CLASS POEM Our last days at China Grove High Are now beginning to draw nigh. We sometimes think the fight we’ve won, But still our lije is yet to come. When trials and temptations we face We won’t turn back but run the race, And when we’ve almost reached the top We’ll keep on going, we will not stop. To our Parents, Teachers, and Friends, Who’ve encouraged us to the end, Our Fellow Classmen from whom we depart, We wish you luck with all our hearts. —KATHRYN BROWN Page Thirteen 1939 THE PARRDT M CLASS HISTORY All was a bedlam of incoherent sounds on the morning of April 6, 1935, when the faithful bell at old China Grove High School sent out its summoning call to the many students waiting in suspense for the school term to begin. Ah! At last the fateful moment had arrived! Now the lawn was covered with wandering groups of boys and girls going nowhere in particular. Some were renewing acquaintances; others were meeting new friends; but we members of the Freshman class were standing idly around in wonder and bewilderment. Finally, upper classmen were kind and thoughtful enough to direct us to the auditorium. We were sitting in our seats wondering what was going to take place, when suddenly we were aware of the fact that we were the ones receiving all the attention. We underwent initiation right then and there, but being the good sports that we are, we took it in the right spirit. At last registration was over and we were full-fledged members of China Grove High. Our faculty advisors were Mrs. Wilma Carrigan and Mr. F. H. Bostian. Herbert Clawson was chosen as our president. Under the motto, “Sail On,” we progressed in body, mind and soul. In the fall of ’36 we entered school as Sophomores. It was with a touch of pride that we showed our experience and “proved our metal” by giving the freshmen a helping hand. Again we elected Herbert Clawson as president. With Mr. Frowein and Mrs. Carrigan as our advisors, and our motto as “Sail On!” we proved successful for another year. We were hosts to the Seniors at a play given at the elementary school. We came to school in 1937 as Juniors. This was our time to be proud because we were now “upper-classmen.” Our advisors were Mr. Brown and Miss Piland. We again elected Herbert Clawson as president. As in the two preceding years we selected “Sail On!” as our motto. As this was an important year in our school career, we studied hard and accomplished much. We sponsored the Hallowe’en Carnival, which was a huge success, and Sweeney Prosser and His Honolulu Strollers. The proceeds of these two programs went toward the financing of the Junior-Senior Banquet, the most important event of the year. This event was carried out in the Dutch style with “Holland-Ways” as our theme. This was enjoyed by both Juniors and Seniors. On August 30, 1938, we entered China Grove High as Seniors. We elected Kathryn Brown president. We were proud to have as our advisors Miss Neely and Mr. Fox. “Sail On!” was again selected as our motto. Many happy events were enjoyed during our Senior year. The Sophomores were our hosts at a “weiner roast” and an excellent time was had by all attending. We presented the play, “Listen to Leon!”, a farce in three acts. Mr. Bivens was director and proved to be very efficient. The Seniors sponsored the Sauline players’ play, which was “The Goose Hangs High!” This program was enjoyed by everyone. The highlight of our Senior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Yadkin Hotel, Salisbury, N. C. This was a happy occasion for everyone, and we assured the anxious Juniors that it was a success. All in all, these four years have been successful. We realize that this does not mark the climax of our careers, but merely is the “Gateway to Success.” With this in our minds, and four years of experience of overcoming obstacles back of us, we have a bright future before us so we are going to “Sail On!” —JUNIOR HERRIN. Page Fourteen 1939 THE PARROT SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I sit in my chair by the fire my thoughts are turned to the future. What does the future hold for me? Most of all, what does the future hold for my class¬ mates? As I ponder this question an idea forms in my mind. Why can’t I interview the Fates and see what they have in store for us. I make mental contact with the gods. I transport myself to the top of Mt. Olympus, the home of the gods. My thoughts have left the small room and I am now dwelling in the throne room of Pluto, god of the underworld. Seated beside Pluto’s throne are the three