Histor of the Class of T33 One September day in 193-l the entire county of Lincoln was bustling around. That was the day that our class. one hundred and fifty-six strong, began its memorable journey that is now ending, yet in a broader sense, not ending, but beginning. We entered the Freshman year with wide, wondering eyes, but since we are such an extraordinarily smart group, it did not take us long to accustom ourselves to the new regime: new school, new teachers, new subjects, a new dignity, new everything. How childish those seventh-graders are, running around playing tag in such an undignified mannerf We are far too grown-up for such carryings-on. Thus our infantile ideas dropped from us lin our opinionsl at the doors of High School. To excell scholastically was our aim, and we were not disappointed, Every year, every month, a big proportion of our class has made the honor roll. liven Latin, algebra, and general science, subjects of which we had never heard before, didn't faze us-much. Some of our ambitious teachers organized the Drama Guild and we were quite confident that we would be ready to go on Broadway at any time. lt didn't last, but we still think there is hidden talent in our class, We advanced in due fashion to our Sophomore year. Here we happily delved into crayfish and fought the Helvetians, Some of our group, we are sorry to relate, did not advance with us. Perhaps they were too interested in the lessons that we were leaving! One of our members. Elizabeth Mauney, brought us fame with her histrionic talent. Ahf daisy-picking time, the time to which all Sophs look with eagerness, their teachers with dread. Under Miss Hoke's guid- ance we made a very respectable chain for our big brothers and sisters, the seniors. Undaunted by any minor troubles, such as studying, 'we still advanced, and there we were Juniors. There was some parting of the ways here for different courses. Some drew our own home-town Miss Gamble for history, while others suffered happily under Coach Smith, little realizing that was to be his last year with us. We are proud of our Glee Club. for now it has a period all its own. We published the school paper, The lVo1f. which our predecessors had estabf lished. Probably some of us got experience from this that will help us to be reporters, The high spot of our Junior year came with our return to the custom of giving a Junior play. 'Por Pete's Sake was a riot. and a challenge to the seniors to act their best. At last, through the struggles of the class, our teachers. our president, Mildred Chronister, and her committee we were able to give the seniors a grand send-off with a party at the Hut. Although we entered our Senior year without some of our old faculty standbys. we have secured some valuable new ones. Mr. l,owder has taken over the reins of the senior class, and a very able driver he makes, too. We hope that we, with the National Honor Society leading. have made the forward step in the establishment of Student Government for l-. H. S.. and didn't we have a real initiation for the Honor Societyf Really, we are quite diversified. We settle affairs of the nation in govern- ment, criticize Shakespeare in English, try typing contests, and take algebra all over again lpoor Miss Hokel J. Naturally, with Roddy Cline as our president and Charles Echols editor-in-chief of the PINE BURR. we couldn't help making a success of this our last year. As we stand looking back, shrunken in size but not in spirit, we realize that there is much that we haven't done that we should have. but this isn't the end of this journey. Onward we go, Class of '38, to new and better things. SADIE BARINEAU, Class Hisrorian. Page Fifteen NINETEEN THlB'l'Y-EIGHT ,1q:',g.'. mv n af' 'Le I. th 'E ,

Senior Class Prophecy -1938 As the Class of lfllfi was contemplating its coming commencement exercises, it fell to my lot to forecast the futttre of these fair damsels and gallant young men. After vainly endeavoring to cultivate what is commonly known as second sight. I conclttded that prophetic vision was not my strongest point: btit in the summer of lU5O. it was my good fortune to learn the fate of those yoting ladies and gentlemen who were once carefree and happy school girls and boys in the old historic town of l.incolnton. It came abottt in this way: I was called ottt Vsfest on business and while passing through the state of Wyoming the train was wrecked and the passengers were forced to alight at a small station. I wandered about the place impatiently waiting for the outward hound train. when I noticed a big black cloud in the north, Almost immediately it became dark and I felt myself being whirled around and lifted very rapidly ttpward. After what seemed an hour of constant whirling I found myself in a strange place. XVhen I dared look arottnd. I saw an old man coming toward ms. He had a long white beard which nearly reached to the ground. Ile inquired who I was and whence I came, I told him and he said. You are now on one of the inferior planets of which I am the high priest. Yott came to me in a cyclone and there is but one way to return, That is by allowing yourself to be put into a trance. To this I readily consented, The high priest made some strange signs and I soon felt drowsy. The first thing I realized was that I was looking down on the Iiarth, and I-oY In Chicago I saw Sylvia Rudisill and Helen Bandy playing in the Phil-harmonic Symphony Orchestra. Then I saw a huge building which is headquarters for a larg: chain of grocery stores. Harry Costner is the president and Ruth Britt the secretary. Next I saw Marshall Field, the largest department store in the world. where Clara I.ee Devine is a clerk and Ruth Vtfise a cashier. Bright lights attracted my attention and I saw Harold Craig as owner and manager of a theatre in Chicago. .Jimmy Mundy's latest pictttre. Musical Merry-GofRound. has been called back for a return engagement Another array of lights. and Margaret Ramsaur, the charming lyric soprano, had just entered Metropolitan Opera House, The scene changed and I looked down into New York. How immense it seemed! My eyes fell immediately on an up-to-date Jewelry htore in which Clara Mae Brotherton, as manager, is very prosperous. I scanned The Metropolitan Isife' Instirance Building, where, to my surprise, Frances Killian is a bookkeeper. There, too, on a street was Frances Robinson looking for some important person in New York in order to get an interview for The New York Advocate, a daily paper. of which Billy Hoffman is lzdttor-infChief. More bright lights! I saw Virginia Elliott. a very attractive chortts girl, in The Midnight Follies, on Broadway. As I moved farther along. I observed an aeroplane flying from New York to Charlotte. I looked in and saw Celestine Abernethy, a charming air hostess, and Bob Garrison the pilot. As I glanced at the passengers, I saw Ildna Shttford returning to Charlotte. She had been to New York to btty novelties for Keeners Department Store in Charlotte of which Bill Keener is head. Then. to my surprise. I fottnd myself looking down on Vassar College. Delighted, I found Norva Jane Porter. an excellent basketball coach for the girls, ttsing many points from Miss Hoke's training. In my trance, m.y vision being carried a little farther south, I espied Baltimore. There I saw l.illian Crowell in formal evening dress. a social debtttante. Then I looked into a huge building. Johns Hopkins Hospital, where Rachel l.eonard and Helen Carpenter are attentive nurses. On leaving the hospital, I noticed a small but neat ofhce on one of the businesss streets. This proved to be headquarters for Madolyn Thorne. interior decorator. A glance toward Annapolis revealed Norman l'air as a lieutenant in the United States Navy. As I passed over Boston, the only outstanding event was a Charity Board meeting in the City Hall with the president. Mildred Chronister. The National Capitol, The Wliite House, XVashington's Monument all thrilled me, but Congress was in session. I found Sadie Barineau there, the first Congresswoman from North Carolina. Dimly at hrst. then clearer. I recognized a city, Memphis. Tennessee. I immediately saw the radio station, XVMX, where Ifrmintrude I ittle was giving a daily broadcast on Successful Taffyfmakingf' NVhen she had hnished, Jake Rhode. a popular announcer, gave the station identihcation.
