'ff' CLASS PROPHEGY - '41 Ten years have flown by since that memorable day in june, 1941, when the graduation exercises were held in Albemarle High School. Now, couldn't get pause for just a little while and see what a few of our old classmates are omg? Governor Ted Wallace made an inspiring talk at the Rotary Club last Thursday. The president of the club, Bailey Gulledge, introduced the speaker and welcomed him back to his old home town. Governor Wallace was accom- panied to Albemarle by his secretary, Miss Billy Ray Dry. Among the outstanding business men who enjoyed his speech were Gilbert Russell, Deward Lefler, Max Ritchie, Charles Crawley and Bill Gantt. The faculty of A. H. S. has changed somewhat in the past ten years. If we look now we will find Max Morton teaching eleventh grade English, Helen Wentz, who is expected to become a Rotary Anne before long, teaching physics' Bobby Ritchie teaching World History, Lucienne Whitlock and john Auten coaching the athletic teams, and Clegg Furr teaching chemistry. French has been replaced by German, which is ably taught by Fraulein Margaret Moore. As principal of this great educational system we have Alfred Morton. We are especially fortunate in having Mr. Morton, for his last book, Theory of Ignorance, has brought him many tempting offers, but he has elected to remain at his Alma Mater. We ind our old friends in the field of business. :Mary Emily Eflrd, C01-- nelia Yeager, and Maxine Cashatt are co-editors of the Grusomette, the new and popular fashion magazine. Ralph Lipe and Truett Stallings are Said to sell jalopy cars faster than they can be manufactured, while Hilda Smith, Betty Van Lefler, Martha Russell and Geraldine Luther are busy pounding typewriterg, Yep! They're secretaries now and first class ones, too! Lloyd Skidmore could sell a bear a fur coat in the middle of july, so persuasive his sales talk. Dr. Samuel Lamar now runs the hang-out for all the gang-many's the good time we've had there. For those who haven't yet looked up their life of Shakespeare, let us refer you to the Stanly County Library now managed by the quiet and capable Miss Elizabeth Haire. And for those of you who, when SlCk, want a pretty nurse, you know whom to call on-of course it would be Jewell Almond. . The magnificent new building on the outskirts of town is the new Beauty Clinic guaranteed to take ten years off your life, if not your looks. It is owned and operated by Miss Josephine Beaver, who has the following staff of cosmetologist: permanents--Juanita Herrin, manicures-Ruth Cox, pedicures.. Ruby Shaver, mud baths-Lois Melton, tar and feather baths-Alice Smith' egg baths-Mary Louise Lisk, milk baths-Mary Rose Curlee, Turkish baths.l Mary Anne Skidmore and Sue Laton--guarantee to reduce or fatten you ac- cording to desire, molasses baths-Jewel Stoker, scalding facials-Lillian ,Ta1- bert, freezing facials-Dorothy Rhinehardt, exercise-Lee Gilliam' growing and shrinking advice-Helen Russell and Martha Penninger-they make you tall Or they make you small. Thus, it is easily understood how the ladies of Albe- marle obtain and retain their beauty. . 3 V. r16'.iL A 'NL I N .W 'FH s its 1 -ig glrh v I ' gf' .5 vii Vi' ai! . 1- : SW 13 sl . i 5 it lit 1 'I-fl as r l if .1 if 5'-712 iii' Wi ' a xiii 4 ii? iff . 1 4 't . tai K- l, if W ' g-fr ,l f 'ki ' . 4,5 1 ze 1' .iii ,. irwi 'l A-E if z .3 X 4 t, if W P-i ,1 A n E44 3 fi HQ 1, 2' f'v 4 5 as ml ' 9? 4 v7 N G e e H. es ' 0.6 ZA ?'

