HlI,I,1l-'li L ibm Senior Poem A few short singing rimes--can they express The spirit of this graduating class? Who can catch it and chain it between the pages Of a book? Vkfho can make this come to pass? I can't. I have no words to say things That should be said about the students Going out. No words of mine can tell of Their ideals and faith and hope and prudence. I tried to write a witty, stinging Couplet Whose meaning cracked like the sound of a rifle-shot5 But the Vacant, clanging Words reminded me Cf a spoon in an empty stew-pot. Oh, they'll laugh at this poem in later years, And the paper it's written on will rot and tear5 But the spirit that's borne in a song on the spring Winds Will still be heard when the Winter earth is bare.

l l i l l xi IlIl.l,l lflv 1040 Senior History-Comtinuea' test. The football team has also made an outstanding record, having won four out of the five games played. I hate to see this year end, for only one more remains. After being in high school three years, I can hardly imagine what it will be like not to be in school. Rushing to school by 8:30, attending classes until 3:30, with a few club meetings and a little lunch sandwiched in between-all has become such a part of us that we have almost forgotten that anything else exists. Much love, ELLEN SMITH June Z, 1940 Dearest janet, Here's a note from a soon-to-be-graduate. Charles Gooch was elected President of the Senior Class by an overwhelming majority. One of the first things to be brought up in our class meetings was the possibility of having an annual. VVhen we finally got permission from Mr. Honeycutt and the board, we elected Frances Bason editor. This year our literary magazine, Tlze Scroll, made its iirst appearance. Daphne Athas has done a commendable job as editor of this publication. VVe have the Proconian as usual, but many improvements have been made in it under the editorship of Ditzi Buice. For class colors we chose blue and silver and carried these out in the color scheme of the Annual. This year we were carrying on our study of professions under the able leadership of Miss Benton. Then came the tragedy of our high school career. Miss Benton had to leave us for a much needed rest. However, we still have Mr. Conrad and Mrs. Bowden. The Senior play was really an outstanding success. Groccing Pains was given under the direction of Mrs. Peery. The leading roles were played by Ashwell Harward, Mary-Louise Huse, and jane Anderson. I'll write and tell you more, janet, when its all over, but right now the members of the class of '40 are slightly confused. After four years in our beloved school, we will hardly know how to do without it, so it is with a heavy heart we say adieu. Soon our experiences here will be only memories, but with us they will dwell as one of the most enjoyable chapters of our life. Love always, ELLEN SMITH VERNA SUITT, , t Class Plislorian ff 4. ti' Page Tutfllfj'-IEf'B7Z 1 V X il ' - w , Xll l .lt ' gif ...Z i , wrgnf '+- ' T- -,k f

llll.l.llVl'l e 1941i Class Prophecy May 7, 1960 Today I decided to go back to Chapel Hill and look up all my old friends from C. H. H. S. and have a class reunion. As I looked up all my class mates I found that: The handsome Bill Thompson is in Hollywood still trying to get the role of Rhett Butler playing opposite that famous screen personality Scar- lett O'Hara Buice. Hilda VVeaver is now directing a school of physical culture. She is giv- ing courses in VVays to Gain VVeight. Gaynor May and Hilda Smith are her faithful pupils. Billy Nlorrison is the newly elected truant officer for C. H. S. He is also the proud father of live daughters, their names are Bebe, lVIaXine, Leona, Edna, and Dot. Frances Bason is the new President of the Alcohol Bottlers' Association. She has just defeated that famous temperance leader Frank Ross. Dick Hobbs tried for many years to build up forests and grow trees, however the only thing he was ever able to grow was a beard. Now he is inventing a Lipstick Remover. Lila Mae Lasley, Janie Neville and Cora Atkinson are now radio stars. The trio is singing with Sammy Andrews' famous orchestra. Thomas Freeland is now the water-boy for the Yankees. He will probably get another promotion in the next ten years. Nlarvin Hogan, State District Attorney, is now trying to convict joe Burt Linker for bootlegging. joe Burt's lawyer, Bruce Collins, however, is hold- ing his own. Carol Cobb is a horse-doctor in Tennessee. Dan Hamilton is being treated in her hospital for old age. - Two-gun Gooch and four-gun Sloan are reorganizing their mob in Dur- ham. Two of their stooges are Doc Ellington and Bruce Varner. Everett Cheek is a professor at U. N. C. He has started a course in hypnotism. His only pupil, Verna Suitt, is doing nicely, he says. Jane Anderson, Alliene Brawley, Polly Durham, and Margaret Pickard are still trying to pass Home-Ec. They expect to graduate in June. Daphne Athas is making quite a name for herself in Literary Circles. Her latest story in True Confessions made a big hit. Jewell Hogan is the cigarette girl at Edwin Riggsbee's and Horace Mc- Cauley's Nite Club in New York.
