HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF NINETEEN-FIFNEEN erosl nnd Reail by Miss Affile Wlifrisofi at The Ciosh-g of Trie no: f?.hioned by the bfl o. tii? Uveator I)a3 a history, so have v. the Class of 1915. On a September morning about '.'n years v ith. learts beating high in anticipation, the majority of tho Senior C!?y of 1915, started to school. School! how important and cm'.vi-!iM it made i?? feel! Were e the c.rirrie cltiVJron Ihat a few -'".'Cvjh:! hctforf l.H.j been content to pay v.-ii a ies? How insipid ' i it j 0 old enoug-ii to go to r forget that OOGilH t. voiced unucr to F.chooL or ' our ami, wcr trudged that cqysl'y memorable day when, btirslinpc with knowledge, we rushed home to ask in an excited tone, "Oh, mama, can you spell cat 7" Ever since, that first day has ben treasured in our memory, along with the recollections of birth-day partie.-; fcnd similar red-letter occa sions. T'ius rmr first yvar- of school iiTe : jvai-ed very pleasantly and quickly. Liinp inor us each -ar a little nearer anon oi our dreams; arc then we passed en into the interrne grades. l!y ts time our fur Knowledge iiau abated a ' i- : l . - ..t 1- -1 - arteriiy info all the fun that was ; i going on. ooweuow It was much; j more interesting to pass around j notes or pull the other fellow's hair j i and hear him holler than to pay : strict alWntion to the lessons. Lit- tie did we care whether it was Co liumbus or some other person that ( discovered America, or whether the woId was round or iiat or how much ! the interest on one dollar at six per cent for six months would amount to. Sometimes though when our teachers insisted very strenuously on our learning the lesson assigned we would resolve to do better, but as the same old story of pro crastination and we drifted back into ! the same carelessness as before ' Then if we had been ever so willing to have studied, who could have jdon'e so with "Pigie" Kitchin ever present with his pradks, tying the- nair of two mrU tofnthr sf-pfllino- a iour books and being altogether perfectly provoking, alvvays being surged bv "Duke's" smile of sp- proval who was his ever ready ally. oostacie w; Xlnny I Bryan's arguments on any subject, from how came the seed on the in- side of a melon to how the stars i were inhabited. j llovever, just as we had made up I our minds, in spite of the above I hindrances, we would settle dev. n j and be studious, one night the fire 1 alarm was given, and can you im I agine our feelings when wa saw it ! was cur school building in flames ; that no human hand could stay? : The feelings were varied, for some were rejjieing, while others were , . - lamenting, turning tr.eir gradua r. oi iiavrng a . . . . , . , , , , v .j cgo at -"'on day iiaa to .?e delayed pernaps j for a year or more. Bat to those j who were rejoicing came a sad dis appointment when they saw even the rext day workmen clearing ! awa3 the debris in preparation for a i nev' 'r)Ui'(n8". then, too, as soon as ; we saw i ro . An-: en he told us we - would open school that same week in hu ihvpt'mr' wnifn vv r id and you would be surprised to know how well e managed work, there three small rooms, sometimes , ! two grades in a room, not enough i desks and seats. Can you imagine j now, my classmates, your sitting on ,L. i i t 1. . i i , . . i r ii i iv in villi i tuoH s r i around you with a little two-by-four I blackboard on which to work out n-oems? We were told bv lour teacher "that was the time to show the metal of which we were made and I believe there we did i put our shoulder to the wheel and ....... 4. A , , -. ,!, e.xrOY'A nc nmmi. ; 1 i oerore. When the next fall came we were ; fi little late in oneninsr. but when we did opon October 28, we were in the i buildine- equipped as never before. Then we saw that which we thought jt r.rpat loss nroved to be a great gain. And so time drew apace, and al- most before we realized it we were i caught up in the work and pleasure of the high school life. Oh! we were proud of ourselves and tried to be as diguified as would become n in oar lofty position; and under the able guidance of Miss Annie Dunr we entered upon our high school career seeking new worlds to con quer in unknown fields of erudition. Well we liked it for a while, but it seemed as if she was mighty ha"d on us and wanted to make authon of us ail by making r.s write pr many stories and composition.