Humbly we replace this book before you, oh Reader, with manyhopes and fears. We have labored with might and main to havethis War and Peace issue of Snips and Cuts representative not only

of the High School as it is today, but also prophetic of the HighSchool as it shall grow to be. You will find faults thru the book,

just as you would find tares in any wheatfield; but we beg of you

—

be lenient! Judge us by whatever there may be of the wheat variety

in our work, and overlook our literary tares. We gratefully acknowl-edge the enthusiastic aid the underclassmen have given us in makingthis Annual a financial success. We thank Mr. Sam Craver for the

opportunity he gave us to show our business zeal; we heartily recog-

nize the material assistance rendered us by our friends thruout the

city; we appreciate the wonderful support of Miss Downs and MissJessie—theirs have been the hands held out to guide us thru the

darkness of our editorial path; and then, too, we would not forget

our classmates, who have worked with a will to make our dream of a

'Nineteen Snips and Cuts a reality.

Enola Abernathy? Just look in the

census, and see how the Senior Class re-

gards her—the most affectionate; and just

so you will find her. Enola is a friend

indeed to us all. No matter how tired anddisheartened we are, she always has a kind

and encouraging word for us.

"Man delighteth me not."

Truly a wonderful girl in this MaryBrevard Alexander! Vardy is just anall-'round girl, with an ever-smiling coun-tenance and a jolly disposition. She's aregular "shark" in English, and has sucha wonderful power of expression that beher theme some of the deep thoughts ofShakespeare or the light, airy descriptionin "L'Allegro," she is equally at ease; andwe wonder if she possesses some peculiarhidden power, or is indeed inspired of thegods.

"This world's no blot for meNor blank; it means intensely;

To find its meaning is my meat and drink."

Anna Ruth Anthony



When you say "dependability," Ruthpops into my mind, for she is the very

personification of it. You cannot get the

marks she gets day in and day out without

being dependable and brainy. And she is

both those things—and then some.

"Here is a friend that sticketh closer than

a brother."

Jennie Josephine Barnhardt



A flash of white teeth, a soft chuckle, and

a glimpse of a dimple, with a pair of laugh-

ing brown eyes, and behold "Joe" Barn-hardt. That chuckle of hers is an art that

only Mother Nature could have taught her.

If you like a person who always laughs at

the right time—here she is.

"A comrade blithe and full of glee,

Who dares to laugh out loud and free."

Margaret Louise Bedell James Herron Beaty



Have you heard her squeal? It's catch-

ing, too. She'll have the whole Class gig-

gling first thing you know. No, she didn't

mean to upset things, for she's very con-

scientious; but she's blessed (or is it

cursed?) with a sense of humor—and a

squeal.

"Sincerity is the most compendious wis-

dom."



He's generally either just coming or just

going—elusive, shall we say? He has a de-

cided talent for commercial art, and whenwe need a poster we are pretty apt to yell

for Herron.

"Obscure life sets down a type of bliss."

Beulah Evaline Boger Bennie May Cunningham



An artist. And really, if she keeps on

with her study of Art, we'll expect big

things—and when we look at that chin weare sure she'll keep on. If she didn't have

such a good disposition, maybe she wouldn't

get teased so much.

"The fruit derived from labor is the

sweetest of pleasures."



When you say "a jolly good fellow," and

mean every single syllable of it, you have

a fairly good description of Bennie May.She's the kind that cheers one up whenone has the blues, because she has set for

herself a mark, and she's going to get there,

and do it smiling. Does she make you think

of a strong handclasp?

"A merry heart maketh a cheerful counte-nance."

John Woodley Chapman Maude Eloise Doxey



He should have been named "Pep" instead

of J. Woodley—honest, he ought. His

brain is "Jazzie", in other words, witty;

and he's theatrically inclined; but he up-

holds the dignity of the Senior Class with

honor when he acts as a sub-teacher.

"What Tarheel is this same that deafsour ears with his abundance of superfluous

breath?"



You want to give a party, and be sure

everybody has a good time? Well, you'd

better get Eloise to help you then—she has

a knack of making people enjoy themselves.

Yes, right over there—the one with the

lovely curls. She'll help you, 'cause she's

really accommodating.

"She that walketh uprightly walketh

surely."

Louis Daniel Duval



Terribly deep things about watts andkilowatts are an open book to Louis, but

he'd never tell you about how much he

knows, 'cause he's too modest and bashful

to do any trombone work. If you knowhim, you like him, and you'll agree with

us in anything we may say about him.

If you don't know him, you'd better get

busy and find out about him, 'cause he's

going to be somebody.

"In skill lies success."

Edna Virginia Eskridge



She just naturally eats work! It's won-derful. Teachers give great long lessons,

and while the rest of us are groaning over

having to do them Virginia's eyes havebrightened and she has gone on and donehers—and done it right, too! She's al-

most always diabolically right!

"Whose life was like the violet, sweet,

As climbing as the jasmine, pure.

Fannie Mitchell Furlow Helen Katherine Fricker


pounds; Age 17 years.

Class spirit? Now you've said something.

