ROBERT NEAL Senior Adviser MISS HELEN WHITLEY Senior Adviser r SENIORS SENIOR CLASS POEM The road we’ve traveled hasn’t been an easy one Nor a very, very difficult one either, you can bet, But we ' ve finally finished one lap of the way, And we’ve to finish the remaining ones yet. They won’t be as easy as the one we’ve passed, But we’ll all work with more zeal Until the future is all past and gone, And many of our dreams have become real. To all the students we’re leaving behind, Our best wishes for the future we leave. May they travel the road we’ve gone over before them And many more helps receive. Than we, who are leaving with many regrets And many more happy memories and thoughts Of the pleasant years we’ve spent here at school And of the many battles we’ve fought. To gain the places we now occupy and are giving up To the students who will take those positions To carry on the work we’ve left for them to do, That of studying hard, and keeping up old traditions. We, the Seniors are proud of our school And proud to be students here So for Cannon High School, you can always be sure We’re ready to give a lusty cheer. Though we are leaving, we’ll never forget, And our memories will always be clear Of the happy days we’ve spent at high school, And those memories will be held very dear. From year to year, as the years pass by, We’ll remember our high school days, And always, even in the latest years, Our school will receive our very highest praise. — By Gaynelle Cooke. 6 Charles Alexander Pep Club 1, 2 ; Varsity Football 3, 4 ; Bas- ketball Club 3; Junior Basketball 2; Mono- gram Club 4 ; Vice President of Commercial Club 4 ; First Aid Club 2 ; Baseball Club 3 ; Art Club 4 ; Intramural Sports 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Treasurer of Home Room 1, 2, 3, Helen Alexander Pep Club 1, 2 ; Intramural Basketball 1 ; Red Cross Representative 3 ; Commencement Marshall 2 ; Sub Deb Club 3 ; Typing Medal 3 ; Artistic Typing Club 4 ; Typist for Cannon Report 4 ; Hi-Y Club 4.

The country in which they settled was known as Cannon High School. These pilgrims banded together to form a new settlement. The members of this new settlement were known as Freshmen by the more experienced settlers. Every group, whether its members be seeking freedom, precious metals, or wisdom, must have leaders. Mr. J. W. Harbison was the chief leader of this tribe, and Mr. H. B. Baker, Mr. W. E. Alexander, Miss Lollie Boyd, Miss Estelle Farris, Mr. E. H. Lewis, Miss Mildred Hutchin- son, Mr. Guy Womble, and Mr. W. A. Masten were his assistants. This new land in which we had settled was run on democratic principles, so for this settle- ment Horace Robertson was elected president; Margaret Goodman, vice-president; and Ola Mae Barbee, secretary and treasurer. In our first year in this new country, a society, the Alpha Chi Sigma, was formed to honor worthy members of the whole country. Quickly a year passed, and the band of Freshman had advanced far enough in their search for knowledge that they were ready to occupy the territory just vacated by the Sophomores. In this new territory they were known by the name of their predecessors, the Sophomores. Again Mr. J. W. Harbison was the chief leader, but Miss Mary Parks Bell, Miss Margaret Boylan, Miss Margaret Franks, Miss Mary Gaffney, and Mr. J. D. Taylor had been chosen as assistants. Paul Kearns served as president. The Freshman year had been rough, and many had fallen by the way; but two hundred fourteen, ninety-one boys and one hundred twenty-three girls, held steadfastly to their goals. Another year sped by, and the seekers after wisdom had reached Junior territory. The Sophomore year had been difficult, and the tribe had dwindled in size to now number only one hundred thirty-six. During the third year Mr. John L. Dupree was chief leader, and Miss Margaret Boylan, Mrs. E. H. Lewis, Miss Helen Smith, and Mr. J. D. Taylor were counselors. In period three, Harold Patterson was president. Since the pilgrims had become accustomed to the land, the way was becoming easier so there was more time for recreation. The Juniors entertained the Seniors at a banquet at the Yadkin Hotel in Salisbury. They, in turn, entertained the Juniors at a Senior-Junior Party. The Student Council had as its guests delegates from other high schools to the State Student Council Congress. The lowly Freshmen had traveled so far in their search for increased knowledge, and had been so successful that now