Printing Rowan Printing Company Engraving Charlotte Engraving Company Photographer J. E. Alexander Not with egotism, but humbly, in the knowledge that we dealt with something big¬ ger than ourselves, have we worked upon this book. We have tried with camera, brush, and pen to portray the activities at Boyden High School, and we hope our efforts will recall many memorable days and events that have shaped ou r lives for the past four years. May our happy days Echo and re-Echo across the pages and years that follow. 4 -+k£ 1939 Celt o 5 tAtH c ° PRINCIPAL MISS GROVEX ■NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY MISS MCLAUGHLIN mm |MR BECK • MR ROGERS PpHKBte « ' t� - .

We’ll cherish, honor, and protect Ideals that stand for right. We’ll fight the fight We’ll do our best For loyal friendships true, We’ll ever and forever strive, Dear Boyden High for you. Ella Troy Woodson —Coco McKenzie UPWARD AND ONWARD Always striving upward and onward, Climbing each step of the way, Increasing the beauty of the world, And the loveliness of each day. Forever valiant, kind, and courageous, Never wishing ill To those we love, and to others Whom we meet upon life’s hill. Believing ever in our Master— Praying for the Light To shine before us all the way, And brighten each dark night. Go forth, 0 Youth! Your place awaits you In a world of pow’r; Strive on, O Youth—bring love and peace; Dust the petals of God’s flow’r. And as you travel on life’s road, May memories ne’er depart Of the class of nineteen thirty-nine; Cherish them deep in your heart. —Eleanor Omwake. 13 Adams, Rachel Lorcan True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.

We started organizing early and chose as our leader, Dick Crowder. Ella Troy Woodson and Virginia McKenzie, with the aid of Miss Gladys Black, wrote our class song. At the same time the class chose the motto, “The top of the ladder for us.” This first year was a great one in the athletic field for our girls and boys. The girls tied for the hockey championship, won the archery and track championship, and tied with the senior girls for the intramural cup. The boys, on the other hand, took complete possession of the intramural cup and won many other class honors. More recognition fell upon our class when we won the coveted P. T. S. A. cup. Father Time took charge of us, and before we knew it, we were no longer freshmen but full-fledged sophomores. Again we chose as our leader Dick Crowder, who capably guided us through our second year in high school. Kempton Jones began securing honors for us by winning a place on the debating team and our president followed by becoming treasurer of the student body. George Dever- eux took first place in the music contest held annually at Greensboro, North Carolina. Keeping up our athletic record, the girls won the hockey and track championship, while the boys walked away with the class basketball champion¬ ship. Both boys and girls won the intramural cups for the second time. The P. T. S. A. cup remained in our possession for another year. This year saw mem¬ bers of our class take part in the first May Day held at Boyden High School. The fall of 1937 found our ever popular group holding the title of juniors. For the third consecutive year we chose Dick Crowder as our leader. This year saw many honors fall upon our class. Kempton Jones became second vice-presi¬ dent of the student body. Members of our class became a part of the student council. The National Honor Society honored Della Murdoch, Virginia McKenzie, Belle Hicks Purvis, Hannah Joseph, Kempton Jones, Bill Stanback, Larry Hardin, and John Hanford by inviting them to join its honorable ranks. Five members of the class won positions on the debating team, with John Hanford and Henderson Ward going to the finals at Chapel Hill. Larry Hardin won the State Science Essay Award and Bill Stanback won second place. This year saw us play hosts to the Senior Class at the annual Junior-Senior Party. More honors came to us in athletics as our boys and girls again won the intramural cups. The girls took great pleasure in becoming hockey and basketball champions, while the boys won both the class and home room basketball championships. Don Clement wres¬ tled his way to fame by becoming the State Wrestling Champion of the hundred and forty-five pound class. Dwight Holshouser, Junior Bridges, and Francis Sum¬ mers were members of the Western Conference