The Indian Echo '44 Senior Class Poem At the Crossroads Ric HARD Hovm' You tu the left and I to the right. For the ways of men must severf And it well may be for a clay and a night. And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part tFor our ways are past our knowingl, A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here's luckf For we know not where we are going. Whether we win or whether we lose With the hands that life is dealing, It is not we nor the ways we choose But the fall ot' cares thats sealing Theres a fate in love and a fate in Fight. And the best of ns all go under- And whether were wrong or whether were right, W'e win, sometimes. to our wonder. Heres luckf That we may not yet go under! With a steady swing and an open brow We have tramped the ways together. But we're Clasping hands at the Crossroads now In the Fiend's own night for weatherg And whether we bleed or whether we smile In the leagues that lie before us. The ways of life are many a mile And the dark of Fate is o'er us. Heres luck' And 21 Cheer for the dark before usl You to the lull and I to the right, For the ways ol' men must sever. And it well may be for a day and a night And it yx ell may be loreverl But whether we live or whether we die tFor the end is past our lsnowinggj. I-Iere's two frank hearts and the open sky, Heres luckf In the teeth ol' all winds blowing. Cooleemee High Schoo

The Indian Echo '44 When I arrived at the airport in New York City, I noticed a great mob of people gathered around someone, evidently of great importance. When I caught a glance of the person, I saw that it was the minister to Great Britain, with his smiling wife, the former Imogene Isley. at his side. The first newspaper that I read after returning to New York carried a story about one of the city's dangerous criminals having been sent again to court for trial. I was interested to read that his lawyer was Lester Bailey. famous Chicago Attorney. Another person getting her name in headlines rather often these days is Fannie Morrow. She has recently completed her first term as Mayor of Newark, N. J. Some of her untiring cabinet members are Garland Page, Phoebe Dulin, and Reuben Berrier. Airplanes are now as common as automobiles. and it is nothing out of the ordinary to take a plane to London, Paris, Sydney, or any place one might take a notion to visit. So when my vacation came in the spring. I went to London. One of the first persons I saw when I arrived was Harry Monsees. He had become one of the best known lecturers of the time. speaking usually on the international situation. There seemed to be many friends of mine in London. Carl Ward. famed concert pianist. was being featured at the Royal Palace Theatre for three weeks. He is well-known to Londoners, for last year he married a very prominent English girl. In the hotel lobby one night, I saw Lt. Hazel Gales, looking as fit as ever in her Army Nurse uniform. Hazel had just returned from two years in New Guinea, where she served with the Army Nurse Corps. After spending two pleasant weeks in London, I decided to go by Shanghai on my way home. The first day in this city was uneventful because it rained, but the second day I set out to explore. Entering a large, modern department store I immediately recognized Katherine Tutterow behind a counter. We talked nearly an hour, for it was good to see a familiar face in the strange city. There were many Americans in Shanghai, and I was not surprised to learn that Kitty had married. She told me that Grace Walker was living on a farm not far from the city, and that Charlotte Swain was teaching school in a near-by town. In a few days I was back in New York, and as thc days grew warmer, thousands of people went over to Atlantic City, N. J. for swimming and a good time. One of the life guards there was Dorothy Owens and a popular spot on the beach was a hot-dog and lemonade stand run by Anne Appcrson and Frank Foster. From all accounts. they were having a lot of fun, as well as making a successful business. Edna Crawford and E. C. Tatum have married, of course, and settled down in a home of their own in a small town in North Carolina. Nancy Ridenhour is living in Winnipeg. Canada, with hcr husband, an Army Captain. who distinguished himself by capturing fifty German soldiers, single- hanclecl, in thc invasion of Germany during the 2nd World War, Thus have the members of Cooleemee High School. Class of '44 found their places in the world of today. Coofeeinee High School
