THE SCHOOL HAS
SPLENDID CLOSING
Commencement Exercises Bring Out
Big Crowd. Professors Williams
and Noble Speak
2lO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Chapel Hill school ended its
three-day closing program with the
commencement exercises in the
school auditorium Monday night.
The celebration served to emphasize
the remarkable growth of the in
stitution in the last few years. Fred
w. Morrison, the principal, announ-
ced that the high school enrolment
had now for the first time passed 200,
the. exact number of students this

osophy in the University, and M. c..
S. Noble, dean of the school of edu-
cation, were the chief speakers. For
his commencement address Mr.. Will
liams took the theme "The Wise
Life. The he main main point he sought to
drive home to his hearers was that
the highest success in life was won
by the pursuit of education and re-
-ligion and by the proper adaptation
of one to the other. Mr.. Noble, pre-
senting the diplomas to the members
of the graduating class, revealed
once more the informal, witty vein
for which he has become famous.
Mr.. Morrison proclaimed the good
news that Mrs. Mcintosh had raised
$3.50 toward the loan fund for needy
high school students. Through this
fund, which is expected to grow
steadily, students who would other
wise have to quit school, will be
enabled to continue their education.

of the graduating class who received
their diplomas were:
Lester Gordon Dorset, Mary Eth
ylene Fowler, Floyd Gooch, Annie
Hogan, Ashley Curtis Justice, John
Patterson Latta, James Webb Nc
liver, Andrew Campbell Mcintosh,
James Eric Merritt, Carolina Davis
Price, Gilbert Whitted Ray, Walter
Dallam Toy, Jr., Margaret Louise
Webb, Lucy Jeanette Whitfield,
Winslow Edward Williams.

down on the program for having per-
feet attendance:

Ray; grade 6, Ruth HOcutt; grade
z, Thomas Raney and Lucille Hogan;

10, Estelle Lawson; grade II, Eric
Merritt.
The chief marshal was Louise
Mann, and the other marshals were
Margaret Squires, Sandy Crabtree,
Paul Cheek, and Rosalie Thrall.
Floyd Gooch was president of the
senior class, jeanette Whitfield, vice
president, Annie Hogan secretary,
and James McIver treasurer.
At the classday exercises Satur-
day Andrew Mcintosh delivered the
salutatory address, Pauline Burch
was statistician, John Latta was
historian, and Joseph Wiggs made
the class prophecy. Floyd Gooch
made the valedictory speech. The

FOX HUNT FEVER
5 HITS CHAPEL HILL
Crowd in Automobiles Listened to
Furious Baying Of The Hounds
Last Friday Night
1T WAS RARE MUSICAL TREAT

ii WAO NANE MUSlCAL IkEAl
Bob Neville has got another
fox from eastern North Caro-
lima, and there is going to be
hunt in few days. The stran
ger is four years old and is a.
more Nicious-looking animal
than the one the hounds chased
last Erideay night 4if iii ttte the
country to the north of Chapel
Hill. He has a sore foot, but
Mr.. Neville is treating it with
phenol and expects it to be en-
tirely well in a few days.
The Durham Chapel Hill Fox
Hunting Club has been organ
lied with great enthusiasm.
The president of it is George
Wynn, the Durham undertaken;
Miss Aida Hogan is secretary,
and the committee charged with
the duty of drafting the con-
stitution and by laws is made
up of Bob Neville, J. r. Tun-
mage, and Graham Thompson.
Last Fridays event was some
thing unprecedented in Chapel
Hills history. The news of the
chase had got abroad, and soon
after supper scores of automo-
biles were choking the Hills
boro road. There must have
been 200 people present.
The fox was let loose at at z 20 30
P. NJ. about four miles from
town and took off across the
fields. Twenty-Five hounds
were held in leash for one hour
and 20 minutes. At half past
eight they were set free. They
made a tremendous din.
Now, anybody who imagnes
that fox-hunting as practiced
here is the English brand of
sport, with equestrians in red
coats riding furiously after the
hounds, has something to learn.
Ours is not an exercise in
horsemanship, but a musical
treat. You sit in your automo-
bile, or on a grassy bank by the
roadside, and listen to the
hounds.
In your imagination you are
following the fox, and you get
all the excitement without any
of the physical exertion. 1t is
something like listening to a
telegraphic report of a Carolina
Virginia football game, the bay
ing Of the hounds corresponding
to the recurring arrival of des-
patches. A trained fox-hunt
fan knows every tone and in
Election of a hounds voice. He
can figure out not only when the
dogs lose the scent and when
they pick it up again, but even
how close the leading hound is
to the prey.
On this occasion, the fox went
straight for University station,
perhaps hoping to flag . train
there and make q sure getaway.
But he changed ls mind
doubled back, and came directly
toward where the enthusiastic
huntsmen sat in their automo-
biIes. When the hounds over
took him he was Ouly . few
hundred yards from where hs

