Seniors of the Class of 1936, I do not say that you are the best class of Reidsville High School, neither do I say you are the largest and best looking, but I do say that you are one of the most well-rounded classes that Reidsville High School has ever produced. During the year 1918-1919, the proverbial stork had many a troublesome load, and in spite of protest from the gods of fate, you were born into a world just recuperating from the World War. Time flew on: Your formal search for the Light of Education began in the fall of 1925, when with your mothers and fathers you entered grammar school quite bewildered. Those first days were lovely, but soon you learned that there was more to do than play. Reading, Riting and Rithmeticn were taught to the tune of switches and paddles. Miss Lizzie Showalter was your teacher in the first grade. She made three little girls stay in one afternoon for turning over in their chairs. The next day she fell over in hers while the class was having their reading lesson. Louise Moore, a member of the class, moved to Madison. Miss Margaret Womack was your teacher in the second grade. She taught you to divide four into forty-eight. In the third grade you lived for the fifteen minutes when Miss Ethyl Glidewell would read to you from 'KMiss Minerva and William Green Hill. Bill Lane, a class chum, moved away. Perhaps you can remember when he put a tack in Pam Oliver's chair. Miss Knot, the fourth grade teacher, moved you continually to keep you from talking, however, she never succeeded. In the sixth grade none other than Mr. Jerome Douglass was your teacher. He was loved and admired by all his pupils except Ed. Meeks, the class villain. The outstanding event of the year was the forming of the Better English Club. Elton Lively used as many aints and gits as the class put together. Marjorie Sprinkle, a favorite pupil, stopped school. Due to sickness Pam Oliver's name was taken from the roll book. You went to the seventh grade with a grammar school certificate firmly held in your hand. Miss Hollowell gave the lowdown on the World War. At last!!! What you had worked, dreamed and hoped for! A Freshllmli in Reidsville High School!! You entered with the usual hopes and aspirations peculiar to freshmen. But the Light was too bright to last. Suddenly, big black clouds, which seemed to completely obscure all the Lighf that you had won, gathered above your heads. 'You went scurrying hither and yon, trying to recapture your priceless possession-each of you with a particular task to perform. Slowly but surely, with each daily quiz and monthly test, the clouds broke, and with their breaking, you received the first true rays of Light, the first true seeds of Knowledge. A red-headed belle from Burlington entered your class that year. You have already guessed-yes, Nancy Price. You enjoyed your freshman year, but it was destined that you enjoy your next year more. While Sophomores, stumbling blocks were shoved under your feet by well-meaning teachers. The Latin course was the pitfall for many of you, yet a large number of you persisted and finally passed. It is needless to say that you were unusually green.,' But you have long since learned that since a thing is green it is growing. Yes, of course, you were growing! And learlzifzgf You were gradually grasping bit by bit, piece by piece, Klzozulcdgr, and storing it for future use--thus, you began to grow in Wisdom. You learned many thnigs that year, and when it came to a close, you were Juniors, wise and courageous enough to have your say. -..sig 16 al Q-'fi'-' Xix 1-K-A L H- R E N O C A H I len-- After three months of leisure and play, you journeyed back to Reidsvillc High School to renew friendships and to continue your search for the Light of Education in spare moments. Some were discouraged and did not return. You went through a year of study, interrupted and frilled by rollicking good times at the Junior-Senior and Athletic Banquets. There were several additions to the school, in the faculty and student body such as, Miss Cooper, Mr. Howell, Mr. Leggette, and jack Neese. Under Mr. Leggette's direction you helped organize a dramatic club, which produced several good plays. As your third year of high school life drew rapidly to a close, you found your- selves looking to the future a bit more sophisticated and serious than you had been before. The class of ,36 is outstanding in many ways. You have everything in your ranks, including golddiggers, poets, actors, musicians, artists, lecturers, and preachers. Indeed, what you do not know has seemed to you scarcely worth the learning. In athletics practically the entire football and basketball teams were composed of Seniors, who won honors for their school. The chemistry students got', the atomic theory. The dramatic club joined the Carolina Dramatic Association and entered a play, The Fourth Generation, in the state contest. The members of the cast, Anne Russell Gwyn, jack Berry, Bob Balsley and Charles Phipps, did exceptionally good work, but were defeated by Curry High School in the district contest. The debating team was more successful than last year. The members of the