Under the capable leadership of Joe Staton the class has sponsored a num- ber of dances and one of the best Junior-Senior parties ever given in Greenville High. A high percentage of the class makes honor grades and belongs to the Beta Club. Two members, Marjorie Sugg and Louis Mayo, made the Aycock Debating team and entered the final competitions in Chapel Hill. Athletics, music, journalism, and other activities are all well represented by junior students. Other officers of the class besides President Staton are Baxter Clark, Marjorie Sugg, and Jane Rowlette. At the present the Junior class is taking the initiative in formulating plans for a student government organiza- tion next year. Mrs. Herbert Utley Miss Corinna Mial, and V. M.

Page Eight G R E E N L I G H T s May 28, 1937 Class Propffhecy It was last Monday that we newspaper correspon- dents, who got our start on the staff of Green Lights, began our wing trip around the world. Our purpose was to visit all our classmates of the class of '37 and write interesting events for our present publication, The New York Circulatorf' Our crew was composed of Edna May Turnage, pilot and navigator, Pauleen Faust, photo- grapher, and Ernestine Hobgood, flying correspondent. A few nights before we left New York we saw the Ziegfeld Follies featuring Betty Fleischmann and Katherine Davenport. They were de-lovely! Last night we went to the Metropolitan Opera House where we heard Jane Smith in the title role in Carmen, We enjoyed seeing the Yankees play the Athletics yesterday afternoon because Jack Forbes was playing centerfield for the Yankees and Derrel Hemby, first base. Just before we took off for London, we met J. Roy Barker, who was preparing to make a non-stop flight to Alaska to see Madoline Woolard, who is having the time of her life gold digging. - The trip across was full of thrills. Reaching the Croydon airport, we were met by Martin Beach, present Prime Minister of England. He informed us that Mary Woolard was being presented to King George VI that evening. Not being able to get in on this, we motored to Oxford to visit Bernice Ellers, who is coaching football there. Our next stop was Paris. Here we located Mad- emoiselle Pauline Abeyounis who is studyingy French at Sonbonne. On our way to the Louvre to see the master- pieces of Misses Evelyn Tucker and Pat Brooks, we met Billy Whitehurst, French representative of the New York Heraldisn business department. 'M On the Champs-Elysees we ran into the renowned dress designer, Vivianne Hatem. In Berlin we inquired at the hospital to see Dr. Bridgers, who has recently made a most succeessful operation in restoring the eyesight of the dictator of Germany, but he was in conference with several of his assistants. Taxing down Hitler Strausse we had a collision with a limousine out of which stepped Eleanor House and two young ladies. Eleanor explained to us that she was traveling companion for two well-to-do German girls. Eleanor told us that Mary Donald McLawhorn was teach- ing trigonometry in the J. H. Rose High School in Greenville. At 4:30 next morning we flew to Switzerland and nearly met with a very serious accident. It seems that the Swiss ski champion, Mary Lorraine Horne, was attempting a ski jump over the mountains. We met her in mid-air, and our trip continued only after we discover- ed that she came down first. All down to earth safe and sound, Miss Horne told us that she had just heard from Lillian Abee, who was dancing at the Surf Club at Vir- ginia Beach. We went boating in Venice, and came near 'losing our lives when another gondola side-wiped us. The gondolier, an old friend of ours, Gilbert Peele, pulled us aboard and there sat Mildred Langley and Ray Minges-- spooning. Our next stop was Spain. Here we stopped to see a bull-fighter, and the bad and bold Tom Forrest was the center of attraction. We heard from Tom that Ricks Mann was running the Oriental theatre in Chicago and killing pigs in the Chicago stockyard. Tom stopped his bull-fighting long enough to tell us that Virginia Tyndall and Doris Trippe were doing Salvation Army work, and that Catharine Mann was a nun in White Hall Convent. We left for Nigeria the next day. There we met D. S. Harris and John Williams break- ing in their new 1949 ostriches. Edith Harris, who is the Dean of Women at Vassar, was