SENIOR SPONSOR Miss Louise Goforth GIRL MASCOT Missie Hauck BOY MASCOT Dicky Mattox 10 “The sequel of to¬ day unsolders all this goodly fellow- CLASS SONG And now we have come to the end of all The days we call our best, We’ve reached our goal, Being ever bold Striving for happiness; We ' ve tried to do all the things we should And now our task is through; We’ll forever think of our high school days And dear old Boyden, too. —BECKY DAVIS and LILLIAN STEWART CLASS POEM We face today a new tournament of life, Prepared to meet its hardships unafraid, Girded not with armor, sword or knife, But with knowledge as our trusty battle aid. Others have faced this tournament, we know, Long has it raged in human life; Our fathers faced it many years ago, And marched ahead to victory out of strife. Though adversaries wound us now and then, And make the battle harder than before, We hope to struggle bravely to the end, And conquer as did gallant knights of yore. The horizon which we face is glowing bright; Though all our future yet remains untold, We pray that we may win our every fight, And find our long sought trophies at the goal. May these trophies be for kindness and for love, Filled with days of happiness and joy, Blessed with all the goodness from above, And true success for every girl and boy. —BILL HEITMAN 12 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ..

JTlost Bependabie 33 CLASS HISTORY In the month of September 1933, 341 young maids and pages, desiring to become knights and ladies, took their places in Boyden High School to begin their school life. Realizing it would take much work for them to achieve their ambitions, they set themselves to their tasks. Although there were many leaders in the group, no one page was chosen to lead, for this class had no officers. Despite the fact that they were small, they soon won recognition by winning a majority of the coveted P. T. S. A. attendance prizes. The following September found our young friends joyously returning to high school as sophomores, and, after choosing Bill Murdoch as president, they turned their efforts toward new honors for themselves and their school. Some even became brave enough to enter the great Radio Revue. Others assisted the Junior squires in giving the honorable Senior knights a party. Under the capable direction of Miss Jessie Thompson the squires gave an enjoyable play, “Founding of the Nation.” Miss Thompson also directed the Girl Reserves in their Easter Pageant. At the end of the year most of the squires became Juniors—soon to become knights. The fall of 1935 found our noble group in the role of Juniors. Choosing Sir Buck Woodson as their leader they strove on toward nobler accomplishments, one of the greatest being the annual Junior-Senior party. Carl Deal automatically became president of the student body when Pete Wallenborn moved from town. The Hi-Y and Girl Reserves had a very enjoyable year. The Junior class contributed Buck Woodson and Billy Snider to the debaters. The negative team of the group won their debate. Mae Cuthrell, Lillian Stewart, Polly Crowder, Frances Dutton, Charles Mc- Swain, Billy Snider, Buck Woodson and Carl Deal were the Senior Marshals at commencement; at that time Carl Deal was presented with the Academy of Science Award. The National Honor Society honored Wade Eagle, Naomi Barber, Buck Woodson, Frances Nash, Billy Snider and Carl Deal by choosing them as members. This year saw Salisbury’s Yellow Jackets defeat Charlotte in a football tournament. With these honors already bestowed on them our jolly band became possessed of greater dignity as w T ell as greater knowledge, for they realized they had reached the goal of Knighthood. This year Polly Crowder was chosen to lead these mighty men and women to their glory. This group saw the publishing of “Echo Jr.”; they saw Boyden’s first May day celebration, with two of their number, “Sugar Lady” Thompson and Bill Heitman, as king and queen for the event; they saw Boyden’s Band win third place in the state contest: saw the Hi-Y and Girl Reserves progres¬ sing rapidly; saw our debating team composed of Annie Marie Williams, Kempton Jones, Buck Woodson and Mary Frances Dutton, the negative team, Mary Frances, and Buck, winning their debate; they saw Naomi Barber win the Keesler Memorial Essay prize in the school and county and win third place in the district; they saw Boyden become again a grade A school and proclaimed the prettiest in the state; they saw the Social Standards conference have a triumphant day; and surely the annual directed by this class has not been surpassed in previous years. And now 200 men and women have reached the goal for which they have long striven. These brave knights and ladies hear calls to go on greater quests. They pledge themselves to the ideals of the knights of old, to go forth into a world of kindness, hopefulness and service. —BETTY BLACKMER. Historian LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT To whom it may concern: We, the lords and ladies of the Senior Class of 1937. finding ourselves on the threshold of a new world, do hereby will and bequeath the following of our posses¬ sions and characteristics to members of our faculty and to those students who as¬ pire to our exalted position in the future: 1. To our respected adviser, Miss Louise Goforth: our heartfelt thanks for her splendid guidance through our senior year. 2. Our sincerest appreciation to our principal. Miss Julia Groves, and to the faculty for their inspired effort to prepare us both mentally and morally for the future. 3. “Sug” Thompson and Adelaide Sloop bestow their angelic beauty upon Betsy Russell and Hilda Stoker. 