team were Rosemary McLean, Roger Rice, Virginia Sluder and Jack Berry. Both the affirmative and negative teams won in the triangle, and were eligible to enter the finals at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. There, your negative team made a splendid record in the preliminary, but was defeated in the semi-finals. Much of the success of the team went to the coaches, Mr. Leggette and Miss Bane. Hence, these years have not been wasted. They have been spent in training your minds and developing your characters. And so, you see, your search for knowledge, the Light of Education, has not been in vain. Although you are now at the evening of your high school career, you are at the same time at the dawning of life. For the first time you are now able to view yourselves in the morning light. Look about you! Find yourselves! To you the future looks as beautiful as the rose buds that sparkle in the morning dew around you. However, do not be deceived, for if you intend to be truly great, to do something really worthwhile, your search for Education has just begun. Now that it is dawn, the pathway may seem more difficult, for you will be able to find more and greater obstacles to overcome, but if you persistently continue your journey, you will find that the afternoon of life will be as rosy, as beautiful as the Daumilzg.

JOYCE CHAMBLISS, Magi Qgs.- Class Poet R E N O C A H I lite'- CLASS PRGPHECY -As foretold by Aurora, Goddess of ffoe Dawn. As the rose opens its petals into the full bloom in the morning sun as it travels its path across the sky, so your lives bloom in the Light of Education. In this crystal dewdrop, I behold your lives in the full bloom of the afternoon. I shall project them for you in the heart of your class flower, the rose. Behold! I see two lovers walking. They are Elizabeth Ward and Bennie Rudd, who are discussing plans for their wedding which is to take place in The Little Church Around the Cornerf, Reverend Roger Rice will officiate and Virginia Sluder will sing the wedding hymn, Oh Promise Me. The scene changes. We are in Hollywood where the preview of Russ Gwyn's feature picture, directed by Lubin Leggette, is being shown. I notice in the audience some familiar faces. Ferrell Burch and Ethyl Ann Hutcherson seem to be more interested in each other than in the performance, as they are touring California on their honeymoon. I see in the distance an airplane. It is landing now, and who is getting off but Carl Rothrock. He must be here to see the preview of Susie Vaughan,s new picture, I'm An Angel. ,jane Bradford is with him. One easily knows that she is here to take Katharine Hepburn's place, as she has been taking dramatic lessons under Professor Gorclan Jones at Chapel Hill. The future is obscured. Now it is cleared! Ah! we are in Radio City, New York. The Cocomalt Program is on. Someone is singing. Is it Kate Smith? No, my mistake. It's nobody else but Dorothy Huffines. Kate Black's orchestra is accompanying her in red hot rhythm. I see in a studio across the hall a trio-The Rhythm Sisters are tapping their way to fame. They are Dorothy Warren, Minna Springs, and Emma Rascoe. Virginia Hutcherson and Genevieve Pettigrew are accompanying them at the piano. After their performance, Thelma Crowder goes to town on the guitar. There is a loud honking outside, of course, who should it be but Charles Phipps jamming up traffic. He finally escapes and I discover that Dorothy Hall and a former graduate are in the back seat. They are riding rapidly toward the dock, where a huge ocean liner is in the harbor. They are, without a doubt, on their honeymoon. There are many other familiar faces on the liner. Among them is Joyce Chambliss. Since she has just received her degree from N. C. she must be on her way to France to teach the French people the correct way to speak French. A loud cry is heard, it is Charles Smith, selling his wares, peanuts and popcorn. Billy Smith is also on board. He must be on his way to darkest Africa to convert the heathen. As the ship leaves dock, Gwen,' Barnes falls into the water. Jack Neese quickly follows -to the rescue. Since he does not succeed in this endeavor, Gordan Ware, captain of the ship, obligingly throws them a life preserver. From the smile on his face, I realize that he is thinking, Well, there goes my good deed for today. The scene changes. I see a large warehouse. It is filled with men. A tall young man is on the platform addressing the assembly. He looks familiar. Why, I believe it is Ernest Jones! He is discussing the merits of his new discovery. Walter Pickrell has an equal share in the glory. They have crossed two plants, the butter bean and the pea, which produces peanut butter. Olgie Somers is listening with interest. After Ernest, Bryan Gibbs takes the floor. He announces that he and Claude Donovant have managed to produce a square pea. This will cause less wear and tear on the fork, as these 19 Xxx 1r.:'q'Xx- JN. -..aii R E N O C A H I iiif-oe vegetables will not then be sliding all over the plate. Bob Moore rises next. He says that he has found that if cows are fed Cocomalt Brand, they will produce Chocolate