sisters of destiny: Clotho, the spinner; Lachesis, the length fixer; and Atropos, the severer of the thread of life. I approach Clotho, the youngest daughter of Law. I broach the subject of the future to her. Clotho tells me that she will reveal the fates of my classmates, but to me my own future will ever have to remain an uncertainty. First is unveiled the fate of Ray Correll, a. Carolina graduate. Standing beside a football field in Chapel Hill we find him viewing his prospects for the coming football season. He is planning to turn out a team that will beat Duke. Frank Dennis is his line coach. Then comes Kathryn Brown. She is in the money now as a lady newspaper reporter. She writes up all the big athletic events. Daniel Aderholdt is standing in front of a large chemical plant in China Grove. By his side is his beautiful wife, the former Miss Freda Park. Daniel has built up a fine reputation as a chemist. He has added much to the world of science. Edgar Baker is president of Carolina Coach Company. Burton Barger is his chief competitor. Burton is head of the Greyhound Lines. We find one of these busses carrying our leading Congressman, Billy Eller. He has quite a pull in Congress. The time flies by as Clotho continues her discourse. Next comes our second Clark Gable, Grier Florton. He is starring in the present Hollywood production, Red Hot Music. Daniel Graham has a program on WSTP. He is a comedian and commentator equal to Grady Cole. Junior Herrin is now manager of this station. There are three hard-working farmers, members of the Rowan County Farmers’ Association, telling him about their new program on that station. These progressive fellows are Vardell Graham, Elmer, and Frank Shue. Then Clotho tells me about Layvon Belk. Lavvon is running a beauty salon. She is continually turning out new hair styles. Fay Cress has startled the world. Quite unknown up to this time, she surprised everyone, even her closest friends, by making a solo flight to Australia irom ( alifornia. I Page Fifteer 1939 THE PARROT Johnsie Wilhelm is a Paris dress model. Mary Seymour creates the styles that Johnsie displays. Clotho jumps from the dress shop to the hospital, where we find Edith Wyatt in a nurse’s uniform. Next we find Evelyn Shue and Billy Hauss working in the offices of Cannon Mills Company at Kannapolis. Ruth Bost is settled in a cozy little country home with her husband, who is a very progressive farmer. Mary Shuffler is in China as a Christian missionary. She has the good luck to meet Sally Lee Turrentine there while Sally Lee was on her world tour. N. J. Grimes is the drawing card at Yankee Stadium these days. He is the Yankee star first-baseman. Ruth Park is in France studying the language. It is rumored that she is looking for a rich French count. Violet Winecoff is pitcher for the champion China Grove softball team. Hazel Davis is a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or at least she got her man. Clotho then starts to pronounce finis to the discourse when I am jarred back to the present by a slam of the front door. Dad has come in to end my view of the time to be. So ends my sojourn into the happenings of tomorrow. With a lot of thanks to the Fates I return to real in life, today. THOMAS B. ABERNATHY, JR. Class Prophet. Page Sixteen 1939 THE PARROT LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of China Grove Hi, having spent the last year amidst toil and hardships, pain and pleasure, now pause briefly to will our most precious talents to those who are about to pass after us. To Mr. Bivens we extend our heartiest gratitude for the kind guidance and loyal fellowship that has forever enamored him in our minds. We wish to thank him as sincerely as we can for his efforts in English and his success with the Senior Play. We also cannot omit our humble gratitude for the spirit upheld by our most competent Board of Education. Needless to say, we are eternally obligated to our Parents, who through these long years have been our guardians and most loyal friends. It is with thankful hearts that we voice our appreciation of the many ways our Faculty has helped us. We shall always be grateful for the excellent spirit of com¬ radeship and helpfulness. Our faculty advisors have always given us a helpful hand throughout our Senior year. Needless to say, we shall be eternally thankful. To the Junior class we leave the keys to the new High School building in case it is completed next year. To the Sophomore class we leave the entire campus for room in case they need more