Champion Basketball Team. Dor¬ othy Thomason, Bunny Lingle, Mary Lee Caldwell, and Hannah Joseph became proud possessors of State Girls’ Athletic Association pins. Our final year! Seniors at last! This year we chose as our leader John Hanford, who carried us successfully through our last triumphs. Our ex-presi¬ dent, Dick Crowder, had now become president of the student body. Kempton Jones had become vice-president and Betty Alice Chandler, secretary. This year Margaret Summersett won the Fire Prevention Essay cup. Virginia McKenzie was chosen by the senior girls and the faculty to represent Boyden High School in the D. A. R. Pilgrimage. She won second place in the state contest. Milton Shoaf and Don Clement came home from Chapel Hill State Wrestling Champions in the hundred and thirty-five and hundred and fifty-five pound classes respectively. Kempton Jones added more honors to our class by being elected State President of the National Honor Society. The debating team was made up of five members of the Senior Class: Della Murdoch and Kempton Jones, negative, with Graham Carlton as alternate, and John Hanford and Henderson Ward, affirmative. The National Honor Society invited the following seniors to join: Mary Lee Caldwell, Graham Carlton, Betty Chandler, Katherine Cress, Dick Crowder, Betty Eagan, Elizabeth Ellington, Margaret Falk, Mary George, Bernetta Lingle, Jean Logan, Pauline Miller, Nell Everette Nash, Eleanor Omwake, Mary Anna Peeler, Ella Marie Pinkston, Milton Shoaf, Margaret Summersett, Sadie Sloop, Nancy Craig Summers, Henderson Ward, Ermine Williams, and Ella Troy Woodson. Our Senior Class very successfully took charge of College Day. We saw the Junior-Senior Party come through as a most enjoyable event. Many athletic honors fell on our class during our final year. Bunny Lingle became president of the Girls’ Athletic Association and the following girls received their State pins: Mary Anna Peeler, Katherine Grimes, Margaret Barnhardt. Thus ends the career of the class of thirty-nine. We entered Boyden High School four years ago, and, although we hate to leave, we are obliged to say fare¬ well to the juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and last, but not least, the faculty of Boyden High School. May the future years bring all of you as much happiness as the past four years have brought us. And now from the Class of 1939, “Fare¬ well to all.” Very truly yours, Hannah Joseph, Historian of Senior Class. STATISTICS “Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Lend me thine ears.” I have come neither to bury Caesar, nor to praise him, but to dig up some of the facts of the Senior Class of 1939 and to present them in the form of statistics to an eagerly awaiting world. I wish not to bury these highly important findings, which in some form or other may praise the dignified seniors of dear ole Boydeti High School, but to present them so that all may know of the worth of this illus¬ trious class. I have discovered, after long research and concentrated study, that: the Senior Class as a whole seems to be a healthy group, with the boys averaging in weight the surprising sum of one hundred forty-four pounds, with the pride and joy of the band, Herman Earnhardt, (a measly two hundred and nine pounds) bringing up the average considerably. The girls, sometimes called the fairer sex, tip the scales at an average of one hundred and fourteen pounds, being brought down by the flyweight, Ermine Williams, whose eighty-eight pounds would make any average hit rock bottom. In the matter of feet, we seniors are pretty well planted. Jean Logan tops the girls, who average a size six shoe, with a size eight. Sam Garland wears the crown for the boys, who average size nine, by virtue of his size twelve. Excessive shoe sizes, however, do not stop these two from being two of the best jitterbugs in the most beautiful school in the state. Jive, jive, you alligators, jive—opps—sorry students, but your loyal statis¬ tician was almost carried away when the totals showed that over fifty per cent of the seniors are jitterbugs and like to get in the groove with Artie Shaw, King of the Clarinet, whose band was voted the favorite one. He was closely followed by votes for Benny Goodman, King of Swing, but other voters remained loyal to the Boyden Band to the end. Kay Kyser also polled quite a few votes. Goldsmith once said, “Tis the loud laugh that speaks the