I960 I pondered, as J my eye rested upon a small desk calendar in my room in the Philippine Islands. 1935—1960— Think of it! Nearly twenty-five tears since our graduation from Charlotte high school. “We had such high ambitions. I mused. I just wonder if we were all able to realize them?’ I had attained my goal, and'for fifteen years had been engaged in public health health nursing in the Philippine Islands. Suddenly the idea snapped in my brain. I'm going home!” I'm going back to Charlotte to be there on the twenty-fifth anniversary or gradu- ation. Only the fastest means of trav could get me to Charlotte in two day so on the morning cf June 15. ju as the tropical sun arose in tl heavens. I stepped into mv am gravitational Stratariau. which the way. was perfected by two my classmates. Byron Fields ai Charles Hamilton. Taking a supply of Vita Vim. tl most nour shing of concentrate foods, which is recommended I Virginia Paine, world famous diet nan, I arose to an altitude of 65,0i feet, parked myself on a stratasphe ian highway and prepared to beg the fourteen hour wait necessary f. the earth to rotate fo that positit when I could descend to Charlotte. As I waited the soft sweet stra'i of an orchestra drifted through tl ether. Imagine my surprise aft thoroughly enjoying the program learn that the conductor was noi rwi I?- ,'hal old “««■• Wen Charles Fielder. ‘ thought my calculations mu certa.nly be wrong when I landed a city with elevated trains and gia sky sera pecs. The first thing I would do. I decide was to make a visit to the home of tl mayor. I was not at all surpr’si to learn that he was none other thi Wendell Moore. Considering his hit school record Pete could not ha done otherwise. I drove with the mayor in a ne Packard 12 to his beautiful home the suburbs of the metropolis for dl ner. We were greeted at the ga by a charming lady whom I win never have recognized as Theln Burns. The mayor introduced Edward Cheney, founder and Editor of the Charlotte Times, southern Michigan’s most famous daily newspaper, as toastmaster for the evening. The program consisted of each individual telling or demonstrating his success in life. Mr. Cheney introduced the staff of his paper, most of them Journalism students from the class of 1935. Richard Mason, the little hoy who was always wanting an assignment, answered to the call of city editor. Dwight Burner responded as sports editor and Teresa Hale as editor of the Woman’s section.

Kathleen Granger and lA?ora Philips, a famous dance trio of the Cameron Follies presented some of their latest dance hits as part of the entertainment of the evening. Of course the director of the show can he none other than the high school shiek. Douglas Cameron. Kathryn Burkett Is a famous woman novelist.

In those messages the executives have expressed their gratitude and appreci- ation to the faculty for the instruction that their respective classes ha e re- ceived in the Charlotte public schools. This year I wish to join with those past presidents in expressing the same wholehearted thanks to the teachers who have so unselfishly ex- pended their efforts for the gain of the student body—but more than that I wish to express, on behalf of the graduating class, my most heartfelt gratitude to those parents who have given us the opportunity to learn— and to cultivate lasting friendships. Seniors, as we come to the close of our high school careers, let us sin- cerely pledge ourselves to partly repay this debt by making a complete SUCCESS out of our future lives. Robert Stine, President of Class of 1935 Page $
