We guarantee our recipe to be one of the best. A ship comes sailing into port, Bells ringing and sailors carefree; Their voyage is done, with the set of the sun; They have fought and they’ve conquered the sea. The ship is the good class of ’35; The sailors none other than we; The voyage-—the course of our high school years; We have won and the port we now see. Many times we’ve encountered hardships That have taxed our brain and brawn, But with the last of the gale we tightened our sail As our cry was ever “Sail On”. Sometimes the day was all sunshine; Our spirits and hopes rose high As we basked in sweet contentment, Our eyes on the blue of the sky. Now we embark on the voyage of life, A part of the journey past; Some will sail on with the courage they have While others will shrink from the blast. The weakest will aimlessly drift here and there, Torn and tossed bv the moving tide, While the strong will steer a course that’s clear With the Pilot o’er all as their guide. —Fred Peacock 20 19 3 5 T li e PARROT CLASS HISTORY The effort of every historian should be to make the past live again in his pages. As I take up my pen and turn my thoughts back over the past four years. I see our senior class again in various roles. In the fall of ’31 we entered China Grove High School a bunch of “green”, but eager, freshmen. In fun we submitted to the inevitable initiating, thus prov¬ ing ourselves good sports. For a time we thought ourselves perhaps inferior to the upper classmen, but as the months passed away we became accustomed to the high school routine and life took on a new aspect. The following year we returned feeling ourselves a step forward in our high school career. With Lamar Morgan as our president and Miss Mackie and Miss Bernhardt as our advisors, we had quite a successful year. By way of entertaining the seniors of that time, we gave a “weiner” roast which everyone enjoyed immensely. For our motto we adopted “Ever Upward Still We Climb” and agreed to keep it throughout the remaining years. As always, the last two years proved the most crowded and eventful. As juniors, we elected Clement Murray as our president, and started the year off right by sponsoring a Hallowe’en Carnival under the guidance of our advisors. Miss M arshburn and Mr. Tingle. It proved a grand success as so many turned out to see it in their most appropriate costumes. In the spring we began our preparations for the Junior-Senior banquet, which was the climax of our junior year. For our theme we chose “The Last Round Up”. Our school colors, red and white, were carried out in the color scheme. The evening closed with a squai e dance, much to everyone’s delight. At last our senior year rolled around, and then began a series of various activities. We elected Lamar Morgan as our president, and under the leadership of Miss Neely and Mr. Bostian we began our final year. At the Hallowe’en Carnival sponsored by the junior class we carried off the prize for the best stunt, with Mr. Bostian playing the leading part. On many occasions we had difficulty in agreeing, but when our mascots, Peggy Jo Lipe and Arthur Davis, invited us to a theater party at Kannapolis, we agreed unanimously and enjoyed it greatly. The senior girls were also invited to another theater party by our grade mothers, Mrs. H. C. Corriher and Mrs. J. N. Fleming. This also was enjoyed very much. Our senior play “The Brown Mouse,” under Mr. Wanner’s excellent direc¬ torship proved a huge success. The most enjoyable event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet given by the juniors in our honor. It was held at the Salisbury Country Club, with quite a number in attendance. The scene represented a Captain s Dinner held on a huge ocean liner. The sailor caps which everyone received gave the desired effect and all enjoyed the occasion greatly. You see us now with our faults and glories confessed. Me have at last reached the goal toward which we have been striving. But in our minds we re¬ member that there is a greater goal for which we are striving; and it we keep our feet planted firmly upon this foundation and keep climbing we will reach it. Remember that “lie succeeds who keeps keeping on. —Lucille Henrickson. 21 19 3 5 T h e PARROT CLASS PROPHECY Last summer while I was cruising on the Mediterranean Sea, I met a very interesting couple who appeared to be of foreign descent. They invited me to their stateroom and in order to give me an insight into some of the customs of their land they asked me if I would like to take a look at a crystal ball given to them by a clannish leader. Of course I was very interested and thought at once of my class¬ mates of ’35 and wondered if their future would he revealed to me. To my amaze¬ ment, as I looked into the crystal I saw two very dim figures appear. Upon looking closer I saw Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Davis, the latter known to us as Juanita Dick¬ erson. Mr. Davis is Dean of Men at Duke University and Mrs. Davis is the beloved French teacher. The crystal next revealed Pearl Ritchie walking on the grounds of some large school. I recognized our own beloved China Grove High, now known to be the largest high school in the state. Pearl was the beloved coach of girls’ basketball and was again leading China Grove to victories over Landis. There was on her left hand a big diamond. We wonder what it was for??????? I saw a sign over a Jarge bus terminal which read, “Safrit and Son’s Bus Terminal,” owned by Homer Safrit who runs a bus line from coast to coast. Homer’s business manager was Jasan Parks who, together with his competent secretary, Miss Letlia Correll, manage his business. Homer’s motto for business is the motto we used in the class of ’35, “Ever Upward Still We Climb.” Next I saw Josephine Fesperman, owner of a beauty shop in the station of W. B. T., Charlotte, N. C. Television has now become very common and “Jo” has the job of “fixing up” all the radio stars. Her