NX YY Senior Class History Four long years ago We. green pirates, left our respective grammar schools to try to ransack the high school until we acquired our treasure chest containing Knowledge. It seems that we did excellent work at first when we forgot to leave our kiddie-carts outside and played leap-frog in the halls. We ran everytime we heard a bell. knocking upperclassmen in every direction. We were dumb, we admit, but never think the Sophs let us stay in ignorance long. They made our very lives a misery. After we had survived our first term test, We took hope. and our pirate ship sailed on. At the end of the year a few had to walk the plank and be left behind. We drifted on for a time. called vacation. then started another year when we were the wisest in the school. We didn't fail to torment the Freshmen either. That was the year of our glorious Sophomore hike when we had so many adventures and so much fun. But even as the best of pirates must, we had to force a part of our crew to walk the plank. leaving still fewer on board. In all this time we were learning many valuable things along with our fun. Every year we have had many representatives of our class on athletic teams, detention hall, and the honor roll. The surviving Juniors had part of their life-long dream come true when they got to help with the Junior stand and the JuniorfSenior Banquet. Of course, as we are pirates we decorated for the banquet using the pirate scheme. Our Freshmen friends served for us. The Pirate Banquet was the best ever given. so they say: naturally, we agree. ln the Junior year we had to try our luck with geometry. and because of our able instructor most of us got through alive. but Fate ordained a small part of our crew to remain in the Junior class. So again we started on our journey, this time the last sail. While sailing under the Senior flag la very fitting name for a dignified crewl many bloody battles had to be fought in order to obtain the treasure chest. which held a diploma for each. Several of the crew had to walk the plank after staying with us for four years. Now that we have finished our voyage and look back over the four years spent on the ship sailing for the l-and of Knowledge, we End that we hate to leave the ship and have the crew separated, but in the years to come may we all have another voyage together. somewhere. sometime, some place.

X X f t Senior Class Prophecy I was leaving for a pleasure trip to New York, and the taxi was at the door waiting for me. As I handed my bags to the driver. I recognized my old schoolrnate. James Yount. So what did I do but sit in front and talk over old times with him when we were in old II. II. 5. ten years ago? I work for 'Fresh Air Taxi Cab Co.'. explained james. Alfred Gilbert and ID. C. Rowe own it. I bought my ticket at the station from my old friend, Russell Robinson, who was working his way around the world. I'Iurrying on to the train I saw that Aubrey Poovey was the engineer, so I felt a trifle uneasy, but the conductor. t'harles Nlosteller, assured me that it was quite safe. The train was so crowded that I had to sit with a young woman. who was trying to make her triplets behave. XYe recognized each other at the same time. V NVQ-ll, Mary Frances Bagbyf' I shrieked. I found out that she had married a well known life saver tive years before, and was on her way to visit her mother-in-law. l'pon inquiry, I found that she had named her triplets for her old high school friends. I named this one for Hazel Sides, who is now in South America running a beauty shop for the natives. The other girl I named for XYilda Sigmon. and by the way, she is a nurse in Conover. Then the boy was so adorable I simply had to name him for ,Iiinmie Sullivan. Ile runs IIauk's Ilash House, you know. Have you heard about Ilelen Abernetliy and Virginia Bailey going into a detective agency together? As she got off at the next stop we said good-by with heavy hearts. I bought a magazine and newspaper to read the rest of the way. lYhy look wlio's editor of this inagae zine, I thought as I saw' XVilli:un Abernethy's name. The tirst thing I saw in the newspaper was huge head lines. Mayo Hefner Invents Car That lYill Run XVithout Has. It was a very interesting article written by Irene Shouse, a reporter on the paper. Two other reporters were old schoolmates of mine: Fred- erick Poovey was sports editor and Donnie Hudson was society editor. Bliss Iludson had written up an account of Bliss Marjorie l.ohr's marriage to a wealthy French Count. ller charming sister, formerly Bliss Bebe I.ohr, was matron of honor. and lovely Kliss Margaret I.entz, who had just returned from abroad, was maid-of-honor. The wedding dresses were designed by Ida Frances Creech, the First she had made after completing her course in Paris. In the sports column I saw something which I had been expecting for a long time. .lohn Mackorell had been chosen football coach at Notre Ilame. I noticed where the professor of mathematics of Yale l'niversity, Nathan llovis, was to lecture to a body of Chinese laundry workers on The Science of Algebra. That was too much news for me, so I turned to my magazine only to notice it was published by Clara Ilunsueker, The tirst article was on The Proper XVay to Reduce, by Ilernice Phillips. Seeing a picture which looked faintly familiar, I found out that it was Glenn Brown, the poor boy having taken an over-dose of Ida Mae XYhitener's Reduce Quick Pills. So now Mr, Brown only weighed one hundred and three pounds. Another article of interest was written by Idabel Regan about Edith Setzer, who had spent the last three years in Rome studying l.atin. I got off the train and went to IIotel Couch, owned by Dexter Couch. I immediately had to make a complaint to the manager. XYalter lYooten. about the mud in my room, Init it was all explained when I Iountl that Vashti XYliitener was the maid. NYhen I went down to dinner that night. I rode on the elevator with Yirginia Mitchell, who was on her way to enter a nunnery. Ilotel Couch had excellent service. IYhile I was Finishing dinner, a traveling sales- man, XYoodrow Burns, sold me some life insurance. I had to rush to get to the theatre on time that evening. I bought my ticket from Ruby llart. She informed me that she was married to a lawyer, who was working on a case for Margaret Pope, Margaret was suing her husband for alimony. I had only time to learn that ,lames Stevenson owned the theatre and that Ben Jones had decided to become his partner. I had to rush on as I was keeping many people from buying tickets, There was a special program that evening. Richard XVhitener, the usher, told me as he seated me next to Fay Phillips. Fay was there on her honeymoon. I glanced over my program and saw that it was published by james Miller, the publisher of New York Timex. The costumes were designed by Edna Rogers and made by Edith Brown, so they were indeed beautiful. The excellent orchestra had several players of interest to me. The organist was llelen XYarlick and the violinist was Vera Shuford. They played a piece composed by Frances Stevens, then in tlerinany sturlylml music. The first inimber was by the grand opera singer, Virginia Ilerman, She sang beautifully and was encored several times, I glanced around and saw' NXIIIIIZIITI Setzer, a heavyweight boxer, send her a large bouquet of flowers. A baritone solo followed by Donnell NYarlick. I heard whispered all around that he was going to start broadcasting soon. The next number was a solo dance by Rachel Barger. Blary Alice Coyle. known as Mac, the national blonde beauty, appeared in person for the last number on the program.
