HOW proud and haughty we felt as we entered upon our first year in high school. Under Mrs. Durrette and Miss Yancey we received our first taste of high school life. Somehow, we seemed to bring prosperity to C. H. S., for things began to happen. The Dramatic Club, Poe Literary Society, and The Pepergram were started. We freshmen entered into those new de- velopments with a true freshmen spirit — doing our best and taking part in almost everything that came along. OPHISTICATED SOPHOMORES— At least that is what we thought. Miss Winn and Mrs. Hudson were our home room teachers and small rolls they had too, for, as usual, the majority of our classmates were still freshmen. This was Mr. Jeffer- son’s first year in our school as athletic coach and with his customary fire and en- thusiasm he started the Boys’ Hi-Y and a boys’ basketball team. UNIORS — HOW we longed for this year to come. How anxiously we had waited for the time when we would get our class rings and have the opportunity to entertain the dignified Seniors. We can remember clearly the banquet and dance we gave the Seniors and how the dance turned out to be a leap year one. This was the year the Dra- matic Club gave the successful play “The Little Clodhopper” — With Ducky as the heroine. May Day was especially interesting since Kitty Waite, a Junior, was chosen Maid-of-Honor. ENIORS, AT last! Dignified (?) and in- finitely wiser. The year passed quickly and was filled with many pleasant happen- ings. The versatile young man, Horace Tay- lor, was elected the class president. Alice Payne was chosen to head the Dramatic Club and Kitty Waite the Poe Literary Society. The Glee Club was organized with Evelyn Bickers as its head. The Girls’ Hi-Y was organized and had a very profitable year under Zillah Rhoades’ leadership. The Pepergram began its third year with Fred Tanner as Editor-in-Chief. Another singular honor was given Fred when he was selected as most popular boy in school. Ruth Earle Weaver was chosen as May Queen from the number of “belles filles” in our class room. Ducky very ably played the leading part in the senior play “Agatha’s Aunt.” MARCELLA BROWN ZILLAH RHOADES millllHIliMliiimiii mill iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiin 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIII

The theme will not be changed, 0I1 no! the change will be the style. And instead of getting a crocodile tear I’ll try to get a smile. For many years we’ve labored here, fourteen or more I’d say (Maybe some got thru in eleven or twelve) but most, not less than a day. Now we’re going to pass beyond those doors for once and all Leaving nothing to remember us by, ’cept a carving on desk or wall. We’ll be, next year, out in the world, whittling for ourselves a name, Not this time on the schoolliouse wall, but on the Door to Fame. Who knows but in some later year, some one may have cause to say, While pointing at a desk carved name, “He’s the President of the U. S.

These two young men went to school together and have been writing ever since. These books rank with the best ever written on these sub- jects and should be read by all. (Editor’s note; They should be read by all who have absolutely nothing else to do, and are not particular how their time is spent.) oOo PROFESSOR JAMES BUTLER INTERVIEWED ON NEW THEORY For the first time since the forwarding of his new theory. Professor J. Butler was inter- viewed by the press. The inter- view follows: Q. How long did it take you to reach this conclusion, that the universe started, not from a single atom, as was formally believed, but from two minute atoms? A. Well it was like this, I was reading a fairy tale one day when I came across the expres- sion “Where you see one, you see another,” and basing my work on that I at once decided that the universe could not have begun from a single atom for that would have been contrary to that statement; therefore, (Continued on page 2) This is San’s fourth trip to the altar in the last nine years. The victim this time is the well known beauty, “Ducky” Davies, who is starring in Hoard’s new musical comedy, “Follies of ’44,” which is now playing on Broadway. oOo “PAUL PRY” RUNS THIRD IN DERBY Paul Pry was one of the two horses running in the Kentucky Derby. The other, Spark Plug, ran first, kept going around, passed Paul Pry at the first quarter post, came second and lost third by only a neck. Paul Pry is owned bv A. T. Howard, who is quite a familiar figure on the most famous race track in the world. A reporter interviewed Mr. Howard and he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, it may sound like I’m boasting, but T attribute the success of Paul Pry to his daily use of Woodbury’s Soap.” (Not one cent was paid Mr. Howard by the Woodbury Co. for making this statement.) (Ed. Note— He was paid by the Lux Co.) oOo CLINIC Dr. Robert Griffin is now holding a children’s clinic in this city. He has done much toward eliminating the dirty necks and ears that the moth- ers and teachers had to contend with in the past, and his name has become a household word. Powell Button and II. N. Hutcherson completed their round-world non-stop flight in 49 hours, 49 minutes and 49 seconds, which broke the for- mer record held by Russell Cur- tis. Curtis’ time was 50 hours, 50 minutes and 50 seconds. The boys landed at 5:55 last night on the field which was covered with about twenty people. As they landed, the crowd went wild and putting them on their shoulders, they took the boys up to the Mayor’s house. The Mayor happened to be in bed, but the boys didn’t mind that and neither did the Mayor. He came out front in his night shirt and delivered a welcoming address, and then he took a couple of medals out of the pocket in his undies and pinned them on the boys. The strange thing about the whole thing is that neither of the boys has ever flown a plane before. This is the way it hap- pened; they were down at the flying field the other dav, and they asked one of the pilots to let them sit in his plane as they had never been in one before. Well, he gave them permission and the first thing he knew they were roaring down the field. When they landed, they told him that they were unable to turn it. so they kept on going and finally they came back to the same place they had left.
