na! Broad thy rivers, bright and clear;Majestic are thy mountains: Dense thy forests, dark and drear;Grows the pine tree, tall and stately: Weeps the willow, drooping low;Bloom the eglantine and jasmine: Nods the daisy, white as snow. Chorus : Let me live in Carolina Till lifes toil and strife are past!Let me sleep in Carolina When my sun shall set at last!Where the mocking-bird is singing—Where my heart is fondly clinging— I would sleep when life is oer Sweetly on the old home shore. I love thee, Carolina! Peace and plenty there abide.How bountiful thy harvest Gathers in at autumn tide.Fair thy fields, where grows the cotton— Light and fleecy, soft and white—And the golden wheat it ripples Like a sea of amber light. I love thee, Carolina I Land of story and of song;Of patriot and hero— How their deeds to memry throng!Great in peace and great in battle: Heart of fire, to love or hate;Brightest star of all the Union Is the glorious Old North State. Bettie Freshwater Poole. 61

Jfootball THLETICS this year in the EHzabeth City High School has byno means been what we had hoped it would be. To begin with,football has amounted to practically nothing. On the openingday of school, September 19, 1921, Coach Meekins called forfootball practice. The team had been practicing two weeks prior to the openingof school. On that day a popular member of our Senior Class, William Prich-ard, was fatally wounded and later died. He had much courage and deter-mination, and his good spirits always kept up the morale of our team. Thistragic accident put a ban on football for the remainder of the season. Hadthis accident not occurred, our High School, without a doubt, would have hadthe best team ever produced in its history. Both Messrs. Flora and Holmes,who have previously acted as coaches, would have been on hand to see thatour team went over the top. However, we hope that no such sad accidentwill happen again, and that the future football teams of this school will be assuccessfu