Conference on Stounachs


In the afternoon of q June
day five men are grouped on
the sidewalk in front of Jack
Sparrow's smoke-shop. They
are:
r. D. w. Connor, professor
in the University.
Ernest Graves, former Chapel
lillian and now a retired Army
officer,
Thomas j. Wilson, registrar
of the University.
Charles T. Woollen, business
manager of the University.
A village newspaper editor.
They are discussing stomachs.
AS they stand in a circle, each
looks appraisingly at the CEN
trail section of each of the 9TH
ers.
Messrs Connor and Wilson ard
Major Graves have full-grown
stomachs; Mr.. Woollen has an
ambitious Stomach: the village
newspaper editor has an incip-
lent stomach.
when a man gets to be forty
he is going to have a stomach"
says Mr.. Connor. ''That's all
there is to it, and he might as
we'll be resigned to the fact"
"Pot, you seem to have been
cutting yours down." remarks
the registrar, addressing the
major by his old-time nick
name. X .
GIVE trained down from 235
to 2OOa," replies the major.
Did it by starving. Cup of
coffee, half a grape fruit, piece
of dry toast for breakfast, no
lunch at all, dinner next to
nothing. I'm waiting for the
three-quarters of a pound to
come off. When I get down to
200 | begin eating; then l go
up, and when / reach 230 or
235 l starve myself again.
That's the way it goes"
He gathers the front of his
coat together in both hands to
show how loose it is on him.
"What was that you said,
Bob," asks the editor uneasily,
turning to MIR. Connor, "about
surely having a stomach when
you are forty? My fortieth
birthday comes month after
next. Am I going to expand
then, all of a sudden"
Certainly you WILL" says
the historian. cts the law of
nature. Besides" - he fixes
his gaze on the others belt
don't you realize that you've
already got a good start?"
"T've been trying to persuade
myself l was going to escape
it," answers the editor sadly.
After the five have discussed
the subject of stomachs a while
longer, they all seem to be sat
isfied to embrace the fatalistic
philosophy of Mr.. Connor. And
so, as their duties and pleasures
call them to different parts of
the village, they dispense hap

Chapel Hill Cha8

It is a curious feeling you
have when your old home is
torn in pieces and you see the
pieces being towed this way
and that. In all the years af-
ter I quit living in the house
near the west campus gate the
sight of it stirred no emotion
within me-until the wreckers
began on it the other day IN
separation Tor the new Caro-
lima Inn. This made be grow
suddenly sentimental about the
place, and memories Of my
childhood came rushing back.
One of the persons ! recall
most wildly, in connection with
that period, is Tobe Connor,
now a prominer.. member Of the
legislature. A great sport then
with upper elassmen was
"whistling freshmen"-that is,
making freshmen keep step to
a certain cadence reserved for
this purpose only. Tobe, as
he approached the house for
meals, was a favorite victim
for the crowd gathered on the
porch. I was a skinny brat of
ten or eleven, and / remember
that once, when l happened to
be all alone in front of the house
and Tobe came up the walk, I
''whistled" him. Now, this
was not my function-it was an
upper-classmen's prerogative.
When Tobe reached the porch
he turned me on my stomach and
gave me a vigorous spanking.
The vigor of it was what makes
it still so clear in my memory.
At very early age l used to
wander off the lot, against or
ders, in quest of cigarette pic
lures. Every package of Gig
arettes in those days bore a
gaudy-colored picture a base
ball hero, an actor or actress, a
jockey, a pugilist, or maybe a
statesman or general-and the
youth of the village competed
in collecting them. Of course
my errand took me to the cam
pus, and there I found my chief
benefactor in the presence of
Pete Murphy, whose room, as l
remember it, was on the first
floor of the South building. He
used to save all his pictures for
me, and l loved him accordingly.
remember the time my
brother Ernest digged h pit
and Mr.. Alderman-then pres
ident of the University and hv-
ing at our house-fell in. The
way it happened was this:
Bicyclists leaving the place had
always had to dismount at the
front gate, because there were
several stone steps to descend.
Ernest undertook to smooth
the way around by the road
used for vehicles, so that the
hicycIe trip hoSn the house to
the town or campus could be
made without interruption. He
filed the ruts and tamped the
soil down, and the job was an
nounced complete. The presi-
dent Of the University came
swinging around the turn from
tine hack yard. But he had not
foreseen how steep the Slope
wa, and before he knew Whist
lad happened he was pllnging

CANNOT USE ARMY ID ENFORCE lSTK
Secretary Weeks Vigorously Op'
 posed to Any Such Plan

Washington. June .s.-Flat oppo. si'ion to any project for using inc army to aid in prohibition enforce. ment work wns voiced here today by Secretary Weeks speaking at the graduation exercises ai the army war college.
 "l cannot believe" he said. that persons who advocate unusual em- nloyment for the army such as rn. forcement of prohibition have given serious thought 10 the possible con- sequences Of such practice"
 The war secretary said he was "op. posed to the use of the army for en- forcement of civil laws unless all civil police power shall have been exhaust ed and there results that state of in snrrect:on and rebellion" which feder- al law provides shall alone justify the use of troops in affording the protec- ton guaranteed to the state govern ments by the constitution"
 Tn 1878" he said, congress with a full knowledge Of the dangers and abuses which had arisen as q result of the use of the army in augmenta- ton of the civil police power saw fit to pass the act forbidding participa- ton of even single member of the military establishment in d posse com mutas." The reasons for that legisla- ton appear to me now to be as sound as when enacted"
 Mir. Weeks position was stated in- cidentaly to his plea to the graduat- ing officers who have successfully completed the final state of their mili- tary education and been recorded as eligible for high commands and gem eral staff duty to see that the regular army hereafter takes larger share in the civil life of the country.
 Tt is both logical and desirable that there should be complete under standing and cooperation between our citizens and those who are immedi- ately responsible for making plans for our defense" Secretary Weeks said. The war department recognizes the great possibilities which the army possesses for rendering public service of broad character
 Graduates Of the army war college have had unusual opportunities to gain this broad conception of service, You are men with proven capabilities in the military profession, You have succe ssfully commanded troops where such success was dependent upon con
