The stumbling blocks of our freshman year were the much dreaded subjects: algebra and science. Some faltered: some failed: others with grim determination struggled onward, over the first line of trenches. During the sophomore year our work became different. Some tackled the French monster, while others subdued Caesar. Qthers braved the worms and crayiish of Biology, and sieges of chivalry warfare. These struggles ended happily in a hasty onslaught of daisy picking and chain carrying for our most successful comrades, the seniors. Our Junior year brought forth new ventures in the history of Lincolnton High School. We founded a monthly paper containing the news and gossip of the campus. As the Wolf is the insignia of the Hghting spirit exemplified in our high school, the paper was duly named, The Wolf. To climax the happy and successful year as juniors, we entertained the seniors at a very delightful party at Lincoln Lithia Inn. In the fall of 1936 we enrolled as seniors. A brief struggle with governmental facts, Shakespearean tragedies, and geometrical figures led us to the Hnal charge of selecting rings and invitations, publish- ing the annual, and presenting the senior play. Many months passed and suddenly appeared the flag of truce, which made us realize the battle was won. Now, as we leave the battleiield victorious, we realize that our few struggles and hardships will vanish and that there will remain in our minds only pleasant memories of our short days spent together in Lincolnton High School.

SH ili il Ili Iii lll IL' IQ SENIGR CLASS OF '37 Four long years We've marched, and halted. Through the high school's hall of fame, Where soft Words of knowledge Whisper Of the souls Who'Ve played the game. Knowledge opens wide its portals To all who hunger to come in: Deep its mysteries, rare its jewels Gleaming in its secret den. Hard it is to face the breakers, Coming out still eager-eyed, But the persevering conquer Though it be a boisterous tide. We have each won what we'ye fought for, Taking failure, grasping fame: We can make or mar our future . . Shall we make an honored name? Even now our ship is launching With its sails spread high and wide: Time will point out where we anchored, How we waded through the tide. -HAROLD HUFPMAN, Class Poet.

CLASS PROPHECY Finding the task of prophet to be more difncult than I expected, I taxed all of my prophetic powers and gazed deep into the crystal ball. Here I saw a blurred vision. As it became clearer I saw Hal Hoyle. now a famous physician and Bobby Steve Reinhardt, owner of an undertaking establishment. both living in a small town in Tennessee. Business seemed to be thriving and it is rumored that they have quite an understanding between them. As I turned the ball the scene changed, I saw Sarah Ramseur in China doing Mission work. Witlain the walls of a stone building I saw Max Holland auditing the books of the Second National Bank of which Fred Lee Seagle was President. The next scene showed Robert Lineberger. ace news commentator, giving a play-by-play description of an exciting football game between Coach Bill Sigmon's Duke Blue Devils and Coach Paul Lawing's N. C. State Wolves Sitting before a canvass I saw Marybelle Cline, a famous artist, sketching a beautiful landscape. When I again turned the ball I saw a large passenger plane about to leave on a flight from Atlanta to New York. The pilot. much to my surprise, was Bill Aycock and who should be the air hostess but Sally Smith. A thrilling scene next appeared. L. C. Hovis, candidate for Governor was visiting his home town on a speechemaking tour before election. An immense parade was being marshalled by Wilton Hipp, Charlie Keener, Craig Schrum. Wade Wise and .Iake Rhodes. Patriotic airs were being played by Craig Wood's Band. Following the band. came the cavalry led by Captain Charlie Beal and Lieutenants Bob I-Ieafner and Hamilton Blanton. I found that Laura Fox Turbynll and Frona Lee Faker had an exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The famous gowns which were shown at this shop were designed by Mary Alice Rhyne and Martha Newton. Once more I turned my crystal ball and in a modern Beauty Parlor I saw Sibyl Knight and Thelma Proctor, the owners. directing a group of efficient operators. The joint owners of a large circus I discovered to be Clyde Baker and .Ioe Crooks. The next scene that met my view was a cafeteria in Boston. Much to my surprise I recognized Avis Heavner, Mary Keener, Virginia Miller, Duette Grigg and Margaret Dellinger dressed in attractive uniforms and serving food to throngs of people. I found from the crystal ball that Dorothy I-Ioneycutt, Marcene Blaney. Louise Hinkle and Ruth Kiser were appearing in a successful Comedy on Broadway. As I turned the ball again I saw P. D. Hinson operating a radio station. The radio was announcing a prize fight between Vance Yount and James Long. The President of the International Broadcasting Association was John Leonard. A copy of the New York Times flashed before my eyes. In the center of the page was a conspicuous picture of Broadus McCiinnis, its newly elected editor. A crowded theatre now appeared to my wondering view. Who should appear on the stage but Franklin Barkley and his orchestra. At the back of the theatre stood Charles Leonard. the Manager.
