Page Tufflw RoANoKE Loo-1942 bH mhV Qta25+365 Class Poem Can it be we ever were just four short years ago, Such timid little freshmen With faces all aglow? As sophomores, though, we soon made up Our lack of confidence. We strutted and were so cocksure, To all we gave offense. But then we calmed considerably When juniors we became, For what with plays, banquets, and such, We built up quite a name. an ik 4 4: 4: :of vk Pk And now in this, our final year, . VVith dignity and grace, VVe've reached the goal, welve We've ended our first race. passed the mark, Although we see ahead of us In this historic year Tumult, confusion, war, and death Calamity and fear, VVe'1l not give up our hopes and dreams of what we know is right 1 To any bunch of dictators Without an awful fight.

ROANOKE Loo-1942 isalaaianlfataazalstil sasas Senior Prophecy Ladies, and gentlemen, this is your Movieton Newsreel Cameraman, John Edwin Rea, reporting to you from the modest little city of Plymouth, North Carolina. We are bringing you a hawk-eye description of the great moment everyone has long been waiting for-the premiere of M.G.M.'s new production, starring Frances Jones, the new Hollywood sensation. The town is turning out in droves for this occasion, to witness another case of, small town girl makes good. Let us look around among the crowd and spot the celebrities pouring into the theatre. Here comes that ALL-American Football Player, Elmo Mayo accompanied by one of his old gridiron teammates, Warren Robbins. Who is that over there? Why, yes! It's Glenna Ange, the renowned writer with Margaret Bowen, her private secretary. l sec Sergeant Roy Manning with his wife, Gertrude Woolard. They are talking with Ben Robertson, thc Cadet Army Flyer. - Now entering the lobby, is Katherine Bratten with Felton Magee who is her latest llame since she divorced her third husband, Douglas Collins. Here come Clifford Frymier, and Gerard Spruill, two big Pulp Mill officials. With them is Wilbur Davenport, thc town's most prosperous merchant. Over there is Alice Marriner, smothered in a mink coat. We don't know who she hooked, but evidently she is doing all right. I see a group of school teachers. There are lnez Weede, Gladys Bowen and Anna Bowen, who teach French, History, and Math at P. H. S. Now approaching is Ailine Nestor, the year's number one debutante, and Genevieve Holbrook, another glamour gal. Here come Mrs. Britt, nee Mary Lillian Campbell, and Mrs. Margaret Bateman Waters with their husbands. They seem quite happy. , Here come three girls looking very smart in their civilian defense uniforms. They are Claudia Bratten, Velma Hopkins, and Grace Nobles. Uniforms seem quite plentiful tonight. Over here we see some old regulars of the army, Joe Weede, Curtis Ayers, Freeman Allen, and Craig Browning. Who is that over there scribbling in shorthand? Why, it's Lulladean Jordan, getting the story for the Roanoke Beacon, while Carl Bailey gets a close up of the star as she steps from her car attended by Asa Rogers, her publicity agent. Finally, the crowd is moving into the theatre, and the usherettes, Elva Allen and Onalee Dotson, are having a hard time finding them all sets. Now the show has begun, and silence falls as Zeb Norman and his famous band open the show. The people are startled as Leon Dunbar gets up to take a trombone ride. The high light of the show is John Brown's jitterbug specialty, as he goes into his dance with his dancing partner, some fast-stepping blond. QYou know she would have to be.j 1 Twice during the show, Martha McGowan and Carolyn Byrd get to talking so loud, that Pete Browning, the bouncer, nearly has to throw them out.
