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.

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.
