We think of classmates true and dear, With Whom We have to part, Of teachers who have helped us on, Each with a grateful heart. We have reached the parting of the Way, That we have trod so long, Each has his goal toward which he strives And so We hasten on. So, High School days, We say farewell, Days gone to come no more, But, in future years, when memory turns, We'll live you o'er and o'er. M. LUCILE HESTER Class Poet xtlly, Dr, :af ,Q

History of the Senior Class Cn September. in the year 1929, a group of merry, care-free boys and girls entered the portals of Lincolnton High School, for the purpose of pre- paring for the future and learning to meet competently the things that it held in store for them. Each and every one of the members of our senior class will always cherish that memorable day on which we made our entrance to a school that is regarded as one of the outstanding establishments of the State of North Carolina. That first year was a hard one, but we were rewarded for all of our labor, when at the end of the year, we knew that we had won the admiv ration of our teachers and fellow students, We began our second year of high school with a great deal of confidence. With the aid and guidance of our worthy oflicers and by laboring diligently and industriously we finished the Sophomore year of our high school career very creditable indeed. Cur Junior year began with the election of our class ofhcers. With Elmore Goodson as president, and Mary Robinson, Julia Schronce and Colleen Gabriel as able assistants, we began our work with all seriousness. We worked faith- fully in order to obtain money with which to finance the Junior-Senior Ban- quet. A great many parties, festivals, and entertainments were given for this purpose. The banquet, which was given at l.ithia Inn, was enjoyed very much by every one present. At the close of the year, marshals, which were chosen from the Junior class, figured in commencement. In 1933 our class. having grown rapidly during the last two years, has become very large. With Paul Mundy as the able executive of our Senior class. we have met with success all our requirements and have quickly accomf plished all that we have undertaken. In spite of the fact that our school term is only eight months in length. we have studied diligently and covered all of our work. With Sallie Brown Clark as editor-in-chief, our high school annual, rlillli PINI2 BURR, has been finished. and we are greatly relieved at finding one of our most difficult problems successfully completed. Qur High School career is quickly drawing to a close, and we know that soon we must part. We have spent four years in diligent preparation for the future, and although we do not know what the future holds for us, we are unafraid for we know that we have done our best and will continue to do so, and no man can do more.

' :..- v-.. , ' - ,rgaf-1'-' -N-, . , - 1 Senior Class Prophee tBeing extracts from the diary of Margaret Brevardj JUNE l. 1947-How weary I am from having slaved all winter with the reports of the United Stated Fire Insurance Company. I had no idea that being promoted to the main office in Philadelphia would mean even greater responsibility. Well. vacation is here and I shall travel and travel and forget how weary I am of reports and hgures. JUNE Z-As I was eating lunch in the dining car. just after leaving Philadelphia. I hapf pened to look down the aisle from me and there I saw a familiar face. Could this changed pompous creature be Billy Grigg? Just then he recognized me and joined me. He said he was congressman from North Carolina. Seeing Billy made me think of I.incolnton. Billy informed me that Iiorace Richards is the newly elected sheriff. I know he will make a good one. Tonight when I got off the train and started to call a taxi. some one called me by my first name. Who in the world knew me way up here? NVhen I looked around it was Bill Jetton. who took me to my hotel in his Rolls Royce. And he said he and Mrs. Jetton would call for me at six o'clock to take me to his fashionable Fifth Avenue restaurant. Ahf already in societyl While eating we were talking over old times. asking about our old school friends. They told me that Glenn I.acky and Ifranklin Anderson owned a large theater on Broadway. and that Linda Vklarlick was the director of their orchestra in the theater. Also that Helen Beam was the matron at Columbia University. NVell. it seems as if New York has all of our school-mates. NVhat a glorious evening I have had' JUNE 3-This morning Linda Vwlarlick took me to an exclusive dress shoppegthe owner was none other than Frances Warlicl-.. Another surprise? This afternoon we went to a show. The picture was l'Two Lovers and the star was Patil Moore. who has made quite a success in Hollywood. The Twins was the first vaudeville announcement: two girls tripped out- the Jenkins sistersfw I just had to say it aloud. I.inda said they had played all over the world. Tonight we went to the Opera. Pauline McGee sang there and was applauded more than any of the other singers. This did not surprise me very much. because I remembered how well she sang while in Old I.incolnton High. JUNK 4+Today my friends went with me to the train. I had some business to attend to in South Bend. Indiana. On my way I stopped at Cincinnati. Ohio. Here I decided to go to South Bend by airplane. Goodness. my pilot was John Yoder. and I surely felt safe. He told me that Ralph Mullen and Julius Hoffman were also pilots at this airport. On our trip I turned on the radio and the announcer for the Columbia Broadcasting Station was George I.ingerfelt. He was on day duty and his brother. Melvin. was on night duty. XVe landed safely and I went straight to a palatial hotel owned and operated by Robert Jonas. I know I shall enjoy my stay. JUNE 5-Notre Dame played Navy here today. As I had never seen them play I went. I'll never regret seeing that wonderful game. Bill Mauney was the coach. Daniel I.ockman and Guy Keener were the assistant coaches. Patil Kistler and Wade Hallman are the basket- ball coaches there also. After the game I went down to speak to Bill. Bill had never married. so he asked me to go out with him to dinner. He told me that John Rudisill coached at Tulane. These boys surely had a good beginningg no wonder they are such a success. Bill said he was going to Chicago tomorrow and for me to go with him and get the biggest surprise of my life. JUNE 6-We reached Chicago about ten o'clock. took a sigbtfseeing bus to go around the city. The driver was Hal Schronce. Just think. Hal from Iincolntonf Therefore I really enjoyed my ride. This afternoon I went to the ball game. And did I get a surprise? Charles Tilson played second base and Elmore Goodson third. Charles is quite famous now and always plays a grand game of ball. btit that is not unusual. We had a good time at the hotel tonight. Charles came over and Elmore and Mrs. Goodson came also. So we had a party. They told us lots of news about our old class friends. Julia Schronce is coach of a girls' basketball team. Lillian Leonard is an artist and has won mitch fame with her exhibitions. Ruth Beam is head nurse at John Hopkins Hospital. Woodrow Armstrong got rich on an electrical invention. Calvin Padgett is a famous doctor and his wife. the former Colleen Gabriel. helps him much in his profession.
