Thirteen Qlass ‘Prophecy T]) OOM ! Zoom ! The novel Craft is now far above the tumult of Trvou and Trade Streets, starting oji its peculiar quest of locating the members of t lie class of ’31. O’Neal Champion is piloting the marvelous bird-like craft called The SJcy Rocket which is the product of the inventive genius of Holt Goodman. The Sky Rocket has a capacity of twenty passengers, with a cruising speed of six hundred miles per hour due to dynamic explosions. Truly, no craft could he hetter adapted for the work in hand. You wonder why I should be aboard the craft. I have been invited to circle the globe and to compile the data which we accumulate regarding the whereabouts of each member of the class of ' 31. The familiar scenes of Charlotte faded in the twinkling of an eye. We were nearing the Denver Airport, for John Cullingford with his eye at the spectrometer, had sighted the firm of Berryhill Sugar Refining, Inc. Holt Goodman and I embarked in the little wonder craft, which we carried in the hangar of The Skv Rocket for the purpose of making short trips where the landing was limited to a small space. We interviewed Aaron in his private office and found that he had refineries in Cuba and Australia. Although he was too modest to admit it, we found that his holdings were calculated in millions. I explained my mission and we immediately began to exchange information as to the members of our class. I gleaned some interesting information. In a certain mission in Cuba, Ruth Kennedy is teaching the Cubans. Her quiet manner has influenced and attracted them to her in great number. An art museum in Europe contains several paintings of interest that bear the name of Everett Welborn. Beulah Yandle is holding a responsible position in a large bank. A popular member at their directors meeting is Edna Smith, who is private secretary to the president. The faculty of Oklahoma College is fortunate indeed in having Jessie Chambers as instructor in the Science department. She is now working on a very interesting experiment, in effort to make the mosquito a household pet. Our next stop was at the Eos Angeles Airport. I noticed that crowds were wel- coming two people whom I recognized as Pauline Bradley, a popular movie star, and Neal Herms, her director. We greeted each other, and I learned from Pauline that the policeman who was holding back the crowds was no other than John Barbour. She pointed out with pride one of the most fashionable shops for movie stars owned by Margaret Roscoe. Fourteen We stayed in the New California Hotel designed by Leonard Barto, the famous architect. I was pleased to see in my room, a new television radio to amuse me until bedtime. I got station GAB at once and heard and saw two black face comedians whom I recognized under their make-up to be two honored members of the class, John Craig and Draper Skidmore. After fifteen minutes of this delightful entertainment, a lady appeared. Who was this girl? It was Jewel Orr, the most talented singer on the air. We touched many points of interest while circling the globe but it was a relief to see the Statue of Liberty come into view, and to stop in New York after a flight across the Atlantic. I found that Jimmie Cornier had gone on the stage and is the idol of the feminine world. He receives so many calls from girls that it is necessary to employ Catherine Martin as his social secretary. Blanche Dellinger, having studied dancing, is Ziegfield’s much demanded “Danc- ing Doll.” Pattie Lee Simpson with Rachel Garrison as her head Manicurist is making a success with her beauty parlor. Norman Hill is the proud owner of a large chain of Hot Dog Stands. Washington was our last stop before returning to Charlotte. By special invita- tion we visited the President, one of the members of our class, David Wentz. He asked me to come in and meet his wife. The First Lady of the Land is no other than Vernell Wolfe. Her gracious manner and pleasing personality have won many friends in the diplomatic and social circles of Washington. I also met Sara Webb who was redecorating the White House. I learned some additional facts that were particularly interesting. Harvey Gar- rison had been elected governor of North Carolina for three consecutive terms. Irvin Cammer had published the greatest book of this season. George Pickard had just issued his first edition of the improved dictionary, with the assistance of Cleo Wallace. I was not surprised at their ability to add many new words to Webster’s vocabulary. Now for the class romance. Charles Boyles and Sarah Helms have married and are living up to the story book ending, living happily ever after. We landed at the Charlotte Airport, with persistent reporters, Madolvn Hattrich among them, gathering around the craft. This is the only statement I gave the paper. “The trip’ was a wonderful success. I am very happy indeed to have been appointed, and to have succeeded in learning the accomplishments and achievements of the class of ’ 31 . Louise Taylor, Class Prophet.

All our hearts are sad in parting From our classmates and school so dear. To some it’s sad, to some it’s glad, But to us all, it brings a tear. Please don’t think roe can forget you, It’s so hard to leave and say adieu. Chorus We will always love you, Tech, With a love ice’ll ne’er forget In our dreams, each night Tech High, We’ll come again to you. It’s so bad ice have to part, But ice’ll keep you in our heart. In our memories, you will always be our dearest dream, Tech High, farewell. Jewel Orr. Class Poem Seniors! This is the end ice sought — Toiling for twelve long years to gain this peak Whose towering form pierces encircl- ing mists That once held wonder for our budding minds. What vain illusions led us to believe That when we’d climbed this shadowy crest Life’s preparations would be nearly done ? What idle dreams that from its sum- mit high We could o’erlook the realm of all things known, That made-to-order jobs awaited there, And that we’d be the prized of all mankind. But since we’ve gained the heights These visions melt and fade away; That which we thought to be the end Of learning, and life’s highest goal Proves but to be the brink of learn- ing’s sea. Far out beyond its vast expanse we see Majestic peaks that tower out of sight, Formidable and yet alluring too, they lead us on As beckoning hands to heights un- known To us whose eyes were trained on this one prominence Which masked all others from our view. Four years have we applied ourselves With earnest hearts and hands toward common ends In classroom tasks, on gridiron, court, and field. No more the ways together shall we tread, For in the chain of peaks which loom ahead Each sees his challenge at a different site. Diverging pathways lead us to the tasks in hand. The close companionship which here ice knew Ti e’ll cherish as a dainty growing rose Whose perfume sweet, scents memories garden With fragrance rare that mellows with the years. Catherine Martin. Seventeen Jdist Will and Testament STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF MECKLENBURG. Since our life in Tech High has nearly expired, and we realize the end is very near, we, the Senior Class of 1931, desire to dispose properly of all our possessions.