visiting them at the time. Here Louise Saieed was buying Oriental rugs for her New York shoppe. After flying forever, it seemed, we reached Egypt where we saw the dashing DuBose Simpson crooning to the Sphinx in the moonlight. Just brushing up on my technique, said DuBose. We visited Charles Gaskins' new manfacturing plant in which he makes champagne- flavored castor oil. Ann Dupree was his business manager. In Athens, we saw George Lautares in his final championship boxing match. We didn't get to speak to Georgeg he didn't come to until we reached Rumania. Here we saw Marie Simpson and J. A. Joyner in the Olympics. Marie told us that Maude West was head of the knitting department in Macy's in New York, and that Hilda Herring was giving knitting lessons in the same department. ' In India, we met Preacher Marvin Gardner, who said that William Forbes was in the army. In China, Thomas Cox, missionary, introduced us to his wife, the former Alma Harris. We also saw Mary Eakges who is visiting her aunt and we got a glimpse of Rosalyn Swindell, hostess on the China Clipper. Reaching Japan, we bumped into Dorothy Ann Pickelsimer and Earl Dunn riding in a jinrickshaw and eating soup with chopsticks. In Hawaii, we ran across Virginia Bradshaw entertaining a number of friends with the hula-hula. George Clark was host of the party and Mary Eizabeth Peele, was the only guest we knew. Back to the good ole U. S. A. at last, but notfor long. We heard Edward Conway on the radio, the second Dick Powell, and his wife, Lucile Coward. Helen Settle was torch-singer. Elizabeth Holliday is teaching in Miss Jessie Schnopp's nursery school, and we heard that Pearlie Barnhill was teachin French a.t Duke University. Frances Whitley has replaced Martha Raye on the screen, and we visted Miriam James in San Fransico before we left for Mexico. In Mexico we stopped long enough to see the ad- venturous Mac Hicks and hear him tell about Tom Cox who is repairing the Panama Canal. In Argentina, Herbert Rogers is running a sheep ranch and Leon Meadows is managing a duck farm. In Peru, we had the world's greatest crystal gazer, Jack Foley to prophesy our future. He had just reiturned from a tour of the United States and had seen Mabel Beaman, a success in Radio City. In Rio de Janeiro we saw an interpretation of the Rhumba, presented by Dorothy Teel and Ray Munford. Dorothy gave us news of Louise Hunter, manager of a halt shop in Chicago. Also in Brazil we saw Dorothy Harris, head of a chewing gum factory and she told us about Leslie Garner and Belva Harris, who have taken the place of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontainne. We visited a men's clothing shop and saw Junius Goodwin modeling Tarzan leopard skins. In Bermuda, Christine and Pauline Hicks were deep- sea divers. The twins told us about a recent vis-it of Edith Allen, tight rope walker, and Beulah Harrington, landscape designer in Florida. Back to America-this time to stay! Ora Hill has become a -successful home economics teacher in Florida. We had word from Nurse Marie Collver that Georgette Saad and Alberta Baker were both married and living in Tennessee. In Greenville, we visited G. H. S. and saw Prof. Paul Brooks, who has recently taken Mr. Bryan's place, and Eugene Dail who is now printing Green Lights in Parks' place. Eugene told us of Vernon Tyson's success as photographer in Norfolk. We regretted to learn that Helen Perkins was in Pitt General Hospital recovering from a broken wrist, hurt while demonstrating her slogan of Now you're bragging! While here we read of Margie Spivey's campaigns in Kansas, boosting Melva Stokes for governor of Kansas. Incidentally, Iris Hooker is running for president of the United States. During our visit to the high school, Mrs. Bowen told us that Carl Pierce was a cowboy in Montana. On the way back to New York, we stopped at Wash- ington, D. C. to see Robert Musselwhite who has been announcing our flight from the beginning and we learned through him that Rosa Lee McGowan was teaching her favorite pastime, Latin, in Padunk, N. C. We stopped at Joseph Saadfs garage to get our motor checked and he told us of Rosalind Tucker's solo flight across the Black Sea. May all alarm clocks be dashed to pieces and news- papers go to hang-we are going home and get some sleep! And please don't bother us.
