Things I Love at St. John's Old trees, enshrined in their glory. Their shadows cool and deep And ever refreshing— The peaceful pool, And the ferns that look into its mirror— Old buildings against a background of loveliness, With columns built like those of ancient Greece, And roofs of soft, dull red— Green slopes and graceful terraces, Winding their way into our hearts— Jasmine and rose, myrtle and wistaria, Splotches of color in a world of verdure; Soft lap of water in the quiet swamp— The voice of the wind, Soft and caressing as a mother’s touch, Or keen and piercing as the whistle Of happy school-boy— Music of birds—music unsurpassed— The call of little children, happy in their play— And ardent shout of victory From boyish throats; The pride of achievement, The joy of play, And the keen thrill of battle Upon the field of sports— Friendship, And the sweet influence Of loyal hearts and noble minds— And the long sad thoughts that come When we realize That time is fleeting And that soon our feet Will tread these paths no more; All these— Far more than tongue can tell, 0 Alma Mater dear, I love— 1 love. —Ruby Arnold, ’26. 1 Seniors at Howe Seniors at Home Seniors at Home Gifts for All Although this isn’t legal, we hope it will hold and to the Juniors, our heirs, prove dearer than gold. We ask the Soph- omores, those creatures so wise, to act as executors upon our demise. To Rena Buchanan, as hig as a min- ute, Dot Hilh leaves a dress and enough to go in it. Oh Wallace, Wallace, we hear that you aspire to the love of Miss Fulton— your heart’s one desire. We are your friends, and this wish we’ll not spurn— her heart you may keep, but her affection return. Mary James, of whose primping you often have heard, leaves her paints and her powders to that dude, Murray Byrd. Marion Yates, so shy and demure, has recently attempted the maidens to lure; and so to help make this laddie a beau, we demand that for advice to Marion he go. That Titian haired beauty, fair Senie Mozingo, says: “I’m tired of red hair, I am by Jingo.” So to Mel Lever, a girl whom we all admire, we give these flaming tresses to adorn her attire. To shine at the parties and give him a chance, Johnson leaves Adrian Spears his beloved long pants. Now David tells us ’tis his great desire to bestow his young heart on Andrea Hoffmeyer; and since this arrangement will make Everett a grouch, we direct that Lurline shall comfort Mr. Couch. Ruby Arnold’s wit as a very great bargain, she’ll exchange for a smile from one Ervin Dargan. Oh Thomas, Thomas, to make you look wise we leave you some glasses to cover your eyes. But even these your ignorance won’t hide, unless by your teachers you obediently abide. Edmund Grant is faithful and true, and we know he’ll do what we tell him to, so we leave him a gift we feel he’ll like well,—the much desired honor of ringing the period bell. Lucille has the knack—though we wouldn’t call her shy—of being ready for Miss Brunson with a perfect alibi; this unsuspected talent which she’s brought to perfection, she now gives to Quitman as a shield and protection. To Rosalie Hyman, the noted mathematician who so much fame has been gaining, Marion Siskron leaves his geometry book and his knowledge thereto appertaining. When the school bell rings on Monday morning early, in walks Miss Pettis with her hair nice and curly. We like her so much with her tresses this way, we leave her some tongs to use every day. V ou may think of all you’ve ever heard, this bequest the strangest and most absurd, but to Miss Lucy Wilson whose dimples are so sweet, we leave our slender Libba’s the collection to complete. We’d never deny Miss Brooks’ ability to express her sentiments with greatest facility. But slang, oh my gosh, does she use it? I betcha. She says “Here there kid are you wise, yes, I getcha.” So we leave her a Webster with this good advice: “Learn from its pages language that’s nice.” To M iss Marshall who’s taught us the wonderful skill of writing poems at leisure and essays at will, we leave our beloved note-books so neat and so clear. She may use them as models for her Seniors next year. lo Miss Rikard who we hear has other plans in mind, and is being lured from us by the little god so blind, we leave our joint petition that she will not move away, but in a shady cottage near the campus ever stay. I o Mrs. Dargan who in the culinary world doth excel, we leave meringue that won’t stiffen, and jello that won’t jell, oil that won’t ally with Humpty Dumpty’s yellow heart, pots and pans that will not shine though the Gold Dust Twins take part. I o the newest teacher at St. John’s we leave our surplus knowledge, because we’ve finished with high school and shan’t need it at college. And, Mr. Thomas, you must know, we’re giving this with pleasure and hope you will bestow it upon the freshmen at your leisure. With eyes of grey and curls of red there is no better hue, or nothing more becoming than a lovely shade of blue. In Mr. Cobb’s complexion these gorgeous tints are blended; so a necktie blue we give him, and hope he’s not offended. Mr. Gainey, will you as usual take note, as a clause that interests you 1 am now about to quote? We leave to you a big bass drum, a violin, and horn, to trumpet forth your praises forever and anon. To Mr. J. C. Daniel who rarely on us calls, we present our photos to hang upon his walls—and remind him in the future as he passes by to drop in on the Seniors who dwell in St. John’s High. With us Miss Brunson has had trials galore, her joy must be keen since she’ll have us no more. For all of her troubles this is recompense small; but we leave the love of her Seniors—one and all. To all of our schoolmates