Milk. After much applause the meeting adjourns, with everybody praising these celebrated farmers. I see, not far down the street, a hospital. Several nurses are strolling leisurely on the grounds. They are Julia Collins, Roma Ingram, Edna Jackson, and Pattie Reid Gibbs. A young interne, William Taylor, walks quickly up the path. Roma rolls her eyes in his direction, but he pays not the slightest attention, as he is busily discussing his next patient with Virgil Truitt, another doctor. I see, through the window, another group of nurses. They are discussing a new doctor that is coming. Lucille Williams is planning to captivate him immediately, while Nancy Price, technician, is powdering her nose, getting ready for the arrival. How surprised they would be if they knew that the new doctor is Diana Thompson. I see now a huge outer office in a great business concern. Many stenographers are typing. Among the less busy are Mary Beth Bennett and Esther Simon. Maybe they aren't busy typing, but they are busy flirting with their boss, Paul White. In the middle of this interesting flirtation, I see Ruby Meeks approaching. She quickly shoves them aside and they now realize that they have competition in a big way. Bertha Walker and Esther Mitchell are going up the walk of a beautfiul mansion. They ring the door bell, and who should come to the door but Mary Willie Hastings! It seems that her friends have assembled here for their weekly bridge game. They've decided to kill two birds with one stone and be beautified while playing bridge, by the celebrated beauticians, Bertha Walker and Esther Mitchell. Mary Evelyn Jones, June Hooper, and Mary Flynn complete this matronly foursome. What chattering! Mary Flynn has just Hnished telling of the merits of her infant, when June chimes in with the announcement that Junior said goo! goo! today. Mary Evelyn is laughing and talking, as usual, about her M.R.S. degree. The Reidsville High School comes into view. Rosemary McLean and Elizabeth Mitchell are coaching the girls' basketball team. Louise Smith, Lucille Roberts and Emily Garrett are also teaching French, Arithmetic, and English respectively. Beulah Clapp is now head of the commercial department. Two teachers, Laura Thompson and Edna Earl Gibson, are talking about the 1,000-word theme that Christina Menzies has written entitled, Studies Get You Theref, Up the hall a few steps, Helen Howell and Virginia Shelton are conversing. They are talking about Lenora Oakley. Lenora has just donated 51,000 to a hospital for dogs and cats. She spends full ten hours of the day with these fortunate animals. Thus, dear Seniors, I have given you a glimpse into the beautiful afternoon of your lives. You and you alone have the power to make this lovely illusion come true. I have shown that I have faith in you by giving you this vision. Keep that faith, and when the afternoon really comes, may each of you be able to say, 'I have fought a good fight, I have Hnished my course, I have kept the faith., Aurora never had cause to weep for mef' MARY EVELYN JONES, Class Proplrefess. -..gif F39-...- -'Q-if R E N O C A H I l39 ' LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We are gathered here this evening upon this solemn and serious occasion for various purposes. The most important of these purposes is that of making a last will and testament, because before we walk out into the sunshine of the morning we wish to bequeath our vast accumulated wealth to those worthy ones who are so diligently following in our footsteps. Therefore, upon behalf of my client, the class of '36 of Reidsville High School, I beg of you to listen to this last will and testament. We, the Class of '36, in several individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of the sphere of education in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory and almost super-human understanding, do hereby make our last will and testament: We will and bequeath to the dear faculty a sweet and unbroken succession of peaceful dreams, and an undying hope for higher salaries. To Miss Baker and Mr. Leggette, our home-room teachers, our profound admiration and enduring friendship. To Avra Sacrinity, Mary Evelyn Jones' athletic ability. To Pam Oliver, Anne Russell Gwyn's dramatic ways. To Anne Garrison and Alice Saunders, Virginia Hutcherson and Nancy Price's chewing gum. To Penelope Donovan, Lucile Williams' come-hither looks. To John Walters, Gordon Jones' originality. To Bobby Wyatt, Gwendolyn Barnes' honor of being the class pest. To Paul Thompson, Roger Rice's ability to get to school early every morning. To D. C. Burton, Bennie Rudd's handsomeness. To Jane Montgomery, Mary Evelyn Jones' popularity. To Reather Hinson, Carl Rothrock's athletic ability. It is one of our greatest wishes that Frances Martin receive Roma Ingram's boy friends. To Beulah Evans, Bertha Walker's sweet smile. We will to May Johnson, Mary Flynn and Margaret McCollum's friendliness. To Lily Stiers, Minna Spring's new boy friend. To Jimmie Scambato, Elizabeth Ward's musical ability. To Margaret Carroll, Susie Vaughn's winning ways. To Frances Daniels, Mary Beth Bennett's crush on Lee Richardson. And, to Bobby Gapen, Dorothy Warren's unusual height. Now Juniors, do not consider these possessions as worthless gifts lavishly thrown away, but as valuable possessions to be carefully kept and taken with you where'er you go. We realize that these few gifts do not compose all the elements necessary to human happiness, but then again we cannot always follow the flower fringed path- way of luxury, honor, power and glory. Therefore, we beg you to accept these things from a class that wishes you the greatest success. ETHYL ANNE HUTCHERSON, Tesfafrix. --.ii 21 13..