head helpers are Helen Corri- her and Evelyn Davis. The crystal then moved to China Grove, now one of the biggest cities in North Carolina. I saw a large sign with the words, “Miller’s Hotel” above. Since Bill has taken charge he lias “Bell Girls” instead of “Bell Bovs.” The head Bell Girl is Rachel Sloop. Rachel also has charge of the pop and soda fountain. Next I was taken to Hollywood where I saw a figure I recognized as Fred Peacock, a second Bing Crosby. Rumors state that he and Miss Helen Wagner, of China Grove, are to be married in June and make their home in Hollywood. We wish them much happiness. My view then went to Washington, D. C., where I saw Maxine Sloan as private secretary to the president. Next I was taken to Broadway where I saw a large vaudeville act. I saw some of the members of the class of ’35, known to us as Sadie Deal and Elizabeth Silliman. Sadie is known as the world’s largest woman and Elizabeth has shriveled up until she is the world’s smallest woman. Next I was taken to Chicago where the world series in baseball was being played. I thought I saw a man on first base who looked familiar. On looking closer I saw it was none other than Trov Corriher. Next I saw the United States army in action. I thought I saw a general that looked familiar. I saw it was Marvin Chapman. As I saw him as General I knew that his boyhood ambition had been realized. My crystal then took me to the Notre Dame football field where I saw the first part of a game between Notre Dame and Georgia Tech. I found that Lamar Morgan, from China Grove, was pla ying half-back for Notre Dame. Next my crystal revealed an image at a piano. At first I was unable to rec¬ ognize the figure, then I saw it was none other than John White Bostian. It 22 19 3 5 T h e PARROT seemed that John White was making good as a second “Little Jack Little.” He is now on a tour around the world, accompanied by his manager and brother, Philip Bostian. I then entered a large hospital in New York where 1 saw a figure clad in white, known to us as Josephine Rankin. She has been head nurse for the past ten years. I saw Douglas Houck running for the United States Senate. He is just finishing a term as a North Carolina Senator. Next I saw a cozy little cottage on one of the best farms in the state. The farm is run by Carl Henry Deal. I found that he has been married to Louise Cress for five years. My crystal next revealed to me Ralph MeCorkle as a second Mr. C. B. Brown. He still carries on the lespedeza announcements made by Mr. Brown in chapel. After Ralph’s image faded, my crystal revealed to me a figure playing with a group of children, known to us as Lucille Henrickson. Lucille keeps a kinder¬ garten in Washington, D. C. Next I entered a small amateur radio broadcasting station owned and oper¬ ated by Janie Wilkie and Clement Murray. They are known throughout the world for their amateur broadcasting system and are making it the largest in the world. I next entered a large Baptist church in New York where I saw Rev. C. D. Barringer as pastor. Next my crystal revealed to me a figure known to us as Blanche Curran. Blanche was head clerk in New York’s largest department store. Clerks under her are Wilma Lawson and Pauline Barnhardt. Next I saw a couple ent er one of the new stream-line buses driven by Ar- mon Sasser. The couple entering the bus was Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Houck, the latter known to us as Florence Erwin. Jewrell Dial, who will be disappointed in love, will live the life of an old maid. She will be of great help to young boys and girls by handing out advice on their problems about everyday life. I saw Earl Kirk as manager of a large chain of A P stores. After Earl’s image faded, I saw Ralph Wilhelm as Farm Demonstration Agent of Rowan County. Ralph was asked who his best farmers were and he re¬ plied, “Junior Wilhelm and Grady Corriher are the best farmers I have in Rowan County.” My crystal next went back to Hollywood where I saw a famous movie star known to us as Elizabeth Fleming. Elizabeth was studying for her next picture with Clark Gable, “Reno Bound.’’ My crystal next revealed to me a beautiful home in Mill Bridge. Upon en¬ tering, I saw Mrs. John Cress, nee Sara Baker, sitting before the fire sewing. Next my crystal took me to Greensboro where I saw a sign, Hopkins School of Music”, above the door. I saw that the school was taught by Eva Jones Hopkins. Then I saw mv own image appear. As bad luck would have it, the deck steward entered my room with my lunch. As he entered, my image disappeared. I hurriedly dismissed the steward and looked again into the crystal in hope that mv image would appear again, but to no avail. I then realized that my future was to remain unknown. 23 19 3 5 T he PARROT LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1935, have finished our life’s toils and hardships at China Grove High School and are now ready to will some of our highly valued treasures and possessions to the Faculty and our beloved classmates.

Bill Miller leaves his athletic ability, a family tradition, to Elmer Ritchie hoping Elmer will pull ol’ C. G. out of many tight places. To Alliene Bostian, Elizabeth Fleming leaves her everlasting curls, and also her curlers provided she promises to use them every night as faithfully as she did. The business-like air of Clement Murray is willed to Leon Frye but Cle¬ ment’s love for a certain good-looking blond remains his very own. “Jo” Ferperman leaves her Chevrolet to Lillian Cruse. In case of an emer¬ gency it might come in handy. Blanche Curran leaves her cleverness used in getting out of afternoon classes to Alyce Clawson. Juanita Dickerson leaves her “pestering” to Billy Eller and her “gift of gab”, perpetual motion perfected, to Helen Ross Cox. Ralph Wilhelm wills his agricultural abilities to John Cress. I, Josephine Rankin, having no special talents worth mentioning, do leave my love and best wdshes to ol’ C. G.
