Since he has left us a shadow hovers over our class that we cannot move, for he lives yet in our memory as one we learned to love. Let us remember his character. a shining light, worthy to influence us onward through life. His always pleasant face and calm, gentle disposition had won its way into the hearts of all who knew him. If God in his wisdom had not recalled that which his love had given. Hiram would prolwbly he graduating with us. But we must not call him hack, f.-� r beyond this vale of tears the sun is still shining. The golden gates were opened wide. A gentle voice said Come” And angels from the other side W elcomed Hiram, our loved one home. Rachel Pace. I) E n C' A T I o A In Honor of lr. J. IP'.

The gold is lingering with the purple still The world prepares for the coming night. While age retires to its favorite nooks And dreams of things gone by. Youth goes «� n without a backward look. And thinks of the things that before them lie. May youth strive to keep the book unstained As the tender years depart from life, May the highest aims he obtained. With more of love and less of strife. When life’s sun is sinking low And the gold has turned to gray. When the years have lost their golden glow Then age has won the day. Willie Mae Taught Eighteen THE YELLOW JACKET President’s Address Parents. Faculty. Fellow Classmates and Friends: It affords me a peculiar pleasure to welcome you to this, the greatest occasion of our lives. It is the day towards which we have eagerly looked forward., and for which we have labored faithfully and earnestly in our efforts during our stay at this institution. We. the class of 24 are very glad to express our appreciation to our parents and many friends who have made it possible few us to reach this point in our educational career. To you we extend a most cordial and hearty welcome to share with us the joys of this occasion, which shall ever Ik- the happiest among our most cherished memories. As we come to the day of graduation and commencement, a spirit of just pride and a feeling of success comes over each and every one of us. for we have labored faithfully and have come at last to receive the crown of victory over all the trials and tribulations of a high school career. Fellow Classmates, as we pass from the walls of this institution, far more important to us than the mere knowledge we have gained from lxw ks. is the broadening of our narrow mental horizon, so that our visions may begin to increase and expand till we can get a broader and clearer vision of life and of service to mankind. It matters not what walks of life we may pursue, our success in the future depends entirely on our faithfulness to duty, and may our efforts ever be worthy and to the extent of the powers God has given us. Whatever we undertake, let us endeavor to do it with the spirit that nothnig worth while is accomplished without lalior. In the future let us work with but one great purpose in view. Make the whole world brighter, happier and better by our having lived in it. To the success we have attained in school, we owe a three-fold debt of gratitude to our parents our faculty, and our friends. First of all. we are indebted to our parents who have lal� orcd hard at home, providing for us the necessities of life, who have made many sacrifices in our behalf, and by their untiring efforts and encouragement, have made it possible for us to be here on the platform today. Also, we owe a debt of gratitude to our faculty and our dear old McAdory High School. f« r we deem it an honor to graduate from this, one of the very best and most highly recognized high school of Jefferson County. Finally, we are indebted to our many friends and school officials, who have ever been ready to lend their support and encouragement. Now to you fellow classmates, I must express my sincerest appreciation and deepest gratitude for the great honor you have so kindly bestowed upon me by voting me your president. Your kindness and most hearty cooperation have always been greatly appreciated, and in serving such a loyal class to the best of my ability. I have always felt a keen pleasure and a distinct honor. Now as we leave this institution and enter the various walks of life, may the passjx rt «� f our journey 1h “ The service that we render each day as we go. Hu on Hickman. Kintteen TIIE YELLOW JACKET Oration POLITICAL CORRUPTION Weighing upon the American people of today and tomorrow is the one great subject that has demanded more attention than any other. It is the subject of “Political Corruption ’ It claims America’s business consideration and undivided attention. Living under a government today in which the organized finance is the chief | o ver. we will learn more atout this thick-skinned moral and physical animal, whom it is our business to eliminate. Public ownership should be defended on every side, to keep it out of the hands of the ungodly political grafters, the management of America’s future business. The |x� litical grafter is the most determined fighting l� east in our democracy. For instance, in the great Tea-Pot Dome Oil Scandal, he is the central figure, trying to gain control of the oil system, to rule in such a way that it is akin to despotism. Hut we will, by the last drop of American blood that runs through our veins, crush out of existence this scandalous system of authority and give to the public it’s dues of a well-spent life. The way to kill this dreaded creature is to over-whelm the power of numbers through the ballot, by the voters, whose work it; is to help hamstring this political corruption in the African fashion, by dropping him over Life’s Cliff, to seek an untimely death among the leaders of Hades. The