We expected anything to befall us the first week of school, but to our relief nothing happened. Each of us went about with two purposes in mind: to keep from getting lost, and, above all, to keep out of the way of the high and mighty upperclassmen. After the excitement subsided, we settled down to do some real work. Soon it was Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Christmas to us meant two weeks of idleness. After returning to school we started working harder than ever. During the next four months we worked hard, hoping to complete our freshman year with honor. During our freshman year the twelfth grade was added. Thus we ended our freshman year, put aside our books, and welcomed the vacation. The following fall we began our sophomore year with little change. During our sophomore year the Student Council was organized. Bill Mann was elected president. This Council carried out. many .worthwhile projects during the year. They sponsored the school's Carnival, which was held for the first time that year. May brought the annual Field Day, and June meant va- cation. No more outstanding events marked our S0Ph0lff101'e Year, but at the end of the year we were proud that we were climbing h1gher'up the ladder of our high school education. After a happy vacation we trooped back to school in September, 1938, and entered as a group of jolly juniors. We could never forget the good times we had in Mr. Gehring's history class that year. One of the most important phases of the year was the Open House sponsored by the Student Council. Another was the tapping of the members of the newly- organized Honor Society, sponsored by Miss Emma Milling. The Student Council also presented a number of movies to the student body. In the spring officers of the Council were elected for the coming year. The students elected Ted Wallace, president, Idell Mauldin, vice-presldellti V1013 Hudson, secretary, and Polly Martin, treasurer. We brought our third year to a close, realizing, 85 we bade the seniors farewell, that we had only one more year at Albemarle High School. In the fall of 1940 our senior year began with an enrollment of 199. We were proud that we had reached the final lap of our school Journey. We were greeted by our new principal, Mr. McFadyen, who replaced Mr. Gibson. During the first few weeks lessons were forgotten.. The .Little World's Series was being played and baseball became our favorite. topic. After a week of that, we settled down to work and began to think seriously of graduation. The class, under the leadership of Miss Rose Laws, elected Ted Wallace, president, Lafayette Blackwell, vice-president, Lucille Palmer, secretaryg and Polly Martin, treasurer. The National Honor Society had its annual tapping ceremony. Deward Lefier was elected president. The new members were: Margaret Nisbet, Hubert Hatley, Barbara Crowell, Betty Hatley, Ted Wallace, Ann Henning, Gatha Sells, Alfred Morton, and Cornelia Yeager. Out of 199 students 149 planned to graduate. Thirty-seven of these came from the twelfth grade. On a whole our class has worked well together, and we hope that each individual in the class will be able to fit himself into some place of service and usefulness in life. Our hopes and ambitions are high as we stand with our face to the future. In the years to come these pages will--we hope-keep alive memories of perhaps the happiest part of our lives.

Gracie Blalock, Marguerite Walker, Eileen Dry, and Lena Chandler manage the branches in Boston, Richmond, Atlanta and Miami, respectively. For the best of food, eat at Lodo'sl Well, it seems that Artie Shaw has had his day, for he is certainly being replaced by Maestro Elbert Mullinix and his famous clarinet. Put a talented bunch of musicians together, such as Bill Betts, Florence Splude, and Robert Lowder, and you would really have something. That's what Elbert did! In New York City, The Opera is going full swing with its new Madame Butterfly, Willie Frances Efirdg and other members of the cast include Mar- garet Nisbet, Catherine Whiteley and Patty Crowell. Playing opposite the Madame is Edward Melchior Furr, who is to sing for Hitler when the war is over, his manager, Charles Lowder, said recently. The Yankees beat the Giants 50-0 last Saturday. Sports reporter Bob Morrow predicts a brilliant future for the stars of the winning team, Tommie Swanner and Ralph Campbell . . . The All-American Football Team has just been announced. We are indeed proud of Layfayette Blackwell, Fred Albright, games Senter, Grady Brooks and Horace Whitley, who are among the chosen ew. The latest hit to hit Broadway is Those Ca'lina Gals written and directed by Jane Turner and Polly Martin. The members of the cast include Ramelle Pickler, Margaret Deese, Ruth Cox, and Helen Thorpe. Columnist Dorothy Thompson Parker predicts it will have a long run. Have you seen The Albemarle Story? The star, George Gable Etird, has caused twenty thousand heart failures in the last week. In a medical jour- nal, published by Dr. John Sides, ladies with weak hearts are advised not to see this picture. The story was written by Miss Virginia Niven and revised for the screen by Miss Nell Denning. We're in the army now! So might say Captain Bill Morrow of the air corps, midshipmen Hubert Hatley and Ray Lefler of the navy, and Clinton Morton, Charles Crawley, H. A. Perry, and Craven Lowder of the army. They liked it so well the first year they just decided to stay. The highlight of the social season was the wedding of Miss Annette Steele 'to John Little. The bride was lovely in her red satin designed by Madame Mabelle Underwood, and carrying home-grown orchids cultivated in the green- houses of Miss Bessie Lee Rudisill. They were married by Justice of the Peace, Bruce Saunders, and attendants were Edna Efird, Ellen Hearne, and Laura Frances Peck. A reception immediately followed in the home of Mrs. Wm. Morrow, nee Sister Auten. Co-hostess at the party was Miss Lucille Palmer. The Master Farmer of North Carolina was selected recently and they couldn't have chosen a better man. We have been hearing of Newell Almond's outstanding ability ever since he was in grammar school. His wife, nee Ramelle Burleson, has helped him a lot in achieving this honor. This will give you an idea of what has happened to a few of our friends and we'l1 catch up on the others some other time. ' ANN HENNING.
