 Ue. CluiAlUcut Class Prophecy Good morning, everyone. This is Howard Bond here In Charlotte to tell you all about the homecoming of the famous graduating class of 1937. They have gathered here to see once more the school from which they graduated before it is torn down and replaced by a modern, glass brick building. Robert Bush is the man responsible for the new school. Coming to Char- lotte two months ago for a vacation from his job as radio engineer with R. C. A.. Mr. Bush saw that the high school did not meet the needs of the students of 19St . With characteristic swiftness he Influenced the townspeo- ple to vote in favor of a new building. There certainly is a crowd here for this homecoming. I Just saw Martha Peters Kilian. Detroit society leader, and Catherine Dumer. a buver for Marshall Field s in Chicago. Perhaps Helen Rogers, who won the Pulitzer prize for her recent novel. Come With the Breeze, will say a few words over the microphone later in the day. Don- ald Richey, foreign correspondent, who wrote a series of articles on the Italian revolution last month, just disappeared around a corner of the building. Take Kiplinger’s Tonic It is amazing how young all of these people look. Their average age must be about 67. But Junior Mellor. gossip columnist of the Detroit Times. told me the other day that most of them take I)r. Eva Jeane Klpllnger’s youth tonic regularly. Dr. Kiplinger is now working In collaboration with Dr. Jack Kilian on a t.nic to prevent worrying of all kinds. Just rounding the corner is Harold Maurer with his prize cow which he keeps with him constantly. His last cow was stolen just after It won the $5,000 prize at the Eaton county fair. “There is Sam Combs who sells that famed Combs Creamy Cream. His contented cows number 1,507 at pres- ent. Everyone seems to lie going to the gymnasium now where there will be dancing and refreshments. Take It away. 'Pete'.” Taylor's Orchestra Plays Hello, folks. This Is Myrl 'Pete' Granger broadcasting from the gym- nasium of the high school where these graduates of ’37 are begln- n ng to dance. 'Duff' Taylor and his old time swing orchestra, the famous group that you hear every Friday evening over N. B. C.. are furnishing the dance music. Bob Taylor, who played in his brother’s orchestra dur- ing high school days, now owns a chain of drug stores extending over the United States and Canada. Hold everything, folks. I see Harlo Dewey, a former Tiger pitcher, over by the orchestra. Oh-oh. that world-famous foreteller of the future. Alice Jo Oldt. Just dan- ced by in the arms of Don Itousb. winner of several Olympic medals for | his swift running. Miss Oldt bus a professional name. She calls herself Mme. Zara. “We understand that President Douglas Reister will be here this after- noon. but as yet he has not arrived. Probably he Is having more trouble with Werlin Love, president of the American Federation of Labor. Charles Jacobs, well-known New York minister, is talking earnestly with Ruth Baas in a corner near here. Miss Baas is a language professor at the University of Michigan and a strong advocate for an international language. Mary Amspacher. who is commer- cial teacher here in Churlotte high school; Kathleen Rolfe. editorial writer President s Message When we. who are about to graduate and leave those familiar scenes which we have learned to love so well, look liack at our four years of high school experiences, there are many pleasant memories of happy days spent in the pursuit of knowledge and hnppiness. in the latter at least we were successful. We. the class of 37, having the distinction of being the first class to 1h graduated from the new building ure Justly proud, although with the tearing down of the old one some of our fondest memories were destroyed. In behalf of our class I wish to thank the teachers who have so unselfishly given us their very best for the good of the class. As we look at the faces of our dearest friends and teachers we cannot help hut feel a little downhearted at the thoughts of leaving them, hut let us hope our friendships carry on after our school life has become a thing of the past. Seniors, as we come to the close of our high school careers and we say goodbye to all of our high school associates, let us join in the serious business of making a livelihood with the same zest as we have entered our school