Christian Religion does not constitute the life of selfish, incompetent, unworthy, leaders whose sole joy is robbing the American people of the many millions, daily that are needed for its’ support. In a land where colleges are endowed by financial corruptionists and where trustees discharge professors to please plutocrats, the suggestion of a fashionable boycott is pathetic. The strength of the trust owner and the political corruptionists lies in the control of natural monojKilies and national necessities. Public streets, electric lighting and endless other monopolies are sold by political bosses tu the highest bidder. These bids are disguised bribes, which are a curse to « ur nation and by future American citizens will Ik- stamped out forever. An ( i! Dome Scandal, is only a bigger, more vicious bribe that few can luckily bid for. If every good and worthy citizen of the United States will devote bis energy to developing ideas of public (state, city and national) ownership, it will within a very few years become a dominant idea. With universal cooperation we can, and VK WILL bind and skin this big financial rhinoccrous. called political corruption before he really knows what has happened. The thing for you to do is to spread your convictions among your fellownien. Don’t 1 c contented with the fact that you know the truth. Don't be satisfied with exjxmnding your doctrines in your family circle, but Ik- as energetic in the defense of public ownership as the financial bandit and corrupt politicians are energetic in furthering their interests. Public ownership would practically do away with corruption in jxditics because it lowers taxes, benefits business men and for us all it increases the Twenty THE YELLOW JACKET prosperity of even tin lowest form of humanity. But as it stands at present, our political system is rotten, and every body knows it. N'o wonder, look at the public servants who are able to sell for bribes, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of public property. We can drive from our continent this poltical corruption, that comes like a thief in the night, bv honest efforts to save the nation from sorrow, sin and degradation, by the help of your brave, ambitious manhood and womanhood. Mother America needs you today as never l efore. for the world is running mad. running t � God knows where, with the undemocratic political leaders as the guiding wheel of life, that steers you under its corruptive banner and then it’s too late. You cannot turn back you’re going fifty-five miles to the hour and just bcyoncl, only a hundred1 feet from you is the precipice that ends that which you thought worked so well. What the force of wind and rudder is to the ship, our varying emotions, ambitions, aspirations, and passions are to us. These are the tilings that constitute tin- power of human force, which can influence all types of humanity better than a teacher can influence her pupil. Ibis power differs in different individuals, as the winds on the ocean differ to the ship, hut by the power of human will we can steer our little boat of Politics safely to the Island of Reform situated in the middle of the Political Ocean. One of the most desired human passions is ambition. Phis human force of ambition with a Lincoln’s conscience to guide it. saved a republic, but with the same force guided by Benedict Arnold, it sought to Ik tray the nation. f.et tts consider ourselves launched on the sea of life, we may go slowly at first, hut gradually we grow stronger, we quickly gain control, feeling that we’re at last going in the right direction. The wind may blow a gale, and we feel, as many do. that we cannot control our emotions. But if that comes, let us have courage to take in sail, to fight the storm and instead of going willingly to destruction brace up and try again, and this time strangle to death America’s horrible, most dreaded and determine beast. Political Corruption. We. the Class of ’24. standing eventually on life's threshold, ready to plunge into life's work a mighty ambitfon; we as future men and women of America will probably never enter this grand old institution again, because life is beckoning to us t � become famous, t«� capture old political corruption and wipe out his memory and we will, for we have that determination that knows no defeat. Then you can write on our epitaph this our motto: “We worked to shun the word Evil and to win the name Paine!’’ And with this our guide: I f you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too; Twenty One THE YELLOW JACKET If von can wait and not he tired by waiting, ( r being lied about don't deal in lies. Or being hated, don’t give away to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor too wise; I f you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools. Or watch the things you gave your life to. broken: And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools; If you can walk with crowds and keep your virtue. Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run. Yours, is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—what is more, you’ll l e a man. And—what is more, you’ll be a man. my son! Raciiei. Pace. Twenty Two THE YELLOW JACKET Prophecy 'Hie Min had cast its final beams over the earth, and a deep silent hush stole over all. as darkness began to envelope every living creature. It was just a few minutes, until the crisis in my life was to occur. The next few hours, meant everything in the world to me. success and honor or the alternative, failure and disgrace. I was staging my latest production. “Madam Butterfly, as I was now a star in the theatrical world. Only ten brief minutes and I was to meet triumph or disaster, when my maid thrust into my hands a letter hearing a foreign postmark. Eager to know the contents. I hastily opened it, and lo. to my great surprise and unutterable joy, who should tt ! e from, but my dear friend and former teacher. Mr. Taylor. He congratulated me upon winning a place in the theaterical world and sincerely hoped that my every effort would be a brilliant success. He regretted very much that he could not be present, but promised to call on me within a short time. In this letter, (which was very lengthy.) was news of my classmates, the dear old class of '24. First, was news of one of my old pals, Rachel Pace, she now occupied the pinnacle of fame in the musical world, having made her dehut at the Metropolitan Opera House. She had sung before some of the mo t notable personages of the world, among which were, the King and Queen of England, and the President of the U. S. There next came news of one of my college friends, one of the dearest in the Class of 24. Marguerite Tvsinger. She was now occupying the Chair of Mathematics at Maryville College. Since her entrance into that noble institution, much good and splendid influence had been felt. But the most thrilling incident was that of another of the Class of 24. was also occupying an honorable position as Dean of the College. It was none other than Eugene Reeder. I read the fact that he. (Mr. Taylor) wouldn’t he surprised to hear at any time soon, of a prominent marriage. Here Imping them all the happiness in the world I learned that one of the sweetest in our Class. Margaret Weed, was now the happy and contented wife of one of the State’s most prominent bankers, Elbert McClinton, who is making a wonderful success in the business world, and who is now living in as luxurious home as could be desired. I always knew that Margaret would make a splendid wife for Elbert, for they were quiet and demure. 1 read on, and discovered that Hugh Hickman was one of Alabama’s most prominent lawyers. He was deeply interested in the latest divorce case. The divorce case was that of another of the Class of ’24, Utla Higginbotham. She had had two husbands and desired a new one. She could not he satisfied keeping house and so had secured a position in Selma’s leading hank, and that was the reason her name was in the Courts. Then came news of one of the quietest of our class, Sallic Smith. She too was a teacher, the English Instructor in the Jefferson County High School. She was much beloved by her pupils and others, for her kind, loving disposition. Turnty Threc TIJE YELLOW JACKET Nell f.etson. the quiet, sweet, lovable girl of the Class of ’24. was now back at old M. II. S.. as the Music teacher. She had just returned from the Xew York Conservatory of Music, where she had taken quite an extensive course in music. I learned that Pauline Riley was in dear old Xew York, without my knowledge. I decided that I would go and visit her in the near future. She was a society favorite and preparations were going on for a ball to be given in her honor. Henry Green was one of Xmerica’s foremost statesmen. He was before the Senate, trying to pass a bill, forcing men to wear lace or ruffles on their trousers, and it looked as if he would l� e successful, for he was very eloquent and forceful. Willie Mae Vaught was the chief executive of a large Western firm. I was not greatly surprised, for I knew that site could easily command others. Annie Abernathy and Tressie Mahan were such good chums all through high school days, that I was not greatly surprised to learn that they were still working together, and had made themselves famous along the millinery line. They were now the proprietors of a large millinery shop in Paris. Mr. Taylor said that he had been asked just a short time ago. to act as a judge in a beauty contest at Atlantic City, but he had been forced to decline, because his business then demanded his strict attention. The most beautiful girl was to be crowned “Misf America and who should have been the successful contestant among fifty others, out of our dear classmates, but Lillie Roy! Jessie Roy was now a famous movie actress. Her name was always blazened from the silver screen and large crowds docked to see her act. Lillian Smith was soon to he a prominent society matron. Her romance was the culmination of a brief career as a teacher. She was soon to be a member of one of the South's most prominent families. W hen we used to tease Thelma Orr and say that she was preparing to marry, she only laughed at us. Xow I know tint she was not joking, for she is indeed an old maid. She has charge of a Business Girls Home in Atlanta, where no married women are allowed. Aaron was always good in school, but we thought that he would probably be a bootlegger. In the letter. I discovered he was now a noted preacher. He was making a tour of the country, by conducting revivals, multitudes were thronging t bear him. Ethel had long since finished her college education and now was a Home Economics teacher in McAdory College. I ast. but not least, there were tidings of our friend and classmate. Mvles Hassell. He was now the football coach at Auburn. L’nder his expert training, his team had won every game they had played and were Champions of the South. I had to rapidly finish reading the letter, as it was a matter of a few minutes until 1 should make my appearance. When the summons came. I was ready and with the reminder of the success which my classmates had met with. I went forth ujMm the stage and performed to the l est of my ability. The applause was deatening, so I knew that fame at last was mine. I shall ever feel indebted to Mr. I aylor for his letter, for it was the inspiration whereby I met with success. Bertha