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.

Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 23

SPECIAL NOTES

Last session 148 high school pupils were enrolled. There were 106
boarders from 14 counties. The graduating class numbered 32. the
largest class in the history of the^school.

An experiment in students' government was tried in the boys'
dormitory last session with most gratifying results. Under this
plan, the students elect their own officers and formulate the rules by
which they are governed under the Principal's direction.

During the vacation shower baths for the boys will be installed in
the basement of the main building. Dressing rooms and lockers
will also be provided for their use.

The new dormitory for girls will be furnished with neat and
attractive furniture, each room being provided with a closet and
containing an oak dresser, a white enameled wash stand with fixtures,
two single beds with felt mattresses, a table with double drawers,
and two chairs.

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

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

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,

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 x and
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 tweh T e 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-

10 Gary Public High School and Farm Life School.

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. T he 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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Cary High School Creed or Code of Honor

(Adopted from the laws of the Boy Scouts of America.)

1. The Cary High School students are Trustworthy. Their
honor is to be trusted. If they were to violate their honor by
telling a lie, or by cheating, or not .doing exactly a task given,
when trusted on their honor, they are not C. H. S. students.

2. The Cary students are Loyal. They are loyal to all to
whom loyalty is due — their teachers, their home, their parents,
their country.

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.

6. The Cary students are cheerful. They smile whenever
they can. They enjoy fun and play. Their obedience to orders
is prompt and cheerful. The harder the task the gladder their
hearts !

Cary Public High School and Farm Life School 31

7. The Cary students are Thrifty. They do not destroy
property. They work faithfully, waste nothing. They make
the best use of opportunities. They do not spend their money
foolishly.

8. The Cary students are Brave. They have the courage
to face danger in spite of fear. They stand up for what is
right even if coaxed by friends or jeered at by opponents. De-
feat does not down any student.

9. The Cary students are Clean. Each keeps clean in body
and thought, stands for clean speech, clean sport, clean habits,
and goes with a clean crowd.

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.

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 w T ell 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-

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 girls 1 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 1 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

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

THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT

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

Catalogue

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.

32 Catalogue

SPECIAL NOTES

Last session 237 high school pupils were enrolled and 296
in the elementary school making a total enrollment of 533.
There were 186 boarders from 14 counties. The graduating
class numbered 50. Twenty-four teachers were employed to
do the work of the school, of whom seven were men.

The dormitory for girls is furnished with neat and attrac-
tive 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 new brick dormitory for boys has practically the same
conveniences 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 ven-
tilating system. (3) Running water in the buildings. (4)
Bored well on 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, gas,
running water, etc. (9) Dormitories both for boys and
girls — both handsome brick structures, with steam heat,
baths, etc. (10) A complete playground equipment for the
whole school. (11) An unsurpassed domestic science equip-
ment for high school students. (12) An ample force of
trained teachers to do the work of the school.

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.

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

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.

Catalogue

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.

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.

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.

property of the school.

EXAMINATIONS AND REPORTS

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

Catalogue

Cary High School 27

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.

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.

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

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

Catalogue

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.

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.

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

school Avork for entrance, only pupils who do not expect to
go to college or who contemplate entering non-standard in-
stitutions should take courses leading to certificates of gradu-
ation. All are urged to take one of the complete courses leading
to diplomas.

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. 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.

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.

THE BOARDING DEPARTMENT

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.

SPECIAL NOTES

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. (6) Running water in all the
buildings. (7) Bored well on campus. (8) Spacious class-
rooms lighted on one side. (9) Tablet arm chairs for the high
school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (10) An
auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery
and splendid stage and scenery. (11) Laboratories with indi-
vidual desks, gas, running water, etc. (12) A complete play-
ground equipment for the whole school. (13) Splendid domes-
tic science equipment. (14) An ample force of trained teachers
to do the work of the school. (15) All the special departments
to be found in the large city schools.

Cary High School 13

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.

44 Catalogue

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.

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.

COURSES OF STUDY

To receive a diploma of graduation a pupil must have com-
pleted sixteen units of work as outlined below :

In the above all subjects are given five times a week. All
sciences have three class periods and two laboratory periods,
while agriculture and home economics classes have five labora-
tory periods per week. All class periods are 45 minutes and
all laboratory periods are 90 minutes each. A unit's credit is
allowed for a year's work in each subject listed above except
that a year in agriculture counts for a unit and a half. A half
unit is allowed for a year in music, expression, art, typewriting
or physical training.

Cicero and Virgil are offered to those who wish them or need
them for college entrance.

Although plane geometry is elective, it must be taken by pupils
who expect to enter college. Of the six units of foreign lan-
guage offered, at least four are needed for college entrance.

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.

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

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.

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

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-

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

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.

Cary High School 33

THE GYMNASIUM

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.

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.

]NTo form of hazing is allowed.

No unnecessary communication between the boarding girls
and the boys of the school or town is permitted.

Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils
with about $8 to cover cost of books.

Boarding pupils are expected to attend Sunday school and
church.

Cary High School 35

Smoking in any of the school buildings or on the school
grounds is prohibited.

The school owns a moving picture machine, and occasionally
films furnished by the State Department of Education and
having an educational value are shown in the school auditorium.

SPECIAL NOTES

Last session 243 high school pupils were enrolled and 470
in the elementary school, making a total of 713. There were
162 boarders from 28 counties and three states. The graduating
class numbered 57, including the 11 graduates from the Teacher-
training Department. Twenty-nine 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.

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 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. (6) Running water in all the
buildings. (7) Bored well on campus. (8) Spacious class-
rooms lighted on one side. (9) Tablet arm chairs for the high
school and individual lockers for books, tablets, etc. (10) An
auditorium that will seat eight hundred or more, with a gallery
and splendid stage and scenery. (11) Laboratories with indi-
vidual desks, gas, running water, etc. (12) Splendid domes-
tic science equipment. (13) An ample force of trained teachers
to do the work of the school. (14) All the special departments
to be found in the large city schools.

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 members.

HISTORY

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.

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

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-

Cary High School 29

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.

Cary High School 31

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.

Cary High School 33

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.

jSTo unnecessary communication between the boarding girls
and the boys of the school or town is permitted.

Do not request that books be charged, but furnish pupils
with about $8 to cover cost of books.

Boarding pupils are expected to attend Sunday school and
church.

Smoking in any of the school buildings or on the school
grounds is prohibited.

The school owns a moving picture machine, and occasionally
films furnished by the State Department of Education and
having an educational value are shown in the school auditorium.

THE DOEMITOEIES

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.

Gary High School 35

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. 8.
Echoes. The class also publishes an annual, in book form,
which is highly prized by the members.

A few copies of the 1927 Annual are still on hand and can be
had at the regular subscription price of $3.25.

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.

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.