vacant mind,” but this saying does not hold true in the Senior Class, as the average vocal cavity is only two and one-eighth inches wide, which proves we don’t make all the noise in the school. (Francis Summers must have been absent that day we took the measurements.) Junior Bridges’ theme song is “My Blue Heaven.” Guess this is because he walks around with his head in the clouds because he is the sole possessor of the six foot, four inch frame which brings the boys’ average height up to five feet, nine inches. Virginia Farabee puts the skids under the girls’ average height as she reaches only five feet, one inch, in her stocking feet. It looks as if our girls will be drawing their old age pension before long. Here is one who ought to be dead—1658 years old—-oh! I am sorry—that is the total for all the girls to average up to a sweet sixteen. The boys are probably just as smart, but they can’t help having su ch an old man as Alfred Ramsey, who is still not old enough to vote, to average in and make their years number seventeen. When it came to a favorite radio program, sixty-five per cent of the seniors chose the Lux Radio Theater of the Air. Benny Goodman’s Camel Caravan, which comes rolling in every Tuesday night, ran a close second with his vocalist, Martha Tilton, ranking the number one favorite over the vast chain of networks. Gang Busters still furnish some seniors with excitement. Willie Stanback chose as his favorite radio star, none other than that hero of the west, The Lone Ranger. When we gathered our statistics, seventy-five per cent of the students were brownettes, while fifteen per cent were brunettes, five per cent blondes, and the remaining five per cent, red heads. These records will not stand for long as, in¬ stead of in the spring of the year a young man’s fancy turning lightly to love, it turns to peroxide. In parting, let me say that if Franklin D. Roosevelt were running again in 1940 and the seniors were old enough to vote, he would get almost ninety-nine per cent of the support as we managed to dig up one Republican in the Senior Class; this, a wizzard of the piano, Ella Troy Woodson. As Shakespeare once said, “Parting is such sweet sorrow,” and so I sign this immortal document that it may some day hang in the Museum of Fine Arts or even in the Rogues Gallery and I leave you with the thought that you under¬ classmen have something to look forward to in that you may in the near future be dignified seniors like the brilliant class of 1939. Dick Crowder, Statistician ■B 1 III ■■ 1 IM n i jjaEw ■ u IV.,. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF BOYDEN HIGH SCHOOL CLASS DAY, 1939 North Carolina, County of Rowan: We, the members of the Senior Class of 1939, oi Boyden High School, having the reputation of being of sound mind and of disposing memory, do hereby make and declare the following as our last will and testament, to wit: First: To our parents we leave all of the love and devotion that may have seemed lacking at certain times during our high school careers. Without your patience and help our graduation would be im¬ possible. Second: To Miss Groves and the members of the faculty, we leave our heartfelt thanks. Your kind counsel, guidance, and forgiving hearts were needed and certainly appreciated. Third: Dick Crowder leaves his executive ability to Harold Kenerly, the new president of the student body. Fourth: Dick Coughenour leaves his uncanny ability to take the answer to a physics problem and work out the equation, to any poor, struggling, future physics student who believes that he can follow Dicks’ procedure. Fifth: John Hanford leaves his exceptional ability to have a local as well as an out-of-town girl on his string at the same time to any boy who feels that he is man enough to assume said responsibilities. Sixth: All basketball players and fans leave to Alvin Kluttz the most sincere of hopes that some day before he leaves this institution, Coach will not say to him, “Kluttz—oh, he’s just downright lazy.” Seventh: Scootsie Ward leaves his ability to argue and win the majority of friendly discussions with his teachers to George Ellis, who isn’t faring so well at present. Eighth: Sue Wellman leaves her “oh-so-innocent” blush to Nancy Taylor. Ninth: Bill Stanback leaves his affection for the feminine members of the underclasses to Paul Carter, who is busily engaged in bestowing attentions on them at the present time. Tenth: Pauline Miller leaves her able handling of the numerous responsibilities of the traffic com¬ mittee to the other Pauline Miller. Eleventh: Hannah Joseph and “Bunny” Lingle leave their outstanding athletic ability to Doris Baker and Sammy Holton. Twelfth: Mary Lentz leaves her ability of getting to school within the last minute before the bell every day to Ann Hobson, with the hope that she, too, can get by with it. Thirteenth: Handsome Graham Carlton leaves his perfect and elegant appearance at all times to any young “Beau Brummell” of the rising Senior Class who feels that in some manner he can approach the fair Romeo of our class in gentility at all times, on all occasions. Fourteenth: Della Murdoch and Ella Troy Woodson leave their angelic beauty to Rachel Trexler and Nancy Jackson. Fifteenth: The entire debating team leaves its innumerable abilities to Jimmy Putzel and any other underclassmen who believe that they can ever reach the heights attained by the present debaters. Sixteenth: Milton Shoaf and Don Clement, our two State Wrestling Champions, leave their oustand- ing grappling ability to “One-Barrell” Loflin and Alfred Lackey. Seventeenth: Betty Alice Chandler leaves her fine cooperative spirit to Doris Murph. Eighteenth: Coco McKenzie leaves her all-around good qualities to Alice Peeler. Nineteenth: Reid Clark’s collection of wisecracks goes to Jimmie Trotter. Twentieth: Larry (“Pete”) Hardin leaves his ability to steal other boys’ girls to Julian and Edward McKenzie, who should be able to approach “Pete’s” technique. Twenty-First: Clyde Young leaves his outstanding musical ability to Seth Murdoch. Twenty-Second: Nancy Craig Summers, Elizabeth Ellington, and Katherine Cress leave their peculiar ability to get in a corner and find out something about a little bit of everything to Elizabeth Roseman and Peggy Marie Moore. Twenty-Third: And now as the time draws near to close this document of such exceptional meaning, we would like to leave a bit of advice to the much bewildered underclassmen: Freshmen, remember that soon you will be embarking upon one of life’s greatest adventures—dating, or engaging in conversation with the members of the opposite sex. Learn the art of conversation. Sophomore, don’t you ever aspire to be as handsome as senior boys or as beautiful as the girls, because there’s no use to try. Juniors, yours is the task of filling responsibilities that will soon turn into impossibilities, when this, possibly the greatest and most outstanding of all senior classes to ever leave this magnificent edu¬ cational institution of Boyden High School in Salisbury, North Carolina, shall have made its final exit and forever departed from these historic portals. Accept these few responsibilities: Don’t tease Mr. Bunch! Let Miss Marston handle your finances! If you will let Miss Goforth advise on all class matters, you can’t go wrong. Remember that the library is a place of study. Fill those front, middle seats in the auditoriumas ladies and gentlemen of the Senior Class. And finally, use the present Senior Class as the basis of all of your planning so that your future will be bright and prosperous. In testimony whereof we have here unto set the hands and seals of those members of the Senior Class who have at some time or other unlawfully and illegally been considered “non compos mentis” by certain members of the faculty of this great institution, who have since been converted to the opinion that the members of our class are now of sound mind and disposing memory. We hereby appoint as our executors, Mr. William S. Ludwig and Mr. Larry Rogers. J. Kempton Jones, Lawyer. Signed, sealed, and attested, this 25th day of May, 1939, Anno Domini. ! - PROPHECY It was in the spring of dear old 1950 that the author ' ties associated with the chemical works at Fort Fisher, North Carolina, took a sudden and v ' olent notion that my services were no longer required. In other words, I was tossed out on my own. Before leaving. I said goodby to my old friends and fellow engineers, Walter Graham. Bill King, and Joe Roberts. These gentlemen were the managers of their respective engineering departments when I left. As I passed through Wilmington on my way back to Salis¬ bury. I stopped into the offices of the shipping line owned by Bobbie Tucker. Chalmers Goodman. James Mesimer, and Clyde Hartman. It seems that they were doing very well, but, never¬ theless. could