Senior Class Prophecy lFrom the Book of the Futurel For most people Father Time keeps the pace of the world, but I am permitted to pause from my medicinal study and delve into the Chronicles of the Future, between the famous years of 1935 to 1950. As the pages are turned for me, I am amazed to find prominent the names of so many of my former classmates. Yes, it is just as we thought back in 1935. The world just couldn't do without us. Miss Ruby Lineberger, soloist, accompanied by Miss Nancy Arrowood, church organist-I could have guessed that back in high school days. A new shop announcing its opening-The Asbury-Avery Shoppe. That must be Elizabeth and Willie Mae. Among the charming clerks. we find Elizabeth Boggs. Mary Finger, Jean Elmore. Frances Grigg, Inez Holly and Lucy Schrum. No wonder it's so popular. A political election held recently shows the follow- ing results: For Sheriff, Wilson Reinhardt, 367, and John Cline, 3663 for Clerk of the Court. James Shives, 100, Jack Rhodes, 675. In the same elec- tion Walter Clark was declared Mayor. Ethel Hunter, Annette Childs, and Augusta Boring are operating the Le Shazo Beauty Parlor in New York. Their assistants are Mina Leonard, Pauline Jones, Mary Nette Link, and Jane Page. On November 17th, Coach Paul Rhyne's Wolves will tackle Notre Dame in the most exciting game of the season in Philadelphia. Among his eleven are Ray Kiser, Joe Nixon, Charles Little, Calvin Shuford, Glenn Heaf- ner, Warren Wilkinson and James Goodson. The Scandals opened in Washington last night with George White, II. carrying on the work of his famous father. Some of the girls in the first row of the chorus were the three Hallman sisters, Florence Hartman, Oleka Wil- liams and Harrilee Link. Dr. James Gamble, whose wife was formerly Miss Catherine Yoder, is head surgeon at the new Reeves Hospital. Among the nurses we find Mary Frances Mundy, Antha Huggins and Dorothy Dellinger. The new coach of the girls' basketball team of Lincolnton High School is Miss Lida Turbyfill, assisted by Miss Ruth Fortenberry. Webb Martin, Fred Kiser and Joe Dellinger are drivers on the Queen City Bus Line. They were good bus drivers in high school. Clyde Frye is playing professional baseball in Washington. I wonder if he is as comical as he used to be. Bob Whisnant, George Mullen. John Smith and Ed Smith are competitors of the four Mills brothers. When did those boys learn to sing? Fred Self and Lee Wolfe Starnes are Powell Bros. strongest competitors. Floyd and Mack Lackey are pilots for the Eastern Air Transport Company. Page Twenty-one

Senior Class History ln the fall of one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one, 166 boys and girls began their weary climb for the magic day, called Graduation, when our trials and pleasures in high school would be over. Realizing our inferiority to the upper classmen, we were more determined to make a place for ourselves, and so we did. As was to be expected, our studies were more difficult in the Sophomore year than our first adventure had been: but we had our sister class, the Seniors, who offered hearty cooperation and friend- ship to help us through. Pls the year flew by, we had become accli- mated and our hearts had warmed to our dear old High School. By the third year our class had dwindled to l35. As we pur- sued our studies, there began a rivalry with the Senior Class. This year was regarded as a very enjoyable one. Foremost among our pleasures was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Here our class made im- portant contributions to the school as marshals and members for the National Honor Society. We were genuinely sorry to see the year come to a close. But soon came the long anticipated year, with all its pro- foundness and superiority. There was nothing to do but take life as it came, a mad whirl of electing oflicers, buying rings, selecting invitations, having pictures made for the annual, and editing the 1935 PINE BURR. For our class there were joys and sorrows, strug- gles and victories. To us came the opportunity to fulfill all the Senior privileges about which we had so often heard during our past three years. We hope we've played our part well and that our sojourn in Lincolnton High School has been a creditable one. We depart from our Lincolnton High with regret, but with us go many joys and memories of happy days lived under the influence of our beloved High School. MozELLE SENTER, H isroricm. Page Twenty
