Y A LXXXXXXXXXAA ryxXXXXXXjQpUWVxX History of Class ’27 T T T K of the Class of ’27 know well the history of our high school career. The successes, failures, joys, and sorrows are imprinted on the minds of each one of our number. Xo doubt our minds will often revert to the scenes and events of our school life at our Alma Mater during the past four years. However as we go out from here into different environments, we wish to take with us a record so that others may really know tin paths our class have trod; hence we place before you the storv in four volumes. On the first you see engraved an anchor, emblem of hope; for our hopes and aspirations were high, when in the fall of ’23 we met as a group of Freshmen and organized, with Mildred Jones as our president, and with Miss Thornton as our able adviser. Certainly we needed a competent guide to point out the unknown pathway before us. Volume 11 hears a heart imbedded in its cover, telling of the love which hound us together. Since working toward the same goal we learned to go hand in hand with sympathy and understanding. We had caught the high school spirit and prided ourselves on reaching this second step—the Sophomore year. Again we needed willing helpers. For this we chose Maxwell Garner as president and Mr. Dalton as our Facultv adviser. Volume 111 carries a cross signifying the faith and courage gained along the way. As we had gained confidence, we now felt that we would endure to the end and 1m prepared to take up more difficult tasks. Belvin Blalock was selected President and Miss Harville director. This mile was not so hard, for in the distance was a glimpse of our Senior year. On the last volume we display a palm-emblem of triumph and victory, and al- though some of our original hand have not followed us on to the end, we stand thirty- three in number. We realized that the long-looked-for goal was nearby, so Beivin Blalock, having shown his ability as leader in our Junior year, was again chosen counselor. It seems impossible that this trying part of the journey could have been overcame without the faithfulness and untiring efforts of Mr. Paper, our Faculty adviser. Closing this last volume, we the class of ’27 will our love and promise to ever be true to our dear Alma Mater. Kmookxk Baitom, Historian. Twenly-six Class Prophecy AFTER graduating in law and practicing that profession a few years, I gave it up to lecture for a well-known traveling Chautauqua. Since I have been with this Chautauqua. I have traveled many of the states; and in my travels I have met or read some interesting articles about each member of the class of '27. From time to time I have written something about them in my little diary, which I call The Diary of the Class of ’27. Who would have thought that the class of ’27 would have made its mark in the world so early? My diary was completed the other night when I spent the night with Philip Jones, a prosperous farmer, living near Cary, North Carolina. I pulled it from my pocket and gave it to Philip and this is what he read aloud to Mrs. Jones and family: July 21. 1934—Today I read an interesting article in the American Magazine by a well-known writer. Miss Clareene Murray of Jackson. Mississippi, about B. N. Blalock, a well-known lawyer of Philadelphia, and his world famous “Scrapbook. October 23. 1934—Today I was surprised at this head-line which was written across the sport sheet of the New York World: Yale's victory over Princeton was due to the shrewd coaching of Coach Irony Fletcher Turner. October 26, 1934—Today I read the following advertisement in the Progressive Farmer: Pure-bred White Leghorns for sale; address Manager Walter Stevens. Templeton Poultry Farm. Cary. North Carolina.” November 5, 1934—In Dayton, Ky., I visited Johnnie Lee Hester's Poultry Farm. Johnnie Lee’s birds won first prize at the Kentucky State Fair. November 15, 1934—While strolling down Main street in Goldsboro, N. C.. I met Foye Hodge in front of her beauty parlor. I went into the beauty parlor and found Lois Ellington getting a permanent wave. November 25, 1934—Today as 1 came out of the Portage Hotel in Akron. Ohio, I met Bessie Allen and Bessie Watson. They invited me around to look over their hat shop at 341 East Market Street. They informed me that Mildred Jones was private secre- tary of the Goodrich Rubber Company. December 1. 1934- I went to the Keith-Alabee Theater in Pittsburg. Pa., this evening and was greatly surprised when William Smith walked out on the stage and sang “Fairy Land.” The music of the evening was furnished by the Jackson Orchestra, Joyner Jackson director. December 10, 1934—Today when I stepped off the train in Wheeling. W. Va., I met Miss Hallie Dry, who was in Wheeling on business for the North Carolina State Board of Education. She told me that she was planning to spend the Christmas holidays with Hazel Reams, who is now the wife of a prominent lawyer of Columbia. S. C. December 15, 1934—As I was crossing the street in Richmond. Va.. this morning. I met William Pleasants, owner of the largest drug store in Richmond. As we were stand- ing there talking, a large truck came by, with the name Ellington Wholesale House on the side of it. William told me that Laverne Ellington was the owner of a large wholesale house in town.