Fannie has got more Class spirit than

'most anybody I know. It isn't the Class

spirit that just sits back and says "Rah,

rah, Class of 'Nineteen," and stops there;

it's the kind that gets out and worksto make other people say "Rah, rah! Class

of 'Nineteen." What more can one say?

"Give me a place by the side of the road

and let me be a friend to man" (or men).



Why is it that the nice, quiet, dreamy,

brown-eyed ones always play the piano so

well? They always do; and Helen isn't an

exception to the rule. Of course, there are

pianists and pianists; but she is the real

thing. If you've ever heard her, you'll agree

with us.

"She that diligently seeketh good, pro-

cureth favor."

George G. Farrington Margaret Louise Gilbert



"Repetez-vous, s'il vous plait, Monseiur!"

"You talk so all-fired fast, George, howdo you expect anybody but a real Frenchie

to keep up with you? Don't you ever con-

descend to speak your mother tongue?" weare apt to say when George gets started

talking his beloved French; and sometimes

we flatter ourselves that, if we talked it as

constantly as he does, we could do it as well

as he; but I doubt it.

"Describe 1dm who can."



Like a shadow she would pass, and one

would never know the sweet strength one

was missing in letting her pass, if someguardian angel did not whisper it in one's

ear. She is one of those people whom one

has to cultivate; and whose friendship is

all the more worth while because of the

effort required to obtain it.

"Silence is the perfect herald of joy."

Thomas Pegram Graham



He can do almost anything you wantGone; and he'll do it, too, as tho he liked

doing it. That's the nicest part about it.

And he'd give you the coat off his back,

with a—"Here, Crumb, take it; I don't want

it," and a queer little one-sided smile that

he thinks doesn't show his dimple, that'll

make you his friend for life. Such an one

is Tom.

"A good enough old fellow."

William Knowlton Harding



This calculating looking young man is

Bill Harding. He's looking at you, but

he sees a cartoon. His pet occupation is

cartooning himself, so you needn't feel bad-

ly about his practicing a little on you. He's

a wizard at it. But that isn't all he can

do; his brain is just chuck full of original

ideas, and he's going to revolutionize someof our staid methods of doing things someof these days.

"True wit is nature to advantage

dressed."

Walter Williams Hook Ethel Hall



When Walter goes into anything, you

may count on his going into it whole-

heartedly, and you may be sure you will

have his full co-operation. Even in the

myriad of things he is doing now, the things

that make one's schooldays so full, he is

definitely moving towards his goal. He is

going to be an architect, and he will talk

the planning of buildings with you at a

great rate.

"These flashes on the surface are not he,

He has a solid base of temperament."



She reminds us more of a hen with one

chicken than anything we can think of just

now—my, but she adores Grace! It's nice

to see them together (and did anybody ever

see them apart?), because they fairly

breathe contentment. Ethel is the essence

of freshness, from her blooming cheeks to

her perfectly spotless skirt's hem, and her

mind is just as neat and orderly as her

clothes.

"As welcome as sunshine in every place,

So the beaming approach of a good-

natured face."

Cordelia Henderson Constance King



Does she make everybody step? "I'll say

she does." She's the original "rag" queen.

Nobody can play it quite so well as "De."

She just naturally walks all over a piano,

and if you can keep your feet still while

she's doing it, you can do more than the

Senior Class can.

"With thy keen joyance,

Languor cannot be;

Shadow of annoyanceNever came near thee."



Tell me there's not anything in a name?I know better! Take Constance King for

example—did anybody ever hear of her

falling down with anything she undertook,

from lessons on down? I guess not; she

lives up to her name.

"A countenance in winch did meet,

Sweet records, promises as sweet."

William Lillycrop Edgar Lee Love



We could gather up all the nice, solid-

sounding adjectives, and pile them on Wil-lie, and they'd all be true; but you wouldn't

have the least conception of what he's really

like. Sometimes we don't think we really

know him ourselves. We all admire Wil-lie, but we wonder if he admires us?

"Business before pleasure."



If he was not so bent and determined on

going into the army, we would expect to

see him a second Rockefeller in just no

time at all; 'cause he is quite a business

man. But as he insists on going into the

army, we'll expect him to be a general, as

he is a real live wire.

"The force of his own merit makes his

way."

Charles Allen Moore



He's all boy; and he looks the part! Whenyou see his laughing brown eyes, above a

mouth which is vainly trying to keep fromsmiling too, you give a mental "Hm-m-m

!

There's mischief lurking there," and imme-diately find yourself thinking of balls andbats and fishing rods, and all the things

that a wide-awake boy is known to love.

And you find yourself understanding per-

fectly why it is impossible for Allen to

keep his hands and feet still for five full

minutes on a stretch.

"Thy modesty's a candle to thy merit."

Edwina Chadwick Moretz



Of course, you've seen people who always

appear just the least little bit surprised,

regardless of what you tell them. Theyhave an air that seems to say "Why, I

never heard of that before!" These are

people that it's a pleasure to run across in •

this blase day; and Edwina belongs in that

class. She doesn't raise her eyebrows andlook questioningly blank, as I'm afraid someof us would do if we attempted it; but she

seems to be interestedly considering some-

thing for the first time. It's most attrac-

tive. Watch her, and see if you don't think

so.

