Know-it-all Building 321 Prove-it Street “SONG BIRD” Madonna Rosalie Gillon, world wide known “Song Bird,” to sing at the audi- torium on Wednesday night. Madonna Gillon very sel- ' dem has the privilege of singing before such a large audience as that of Kanna- polis. Man$ remember her when she studied in school here. One who once hears her voice, will always recognize her when they catch a “glimpse” of it. FOUR WHEEL BRAKES ON A FORD News has just been re- ceived in ' the patent office, that Mr. Roy Rollins had in- vented four wheel brakes on his Ford. When he was questioned what led him to think about inventing the brakes, he related his story very formally and frankly ad- mitted the fact that his Ford was so old that parts of it had worn into. Once he had to take some wires and rop- ing to tie his wheels togeth- er, and when he hail gone a half a block, the wires and roping had wrapped itself around the axles of the car, and the wheels refused to turn, and so my Ford stopped I thought I would come and get a patent on it, before some guy would come along and take the brakes off in order to take a ride. We are sure of a large au- dience and think they will be pleased to hear her melo- dious voice. Come out and fill the au- ditorium so that the corners won’t reecho her voice. At the Sing-it Louder Hall, Time, One hour before the Strike. A MOTORLESS WHEELBARROW A new motorless wheelbar- row has just been invented by Mr. Edgar Davis. Mr. Davis’ talent for machinery has at last won him fame. Mr. Davis’ patent has been received with many congrat- ulations, and many think that his great ability to do small things will prove to be great enough to do larger things some day in the future. THREE-IN-ONE A very famous invention took place, when Miss Shelby Bost discovered shoe polish would take the place of a shoe shine, Mabeline, and hair-dye stay comb. Shelby was always known by her economical disposi- tion, and maybe some day her invention will become a ‘ famous invention to others.

to all the The last announcement fcr the night and I will say Goodnight radio fans. Miss Alma Durham, of the Carolina Stage Society, will stage a play at Glass, North Carolina, February the 31st. A kind little maid appeared before us, with the evening paper and a cup of tea. Turning my paper over, this is what I read: “Miss Williene Smith, head nurse of John Hopkins Hospital, becomes the bride of Dr. M .” Reading on I came to a stop. This is it! The Kindergarten of 134 West Bronx, New York, announces the arrival of the new supervisor of the kindergarten, Miss Mildred Parker, of Kannapolis, North Carolina. Miss Parker has the ability to win the hearts of the little ones, and success is sure. Never once in my life have I seen so many announcements. World-wide Interior Decorator, Miss Mary Lee Hill, will be in Kannapolis to observe the interior decoration rf the High School library and auditorium. Wonder why? I just decided to read about the world and what all was hap- pening, when I spied a name that I knew must be Margie Winecoff’s. Margie was in court sueing for a divorce on the basis that she was tired of living with her present husband and wanted to change to break the monotony of seeing the same face every day. Of course I would read the advertisements. Not being so much surprised as some might have been. Then I read that “The World Known Museum,” of Landis, North Carolina, had changed owners. Mr. Edgar Davis, the new proprietor. Mr. Davis has a large collection of June bugs and fish worms and many other interesting animals to enter into his museum. Folding up my paper, I was about to lay it aside, when I read, “Just Returned from Paris, Mme. Sue Maulden. Having completed her course in Parisian styles Mine. Maulden will take up her work in the near future at Concord, North Carolina.” Laying my paper aside I was inclosed in dreams and as silence reigned over the night, the soft breezes chased my memories away. But there was still a vivid memory of the class of ’26. Gladys Goodnight- ’26, Prophetess. T JL Twenty-eight
