I have enjoyed working with the Staff in getting up the news and my. only regret is that more of the re porters did not try to write some-J thing more than they did. ror I think if they had tried, the School News could have been much better than it was. 1 hope next year if this Is con tinued. that net only a few, but all, will try to make the thing a go and' then perhups in a f-w more years' '?Old K. C. 11. will be able to' publish a news pa p. 1 erf its own. There Is enough talent and material In the school to do this and it should be the purpose and aim of every{ student for what student would not' be proud of a newspaper published by the school? In Just three more weeks from. Thursday, the class of '24 will be saying good-bye to their High School! days. All will rejoice, but many j will be a little sorrowful when they realize that perhaps their happiest days are over. In a few years from now many changes will have taken place amongst the pupils on our class roll. A few will be out in the business world trying to meet all difficulties which come across their path. Many] will be off to College, finishing up their education which was begun in Elizabeth City. A few will perhaps be mar clod and others will lie teach ing. All separated, to never meet together as a whole class again. This is the saddest thing of all, bid ding your classmates good-bye. Much sympathy Is being extend ed to the Seniors throughout the I school because of their Kxams., which will perhaps be terrors for, everyone. Keep your pity, for youl will need It all on your own exams.' "This" Senior Class can do very well, ftnd is going to do well, by itself. The Seniors who are in the play have been busily at work 011 It for the past week. The play this year is "All of-a-Sudden-Peggy," and Is as Interesting as the title sounds.) The pupils who portray the different' characters reem to be fitted especial ly for their parts, and an enjoyable evening Is prophecle.d for those who attend. THK Ry Kleatior Aydlett The Cardinal is a large song bird belonging to the finch family,, it ] gets its name from the brilliant red 1 color. More often this bird is called Rcdhird. The Cardinal Is, brilliant red in color and has a glossy black around Its bill. The long feathers of its crown grow in pointed shape. This bird has I rounded wings and a long tail. The female Cardinal or nedblrd Is not so bright as her mate, Is a rich brown : color with Just enough red to make her handsome looking. The mother bird builds her novt which is made of twigs, grasses, and ends of rosebushes. llore rhe lays four bluish brown eggs. Often two broods of young birds are raised. Besides Its food of wild fruits. , grapes, mulberries, cedar berries,' and seeds of grasses and weeds, the Cardinal also eats beetles, grass hoppers, crickets, flies, ants, and rosebuds. It also feeds these things to young birds. Generally these Redbirds remain all year around wherevor they are found. They arn seen mostly over t the southern half of the United 1 States. At one time people caught them and sent them to France and England to he cage birds, but this wai cruel treatment. They are too pretty and valuable to be kept In a cage. These birds sing loud and clear when they are put In a cage. The Cardinal is very valuable to the farmer and gardener. Me eats Insects which destroy the vegetables and farm products.

The sun was shining very brightly, the birds were sing ing. and the hoes were buzzing. Hut in one of the houses in which a rich man lived everything was quiet and every relative and mem ber of the house was sad. The mother was dead, cold and stiff on this beautiful morning. She had died the night In-fore after a long while of suffering. The Father hail railed Iter to Ills home and she had Rone. | The husband was almost crazy river the death of his wife, an 1 cried nit. "Oh. I have nothing to be thankful for now. There is nothing I care ??? see or do. I wish that I might die also." i Now there lived next door to these people a poor family. The little Rirl in thi?* house went to see the rich man and said "1 have conic to talk with you." At first the rich man wanted the presence of no one in his bereave ?iiI. bui h? held his temper. The little girl said. "Von said you had nothing to be thankful for. Look ?f the world, and at the sunshine. I he beautiful flowers and the plng ink birds. Are you not thankful for these thing*? Are you not thankful for your food, home. i-.lothcH, and your dear little son? Suppose it had been you who had died instead of your good wife. You should thank God. How can you iibuse him like that?" That man's eyes wero filled with ti ?rs. He gathered the girl Into his arms and kissed her, then drop 1 ing on Ills knerH he prayed Cod to fOT'-.ive him. After the sad days had passed the rich man went to i hurch every Sunday and he was always thankful for everything. All on account of what the poor little had said to him. As thrt Bible says "A Little Child Shall Lend Them." TIIK <\lti>l\AI, lly Ilillio Daniels The enrdinal Is red and ban n long tnil. The female has n yellow hr? nst unci a shorter tail.