activities In move “Onward and Upward.” for the Chicago Tribune', and Gerald Stanke. a wealthy New York stock broker, are conversing animatedly at one of the tables lining the wall. Now the private secretary to Gov- ernor Kenneth Rogers. Mary Murray, and State Senator Frank Dickinson are Joining the group. Canfield Solves Bradley Case Remember the notorious kidnap- ping of Werlin Bradley, the Texas cat- tle king, last winter? Well. Phyllis Canfield, the lady detective who solved that mystery, is here today, and so is Mr. Bradley. An entertainment by some of these '37 graduates seems forthcoming. Aud- rey Cox and Roliert Allen. Jr., that famous radio and screen comedy team, have started their usual nonsensical chatter to the delight of the audience. Dorothy Rann. a former movie queen, will do a sketch from her last show, and Elmer Conard will play some of the songs he has made fam- ous with his guitur. Ned Bryan and Raymond Putman, owners of the B. P. Sports Equip- ment stores, and Jack Davis, state P. W. A. administrator, are discussing themerits of the new high school athletic field which is being planned. Now George Collins, who has l een coach at Charlotte high school for several years, has joined in the dis- cussion. “A trio of New Yorkers are sitting quietly at one of the tables. Virginia Riley, a tall, slender model from one of the most exclusive shops. Is one of this group. So are Margaret Anne Le- Roy. business manager for the Sew York Daily, and Patricia Higby, com- mercial artist whose pictures so often adorn the cover‘of Colliers. K'nntlnuril on next page.) past, and I'm sure we will forever ROBERT BOBIER. President of the Class of '37. Our Bid for Success ’Twas In the dark depression days of 1933 that the class of 37 first ac- cepted the responsibility and pleasures that were to make up their high school career. For their freshman year the class elected Evelyn Huber as president; Peter Barnhart, vice president; Edna Zanger, secretary; and Jack Kilian. treasurer. Mrs. Jay Dykhouse. nee Mary Carland. and Miss Helen Wueb- ben were the class advisers for the year. The next fall they returned, as eager as ever to take over their share of the work and fun found In sehool ac- tivities. Douglas Reister acted as president, assisted by Harlo Dewey, vice president; Samuel Combs, secre- tary; and Marthagene Biggs, treasur- er. Mrs. Alleen Combs and Miss Eliza- beth Krleger piloted the group through Its sophomore year. In the junior year. Douglas Reister was re-elected president. Other offi- cers chosen were: Rol ert Bolder, vice president; Kathryn Willis, sec- retary; and Richard Taylor, treasurer. The junior play. Mountain Mumps”, produced under the able direction of Mrs. Alleen Combs and Terence Flower was a decided success. In May the group gave the traditional junior-senior prom for their departing senior friends. This, their last year, the class Is following many of the changes estab- lished by the class of 36. All through the year the finance committee with tin class advisers, Mrs. Marena Kip- linger and Karl Mead. has introduced several ways of making mutiny for the senior trip. as. for example, the selling of football pins. Christmas Concluding Activities Begin Sunday, June 13 Concluding activities of the y«-ur for the senior class will begin Sunday night with the baccalaureate services in the high school auditorium. Clu .» Night on Wednesday and Comm-m . tnent Thursday will also Ik held it the high school. The Reverend George Mooers of tne Methodist church will deliver the baccalaureate address.

The speak- ing parts are: the instructor. Martha- gene Biggs; a foreign youth, Putricia Higby; the historian. Robert Allen; the spirit of education. Eva Jean Kip- linger; and Christianity. Alice Jo Oldt. There will also Ik many other seniors participating in the play. Gene King will direct a ballet dance by sixteen girls. The salutation will be given by Vera Snake.

In just a short time now the seniors will receive their long sought diplomas, and then they will go forth to conquer all the wonders and glories of this fast-moving modern world. May all those familiar faces of teachers and schoolmates Ik forever impressed up on their minds, and the friendships established continue through the long years to come. So It is that another graduating duss passes on Into a dimly outlined future. Page ft