Mil L. E. Rapeil Class Poem I rK'VE had our toils, dreams and fears. Hardships we have had. We’ve worked through rain, smiles, and tears; Rewards for which we’re glad. These four long years have passed away; Our high school days are done. We graduate this golden day; The goal we've sought is won. Behind us are our high school days. Ahead of us are toil and strife; And so may we do always The things that count in life. And though we’ve reached the longed for goal. May others now be set.

As for the members of the team, only three letter men from last year's eleven returned for the season ‘26. But under the supervision of Coach Smith and with the untiring efforts of Captain Fetner, the rest of the eleven with the new material was soon made into a machine. This fact was proved in the year's record.

Candidates for Tennis Sixty-six Class Prophecy (Continued from page 27) December 20. 1924—I learned from Elizabeth Smith, the wife of a well known physician of Danville. Va.. that Pansy Rogers was happily married to one of the leading ministers of Knoxville. Tenn. January 5. 1935—While I was in Denver, Colorado. I met an old friend, Annie Hayes, who is directing gymnastics and coaching athletics in the Colorado College for women. Annie deserves such a position. She was an excellent athlete in high school. January 21, 1935— I was up to the office of the St. Louis Daily News today on a business errand and was glad to learn that Katie Blanchard was the editor of the society page of the paper. February 11. 1935—I met Addie Mae Kendall in Wilmington. N. C.. and she told me that she was teaching Home Economics in the New Hanover High School. Addie Mae showed me a letter she had from Pansy Moore who is head nurse at Johns Hopkins Hospital. February 29, 1935—Wilson Farrell is chief of police of Miles City. Montana. Wilson told me that only a few days ago one of his men arrested a lady for speeding. To his surprise he learned that the lady before her marriage was Miss Una Mae Davis. She and her husband were traveling through Montana on their honeymoon. March 8, 1935—I congratulated Frank Fetner who is an interior decorater in Miami, Florida. He told me he was happily married and living in a little white house at the end of Honeymoon Lane.” March S. 1935—Today when I went down to the harbor in New York City I met Wava Keith, who sells tickets for the White Star Line. Wava told me that she had just sold several tickets to Hattie Mae Bagwell who was directing a class of University students abroad. April 10. 1936—Who should the fine looking gentleman that I sat by in a theater in Iowa City. Iowa, be other than Raymond Bagwell, a professor of agriculture in the University of Iowa. 1 learned from Raymond that Paul Smith was teaching agriculture in the University of Washington. April 27, 1936—When walking down Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington. I). C.. I read this sign on a window; Miss Baucorn’s Studio. I dropped in to have a little chat with Emogene, who is now a successful violin teacher. May 18. 1936—Today I spent a few minutes with Alex Houston in his studio in San Pedro. California. Alex is famous as a dancing master. Philip had now finished reading my Diary, and as he handed it to me he said. I wish I could live again those happy days of '27. If old age could only tell, if youth but knew?” As I took the Diary from Philip and put it in my pocket I tried to cheer him up with these words: Youth with its romance and the love of life, adventure glow- ing in the setting sun, going—changing—moving. The lure of mystic dreams—endless plains and golden days to come. Going somewhere—going happily. Such is life, such is life.” Caki. Bowdkx, Class Prophet.

It has been the privilege of the Edwards Broughton Company to interpret the ideas of the Staff and create in material form their vision. From the art work and engravings to the finished book, this volume is the result of organized cooperation with the Staff. Such able cooperation is one of the visions which precede the building of a successful business, and is a part of the working policy of tho Edwards Broughton Company. To those Staffs desiring complete co- operation from art work and engravings to the finished book, we offer unexcelled service. Complete service means undivided responsibility as to the result—one organ- ization to correspond and talk with-—one trained director to merge the many ingre- dients into the finished product. fou. too, may be proud of your annual.