The ne?t is made of leaves, hark, twigs, shreds of grape vine .and Is lined with graft*. It is placed in lenfy hushes or vines nhout eight or ten feet above the ground. Thry are very useful birds b? cause they eat beetles, crickets, ants, file* and worms that are harmful to the crops. EXAMINATION** NT ART lly Mary l?otilse I In I ley Good times will soon be over. as examinations will soon stnrt, but still we are planning to have a good time until the last minute. The freshman class has planned a picnic to Chnnttlly on Friday to which we are looking forward to have a good time. Each room has arranged for a truck to carry them back and forth. We are going to leave after school with baskets full of lunch and hearts full of fun. We will return after night fall Some of th* teachers will go with us to see thnt we do not eat too much, beraiife If we do, all of us may get slrk nnd the doctors will not be able* to sleep Friday night, OITI AI/MA MATKR lly Dorothy llurgess The year of *2 1 is here Our year Is ending With all its Joys and tears Now blighting, blending.

Tu^day, April -I>. What a grand oc.-a.-ion l??r this party of twenty-two. consist ing of thiite?u girls. six boys aiel three ehaperones. We had a private ear as far as Norfolk and we mad* use <? f it by telling Jokes, chewing gum oil the sly. and laughing at tin* thought of the others hard at work in school. When wo reached Norfolk, It was only a matter of a few minutes lie fore we went to the Southland for breakfast. Needless to say all of us ate. Afterwards we made a tour of the residential section and visited Saint Paul's church. A cannon ball which was fired during the Revo lutionary war hit the church, and can btill b- se- n by people on the street. Next came the Naval Base. We wint through the machine shop and saw the sailor.; hammering on kinds of material. Leaving the shop, we went to their school. The sailors we.?? drawing figures which looked stranger than coils or springs of a car. Son"* wore tinkering with elec trical supplies and others listening 1n on the radio. Many of the rooms contained gyroscopes, teleseopes and other things which men have in vented. The music school more than likely would take the prize. Flutes were in one room, cornets in anoth er. saxaphones. trombones, all were playing a different tune at one time. There were eighteen drums in one room and think of the poor instruc tor. Hut wait: they had to play on rubber pads. In the afternoon we visited the Navy-yard. There nre six dry docks of whieh number four Is the largest being 1.000 feet long, one hundred and fifty feet wide and forty feet deep. One hour is required to fill it with water and three and one half hours to pump it out using two pumps each expelling 112.000 gal lons a minute. Coming to the bat tleship New York, we went on board. The officers have their food pre pared by certain cooks, the crew by others. The length of this ship is 573 feet. This battleship has ten turrcnt guns, sixteen secondary bat tery guns, four anti-aircraft guns and two submerged torpedo tubes Soon It Is going to leave for target practice at Hampton Roads and a cruise to Europe. As we rounded a bend in the riv er \v--? saw the steamer Southland, whleli was to take us to Washington that night. We were soon settled and then we walked about on deck - or wrote iphpm 1111111 ne<t time. Wednesday we went to Arlington. Arlington house* stands on the brow of the hill whose slope stretches a half mile to the Potomac. The views arc far-reaching. there are lawns and flower beds and a profusion of trees and shrubs but the most Im pressive sight Is the. "Field of the Heart." The headstones are of the simple pattern. !Near the Temple of Fame 2.111 nameless soldiers are gathered In one grave. This marks the dead of the Civil War. The Amphlpheater was provided secure a fitting memorial to our dead soldiers nnd an assembly place for the people attending services on Decoration Day. Just across from the Eastern stairway is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. While here we witnessed a military funeral. The procession went along in a very dig nified manner. The general with hit sword dangling by the side and hi* boots in the stirrups, rode a horse draped in black. Promptly after leaving here we went through the Zoo where we saw many animals, from this place wo rould sec in the distance the Cathe dral. It Is here that Wilson was burled. In the afternoon we went to th Capital. The rotunda Is In the cen ter of the building and the walls are adorned with paintings, sculp tures nnd frescoes. The llo ger Doors represents the history of Columbus nnd the discovery of the n? w world. In til National st.it ii n y Hall each state la allowed to provide Matties either in marble or brbOM but not excelling tw> In number for deceased persons. Illus trious for historic reknown or distin guished for military service. Vance represents North Carolina. Finally we came to the Hall of Representa tives which Is very unique. Borne of the representatives were reading newspapers, other talking and loav Ing when they wished. The senator* seemed to l>e having a fuss over tax reduction. One man would sav something nnd another would rsk' to be recognized. It reminded us' of school?no one could agree. I,?>av-[ ing the hall as quickly as was pos-l slhle we took the sub railway which > extend., from the Capital to the Sen ators office building. Here Scna-i tor Overman helped us get e per-' mit to President Cooiidge. Th- rain began to fall, but this did I'Ot hinder ?is. We went to the Congressional Library which wa* per i fcf.tly wonderful. The architect urn Is of the Italian Renaissance Or jd?r and the material is the best. Tl-.e first floor contains the reading rot-n which Is clrculr.r. There are about twenty miles of book shelves. The second floor Is devoted to ex hibits of rare books, engravings and I portraits of the presidents and other people. . The Bureau of Engraving and Printing was the first thing we vtal , ted Thursday morning.