not use any more help, so I headed for the old home town, via Charlotte. In Charlotte I found that the city library had been taken 1 over by Mary Lee Brattain and Jane Blalock, who were doing a very efficient job. In my constant search for employment I met a great many of the private secretaries of the various agencies. I remember very well seeing Sarah Blount. Mary Frances Cooke. Laura Mae Wagner, and Mona Bass in different offices which I visited. I went into the First National Bank only to find more acquaintances. Here I found Pauline Miller and Kat,herine Grimes as tellers and Marjorie Ritchie and Frances Wilhelm as accountants. Upon my forced exit from the bank, I fell over someone. The victim of my clumsiness proved to be none other than J. C. Carson, who told me that he was managing the city’s biggest theater. It appeared to me that Charlotte was not favor¬ able to job seekers, so once again I set out for Salisbury, this time via the wagging thumb. I was let out on the sidewalk outside the mighty Stanback (for headaches, neuralgia, colds, sore muscles, bad livers, and athletes foot) Plant. Knowing that Bill Stanback would prob¬ ably be inside I entered and inquired about him. I was directed to his little cubby-hole, where he was hard at work doing Tom Stanback’s job. He offered to show me around and let me see some of my old classmates who worked there. Let it be said to his credit that he didn’t offer me a job. I spoke to Tom Shores, Ted Murph. Molly Neal Weant, Lucile Harrison, and Mary Craver, all of whom were in the office. In the plant I saw Hazel Hilliard, Rebecca Kluttz, Grace Monroe, Frances Poole, ’and Margaret Rimer doing various things. Bill gave me a ride to town, and as we rode told me what some of our mutual friends were doing. (I was interested because I was doing nothing). It seems that Larry Hardin was a consulting aeronautical engineer with quite a reputation. Dick Crowder was an accountant with several secretaries—a sure sign of prosperity. There were Jean Goodson, Melva Jordan, Fannie Stokes, and a few more I didn’t know. John Hanford was doing well from all I could gather. He had quite a number of persons I knew in ,his florist business. Mary Brincefield. Margaret Forrest, and Mary White Gill all worked in his office, while in the warehouse and greenhouses worked Wesley Smith, Maurice Feinstein, and Graham Surratt as foreman. I left Bill when we got to town and went into the restaur¬ ant run by Margaret Jane Boyd, Odessa Bracken, and Elwanda Carter. After an excellent meal, even at the price I was able to pay, I wandered about town looking for someone to tlalk to. At Harry Parrish’s drug store I ran into some of my lawyer pals who were talking about their cases. There were Della Murdoch, Graham Carlton, and Martha Cline. I noticed a fine looking grocery store and out of pure, unadulterated “noseyness,” I wan¬ dered in. Imagine my surprise to find Lewis Alsobrooks, Jack Weisner, Sam Kesler. and Faye Brown handing out orders to a bevy of clerks. The mob was too much for me so I wrandered out again, a bit bruised and shaken, but with my curiosity satisfied. I appropriated an evening paper from a gentleman and found several ads for beauty shops. Jewel Heliard had one, also Helen Julian, and Rosalie Willard. Down at Macon Nicolas’ ice cream establishm ent I found Sam Garland, now an executive in the Bell Telephone Company. Out at the General Hospital I found Jimmy Hudson as a doctor. The efficient nursing staff contained Delervina Parks, Harriet Rogers, Janie Shue, and Mary Vann. My next visit was to Boyden to try to wheedle a few ref¬ erences out of the faculty. Some of the younger members of the faculty, just turning sixteen of course, were Sue Wellman, Sadie Sloop, Margaret Falk, and Lavinia Dalrymple. Leona Morgan was teaching piano to young Paderewskis. The teachers informed me that Norma Phelps and Jane Wilson were teaching in the gram¬ mar grades, and that Eleanor Omwake was teaching kindergarten. Up town again, I saw Don Clement in his Buick garage. He happened to state in the midst of a long conversation about the littlo woman at home, that Bert Morris had designed the new Buick for that year. Hearing a sudden scream of pain, I dashed hurriedly up the street only to find Clyde Young, now a success¬ ful (painless) dentist, tearing out a victim’s molars. In the other half of this building was Berry Jones’ barber shop. Having