Goodwin. Twenty Tour THE YELLOW JACKET Salutatory At last the much longed for time lias arrived and we stand on Life’s threshold. W ith many regrets we recall the happy past and with much uncertainty we approach the unknown future. Little did we realize how soon we were to take up Life’s burden, when we entered here four brief years ago! Tonight, as a class we reflect over the past. Not all of the way has been smooth, but we have had to travel over many rough places to gain the desired goal. For four years we traveled together, hand in hand, plucking blossoms of knowledge. To the world we owe our best. Upon us depends the future destiny of this, our great Republic. Unless we stand forth as true men and women, we shall not prove of much benefit to our country. So let us apply ourselves to the best of our ability to our tasks, so that America shall have been benefitted by our having existed. Let us always remember the many lessons of truth that we have learned in the past, and be guided by them. For the pleasures of the senses pass quickly, those of the heart liecome sorrows, but those of the mind are ever with us. even to the end of the journey. This institution has always stood for certain ideals and principles and our teachers have been as spinners, weaving them into the inner-most part of our I icings. Never shall we forget the teachings of our ever faithful teachers, but shall ever remember with gratitude in our hearts. Who tried very hard to do their part Teachers o’ ours! 'fo make us grow good and smart. Teachers o’ ours. And yet ’tis true we surely know. That too oft we were stupid and slow. Making your days be long and dreary. Your mind and body so weary. Teachers o’ ours! The reward will come when the years have flown. Teachers o’ ours! And your pupils from youth have grown. Teachers o’ ours! When the noisiest lx� y of all your band Will be a leader of our great land. And the idle girl you did often scold. Will Ik-, a woman as pure as gold. Teachers o’ ours! Dear classmates, in bidding you adieu. 1 would ask that you ever carry with you the spirit of your Alma Mater. McAdory High School. 1 would say in parting Do not look for worng and evil. You will find them if you do: As you measure for your neighbor He will measure back to you. Look for goodness, look for gladness. You will meet them all the while; If you bring a smiling visage To the glass, you meet a smile. Twenty hit's Aaron Kendrick. THE YELLOW JACKET Valedidory The time has arrived when we must bid each other a sorrowful farewell. We are proud to occupy our places here tonight, yet blended with our joy is a bit of sorrow, for we sadly realize that never more shall our footsteps echo and re-echo within these walls’ W e are here before you tonight with many smiles, yet underneath our smiles are heavy hearts. The thought of parting has weighted our hearts with sorrow. ()thers are ready to occupy our places and wc must go forth as warriors to take our place in the world. Each of us is destined to occupy a niche in this world and our niche is waiting to he filled . No one but us. ourselves can occupy the place for which the Almighty intended us. Wc have run our race and the victory is won. The guerdon is gained, the reward of it all. W c were ever fighters and we must now begin to battle with Life as we have never Ik fore. Though all of us have not been privileged to he together the past four years, wc are bound together with a brother!) and sisterly affection. We realize, as never before, that we shall never be together as we now are. a united body. As time goes on. new conditions shall arise that shall demand our best attention else-wherc. Time shall break the last remaining link of our friendship in his swift passage. Ever shall we treasure our associations, whose memory shall ever grow dearer, as students at old M H. S. To our ever faithful teachers and counsellors, we must bid farewell. I hev have aided and encouraged us in every worth while undertaking. Their cooperation was not from a selfish viewpoint, but to prepare us for life by giving us their best. When the years have flown and our memory shall drift back to golden school days, no picture recalled to mind shall be more precious than that of our teachers. Perhaps we cannot now see the breadth and depth of the influence our teachers have had upon our lives, but as we gain the wisdom of the passing years, we shall be able to more fully realize it. Wc have met with many obstacles and temptations during our High School career, but they have now faded into the past. We have always tried to show an interest in our work and to accomplish the necessary tasks to the best of our ability. We have always been honest and truthful in our every undertaking. We have begun to realize that the unpleasant things of life have to be met with, as well as the pleasant. We have realized that there is more to Ik dealt with in life than frivolity. We have put away our l ooks with many regrets and sighs for we realize that one chapter in our Life’s book is forever concluded. In our text-books arc to be found words that serve as mementoes to bring back to us memories of past events. Ever shall wc treasure the memories of the last lesson that were recited in '24. We are beginning another Chapter in Life. We did not. four brief years ago. realize how speedily time was passing. It has flown so rapidly, until wc can hardly realize that we are now ready to take up Life's burden. Now we must push onward and upward until we have gained the coveted goals: Success and Honor. So let u; remember that: Not what we have, but what we use Not what we see. but what we choose. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.” Maroueritf.