4. Frances Hillis leaves her eight yards of parking space in front of the school to Robert Manning in hopes that his Studebaker w’ill fit. 5. Audrey McKagen leaves her pleasing personality and charm to Kitty Sigmon who amply fills the position she is thus entitled to. 6 . The senior girls unanimously leave their hearts to that champion of all heart takers: Charlie Gooch. 7. Bill Woodson generously bequeaths the front sidewalk to the first one who gets it. 8 . Carl Deal and Polly Crowder leave their executive ability and popularity to Nancy Leonard and Eddie Cuthrell. 9. Lillian Beaver receives Lillian Stewart’s cheerleading ability by request. 10. Edward Haden bestows his remarkable ability to produce a straight “A” report to Tom Van Poole. 11. “Judge” Newman leaves his interest in “T” models to Don Clement, who is welcome to it as far as “Judge” is concerned. 12. From “Skinny” Norvell with best regards: the ability to write the “mushiest” love notes and swing the dizziest corners, to Bill McCulley. 13. Eleanor Holshouser receives Becky Davis’ swingy dancing ability. 14. Turned up nose, laughing disposition, popularity—all to Nancy Craig Sum¬ mers from “Tankie” Smith. 15. Robert Earnhardt and Nancy Carter leave their crazy cackle to Willie Ross and Ella Troy Woodson. 16. From Margaret Shaver to Charlotte Daniels goes that abundance of rhythm and song. 17. Bobby Brantley and Buck Woodson bestow the art of making a love affair last upon Betsy Russell and “Bo” McKenzie. 18. We tried hard to find someone to whom we might leave that marvelous dis¬ position and all-round excellence of the Kirchin twins, John and William, but after much searching we had to decide to let it leave Boyden with them. 19. If something isn’t done immediately Bill Murdoch’s vast knowledge of park¬ ing places will be lost to Boyden. Contact Bill in 218 for these precious secrets. 20. Lastly, with sad and sorrowful hearts, the Knights and Ladies of ’37 leave their splendid teachers and well-kept rooms to the juniors with the advice that they develop new ways of preventing “Echo Jr.” reporters irom intercepting notes. 21. To Sophomores: Get the right kind of lipstick, The fastest sort of car, Know all the places, And you’ll go far. 22. To Freshmen: Don’t burst over with too much pride when you receive those first long trousers and permanent waves. Hereupon we, the aforesaid class of ’37 do affix our signature and seal to this, our last will and testament, and do appoint as our sole executor, Mr. Roy Rollins. —WILLIAM SNIDER. Lawyer STATISTICS Here are the statistics of all the 200 wisest and most learned men and women of the court. The class has lived 2,500 years. This is perhaps the reason for its profound know¬ ledge. It has a total weight of 18,793 pounds or approximately 9 8-10 tons, which proves that its opinion should have great weight. However, as this perspective of the class is too huge for the ordinary person to cope with, more simple statistics are perhaps desirable. The average member of the Senior Class is 16 years old, and is not as dumb as he looks. The average girl is five feet, three inches in height, and weighs 113 pounds, while the average boy is five feet, seven inches, and weighs 141 pounds. Out of the 200 seniors, 55 per cent have brown eyes and 45 per cent have blue eyes. 28 per cent of this vast body are blonds, 63 per cent brunettes, 7 per cent red heads, and the remaining 2 percent are uncertain due to peroxide and scorched permanents. The majority of the girls boast of a size six shoe, while the boys are equally proud of their size 8 V 2 . Most of us, however, feel that we have quite dainty shoes when they are compared with “Pete” Monroe’s size 11. 75 per cent of this dignified class are Democrats, and 15 per cent are Republicans; the remaining 10 per cent could not make up their minds. The average student has been in this great institution of learning 4 years. My, does not he feel proud of himself when he thinks of John Culp’s record of eight years? 61 per cent expect to go to college; 37 per cent feel that they have been so ade¬ quately prepared to face the hardships they are to encounter in life that they need not seek any higher form of learning, while 2 per cent are not sure whether they need more grey matter in their brains or not. The class is fairly well divided on the question of love. 49 per cent are sure that old Dan Cupid has the best of them; 43 per cent are sure that they have not felt the sting of his arrow; 8 per cent are too bashful to know whether they are in love or not. One of our outstanding senior girls seems to have already fastened her fancies for good on the statistician of 1936, and both would be glad to give anyone the latest pointers on this most important subject. Now for the favorites of this group of master-minds as carefully computed by personal interview with each of the 290. Typing is the favorite subject, while Miss Archer is the favorite teacher. Plymouth and Buick tied for the favorite car, but I fear that at the present a 1937 blue Chevrolet is the number one car among the girls. I find that the favored radio program is the Lux Theatre, with a good word thrown in for the Briar-Hopper Boys. Naturally, the girls would choose Robert Taylor for their favorite movie star. The boys seemed to get the most enjoyment from Micky Mouse and Donald Duck. Ice Cream is the favorite dish. As usual, foot¬ ball is the favorite sport. Five of our loving-type seniors chose spooning as their favorite sport (if you wish to call it that) and like to sit in the moonlight with their “duckums”, silently holding