This group of one-, hundred and seventeen will leave one of the most enviable records ever established by a class. The largest from its freshman year, o ne hundred and forty-six members started out together. To guide their first efforts, the group chose Joe Staton as president and Doris Duval as secretary-treasurer. No important things were accomplished in these beginning years. It was as Juniors that this group started their splen- did record. Joe Staton was again chosen as president; Baxter Clark was elected vice-president; Jane Rowlette, treasurer and Marjorie Sugg, secretary. Under the guidance of these officers the 1938 graduates began to prove their ability as a class, for they gave their superiors a Junior-Senior banquet which will long be remembered. Selected as marshals for their scholastic achievements, Louis Mayo, Helen Taylor, Elizabeth Meadows, Mary s s History Agnes Deal, Allen Taylor, Earle Hellen, Thornton Ryan. Helen But;ner, Frances Clark and Baxter Clark served as ushers at all school functions during their junior year. Seniors throughout this year have been leaders in all activities. Athletic teams have numbered many of this year ' s graduates on their squads. Journalism would have failed to achieve its high honors without the help of tireles- seniors who never believed in quitting. Stu- dent government found much of its inspiration from this year ' s cla. ' ' S. A capable group of leaders has directed the work of the class. James Whitfield was chosen president for this final year; while Jane Rowlette and Mary Agnes Deal were selected as vice-president and secretary. Scholarship was not neglected in the rush of activities, for one-third of the members ranked in the upper level of grades. As ih.eir final official activity, the senior play was presented and pronounced a decided success. Class P r We are happy now, here at Alcatraz, for it is a heaven in comparison to G. H. S., the place from which_we escaped some fifteen years ago. Our only solace is Baxter Clark, who is serving time for mistreating his wife, Doris Duval, and their children. When we first escaped ' from G. H. S, we hitch-hiked a ride with James Whitfield and Jean Gaskins, who had been married three days before in Florida by Rev. Frederick Carrico. They were on their way to Brooklyn to visit James ' former sweetheart, Mimi. On our arrival in New York, Mayor R. 0. Everett welcomed us and showed us the town. One of the high spots was Tom Skinner ' s Spicy Night Club, where we found Elizabeth Meadows, Helen Taylor and Annie Ruth Tucker working as hat-check girls. The head waiter, Francis Oakley, ushered us to a table just across the floor from the world ' s most beloved lovers, Emmy Lou Scales and Norman Wilkerson. After we ' d given our order for champagne, our eyes naturally turned toward the floor show. Right there before our eyes was the dazzling figure of Ruby Grant doing ner famous dance number. Hearing a terrific noise, we looked up to see the bouncer, Bobbie Hollar, throwing Hubert Roberts out by the seat of the pants. As soon as things had calmed down, along came the cigarette girls; one of whom was Nina Smith. Imagine our surprise when the club was raided by Detectives Clifton Evans and Ashley Corbin, who rushed us out with scant ceremony to a patrol car driven by Thornton Speed Ryan. We were taken to a night court, presided over by Judge Bert Darden, and there saw the famous gangster Two-Gun Atlas Wooten who was in court for just having bumped off his moll, Helen Butner. Our trip to court was played up in the New York Extra, a paper published by Allen Taylor and Earle Hellen. We did not have to tarry in jail long for our stand-by, Edgar Ca se, came and bailed us out. We spent the rest of that hectic night in the Norman Coward Hotel. Norman suggested the next day