The two new lawyers do not consider that they are under any insuperable han dicap as they start out to practice law They believe that the proper application of the mind will yield the results desired. They will hire a stenographer who will also serve as a reader for them. If en ergy, ability, personality and willingness to serve count for anything, these two young men should succeed. Mr. Cathey did not lose his sight until his 19th year. As a child he attended the; Smoky Hollow School in the Mills River section, where he studied two years. Sam and his family then moved to Skyland, where he attended the Limestone district school for four years. He then went four years to Christ school, operat ed by the Episcopul church, and located 12 miles from Asheville. He then went one year to the Winn school on Merrimon avenue, in Asheville, In the fall he played football and was a linesman. ' In the end of the school year in 1910 he went to work for his father in the railroad construction business.. In June, 1913, he quit working for his father and secured a job with Lee J. Smith, and R. Fain Smith, railroad con tractors, of Morristown, Tenn. He went to work as a toreman on the Carolina- Virginia extension from .Abingdon, Va.: to Todd, N. C. On December 15, 1913. he and his men were engaged in shooting out a rock cut about 11 miles from Jef ferson. Two holes had been made and dynamite placed in them. Sam was to light one and one of his, men the other. After Sam had lighted his and it had exploded, the laborer told him that the other failed to light. , Triple time was allowed for it to explode and then Sam went back to investigate. The fuse was not burning or smoking and showed no signs of being on fire. Sam cut off a piece of the fuse and was stooping down when the dynamite exploded in his face. The force of the explosion knocked him back about 25 or 30 feefr-irito the New river. He was temporarily unconscious. but soon came to and climbed back up the river bank. As a result of thisacci- dent Sam lost the use of his eyes. -..He can recognize light, but cannot discern an object. - After the accident Cathey was in a hospital in Winston-Salem for four days and was then removed to Asheville, where he remained in the Meriwether hospital for four months. After he was discharged from the hos pital Mr. Cathey rested several months, recovering as best he could from his mishap, and then made arrangements to enter the State School for the Blind at Raleigh. Back 'in school, Mr. Cathey reviewed some of the work he had had before he became blind and endeavored to adjust himself to his new conditions, He took high school courses, and studied reading and writing by the embossed method He also studied typewriting. Mr. Cathey took an active part in the life of the school. At this school he met Mr. Worsham and formed a friendship that has steadly grown "as the years go by. They made plans together to enter the University together and have roomed together for many years. In the spring of 1919 Mr. Cathey grad uated from the State School and in the fall entered the University of North Car olina. During his first year at the Uni versity he studied hard and made many friends, thus laying a foundation on which he erected the superstructure of success at the University.. During his sophomore year he was class representative on the campus cab inet, the student.organ of campus reform. He also joined the Latin-American club, and at the' end of the year was initiated into membership in Epsilon Phi Delta, which has since become, a chapter of the National Order of Cosmopolitan Clubs. The beginning of Mr. Cathey's political career centered in the Dialectic Literary Society, a hotbed for campus politics. His first fight as a political leader was when he backed one of his friends for the office of president of the society. After a hard fought -contest his condidate won and Sam embarked on a campus political career characterized by great brilliance. His political headquarters were in Petti- grew No. . 2 where he and Mr. Worsham roomed for four of the Ave years they spent at Chapel Hill. 1 Sam always refused his support to a man he considered unfit for the. job to whicli he aspired. His candidate had to be straight, and he had to have the ability to carry out the functions of his office after the election, whether he be fraternity man or non-fraternity man. Sam declares he went into the game of campus politics because he desired to get closer to his fellow students, to know them, and to create a greater Interest in campus activities on the part of the stu dents. He consider' the Chapel Hill campus the greatest in the world, and he has great admiration for student self- government and the honor system in ope ration there. In his fourth year at the University Cathey entered the law school, and was elected president of the first year law class. " In June, 1923, he and his partner, Mr. Worsham, received their degrees., As Governor Morrison presented the sheep skins to the two blind students the large audience broke forth into spontaneous applause in appreciation of the splendid achievements of these, two men. In his fifth and last year at the Uni versity Mr. Cathey represented the sec ond year law class on the student coun cil. His political ticket went through almost unanimously. , : In fact, Mr. Cathey never lost a major political fight during the three years he was active in politics. Mr. Cathey takes great interest in ath letic contests. He went to all the games if he dpuld possibly get there, and his voice was often heard encouraging the Carolina teams on to victory. Mr. Worsham- was bom in Campbell county, Va., December 10, 1898. ' ' Up to the time he was, 16 years old, Mr. Worsham could see partially, but not good enough for study in the public schools. An accident when he was 16 years old made him totally blind. In 1909 he .entered the State School for the Blind at Raleigh, where he stay ed ten years. He took grammar school and high school work and made a good record. He played first alto in the school band and was popular among the stu dents. He took part in several of the debates, and was a member of the Union Debating society. He did splendid work in the gymnasium. ', Besides the regular high school work he studied the embossed type typewrit ing, piano tuning and other things. He is an expert piano tuner, and has a di ploma in this. He studied hard at the school and made an all-around good rec ord.. In the fall of 1919, together with Mr. .Cathey, he entered the University of North Carolina. v During his' first h year at the Univer sity Mr. Worsham studied hard. ; He averaged over 94 per cent during his first year, and 91 per cent on all his academic work during his college career. His law school average was also high. i In his fourth year, he received his let ter in gymnasium work. ,, The attainment of this "NC" is a difficult feat, for 65 stunts, some of them doubles and triples, had to be performed to the satisfaction of five judges. In 1922 Mr. Worsham was in an intercollegiate exhibition at Raleigh where he received great applause. Mr." Worsham is tremendously inter ested in athletics, especially football. He does not remember having missed an ath letic' contest at the University. . If he missed one he never intended to, he de clares. - Mr. Worsham often sat on the players' bench and had some one to tell him the. various plays. He yelled for the team and was more than enthusiastic over University victories. Why Do We Ad ver tise As a business we are interested in your giving the Laundry a real test.