"Nor know est thou what argiiment

Thy life to thy neighbor's creed hath lent."

Sadie Belle Miller Edward Lane Martin



Sadie Belle is very "petite," with a crownof heavy brown hair, which she is perpet-

ually arranging and re-arranging. One is

apt to use the word quaint in its original

sense when describing her. She has un-

usually clear-cut ideas of what is necessary,

and she simply will not tolerate inexactness

in anything.

"// to her share some female errors fall,

Look on her face, and you'll forget 'em all."



He can look ferocious when he wants to,

I grant you that; but funny—oh, ye gods

and little fishes!—he's a scream! He's a

real comedian; and they're certainly rare

these days. But he doesn't stop there, he

keeps right on, and is the best athlete

Charlotte High School has turned out this

year. When it comes to basket-ball, Ed.'s

right there.

"Like a strong man, he runneth a good

race."

Mary Elizabeth McKnight Edgar Harold McCorkle



Isn't it interesting? Our curiosity is all

worked up over it. Just exactly how muchdoes that frat. pin Mary wears mean? Weall have our suspicions and our theories,

but it would be a great relief to some of

us if we could know the facts. It's abso-

lutely maddening the way she wears it,

day in and day out, with that same inscrut-

able smile of hers.

"A happy disposition is a prism that de-

flects the blue rays."



He certainly is an animated question

mark, there's no doubt about it. But the

question in our minds is—does he ask all of

those questions for information, or just in

the hope of getting up an argument?There! This is just full of questions andquestion marks; but when you think about

Edgar, your mind just naturally gravitates

to that form of expression—you see, he has

a personality.

"This little body lodges a mighty mind."

Isabel McLaughlin Maurice Nieman



She's just about to do it. Look at her!

We wish she would, 'cause then you would

understand what we mean when we say

she has the most spontaneous laugh in the

world. It's absolutely fascinating the wayit runs up the scale, and you absolutely

never know when it's going to break out.

"Happy am I, from care I'm free;

Why aren't they all contented like me?"



He's a living mystery, a walking enigma,

and "a bird on the wing." What he's think-

ing, where he's going (he's always wander-

ing around like a floating island, with no

apparent destination), and what he's going

to do next, are three things that are con-

tinually in your mind when he happens to

drift across your path. This unusual person

piques your curiosity until we have often

longed to shake him until he explained him-

self to our full satisfaction. And he's ag-

gravatingly slow, too; if you're late for a

class, and in an awful hurry, you're sure to

see Maurice loitering thru the halls, sing-

ing to himself—he has a good voice.

"There's no art to find the mind's con-

struction in the face."

Albert Summey Orr Frank Phillips

Height, 6 feet; Weight, 143 pounds; Age,

17 years.

"I should worry," applied to anything in

the world, would about strike the keynote

of Al.'s disposition. As they say in "Seven-

teen," he's certainly "indifferink." He ram-

bles along, enjoying himself outrageously,

and apparently doesn't give a hang whetherTroy falls or not. But this is only the

outer shell, and we are not willing to be-

lieve that Al., underneath it all, doesn't

care whether school keeps or not.

"Why should he study, and make himself

mad?"



He wants to be like some foreigner with

an unpronounceable name who has risen to

fame in the scientific world; and we're

willing to bet ten to one that he'll get there,

too. Never has anyone seen such doggeddetermination, such marvelous perseverance

as Frank has. Not often is one blessed

with such ability to stick as he is, and never

is one blessed with it for naught. He will

rise, and rise high, because of it; and whenhe has reached 'the top of the ladder, the

rest of us will look up and say "He deserved

it, all right!"

"He that never gives up, finally succeeds."

Lucille Piper Grace Octavia Redfekn



Lucille is "even as you and I"—she is

neither stupid nor brilliant; she is just anordinary, healthy, happy girl, whom every-

body likes. She is neither very talkative

nor yet very quiet, and her work is quite

up to standard. In other words, we think

she makes altogether an agreeable and satis-

factory classmate.

"For she with kindness is blest,

And there is no one she offends."



Grace looks like a pretty little Dresden

doll. Her hair is light, her eyes are blue;

her skin is the pink and white of a baby's,

and she is about the daintiest little piece

of humanity you've ever seen. No wonderEthel loves to be with her so—it fairly

makes one feel fresh and brisk to come into

the room where she is. Sometimes, when weare all spotted and begrimed, at the end

of the day, and see Grace looking as if she

has just stepped out of a bandbox, we feel

that it's a crime for anybody to be that neat.

"// liappiness were for sale, no one could

buy it."

George Nicholson Rhodes Eva May Rymer



Oh, the way he does make the feminine

part of the student body's heart flutter!

And it has been whispered that the faculty

is not totally immune; so you see "Nick"is quite "a ladies' man." We think per-

haps one reason that he appeals to feminin-

ity so much is that he is never in too big a

hurry to stop and chat pleasantly with the

young ladies. So, boys, if you would be

quite irresistible to the weaker sex, take

this young Chesterfield for your model, andyou can't go wrong.

