LAURA GLADYS FISHER Entered ’23, Tar Heel Society ’24, Monitor of Tar Heel Society, Glee Club ’25, Cannon Society ’25, Athletic Association ’25. Concord, N. C., Feb. 9, 1935. Dear Gladys : Tonight I am thinking of the good times we had while in school. Do you remember our Halloween party ? I wonder what you are doing now. I heard you were teaching school at Greensboro. Why don’t you write and tell me all about yourself ? Sincerely your friend, -Ophelia. SADIE ELMA HARRIS San Diego, California, Jan. 25, 1935. Dear Sadie : I was looking through the “Kannapolis Star” this morning an item caught my eye. It read : “Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Harris wishes to announce the marriage of their daughter, Sadie Elma, to Lester Engene Funderburk, on January the eighth, nineteen hundred and twenty-nine.” I wish you a prosperous and happy life together. Your old friend, Virginia. LESTER EUGENE FUNDERBURK Entered ’20, Treasurer Athletic Asso- ciation ’25, Varsity Foot Ball ’25, Hi-Y ’22, ’23, Base Ball ’25, Pioneer Business Manager ’25. New York City, Jan. 2 1935. Dear Brix : It has been ten years since we were class mates in K. H. S. I can remember when you played center with the K.H.S. football team. You certainly did your part and always won the day. I was very glad indeed to learn that you have finished your law course and had started to practice. I am sure you will be successful. Your friend, Clarence. JANIE CELIA HARRIS Tar Heel Society ’22, ’23, Carolinean Society ’24, Philomathean Society ’25, Athletic Association ’25. Kannapolis, N. C., Jan. 8, 1935. Dear Janie: It has been a long time since I heard you speak of wanting to be a nurse. It only seems yesterday since I bade you bood-bye as you started away to enter training at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and now you are Head Nurse. Are you as “saucy” as ever ? I can remem- ber the day you cried about being the “sauciest” one of the class. Never the less your saucy ways have won for you many friends in old K. H. S. and I hope it will serve you on through life. Your friend, Idell. Fifteen

C. t Jan. 15, 1935. Dear Emma : It has been a long time since I have heard from you. I still think of our school days at K. H S. and the good times we had there. Do you remember that line you wrote in my memory book ? I often turn back and read it. I am so glad you have kept up your sing- ing. I knew that some day you would succeed. s Here’s hoping that you will keep up your :ccess. Your school mate, Margaret.

Y., May 9, 1935. Dear Kat : No one would think that ten years had passed since we were in the Senior Class. I recall all of the good times we had at dear old K. H. S. When we gave plays, parties and went to “weinie roasts.” I was so glad to hear of your success as a dancer and wish you the very best of luck as you start on your tour to Europe. Lovingly yours, “Pike.” WILLIAM DAVIS IDELL CONNELL Tar Heel Society ’23, ’24, Cannon Society ’25, Monitor Cannon Society ’25, Glee Club ’24. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 8, 1935. Dear Idell : Just think it has been over ten years since I saw you, but as I sit here and read a book of poems you have written it brings ba ck memories of our school days in K. H. S. Do you remember the poem we had to write about the “Snow?” Then we thought Eng- lish, Geometry and Physics hard, but they were easy to what we have now. I wish you the greatest of success in the future. Your friend. Janie. Vice President Hi-Y ’24, Member of Aycock Literary Society ' 24, ’25, Sen- ior Class Vice President ’25.

Dear William: As I glance back over the space of time since we were members of the Senior Class of ’25 in K. H. S. it seems as a dream. Do you remember the day when you and I laid out of school and went boat riding ? I wish I had some of the old times to go over again and to be with my school mates once more. I am more than glad to know that you have invented perpetual motion. 1 highly congratulate you upon your success. Your old school mate. Coy Beaver. Fourteen

ALICE GERTRUDE McKINLEY Critic Tar Heel Society, Second Term ’24, Vice President Philomathean So- ciety ’25, Athletic Association ’25, Varsity Basket Ball ’22, ’24, ’25, Manager Foot Ball Team ’25, Glee Club ’25, President Philomathean So- ciety ’25. Kannapolis, N. C., Jan. 5, 1935. Dear Alice: I shall never forget when you played basket ball, and when I used to tell you that some day you would be a good athletic director. You always were willing to do all you could for old K. H. S. In making sandwiches you were one of th“ best. Do you remember how well you sold them and how much it helped the annual? You were also manager of the foot ball team, and were always ready to take th? boys to the park every time there was a game. I only wish that 1 were back with all our old class mates. Wouldn ' t we have fun ? Your “Pal.” Margaret. PEARL E. MAULDEN Entered ’23, Chairman of Program Committee Tar Heel Society ’24, Pres- ident Cannon Literary Society ’25, Secretary Athletic Associatirn ’25, Captain Varsity Basket Ball ’24, ’25, Glee Club ’25. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1935. Dear Pearl : Just think it has been ten years since you as captain of our Basket Ball team did more for the winning team of “K. H. S.” than any one of the other members. You remember the game we had with Barium “Hi?” Wasn’t that some game? I am delighted to hear that you are Physi- cal Director at Randolph Macon College. By your skillful training I hear the girls have won nine games out of ten. Wishing you great success in your work. Your old pal. Nan. SARAH OPHELIA OVERCASH Cannon Literary Societ ’25, Tar Heel Literary Society ’24, Glee Club ’23, Athletic Association ’24. Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 29, 1935. Dear Ophelia : It has been ten years since we were together at “old K. H. S.” How hard we had to study. I am glad you have gotten the place you wanted as I am sure you will succeed as stenographer at the Cannon Mill. I wish I could see you and hope I will soon. Your friend. Gladys. EUGENE MONROE PEELER Entered ’22, Philomathean Society ’25, Tar Heel Society ’23, ’24, Hi-Y Club ’22, Pioneer Staff ’25, Varsity Basket Ball ’25, Scrub Basket Ball ’22, ’23, ’24. Kannapolis, N. C., Jan. 1, 1936. Dear Gene : So at last you have achieved your life’s ambition. I always knew you would be a lawyer some day. For when we were class mates in K. H. S. you were always talking. As I was reading in the New York Times I saw where Eugene Peeler, formerly of Kan- napol ' s, North Carolina, was one of the great- est lawyers on the bench of New York City. I suppose that you are handsome as you were when we were classmates. I hope so, anyhow. Your pal, “Emma.” Sixteen
