I-I. I-I. S. Some of them I had not seen since graduation. I was interrupted in my thoughts by the arrival of the evening paper whose headlines announced that Edna Camden, now a famous aviatrix, was planning a round- the-world flight. As I turned the pages I found the Advice to the Lovelornn column to be edited by Roberta Pearce and on the sports page there was a feature story about Wil- liam Sirocco as heavyweight champion of the world written by Mildred Purvis. Seeing it was almost eight o'clock, I turned on the radio for my favorite program, Linton Stables, comedian, and as his guests of this evening Dorothy McGuire and her all- I6 THE NINETEEN-FORTY MONELISON MADISON HEIGHTS HIGH SCHOOL girl orchestra composed of Clara Duff, Christine Williams, Iris Gilliam, Holmes May- berry, featuring our class beauty, Olive Abbott, as blues singer. After a few moments I heard the door bell ring and who should it be but Helen Mc- Faden, now the famous glamour girl we see on magazine covers. She gave a great deal of the credit to Marie Ewers's Beauty Salon whose operators are Violet Freeman, Rene Mae Tabor, Norma Wood, and Helen Sirocco. Helen had with her, Toby Arnold, noted illustrator, who suggested we go to the theater to see the new version of C-one With The Wind featuring Elva Proffitt as Scarlett, Herbert Shelton as Rhett, and Charity Turman as Melanie. Leaving the theaterwe called a cab and discovered the heads of the Taxicab Syndi- cate to be none other than Lee Roberts, Calvin Martin, and Miller Johnson. Toby sug- gested we go to the Silver Star nightclub owned by Bill Crews. During the ride there, Helen told me that Ruth Smith was a missionary: Arline Bryant was Home Ec. teacher at the University of Madison Heights, and on the staff were Louise Hesson and Sarah Norman teaching French and English. Also on the staff, she said, were Audrey White. professor of Latin and Elmer Foster, who taught Civics. I asked about Martha Wood and Shirley Ray and learned that they had probably the best dancing school in the coun- try. Helen was interested to learn that Berta Brown, Mary Mitchell, Frances Kost, and Hazel Tomlin were owners of a private school for those interested in scientific research. Arriving at the nightclub we were conducted to our table by the distinguished head- waiter, Frank Stinson. Among the guests present were Frank Tabor, Attorney General and his able assistant, Mary Jane Price: Emmitte Viar, whose book How to Play a Banjo is quite the rage: Albert Hewitt, popular Shakespearian lecturer: and Rosabelle Hunter, successful playwright. Bill Parry, master of ceremonies, at this time presented the human Charlie McCarthy, Frank Lang, our old friend. Following this we were entertained by those famous dancers, Dainese Patterson and Prescott Holt. Among a group of well-dressed men entering the club we recognized Chesley Hume, basketball coach from Monroe High: Walker Free- man who hadinvented a new mousetrap recently: Marvin Proffitt, men's fashion designer: Rennie White, baseball's idol: and Calvin Vest, publicity agent. Coming home in a cab with us was Wilson Matthews who said that he now was owner of a chain of grocery stores. As we drove we watched the flashing neon signs and saw Henry Franklin's Clothing Store: Denver Massie, Insurance Broker: Roy Riner's Music School: Elizabeth l..ankford's Book Store: and Dorothy Duff's Fruit Shop where she sells the products from her Elon Orchard. We drove up in front of my home: I bade Helen and Toby good-night. What a host of memories this night had brought back of classmates and happy hours once spent at M. H. H. S.!

Epi' ..i . v 'lr HISTORY . , . Early in September, I936, we, a tribe of Indians of one hundred-five, came to Madison Heights High School and put .up our wigwams on the Freshman Hunting Ground of knowledge. V The place was rugged: we became discouraged: but by our chieftains' help we kept looking for our game. Our chieftains were Mrs. McClenny, and Mr. Chiltong after the mid-term Mrs. White took Mr. Chilton's place. Many wild animals, some of which were mathematics, science, English, and history, were conquered and this allowed us to move on to new territory. , V In i937 the number of members of our tribe was reduced to sixty-nine as some had failed to reach the Sophomore Hunting Ground. With the help of our chieftains, Miss Bowler and Mrs. Macon, we elected the following officers: Marvin Proffitt, President: Henry Franklin, Vice-Presidentg and Ralph Perdue, Secretary-Treasurer. ' An orchestra was organized in this year under the direction of Mr. Flye. Three members of our tribe who played violins were members. In the spring the student teachers gave members of their classes a Weiner roast at Lynchburg College Lake. Again those who had been successful in the hunt and chase went to seek new ground. On the Junior Hunting Ground in 1938 our tribe consisted of about sixty-six mem- bers, and we had as chieftains, Miss Hogan, Miss Doster, and Miss Dollins. To more 'fully attend to the business of our tribe we elected our officers: President, Olive Abbott, Vice-President, Evelyn Johnsong and Secretary-Treasurer, Martha Wood. A commercial course was installed in the school, with Miss Doster as instructor, in which many warriors and squaws of our tribe were enrolled. Branches of the Beta Club and Hi-Y Club were installed in the school this year. The student teachers gave members of their classes a Christmas party at the College. We being known as Juniors, entertained the Seniors with a weiner roast at Timber Lake. With trophies of the hunt and chase we moved on to the Senior Hunting Ground in 1939 with a tribe of sixty-three. Miss Gregory and Mr. Oppleman were chieftains this year. Our tribe again needed officers who were as follows: President. Bill Parry: Vice- President, Frank Tabor, Secretary-Treasurer, Elmer Foster: and Class Representative, Martha Wood. Soon in this year a student council was formed to better promote school spirit. At the beginning of the second semester those vicious animals known as examinations were eliminated, and we were graded on daily or unit work. , As the end of the year draws near we look forward to the Junior-Senior banquet, the Senior play, and the last days in which will be the Baccalaureate sermon, Class Night, and Commencement. Then shall we lay aside for a short time our tomahawks and other weapons to take them up again for bigger and better achievements.

Maybe you've had your ups and downs, Maybe the journey's been long: But cheer up, friends, the end is near, Keep a prayer on your lips, in your heart a song. Think of the good times you had When you were all together here When happy laughter filled the air And the gang was near. It's been great knowing you, Your friendships we will not regret: Among you we've found perfect friends Friends we won't forget. When our school days are over And different paths in life we wend, Our thoughts and prayers will be with you May God bless and keep you to the end. -Eleanor Nichols, '41 THE END OF SPRING We're very blue to see you go Our hearts so sad will miss you so The summer takes your place, you know, Dear Spring.

I studied every thing I thought would do me good, When the fire became low I threw on some wood. I tried to keep on studying as hard as I could go I Because there was so much to learn that I didn't know. Finally, I became restless--off I went to bed But all the time I kept on thinking of the notes I hadn't read. I got up early the next morning to study some more, But I'd studied so much my eyes were sore. So now exams are over, The end is drawing nigh, Someone must have wished me luck Thank heavens! I got by. --Roy Huntley, '4l AFTER HIGH SCHOOL When I have finished high school, I don't know what I'll do. I might go off to Europe And spend a year or two. Then, too, there are jobs awaiting In stores, offices, and shops: But I think I'll get married And cook my own pork chops.