from whom we must part, we leave old St. John’s, beloved of each heart. And may you guard her honor as a jew el rare and by your lives keep her fame ever fair. —Elizabeth Hyman, ’26. Chronicles All the school’s a stage, and all the pupils merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one child in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Pulling and jerking at his mother’s hand As she leads him on to the stage. Frightened little players were we, huddled in Miss Carrie s room that bright September day. Before long, however, we began to observe rules and learned to play our simple roles—but not for keeps! Well do we remember the day when, for the first time, some of our number were kept in; how we hated to go home, leaving Mary Hill and Rachel behind! By September, 1916, all the newness had worn off and we were proud to take part in the next scene! Charles joined us now, a curly-haired little actor who proved very popular with the cast to the end of the play. Third grade was the year of the Great Plague. None of us escaped. 1 was hard on Elizabeth Hyman to be kept in after two weeks quarantine for spelling the disease Rosa Iola.” Thus with broader experiences and thinner legs we shuffled off the stage, as the curtain fell on the third scene of the act. Then the whining boy with satchel And shining morning face creeping Unwillingly to school. And the laughing girl, With lunch-basket in hand, Skipping happily to school. The theatre of school life was now a reality—a hideous reality to the boy who preferred marbles and tops; a pleasant one to the girl who liked to play to an audience. Ruby joined us this year; J. L., too, who played the part of clown to perfection—a role which has ever won for him loud applause from the gallery. Fifth year, the last scene of Act II, was rather a melodrama. Do you remember the tragic scene—when we elected to go to a fire across the creek without permission? We went only to the trestle, but Mr. Daniel met us there. The penalty was conning lines in chapel thirty minutes daily fer a week. This year a pretty little boy (Harry Gilbert, by name) joined the cast a d did his part toward making our act successful. Then the sixth and seventh graders Freckled faced lad with rag on toe; And lanky lass with here and there A missing tooth. Proudly wc entered the stage for the first scene of Act III a new theatre - St. John’s High School. However, most of us made frequent return-trips to the old theatre, bearing little yellow slips bespeaking failures. Here, Senie first shed the light of her presence—anti her hair—upon us. Another addition was Marion Siskron. Thus, with dear Miss Dargan, as prompter, this scene came to a successful end. Our next scene was in the basement of High School. The tragedy of the year was the division of the boys and girls. Despite this separation, J. L. managed to visit the girls one day through the rear window. He went out through the door, looking as if he preferred a hole in the floor. Early in this act Johnson Putney, our star actor, entered. Perhaps it was the afore-mentioned division that made this scene the longest and dullest of the play. Now, the freshman. Full of strange tricks to try the teacher’s patience Laggard in work, sudden and quick in mischief, Seeking the bubble amusement, Even at the whip’s point, And his giggling sister, all hands and feet, Jealous of honors—aspiring to out-wit Her clownish brother. Never had vve felt so little, so insignificant, so utterly useless as when we first stepped upon the stage of high school life. However, we bravely faced the audience and bluffed through somehow. 1 he entrance of plump Dora Mae broke the monotony of the situation. Examinations, too, lent variety and shattered the hopes of many players. And then the sophomore, In new long pants with lean legs lined; With eyes for maidens fair and not for books, And the sophomoress, With downcast eyes and smiles beguiling. We now thought ourselves professionals—sophisticated, wise, not vain, but proud, independent, important! Indeed we had all the qualities befitting sophomores. Cupid winged his way into this scene and led offstage, a blushing maid. Hut two came to fill her place—Lyda Lvles and Marion Ware. So thrilling did this act prove that we were reluctant to make our exits. The sixth age shifts Unto the lean, athletic junior, With down on lips, and hair well brushed. His youthful voice, ill-trained, a world too loud, And turning into manly bass. And the damsel, more secure in self-assurance, With rouge on cheeks, penciled lips And compact ever in hand. Oh! what an act! Each scene a thriller! New actors, too—(Irate. Ray. Lilia, Jesna, Emma, Tallie, Marion Durant. Perhaps the scene standing out brightest in our memory is that of the picnic. With the Seniors as co-actors, dryads were there and blind cupid, while father Neptune lured us into the shining waters. Who of us would not play again on such a stage? Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is seniorites and folly colossal, Sans brains, sans poise, sans thought, sans everything, Hut self-conceit. (Classmates—Hill Shakespeare made me say that. 1 don’t mean it.) Thus the curtain rose for the final act. Amid excitement and joy there is mingled a tinge of regret and sadness. Honors? Certainly! The distinction of making our entrances and exits through the front door; of entering with the faculty, leaving the gaping undergraduates outside; of spreading our Hullctins upon the walls of the stage; of making the Echoes of the happy past ring forever; of being the envied of school- mates and the pride of teachers. Our teachers! When we try to describe them, the English language (despite M iss Marshall’s training) proves inadequate. Think of each in turn—our scholarly Superintendent, who is yet not too lofty to enter into our trials and frolics; Miss Brunson, whose exquisite influence permeates each activity of St. John’s High, a principal whose interest, love and sympathy arc felt by every one of her students and faculty members, everywhere and on every occasion; witty, lively, fascinating Miss Marshall, the best English teacher ever! Patient, sweet Miss Brooks, who never hurt the feelings of the worst of us. Ne le pensez-vous pas? Our good pal, Miss Pettis, who made us know and love our country; Miss Rikard, kind but determined, cheerful, yet serious, school-spirited to the finger tips; Coach Thomas, who led us from the valley of despondency to victorious heights; the original Mr. Cobb—the peppiest cheer leader who ever yelled for St. John’s; our home maker, Mrs. Dargan, efficient, systematic, accommodating; our peppy, enthusiastic song leader, Miss Wilson, “whose dimples and smiles would melt the hardest heart”: Mr. Gainey, tried and true, whose like “we shall ne’er look upon again”—with such prompters we played our several roles and to them we now express our gratitude. Fellow-actors, ’tis almost done. Two more scenes; the one in our amphitheater, the other in the new auditorium. There, each will receive his check—a big roll—and then make his last bow before the foot lights. Exeunt omnes—Curtain! —Ruth James, ’26. The Writing on the Wall Alone, weary, sleepy, dis- couraged, I gazed into the dying embers with an utterly helpless feeling. I had been appointed to delve into the hereafter and reveal the future of my classmates. I was not so fortunate as to have the supernatural abilities of a seer, and sorcery had been left out of my curriculum at St. John’s. My head sank into my arms—and gradually I merged from this har- rowing mental agony into blissful unconsciousness. Thus in the power of Morpheus, I floated into the Land of Dream, where dwell the creatures of our imagination—fairies, nymphs, Cupid; a host of “Old Years” and their little brothers, the “New Years.” Wandering aimlessly about I came upon the opening of a cavern. I entered. An uncanny feeling gripped me as I found myself creeping through a narrow passage. Vn invisible hand seemed to push me on. I emerged into a dimly lighted subterranean chamber. 1 he weirdness of the place held me spellbound. A hallow voice broke the stillness, asking me what business 1 had there. It was not until then that I saw bather I ime seated upon a large hour glass. Remembering that “Time waits for no man I quickly explained my predicament and entreated aid of him. Beckoning me to follow he led the way down a winding stair into a large hall where a group of old Roman and Greek gods stood gazing into a seer’s globe. In the center of the room sat a queer looking machine. At one end the carven head of a snake protruded; at the other, that of a bull with its mouth open ; a large crank on one side added to the mysterious appearance of the instrument. Mr. lime said that in order to prophecy the future he would have to know the principle traits of each individual, as character has more effect on one’s future than anything else. He then instructed the gods in turn to pour their secret mixtures into the bull’s mouth as I named the traits of my classmates. 1 hus if 1 remarked that a certain person was handsome, Apollo ap- proached the machine; if I spoke of wisdom, Minerva appeared; if I described a hunter, Diana ran up; if I commented upon high temper, Mars swaggered forward; if I admitted that the person under discussion was often tardy, sleepy-eyed Morpheus stumbled from the group. Father I ime then turned the crank twenty times to represent that number of years and a streak of lightning flashed from the serpent’s mouth and wrote the future of that particular individual on the opposite wall. I read the following statements with my own eyes from 1 imes own wall; therefore they must be correct; ‘Johnson Putney, owner and chief physician of an aerial hospital, specializes in . repairing victims of aerial wrecks. The hospital is built in a giant dirigible and has an aero-ambulance driven by Ruth James, Dr. Putney’s assistant. “David Milling, president of the Sahara Sand Co., is selling sand in the desert. His wife, nee Miss Man' Hill, is teaching the natives the dances she knew in high school. “Marion Siskron is chief of the Aircraft Traffic Police of Darlington County. When not running down some reckless rider of the clouds he and his machine arc parked on top of Darlington’s new skyscraper. He has a capable assistant in Senie Mozingo. “Lucille Mozingo and Rachel Fulton arc singing instructors at the home for the Deaf and Dumb in Columbia. “Dora Mae Pendergast, who was always economical, is trying to perfect writing paper with three sides. If accomplished, this will be quite an improvement over the regular two-sided sheets. “The great chemists, William Spencer and Douglas Norment, thought they had made a startling discovery which would revolutionize chemical research—that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. “Lilia Edwards and Lyda Lyles own a poultry farm. Most of their time is taken up teaching their ducks to swim. “Elizabeth Sansbury and Ruby Arnold are studying music together in New York. They are getting along quite well except that they find great difficulty in learning the difference between C sharp and D flat. “J. L. Byrd and Joe Saleeby are at the head of a law firm which makes a specialty of clearing persons accused of stealing chickens. '1 heir clients gave a chicken bog in their honor not long ago.