for their athletic endeavors next year. We leave all of the books in the reading room to the Freshmen with sincere hope that they shall find out what the inside of these books look like. The following individual Seniors bequeath the following personal belongings: Freda Park and Daniel Aderholdt will their undying affiliation and deepest love to anyone who needs love to smooth out the rough spots. Lois Shue hopes that that curly red hair will be kept up forever by Helen Castor. Burton Barger wills that athletic spirit to his sister Grace. Lavvon Belk sadly leaves behind that nice dressed-up appearance to the quite charming Willie Mae Kluttz. Frances Goodnight and Miriam Wilson will that undying friendship for which they always have been famous to Sadie Grace Wallace and Marie ilhelm. Louie Owens leaves that bass voice to anyone who might need it to win a Hog- Calling contest some day. Kathryn Brown leaves that Best-All-Round student spirit to Hope Park. Hazel Davis feels as if no one the whole world over could keep as quiet as she, unless it is that brother Clifford. Johnsie Wilhelm leaves that most done-up hair in North Carolina to any nice Freshman who is willing to spend just loads of hours in giving it its proper care. Max Misenheimer is to receive that most talkative nature from a bereaved Bill Filer, who used it so effectively four or five years in High School. Sallie Turrentine wills that definitely cute nature to cut-up David C ress. Carl Davis, our good Post Graduate, wills that worn out Chemistry book to anyone that can fall asleep as quickly as he could whilst reading its [rages of formulas. 1939 Page Seventeen THE PARROT Daniel Graham wills that every-ready, ear-to-ear smile to Priscilla Honbarger, with hopes, however, that she will not fail to reciprocate that smile as often as he did. Fay Cress wills her unused French book to Margaret Bennett, at the same time hoping that she will use it more each day. Ja mes Wilhelm wills that empty gas tank on his bus to Raymond Boggs, and for goodness sake, keep that thing filled. Violet Winecoff weeps out loud for she knows that she must soon depart from her world of sports. Still, she leaves all of her acquired sports-ability to Viola Owens. Our loyal student, Junior Herrin, wills his loyalty to Frances Wilhelm. Although Thomas Abernathy is not willing, he will give an extra foot of height to Mary Brown. To Wade Clawson, who has a good start, Andy Dickerson wills his ability to tease the girls. Duard Cress will his ability to judge seeds in agriculture to Wade Rogers. Good ole Va. Lowder wills her “big times” to Bessie Louise McComes in case she ever needs more carefree ways. All the unnecessary jabbering in Geometry class is willed to Oscar Correll by his good friend, Edgar Baker. N. J. Grimes wishes that Wormie Beaver carry on that dignified appearance that made him famous. Vardell Graham leaves his calm manners to Albert Sloop. That excellent part in the Senior play is willed by Billy Hauss to actress Willie Mae Cowan, with hopes for a successful future. Don Jones wills his seat near the paper rack in Study Hall to his brother Rollo. Elmer Shue bequeaths his debonair black hair to Sarah Goodnight. And please don’t dye it, Sarah. Frank Shue wills his little used Geography book to the person who was hunting for Europe in Cabarrus County. The “King of the Carnival,” Mike York, feels as if he would like to leave that distinction to handsome “Fluff” Grimes. Frank Dennis leaves his yen for tattered magazines to J. C. McDonald, hoping at the same time that he will glue them together again. “I’ll leave my vamping ability to Grady Wilhelm,” says Grier Horton, “But you’d better leave my girl friend alone.” Ruth Bost wills that ill-oiled typewriter to Duwan Johnston if he is willing to grease it soon. Minnie Parker has nothing to say, and leaves it to Pearl Whitman. The friendship of Mary Seymour and Mary Shuffler is respectfully left to Juanita Thomas and Sarah Suddeth. Edith Wyatt wishes that her lady-like manners be practiced always by Dorothy Davis. Evelyn Shue wants someone to do a good job with her Bookkeeping Course. Miss Neely is requested to help in this respect. That brand-new English book that was never opened, not in a whole solitary year, is willed Andy the Dickersonn by Hoyt Moose. I, Ruth Park, having all-in-all nothing special to offer, leave for China Grove High School and you, my dear friends, best wishes for a happy, successful future. —RUTH PARK, Testator. 1939 Page Eighteen THE PARROT HUBS CORNER Name . . .