"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrowwe die."



Someone must have presented her with a

large placard in her early youth, with "Chil-

dren must be seen and not heard" on it.

If they did, she certainly took it to heart,

'cause she absolutely was never known to

speak without being spoken to first. Whatshe's thinking about all the day long, as

she sits there watching us and not saying

a word, is a mystery that we would like

someone to clear up. Does she like us?

If she does, she doesn't intend to tell us so,

evidently.

"Mine honor is my life; both grow in one;

Take honor from me, and my life is done."

Blanche Roberts Florence Viola small



She doesn't say much, but you know she's

there, 'cause she's a wide-awake looking

person. One feels that those big, blue eyes

of hers aren't missing one little teeny-

weenty thing. We sometimes wonder whatshe thinks of all the things those same eyes

see. Look at her again, and see if she

doesn't make you think of a nice jolly

cherub. We just knew you'd think so too;

'most everybody does.

"Tlty brows are arched, open, kind,

And come like a clear, clear sunrise to mymind."



She has a very real talent for recitations,

and we all hope that she will go on cultivat-

ing it. Especially is she gifted in handling

humorous ones—she is irresistibly funny

when she gives one of this type. But this

is not where her talents cease; on the con-

trary, this is just the prelude. She can

talk at all hours of the day or night, at

great length, on any subject under the sun

—and she has the most perfect control of

her eyes that I've ever seen ; and by the

way her eyes are brown.

"/ do profess to be no less than I seem."

Gerty Sechrest



We'll tell you a secret—that wonderful

color of Gertie's is the real thing. Unlike

the most of the roses we see adorning youngladies' cheeks nowadays, hers didn't comeout of a box. If you don't believe us, she'll

prove it to you by scrubbing her face with

a handkerchief, and then submitting the

handkerchief for your inspection. And one

likes to keep her laughing all the time, just

to catch a glimpse of her lovely white teeth.

She is certainly blest.

"Where there is a will, there is a way."

Frank Stancill Samonds



It takes Frank about a half-hour to say

anything, but when he says something it is

worth waiting to hear. As has been said

of the Saxons, "he has good hard commonsense, if he has long enough to think." Weknow Frank's farm will be one of the showplaces of the State, 'cause with his scientific

farming he will be sure to have banner

crops every year.

"The greatest truths are simplest,

And so are the greatest men."

Carrie Elizabeth Springs



Carrie is an appealing young person.

Now, don't misunderstand us, she is not

an exponent of the "clinging vine" theory

—

quite the contrary, she is fully capable of

standing on her own feet; and yet she

appeals to us. She appeals to us as only

a pretty young girl can who has an air of

innocence, an air of seeing the world fresh-

ly, if you know what we mean.

"She wears the face of beauty with a

smile."

Robert Edward Sessoms



Bobby goes about enjoying himself, andis utterly human. He sings well, plays

baseball well, learns with ease, and is thoro-

ly "a boys' boy." He enjoys everything he

goes into, and is generally found in the

thick of things, so life is not dull for him.

He's apparently inclined to be a little skirt-

shy just at present, but in course of time

that will wear off. The girls do not seem

to mind, anyway, and like him just as muchas the boys do.

"A man of ideas, and ability to execute

them."

Edith Harriet Sheppard Wilbur Milton Silvester

Height, 5 feet, 8 inches; Weight, 13C>

pounds; Age. 16 years.

"Sober, steadfast, and demure" will give

you a pretty, good conception of Edith as

we know her. She moves among us with

dignity and perfect poise, and "looks com-

muning with the skies." Needless to say,

all of us respect her, and those of us whoknow her love her. She makes one think

of the saying, "Still waters run deep."

You can look at her, and see that she is

strong.

"For the cause that lacks assistance,

The wrong that needs resistance,

For the future in the distance,

And the good that I can do."



He grins in the morning when he first

comes to school; he grins in the middle of

the day when the spirits of the rest of us

are beginning to lag; and he grins at the

end of the day, where the rest of us are

"all in." In fact, he is a good example of

"the smile that won't come off." And that's

all he does, as far as anybody can see,

except frisk about a bit. His disposition,

tho, is worth a million dollars.

"One who latiglis at his work, and laugh's

at his play,

And has a good time the whole livelong

Katherine Shelton Mary Elizabeth Washburn



Do you remember the last time it rained

really hard, how when the sun had comeout again you raised your face to let the

clean fresh breeze blow full into it? Andyou breathed deeply of it, and went on your

way saying, "My, what a glorious day!"

Well, Kate is like that breeze to us—there

is something invigorating and wholesomeabout her that makes one say, "My, what a

glorious girl!"

"She carries decided judgment within her

in the most unobtrusive way."



It's hard to decide whether wholesome or

sweet is the correct term to apply to her,

but we'll just tell you the kind of person

she is, and let you decide for yourself.

She's just the happiest, most companion-able person you've ever seen—a person whocan understand when you tell her things;

will talk seriously with you, and will laughwith you. Put together some wavy light

hair, sparkling blue eyes, pink cheeks wheredimples play hide and seek, and flashing-

white teeth, and you may have some idea

of what she looks like. And we've decided

she's both wholesome and sweet.

