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.

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

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.

Dear Sadie : I was looking through the “Kannapolis Star” this morning an item caught my eye. It read : “Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

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