But we will always be merry, happy and gay As we journey onward day by day. For this is our motto. “Smile. Smile, Smile. For worring is too trifling to be worth while. Lillian Smith “24 Twenty Eight THE YELLOW JACKET Class History W hen Seventh Grade Days, were drawing to a close, our hearts were filled with great expectations tor we knew that McAdory High School was rapidly being constructed- This building was to Ik our new home for the following four years. There were many in our Seventh Grade, of this number, twenty entered old M. H. S. in September, 1920 as Freshmen. We were not treated as freshmen usually are, it licing the first year in the new building. W e too acted as if we were dignified Seniors: we struggled along ns l est we knew with our studies, and mastered them, one and all. The next year we began to realize we were not dignified Seniors but were only Sophomores, and we got down to real work, from which we all were successful itt being promoted The following year we began to realize that Senior days were drawing near, as we had gotten as far along as Juniors. Imagine our joy when we received the thrilling news that Morgan and KimbrclI. pupils were to be added to our school. Of the pupils, twelve were added to our original number which increased the twenty to thirty-two. We also learned that the farther we progressed in High School the harder the work grew, because we had Physics and Geometry added to our course of study. Just before mid-term one member of our class decided that school work was too difficult for her. so she took upon herself the responsibility of Housekeeping. Others decided that they could ! • more useful elsewhere than in the Junior Class so our numlier decreased considerably. The remainder were successful in passing, as all disinterested ones had left us by that time. We entered our fourth year with the greatest enthusiasum, it being our Senior and last year in High School among pleasant associations. By this time our number had decreased to twenty-two, the others had resumed other responsibilities in life, which demanded more attention than does school work. W e were filled with “joivc de vivre (joy of living) after returning from Christmas holidays and finding we had a new class mate. This made our number increase to twenty-three. ( ur joy was mingled with sorrow in fear of sonic failure on mid-term examination, hut as faithful workers we were all successful in passing. Days rolled on. Commencement days drew nearer, until we are before you tonight as graduates. W'e are very glad to occupy our places, as we realize that every one has his own niche to fill in the world, yet all are full of sorrow when we think that we shall leave old M. II. S. never to return again as pupils. Last, hut not least, we wish to thank our kind parents, teachers and friends for the many kindnesses they have shown us during our High School career, which has made possible our graduation.

The class of '24 stands firmly on a foundation of knowledge that requires a 17.5.3 shoe number to fit the well experienced, lucky Senior foot. As this is the largest and considered the most brilliant class ever graduated from McAdorv Hi. the Statistics ltave somewhat increased, showing according to the latest styles, (which we strive to keep up with) our waist measure to be 56.2 feet, with a somewhat balanced and business head measuring 45.8 feet, around which the hand of truth is placed to hold together the Literary and Scientific knowledge we have learned in four years. We find it daily expanding. Do you know with our brilliant intellect, well proportioned body and firm foundation, we naturally have large skillful hands that we protect with a number 161 glove. In these four years we have gone thru’ many trying experiences ami wakeful hours in order to solve the difficult problems of Mathematics and Chemistry, but our Ambition rallied fairly well under the strain and had it not l een for our healthy l odics. which has the authenic weight of 3.128 pounds. avoirdu| ois. and our imposing height of 124.6 feet or exactly speaking 1.496 inches, we would not lie presently situated, as we are. You may think this class with its wonderful physique is young in years, but since we have added four real years to our life here in this grand old institution we announce our age as 374 years. We sincerely hope that you will not be astonished and down-heartened, but will brace up and smile, while the Senior (. lass of '24 smile with you. Mvles Hassell.