"Blue were her eyes as the fairy flax,

Her cheeks as the dawn of day."

Kate Jackson Walker Cornelia Wearn



Kate is more "grown up" in her bear-

ing than most of us. She has a brisk, quiet,

womanly way of doing things that is very

pleasant to watch, and she is decided

—

hasn't the flabby, "wishy-washy" brain that

the last century was inclined to attribute to

women. She is a typical up-to-date woman,thoroly feminine in all that the word orig-

inally implied; and thoroly efficient.

"I lead in the way of righteousness, in

the midst of the paths of judgment."



Cornelia is a good old scout! She's the

kind of person you do things with when you

want to enjoy yourself immensely. Youshould hear her root at a game, and you

should see her play a game herself—she

does it whole-heartedly! It's a real treat

to hear her talk, too; she has the most un-

usual drawl—it's most attractive!

"With health, happiness, and wisdom,

life is one continuous success."

Elizabeth Woodward William James Yates



Everything Elizabeth does is well done,

and there is never any "to do" about it.

She reminds one of a perfectly oiled ma-chine sometimes—the way she every day

hands in the required amount of work, cor-

rectly done, and on time. And yet, in no

machine could there live such a gentle,

friendly spirit as Elizabeth's is. She's a

queer mixture of up-to-date efficiency and

the gentle lady of "ye olden times."

"There is no limit to a real friend's

value."

Height, 5 feet, 9V2 inches; Weight, 136


He's an energetic young whirlwind, this

William Yates. He has all the attributes

of aforementioned whirlwind, too; he is

noisy, forceful, and destructive (to furni-

ture in particular) ; but he has many other

characteristics beside. His ability to ex-

press himself is truly remarkable; his en-

thusiasm is refreshing, and quite conta-

gious; he has executive ability in an unusual

degree; his voice is very good, and his goodhumor is proverbial, and he has been knownto see a joke some six months after it wastold.

Samuel Herbfrt Youngblood



He's a solid-looking young citizen, and is

always well dressed. We can well under-

stand why he is so solid-looking, because

he is perpetually devouring something. It

is really remarkable—his ability to be hun-

gry. And then, too, when one is always

in a good humor, one is apt to laugh a good

deal, and this is said to add avoirdupois.

"Room! Make way! Hunger commands;my valor must obey."

THE CLASS OF NINETEEN

WAS many and many a year ago,

In the public school of Charlotte, I ween,

A Class began, whom all shall knowAs the Class of 'Nineteen.

We studied reading and arithmetic thru,

Till we all had our records clean;

As all good children are known to do,

Did we, the Class of 'Nineteen.

At last we to High School were sent,

And entered shy little Freshmen—green,

But steadily up the ladder we went,

This Class of 'Nineteen.

And now, as Seniors wise and bold,

We think of the work and fun we've seen

In reaching this, our long-sought goal

—

The best Class of 'Nineteen.

So for many and many a year together

We've studied and played, thru thick and thin,

And now we're grieved our ties to sever

—

The Class of 'Nineteen.

I'ut nay, we will not say—part!

For tho our faces may no longer be seen,

These days will always be treasured in the hearts

Of the Class of 'Nineteen.

And wherever life hereafter may call us,

Away from friends and away from kin,

We'll always remember, whate'er befall us,

This Class of 'Nineteen.

CLASS HISTORY

XT WAS on a bright September day, some eleven years ago, whena crowd of bright-faced, happy-hearted little children, now theSenior Class of 'Nineteen, were brought by their mothers to enterschool. Oh, how important we felt ! It was time now, we thought,

to lay aside the toys and games of younger days—at least till the newnessof school wore off—for now we had to study. All went along just lovelyfor a time. Everyone was kept busy wondering what would happen next

;

at first, it was to recite our lessons, and then play, then recite some more,and go home. Yes, and we wondered when we learned to spell our first

word if anyone knew quite as much as we. But soon the excitement ofthe first school days began to wear off, and then our teachers were keptbusy making our work interesting, so that there would be no "playinghookey" and "I-am-tired-of-school" complaints.

Well, you see we succeeded, and each year we took another step in

climbing the steep road to graduation, finding each time a little moredifficulty in planning to have our work and play congenial. On thru thegrammar grades we sped. We began each year with new and eagerexpectancy, and tho probably during the middle of the term we became alittle tired, this soon wore away as the time for the long-looked-for vacation

drew near.

Then one day, after our long and enjoyable vacation, we entered

High School, almost before we knew it. This Freshman year passed withlittle in our experience foreign to the usual experience of the first-year

high-school student. We stood a little in awe of the work ahead of us.

Yet, with eyes wide open, desiring not to miss anything, and trying to

conduct ourselves in such a way that we might be treated with proper

respect, we went joyfully along. My! how bright the world seemed for

about three months—for you know there are no examinations every weekin high school—but quarterly. And then—oh, the work some of us had

to do to pass those examinations ! This, of course, was our hardest bump

;

but when they were all over and passed, we started in with light hearts

again, resolving to study a little harder, and not go thru another such

week. Except for a few who were bumped a little too hard, and so fell out

of the ranks, we all completed our Freshman year, and felt that we were

ready to take up our important duties as Sophomores.