covered the town pretty well, with still no sign of a job, I headed for the country. In other words I went to Spencer. At the shops, I found Milton Shoaf waiting for his engine to be checked. Sam Mauney was the shop foreman. Beatrice Bassinger, I was told, was very happily married and living in East Spencer. Still further in the country I found a farmer, Walter Holshouser, who was very famous for his crops. Back in Salisbury, I found that Catherine Hardister and Evelyn Jacobs were working together as dietitians. Karl Rimer was doing a big business in window dressing. Elizabeth Weisner had been, for several years, taking the pictures of those handsome lads and lassies, the Boyden seniors. I heard it whispered around that Rosalie Cornelison was keeping the home fires burning for a hard working hubby. Calvert Correll was Salisbury’s big contractor. The men under him excelled in their various parts of the job of building. There was Walter Kincaid as chief carpenter, while George Shoe and Ham¬ ilton Withers shared honors in the electrical part. I left Salisbury early one morning by train. I can still re¬ member how uncomfortable those brake rods were. I was rudely, not to say roughly, thrown off at Greensboro. In my wanderings, I came across Mildred Barber, a beautician in this fair city; also I saw at a distance D’Ette McDaniel and Lillian Moore, both of whom I knew were secretaries. I met Bill Petrea and was informed by Bill that he was making an excel¬ lent livelihood selling, buying, and generally piecing together old jalopies. That night I was “pinched” for sleeping on a park bench, and after reposing in the jail for a few hours, I was taken to the city hall. There I was released with a warning to get out and stay out. It seemed that Lawrence Owen, a clerk in the city offices, had come to my assistance. 40 My next stop was Raleigh, where I was royally taken in by- Dick Coughenour, a reputable lobbyist, and James Bohannon, a physics professor at State College. I soon moved on to Durham, still hoping for a job. Mary Lentz was the first person I saw in Durham that I knew. She told me to try at Duke University, where I found quite a few of my old chums. There were doctors, surgeons, and technicians. I remember seeing Bette Chandler, George Devereux, Ruth Hubbard. Kempton Jones, Hannah Joseph. Bernetta Lingle, Edith Peeler, Mary Anna Peeler. Dorothy Plyler, Margaret Ritchie, Margaret Summersett and Frances Wolfe, all engaged in making the world safe for anyone and everyone through science. Traveling on, I made Richmond, where I had been told to look up Charles Clements, a very talented commercial artist. I learned from Charlie that Rachel Adams was a bookkeeper and Mary Ramsey and Doris Barber were secretaries there. He also told me that available job chances were scarce, so aga.n I moved on. At last I came to the capital city, Washington. I felt that I would find many friends there, and I wasn’t wrong. Janet Ayers and Ermine Williams were secretaries in the government offices. Also in governmental position were Bulan Fisher and Mose Rainey. Senator Philip Busby named a few of our mutual classmates who were also in the Capitol Building. There were Sarah Trollinger and Anna Troutman ; then there was Robert Hendrix, chief of the government inspection bureau. Martha Tucker was a member of the cab ' net, namely the Secretary of Labor. Katherine Cress was writing a syndicated column on Washington affairs, which gave the lowdown on the social circles. Dan Everest had a job as an engraver with the Washington Times Herald and was put¬ ting the best engravings in it that could be made. Riding the rods again, I was off to gay New York, almost my last hope of finding a job. There again I found friends, but jobs— phooey, they were scarce! The first thing I did upon arriving, was to head for the famous Dwight Holshouser-Francis Summers Night Club. Upon entering the door, I immediately recognized the hat-check girl as Thelma Michael. She said she would fix up a meal ticket for me with “Pepper,” so I took a table and sat down to watch the floor show Rena Mauney, the head waitress, sent over my dinner, as I watched Jean Moore, Nureldine Cauble, and Lillian Chandler, go through their routines. That night there wax to be a charity show in one of the big theaters. By means, known only to myself. I obtained a pass. In the show there were Elizabeth Ellington, fast becoming a great