-:, bui we soon overcame our bashr.ilnc-s? and learned to speak like real or ators. We must say if we did not learr grammar it was not Miss Anmc fault, because she worked &s faith ful as any one could to teaeh us and let us leave her thoroughly prepared for the next grade. We were jsuch industriou? pupils and she was so devoted to us we spent three years under her able leadership and she wanted to be with us the next because it almost broke our hearts to part from her. On account of oar "unparalleled" bdiiiaucy the whole class wa pro moted from the seventh to the ninth grade. Acknowledged heroes and conquerors in our native land, we came confident of an easy vic tory. But like the Macedonian monarch, we were destined to bite the very dust with our teeth. Our class now took on renewed energy determining to "do or die," and our efforts were not in vain, for while they were of minor importance to the school, they were of tremendous importance to us. In our Sophomore year, our chief J object in life, our fondest hope and fairest dreams, was to become Juvlors. Last year there came, to us as superintendent one whose quiet manner, gentle courtesy, and scholarly attainments won at once our love and respect. The school term wras bright and prosperous, at commencement we entertained the Seniors at a tea on the campus. We shall long remember the occasion, for he. the bright spirit of the party now "sleeps the sleep that knows no waking," you all knew but too well the events of the unhappy summer that followed. You know of his long brave struggle and o-f deaths' final victory, as loving father, de voted husband, finished scholar, and christian gentleman, we have known none better, none braver than he, Clinton Joseph Everett. Truly we "long for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that 13 Stlii. But through all this darkness there was one gleaming star, we were to have our beloved teacher Miss Claudia Stella Blount again ! this year and as "dignified Seniors" with her and Mr. Zeiidah Hardy Rose to guide uSj we entered upon new fields of discovery. As Seniors it behooved us to grap ple with Virgil, geometry and Ger man. Latin ! that did not bother some at all, for they had access to an extremly well stocked stable and some rode along gaily all the way through Virgil and Cicero but con trary to the warnings of their friends their "ponies" never once balked. We are certain Miss Louise Fut rell enjoyed teaching this brilliant class German ; and we are sure if that German scholar could teach us another year we would be able to speak German fluently enough to serve as trained nurses for the Ger mans. Our history this year has been quite dirrerc-nt irom last j'ear s. Our teacher last year was studying more about matrimonial history than English history. But w were considered very bright history pu pils. We read our lesson on class every day and always, got high marks. While this year we, never read our lesson on cla?.s although we have asked , Miss H. almost every day, but we soon found out it was of no use because she was alvvavs j anxious to hear us recite, anal think wc have learned more about ' bistory this year esPec5a!1Vr, where all the states, mountains and rivers 111 Lllc t-i can fill out a perfect out line map, telHng which states are slavery and which are not, also trace the tariff i: i queauoii Bucuctsiiiiiv. We are sure no class in this school has learned geometry as well as we have. Because the former classes were not as lortonate as we were m having a star geometry teacher, . and we want to congratulate tne class of 191G on having that same pleasure, and we hppe they will learn that the area of apoiygon is equal to half the apthom by cbe perimeter, and we hope they will supply their teacher with plenty oi' erasers so he wHl nM have1 to user his hand to erase the propositions as he did this year. It was a hard matter for us to miss tho "movies" every night and some times our lessons would be neglected, we just let our families lo a't the worrying until the night :fore examinations and then we u i a p.ece o'l crauning, at this time ihoie schoo-L was shrouded in ff?kne.-.s arid tears overflowed once "x twice. But In spite of all things, gradua tion day now loomed upon our K-rizon, as we think cf it we forget the "slings and arrows of outra geous fortune" that afflicted us luring our early sojourn at the school. To us it is all but a pleasant dream. It seems but yesterday vlnce we started and yet, tomorrow we must stop. Though we have been looking forward to'this day for ten long years, as the time draws near to say farewell to all our old classmates and teacher?, wo wop'd gladly stop the flight cf time. After '.his we will meet no mere &z a class:, md by next year the class of 1915 will be scattered over the country, enrolled in many of our schools and colleges. Behind us we see the Juniors who are about to takes our place, for them, we can make no