THE CARY PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL
AjSTD
FARM LIFE SCHOOL
History
The Cary Public High School and Fa'rrh Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1007. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the Legislature, providing for' farm life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Gary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large and well equipped two-story wooden building, with ample boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew partonage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and M. B. Dry was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments constantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000.00. The old dormitory build- ing for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916 is now being replaced by a $10,000.00 brick structure which will be completed by the opening of the fall term. This building will be equipped with steam heat, baths, lavatories and toilets. It is located near the main school building and will be occupied by the girls.
The present girls' dormitory, located a few hundred yards from the campus, will, in the future, be occupied by the boys. Sufficient boarding accommodations can be provided for as many students, either boys or girls, as may desire to attend.

The course of study for the Elementary School is not outlined here since it is identical with that outlined by the State Department of Education.
Music is one of the culture subjects and ought to be in every home. It adds charm to the home life, turning many a dull hour into one of real enjoyment.
It is elective in all the courses. We endeavor to give a course in Music that is thorough. Only teachers of recognized musical ability and skill are employed. The school owns four pianos and a grafa- nola.
For session 1016-1917, both instrumental and vocal music will be offered.
WHAT WE ARE DOING FOR OUR BOYS AND GIRLS
The school is endeavoring to put itself in line with the demands of the times for practical education. The demand for vocational training, especially the training needed by the boys and girls who are to live in the country, is becoming more and more insistent. The whole course of study at Cary has been planned with this in view.
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 17
The so-callecl cultural subjects have uot been discarded, but emphasis is placed ou shop work aud field work for the boys, aud cooking and sewiug for the girls.
OUR EQUIPMENT FOR VOCATIONAL TRAIXIXG
In the school basement are two large, well-lighted rooms one of which serves as a kitchen and the other as a dining and sewing room. The kitchen is provided with running water, hot and cold, sinks, laundry tub. domestic science desks, oil and wood ranges, cup- boards, refrigerator, bins, oil stoves, and the most approved cooking utensils. The sewing and dining room contains dining tables and sewing tables with chairs, sewing machines, sewing lockers, china and linen closets, dressing mirror, and a substantial and attractive set of china and silver ware. The equipment of this department has been pronounced by experts to be as good as can be found in any school of the same grade in the State at present.
For the boys a room in the basement has been fitted up with work benches, tools, etc.. and here all sorts of useful articles about the home and farm are made under the direction of the teacher of the farm life department. Another room in the basement serves as a dairy laboratory. The ecpiipment consists of two cream separators, the De Laval and the Sharpies, a Babcock milk tester, a sterilizer. a canning outfit and running water. The milk will be brought from the school farm to the dairy room where the milk and cream will be separated by the students and delivered to the dormitories.
There are also laboratories where systematic work is done in illustrating the principles of Physics. Chemistry, Botany and Agri- culture. Recently a canning outfit was donated to the school and will be in active operation during the summer and fall months, the fruit and vegetables being canned on the school farm for use in the boarding department.
The school owns a farm of sixteen acres on which a model barn and farm cottage have been built. The school also owns two fine Jersey cows and a Percheron mare, besides a lot of farm machinery. On this farm, as well as on the other farms in the neighborhood, the pupils learn how to set and to prune and spray fruit trees, to terrace hill sides, to select and test seed, to grow vegetables for market and for home use. and to experiment with cover crops, fertilizers, etc. It will be the earnest effort of the school to make the farm a practical demonstration of the best methods of farming, dairying, and pig and poultry raising.
LITERARY SOCIETIES
Cary is fortunate in having four well organized, wide awake, ami enthusiastic literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoon and the boys on Thursday nights.
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 19
Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medai f >r the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former graduate of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement.
The literary societies are the school's strong right arm. Here the pupils of the high school meet once a week and declaim or recite, report on current events, and discuss the great questions that agitate the country. In the debates, not only do the members acquire skill in handling an opponent, but the knowledge of parliamentary practice which is so essential to success in handling large groups of men, is acquired in these societies.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus, one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS .
Pupifs must bring certificates from former teacher showing that the work of the Seventh Grade has been satisfactorily completed. Pupils unprepared for high school work are assigned to work in the grades. Credit is given for work done in other schools of the same standing.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholarship, deport- ment, etc.. are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.

The Cary Public High School
and Farm Life School
History
The Cary Public High School and Farm Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name Avas changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the Legislature, providing for farm life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school be- ing changed from the Cary Public High School to the . Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large and well equipped two-story wooden building, with ample boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Eev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and M. B. Dry was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con- stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had out- grown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School
9
brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000.00. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916 has been replaced by a $10,000.00 brick structure. This building is equipped with steam heat, baths, lavatories and toilets. It is located near the main school building and is occupied by the girls and the lady teachers.
The old dormitory for girls, located a few hundred yards from the campus, will be occupied by the boys until a new dormitory can be built. Sufficient boarding accommodations can be provided for as many students, either boys or girls, as may desire to attend.
Courses of Study
Instruction in the High School is offered in the following subjects : English, Mathematics, History, Science, Latin, French, Agriculture, Home Economics, Music. To receive a certificate of graduation, a pupil must have completed one of the following courses :

The course of study for the Elementary School is not out- lined here since it is identical with that outlined by the State Department of Education.
Music is one of the culture subjects and ought to be in every home. It adds charm to the home life, turning many a dull hour into one of real enjoyment.
It is elective in all the courses. We endeavor to give a course in Music that is thorough. Only teachers of recognized musical ability and skill are employed. The school owns four pianos and a graf anola.
For session 1917-1918, both instrumental and vocal music will be offered.
What We Are Doing For Our Boys and Girls
The school is endeavoring to put itself in line with the de- mands of the times for practical education. The demand for vocational training, especially the training needed by the boys and girls who are to live in the country, is becoming more and more insistent. The whole course of study at Cary has been planned with this in view. The so-called cultural subjects have not been discarded, but emphasis is placed on shop work and field work for the boys, and cooking and sewing for the girls.
Our Equipment For Vocational Training
In the school basement are two large, well-lighted rooms, one of which serves as a kitchen and the other as a dining and sew- ing room. The kitchen is provided with running water, hot
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 19
and cold, sinks, laundry tub, domestic science desks, oil and wood ranges, cupboards, refrigerator, bins, oil stoves, and the most approved cooking utensils. The sewing and dining room contains dining tables and sewing tables with chairs, sewing machines, sewing lockers, china'and linen closets, dressing mir- ror, and a substantial and attractive set of china and silver ware. The equipment of this department has been pronounced by experts to be as good as can be found in any school of the. same grade in the State at. present.
For the boys a room in the basement has been fitted up with work benches, tools, etc., and here all sorts of useful articles about the home and farm are made under the direction of the teacher of the farm life department. Another room in the basement serves as a dairy laboratory. The equipment consists of two cream separators, the De Laval and the Sharpies, a Babcock milk tester, a sterilizer, a canning outfit and running; water.
There are also laboratories where systematic work is done in illustrating the principles of Physics, Chemistry, Botany xand Agriculture. Recently a large cannery was built by the school and the Cary Junior Order jointly, which will be in active operation during the summer and fall months, canning the fruits and vegetables on the school farm for use in the boarding department as well as the fruits and vegetables grown in the community.
The school owns a farm of sixteen acres on which a model barn and farm cottage have been built. The school also owns two fine Jersey cows besides a lot of farm machinery. On this farm, as well as on the other farms in the neighborhood, the pupils learn how to set and prune and spray fruit trees, to terrace hill sides, to select and test seed, to grow vegetables for market and for home use, and to experiment with cover crops, fertilizers, etc. It will be the earnest effort of the school to make the farm a practical demonstration of the best methods of farming, dairying, and pig and poultry raising.
Literary Societies
Cary is fortunate in having four well organized, wide awake, and enthusiastic literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Thursday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 21
a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former graduate of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Com- mencement.
The literary socities are the school's strong right arm. Here the pupils of the high school meet once a week and declaim or recite, report on current events, and discuss the great questions that agitate the country. In the debates, not only do the mem- bers acquire skill in handling an opponent, but the knowledge of parliamentary practice which is so essential to success in handling large groups of men, is acquired in these societies.
Athletics
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus, one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assist- ance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
Entrance Requirements
Pupils must bring certificates from former teacher showing that the work of the Seventh Grade has been satisfactorily com- pleted. Pupils unprepared for high school work are assigned to work in the grades. Credit is given for work done in other schools of the same standing.
Examinations and Reports
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.

The Cary Public High School
and
Farm Life School History
The Cary Public High School and Farm Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. Theofficial name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the Legislature, providing for farm life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school be- ing changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with ample boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twehTe years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and M. B. Dry, the present Principal, was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con- stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had out-

grown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $11,000. The building is provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories and toilets, and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormitory, which has been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. The school is now erecting on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $25,000.