ABERNATHY Halfback CHINA GROVE 3 3 E. SPENCER 0 The China Grove Red Devil football team of this year’s addition was reputed as being one of the hardest “ ' line” teams in the state. The Little Wonder aggregation of Kannapolis, runners-up in the South Piedmont Conference, say that their game with China Grove was the hardest game of the season. The high scores of last year were not repeated this year. On the other hand our boys managed to hang up for their points this year an even hundred. The squad was severely handicapped in the loss of Captain Herbert Clawson who received a back injury in the Thomasville game. In the same game, Louie Owens, who was at the time reeling off some nice gains, was left out of the remainder of the season by a dislocated collar bone. Thomas Abernathy, a first year rookie in football, chalked up an amazing record of runs from the backfield this year. Joe Teeter, a Freshman, came through with excellent performances in the Training School and East Spencer games. Old-timers Burton Barger and Ray Correll, together with “Wormie” Beaver, scored ninety-three of the total points. Rangy John DeMarcus missed only two extra-points with his trusty toe, and held down the flank position stellarly. In the line Albert Wilhelm, no doubt, is one of the best tackles China Grove has developed. Frank Barger and Mike York were always consistently good at their position.- at center and guard. The future China Grove High School team now depends on such newcomers as McHone, Luther, Carter, Bost, Guffy, Fisher, Herrin, Eller, and Rary.

In the Rowan County Conference, our boys finished on top, after losing only one battle. They won second place in the Tournament at Landis. Fine performances were turned in by John DeMarcus, Burton Barger, Louie Owens, N. J. Grimes, Ray Correll, Hub Clawson and Frank Bostian. Others that took part in the games are: Frank Dennis, Albert Wilhelm, Harold Carter, Glenn Brown and Lewis Seymour. We enjoyed watching the boys play with William Booth as coach, and wish them much luck next year.

Many newcomers appeared on the game’s roster this year, on whom Miss Piland is dependent for a winning team next year. Much strength was added to the team by fighting Edith Eagle, Willie Mae Kluttz, Doris Duncan, and Juanita Overcash. Edith Sloop played nice ball consistently through the season.

GRIMES ROY CHARLES KIMBALL JOHN DeMARCUS BURTON BARGER HERBERT CLAWSON FRANK BARGER RAY CORRELL JOHN FISHER The baseball team of this year appears to be one that will show much strength at the bat as well as in the field. So far, our team has played but one game, suffering a defeat at the hands of the East Spencer Bulldogs, 7-1, in a game that was marred by numerous errors. We believe, however, that the boys of Coach Booth will come through the season with a better than .500 average. The team is to meet such formidable opponents as Hartsell, Children’s Home, Thomas- ville, Concord, and others yet not appointed. For our boys we wish the best of luck, for we are always sure that as long as China Grove has nine men on that field, we have nine chances to win.

That day, too, brought much pain and anguish to the brow of Louie Owens. Louie had planned to shoot “Chubby” with a spit ball. Strange as it all may seem, his aim wasn’t particularly good that day because it was a dark day outside. The “Chubby” intended spit wad misses its black-headed mark and clung steadfastly to the board right over Mrs. Rankin’s head. Louie felt bad that day—poor Louie—he was beat up—poor Louie. Once, it was quite long ago, a sturdy, staunch, steady Sophomore picked up the books of a dainty, demure, blonde Sophomore. She curtsied and smiled; he grinned and sneezed. Well, Dan and Freda have been “that way” ever since. Now folks, I ask you, just as a simple maiden to a simple man, “Have you ever seen anybody “cuter” than Junior Herrin. Billy Eller used to be quite cute himself. Well, one shiny fall day these two of our class brushed back that educated feeling, branded themselves in pugnacity and overcame the urge to flee and had a free for all. There was something of a story connected behind this typical scene. Suppose, no doubt, Layvon let the wrong boy write in her scrapbook. Too, dear fellowman, do you remember “Hub” when he ' d always cry if you tried to take his picture. Notice particularly one picture in this Annual. Then there was the day that Johnsie first decided that one curl would certainly make her look pretty. Wasn’t it John DeMarcus who decided after spending three years at High School that it would be a good idea to wear shoes, cause everybody else was wearing them. Frank Shue tried to blow out the electric lights the first time he was asked to turn them out. Was it one of the Bost boys that ate so many hot dogs at a Wiener Roast that the mustard started oozing out of his ears? Recline, and compose.
