i Wx l l I V 6 al f at ' .yi SENIOR CLASS HISTGRY The book opens, and in the first chapter we see one hundred and forty-four very A'green boys and girls entering a beautiful new construction. The setting is in Newton High School. in the year 1936. At first, there is much chasing and changing from room to room and from locker to locker, but soon it comes as a matter of routine to them. When they finally settle down to hard work, they elect Jimmie Isenhower as their president. During this year. the football team wins the championship, and all in all it seems that the book is going to be very interesting. A smile comes over our faces as we approach the second chapter, where we see these little more civilized students getting ready to again elect a leader, their choice this time being Jack Yount. It seems to us that this chapter is a little more outstanding because for the Hrst time in the history of the school has the football team, together with the girls' and boys' basketball teams, won the championship. Then too, the National Honorary Beta Club is installed in the school. In the next chapter we see these boys and girls now Jolly Juniors, very proud because this year they will be able to give the annual. Junior-Senior Banquet. To do this successfully, they open a Junior Store, selling all necessary school supplies. This year, Mr. Curley succeeds Mr. Campbell as Superintendent, and Mr. Rhyne is made principal. In this chapter, the football team barely misses winning another championship, but the girls' basketball team again successfully comes out on top. Irma Cline is elected president of the class. The boys and girls make a very fine selection of their class rings as another one of their accomplishments. Then too, eleven Junior Marshals are selected. We grow sad as we see the book coming to an end. In this last, but most successful chapter, we see the class of '39 composed of 82 members again elect Jack Yount as president. During this year the class makes many accomplish- ments. The Hi-Life is published semi-monthly and the sixth edition of THE CARDINAL is also published. This is made possible by selling candy and giving a Senior Play, Crashing Society, under the direction of Miss Hall and Miss Shore. The football team again barely misses winning the championship. and the girls' basketball team comes out on top. We close the book, but with the hope that the boys and girls will continue to live up to their motto, Nothing Tried, Nothing Accomplished. DOT PURR, Histozicin. Page Eighteen Cozifazfiffwzf J39,

-no, B I s, In . M :Nmmd,aS . XS SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY As I gazed intently at my calendar, I was blinded by the bright sun coming through the window, and I began to feel dizzy. Many pages seemed to fall off the calendar until I saw 1949 written on it. Then I began to see all my former classmates and what they were doing. At his mansion in Washington, Senator Charles Zioncheck Brady was being interviewed by reporters. In the broadcasting station ICU, Newton, Joe Hilton, radio comedian, was talking to Lorraine Hickman, conductor of the children's hour, while the Lone Prairie Boys, Hurshell Cordell and Herbert Deal were on the air for XKL chocolate covered headache tablets. At New York, a number of former students were engaged in the largest beauty parlor in the world. They were Jerolyne Arndt, Mable Brady, Jeanette Hunsucker, Lucilla McRee. Charlotte Jones, Hazel Jones, and Pearlene Hun- sucker. I saw two girls, Evelyn Eckard and Naomi Horn, on a luxurious liner, bound for a trip around the world. As I looked, my eyes became fastened on a marvelous construction, the new Conover High School, where the following people were instructors: Elizabeth Morrison, was teaching Home Economics, Sudie Brady was teaching Civics, Frankie Hunsucker was teaching English, and Murel Hoyle was Librarian. I found a number of changes in the business section of Newton: There was a new five and ten-cent store owned by Josephine Hilton: Vivian Settlemyre was erecting a hotel next to Belk-Brumley Company, where Alma Wagoner and Dorothy Furr worked as models: Andrew Cochrane was the prosperous owner of the Park Club Bowling Alley , and Fred Wellborn was managing the Park Avenue Cafe. A few former students were contributing to the sports world. Joe Smith was a professional football player for the California Orange Devils: Richard Tucker was employed as an A.P. Sports Writer: at Notre Dame, J. D. Corriher held the position of head coach: Joe Schell had won the international tour? Luther Clark was playing baseball for the New York Cardinals: Harold Sigmon, the speed demon, had won fifty races, and Irma Cline was coaching basketball at Gyama. At Jack Yount's nightclub, The Silver Swing, located at Maiden, I saw Jesse Sigmon, orchestra leader, and his wife, the former Miss Margaret Cline. I located Dr. Jim Yount and the following nurses at the Catawba General Hospital: Merle Smith, head nurse, Marjorie Huitt, Edith Redfern, Mary Hewitt, and Hazel Smyre, assistants. I saw William Isbell, a successful Chicago business man, dictating to his secretary, Helen Herman. ' Out in Arkansas, Bobby Reinhardt, prominent farmer and hog raiser, was stroking his pet hog, Lily Belle. Page Nineteen I Ca11fr1'z'11rzl 339