that we invite to lunch our old friends, Tom Parrish, C. B. Allen and Dallas Peele. They rushed away as soon as they had eaten because they had tickets to a ball game at Staton Field. We trailed along and got a great thrill when Ford McGowan knocked a home run. That night we dined and danced at the Warren Brothers Casino, but we had to rpsh on to Madison Square Garden in time for the main bout of a feature boxing match in which Tommy Swain knock- ed out Howard Hodges in the first round. The following day we decided to get down to business and made plans to rob the Harrington Bank of which Tracy Jordan was president and Mary Horne cashier. We pulled the job easily with the help of Elmer and Virginia Cox, Alice Leigh Blow and Leslie Babcock. These last o p h e c y two weren ' t much help to us for they had just got married. The job called forth iSO much comment in the papers that we had to go to the Helen Bunch Beauty Salon and have our faces lifted by Mildred Rogers, Virginia Allen and Edna Cannrn. Captain Frank Briley, of the Queen Mary, wired us at 6:30 that they were sailing at 6:45, so we hop- ped a taxi and rushed to the dock. Passing through the park, we saw Charles Futrell ana Adline Barnhill pitch- ing a little woo. In the fishing district, we saw Myra Blount and Charles Clark returning from pulling in their daily bread. As we were boarding the ship, we heard somebody yelling, so we looked around to see Frances and M. S Smit h and their little dears waving us a sad farewell. On arriving at our staterooms, we found Elizabeth Gates was to be ovY stewardess. Just then there was a knock at the door; we opened it to find Norman Fleming with a note from th;it slow leak, Dubose Simpson, saying that he and Jerry Sanders were on their honeymoon and would be very honored to have us dine with them. At eight we were seated in the dining salon, listening to the music of Bostic ' s Band, whose slogan was, Sing and Grin with little Q uinn. Their beautiful torch singer, Mabel Edwards, added to the spirit of the occasion with her vivacity. During the evening Captain Briley brought Count Brinkerhoff to our table, and who should the count prove to be but Beverly Joyner. It was then that we planned to defraud the handsome millionaire playboy, John Marvin Elks. Dot S. was to take him out in the moonlight and wrench a proposal from him while the dirty worker, Walt Tucker, was to perform the illegal ceremony. Before we could carry out our plans, Cather- ine Smith threw John to the sharks in a jealous rage. That night we rifled the papers of the ivory king, Howard Harris, and stole the only map to the Elephant ' s grave- yard. Since we were cruising down the Eastern seaboard we left the boat secretly, hired Wahoo Charles Horne, who chanced to be passing, and started out for South Africa. After wandering around for two years we finally got to Hawnii. There on Waikiki Beach, we found Lula Mae and LaRue doing the hula hula while Daniel Saieed, famous football player, looked on. Feeling hungry, we purchased sandwiches from a lunch stand operated by Willie Dell House. She waited on us between smooches from her two sailor friends. Jack Moye and Louis Mayo. Thus fortified we were set on our course by the life guards, Charles Briley and Graham Allen. Arriving in South Africa five years later, we hired a rich young Gay- lord as our guide. Making our way toward the ivory we saw Tarzan ' s (Continued on page fifteen) May 27, 1938 GREEN Last Will an We, the departing seniors of 1938, who after serving our four years to the best of our ability and without com- plaint, being about to leave the hallowed walls of this educational institution, do from the fullness of our hearts make these last bequests to our unfortunate brothers and sisters who must remain students for another year.