Forty Sote THE YELLOW JACKET Junior 3 Prophecy I .atd one dreary evening, 1 was alone in my room, reading, when all at once a strange vision appeared before me. The pages of my newspaper began to open before me. they suddenly stopped at the comic section—and reading on down through this I found the. name of Xello Rolen, after inquiring 1 found that he had made a big contract for his cartoon “The- Shiek of Yesterday.” Afer learning of his success. I decided to hunt him tip. thinking that he could probably tell me some more interesting news of the class. I immediately called him up, and he invited me to dinner at his home: and on entering the house, was very much surprised to have Julia invite me in. 1 learned that she and Xello had been married for some time. 'Phis prepared me for the other great surprises, they had in store for me. I learned that Annie Laura and Murry had decided that two were better than one. and had gotten married immediately after school was out. Their married life had proved to he similar to their High School days and they soon found that true love never runs smooth. It kept Louise 1 ’ace. who was a very prominent lawyer, busy trying to keep their domestic life smooth. After learning that Louise Pace was in town. I decided to go over to see her. and she told me of Mr. Keith’s success in politics and that he had been elected Senator from Alabama, that Louise Carlisle was his private secretary. Mona was his washwoman. Ixniise Hell and Susie were his office girls. After learning all these interesting facts al mu my class. I decided to visit old M. II. S. This 1 did at once, and on approaching the campus. I saw Jack Bond coaching a football team. He offered to show me around the building, and the thing of most interest to me was that Evelyn Bryant was there teaching Math, with Josephine, Daisy, Lura Mae. Paul, Esther and James were in her class, still trying to learn Factoring, I here was some beautiful music in the building, so I went at once to see who was playing the piano. It was one of Rose Clayton's music pupils. Then I decided to visit the Home Economics room and there I found Jessie Brackner with her class cooking corn bread, I noticed Hugh Abernathy mixing bread too. ! asked him why he was in this class of girls, he said he had married Maude Shipp and she could not cook, so he had to learn to cook, because his children were starving and he thought he might lx able to raise them on corn bread. After that I learned that other members of the class had acted worse than Annie Laura and Murry, while some had achieved great things and they could he found in all professions of life. About that time some one called me and told me it was time for supper, then I realized that I had only been dreaming, and 1 was very much disappointed.

Fifty Three TIIE YELLOW JACKET Junior 2 Class History We entered M. M. S. September 15. 1923. with 51 block heads. But sonic not realizing just what a time we were going to have, dropped out. When they dropped out we had hopes of entering our Junior 2 Class with unprepared lessons, and also having the slightest excuses for being absent and tardy. When the teacher liegan to scold us. we were a bunch of frightened children. In a few weeks we found out who our best friend was. which was our Junior 2 teacher, Mrs. Ambrose. When we heard the gentle, sweet voice of Mrs. Ambrose (our beloved seventh grade teacher), we could not help getting our lessons prepared and obeying her rules, which she told us. Now she’s always happy, and every time you see her. she is smiling, and I think anyone would. During the first few weeks after we entered M. II. S. it didn’t seem like we would ever get accustomed to the bell ringing. They rang every fort) minutes. Each time we would all jump up and start out. Mrs. Ambrose had the worst time getting us seated and quiet. One day she asked Mr. King, if he thought slur would ever teach us what the hell rang for. and he said, “I suppose von will after so long a time.” When lunch came oh my, we were s«� used to hot lunch, and as wc heard that they had cooks at M. 11. S.. we tlumght they were running, a hotel, and “Bless Pat” come to find out they just sold sandwiches and hot chocolate about every month, and when we did get a cup of cocoa and a sandwich, we didn’t know how to drink the cocoa nor how to eat the sandwich, because it had been so long between hot lunches. When we ate cold lunch we couldn’t work much, and sometimes Mrs. Ambrose would get provoked and say. ‘‘I wish that hotel (what you all used to think it was) would serve hot lunch all the time. Because when you eat warm lunch you can do good work and pass the afternoon off fine, but when you eat cold lunch, your minds refuse to work as they should.” We arc all proud of our Junior 2 Grade and are pulling together to make a success by