Music is one of the culture subjects and ought to be in every home. It adds charm to the home life, turning many a dull hour into one of real enjoyment.
Elocution and Art, like Music, /-are special subjects mainly cultural, but may be made of much utilitarian value. It is hoped that many, both boys and girls, will avail themselves of the opportunities offered in these special departments.
What We Are Doing for Our Boys and Girls.
The school is endeavoring to put itself in line with the de- mands of the times for practical education. The demand for vocational training especially the training needed by the boys and girls who are to live in the country, is becoming more and more insistent. The whole course of study at Cary has been planned with this in view. The so-called cultural subjects have not been discarded, but emphasis is placed on shop work and field work for the boys, and cooking and sewing for the girls.
Our Equipment for Vocational Training
In the school basement are two large, well-lighted rooms, one of which serves as a kitchen and the other as a dining and serv- ing room. The kitchen is provided with running water, hot and cold, sinks, laundry tub, domestic science desks, oil and wood ranges, cupboards, refrigerator, bins, oil stoves, and the most; approved cooking utensils. The dining room contains din- ing tables with chairs, china and linen closets, and a substantial and attractive set of china and silver ware. The sewing room is on the first floor and is provided with sewing tab^s with chairs, sewing machines, sewing lockers, dressing mirror, etc. The equipment has been pronounced by experts to be as good as can be found in any school of the same grade in the State at present.
For the boys, there is a room in the basement fitted up with work benches and tools for use of the Agricultural students, and another room contains a cream separator, Babcock milk tester and a sterilizer for use of classes in dairying.
22 Gary Public High School and Farm Life School.
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School. 23
There are also laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc., where systematic work is done in illustrating the principles of Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Agriculture. A large cannery is located on the school grounds and is operated during summer and fall months, canning the fruits and vegetables on the school farm for use in the boarding depart- ment as well as the fruits and vegetables grown in the com- munity.
The school owns a farm of twenty-one acres on which a barn and farm cottage have been built. The school also owns a Percheron mare, two Jersey cows, some pigs and chickens, besides a lot of farm machinery. On this farm, as well as on the other farms in the neighborhood, the pupils learn how to set and prune and spray fruit trees, to terrace hill sides, to select and test seed, to grow vegetaVes for market and for home use, and to experiment with cover crops, fertilizers, etc.
At present the school receives an appropriation from the Fed- eral Government under the Smith-Hughes Act of Congress, which requires that each pupil taking the Agricultural course shall have a "project" either on the school farm or preferably at his home, this "project" to be closely supervised by the Agricul- tural teacher.
Literary Societies
Cary is fortunate in having four well organized literary socie- ties, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former graduate of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement.
Athletics
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already

passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus, one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls, are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assist- ance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
Entrance Requirements
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certificate from former teacher showing work that has been done. Blanks for this purpose will be furnished on application. Entrance examinations will be held on at least two subjects, English and Mathematics, for ,those wishing to enter classes above the Freshman.
Examinations and Reports
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.

Special Notes
Last session 179 high school pupils were enrolled. There were 137 boarders from 14 counties. The graduating class numbered 26.
The dormitory for girls is furnished with neat and attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and containing an oak dresser, an oak wash stand with fixtures, two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers, and two chairs. One of the rooms is used as an infirmary.
The new brick dormitory for boys will have the same conven- iences as the girls' dormitory.
Summarizing, we wish to stress the following features of the school, several of which are illustrated by cuts in this catalogue : (1) One of the most substantial high school buildings in the State. (2) An admirable heating and ventilating system. (3) Running water in the buildings. (4) Bored well on the campus. (5) Spacious class rooms lighted on one side and provided with cabinets built into the walls. (6) Tablet arm chairs for the high school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (7) An auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery and a splendid stage and scenery. (8) Laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc. (9) Dormitories both for boys and girls — both handsome brick structures, with steam heat, baths, etc. (10) A school farm with buildings and equipment for demonstrating the principles of agriculture, dairying, stock raising, etc. (11) A complete playground equipment for the whole school. (12) An unsurpassed domestic science equipment for high school students. (13) An ample force of trained teach- ers to do the work of the school.

The High School Annual
Each year the Senior Class publishes a book, the title of which is the "C. H. Chsite," which contains the individual pictures of the class, group pictures of the lower classes, the faculty, the societies and various other organizations of the school. Besides these there are pictures of the buildings and grounds, various and sundry school activities, cartoons, etc. It also contains the class will, the class prophecy, history, poem and many original jokes, puns, etc. It is a publication usually well edited, and beautifully printed and bound, and is highly prized by the pupils, teachers and patrons. The 1919 Annual is especially attractive, being bound in black leather with title on cover in gold letters and the whole printed on the finest quality of paper. The price is $2.00. A few copies are still on hand and can be had at this price.
The school owns a few copies of the 1918 Annual which it is loaning to those investigating the merits of the school, with the understanding that they be returned after they are examined.
Since the names of the high school pupils by classes are printed in the Annual they are omitted from this catalogue.
The graduating class and winners of medals for 1918 are printed in this catalogue, as no catalogue was issued least year owing to war conditions.
Our patrons and friends are urged to patronize our adver- tisers, both those who advertise in the catalogue and those who advertise in the Annual.

History
The Cary Public High School and Farm Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the Legislature, providing for farm life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school be- ing changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Eev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of E. L. Middleton. In 1980. Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent- was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con-.
8 Gary Public High School and Farm Life School
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 9
stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in {his State and South Carolina. The old two-story wooden building which the school had out- grown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $11,000. The building is povided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories' etc.. and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. The school has just erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $25,000.

Our Equipment for Vocational Training
In the basement of the Girl's Dormitory are two rooms, a dinning room and kitchen used at present for the cooking de- partment of the school. This department is provided with running water, sinks, domestic science desks, oil and wood rages, oil stoves and the most approved cooking utensils.
The sewing room is on the first floor of the main building and is provided with sewing tables, chairs, sewing machines, dressing mirror, etc.
For the boys, rooms in the main building are equipped with individual desks of special design, cream separator. Babcock testers, incubators, etc.
Besides these there are also laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc., where systematic work is done in illustrating the principles of Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Agriculture. A large cannery is located on the school grounds and is operated during summer and fall months, canning the fruits and vegetables on the school farm for use in the boarding depart- ment as well as the fruits and vegetables grown in the com- munity.
At present the school receives an appropriation from the Fed- eral Government under the Smith-Hughes Act of Congress, which requires that each pupil taking the Agricultural course
20 Cary Public High School and Farm Life School
o
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 21
shall have a "project" either on the school farm or preferably at his home, this "project" to he closely supervised by the Agricul- rural teachers.
New Vocational Building
Recently the Cary School District voted a bond issue for the erection of a building to be used chiefly by the departments of Agriculture and Home Economics. The building will be of brick and will contain a gymnasium, science laboratories, agri- cultural rooms, shop and forge, and rooms for cooking and sewing.
Literary Societies
Cary is fortunate in having four well organized literary socie- ties, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith- a former graduate of the schooL gives an- nually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lil- lian Killingsworth, formerly Lady Principal of the schooL gives annually a medal for the best depater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Commencement.
The boys' societies also give a debaters' medal for the best debater at Commencement.
Medals and Prizes
The following medals are offered annually: Best debater in Clay and Calhoun Societies, best debater in Irving and Lowell Societies, most improvement in each of the societies, highest
22 Gary Public High School and Farm Life School
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 23
scholarship, best oration, best declamation, best recitation. The scholarship medal is given by the Superintendent the orator's medal by Mr. H. P. Smith* a former graduate of the school and the medal for best debater in Irving and Lowell Societies by Miss Lillian Killingsworth, former Lady Principal of the school. Miss Killingsworth will also give annually hereafter a prize in books for the library to the class doing best work in English. The conditions will be announced later.
Athletics
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls, are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assist- ance to the various form of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the schol.
Examinations and Reports
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.

The dormitory for girls is furnished with neat and attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and containing
r
an oak dresser, an oak wash stand with fixtures, two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers, and two chairs. One of the rooms is used as an infirmary.

Summarizing, we wish to stress the following features of the school, several of which are illustrated by cuts in this catalogue : (1) One of the most substantial high school buildings in the State. (2) An admirable heating and ventilating system. (3) Running water in the buildings. (4) Bored well on the campus (5) Spacious class rooms lighted on one side and provided with cabinets built into the walls. (6) Tablet arm chairs for the high school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (7) An auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery and a splendid stage and scenery. (8) Laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc. (9) Dormitories both for boys and girls — both handsome brick structures, with steam heat, baths, etc. (10) A school farm with buildings and equipment for demonstrating the principles of agriculture, dairying, stock raising, etc. (11) A complete playground equipment for the whole school. (12) An unsurpassed domestic science equipment for high school students. (13) An ample force of trained teach- ers to do the work of the school.
Student Government
The school took an advanced step last year, under the leader- ship of Miss Killingsworth, the Lady Principal, by organizing the students in the high school into a self-governing body with its four units corresponding to the states in our federal system, each electing a council quarterly with a member of the faculty as adviser, and all the officers of the four units together con-
30 Cary Public High School and Farm Life School
stituting a general council with a president and other officers elected by the members of the general council.
The school was also organized in a somewhat similar manner into a general athletic association, the units of division in this case being the four classes or grades in the high school, whereas in the organization for pupil self-government' the uniits were the local boys, local girls, boarding boys and boarding girls.
These plans of organization were so effective last session in developing and maintaining school spirit and discipline that they will be continued for next session.

3. The Cary students are Helpful. They are ready to help persons in need at any time; to share duties of home and school. Each one does good turn to somebody every day.
4. The Cary students are Friendly. Each is a friend to all.
5. The Cary students are Courteous and Eespectful. They are always polite to women, children, older people, and the weak. They are obedient to parents, teachers, and all other duly constituted authorities.

Farm Life School
History
The Cary Public High School and Farm Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the legislature, providing for farm life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school be- ing changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1S96 to 1908, the school was under the wise management of F. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent, was elected ns his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con-
8 Cary Public High School and Farm Life School
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 9
stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and lexperienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in thj.9 State and South Carolina. The old two-story wooden building which the school had out- grown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The •old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $11,000. The building is provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a mordern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.

