She consoles her- self by singing lullabys to her dimpled baby. Arlene Hall, a millionaire because of her star- tling new discovery, is seeking a home-loving hus- band. No news concerning Faye Hayes, but it is thought that Prince Charming bore her away on his swift steed one morning. Fred Hayes gave up his doctor's career with the complaint that he just couldn't concentrate on his work with so many pretty nurses around. Upon giving up his job as bus driver, Ray Hogan was heartbroken, but he is happy once again in his job of driving a Greyhound bus. The former Mary Susan Johnson, now living on the Auman Farm, has gained a few pounds be- cause of her sudden fondness for carrots. I. D. jones, the youngest candidate to ever run for President of the United States, has the ma- jority of the people backing him. The former Elclora King no longer charms men with her brown fiirty eyes, but bakes biscuits for an All American Pisgah farmer. Admiral Grayson King was recently honored in Hollywood. The narrative of his exploits was ter- rorizing. Imogene King, happily married to a Merchant Marine of World War II, is a supervisor at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Paul King succeeded Eddie Cantor on the radio as the pub.lic's favorite comedian, and is creating a world-wide sensation.

CLASS I-IISTCDBY BONG! BONGl Nine o'clock, Thursday morn- ing, September 12, 1941. School! Look at all those green Freshmen trooping into the build- ing, looks as if they were lost, but glad and proud because it's their first year in high school. Miss Maude Reed welcomed the girls, and Mr. T. W. Parker took charge of the boys. After becoming acquainted with all the new students, the class elected their officers and soon were deep in their job of learning. Many of the girls and boys were selected to play on the basketball teams, and did their part well. So, with the able assistance and kindness of our teachers, we finished our first high school year with flying colors, and looked forward to summer vacation. But, after four short months, we were back again, knowing that we had really missed school and our classmates after all. Miss Reed took the girls in tow again this year, and the boys reported back to Mr. Parker too. Being familiar with the high school system by now, we settled down more quickly this year, though we thoroughly missed not having any Freshmen to lord it over. Several of our classmates were honored by bids to the Beta Club, and we were proud of them. Although there had been several changes in the faculty, we, as silly Sophomoresf' once more made good and were passed on, maybe by the good will of our teachers. When the class entered as jolly juniors in 1943, the boys' division was again under the supervision of Mr. Parker, while the girls were met by Miss Evelyn Kearns. This year we took full opportunity of the lowly Fresh- men, too. We took more interest in our school 91945512-HI work too, and other girls were taken into the Beta Club. Probably the greatest thrills of our junior year were the selecting of our class rings, and our junior-Senior trip. We enjoyed that trip, even though it did rain al- most all day. So we think that our entire class has earned the right to say that we have co- operated well with the other classes of our school and have taken part in all the activi- ties. Now-after three years of hard work, mixed with their full share of fun, we have earned the title of Dignified Seniors. No one can call us too stuffy though, because we have done swell in our time. Here are a few things to prove that statement. The Beta Club is made up almost entirely of Sen- iors. They edit and print the Highfife, too. A lot of Athletic honors have gone to members of our class. Most of us are in all the different clubs, and almost every other position of im- portance has fallen to a Senior. So, in parting let us apoligize to our many teachers, who, we know, have had many trying times with us, but we give them full credit for a good try. Our class is considerably smaller since entering into our Freshman year, because many of our members are in the service, and others have dropped out, but the entire Sen- ior Class shed a few tears about leaving our old high school, and our old friends. We'll miss you, but we are proud, too-proud that we have acquired here a part of the neces- sary elements to set us out prepared on the great sea of life. COLLHIQN PEGRAM, C lair H fJ'l01'fn1lI.
