ne CHflRHIfln fENICCf President's Message As we are drawing to the close of our four years in high school, it is fitting that we pause to look back over those past four years of fun. work, and friendship. We have completed our high school course, usually trying to do our best. Then may we face the big part of our lives with the same high purpose, but with added ambition. We have formed many new friendships which have been a source of inspir- ation. After graduation may all these friendships continue, but with renewed energy. On behalf of the class of 38. we wish to thank each member of the faculty who has had a part in guiding and advising the activities of our class. Only the future can prove the worth of their time, patience, and helpfulness. In closing, the whole senior class of 38 joins in wishing those classes that are to follow, as much fun, happiness, and success as we have had, under the guidance of our most worthy and faithful advisers. Mrs. Marena Kiplinger. and Earl Mead. DALE BRYAN. President of the Class of '38. Class Prophecy It is a bright November day in 1958. The «‘litire Charlotte high school class of 1938 and several thousand other energetic rooters are present at the »111,11.1) Eaton Kaplds-Charlotte foot- ball game. Phyllis Archer, secretary of 'h alumni association, spent near- ly .i year In ferreting out the mem- bers of the class of '38 and making ure that all of them would be present. four reporters, who were assigned lo write this brief summary of the iImIuks of the class of ’38. are Dorothy Otto and Sidney Nielsen. Dorothy is owner of a winning string of race horses at the Hi-Ho race track in Miami, and Sidney is editor of Esquire, that famous magazine for men (?) only Record Crowd Present Now the great day has finally dawn- ed and a record crowd has gathered in Charlotte » new million dollar Htad- ium designed by architect Richard Mauicom. From the press box we can see Harold McGinnes and William Reefmau setting up their candid tele- photovision transmitter with which they will take intimate views of the crowd for the National Television Company's hookup. Nearby we see Dale Mason getting his portable broadcasting set ready for a play by play description of the game. Coach Gail Cheney of Charlotte has predicted that the game will be a close one as the two teams are very evenly matched. Superintendent of Schools William Garvey stated: If Charlotte wins this game they will have won their fifth straight game with Eaton Rapids . We now leave the press box to see if we can catch a glimpse of some of our fellow classmates. As we start out we find Goldie Golden, the famous woman lawyer, who won the notorious •Flea” Jones dognapping case last year, with Ruth Lay. Chicago society matron, and Kstella Parker. National Camp Fire Girl’s Guardian, chatting together as they wait for the game to commence. Next we find Frank Kline, county agriculture agent and perfecter of Kline's Kow Kure for dyspeptic calves, talking over old times with Donald Riley, world's champion hog raiser whose prize Poland hogs have taken every prize but the door prize at the Eaton County Fair for years. Travelers Home From Abroad Barbara Hamilton, noted Parisian gown designer and Marjorie Riley, her friend, who has been on a piano con- cert tour of the European continent for the past two years, are seen in the distance reminiscing with Herr Dale Bryan. internationally known Vienese brain surgeon and Wayne Cottrell, plant superintendent of Gen- eral Motor's California Airplane fac- tory. That benefactor of mankind and regurrector of Jacob Van Vessem's fast diminishing hair. Clarence Jane, inventor of El Busho hair tonic and professor of chemistry at the Univers- ity of Michigan, rises excitedly from his seat as the starting gun of the game sounds. The first quarter ends with the score still tied at 0-0. During the lull between quarters we see Dora Wilkin- son. Dean of women at Smith College; Dale Albin, head lighting technician f«»r Consumers power company of I an- mk. and his wife. Helen Zeiss Albin. • heartily joining in the dheen for c. H. S. As the second quarter starts we notice several late arrivals coming in. As we approach we find them to Ross Belyea. of Belyea’s Better Breezes air conditioning company, with Hilda Kelly, renowned nursing «‘Xpert; Mury Maxine Richey, editor of the New York Times; and Clare Weaver, operatic star whose last per- formance of Faust brought so many curtain calls that the curtains gave up in despair and stayed open for the rest of the evening. Their plane was delayed while air hostess Janice Green and pilot Clare Tharp took time out to be married. Morey Makes Touchdown At the half we find Charlotte ahead by a score of 6-0. Eddie Morey, Jr., son of Edward Morey, former mayor of C. H. S. and Gene King Morey, made the touchdown. Among the dense crowd gathered around the refreshment stand we find Jessie Bradley, private secretary and press agent for James Fairchild’s Gi- gantic Janitors Supply company; Ade- laide DuBois. dietician at the Kellogg sanatorium; and Junior Grier, secre- tary of agriculture. Jack Garlinghouse. head photo- grapher for Life magazine, who is noted for his super-candid camera shots, is also being refreshed.

Charlotte Kroger Store manager; and George Fullerton, a successful dairy farmer. With them are Lois McIntyre, founder of the McIntyre’s Crispy. Crunchy Cookies for Critical Kiddies company; Harley Flower, horticulturist and second Luther Burbank; Hazel Davis. Char- lotte beautician: and John Butler, owner of Butler’s Snippy.

Rainbow Girl. on the new stage provided quite a thrill for the class of '38. The other high spot of the year was the giving of the tra- ditional junior-senior prom for the class of '37. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Marena Kiplinger and Earl Mead they have had a very busy and worthwhile senior year. Money mak ng plans have been drawn up by an efficient finance committee with the help of the officers elected at the first of the year. They are: Dale Bryan, president: Doreen Nicol, vice president; Lorene Steinman, secretary; and Jack Gar- linghouse. treasurer. In addition to selling Christmas cards and wrappings, the seniors sold jello and have spon- sored two shows at the Eaton theatre. This money was to finance the senior trip to Put-in-Bay, which took place June 10. As they pass through the portals of C. H. S. for the last time, let them carry with them happy memories of friends they are leaving behind when they start down the long but beck- oning path to their future positions in this modern world. pane wine