Facing the Future As we come to the conclusion of our High School course we look back with the keenest pleasure on the happy associations at St. John’s. Tis often difficult to appre- ciate contentment that comes from work accomplished—the drudgery of the moment overwhelms us. Now that we realize that these high school tasks are done, the joys of work and play are intensified. However, we shall not dwell on the past, even though it now must appear in its true value. We would be false to the instincts of our own natures and the instruction of our faithful teachers if we did not face the future with hope and courage. We are confronted with the momentous questions: “What next?” What are we to do? “What are we to be? How shall we employ our lives?” It docs not matter so much what vocation we choose if our hearts arc in our work and we have the will to win—a determination to push through the crowd and reach the top. No one of us will seek the easy place, this can be filled by the lazy and indifferent who have never caught a vision of the highest and best. It would be wholly unworthy of any member of the class of '26 to think only of self in planning his future. Of course we must be influenced bv our tastes and undertake something that is congenial, some- thing that demands our most earnest efforts. Our chief aim should be to render highest service to humanity. The supreme ideal in life is not to fight nor to think, nor to make money, but to serve. Whatever fields of service we may enter there are certain fundamental essentials of success we need to consider as we face the future. The first of these is character—a word that is big in meaning. It includes honesty, reliability, integrity, and loyalty, but the greatest of these is honesty. Honesty is the bedrock upon which a noble character must be built. The first questions we are asked when a position is sought are, “Is he honest?” “Can he be trusted?” “Is he absolutely reliable in word and deed?” “Is his integrity beyond question?” “Can he be safely trusted with large sums of money?” These are some of the essentials of a noble character, which we must possess if we expect to succeed in life. Other things may be important but character is a necessity. I he second requisite is education. Some have made the mistake of stopping with high school. Surely no one in our class will do this. Kvcn if some are not in a position to enter college let us hope that they will by continuous reading and study build upon the solid foundation laid at St. John’s. Some of the greatest men America has produced had no college degree, but it was not because they would not go to college but because they could not. Even these might have attained success more quickly and more easily had they had the advantage of college training. This is a day of specialized training and we can never hope to accomplish all we should without a complete education. We will need all the help the best colleges can give us. Intelligence and information such as the schools and colleges offer must be supple- mented by industry. We shall never accomplish anything worth while without hard work. Some of us have already learned that in school. One may have a strong character and the best education but if he is an idler he will never amount to much. So, fellow-classmates, whether we like to work or not we may as well face this fact on our graduation day if we are ever to prove worthy of the high ideals and noble aspirations which our Alma Mater has given us we shall have to give ourselves to the task of life with diligence and industry. Finally, ambition plays an important part in our lives. Where would we be today, classmates, if we did not have some ambition? We should have given up and dropped out and would not be receiving these diplomas. Ambition will hold us in college and inspire us to ever climb. Often we have been told that the bottom is crowded but there is always room at the top. Our resolve should be not to do some- thing but to do much, not to serve but to serve well, not to fill a small place in the world but to fill the largest place that a strong character, a good education, hard work, and a worthy ambition will enable us to occupy. Farewells among friends are always sad. I bis is particularly true, classmates, from our view today. We are sincerely sorry that our play-days together are over; that the tedious hours of unprepared lessons and the interesting ones of studied assignments are passed. But since “the old order changeth, yielding place to new,” we as St. John’s students bid good-bye to teachers, fellow-students, halls and campus; but Father Time alone can sever with his scythe the love and memories of the years that have been. —Johnson Putney, ’26. f U 01 J VZIU V Eu() Coker Literary Society Organized November 27, 1908 Named For Captain W.

Due to the energy' and faithfulness of the first editor and manager, Raymond Weeks and Oliver Kollock, the paper prospered from the beginning and soon became a vital part of the school life. The staff is chosen each year by a committee composed of the principal, the head of the department of English and the home-room teachers of the tenth grade. Scholarship, origin- ality and dependability are the chief requisites in those selected. Hence the very flower of the school for the past decade has served on the staff of the Bulletin. In 1924, the first seven volumes were bound, and this book is among the most precious possessions in the archives of St. John’s.
