Cary High School 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. ^ DEPARTMENT ^ CLA55 RDLL I i Alma Brooks I ^ Alma Partin Reba IAIomblE.