better wish than that they will have to guide them along the literary road of their senior yeir, one as capable, as noble, as sympathetic as we have found Miss Claudia Stella Blount.. liiStead of our literatures being a task, it ; Has neon a n ?n?nn to whrr-si wpi have looked forward. We were not left simply to learn the historical facts pertaising to some writers life but guided by her skillful hand we were shown how to find the beauti ful, how to appreciate the style of a writer, and to compare one with another. When wre looked over the Senior course and saw "Tale of Two Cities," we were in a "Storage of Despond." To think, we had to trudge through one of Dicken's books. But having her to unfold and show us the beau ties and truths that iay hidden to our untrained eye. we, too, even learned to appreciate "Dickena." Then, too, heretofore we had never looked upon Macbeth with anything less than a feeling of scorn and con tempt, but being directed by her, our " teacher, we still held in con tempt the act of Macbeth, which rightly ' we should, but learned a lesson ever to pity the weak minded. No.t onlf did we find in her a guide in our school work, but a friend to whom we could take all our trials and petty troubles, feeling sure that we would find in her one who would sympathize, advise, guide and direct, when, otherwise we might have rushed headlessly along the slippery path of yore. To the prophet we leave the pleas ant task of drawing back the veil and looking into the future, and we trust her penetrating eye will see evidences bright and far-reaching. Thti Law Opens The Door. "Towns and counties are already taking advantage of the new law and are paying the way of their tubercular patients at the State San atorium according to the provisions of the law," said the superintendent of that institution recently. "It's a wise measure," said he, "because through it. the poor widow, the or- i chaa chijd amj tjlose that are other- wise not. able to ay three dollars a day rcav be given the treatment and restored as useful citizens that otherwise would have- had no chance." The law referred to was one pass ed by the recent General Assembly and one that empowers cities, towns and counties to provide for the treatment of their indigent tubercu lar sick at the State Sanatorium, the cost of the treatment to bemotmore than a dollar per day. This law makes possible the means whereby towns and counties may care for j their tubercular sick and give them ; a cnance at recovery uiruer ihhiwki circumstances the Slate can affbrd. In some States, counties and towns maintain their own sanatoria but for efficiency and economy, a" sanatorium maintained by the State and co-operated with by the towns and counties has proven the better plan. This act of the Legislature that giyes the poor a chance along with the rich or those ablS to pay, opens the doors of the State Sanatorium to a field of much wider usefulness. No longer are the doors barred and now the responsibility rests with the city, town or county in whiih there is a tubercular patient Hera & fins From Gk!a!nm When you try to sell liats, Here's a sad little story, It's true every word And then some, begorra. Some f?rn?je vr-lks in, -And you ut on a grin, Winle vqu size her all ep From her to; to her chin. oiiO as.a.s lor a mit Doesn't care for the price, Just so it is stylish And makes her look r ice.

But one is too large. And one 23 loo sinful And one her dear h'iban.i; Woukhi't wre for at ail. So you make a wild so j.reh, And you try on some more, 'Till you've tried, on two thousand And seventy-four.

So she goes to them all, She's a wise little eif , Finally buys one at Blanks, And trims it herself. It begins to look like a record breaking year in anti-typkoid. work in .North Carolina. Word has just reached the office of the State Board of Health that in one day no less than three counties have decided to held Anti-Typhoid immimfeatitn campaigns this summer and have made appropr ratio ri for the work. Wake county, exc osive of Raleigh, heads the list with an appropriation of $500.00, or as much thereof as may be necessary to conduct such a campaign for six weeks in co-opera- i tion with the State Board, This ac- ; tion was taken at the suggestion of ; Dr. J. J. L. ilcCuilers, County Fhy- i siao. McCullers expects to locate free- dispensary points at about i places oyer the county and r dawnfet- ' er the anti-typhoid treatment free of charge at one of these points , each day of each week. This will enable him to return a week later with a corps of physicians to admin- ; ister the second dose, three dces in all beir.'g required to produce im munity tc typhoid.