So the next fall, bright and early, we met again—this time not as

timid little Freshmen, but world-wise and knowing Sophomores. The

feeling of "knowing it all" predominated now, altho it suffered a relapse

at times when Mr. Graham would come into our class asking his character-

istic questions. Usually, after waiting some time, he would have to single

out some young lady or gentleman, and say, "Speak a little louder, please.'

This year the Domestic Science department increased in interest for the

girls, as did Manual Training for the boys ; and quite proud of the tables

and stands were the boys at the end of the year

!

Another vacation came and went. September again ; and we wereback at High School. Our Junior Year was quite eventful. We found

we had lost a number of our fellow-classmates, and even those who wereleft became divided, as some decided that to be expert chemists was moreinteresting and profitable than to be masters (?) of a dead language.

This year also introduced the interesting and yet perplexing subject of

geometry, along with the noted Junior-Senior parties ; also Mr. Alexander,

with his "parley vous Francais," and Mr. Lee, with his beloved Tennysonand Unity, Mass, and Coherence. These two added very much to our

esteemed faculty, but in the spring their aid was needed to help teach a

greater lesson than these, to a more obdurate class—namely, the Huns.

Now, as for the rest of the acts of the Juniors, the parts played on

the athletic field and in the Y. W. C. A., are they not recorded in the

Snips and Cuts of 'Eighteen?

All our High School years were flighty rounds of parties and candy

pulls, with few lessons sandwiched in between ; but now for the fourth

time the old High School bell reminded us, after the summer holidays,

to gather up our books and begin again. From this time forth the goal

—

our diploma.

And now, as we approach our journey's end, and this long-sought-for

goal, in looking back over the eleven happy, expectant years which have

crept by so stealthily, we feel that we would gladly stop this flight of time.

For it will soon be time to say farewell to our beloved teachers, who have

so patiently counseled and directed us thru our most difficult years at

school. We must also say farewell to each other. As this Class goes out

into the world, no more as a Class but as individuals, each in his or her

way trying to carry out the ideals instilled into us at old Charlotte High

School, let us one and all keep ever before us the motto

:

"To thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man."

—Historian, '19

OFFICERS' POST

AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION

Archangel, Russia

September 9, 1926

Y Dear Constance

:

This is the first opportunity I have had to write you since

my arrival. I imagine you are wondering what in the world I

have been doing, and if Post Argonne is as awful as we decided

before I left the States. It isn't awful at all; in fact, it's simply wonderful.

Of course, it's very cold, and we have three feet of snow already. Ice

skating is the main sport just now, and we surely have lots of good times

skating on Dwina River. Every night there are dozens of skating parties

from our Post—officers with their wives, daughters, and sisters. It's such

fun. By the way, whom do you suppose I accidentally met the other night?'

One of our old Charlotte High School classmates. You see, the wind was

blowing, and we were skating on the farther side of the river. There was

a huge fire just beyond the bank, a nice cosy spot. I had been skating,

and had gone a little too far, and was naturally half frozen when I at last

reached the fire. I sat down on a stump to warm, and felt a bit homesick

and lonely. It seems my mind is entirely too prone to wonder back home.

I was not alone long, however, as a bunch came up. They were talking and

laughing. All of a sudden I decided one of the party laughed terribly

familiarly. I looked—stared, I might truthfully say—and guess whomI saw. A tall handsome brunette—none other than Cornelia Wearn. She

is also visiting her brother, a popular officer at the Post. I wept for pure

joy. No more skating that evening. Talk? I should say we did. Cornelia

was as full of news as I ; and what she didn't know, I did. We talked of

the good old days at Charlotte High School, the Class of 'Nineteen

mostly. Cornelia didn't know that Albert Orr had made a name for himself

as a comedian, or that Vardy at last became a great actress. I also told

her of meeting the Hon. William Yates in New York, and all that he told

me of the famous studio of Ruth Anthony and Beulah Boger; of the

success of Herron Beaty as a government cartoonist, and his assistant

Cordelia Henderson ; of my meeting Isabel McLaughlin and her husband

on the way over. She couldn't conceive of Isabel's being married, and to

a poet, too. I then told her about Isabel meeting Edgar McCorkle, Secretary

to the Governor of North Carolina, and of Edgar's valued information

concerning some of our long-lost Class. She was so surprised when I told

her of our teachers—of Carrie Springs teaching French in the new High

School, and of Sadie Belle Miller, Virginia Eskridge, and Edith Sheppard,

who are endeavoring to stuff knowledge into the heads of poor unfortunate

infants under the principalship of Miss Edwina Moretz. Lucile Piper is

married. Yes, she married a wealthy fellow she met at Camp Greene the

year we graduated.

Cornelia said that she met Ensign Edgar Love at a dance in Boston,

given in honor of the officers and sailors of the ship "Washington", and

that she also met Katherine Shelton, who came up to see her husband,

who is an officer on the same ship.