Our Equipment for Vocational Training
In the basement of the Girl's Dormitory are two rooms, a dinning room and kitchen used at present as a laboratory for the cooking department ofthe school. This department is provided with running water, sinks, domestic science desks, oil and wood ranges, oil stoves and the most approved cooking utensils.
The sewing room at present is on the first floor of the main building and is provided with sewing tables, chairs, sewing machines, dressing mirror, etc. *
For the boys, rooms in the main building are equipped with individual desks of special design, cream separator, Babcock testers, incubators, etc.
Besides these there are also laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc., where systematic work is done in illustrating the principals of Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Agriculture. A large cannery is located on the school grounds and is operated during the summer and fall months, canning the fruits and vege- tables grown in the community.
At present the school receives an appropriation from the Fed- eral Government under the Smith-Hughes Act of Congress, which requires that each pupil taking the Agricultural course shall have a "project'' either on the school farm or preferably at his home, this "project" to be closely supervised by the Agricul- tural teachers.
New Vocational Building
Tn May, 1920, the Cary School District voted a boad issue for flic erection «f a bui'Ming to be used chiefly by t4e departments
20 Carjj Public High School and Farm Life School
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 21
of Agriculture and Home Economics. The building will be of brick and will contain a gymnasium, science laboratories, agri- cultural rooms, and rooms for^cooking and sewing. A separate building will be erected for a wood shop and forge. These build- ings will probably be completed by the opening of the spring term.
Literary Societies
The school has four wTell organized literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former member of the school gives annually a medal to the member of the boy's societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killingsworth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives annually a medal for the best debater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Com- mencement,
The boy's societies also give a debater's medal for the best debater at Commencement.
Medals and Prizes
The following medals are offered annually: Best debater in Clay and Calhoun Societies, best debater in Irving and Lowell Societies, most improvement in each of the societies, highest scholarship, best oration, best declamation, best recitation. The scholarship medal is given by the Superintendent the orator's medal by Mr. H. P. Smith, a former graduate of the school, and the medal for best debater in Irving and Lowell Societies by Miss Lillian Tvillingsworth, former Lady Principal of the school.

Beleiving strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the
22 Cary Public High School and Farm Life School

school has made ample provision for heal hful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls, are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assist- ance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with' uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
Examinations and Reports
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The" pass mark is 75.

Farm Life School
HISTORY
The Cary Public High School and Farm Life School is an outgrowth of the old Cary High School which had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the legislature, providing for farm life in- struction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middle- ton Farm Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading- high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker,. Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent, was elected as his successor.

Cary Public High School mid Farm Life School 9
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equip- ment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments constantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $11,000. The building- is provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls1 dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls1 dormitory, at a cost of about $2§,000. This building is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.

OUR EQUIPMENT FOR VOCATIONAL TRAINING
In the basement of the Girls' Dormitory are two rooms, a dining room and kitchen used at present as a laboratory for the cooking department of the school This department is provided with running water, sinks, domestic science desks, oil and wood ranges, oil stoves and the most approved cook- ing utensils.
The sewing room at present is on the first floor of the main building and is provided with sewing tables, chairs, sewing machines, dressing mirror, etc.
Tor the boys, rooms in the main building are equipped with individual desks of special design, cream separator, Babcock testers, incubators, etc.
Besides these there are also laboratories with individual desks, running water, etc., where systematic work is done in illustrating the principles of Physics, Chemistry, Botany and Agriculture.
At present the school receives an appropriation from the Pederal Government under the Smith-Hughes Act of Con- gress, which requires that each pupil taking the Agricultural course shall have a "project" either on the school farm or preferably at his home, this "project" to be closely super- vised by the Agricultural teachers.
NEW VOCATIONAL BUILDING
In May, 1920, the Cary School District voted a bond issue for the erection of a building to be used chiefly by the de- partments of Agriculture and Home Economics, but owing to unavoidable circumstances the work has been delayed. It is hoped that the building will be under way before the session opens. The building will be of brick and will contain a gymnasium, science laboratories, agricultural rooms and rooms for cooking and sowing. A separate building has been erected for a wood shop and forge.

LITERARY SOCIETIES
The school has foui literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former member of the school gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killings- worth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives annually a medal for the best debater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Commencement. The boys' societies also give a debater's medal to the best debater at Commencement.
SCHOLARSHIP MEDAL
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholarship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to .compete for this medal.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the phys- ical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports for every sort of child from the little tot up to those who have already passed out of their teens. A baseball diamond, two basketball courts, one for boys and one for girls, three tennis courts, two groups of playground apparatus, one for the larger boys and another for the children and girls, are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful ex- ercise at recreation periods.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 27

Boys will bring pillows also.
The rates for room include fuel and lights.
Those desiring rooms reserved in the dormitories must deposit with the Business Manager $1.00 to show good faith. This amount will be deducted from the first month's rent. Rooms, however, will not be held longer than September 2, except by request.
All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
All bills unpaid by June 1, following the close of school, tvill be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school is fortunate in having ample boarding facilities for all the boarding pupils and teachers. In the basement of the main building is a large dining hall capable of seating over two hundred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of ten at each table with a hostess in charge who sees to it that the rules of table etiquette are observed. From
Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 29
time to time the teacher of domestic science gives a demon- stration on table manners. The management of the school believes this to be an important part of an education. Table board is given at actual cost. By buying groceries in large quantities, the price of board has been kept at a very low rate, usually about $15.00 a month.
TEACHER TRAINING DEPARTMENT
Plans are under way for the establishment of a department of teacher training in the school whereby a pupil can get the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a cer- tificate to teach. According to this plan a pupil who has completed the Junior year of high school work can by taking this course secure an elementary certificate class B without attending summer school or college. A high school graduate by taking the same course can secure an elementary certifi- cate class A. Teachers holding elementary certificates class B can raise them to class A. An outstanding teacher of ex- perience will have charge of this department.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
Last year violin was offered in the school for the first time and about a dozen pupils were enrolled. We are glad to announce that this department will be continued.
The piano department will be under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Lindsay, a graduate in Music of N". C. College for Women and is highly endorsed by Professor Wade R- Brown, Director of Music in that institution. She will be assisted by Mrs. E. !N". Meekins, an experienced teacher of piano.
The Cary Band which was organized last year by Mr. R. G. Prince, will be continued this year and Mr. Prince will remain in charge.
Arrangements have been made to have public school music, or sight singing, taught to all the school. Miss Jeannette

Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 31
Cox, a graduate of 1ST. C. College for Women, has been employed for this work and she will give her whole time to it. It will be free to all the pupils.
The school last year bought six new Remington type- writers and arrangements will be made whereby pupils can take typewriting and stenography and get credit for these subjects in at least one course offered in the school. Pro- vision will also be made for giving instruction in art and expression, credit for which will also be allowed.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special sub- jects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. To be able to use a typewriter or to play in a band is frequently the means of a student's paying his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
MISCELLANEOUS
Parents should see to it that their children are present on the opening day. Late entrance is the cause of much dis- couragement and many failures.
Boarding pupils are not allowed to leave Cary without the permission of the Principal in charge.
Parents who find their children spending more money at Cary than is necessary should notify the Superintendent.
No form of hazing is allowed.
jSTo unnecessary communication between the boarding girls and the boys of the school or town is permitted.
Pupils in the dormitories are held responsible for all damage to school property in their rooms.
Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils with about $G.OO to cover cost of books.

FOREWORD
For the twenty-eighth time the Cary High School comes before the public in its annual printed message bidding for a continuance of the patronage which has been so abundantly bestowed upon it in the past.
In all its history the prospects of the school have never been quite so encouraging as now. With another handsome new brick building, costing $15,000, nearing completion; with two large brick dormitories in use, equipped with every modern convenience; with the thirty-three room administra- tion building, also of brick, completed in 1914 and improved from time to time; with a strong faculty of men and women, numbering twenty-five, and each highly trained for his par- ticular work ; with new departments added, bringing the school abreast with the best equipped institutions of the country, there is every reason to believe that the coming year will be the best in the school's history.
This catalogue sets forth, as briefly as possible, the entrance requirements, the course of study, the expenses, the special departments, the general features, some miscel- laneous matters, and at the back a brief history of the growth and development of the school. Scattered through the book are pictures of the buildings, departments, etc., which speak for themselves.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certifi- cate from former teachers showing work that has been done. Blanks for this purpose will be furnished upon application.

