We realize our careers in life Are mere started—just begun. As we face daily battles, We’ll always do our very best; We shall remember our class motto, For it will help us stand the test. All thanks to parents, friends and teachers Who helped us surmount all fretful cares And raised our motto high, “The elevator To success isn’t running—take the stairs”. And now the class of ' 37 Has reached its long sought goal. It leaves the teachers and the students Best wishes and love untold. —HELEN OVERCASH 13 CLASS HISTORY To many people the year 19)33 was not very important, but to the members of the class of ’37 it was one of the most important ones in our lives. It was then that we began our high school car eers. It seems that we have been going on a long journey; now we have reached our destination after many years. In the fall of 1933 there were about sixty-five of us “green” freshmen. Under the leadership of Miss Fleming and Mr. Bostian we soon became accustomed to high school life and work. Our class president was Helen Wagner. We chose for our motto, “The elevator to success is not running; so take the stairs.” This motto has served as a beacon through our four years of high school. The next year we returned eager for more fun and hard work. Our advisors were Miss Fleming and Mr. Lingle. For our president we chose Lucille Nesbit. We invited the seniors to a program, including “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp” and “The Patsy.” As always, the junior year was one of great importance. We chose Carl Sloop as our president. With the help of our advisors we sponsored a big Hallowe’en carnival. The most outstanding event of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet held at the Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury, N. C. The senior class colors, green and white, were used attractively to carry out the theme, “Pleasure Island.” At last we became seniors. For our president we chose Leon Frye who has proved to be capable and efficient. We were very fortunate in getting Miss Fleming, Miss Neely, and Mr. Lingle for our advisors; under their supervision we accomplished much. We were invited by the Sophomore Class to see the play, “Son John”. Nancy Lentz and Jackie Swink were selected as mascots, the dearest members of our class. Under the direction of Mrs. Lingle, our senior play, “Romance in a ' Board¬ ing House”, was highly successful. We enjoyed very much being guests at the Junior-Senior banquet at the Yadkin Hotel. Colorful decorations harmonized with the theme, “At the End of the Rainbow”. As a whole, our senior year was the most significant one in our journey through high school; it was filled to the brim with happy events, intermingled with hard work. Our journey through life has started successfully. May we always be brave travelers. It is unfortunate for us that some of our happiest days of school life have passed. Soon we must begin life’s work and face arduous tasks. Training at China Grove High School has helped us tremendously and taught us many fine things that we shall always cherish. Throughout our journey of life we shall recall happy mem¬ ories of our high school days, because to us “Memory like the ivy clings To olden ways and times and things.” —MARTHA JANE GOODMAN 14 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I was strolling along in a park one day in June, about dusk, a beautiful con¬ veyance, somewhat like a car, rolled up beside me. The driver, a kind, old man, leaned out and said, “Would you like to take a ride in my new invention?” “What is it?” I asked. “A sky rocket,” the inventor replied. I stepped inside. He shut the door, pulled a lever, and up we went. “Where are we headed?” I asked. “To the moon,” he replied. When we reached the moon, we started toward a beautiful mansion. We went down a long corridor. On one side in an alcove, I saw an instrument somewhat similar to a telescope. “Oh, what is this?” I inquired. “It is a futurescope,” he replied. “If one knows the secret of operating it, he may find out what the future holds for him and his friends.” “Can you operate it?” I asked, awaiting his reply breathlessly. “Yes, I learned the secret years ago when I first visited the moon,” he said. Can you reveal the future of my high school classmates on earth?” I inquired. “Yes, I’ll do it it if you promise not to tell when you go back to earth”, was his reply. “I promise never to tell,” I said. Slowly, he pressed a secret button and adjusted the futurescope. I could see very faintly in the distance the figure of a man sitting at a desk in China Grove, N. C. It is none other than Leon Frye, President of the University of China Grove, in 1950. Even as I watch, two secretaries, David Fisher and Vernon Sechler, approach and wait for instructions. Slowly these images fade and others appear in rapid succession. I recognize Olin McNeely as director of the internationally famous Duke University Orchestra. Edith Williams and Kathleen Stirewalt are nurses at Johnston Willis Hospital, Richmond, Va. George Frank Watson is a comediah, in Hollywood. He is even more famous than Bert Wheeler and Robert Woosley. Lucy Lewis is there, also, preparing for her next picture with Martin Turrentine, a second Robert Taylor. Willene Corriher is Mrs. Rodgers, living in Kannapolis, N. C., where her husband is a painter. Troy Washam is athletic coach at Harvard University. His assistant is George L. McSwain. Faintly I see Dorothy Cauble and Mary Glover operating their own beauty parlor in High Point. They are very successful. Von Eva Mabry is in Paris serving as a model for Parisian stylists. Ruth Shue is working as her designer. North Carolina is proud of Howard Funderburke, owner of the Carolina Coach Company. His best driver is Frank Baker. 