hands. Of course, no other orchestra but Benny Good¬ man’s could be the “tops” during this wave of “Rhythm” and “Swing Fever”. Thus, I leave this resume of the class of 1937 as my contribution to the most in¬ tellectual class ever to graduate from dear old Boyden High. —ROBERT EARNHARDT, Statistician PROPHECY Fully realizing that we of this august body of dignified seniors have reached the period of time when our cranial cavities are completely filled with all knowledge of everything, and realizing that this mentioned knowledge is far more profound in us than in either the faculty or our forebears, we do yet deem it necessary to work for some final goal of success, and to make certain predictions which we know will come to pass and thereby satisfy our ego. Accordingly I, your most bumble prophet, do hereby prophesy this day of May twentieth, nineteen hundred and thirty-seven, the following events. I hereby do formally and solemnly swear, affirm, declare, and avow that to the best of my profound knowledge, gathered from close observation of mankind’s ways, that these things will come to pass: First: Our faculty will profit frcm their association with us acknowledged su¬ perior beings and in the future be better and wiser teachers. Second: Henceforth, culprits of school rules will be punished by having to do history “C” assignments. Third: In no less than 20 years Miss Emma Marston will have seme more young Norvells to drag into the light of higher learning. Fourth: Polly Crowder and Bill Murdoch will soon take up residence at Milford Hills (reason unknown). Fifth: In 1949, Miss “Sug” Thompson, Boyden’s most beautiful senior, will be Miss Universe. (Who says that Boyden doesn’t pave the way for greater things?) Sixth: Bill Snider and Betty Blackmer will become more and more proficient in their literary work, until they both become magazine editors—they hope, they hope. Seventh: Carl Deal will allow his beard to grow, and thus hidden from the world, pursue his study of science for the welfare of mankind. Eighth: A new process for making rubber from chewing gum will be invented by Bill Woodson, Nancy Carter, and Leon Troutman, so they won ' t have to throw theirs away after it becomes used. Ninth: Dick Woodcock and Judge Newman will be prominent doctors if they continue to study as hard as Judge plans to. 39 V; 40 Tenth: I hereby prophesy that Becky Davis will be Miss America in 1941, Audrey McKagen in ’42, and Katherine Gutherie in ' 43. (Made 75 cents for that one, but I believe it anyway.) Eleventh: If, and when they graduate from college, Bill Heitman, and John Culp will be offered positions by the dozens for coaching. Twelth: Richard Rendleman will do as his mother tells him, start eating spinach, and as a result grow six feet and one tenth of another inch. Margaret Shaver, as soon as she stops losing so much sleep over a certain gentleman, will grow very pleasingly plump. Thirteenth: Bob Mowery will be United States Senator from North Carolina in 1953, and Joe Hunter, Secretary of Treasury of the United States. (And I wasn’t paid to say that, either.) Fourteenth: Robert Earnhardt and Albert Barkley will become Salisbury’s most eligible bachelors after they have made “gobs” of money in the grocery business. Fifteenth: The notes passed from Dick Woodcock to Dorothy Wright will become fine examples of romantic expression to future young masculine woodcocks, if they ever find them. Sixteenth: Wade Eagle and Naomi Barber will continue their excellent scholastic records and as a result make good in whatever they try to do. Behind them are the best wishes of the class. Seventeenth: In ten years Bobbie Brantley will be married to a very rich, in¬ telligent, handsome gentleman. Eighteenth: Irene Bowers’ power over Boyden’s male element will grow and grow until finally she’ll catch a big one and marry him. Nineteenth: “Tankie” Smith, because of her immense love for the French lan¬ guage, will become a French teacher, unless she elopes with that cute, dark-haired senior, Charles McSwain, before she finishes college. Twentieth: Clara Brittain and Gaynell Meisemer will attract the attention of Park Avenue dress shops and will become New York ' s most beautiful models. Twenty First: Tom Kern will become one of the outstanding lumber magnates similiar to the ones so painfully studied in History 6. Twenty Second: Buck Woodson will be promoted from a position in the garbage department to head of the street cleaning department. Twenty Third: The powerful sinews of Max Henderlite and Red Mills, developed by their hard labor back-stage, will be applied to the noble art of stamp collecting and bass horn playing, respectively. Twenty Fourth: Mae Cuthrell will beccme a society editor in Stewart Home Maker’s Guide. Twenty Fifth: “Gone With The Wind” will be belittled by the novels written by Virginia Blymer and Clarence Owens. Twenty Sixth: The engineering fraternity will be proud to possess within its midst such outstanding engineers as Franklin Deese, La Monte Cauble, and J. C. Deadmon. Twenty Seventh: The Nussman cousins will surprise themselves as well as every¬ body else by becoming efficient wives of their present admirers. Twenty Eighth: The musical talent of Eugene Morris will lead him to become America’s Jazz King. Twenty Ninth: The foundation formed by Mary Frances Dutton ' s masterful de¬ bating will be oi much assistance when she becomes the South’s leading woman lawyer. Hereupon I do afix my signature along with the signature of my doctor who vouches for my sanity, and that of my father who does not vouch for my sanity. Signed: “BUCK” WOODSON, Prophet Doctor: I. M.