Page Twelve GREEN LIGHTS May 27, 1938 Junior Class As a result of the reorganization of the high school to include a twelfth grade, this year ' s Junior Class, com- po-sed of twenty-three students, will constitute next year the smallest graduating class in many years. Although small in number the Junior Class, combined with the faculty, entertained the seniors with an excellent Junior- Senior banquet-dance. John Lautares, president, and Mrs. Luther Herring, adviser, were largely responsible for the succes.s cf tho party. Tenth Grad The tenth grade, one hundred fifteen strong, will have the unique distinction of being the first class to graduate under the twelve-year program. Officers for the year have been Jane Hardee, president; Buddy Harrington, vice-president; and Lucy Nobles, secretary-treasurer. Advisers have been Miss Evelyn Rogers, Miss Jessie Schnopp, Mr. Herman Dally and Mr. Elmer Robinson.

Sweet little Fannie has promised not to leave Flossie alone over four nights a week unless Ben shows up. News item in Dry Gulch Evening Herald: Kenneth Never Misses Henderson, racketeer, bootlegger and in- come tax evader, arrived htre this morning to spend some time at his hideout at M. S. Smith ' s Billiard Parlor. Henderson has been spending a Lwelve-year vacation at Federal Pi ' ison, No. 1095618. Never Misses is remem- bered in Dry Gulch as the man who killed One-Arm Pete in a street brawl here fifteen years ago. Joe Staton, flash of our student body, came to school this morning with a new Cadillac automobile. Joe re- cently toie up four new Buicks that were purchased for him by his father. Quoth Joe, I got tired of tearing up cheap cars so I got me a Cadillac. I promise to make the new car last at least two weeks. No car has ever held out this long under Joe ' s operation. At the annual convention of high school baseball coaches held in Chicago last week, Herman Dally of the Greenville high school athletic staff was honored for his work in the advancement of baseball. It seems that Pitchers Tucker and Hodges had so much trouble in find- ing the plate during the past season, that spectacles and binoculars were made a part of the standard equipment. Next ser.son twenty-five thousand coaches are expected to follow Coach Daily ' s lead. Tracy Jordan, latest screen sensation, was mobbed by 10,000 admiring females yesterday as he got off his private roach at Pennsylvania station. Quoth the Jordan, I don ' t know what I ' ve got, but it must be something. The movie idol recently met Robert Taylor in a duel for the affections of Myrna Loy. Jordan reports that Earle Hellen recently completed his job as stand in for Ga Ga in Her Jungle Love. A petition of complaint, signed by fifty G. H. S. base- ball fans, has been placed in the hands of Mr. Herman Dally, cojch of the hopeless Greenies. The petition charges that the local outfielders go into so many circles trying to catch f ' yballs, that the spectators are left too dizzy to enjoy the game. James Whitfield, local dirri-wit and liar extraordinary, is organizing a matrimonial agency for the purpose of eliminating bachelors and old maitls. He is expecting much business from the fsculty when their old-age pen- sion checks arrive next week. Crutchei will be awarded to the first pair of pedagogues who limp to the altar. High school students recently met with a sudden sur- prise when it became known that Mr- Bryan and Mrs. Bowen had eloped. Beth will be sued for bigamy if they are ever found by local officers. Bobby Hollar, that G. H. S. Romeo, was arrested in the slums of the city h::t night cn charges of breaking and entering the Pitt County A. B C. store. It was soon learned that Bobby ' s action was blamed on the breaking of his heart by the notorious Rubv. Running a close second in the recent superlatives.

When we had reached the treasure we were de- lighted to find it unmolested. Just then we heard an airplane overhead which we signaled by smoke. When it landed nearby we were delighted to see Kenneth Htn- der?on step from the cabin. We loaded the ship with as much ivory as we could and took off. Jean Abeyounis, the hostess on the ship, certainly was considerate of our every need. The trip was uneventful until we had to stop for a traffic light, when who should pul! up beside us and order us to land but a government plane! We were arrested for murder and robbery by G-nien Forrest Minges and Wilbur Brown. They radioed President Jimmy Wells that w had finally been captured. Since he was busy making love to his, wife, Kate T ' oley, he had his secretary, Martha Mingts, wire us to report to court in Reno. Ar- riving there our guards allowed us one night to make his- tory, so we got in touch with the gay divorcees, Clara Dudley, Margaret Moore and Vivian Morton, who showed us all the night spots. Margaret Jones gave us some lectures on How To Get Your Man which so inspired us that we resolved to try her advice on the judge. William Laughinghouse was our jailer and proved to be a friend, but the judge, the Honorable James Smith, was in a vile humor because he was having a quarrel with his wife, nee Mattie Lawrence Holliday. He slapped a The G. hi. S. Prevaricator (Continued are expected to arrive immediately to sign up the Green- ville Gable.