This amount will be deducted from the first month's rent. Rooms, however, will not be held longer than September 1, except by request.
All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
All bills unpaid by June 1, following the close of school, will be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school is fortunate in having ample boarding facilities for all the boarding pupils and teachers. In the basement of the main building is a large dining hall capable of seating over two hundred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of eight to a table with a hostess in charge, usually a senior, who sees to it that the rules of table etiquette are observed. From time to time the teachers of domestic sci- ence give talks and demonstrations on table manners. The management of the school believes this to be an important part of an education. Table board is given at actual cost. By buying groceries in large quantities, the price of board has been kept at a very low rate, usually about $15.00 a month.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
TEACHER-TRAINING
This department was new last year, having been tried out at Cary and three other places in the State by the Teacher- training Department at Raleigh. The work at Cary was in charge of an outstanding teacher, and so pronounced was its success that it will be continued, occupying comfort- able quarters in the new vocational building.
By taking this course, a pupil will get the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a certificate to teach. A junior who has completed twelve units of academic work in an accredited high school will, upon the completion of the course, secure an elementary certificate Class B. A grad- uate of an accredited high school, upon completion of the
26
Catalogue
Cary High School 27
course, is granted an elementary certificate Class A. The course covers a period of one school session. Graduates from this department are granted diplomas from the high school as well as the certificate from the State Department at Raleigh and will be admitted to the North Carolina Col- lege for Women or the East Carolina Teachers College, if they decide to go to college.
AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS
These departments, next session, will occupy spacious quarters in the new vocational building. The entire first floor and one large room in the basement, making in all nine rooms, will be devoted to the work of these departments. These rooms will be furnished with the most modern equip- ment for teaching agriculture and home economics and will place the school in the forefront of high schools in the South doing this class of work.
For agriculture, there are two large classrooms provided with individual desks, cabinets, lantern, running water, etc. Between these two is a room which will be used as a combina- tion library, reading room and office. In the basement a large room has been provided for the animal husbandry work and will be equipped with cream separators, testers, incuba- tors, etc. Five rooms will be used by the Home Economics Department as follows : Cooking laboratory, dining room, sewing room, fitting room, and library. The rooms are provided with running water, cabinets, tables, desks, book- cases, cooking stoves and cooking utensils, china, sewing machines, ironing boards, mirrors, etc.
Science being the basic subject for both agriculture and home economics, ample provision has been made in the new building for teaching it by the laboratory method. In addi- tion to the laboratory and lecture room already in use in the main building, four other rooms on the second floor of the new building will be devoted exclusively to science, and an elaborate equipment in desks, cabinets, physical, chem- ical and biological apparatus, etc., with suitable plumbing, has been provided.

Gary High School 29
Three other large rooms on the second floor of this build- ing will be occupied by the teacher-training department, the commercial department, and one of the other special depart- ments of the school. t
MUSIC
The Piano Department has long been one of the promi- nent features of the school. Onlv teachers of recognized musical attainments are employed for this work. A music studio, six practice rooms and seven pianos constitute the equipment.
Violin and band music will be provided for again. The school is fortunate in having a well-organized band with regular instruction given by a recognized band leader.
Teachers have been employed who will give lessons in art and expression to those who desire this sort of instruction.
Public school music has now become an established feature of the school and a trained teacher is employed to give her whole time to it. It is required of all pupils and there is no charge for it.
COMMEECIAL
The work of the Commercial Department has been enlarged so as to include bookkeeping along with typewriting and stenography. A large room in the new building, six Reming- ton typewriters, suitable tables and chairs make up the equipment for this department.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special sub- jects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. To be able to use a typewriter or to play in a band is frequently the means of a student's paying his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
Credit is given toward graduation for work done in these special departments.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
LITEBABY SOCIETIES The school has four literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former member of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killings- worth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives annually a medal for the best debater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Commencement. The boys' societies also give a debaters' medal to the best debater at Commencement. All high school pupils, unless excused by the Superintendent, are required to join one of the societies.
SCHOLABSHIP MEDAL
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholarship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to compete for this medal.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the phys- ical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports of every kind. A baseball diamond, basketball courts, for both boys and girls, tennis courts, and playground appa- ratus, are located on the school campus and are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods. A new athletic field on a neighboring hill has been secured which will be put in shape for football, baseball, basketball and track ath- letics and will be used exclusively by the high school department.

Cary High School 3*3
The school committee gives every encouragement and assistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholarship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guar- dians. The pass mark is 75.
MISCELLANEOUS
Parents should see to it that their children are present on the opening day. Late entrance is the cause of much dis- couragement and many failures.
Boarding pupils are not allowed to leave Cary without the permission of the Principal in charge.
Parents who find their children spending more money at Cary than is necessary should notify the Superintendent.
No form of hazing is allowed.
No unnecessary communication between the boarding girls and the boys of the school or town is permitted.
Pupils in the dormitories are held responsible for all damage to school property in their rooms.
Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils with about $6.00 to cover cost of books.
Unless there is objection from parents, boarding pupils must attend Sunday School and church.
Smoking in any of the school buildings or on the school grounds is prohibited.
SPECIAL NOTES
Last session 263 high school pupils were enrolled and 342 in the elementary school, making a total enrollment of 605. There were 179 boarders from 18 counties. The graduating
34 Catalogue
class numbered 46. Twenty-five teachers were employed to do the work of the school.
The dormitory for girls is of brick and is furnished with neat and attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and containing an oak dresser, an oak wash- stand with fixtures, two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers, and two chairs.
The brick dormitory for boys has practically the same conveniences as the girls' dormitory. Both dormitories are provided with steam heat, electric lights, running water (hot and cold), baths, etc. The boys' dormitory has shower baths.
Summarizing, we wish to stress the following features of the school, several of which are illustrated by cuts in this catalogue: (1) A large and substantial main building with 33 rooms. (2) A new vocational building with 18 rooms. (3) All buildings heated by steam. (4) Running water in all the buildings. (5) Bored well on campus. (6) Spacious classrooms lighted on one side and provided with cabinets built into the walls. (7) Tablet arm chairs for the high school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (8) An auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery and splendid stage and scenery. (9) Laboratories with individual desks, gas, running water, etc. (10) Dormi- tories both for boys and girls — both handsome brick struc- tures, with steam heat, baths, etc. (11) A complete playground equipment for the whole school. (12) An unsurpassed domestic science equipment for high school students. (13) An ample force of trained teachers to do the work of the school.
C. H. S. ECHOES
The Senior Class publishes monthly during the school year a school paper of interest to the former pupils, and to the patrons and friends of the school. The subscription price is 40c a year or 10c a copy. The title of the paper is C. H. S. Echoes. The class also publishes an annual, in book form, which is highly prized by the members.

HISTORY
The Cary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1007, the owners of the property sold their stocl\ to the comity, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907, The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 101-'], by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life in- struction in "Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middle- ton Farm-Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading- high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1806 to 1008, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1008, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equip- ment', with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments constantly being added, and with a corps ot specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1016, was replaced that year by a
36 Catalogue
brick structure at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 31 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old pri- vately owned girls' dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building con- tains 33 rooms and is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.
In the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of . agri- culture, home economics, teacher-training and the commercial subjects. It contains 18 rooms and cost $45,000. This building has been named in honor of Gary's most illus- trious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and will be known officially as the Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training.
This building, with the three other brick buildings on the campus, conrpletes the quadrangle as planned for the school by Professor J. P. Pillsbury, of the K C. State Col- lege of Agriculture and Engineering, in 1916.
Other buildings on the campus are the teacherage, the janitor's home, and the shop. The janitor's home is all that is left of the old high school building that stood on the site of the present main building up to 1913. The teacher- age has been twice moved and has traveled half way around the campus. The shop was built by the students of the agricultural department in 1921 and is equipped with a forge, work benches and a complete set of tools.
Connected with the school, but not on the campus, are a cottage and a barn on a twenty-one acre farm, which the school owns, a quarter of a mile away.
The school campus contains four acres and, according to the last geological survey, is the highest ground in Wake County.
The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $200,000.

Cary High School
FOREWORD
The Cary High School is first and foremost a boarding- school. Two-thirds of its high school pupils come from out- side the local district, many of them from other comities. A boarding school affords numerous advantages over a school purely local. The students generally are the picked repre- sentatives of their communities ; the dormitory life and the mingling of pupils and teachers in the dining hall afford a training even more valuable than that obtained from text- books, while the organized life of the students in the literary societies, Y. M. 0. A., Y. W. C. A., Athletic Clubs, Music- Clubs, Science Clubs, etc., means vastly more to the pupils than in a purely local school. Then, too, pupils fi\ed from home duties and home distractions have far better oppor- tunities for study; and when they have finished the high school, the transition to college life is less abrupt. Many boys and girls need the discipline of dormitory life, to say nothing of correct table and social etiquette.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certifi- cate from former teachers showing work that has been done. Blanks for this purpose will be furnished upon application.

ducted from the first month's rent. Rooms, however, will not be held longer than September 3, except by request.
All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school has ample boarding facilities for all the board- ing pupils and teachers. In the basement of the main build- ing is a large dining hall capable of seating over two hun- dred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of eight to a table with a hostess in charge, usually a senior. From time to time the teachers of domestic science give talks and demonstrations on table manners. The management of the school believes this to be an important part of an education. By buying groceries by wholesale and by economic manage- ment, the school has been able to give very substantial board at $15.00 a month.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
TEACHER-TRAINING
This department in our school has fully met the expecta- tions of the State Department of Education at Raleigh, which established it two years ago, and will be continued next year. The graduates of this department have been very successful in securing good positions to teach. Wake County has pro- vided a very elaborate equipment for the department in our new Vocational Building, and the State requires an outstand- ing teacher for the position.
By taking this course, a pupil gets the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a certificate to teach. A junior who has completed twelve units of academic work in an accredited high school or a graduate of a non-standard high school will, upon the completion of the course, secure an elementary certificate Class B. A graduate of an ac-
26

credited high school, upon completion of the course, is granted an elementary certificate Class A. The course covers a period of nine school months. Graduates from this department are granted diplomas from the high school as well as the cer- tificate from the State Department at Kaleigh and will be admitted to the North Carolina College for Women or the East Carolina Teachers College, if they decide to go to college.
AGBICULTUBE AND HOME ECONOMICS
These departments occupy spacious quarters in the new vocational building. The entire first floor and one large room in the basement, making in all nine rooms, are devoteel to the work of these departments. These rooms are fur- nished with the most modern equipment for teaching agri- culture anel home economics and place the school in the forefront of high schools in the South doing this class of work.
For agriculture, there are two large classrooms provided with individual desks, cabinets, lantern, running water, etc. Between these two is a room which is used as a combina- tion library, reading room and office. In the basement a large room has been provided for the animal husbandry work and is equipped with cream separators, testers, incubators, etc. Five rooms will be used by the Home Economics Depart- ment as follows : Cooking laboratory, dining room, sew- ing room, fitting room and library. The rooms arc provided with running water, cabinets, tables, desks, bookcases, cook- ing stoves and cooking utensils, china, sewing machines, ironing boards, mirrors, etc.
Science being the basic subject for both agriculture and home economics, ample provision was made in the new building for teaching it by the laboratory method. In addi- tion to the laboratory and lecture room already in use in the main building, four other rooms on the second floor of the new building are devoted exclusively to science, and an elaborate equipment in desks, cabinets, physical, chem- ical and biological apparatus, etc., with suitable plumbing, has been provided.
28

