured for next year's varsity team. -R.

A large number of girls braved the icy waters of March and attended the practices. regularly. Recreational swimming classes are held on Monday of each week. These classes are open to any girl who wishes to learn to swim, or to swim for recreation. This furnishes a good opportunity for the girl who enjoys this sport and can not attend the regular practices on Tuesday and Friday.

At last she took to water But though she swam each day, She saw no lessening shadow, Till kind Fate found a way: Poised above a shallow pool She did a swan dive, freeg Her poor head struck the bottom- And now she's five feet three. BLACK AND GOLD Q e 5 if BOYS' BASEBALL TEAM BLACK AND' GOLD 121 iviiiiiiiimiinmmimi-imiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiimiii niiiiiiiiii miiiiiiriiiiiiii . , X if i , i, ' 1 - sl to J BASEBALL The most successful season for any of our athletics this year falls to baseball. Without a doubt this has been one of its best years since this sport has predominated in the Winston-Salem High School. Although we did not reach the finals in the Western section of North Carolina we were fortunate enough to enter the semi-finals, which we lost to Bessemer City in a heart-rending game by an 8 to 5 score. The success of the team can be laid to no other cause than the able coaching of Mr. Claude Joyner, who has for five years been head coach of all athletics in our school. Each afternoon Mr. Joyner was seen on the field with the boys, working diligently with them, and explaining to them the finer points of the game which are necessary to any team that is successful. Our squad had a wonderful schedule worked out for them this year, they were victorious in a majority of the games, and several contests were lost by very close scores. In picking individual stars of the season, the writer finds Plaster, Ford, Petree, and Hobson to be those of outstanding qualities. Plaster has doubtless established a state record for strike-outs, hav- ing 119 men to return to the bench via the strike-out system. Ford led by far in home run knocks for the season, while Petree and Hobson were the direct cause of several victories by their consistent hitting. Other members of the team who stood at the foremost are: Latham, Watkins, Brown, Collins, and Finlatorg while Church, Hatcher, Crawford, Beck and Johnson did some excellent work, and looked exceedingly well in a number of games. The student body is expecting great things from the baseball BLACK AND GOLD www11vmwHw1111111.1K..1...mm1XXXXm.m.m..-mmmuww GIRLS' BASEBALL TEAM 't.. BLACK AND GOLD 123 squad next year, as an abundance of material remains from the squad this year from which a championship team should be built. Only four varsity men will be missing from the lineup, but with the ex- cellent showing made by several of the reserves, little difficulty should be found in replacing them by these candidates. -Richard Brown, ,Zi GI RLS' BASEBALL The baseball season for the girls was indeed an exciting one. lVIore than seventy-Hve girls showed a keen interest in this phase of athletics and came out regularly every afternoon. There have been several new features this year. Foremost in the minds of the players is the fact that they have had real baseball suits, for this is the first time that we have had a well equipped baseball team of girls. Then comes the fact that the match games were played this year in accordance with the plan for triangular matches. Although the girls who came out for this activity were very small in size, they had a season of which they may well be proud. Twice they defeated High Point, but they were eliminated in the championship series when they met Leaksville in Leaksville. There is no doubt of the fact that baseball afforded many hours of fun this year, and from present indications, the girls will be eagerly awaiting the season next year. -Fannye Wilson, '25. 1 NINI-' Q 9 , 1 , .