15 Birdie Cress owns one of the largest farms in Rowan County. Martha Jane Goodman is head of the Mathematics department in a large college in Illinois. At Yale University, Carl Sloop, Jr., is a very popular history professor. Two French instructors there are Oscar Linn and Harold Hampton. Jonsie Deal and Marietta Lee are dietitians at this same institution. Harry Hauss is the owner of twelve large drug stores in North Carolina. Theta Cress is head clerk at one of the largest millinery shops in New York. Clerks under her are Esther Walter and Elizabeth Simpson. Next the futurescope shows a figure known to us as Hoyle Bostian. He is editor- in-chief of the China Grove News, one of the best known papers in North Carolina. Elva Maye Davis is the main attraction, a monologist, in a Broadway show. Marius Goodnight is the dignified and respected captain of a new ship, “Queen Mary” (Virginia). Mr. and Mrs. Paul Corriher are explorers, residing temporarily in China. The latter, formerly Miss Helen Overcash, has recently employed a new butler, Glenn DeMarcus. Mamie Ellen Jones, author of the famous book, “Scatter Brains”, is the only American woman ever to receive the coveted Nobel prize in literature. Willie Nell Dial is a librarian in Boston, Massachusetts. She has won the heart of her employer, and wedding bells are faintly tinkling in the future. China Grove High School is proud of her agriculture teacher, John Cress, a suc¬ cessor to Mr. C. B. Brown. Kathleen Shive is head nurse in a doctor’s office in Greensboro, N. C. Her as¬ sistant is Rachel Bost. On the corner of a street in New York, Lavon Miller is running a cut-rate jewelry shop. Suddenly my own image appears on the futurescope. I lean forward eagerly, try¬ ing to see in what occupation I am engaged. The image is blurred. “Can you adjust the futurescope so that the picture is clear?” I asked, breathlessly. “No”, interrupted the strange voice of an attendant on Mars who, unobserved, had entered the room, he won’t have time to do it and you won’t have time to see it either; that is, if you expect to get back to earth. The sky rocket on which you came is starting back in one minute. I have been hunting everywhere for you two during the last fifteen minutes. The time limit for your visit to Mars is up. Travelers are not allowed to stay in this building one minute after midnight.” We rushed from the building just before the doors were locked. As we walked hurriedly toward the sky rocket, I thanked my kind benefactor for what he had shown me and said, “Now, I suppose I shall never be able to learn what the future holds in store for me.” He stepped into the sky rocket before he answered. I sat down beside him, and we started slowly to descend to earth. “You are right,” he answered slowly, as a smile crept over his face. “Time alone will reveal that.” —LUCILLE NESBIT 16 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Seniors of the class of 1937, knowing that we are about to depart from our life of toil, hardships and pleasure at China Grove High School, do hereby will and bequeath to the members of the faculty and our classmates who we are about to leave behind, some of our highly valued treasures.

C., now a part of the Cannon Mills Company known as Plant No. 8, was organized under the laws of North Carolina on April 27, 1893, the incorporators being J. W. Cannon, I. Frank Patterson, J. C. Corriher, J. L. Rendleman and R. J. Holmes; the business of this corporation being specified as buying, manufacturing and selling cotton, wool, and cotton and woolen goods. The capital stock of the company at the beginning was $75,000.00. The first Board of Directors consisted of R. J. Holmes, J. W. Cannon, D. B. Coltrane, L. D. Duval, J. C. Corriher, D. F. Cannon, and I. Frank Patterson, The officers were J. W. Cannon, President, and I. Frank Patterson, Secretary- Treasurer. The original mill had 4,160 spindles and 130 looms, employing less than 100 people. At the death of Mr. I. Frank Patterson, Mr. W. J. Swink became connected with the mill on May 14, 1896 in the capacity of Secretary and Treasurer. On August 3, 1896 he was made a Director. The Patterson Manufacturing Company at one time operated a branch plant at Kannapolis which was later sold to the Cannon Manufacturing Company. On June 4, 1928 the Patterson Manufacturing Company was merged with ten other plants into the present Cannon Mills Company, the old Patterson Manufactur¬ ing Company being known as Cannon Mills Company, Plant No. 8. This plant today has over 15,000 spindles, 340 looms, and employs approximately 500 people. 56 The China Grove Cotton Mills Co., was organized April 5th, 1920, for the manufacture of combed yarns, and received it’s charter as cf that date. The Incorporators being, Mr. A. C. Lineberger, Mr. C. B. Miller, Mr. A. E. Davis, Mr. P. M. Barger, Mr. A. W. Winecoff and Mr. Frank R. Brown. The Officers elected at that time were as follows: Mr. A. C. Lineberger, President Mr. R. L. Stowe, Vice President Mr. John H. Rutledge, Secretary Treasurer The Directors were, Mr. A. C. Lineberger, Mr. R. L. Stcwe, Mr. C. B. Miller, Mr. McL. Ritchie, Mr. W. F. Snider, Mr. J. H. Rutledge and Mr. F. R. Brown. The Capital stock was $1,000,000.00 authorized, with $850,000.00 being paid in. In 1921 the first unit was built containing 21,760 spindles. This unit has been in operation since that date. In 1926 the demand for China Grove Cotton Mill yarns was so great that it was necessary to build a new unit. The certificate of Incorporation was amended in 1926, increasing the authorized Capital stock to $2,000,000, with $1,600,000 paid in capital. The second unit of this organization began operation in February 1927, with 21,120 spindles. In laying out the machinery for unit number two provision was made for approximately 5,000 additional spindles, which were to be added later, as the range of counts at that time was 30 s to 120|s. The demand for counts coarser than 30|s necessitated adding 4800 spindles in 1929, which enabled the Company to make counts as coarse as 20|s, giving them a range of counts from 20|s to 120[s, with 47,680 spindles. The Company owns 150 houses, which are occupied by the employees of the Company. The Company at this time employs approximately 750 people. The present Officers of the Company are as follows ; Mr. A. C. Lineberger, President Mr. A. L. Brown, Vice-President Mr. J. H. Rutledge, Secretary Treasurer Mr. C. J. Beaver, Assistant Secretary The Directors are: Mr. A. C. Lineberger, Mr. J. H. Rutledge, Mr. J. L. Fisher. Mr. McL. Ritchie, Mr. A. L. Brown, Mr. C. J. Beaver and Mr. E. F. Lucas. Mr. George W.
