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. (Continued on page 67)

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