Cary High School 29
Three other large rooms on the second floor of this build- ing are occupied by the teacher-training department and the Seventh Grade.
MUSIC
The Piano Department has long been one of the promi- nent features of the school. Only teachers of recognized musical attainments are employed for this work. A music studio, six practice rooms and seven pianos constitute the equipment.
Band music has been provided for. The school is fortun- ate in having a well-organized band with regular instruc- tion given by a recognized band leader. Provision will be made for instruction in violin if pupils desire it.
Teachers have been employed who will give lessons in art and expression to those who desire this sort of instruction.
Public school music has now become an established feature of the school and a trained teacher is employed to give her whole time to it. It is required of all pupils and there is no charge for it.
A gold medal is given annually by Rev. C. H. Xorris to the pupil doing best work in piano for the year.
COMMERCIAL
The work of the Commercial Department includes book- keeping, typewriting and stenography. A large room in the new building, six Remington typewriters, suitable tables and chairs make up the equipment for this department.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special sub- jects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. To be able to use a typewriter or to play in a band is frequently the means of a student's paying his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
Credit is given toward graduation for work done in these special departments.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The school has foui' literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commencement for most improvement during the year. The boys' societies give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former member of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killings- worth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives annually a medal for the best debater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Commencement. The boys' societies also give a debaters' medal to the best debater at Commencement. The school enters each year the State Triangular Debate, the speakers being chosen in a preliminary debate open to all members of the four societies. All high school pupils, unless excused by the Superintendent, are required to join one of the societies. The membership is determined by lot to avoid overcrowding in any one society.
SCHOLARSHIP MEDAL
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholarship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to compete for this medal.
SOCIETY TROPHY
The Faculty during the fall of 1923 provided a beautiful trophy cup to be awarded annually in Xovember to the Clay or Calhoun Society winning in a public debate, with the proviso that the cup shall become the permanent possession of the society winning three out of five debates. The Cal- houns won the first debate.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the phys- ical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful
32
Catalogue
Cary High School 2fd
sports of every kind. A baseball diamond on a neighboring bill besides basketball courts, for both boys and girls, tennis courts, and playground apparatus on the school campus are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The new athletic field has been provided with a fence and a grand stand and is used exclusively by the high school for football, baseball, and track.
Letters are awarded by the Athletic Association to the players meeting certain requirements in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and track.
The school committee gives every encouragement and assistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment, these being the property of the school.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholarship, eleportn:ent, etc., are mailed to parents or guar- dians. The pass mark is 75.
MISCELLANEOUS
Parents should see to it that their children are present on the opening day. Late entrance is the cause of much dis- couragement and many failures.
Boarding pupils are not allowed to leave Cary without the permission of the Principal in charge.
Parents who find their children spending more money at Cary than is necessary should notify the Superintendent.
No form of hazing is allowed.
Wo unnecessary communication between the boarding girls and the boys of the school or town is permitted.
Pupils in the dormitories are held responsible for all damage to school property in their rooms.
Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils with about $6.00 to cover cost of books.
Unless there is objection from parents, boarding pupils are expected to attend Sunday School and church.
Smoking in any of the school buildings or on the school grounds is prohibited.
34 Catalogue
The school operates a moving picture machine. The films are furnished by the State Department of Education and are shown each Thursday night. There are no other movies in Gary.
SPECIAL NOTES
Last session 268 high school pupils were enrolled and 358 in the elementary school, making a total enrollment of 626. There were 175 boarders from 20 comities. The graduating class numbered 47. Twenty-fonr teachers were employed to do the work of the school.
The dormitory for girls is of brick and is furnished with neat and attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and containing an oak dresser, an oak wash- stand with fixtures, two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers, and two chairs.
The brick dormitory for boys has practically the same conveniences as the girls' dormitory. Both dormitories are provided with steam heat, electric lights, running water (hot and cold), baths, etc. The boys' dormitory has shower baths.
Summarizing, we wish to stress the following features of the school, several of which are illustrated by cuts in this catalogue: (1) A large and substantial main building with 33 rooms. (2) A new vocational building with 18 rooms. (3) All buildings heated by steam. (4) Running water in all the buildings. (5) Bored well on campus. (6) Spacious classrooms lighted on one side. (7) Tablet arm chairs for the high school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (8) An auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery and splendid stage and scenery. (9) Laboratories with individual desks, gas, running water, etc. (10) Dormi- tories both for boys and girls — both large brick structures, with steam heat, baths, etc. (11) A complete playground equipment for the whole school. (12) Splendid domestic science equipment. (13) An ample force of trained teachers to do the work of the school.
C. H. S. ECHOES
The Senior Class publishes monthly during the school year a school paper of interest to the former pupils, and to the patrons and friends of the school. The subscription price is
Cary High School So
40c a vear or 10c a copy. The title of the paper is C. H. S. Echoes. The class also publishes an annual, in book form, which is highly prized by the members.
HISTORY
The Cary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In ]907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913, by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life in- struction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middle- ton Farm-Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building;, with s;ood boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equip- ment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments constantly being added, and with a corps ol specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory in this State and South Carolina.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing
36 Catalogue
$33,000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick structure at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 34 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old pri- vately owned girls' dormitory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building con- tains 33 rooms and is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.
In the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of agri- culture, home economics, teacher-training and the commercial subjects. It contains 18 rooms and cost $45,000. This building has been named in honor of Gary's most illus- trious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and will be known officially as the Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training.
This building, with the three other brick buildings on the campus, completes the quadrangle as planned for the school by Professor J. P. Pillsbury, of the 1ST. C. State Col- lege of Agriculture and Engineering, in 1916.
Other buildings on the campus are the teacherage, the janitor's home, and the shop. The janitor's home is all that is left of the old high school building that stood on the site of the present main building up to 1913. The teacher- age has been twice moved and has traveled half way around the campus. The shop was built by the students, of the agricultural department in 1921 and is equipped with a forge, work benches and a complete set of tools.
The school campus contains four acres and, according to the last geological survey, is the highest ground in Wake County.
The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $225,000.

Cary High School
FOREWORD
For the twenty-ninth time the Cary High School presents to the friends of education in general and to its patrons in particular this its annual catalogue in the firm belief that the high standard of excellence reached by the school in the past will be maintained during the session of 1925-1926.
Contrary to the expectation of some people, the school has maintained its place as a boarding school. Large numbers of pupils still come from outside the local district and many from other counties and other states. The school is unusually well equipped for earing for nonresident pupils. With two large brick dormitories, a common boarding hall for both teachers and pupils, with an ample teaching force and adequate physi- cal equipment, the school is abundantly able to care for a large boarding patronage.
A boarding school affords numerous advantages over a school purely local. The students generally are the picked represen- tatives of their communities; the dormitory life and the ming- ling of pupils and teachers in the dining hall afford a training even more valuable than that obtained from textbooks, while the organized life of the students in the literary societies, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., athletic clubs, music clubs, science clubs, etc., means vastly more to the pupils than in a purely local school. Then, too, pupils freed from home duties and home distractions have better opportunities for study ; and when they have finished the high school, the transition to col- lege life is less abrupt. Many boys and girls need the discipline of dormitory life, to say nothing of correct table manners and social etiquette.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certifi- cate from former teachers showing work that has been done. Blanks for this purpose will be furnished upon application.

Eor the remainder of the term there will be a charge for tuition of $5.00 per month in the high school and $3.00 in the elementary school. This charge, which is made by order of the County Board, applies to all High Schools in the county. Pupils in the Teacher-training Department, whether inside or outside the county, are not subject to tuition.
Each pupil in the dormitories should bring the following : Two white counterpanes, four sheets, three pillow cases, two blankets or quilts, one glass, covers for dresser, washstand and table, curtains for window (if desired), towels, comb, brush, soap. Boys will bring pillows also.