ballerina; Virginia Farabee and Nell Everette Nash, actresses; Mary George, famous violinist; and a swing band composed mainly of William Fulmer, Wade Conrad, and Milton Gupton. Another night club I managed to visit was one operated by Junior Bridges, and Johnny Julian, with Harold Thompson as bouncer. The fol¬ lowing day I went shopping, trying to find a little present to pick up. I met several clerks I knew. Among them were Grace Monroe, Sarah Trexler, Mary Elizabeth Mesimer, Milrad Smith, Johnny Russell, and Helen Waller. I also saw Robert Miller, the manager of a store, but he just told me that there were no jobs and let me journey on. I found that I knew two famous artists in New York: Ray Gene Adkins and Fannie Owen. Allen Ray was, with the help of Miriam Holshouser and Edith Julian, running an advertising agency. Pauline Arthur and Mary Louise Stewart were slowly- going crazy trying to satisfy women’s demands for frocks that are nothing like anybody else’s (the more fantastic, the better). I visited most of the hospitals look ' ng for my chums and of course, just incidentally, a job. At Bellevue I found Jean Logan and Ruth Satterwhite as dietitians. Managing the hospital was Char¬ lotte Hogge. The nurses told me that Dot Thomason was out at Mt. Sinai as a nurse; also there was Ruth Daniel. Herman Earn¬ hardt was the master medical m ' nd at this institution. Betty Eagan was a social worker in the same region. Belle Hicks Purvis, having gained a reputation as a writer, now resided in New York. She had kept up with some of our classmates in New York and so was able to tell me about a few. The business men of that c ' ty (she told me) were fortunate to have for secretaries such people as Margaret Barnhardt, Jane Gardner, Katherine Johnson, Mary Kimball. Clara Rusher, Mary Weddington, and Isabella Niven. She mentioned that Nancy Craig Summers and Virginia McKenzie were sob-sisters on the New York Times. Suzie Cope had become a housewife, and lived in the suburbs. Harold Walters was playing ball with the Yanks. It seemed that John Barringer was putting in air conditioning in all the big stores. Here Belle Hicks ran out of information, so I left. I picked up a ride with a gentleman going down the sea- coast, and as he was not very talkative, I thought back over what I had heard about those acquaintances who were scattered over the country, and about whom I had gradually built up a store of information. Daphne Ballard, Ben Holbrooks, and James Turner had established a travel tour of the United States and were mov¬ ing around with it. Ella Troy Woodson and Ella Marie Pinkston were traveling about giving piano and organ concerts. Adelaide Somers was a plane stewardess, and Jack Mask was a free lance news photographer. Elwood Hearn was a forest ranger in Mich¬ igan, while John Peeler was a salesman in the same state. Harold Lentz was a Diesel engineer in California. Clarence Tate and Henderson Ward were in the Army Air Corps in Texas. Sam Leonard was playing baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals. Jensen Earnhardt and Jack Wilhelm were radio engineers in Pittsburgh, and Darrell Perkins was running a resort hotel in Florida. Completely out of the country were Dot Wilson and Mary Lee Caldwell who were missionaries in Africa, and Margaret Bame. who was a dress designer in Paris. I continued with the silent gentleman until I reached An¬ napolis. There I said farewell and turned to the contemplation of the Navy. C. T. Kesler, Eddie Shoaf, and Hayes Rouzer were all officers here, in companionship with William Shaw, that daring, dare-devil with navy wings. Myrtle Campbell was a secretary in Annapolis at that time. It was while I was in Annapolis that I received a hurry-up telegram from John Krider stating that he had a job waiting for me as a chemical engineer. My speed in reaching him at Wilming¬ ton. Delaware, at the Dupont Munit ' ons Works, amazed even my¬ self. I found that Alfred Ramsey, as well as Johnny, had a job as a chemical engineer there. I got the job, and am now doing fairly well. This manuscript was written as a history of my travels and of what all my old friends are doing. It was written also for your own information, not for your insomnia. So it has been prophesied and so it shall be. REID CLARK. Prophet. -Hue 1939 41 MAY DAY King—Don Clement Queen—Bernetta Lingle -l I 42 ACTIVITIES ANNUAL STAFF ECHO JR. STAFF Miss Woodcock .