It seems that Viola Small has secured a splendid position as a concert

reader, and that Kate Walker, Wilbur Sylvester, Tom Graham, and Frank

Phillips have entered the field of science, and each is making many inter-

esting discoveries, which doubtless will be of great use to man.

You remember Eva Mae Rhyne, so quiet and unobstrusive? Well, she

has taken up kindergarten work with Blanche Roberts, as a teacher.

Willie Lillycrop and Josephine Barnhardt are two of our Class who

accepted calls to the foreign mission fields, and are doing great work in

Africa and Korea.

Mary Washburn and Bennie May Cunningham are taking special

courses in Domestic Science, at Columbia.

It seems that Herbert Youngblood and Louis Duval turned out

Methodist ministers. Think of it ! I always knew that Herbert and Louis

would some day make names for themselves.

Maurice Neiman is a very prominent business man of Chicago, with

a branch in Charlotte. Gerty Secrest and Elizabeth Woodward are two

of his stenographers in his Charlotte office.

Helen Fricker is also teaching—not in Charlotte, however. I heard

that she intended teaching with Louise Gilbert, in Raleigh, next year.

You have surely heard of the cotton firm, Rhodes & Moore, haven't

you ? They are none other than George Rhodes and Allen Moore, bachelors,

and wealthy.

Cornelia said that Edward Martin had become a famous doctor.

Ethel Hall reached the height of her ambition. She and her husband,

a wealthy broker, are traveling in Italy. Grace Redfern is with them. You

remember Grace as the daintiest and neatest in Class, don't you?

By the way, guess whom I happened to meet in Philadelphia, on myway to New York. Enola Abernathy. She and Mary McKnight are con-

ducting a very select school for girls in one of the suburbs. Enola gave

me Eloise Doxey's and Margaret Bedell's Paris address. I found both as

fine as ever. Eloise is a famous pianist, and Margaret a popular prima-

donna. I told Eloise of your plans to study abroad, and she immediately

asked for your address. She is anxious for you to come to Paris and be

with her.

Have you heard of Robert Sessom's wonderful reputation as coach

at Harvard? That makes three of our Class who have prominent positions

in colleges—George Farrington, as professor of French at the University

of North Carolina, and Frank Sammonds, professor of Agriculture.

Here we were interrupted by the rest of the bunch, who were also

cold. Cornelia and I reluctantly turned our weary but happy steps towards

the Post, planning many more talks and good times this winter.

Who would have thought that things would have turned out as they

have? That Cornelia and I would meet after such a long time, and discuss

our Class of 'Nineteen? Not only Cornelia and I of the Class of

'Nineteen are here. Woodley Chapman is an electrical engineer,

with a first lieutenant's commission. I met him and his wife the next day

at a reception. Woodley looks well, and is really handsome ; and his wife

is very attractive. He had a letter from Walter Hook. Walter is at Rheims.

He and his father are contractors for the rebuilding of the Cathedral, and

are gaining much fame and prominence.

There, I have written a book. It is getting dark, and Mamma is calling.

Charlie always comes in hungry. That's the way with all these brothers,

isn't it?

Write me very soon, and don't forget,

P. S.—Ah! I forget to tell you about seeing William Harding in

Washington. He is a civil engineer, and is now working in Canada.

FOOTBALL^^^>HE football season of 'Eighteen was attended by a run of hard

/ luck. Difficulties beset the team on every side. The lack of

material was disheartening. This year, Charlotte High School

lost at the beginning of the season not only the old men of the

team, but also our coach, Mr. Ritch. Mr. Ritch had been coaching the

Charlotte High School teams for several years on his own initiative and

at his own expense. Mr. Ritch's work was unselfish and laudable, and

the loss of his support was a hard blow. Then, after overcoming manyobstacles, we began to play. In the very first game our captain and right

halfback, Allen Moore, broke his collar-bone. As his work was almost

indispensable on offense and defense, you can understand the position the

team was in. With practically no backing, the team played a few moregames before the close of the season. And, altho the season was unsuccess-

ful as regards the number of games won, we consider that, in view of

the many drawbacks which we encountered, to put out any sort of a teamwhatsoever was exceptionally good work.

BASKET-BALL^^^>HE Nineteen-Nineteen basket-ball season was a very successful one.

<*\ The team this year was an exceptionally fast and plucky one.

,V Much of this was due to the fine material in school, and to the

fine work done by Coach Faul in getting the team in good shape.

The direction of Captain Orr, and the management of Hook, were of the

best. The work of Graham and Martin was the feature of the season

;

altho the team was an all-star one. The season started with muchenthusiasm, and the school backing was good. After playing some local

teams, Charlotte High School played Concord Y. M. C. A. here. This wasthe first big game of the season. Later Greensboro High School andSpencer High School were vanquished on the local Y. M. C. A. floor.

Then, after playing Belmont at Charlotte, the team defeated Huntersville

on their own floor. A large number of supporters went up to Hunters-

ville in autos, and much is owed to them for the victory. The Spencer

game was won in the same way. Greensboro was defeated next, and weentered the Western championship race. The team played Asheville in

the preliminaries, at Asheville, and was defeated because the team's long

season had made it go stale. The last game of the season was played with

Charlotte Y. M. C. A. Altho we failed to win the championship, the season

was most successful, as the schedule shows.