- i RENOCAHI ls-M SALUTATORY ADDRESS It is my great pleasure and privilege tonight, friends, to greet you from the very depths of my heart, and in the name of all my classmates to pass on to you the glad hail of our enthusiastic Welcome.,' Did you ever stop to think how much may lic underneath the surface of this word I have been chosen to speak to you? After all, our fine words, our lofty sentiments, and high-sounding phrases, how much more can we really put into this greeting to our friends-we hope you are well, we see you are comeg and we know you are welcome.,' To you, this may be indeed a pleasant occasion, for we shall certainly do our best to make it so, at best, it will be only one of many such occasions in your life, which, enjoyable as they may all be at the time, will be but fleeting in their influence. To us, it is a great occasion, a red letter day, one of the brightest spots in all our lives, and bound to live forever in our memories. To our parents and relatives, this is an hour of pride and affection, to my class- mates, an hour of mingled joy in our success, and regret over the necessary parting. And you, kind teachers, as we step forth to represent in the outside world the school from which we pass, have a right to ask of us that we show our colors-that we give voice to our principles, our aims, and our ambitions -for it is through them and what we make of them that all honor must reflect back upon the school whose seal we bear. We trust that you may ever find us faithful to those virtues, for which you have trained and taught us to stand, as we face the problems that are to confront us outside. If we do this as you have instructed us, we shall never be ashamed to know that the boys and girls of Reidsville High are watching the career of this class of '36 with eager eyes, and resolving to follow in our footsteps. As we look back over the past few years, we feel that we can truthfully say that we have done our best at all times and in all places to make the most of every oppor- tunity, so far as our young minds were able to understand it. We mean to continue to do that same best at all times and in all places where fate may direct our paths. And we are sure that at this time every one must realize something of what it means to us, and while grieving with us at the sundering of the dear class ties that each year have helped to make stronger, must at the same time rejoice with us that we have been able to accomplish so much as we have, while wishing for each of us greater triumphs in whatever work may be ahead of us. We ask you, then, dear friends, to be glad with us and for us, as we enter upon this memorable hour, sure that we are all most earnest in assuring you of our joy at having you with us, and that I, in the warm inspiraton of your presence, am most sincere in telling you in the name of gny classmates, how truly glad we are that you are here. CHRISTINA MENZIES, Salufaforian. Mgr ZZ isa.- ,,.,1 tif fi 'lf Us I Y Ii R E N C C A HI lik-- VALEDICTORY Dear parents, teachers, classmates, and all of our friends who have had a share in bringing to pass this day of days, to you we offer our sincere gratitude. Without your devotion, your wise counsel, your patience, your belief in us, we could never have succeeded in accomplishing this much of our goal. Now, we have come to the turning point of our life. We have progressed, yes, but we are only at the commencement of our life. For years we have walked through dark- ness, hoping and striving to attain oun goal, and now, we are nearing the top. Again we thank you who have helped us at every. turn, who have sought to make the path easier for us, and who have done your utmost to help us succeed. You, our parents and teachers, are the deserving ones. From our earliest days, you have instructed us to the best of your ability, urging us on to higher achievements. And now, as we climb higher and higher, may we keep this memory in our hearts. You ask no worldly reward. Your heart's desire is that we become worthy men and women, ones that you would be proud to acknowledge. Dear friends, we stand tonight not at twilight, but at che dawn of a new day, filled with untold challenges. Our aim is to climb upward, ever upward. The road has not been easy, the road will not be easy, but the goal is well worth working for. Things easily won are' easily wasted and forgotten. Therefore, we will value our achievements more in attaining them by hard work and honest toil. In behalf of the Senior Class of 1936, I bid you one and all, a fond and happy farewell.