they were in the mightiest tribe of all, the Seniors. Mr. John L. Dupree was again chief leader, and Miss Loraine Gray, Miss Helen Whitley, Mrs. Julia McLendon Neal, and Mrs. John Oehler were counselors. Horace Robertson was pres- ident of the Seniors; Coralie Roberts, vice-president; Sarah Yates, secretary; and Murray Jack- son, treasurer. In this last year the Quill and Scroll, an honor society for the outstanding journalists, was inaugurated. Also in this year Student Administration Day had its beginning. A day exclusively for the Seniors was set aside in this, being called Senior Day. Period four was highlighted by many social functions. The Seniors entertained the Juniors at a Senior-Junior Party. A most enjoyable event was the Barn-Warming, but the outstanding social event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. With the close of epoch four, our journey through the country of Cannon High School is over, but wider and more difficult fields lie before us. As we go into the world we must conquer each arising difficulty, as here we have conquered the old, so that at the very end each of us can proudly say: “I came, I saw, I conquered.” — Myra Wilson. V , ' ■% . li i { 21 PROPHECY Lights! Laughter! Loud Noise! Happy voices! It’s all a beautiful mix-up of loud noise and savory smells. Where am I? Why, I’m at the circus of course and having a wonderful time. What’s that?? Why, it’s the Crazy House!! Am I going in? Why certainly. Inside I feel perfectly at home and at once head for the department of mirrors with full speed. CRASH!!! A loud noise, people talking, broken glass falling everywhere, and me???? Why, I’m floating away on a beautiful soft, snowy, cloud. I hear the sweetest music and a million birds singing all at one time. Where am I?? Well, I’m sitting way up on top of a cloud and looking down on all my former classmates! I see Our former class president, Horace Robertson is now the District Attorney of New York and Nancy Long is employed as his secretary. Mr. Robertson is a nation-wide success and is expected to run for president in the next election. His success is partly due to his political manager, Charles Alexander. Out in Hollywood I see our old friend Harold Patterson playing the lead in all of the newest western pic- tures. The “Lone Ranger” seems to have faded away and in his place is “Harold,” the delight of all the kiddies, with his famous “Hi ho Cleo!” (Cleo is a Camel). Clifford Fowler also went to Hollywood and after Hedy Lamarr took one look at him she divorced her husband. Avanelle Williford is doing all right for herself modeling for maga- zine covers, while Ann Lynn McDonald, who is now a red -head and Doris Lindsay, a confirmed brunette, are the newest advertisers for Max Factor Make-Up. Up in New York, Jack Bassinger has become the chief cartoonist for the N. Y. Times with G. F. Coble as his assistant. Working on the same paper staff is Frankie Patterson, Sports Editor; Dorothy Ann Bell, a famous war correspondent over in Europe; and Myra Wilson, who is the Society Editor. Mike Yorke is now in a training camp in Chicago, with his manager Earl Correll, preparing for a meet with Joe Lewis, who is still the world’s champion boxer. “Hoby” Ellison is now a big league pitcher while Jamima Powell is a physical education director in an exclusive school in Southern California. Margaret Goodman is now the Dean of Boys in an outstanding college in Alabama. She is apparently in love with her “work.” Mildred Heintz is now a teacher of economics in our own K. H. S. (Mr. Hudson, after having taught the class of ’40, resigned and absolutely refused to have anything more to do with economics or sociology.) In the business world, I see John Dial and Carl Fisher as the successful owners of a pigeon farm in Maine. Working with them are Tilford Sanford, Mary Elizabeth Johnson, Horace Crowe, and Shirley Tate. These famous people are supplying carrier pigeons for the war in Europe which is still raging. Speaking of the war, I notice Harold Sides, John Perry, and Paul Upright have enlisted to help the Allies. Over in our own country Annie Reece has established a home for the war refugee children. Serving along ' with her as nurses are Ruby Rogers, LaNell Shuckle, Virginia Collins, and Elizabeth Smith. The advertising field has been given a splendid break as I see Gaither Critz modeling men’s sports clothes in all the leading magazines of the country, while Janis Day vault is advertising