ALEXANDER GRAHAM LITERARY SOCIETY

XN 1904, Mr. Harding organized, in the Charlotte High School, a

literary society on a nucleus of forty-nine members. Four years

later this society was given its name, in honor of Mr. Alexander

Graham, who for so many years was the superintendent of the schools.

The personnel of its roll now numbers thirty-two, pupils exclusively from

the Junior and Senior classes. Formerly, the Sophomores also were

admitted.

Altho during this past year the work of the Society has been inter-

rupted by the quarantines, still it has made some progress towards accom-

plishing its original purpose, namely : that of acquainting its members with

the rules of parliamentary law, inspiring in them a spirit of self-confi-

dence, co-operation, and fraternity, and making them familiar with the

important questions which arise from the conditions of the times.

Our meetings are held the second Friday in each school month. These

have been made most beneficial and enjoyable by the characters of the

programs, which have been arranged so as to include debates, declamations,

recitations, and musical numbers.

This year, to our Society belongs the distinction of having four of its

members chosen to represent the Charlotte High School in the Inter-High

School Debate.

The success of Society work in the High School has been due largely

to the fine, enthusiastic spirit, and willingness of the individual members

as well as that of the officers to make their Society a representation of

the majority, and to make its influence predominate as a live, stimulating

factor in High School life.

BILL DAVIS LITERARY SOCIETY

HE Bill Davis Literary Society was organized by the members of

the Junior and Senior Classes of the Charlotte High School, in

the fall of 1910, and was named for our Principal, Mr. William

Barham Davis.

Our meetings are held the third Friday afternoon of each month.

Considering the number of interruptions, we have had a most profitable

year. Interesting programs have been given, consisting of debates, read-

ings, and music. Not only have we enjoyed our meetings from a literary

standpoint, but from a social standpoint as well.

Realizing the importance of fitting ourselves for the varied duties

of life, the objects of our Society are to cultivate a correct mode of speak-

ing, and to qualify ourselves by practice for expressing our opinions in

public in an easy manner.

Here's hoping that the future members of the Society will derive as

much benefit as we have gained this year, and get as much enjoyment

from being a member of the Bill Davis Literary Society as we.

GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL CLUB

HE aim of our High School Club is. to give the girls in our High

School high standards of living, to teach them the greatness and

love of God, and to give them good clean fun. We strive to

develop all sides of the High School girls' life.

In our formal meetings this year, we have emphasized Vocations.

We have tried to impress the girls with the importance of going to A-grade

colleges. Also, to have some definite aim in life before leaving High

School. We have had women who have made a success in professions

here in Charlotte—teachers, journalists, social workers, and doctors—to

tell us of their work and the wonderful opportunities women now have.

We have learned to think of others in our Social Service work.

Many pleasant afternoons have been spent sewing on clothes for Belgian

refugees, doing work for the Red Cross, and down at the Alexander

Home, either helping them mend or holding story-hours. Last fall, when

we were quarantined for the "flu," and could not hold regular meetings,

we filled Christmas boxes for the "orphant" soldiers overseas. Later on

we stuffed great big red stockings with all the nice things Santa Claus

brings good boys and girls. We delivered these ourselves to children of

the city to whom "Santa Claus" otherwise would have been nothing more

than a mere term. We have several shut-ins whom we so enjoy visiting

and entertaining by reading to them.

But all our time has not been spent with serious thinking and work.

There have been many parties and good times sandwiched between. Westarted off last fall by giving the Sophs who came into our Club a party.

Then came the Faculty Tea, when we got a pleasant glimpse of the social

side of our teachers. And that Fancy Dress Party to the Delta Club

!

Who can forget it? But, oh! that night at the Hostess House, with all

the other Departments of the Y. W. C. A. ; with Mrs. Bickett's talk on

her trip to France. Need I say more?

When our membership campaign came off so successfully, we could

not resist having a Banquet for the new girls. So have it we did. And

are we sorry? No.

Last, but not least, comes Camp. After being in school all year,

nothing is so restful as two weeks spent away from the sweltering heat

of the city, and out close to nature. One of the most alluring things at

camp is the swimming pool. We also have classes for studying interesting

books.

Thus our year comes to an end, and we leave for our long vacations

from school.

DELTA CLUB

HRU the efforts of Mr. David R. Preston and Mr. C. W. Tillett,

Jr., the Delta Club was formed some four years ago. The Clubis composed of forty-five members, fifteen from each school

represented, namely : Charlotte High School, Baird's School for

Boys, and Charlotte University School.

The purpose of the Club is to create, maintain, and extend thruout

the school high standards of Christian character. The Club also stands

for clean sport, clean speech, and clean school life. It teaches the boyto break a bad habit, to form a good one, and to read and understand the

Bible.

This year we have had for our leader Mr. John L. Jackson, and wehave discussed the problems of school life, and I am sure every boy has

been made stronger in spirit, mind, and body, because of his membershipin this our Delta Club.