Knowing that we would be expected to put on the dog at Alcatraz, we ordered some creations from the Roberts sisters, whose shop was featuring designs by William Harris. We had heard from them that Wilton Highsmith and Tessie Campbell were already at Alcatraz. Our guards softened up a bit and let us stop for a brief interview with some of the movie stars. Gone With The Wir.d had finally been started with Hazel Garris and John Johnson in the leading roles. They were to be supported by Wiley Rae Hardee, Lena Mae Smith, Mar- gueritte Moore, Christine Clark and Virginia Boyd. Hav- ing spent the patience of our guards, we were started on our way again. As we passed through the outskirts of Hollywood, we saw the school for the deaf and dumb where Mary Agnes Deal and Nell Merritt were continu- ing their education. Poor Dorothy Brinkley got so home- sick — she used to teach there before she started her career of crime. All too soon we an-ived at our doom. Warden and bugle blower Stephen Walters greeted us in a solemn manner, but an appeal to his friendship on Margie ' s part secured for us rooms in the cell block instead of the dun- geon. We figure that our chance for escape are better here, especially since Charlotte has been flirting with some ball players who are excellent deep sea divers. So if you hear of our escape don ' t be surprised! from page fourteen) ■ ' Marjorie Sugg, remembered as the wall flower of G. H. S., has announced that she will open a home for old maids next week. Marjorie says, Because I was left out myself, I feel I am fitted to fill the job as their lead- er. Needles and yarn were the first purchase made by the officers of the society for old maids. Myra Blount, Jane Rowlette and Marie Smith will assist Miss Sugg in her new venture. Trixie Duval, that modern G. H. S. siren, entertained a number of her social friends last night when she de- monstrated her fanless-fan dance to the inmates of the N. C. State prison. Club Recently organized as an extra-curricular activity, the Radio Club is the most exclusive club in school Comprising the club are Louis Mayo, president; Joe Broadhurst, vice-president; Bruce Mayo, James Mayo and Heber Adams. E. R. Robinson is adviser of the group. In the near future the club plans to operate an amateur radio station. Page Sixteen GREEN LIGHTS May 27, 1938 Under the leadership of H. A. McDougle, the Green- ville High School band is making rapid strides toward giving the school a band of first-class proportions. The organization has long bsen an asset to the school by play- ing for the various functions. In addition the band has played fcr several out-of-town occasions. Each year the group, composed of forty students, has entered the North Carolina Music Festival contests at Greensboro. Greenville High School Glee Clubs Since its organization two years ago at the innova- tion of a twelve-year program, the Junior High School Glee Club has quickly made a place for itself in regular routine of the high school. Like the other music organ- ization in the school, the Junior High Glee Club also en- tered thp State contests. Miss Mozelle Jones is director of the group. As one of the oldest organizations in the school, the G. H. S. Gke Club has played a vital part in establishing the reputation of Greenville High School as a leader among the schools of the .State. The Senior High School group, directed by Miss Ona Shindler, has represented the school in the annual Greensboro contests for several years, each time creating a favorable record.

Rose has taken an active part during t he past year in advancing the theory of student cooperaltive government in Greenville High School. At the present he is a member of the finance committee of this organization. During th; coming year Mr. Rose will devote much of his time ccmpleting plans for the new high school. James L. Li,ttle, chairman of the school board of the city of Greenville, has always advocated a progressive school program. For a generation Mr. Little has been known as an outstanding educator ana friend of the schools. He and the other members of the school board are now working to secure a new school building, which will house either the junior or senior high. t i ii|i iii((iiii iiii,M , 1 Holding the honor of having been the first to be elected president of the stud-ant body is Louis Mayo.

Composed of fifteen students, the group might well be called a dramatics club, for the mem- bers have presented several delightful programs to the student body. Foremost among these was the Christmas program with the dialogue in French. Also dramatiza- tions of short stories have been made at the meetings. Louis Mayo headed the organization this year while Geraldine Taylor acted as secretary. Debate Club The Debate Club, under Mr. T. C. Bryan ' s guidance, has been an active group all year. Outstanding effort of the club was its participation in the State triangular debate contest.

With their leadership the department has come to be recognized as one of the most pro- gressive in the state. In addition to guid- ing the regular projects of the department at school, Misses Schnopp and Rogers have made one hundred twenty-five visita- tions and have carried on a vocational pro- gram in the community. in the home economics apartment on Fourth Street, to which additional furnish- ingj have been added since last year, a large number of girls have lived each week- end this spring. Here, also, have been •given r any parties, dinners and teas. Out ' tanding public appearance of the Home Ec Club was in connection with the Better Homes program early in May. Two special assemblies were devoted to this theme. Distributed at the senior high program sponsored by this group were copies of The Homemaker, a nine- page magazine-newspaper edited by the Home Ec Club. Mary Agnes Deal was editor of the publication and Lucy Nobles assistant. Duiing the year a Better Playground exhibit and HOME ECONOMICS JESSIE SCHNOPP contest was supervised by this department; fifteen play- grounds were entered in the contest.