All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school has ample boarding facilities for all the board- ing pupils and teachers. In the basement of the main build- ing is a large dining hall capable of seating over two hun- dred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of eight
u
Gary High School 33
to a table with a hostess in charge, usually a senior. From time to time the teachers of domestic science give talks and demonstrations on table manners. The management of the school believes this to be an important part of an education. By buying groceries by wholesale and by economic management, the school has been able to give very substantial board at $15 a month.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
TEACHER-TRAINING
This department in our school has fully met the expecta- tions of the State Department of Education at Raleigh, which established it three years ago, and will be continued next year. The graduates of this department have been very successful in securing good positions to teach. Wake County has pro- vided a very elaborate equipment for the department in our new Vocational Building, and the State requires an outstand- ing teacher for the position.
. By taking this course, a pupil gets the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a certificate to teach. A grad- uate of an accredited high school, upon completion of the course, is granted an elementary certificate Class A. A gradu- ate of a non-standard high school is granted an elementary B certificate. The course covers a period of nine school months. Graduates from this department are granted diplomas from the high school as well as the certificate from the State Department at Raleigh ; and if they wish to continue their education in col- lege, credit is given for the work done in this department.
AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS
These departments occupy spacious quarters in the new vocational building. The entire first floor and one large room in the basement, making in all nine rooms, are devoted to the work of these departments. These rooms are furnished with the most modern equipment for teaching agriculture and home economics and place the school in the forefront of high schools in the South doing this class of work.
Cary High School 35
For agriculture, there are two large classrooms provided with individual desks, eabii>ets, lantern, running water, etc. Between these two is a room which is used as a combination library, reading room and office. In the basement a large room has been provided for the animal husbandry work and is equipped with cream separators, testers, incubators, etc. Five rooms are used by the Home Economics Department as fol- lows : Cooking laboratory, dining room, sewing room, fitting room and library. The rooms are provided with running water, cabinets, tables, desks, bookcases, cooking stoves and cooking- utensils, china, sewing machines, ironing boards, mirrors, etc.
Science being the basic subject for both agriculture and home economics, ample provision was made in the new building for teaching it by the laboratory method. In addition to the laboratory and lecture room already in use in the main build- ing, four other rooms on the second floor of the new building are devoted exclusively to science, and an elaborate equipment in desks, cabinets, physical, chemical and biological apparatus, etc., with suitable plumbing has been provided.
Three other large rooms on the second floor of this building are occupied by the teacher-training department and two grades of the elementary school.
MUSIC
The Piano Department has long been one of the prominent features of the school. Only teachers of recognized musical attainments are employed for this work. A music studio, six practice rooms and seven pianos constitute the equipment.
Band music is available to the pupils in the school at small cost. The town of Cary is fortunate in having a well organized band with regular instruction given by a recognized band leader. Provision will be made for instruction in violin if pupils desire it.
Teachers have been employed who will give lessons in art and expression to those who desire instruction in these subjects.
Public school music has now become an established feature of the school and a trained teacher is employed to give her wdiole time to it. It is required of all pupils and there is no charge for it.

Gary High School 37
A gold medal is given annually by Key. C. H. Norris to the pupil doing best work in piano for the year.
COMMERCIAL
The work of the Commercial Department at present includes only typewriting. Six Remington typewriters and suitable tables and chairs make up the equipment for this department. The touch system, now universally recognized as the most efficient method of operating the keyboard, is used exclusively as a basis of work, and the high standards set in the text, "New Rational Typewriting," are carefully observed.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special subjects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. To be able to use a typewriter or to play in a band is frequently the means of a student's being able to pay his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
Credit is given toward graduation for work done in these special departments.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The school has four literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commence- ment for most improvement during the year. The boys' socie- ties give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, a former member of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies delivering the best oration on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killingsworth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives annually a medal for the best debater in the girls' societies on the occasion of Commencement. The boys' societies also give a debaters' medal to the best debater at Commencement. The school enters each year the State Triangular Debate, the speakers being chosen
Gary High School 39
in a preliminary debate open to all members of the four socie- ties. All high school pupils, unless excused by the Superinten- dent, are required to join one of the societies. The membership is determined by lot to avoid overcrowding in any one society.
SCHOLAESHIP MEDAL
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholar- ship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to compete for this medal.
SOCIETY TEOPHY
The Faculty during the fall of 1923 provided a beautiful trophy cup to be awarded annually in November to the Clay or Calhoun Society winning in a public debate, with the proviso that the cup shall become the permanent possession of the society winning three out of five debates. The Calhouns won the debate in 1923 ; the Clays won in 1924.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports of every kind. A baseball diamond on a neighboring hill besides tennis courts for both boys and girls, and playground apparatus on the school campus are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The new athletic field has been provided with a fence and a grandstand and is used exclusively by the high school for football, baseball, and track.
Letters are awarded by the Athletic Association to the play- ers meeting certain requirements in football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and track.
The school committee gives every encouragement and as- sistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment.

Cary High School 41
NEW GYMNASIUM
During the spring of 1925, a gymnasium was erected on the southwest corner of the campus at a cost of about $12,000. The building is of brick veneer and has ample floor space for basket- ball and the physical training work of the school. The build- ing is provided with dressing rooms, shower baths, spectators' seats, and a shop 25 by 50 feet in the basement for the agricul- tural department of the school. The building has been named in honor of Gary's most distinguished and beloved citizen, Dr. J. M. Templeton, and will be officially known as the Dr. J. M. Templeton Building for Physical Training.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.
MISCELLANEOUS
Parents should see to it that their children are present on the opening day. Late entrance is the cause of much discour- agement and many failures.
Boarding pupils are not allowed to leave Cary without the permission of the Principal in charge.
Parents who find their children spending more money at Cary than is necessary should notify the Superintendent.
No form of hazing is allowed.
No unnecessary communication between the boarding girls and the boys of the school or town is permitted.
Pupils in the dormitories are held responsible for all damage to school property in their rooms. A deposit of $5 is required to cover damage to rooms in the dormitories. This amount is returned to the occupant at the close of the session if the room is left in satisfactory condition.
Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils with about $8 to cover cost of books.
Unless there is objection from parents, boarding pupils are expected to attend Sunday school and church.
42 Catalogue
Smoking in any of the school buildings or on the school grounds is prohibited.
The shool operates a moving picture machine. The films are furnished by the State Department of Education and are shown each Thursday night. There are no other movies in Gary.

Last session 236 high school pupils were enrolled and 402 in the elementary school, making a total enrollment of 638. There were 159 boarders from 26 counties and five states. The graduating class numbered 41. Twenty-seven teachers were employed to do the work of the school.
The dormitory for girls is of brick and is furnished with neat and attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and containing an oak dresser, an oak washstand, two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers, and two chairs.
The brick dormitory for boys has practically the same con- veniences as the girls' dormitory. Both dormitories are pro- vided with steam heat, electric lights, running water (hot and cold), baths, etc. The boys' dormitory has shower baths.
Summarizing, we wish to stress the following features of the school, several of which are illustrated by cuts in this cata- logue: (1) A large and substantial main building with 33 rooms. (2) A handsome vocational building with 18 rooms and splendid equipment. (3) Two brick dormitories, one for girls and one for boys. (4) New gymnasium building. (5) All buildings heated by steam.

C. H. S. ECHOES
The Senior Class publishes monthly during the school year a school paper of interest to the former pupils, and to the patrons and friends of the school. The subscription price is 50c a year or 10c a copy. The title of the paper is C. H. S. Echoes. The class also publishes an annual, in book form, which is highly prized by the meimbers.
HISTORY
The Cary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913 by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Earm-Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its pestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with neAV departments con- stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory.

The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,- 000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1910, was replaced that year by a brick struc- ture at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 34 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the c»re of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormi- tory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building contains 33 rooms and is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.
In the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of agri- culture, home economics, teacher-training and science. It con- tains 18 rooms and cost $45,000. This building has been named in honor of Gary's most illustrious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and is known officially as the Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training.
The most recent building erected on the campus is the gym- nasium, which was completed during the spring of 1925 at a cost of about $12,000. For description of this building, see page 41.
The school campus contains four acres and, according to the last geological survey, is the highest ground in Wake County.
The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $240,000.

Cary High School
FOREWORD
The Cary High School presents to the public this its thirtieth annual catalogue in the belief that the high standard of ex- cellence reached in the past will be fully maintained during the session of 1926-1927. So far the school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, large numbers still coining from outside the local district and many from other counties and states. The school is unusually well equipped for caring for nonresident pupils. With two large brick dormitories, a com- mon boarding hall for both teachers and pupils, with an ample teaching force and adequate physical equipment, the school is abundantly able to care for a large boarding patronage.
A boarding school affords numerous advantages over a school purely local. The boarding students generally are the picked rep- resentatives of their communities ; the dormitory life and the mingling of pupils and teachers in the dining hall afford a training even more valuable than that obtained from textbooks, while the organized life of the students in the literary societies, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A, athletic clubs, music clubs, science clubs, etc., means vastly more to the pupils than in a purely local school. Then, too, pupils freed from home duties and home distractions have better opportunities for study; and when they have finished the high school, the transition to col- lege life is less abrupt. Many boys and girls need the discipline of dormitory life, to say nothing of correct table manners and social etiquette.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certifi- cate from former teachers showing work that has been done.
o

All dues are payable monthly in advance. For absence on account of sickness or other providential cause, deduction is made in tuition and board for a full week of continuous absence. A school month is four weeks or twenty-eight days.
Tuition in the High School Department is free to all pupils living in Wake County, except in special charter districts, for the first six months. For the remainder of the term there will be a charge for tuition of $5.00 per month in the high school and $3.00 in the elementary school. This charge, which is made by order of the County Board of Education, applies to all High Schools in the county. Pupils in the Teacher-training De- partment, whether inside or outside the county, are not subject to tuition.
Each pupil in the dormitories should bring the following : Two white counterpanes, four sheets, three pillow cases, two blankets or quilts, one glass, covers for dresser, washstand and table, curtains for window (if desired), towels, comb, brush, soap. Boys will bring pillows also.
Those desiring rooms reserved in the dormitories must deposit $1.00 to show good faith. This amount will be deducted from the first month's rent. Rooms, however, will not be held longer than September 3, except by request.
All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
Boarding teachers room in the dormitories and pay the same rates as pupils.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school has ample boarding facilities for all the board- ing pupils and teachers. In the basement of the main build- ing is a large dining hall capable of seating over two hun- dred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of eight to a table with a hostess in charge, usually a senior. From time to time the teachers of domestic science give talks and demonstrations on table manners. The management of the school believes these things to be an important part of an education. By buying groceries by wholesale and by economic management, the school has been able to give very substantial board at $15 a month.

SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
TEACHERS-TRAINING
This department in our school has fully met the expecta- tions of the State Department of Education at Raleigh, which established it four years ago, and will be continued next year. The graduates of this department have been very successful in securing good positions to teach. Wake County has pro- vided a very elaborate equipment for the department in our new Vocational Building, and the State requires an outstand- ing teacher for the position.
By taking this course, a pupil gets the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a certificate to teach. A grad- uate of an accredited high school upon completion of the course, is granted an elementary certificate Class A by the State Department of Education. A graduate of a non-standard high school is granted an elementary B certificate. The course covers a period of nine school months. To graduates from this department, credit is given if they wish to continue their educa- tion in college.
AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS
These departments occupy spacious quarters in the new vocational building. The entire first floor and one large room in the basement, making in all nine rooms, are devoted to the work of these departments. These rooms are furnished with the most modern equipment for teaching agriculture and home economics and place the school in the forefront of high schools in the South doing this class of work.
Tor agriculture there are two large classrooms provided with individual desks, running water, lantern, etc., with a supply room adjoining each. Between these is a room which serves as a combination library, reading room and office. In the basement a large room has been provided for the animal husbandry work and is equipped with cream separators, testers, etc. Since the last catalogue was issued, a hatchery with a capacity of over 12,000 eggs has been installed in this room
Cary High School 27
and is owned by the Cary Poultry Association, an organization of farmers in the community, and operated by the teachers and students of agriculture in the school.
Five rooms are used by the Home Economics Department as follows : Cooking laboratory, dining room, sewing room, fitting room and library. The rooms are provided with running water, cabinets, tables, desks, bookcases, cooking stoves and cooking utensils, china, sewing machines, ironing boards, mir- rors, etc.
Science being the basic subject for both agriculture and home economics, ample provision was made in the new building for teaching it by the laboratory method. In addition to the laboratory and lecture room already in use in the main build- ing, four other rooms on the second floor of the new building are devoted exclusively to science, and an elaborate equipment in desks, cabinets, physical, chemical and biological apparatus, etc., with suitable plumbing, has been provided.
Three other large rooms on the second floor of this building are occupied by the teacher-training department and two grades of the elementary school.
MUSIC
The Piano Department has long been one of the prominent features of the school. Only teachers of recognized musical attainments are employed for this work. A music studio, six practice rooms and seven pianos constitute the equipment.
Teachers have been employed who will give lessons in art and expression to those who desire instruction in these subjects.
Public school music has now become an established feature of the school for which a trained teacher is employed. There is no extra charge for it.
A gold medal is given annually by Rev. C. H. Norris to the pupil doing best work in piano for the year.
COMMERCIAL
The work of the Commercial Department at present includes only typewriting. Six Remington typewriters and suitable tables and chairs make up the equipment for this department.
Gary High School 29
The touch system, now universally recognized as the most efficient method of operating 'the keyboard, is used exclusively as a basis of work, and the high standards set in the text, "New Rational Typewriting," are carefully observed.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special subjects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. To be able to use a typewriter is frequently the means of a student's being able to pay his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
Credit is given for work done in these special departments.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
LITERARY SOCIETIES
The school has four literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commence- ment for most improvement during the year. The boys' socie- ties give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, an alumnus of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies making the best speech in debate on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killingsworth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives a similar medal for the best debater in the girls' societies. The school enters each year the State Triangular Debate, the speakers being chosen in a preliminary debate open to all members of the four socie- ties. All high school pupils, unless excused by the Superintend- ent, are required to join one of the societies. The membership is determined by lot to avoid overcrowding in any one society.
SCHOLARSHIP MEDALS
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholarship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to com-
o
Cary High School 31
pete for this medal. Mr. T. Ivey gives a gold medal for the best work in Latin. The Junior Order of Cary gives a medal for highest grade made during the year in the Seventh Grade.
SOCIETY TROPHIES
The Faculty during the fall of 1923 provided a beautiful trophy cup to be awarded annually in November or December to the Clay or Calhoun Society winning in a public debate, with the proviso that the cup shall become the permanent pos- session of the society winning three out of five debates. The Calhouns won the cup in 1923, the Clays in 1924, and the Cal- houns again in 1925.
During the last session, the Parent-Teachers Association provided in similar cup for the girls of the Lowell and Irving Societies. In the first debate in February, 1926, the Irvings won.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports of every kind. A baseball diamond on a neighboring hill besides tennis courts for both boys and girls, and playground apparatus on the school campus are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
The new athletic field has been provided with a fence and a grand stand and is used exclusively by the high school for football, baseball, and track.
Letters are awarded by the Athletic Association to the play- ers meeting certain requirements in football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and track.
The school committee gives every encouragement and as- sistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment.

THE GYMNASIUM
r
During the spring of 1925, a gymnasium was erected on the southwest corner of the campus at a cost of ahout $12,000. The building is of brick veneer and has ample floor space for basket- ball and the physical training work of the school. The build- ing is provided with dressing rooms, shower baths, spectators' seats, and a shop 25 by 50 feet in the basement for the agricul- tural department of the school. The building has been named in honor of Cary's most distinguished and beloved citizen, Dr. J. M. Templeton, and will be officially known as the Dr. J. M. Templeton Building for Physical Training.
EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS
At the end of each quarter, written examinations are given on all work gone over during the quarter and reports of scholar- ship, deportment, etc., are mailed to parents or guardians. The pass mark is 75.
MISCELLANEOUS
Parents should see to it that their children are present on the opening day. Late entrance is the cause of much discour- agement and many failures.

HISTORY
The Cary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Cary High School to the Cary Public High School. In 1913 by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm-Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In 1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent was elected as his successor.
The school has lost none of its prestige as a boarding school, for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con- stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large and growing territory.
Cary High School 39
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,- 000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick struc- ture at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 34 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, laA'atories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormi- tory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a modern brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building contains 33 rooms and is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.
In the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of agri- culture, home economics, teacher-training and science. It eon- tains IS rooms and cost $45,000. This building has been named in honor of Gary's most illustrious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and is known officially as the "Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training.
The most recent building erected on the campus is the gym- nasium, which was completed in the spring of 1925 at a cost of about $12,000. For description of this building, see page 33.
The school campus contains four acres and, according to the last geological survey, is the highest ground in Wake County.
The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $240,000.
The town of Cary has recently installed a water and sewerage system at a cost of $150,000, thus materially enhancing the de- sirability of the town as a place of residence. Electric lights, electric power and telephones have been in use for several years. Recently the Baptist and Methodist denominations of the town have provided themselves with new brick church houses with every modern convenience and fully in keeping with the school buildings described in this catalogue.

FOREWORD
The Cary High School presents to the public this its thirty- first annual catalogue in the belief that the high standard of ex- cellence reached in the past will be fully maintained during the session of 1927-1928. So far the school has maintained its prestige as a boarding school, large numbers still coming from outside the local district and many from other counties and states. The school is unusually well equipped for caring for nonresident pupils. With two large brick dormitories, a com- mon boarding hall for both teachers and pupils, with an ample teaching force and adequate physical equipment, the school is abundantly able to care for a large boarding patronage.
A boarding school affords numerous advantages over a school purely local. The boarding students generally are the picked rep- resentatives of their communities ; the dormitory life and the mingling of pupils and teachers in the dining hall afford a training even more valuable than that obtained from textbooks, while the organized life of the students in the literary societies, athletic clubs, music clubs, science clubs, etc., is of inestima- ble value. Then, too, pupils freed from home duties and home distractions have better opportunities for study; and when they have finished the high school, the transition to col- lege life is less abrupt. Many boys and girls need the discipline of dormitory life, to say nothing of correct table manners and social etiquette.
ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS
County seventh grade graduates are admitted to the high school without examinations. All others must bring certifi- cate from former teachers showing work that has been done.