striving to enter our hirst Year High School next term. Of course, we are sorry to leave our dear teacher. Mrs. Ambrose, hut you know how ’tis so hoping in a few years to get our diplomas from M. II. S.. we are willing to continue the struggle and to enter M. H. S. again next year, hut you cannot realize how glad we are that the first year is over and we are not as green as when we entered here. Xu longer arc wc called “rats” Neither “blockhead brats.” For now we enter Junior 3. And a happy crowd are we. Next year, we return with more determination And our History” will not need so much explanation For, oh so wise we shall be. then ( ur Wisdom” to others we can lend. Eloise Parker. Fifty Four THE YELLOW JACKET Junior 2 Prophecy It has I wen fifteen years since we were in Junior 2 of McAdory High. After a very heated campaign to mv great delight. Percy Crowe, one of my classmates, was elected President of the’U. S. After the first few weeks of his administration. I decided to take a trip to see him. 1 walked up to the ticket office to purchase my ticket and on asking for it I heard a familiar voice, and looking closer. I recognized J. B. Mahan. I Ixmrdcd the train and seated myself in the comfortable Pullman. After looking at the scenery a while. I was disturbed by the conductor’s appearance and who should this conductor lie, but James Russell! W hen I arrived at Washington. I noticed that all the streets were very clean and looking around. 1 saw the reason for this, for there was W'ilford Parsons, dressed in a street sweeper’s suit, pushing a small cart in front of him. After my long journey. I was ver tired, so I decided to seek a suitable hotel. A very bright sign caught my eve and on it was painted. The Blue Bird. I walked in to the office to get a room and I found Preston W oods was manager. I was very glad to see another of my classmates. After I had been refreshed. I went for a walk. After going a little way. I looked down at my shoes and seeing they were dirty. 1 went to a boot black and had the honor of having my shoes shined by George Riley. Then 1 went on down the street, saw a crowd and. I. also curious went over to where the crowd was and there, by a little table piled up with medicine that was supposed to cure headache, toothache and also heartache, was standing George Higginlxitham and for old times sake. 1 purchased a lx ttle. 1 went back to the hotel and very early next morning 1 called on the President. He said that he had a surprise for me and taking me to his private secretary’s office, 1 saw Evelyn Moore. The next day. I went to a theatre. There 1 saw 1 larry Tysinger as manager. Eloise Parker as’the leading lady. Robert Jolly as the leading man. Ralph Abernathy as Eloisc’s rich uncle Gladys Higginbotham as her elder sister. Hobson Parsons as her younger brother. Jennie B. Morris as the cook. and Ethel Russell as the maid. 1 determined to find the rest of my school mates, so 1 got on the ship to sail for Euroj e and to my great surprise. Hubert Higginbotham was captain and Nolen Carroll was cabin boy. The day after I got on the ship. 1 saw Bertha Lena Russell, who wa• also going to Eurojxt. W e liegan talking and I found that she had become a great speaker. Later on. Iiefore we reached Europe 1 met Inez Porter. Jennie Ray and Ethel Carroll, who were going to finish a course in music. When I reached Europe. I saw I). L. Griffin and Isaac loading goods on a steam ship. I went to a hotel and there to my great surprise. 1 saw Myrtle Clevenger as the clerk. The next day I saw a sign, as I went about town, “Miss Abernathy's Beaut Parlor.” 1 recognized Bertha who still had her golden curls. We talked a long time and she told me that Lottie and Anna l u Sims were working with her She said that James Thomason was the manager of a hank and Rubye Harmon was his secretary. 1 said Goodbye” to her and went on my way again. Fifty Fhv THE YELLOW JACKE'I 1 walked down the street and there I saw the sign, “Millican and Russell. “Ready to Wear Store.' I recognized Earl Millican and Moody Russell, two oi my school mates. 1 went in and there I found Helen Johnson and Frances esson as clerks. I went further down the street and saw a candy shop. I wanted something sweet, so I went in to get some candy,' and thefy found Horace Russell and Monroe Smith were the owners. I walked through the streets for a longer time and came across a bookstore which lK longed to. as I found later. Isaac loveless. I found that the latest hooks published, were written by Nellie Carroll and Jewel Countryman. After having had one of the greatest pleasures that could be granted a class member. I made preparation to return home, and such pleasant memories as I journeyed atone! Evblyk Dunham. Fifty Six 50C1ETY TIIE YELLOW JACKE1 Bullard Literary Society SOCIETY OFFICERS' President ........