Hit? r^ii-Ainerican building was dedicated in 1910 and is devoted I to the development of commerce' friendly intercourse, good under-1 standing and pcace among the twen-i ty one American Republics. The' l'atlo contains many tropical plants! such as coffee and bananas. There are also gay-colored birds. Altho we had walked for a long time none of us would skip the Na-| t'onal Museum.

We went to the White House! and shook hands with the President.] His hair is slightly red and his I cheeks are hollow. He is Just about1 the size of the average person. The Washington National Monu-' nient is B55 feet in height and cun bo seen from almost any part of the city. The Interior Is lighted by elec tricity which afford a glimpse of the Memorial Stones. Forty states are represented as well as numerous' cities, lodges, fire departments and,' others. We rode up. looked through, the windows and saw the Capitol. I Smithsonian Institute, and other buildings which we recognized. Sev-l era* walked down the nine hundred 1 stops in order to get a better view of the Memorial Stones. The next day we visited Mount Vernon. It occupies a beautiful sit.* overlooking the river. In 1858 the Mount Vernon's Ladles Association was organized, and in 1860 theyj purchased Mount Vernon. in the1 music room there are Washlneton's harpsichord and flute. His library Is full of books and has a bronze 1 bust of him which Is from tho1 original. There is also a portrait containing sixty generals of the! Revolution. The Family Dining Room, and Banquet Hall contains? many Interesting relics of by-gone days. The room in which Washing ton died, contained much valuable, mahogany furniture. Other rooms contained large fourpo*t<>rer*. fire MfMltli and very old counterpanes. ] The new Tomb of Washington was built because some one rifled the old one and took a skull think ing It v.as Washington's.

Now Here THE LIFE OF W00DR0W WILSON By JOSEPHUS DANIELS Fori..or Secretary of the Navy and Intimate Associate of President Wilson Joseph us Daniels says: This book will be a life of Wilson, the man. as I saw him and knew him. I am familiar with the life of the former President. Besides the eight years I was under him as Secretary of the Navy, I was also associated with him when he was in Paris as the world's greatest figure. There are and will be many riiore lives of the war President written, all from different viewpoints. It is my aim to present the life, the whole life, of the man?not a book merely for politicians. I shall deal with his charac ter, surroundings, environment?what he. em bodied. I want to lay bare the true Woodrow Wilson as man, politician, teacher, father, President, to the world.