tooth paste in a flashing way. Since Grade Allen and George Burns have retired from the radio and screen, two of our former classmates have followed in their footsteps only to be more successful and more popular throughout the country. Can you imagine who they are? None other than Nell Price and J. C. Safrit. Another successful radio team is Wynema Honeycutt and Jim Russell, who sponsor a Dance Club featuring C. L. Maulden and his famous orchestra, with Thelma Furr as guest artist when the Opera House can spare her. A large number of our classmates have taken that fatal step. Among them are Bernice Winecoff, Frances Scarboro, Laura Lewis, and Eunice Lovett, whose Army Romeo finally returned. Here’s wishing them a most successful life with their respective husbands. Nan Dulaney has been married six times, divorced five, and is now vacationing in Reno, if you get what I mean. Some people have a hobby of collecting antiques and others stamps, but Nan’s hobby is evidently collecting husbands. Up in New Jersey Julia Thompson has opened a music shop with W. A. Ritchie as her manager. Virginia Hartness is now the leader of a famous all-girl orchestra which is at the present touring the continent. Also located in New Jersey is the “Photo Shop” which is managed by Alta Linn and Blonnie Pethel. 22 In the recreational field Coralie Roberts and Ruth Torrence now own the world’s largest and most successful ice skating rink. Assisting them in teaching folks to skate are “Dot” Murph, who is now Sojna Henie’s newest com- petition, Jackie Rogers, Dorothy Walters, Robert Poston and Joe Douglas. All the leading newspapers are now carrying the story of the two famous explorers, Murray Jackson and Walter Goodman, who recently sailed to Africa to try to uncover the buried treasures of the famous chieftain, Lukijiye Zwkiev. Ronald Huss and James McCall are the proud owners of the famous “Circus of Entertainment.” In the circus is Carol Overcash, brave and fearless lion tamer. Hoyle Efird and his famous dogs that are almost “human,” Ruby Morgan, the dazzling bareback rider, Lillian Cassell, who owns a hot dog grill, Marvel Teal, who is a jockey in the “Steeple Chase Races,” and Lucille Safrit, featured as a snake charmer. The X. Y. Z. Club has just recently opened in Chicago with Karl Fisher as the manager; Frances Powell, as the hostess; and Homer Fisher, as the bouncer. Buddy Munday turned out to be a glamour boy and is hitting all the high spots along Broadway at the present. The newspapers are playing up the contest sponsored by the National Broadcasting Company, in which they are to select “Miss Television.” Estelle Peele and Betty Dellinger, two of our former classmates, are contestants and are running right up at the top of the list. If you were to turn on your radio about 10:15 you would have the pleasure of hearing a dramatic serial en- titled “Live and Let Live” written by Julia Driver, the famed author and being dramatized by Helen Alexander, Ray Lamb, Mabel Stirewalt, J. D. McCorkle, and Maxine Lumsden. Gaynelle Cook, who wrote our class poem, has turned out to be the poet of the age! Why even the best critics of England concede that she out-Shakespeares their own Shakespeare! After finishing college Bobby McClary just naturally went in for reforms. He’s reformed the schools, the churches, police, movies, radio, the heathen, and now he has turned his attention to foreign relations. So now if the world isn’t a better place to live in, it certainly isn’t Bobby’s fault.

Suddenly I realized that this was all of my classmates that graduated in the class of ’49 and I was very startled to see next the vague image of my own face! I had been permitted to know the future of all my class- mates; and now only my fate remained. What would it be? Eagerly I leaned forward to gain a clearer view of my activities in the future when CRASH!!! and I realized that I was being soused with water, and also I was back in the circus. People were talking very loudly, a man was trying to push the crowd back so I could get some air. Suddenly and a little foolishly I realized that I had run into the mirror and had been knocked out, also I was very disappointed because I knew that my future must remain unknown. But at the same time I was very happy to think that all of my former classmates were so successful and K. H. S. should be very proud of each member of the class of ’40 because each and every one has made a name for himself in the world.
