A YEARBOOK OP <tt'Al4T\ i ;, Most moralists of to<lay will agree that the people of the present upend too much j time on the non-essentials. The adults j rush around helter-skelter working lab oriously over things which have but small moment. The same thing is true of the younger generation. The average V' High School pupil does little which is of j value from any stand nglnt. Jt domes, then, as a distinct surprise when any group of such students is dis covered doing anything which has merit from a literary standpoint The major ity of the modern pupil’s aim and en thusiasm is given over to either the mak ing of one or qlore athletic teams or to supporting sueh teams. 'Too few pupils go in'- for literary honors in our High Schools (if there are any such honors) and those who do often spend too ittle time on their work or else show too little originality to gain for them any distinc tion. / Parenthetically, it may be said that Were any of the pupils of our high schools to expend the same amount of labor on their school publications as is spent in ! making « place on the athletic teams,. some mighty good reading matter Would be printed. ; I have recently received a copy of the Kannapolis Annual and in perusing it. something ak : n to a shock. The thought * of reading'it had borqd me slightly and so I picked it up rather lackadaisically. From the very, beginning of The Pioneer (for that is its name). I was interested. Os course much of it is similar to the thousands of other -tuyiuals which are j- published yearly. There is much of the customary blah about dear old alma mater and that sort of stuff which is a neces sary prerequisite to a publication _ of such /i nature. "Hiere are the exaggerated and sometimes inane statistics of the class members with part of this some begter than that in average similar pub- lications. ' There aye two deductions to be drawn ' from the fact that Kaunapoljs has pub lished a superior, annual. In first place it shows thpt tjbere has been some teacher behind the whole thing doing good work. If would be a , jiEysieal impossibility for, an ineiporieno ed group, of students to dp it alone. In this caf«\ the guiding hand seems to come from Miss Frances Wood, for, in the dedication which is made to her, she Is named as one "‘to whose efforts* ,i* largely djjf the success of our High Bchool Annual * * ’’ The second deduction is that there - really are some clever students in the Kannapolis High Sichoo), pupils who have | talent and who have don't piind yrorking. P —"Tr— ’ ■ t: In reviewing'•The Pioneer." I pass has tily over the group of poorly constructed school songs, one of which is to the in evitable Washington and Lee Bwing-tune; and 1 pass over the seniors with their photographs and customary fqotnote*-*-> H counting in detail thvw achievements while in High School. The first thing of interest is the clans prophecy in a unjupie foyn l - H « writ ten as a burlesque, seemingly, on the lo cal school paper. The Quid and Black. P? and is very diverting. Qnv of the better! quotations Is na follows x I “News has ,jn|t been received that] > Miss Irene Ruinlile has beeu converted! ?. Into «tew by Savages in As-I rica. Miss Rumple was touring that 1 country distributing chewinl gum and of his failure to support her. He only gave her ten thousand dollars n ‘ year. I “‘A mere trifle; not enough to buy pufypy biscuits for my darling Fiilo,’ says .Archer.” Though I should like to tarry longer | and give more quotations to the prophecy,, j lack of space forbids and the next enter taining thing discovered is -the class his ltory which is written in the fornT of a conversation between the members of the class. It is not only original hut it makes very good reading-as well. The freshman class motto brings back memories of the time when .tulius Caesar was studied, and when "I came, I saw', I conquered,” was a favorite quotation- • The motto is "We SVork, We Win.” The ’ , frdshmen must have been reading the Atfi eriean Magazine success articles. Senior Superlatives are cleverly dune in, verse, making a welcomed change from the usual run of such statistics. I quote one of them: "Os all tire LAXY boys we know, Ralph Sechler takes the cake, We hope he doesn’t starve to death When his living he must make,” Perhaps, the most striking, feature iq the entire hpok is the very good work which has been done hy Arthur Clyburn #» designing and drawing the art sea-L tures for the annual. His sketches ore pen drawings and are well executed. He has not only attended to small details but has succeeded in making the drawings lifelike. The idea for the drawings conies from tlfc name of the voJujne, each of the classes being likened to a -certain phase , in the Indian's life. The best of the lot was the one representing the Freshmep, . which pictured’ a papoose hahging from , the limb qt a tree. A fitting closing quotation is a poem by Virginia Wiggins giving the students' idea of the faculty. w F-unny sort of people, don’t yon know, (No wc like ’em) A-dful solemn, woe-begone and slow (Still we like 'em) C-areful what they do and say, (However; we like 'em) l?-sually correct m. every way (Os course we like ’em) L-iyely, well I gness, (Every day in every way they get ) younger) :T-aetfnl almost never,. , (Sure, we like ’em) ► Y-et they’re with us ever (So certainly we like 'em). o|d preachers Get 9100.000 On the recommendation qf Ur. A. .1. Lamar and John W. Barton, publishing agents of the Methodist Church. South, the book committee of tht; dqnominatmu at its recent annual meeting appropriat ed 9100,000 profits of the publishing in terests, te the old preachers and widows and orphans of preachers. According to church law, these church wards share in the prtjteperity of the denomination’s I publishing' bouse and receive the art | profits, The recent appnspriation, which was made at Dallas April 23rd is the largest appropriation ever, approved by the book committee, and therefore in- : dieates that the year just dosed was the most prosperous .in the history of the church's publication interests.

In addition to heavy episcopal duties on mission fields under; his supervision, Bishop H. A. Boaz. of the Methodist Church, South, puts in much time doing evangelistic preaching.

SCENTS NEW Dl ! Ki> POWER VENTURE Gastonia. Hears Dams Will Be Built on South Fork of Catawba. Gastonia, Alay 6. —It is reported in loqal business circles that a big news story is to break soon in connection with the plans of j. B. Duke and the South ern Power Company to develop huge tracts of Iknd along the South Fork of the Catawba River in Gaston county into power dams and plants. It is known that Mr.- Duke was in Gastonia recently and was in conference for more than an hour with parties who hold rights on the South 1 Fork. Reli able then who hbld cotton mill rights hold the belief that Mr. Dike is about to announce a vast program qf power, development in this county. It' is understood that the Power Company holds recently purchased options of farm lands, on both sides of of the river in South Point township. One farm of a hundred acres sold the other day for $250 per acre which is too ’ much money for simple right of way on the river. “Within sixty ar ninety dam, yon wHI prhftfripirfilir-N-ii Company has \obtained all lhe water rights on the South Fork, including Mr- Addenville and Speucer’s Mountain,” said 1/ _ The New Ensemble Corselefctes v| Line of Fashion is Built upon the Corset 1 NEW “ENSEMBLE” CORSET I Will'Give Your Figure the Rounded Straight Lints that Style Requires | Told About In the Reports Made by Mr*.
