£ehicr CtaAAPtcpkecif Ten long years from now I am resting my weary bones in an easy chair and catching up on the news. I am suddenly aware that it concerns many people I know, in fact, some of my former classmates. Right on the front page is an article about an outstanding operation performed by Surgeon Avin Leckie at Johns Hopkins. You know Mary Barnhardt is Superintendent of Nurses at the same hospital. Here’s a picture of Doris Padgett smiling happily because she is new Head Nurse at the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. Looking further I see that Viola Goodson’s brilliant salesmanship has carried her to the top, for she now owns and operates a large department store in Greensboro. Jean Kesler’s ability in business has gone right on with her. Slip is Business Manager of the New York Times. I see that Carnegie Hall is boasting another appearance of The Great Pianist Henry Safley. One lad of ’48 has gone far in the agricultural field. Clyde Wilhelm is owner of one of the best groups of farms in North Carolina. I see here where Charles Berg’s basketball and football training helped him get ahead. Today he is recognized as the best coach in the South and is Athletic Director at the University. The Home Demonstration Club will be held at the home of Barbara Paris with Sallie Wilhelm acting as president and Jean Beeker giving a demonstration on new ideas in Dressmaking. H’m, look at this article, F. B. I. Agent Geneva Beaver has cracked another case for the Government. Herbert Campbell’s slow speech does not prevent his success as one of Uncle Sam’s best tax collectors. Turning the page I see that James Lyerly has a big transfer truck on route to New York. In order that we may always be able to go places, I see Jack Cauble is head of the Towel City Retreading Company in Kannapolis. I see Margaret Graham has been elected as Manager of the Southern Bell Telephone Company in Charlotte. Bruce Owens is being kept busy as director of The Electrical Engi- neering Department at North Carolina State College. John Wooten’s Army life with his easy-going disposition may some- day, before long, put him in the White House as President of the United States. Myself a Soda Jerker” on Times Square in New York. I’d better lay my paper aside now as it is time to hear Evelyn Camp- bell announcing my favorite radio program. Willie Kate McCubbins, Prophetess

Out (jclfyh The sun came up with golden gleam; A dove came flying by; The doors were opened once again— The doors of Cleveland High. We heard the school bell chiming, As we came ’cross the dale; It said to us — these are good days, God grant you use them well. We seniors gathered once again, The halls rang with our cheers. We had good times in our last days The days at Cleveland High. One day the dove came flying back To call us softly from the sky; We knew the end was drawing near, And we had soon to say good-bye. Just then the day was dawning, But the sun slid down so bold Into a pool of golden sky Like ruby set in gold. Together we walked through the open gates To wait the coming day; We placed our lives in God s strong hand, iL . .1- T Tlie Wav. T4p is Jean Beeker, Class Poet
