Q Qi I 51 -NC-5:52 :ETE-5. flags .E e E1-, rsgigz CLASS PRoPHEoY ONE JUNE DAY in nineteen hundred and sixty, on a station platform in Chicago, I boarded a train homeward after a long trip. As I did so, whom should I meet but Jack Parkhurst as conductor on the train. I took a seat and met an old school mate, Elizabeth McClellan, who is now a famous poetess. We began talking of our old school days at Highland Heights and I learned that Idanelle Moss and Mozelle McGowan were now beauty operators in Louisville. She then told me that J. W. Fly was now a minister of the largest Church of Christ in Memphis and Mildred Farmer and Juanita Blackwell were actresses in Holf lywood, California. Mildred was playing as little Mickey. I asked about several others and learned that Brent Hager, Charles Stumph, Forest Robertson, Powell Pardue and Frances Arnett were artists. As I arrived at my destination I bid Elizabeth goodfbye, hoping to see her again soon. Upon arriving home I met many old friends-as I walked to the door I met an old friend, Ewin Miller, who asked to take me to the Country Club. We caught a taxi to the club and at the club we met Jere Bowen, who began a conversation about the old friends of the senior class in nineteen hundred and thirtyffive. James Lish, now the second husband of Louise Howell, was suing for a divorce with Ira McMurtry as his lawyer to grant the divorce. We played golf with James Martin, Warren May, and Russell Ward. We then went back to the club and there was a large orchestra under the direction of Leroy Phillips. The orchestra included Glenn Hammonds, Joe Marchetti, Clarence DePrie.st, with Jimmie Andrews as soloist and Martha Virginia Jenkins as pianist. Those at the dance were Nita Groth, J. D. Morris, Curtis Walker and Verda Pearson. I then started home and met another old friend, Frank Hutchinson, as a car sales' man, who asked to take me home. On the way home he told me of other friends, Pauline Petty and Lillian Cunningham, who are now Bookkeeping Instructors in a High School. Upon my arrival home there was a surprise party awaiting me given by Dorothy Hardaway, one of my old classmates. The guests who met me at the door included Margaret Young, who is now a professional pianist, Roberta Wood, a tap dancing instructor, Louise Sullivan, Frances Stark, and Virginia Stark, who are partners in a Dog and Cat hospital. Mildred Parrish, after many years, has found a way of ref ducing. Thomas Brockett and Billy Price are now teachers of Manual Training at High School. Ernest Bowker and W. T. Cothern are now famous football coaches at Vanderbilt. Among the other guests were Ruby Sullivan and Alice Hitner, who are now printing books on Safety.

It is the Grst time we have had the same Faculty for two successive years. Sometimes it was illness and sometimes Faculty members were taken from us for positions in the High Schools. We believe we are making steady progress. It is a source of gratification to see some of our experiments growing to become the settled policy of other schools in our midst. Our school was the first junior High School in the city to put out a printed newspaper and annual. Results show that this has been a wise move, affording a fine opportunity for journalistic efforts and experience in business methods to get it published and circulated. Also our school pioneered the movement to make a major sub' ject of all required Manual Training and providing a Hxed schedule that did not conflict with academic subjects. This has worked splendid advantage to both Academic and Manual Training Departments. We regret that scarcity of funds due to depression has prevented the expansion in Art and Music that was simultaneously planned. Under great difficulties we are working up rm interest in building up an orchestra. Our school was the first to emphasize the importance of exploring the subjects of Latin and Algebra in the Academic courses by making those subjects compulsory for a half year, allowing the students the option of continuing them or taking other subjects without loss for having made the trial. The results of this experiment are altogether very satisfying. At the same time it is an economical experiment since it consolidates the work in that half grade. Q ' Our Remedial school for the benent of students who needing help in self control or in mastering of lessons is another pioneer development in Highland Heights. It is a necessary adjunct in a department system. It has been standardized under one teacher this year and an accurate record kept every day of every pupil who comes. It is easy to glean from this record that frequently a pupil who gives or has trouble with one teacher, needs attention to his work with another. The principal finds this record of inestimable value in dealing with troublesome students. Miss Malone has rendered very efficient service in the conduct of this school. Our school has with others fostered the general Activity period, believing that it has offered much in the cultural life as well as the formation of character in studentsf The Safety Council and Safety Patrol not only safeguards the lives of the students but inculcates law and order among them and develops wonderfully those who take part in this worthy program. There is no greater control for any group of individuals than self control. The principal wishes to take this opportunity to express his appreciation and thanks to the Safety Patrol of this school as well as Glenn school where the same activity has contributed so much to the discipline of students especially at assembly, at recess and at dismission of pupils. This school and Glenn are also pleased to have had a part with our Truant Officer, Mr. Sam Allen-now better known as school vistor in establishing the attendance. This court of Inquiry stands between delinquent pupils and' the juvenile Court which more properly deals with boys who have a criminal juvenile record. There have been some remarkable improvements in the records of boys brought before this Court. It is quite obvious that the best results in school cannot be obtained unless attendance is good. It is astonishing that parents will take their chil' dren out of school for many very trivial causes, One day out of school frequently causes 40 per cent loss. No lessons on the day the pupil is out and none on the following day because he was absent and didn't know where the lesson was. Our athletic teams have measured up to a good standard this year. Mr. Boyles rendered faithful and efficient service coaching the football team. The Girls' Basketball Team and' the Boys' Basketball Team. The latter were runners up in the league tournament, losing only to Tarbox. He also coaches the Girls' Basketball Team. Mr. Griffin is in charge of the Boys' Baseball Team and also the Marble Tournament and Boys' Hobby Fair. Miss Gulbert was in charge of the Girls' Hobby Fair which won first place over all the junior High Schools of the City and County who entered. fContinued on page '2.'7j Tags Eleven