All clues are payable monthly in advance. For absence on account of sickness or other providential cause, deduction is made in tuition and board for a full week of continuous absence. A school month is four weeks or twenty-eight days.
Tuition in the High School Department is free to all pupils living in Wake County, except in special charter districts, for the first six months. For the remainder of the term there will be a charge for tuition of $5.00 per month in the high school and $3.00 in the elementary school. This charge is made by order of the County Board of Education and applies to all High Schools in the county. Students in the Teacher-training De- partment, whether inside or outside the county, are not subject to tuition.
Each pupil in the dormitories should bring the following : Two white counterpanes, four sheets, three pillow cases, two blankets or quilts, covers for dresser, washstand and table, cur- tains for window (if desired), towels, comb, brush, soap. Boys will bring pillows also.
Those desiring rooms reserved in the dormitories should notify the superintendent as early as possible. Rooms will not be held longer than September 2, except by request.
All boarding pupils must room in the dormitories unless other arrangements are made satisfactory to the committee.
Boarding teachers room in the dormitories and pay the same rates as pupils.
THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT
The school has ample boarding facilities for all the board- ing pupils and teachers. The dining hall is in the basement of the main building and is capable of seating about two hun- dred people. Here the pupils are seated in groups of eight to a table with a hostess in charge, usually a senior. From time to time the teachers of domestic science give talks and demonstrations on table manners. The management of the school believes these things to be an important part of an education.
SPECIAL DEPARTMENTS
TEACHER-TRAINING
This department in our school has fully met the expecta- tions of the State Department of Education at Raleigh, which established it five years ago, and will be continued next year. The graduates of this department have been very successful in securing good positions to teach. "Wake County has pro- vided a very elaborate equipment for the department in our Vocational Building, and the State requires an oustand- ing teacher for the position.
By taking this course, a student gets the equivalent of a year of college work toward securing a certificate to teach. A grad- uate of an accredited high school upon completion of the course, is granted an elementary certificate Class A by the State Department of Education. A graduate of a non-standard high school is granted an elementary B certificate. The course covers a period of nine school months. To graduates from this department, credit is given if they wish to continue their educa- tion in college.
AGRICULTURE AND HOME ECONOMICS
These departments occupy spacious quarters in the Voca- tional Building. The entire first floor and one large room in the basement, making in all nine rooms, are devoted to the work of these departments. These rooms are furnished with the most modern equipment for teaching agriculture and home economics and place the school in the forefront of high schools in the South doing this class of work.
Eor agriculture there are two classrooms provided with in- dividual desks, running water, lantern, etc., with a supply room adjoining each. Between these is a room which serves as a combination library, reading room and office. In the basement a large room has been provided for the animal husbandry work and is equipped with cream separators, testers, etc. A hatchery with a capacity of over 12,000 eggs has been installed in this room and is owned by the Gary Poultry Association, an organ-
Cary High School 27
ization of farmers in the community, and operated by the teachers and students of agriculture in the school. Another hatchery of 9,000 capacity will be installed for next season.
Five rooms are used by the Home Economics Department as follows : Cooking laboratory, dining room, sewing room, fitting room and library. The rooms are provided with running water, cabinets, tables, desks, bookcases, cooking stoves and cooking utensils, china, sewing machines, ironing boards, mir- rors, etc.
Science being the basic subject for both agriculture and home economics, ample provision was made in the Vocational Building for teaching it by the laboratory method. In addition to the laboratory and lecture room already in use in the main building, four other rooms on the second floor of this building are devoted exclusively to science, and an elaborate equipment in desks, cabinets, physical, chemical and biological apparatus, etc., with suitable plumbing, has been provided.
The teacher training department is housed in this building on the second floor.
MUSIC
The Piano Department has long been one of the prominent features of the school. Only teachers of recognized musical attainments are employed for this work. A music studio, six practice rooms and seven pianos constitute the equipment.
A teacher has been employed who will give lessons in expres- sion to those who desire instruction in this subject. Also ar- rangements have been made to have violin taught again next session.
Public school music has now become an established feature of the school for which a trained teacher is employed. There is no extra charge for it.
A gold medal is given annually by Rev. C. H. !N"orris to the pupil doing best work in piano for the year.
COMMERCIAL
The work of the Commercial Department last year included only typewriting. The school is planning to add stenography and probably bookkeeping next session. Six Remington type-
o

writers and suitable tables and chairs make up the equipment for this department.
The average high school pupil can find time, in addition to his regular course, to take at least one of the special subjects outlined above, and a very bright pupil might take more than one. Ability to use a typewriter has frequently been the means by which a student has paid his way through college. Every girl ought to learn to play the piano and to sing, and every boy ought to learn to play some kind of musical instrument as well as to sing.
Credit is given for work done in these special departments.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
LITERAEY SOCIETIES
The school has four literary societies, two for boys and two for girls. The girls meet Thursday afternoons and the boys on Monday nights. Each society gives a medal at Commence- ment for most improvement during the year. The boys' socie- ties give jointly a medal for the best declamation and the girls' societies one for the best recitation. Mr. H. P. Smith, an alumnus of the school, gives annually a medal to the member of the boys' societies making the best speech in debate on the occasion of Commencement. Miss Lillian Killingsworth, formerly Lady Principal of the school, gives a similar medal for the best debater in the girls' societies. The school enters each year the State Triangular Debate, the speakers being chosen in a preliminary debate open to all members of the four socie- ties. All high school pupils, unless excused by the Superintend- ent, are required to join one of the societies. The membership is determined by lot to avoid overcrowding in any one society.
SCHOLAESHIP MEDALS
Besides those mentioned above, a medal is given annually by the Superintendent for the highest average grade in scholarship for the year. Any pupil in the high school is eligible to com- pete for this medal. Mr. T. Ivey gives a gold medal for the best work in Latin. The Junior Order of Cary gives a medal for highest grade made during the year in the Seventh Grade.

SOCIETY TROPHIES
The Faculty during the fall of 1923 provided a beautiful trophy cup to be awarded annually in November or December to the Clay or Calhoun Society winning in a public debate, with the proviso that the cup shall become the permanent pos- session of the society winning three out of five debates. The Calhouns Avon the cup in 1923, the Clays in 1924, the Cal- houns in 1925, and the Clays in 1926.
In 1925, the Parent-Teacher Association provided a similar cup for the girls of the Lowell and Irving Societies. In the first debate in February, 1926, the Irvings won. They also won again in 1927.
ATHLETICS
Believing strongly in the proper development of the physical powers of the boy or girl along with the mental and moral, the school has made ample provision for healthful sports of every kind. A baseball diamond, tennis courts and basketball courts for both boys and girls, and playground apparatus on the school campus and in the gymnasium are amply sufficient to keep all the pupils occupied with some sort of healthful exercise at recreation periods.
Letters are awarded by the Athletic Association to the play- ers meeting certain requirements in football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and track.
The school committee gives every encouragement and as- sistance to the various forms of athletics, providing the teams with uniforms and other equipment.
THE GYMNASIUM
During the spring of 1925, a gymnasium was erected on the southwest corner of the campus at a cost of about $12,000. The building is of brick veneer and has ample floor space for basket- ball and the physical training work of the school. The build- ing is provided with dressing rooms, shower baths, spectators' seats, and a shop 25 by 50 feet in the basement for the de- partment of agriculture. The building has been named in honor of Cary's most distinguished and beloved citizen, Dr. J. M. Templeton, and is officially known as the Dr. J. M. Templeton Building for Physical Education.

HISTORY
The Gary High School had its origin back in the last century and was owned and controlled by a stock company. In 1907, the owners of the property sold their stock to the county, and the school was converted into a State high school, the first to be established under the high school law of 1907. The official name was changed from the Gary High School to the Gary Public High School. In 1913 by special act of the legislature, providing for farm-life instruction in Wake County, there were added to the school the departments of agriculture and domestic science, the name of the school being changed from the Cary Public High School to the Cary Public High School and the E. L. Middleton Farm-Life School.
The old Cary High School ranked as one of the leading high schools of the State in its day. With a large two-story wooden building, with good boarding facilities in dormitories and in the homes of the citizens of Cary, the school drew patronage from a large section of the State.
Among the first teachers of the school were A. H. Merritt, Rev. Solomon Pool, W. L. Crocker, Rev. Jesse Page, and the Misses Jones. For twelve years from 1896 to 1908, the school was under the management of E. L. Middleton. In
Gary High School 37
1908, Mr. Middleton resigned to enter a different field of work, and the present Superintendent was elected as his successor.
The school has maintained its prestige as a hoarding school for with new buildings, new and up-to-date equipment, with dormitories both for boys and girls, with new departments con- stantly being added, and with a corps of specially trained and experienced teachers, the school still draws patronage from a large territory.
The old two-story wooden building which the school had outgrown was replaced in 1913-14 by a new and thoroughly modern brick structure with thirty-three rooms, costing $33,- 000. The old dormitory building for boys which was burned in the spring of 1916, was replaced that year by a brick struc- ture at a cost of about $13,000. The building contains 31 rooms, being provided with steam heat, electric lights, baths, lavatories, etc., and is now occupied by the girls under the care of the Lady Principal. The old privately owned girls' dormi- tory, which had been occupied by the boys since 1916, was burned in the fall of 1918. In 1919-20 there was erected on the campus a brick dormitory for the boys, practically a duplicate of the girls' dormitory, at a cost of about $28,000. This building contains 33 rooms and is provided with steam heat, electric lights, single beds, shower baths, etc.
In the summer of 1923, another two-story brick building was erected to provide rooms for the departments of agri- culture, home economics, teacher-training and science. It con- tains 18 rooms and cost $45,000. This building has been named in honor of Cary's most illustrious citizen, the late Walter Hines Page, and is known officially as the Walter Hines Page Building for Vocational Training.
In the spring of 1925 a gymnasium was erected on the campus at a cost of about $12,000. For description of ibis building, see page 31.
In March, 1927, the school took another forward step by voting consolidation with several districts lying along the Sea- board Air Line and Southern Railway and extending from Raleigh to the Durham County line. Another brick building, the sixth since 1913, is now under construction and will be
Cary High School 39
ready for use in the fall of this year. This building will con- tain twelve rooms and will be used exclusively by the elementary school. The building will cost something over $31,000.
The school campus contains four acres and, according to the last geological survey, is the highest ground in Wake County.
The entire school plant at the present time is estimated to be worth $275,000.
The town of Cary in 1926 installed a water and sewerage system at a cost of $150,000, thus materially enhancing the de- sirability of the town as a place of residence. Electric lights, electric power and telephones have been in use for several years. Recently the Baptist and Methodist denominations of the town have provided themselves with new brick church houses with every modern convenience and fully in keeping with the school
buildings described in this catalogue.
Note. Cary High School is accredited by the State De- partment of Education, and the elementary department has been standardized in accordance with the requirements ol the State Department of Elementary Supervision.
