I -on Hai HISTORY OF IANUARY CLASS, 1936 Ina Grubbs, Historian This, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirty-six, is for the most part made up of native born citizens of Winston--Salem except for three and these are natives of North Carolina. In 1925 some very frightened and some very eager children entered the different schools of the city to be led along the path of learning. Some had the good fortune to be together through all of their school lives, while others, through some fortunate or unfortunate chance, entered the class at a later date. In 1930 we were promoted to North Iunior High School and had the ill luck to be the lowest grade in the school. We therefore determined to make the school proud of us before we left it, It seems that we had succeeded. We had as members of our class, Bobby Young, ex-mayor, Doris Turner, judge of the court, Bernice Rykard, court stenogra- pher, and Sylvester Iohnson, ex-chief of police. We had in addition to this, three members of the newspaper staff, Iames Snipes, assistant business mana- ger, Bernice Rykard, business staff, and Nola Tuttle, reporter. , lust as we were about to resign our- selves to having to leave North to go to high school we were duly informed that we were in North High School! Imagine our surprise! We immediately put upon ourselves the robes of dignity. On reaching the position of seniors, we decided we needed a good leader. Bernice Rykard was elected to this posi- tion and the class agrees that she has been a good president. Being the first class to graduate from North High we naturally feel rather im- portant. We sincerely hope that we will do nothing to cast reflection on us or our school in the years to come. x w1? F 'i,' .0 sgzlbkriridvk W . ,X Page twenty BLACK AND GOLD

Bobby tplease excuse us, Mr. Robertl Young, the newly elected mayor of the city is poking his official nose into tent flaps and stands to be sure that the circus folk are violating none of the regulations of his fair city. A hearty slap on the back almost sends his cigar down his throat and he turns to face a yellow and red appari- tion- Chip Iohnson, himself, the chief clown of the show and an old friend of the mayors XNell, well, l've been looking for you , the clown began, l have a message from Madamoiselle Turner in Paris. The mayor pricked up his ears at the mention of madamoiselle and Paris. Who wouldnt? She knew that we would tour this country and asked me to look up her old friends in the class of '36. was just plain Doris mayor, and what is Yes, but she then, began the she now? An opera star and a good one. And do you remember lna Grubbs? l saw her in New York. She is acting as secretary to the president of the Chase National Bank Not bad. l should say not! But who else have you seen in your wanderingsl' Page X I5 t Now let me see. There was a young couple by the name of Snipes. He called her Bernice, so that must have been her name at North I-ligh-Bernice Rykard. They were enjoying a quiet home life, as far as I could see. I wonder, thought the Mayor, with a reminiscent look in his eyes. And say , went on the clown, I saw a swell opening in New York, the Gold Diggers of 1946 Maybe some of them are your old friends. Nola Tuttle is be- ginning her stage career as leading lady. Sure l remember Nola. Let's see, that leaves only a few more. Have you ever heard of a chap by name of A. V. Barringer? The one with a mustache? Oh, yes, he's the president of the A. and P. Stores of the U. S. And he told me that your friends Misses Krites, Vanhoy, and Rus- sell are learning more about the gentle art of house-keeping as they are on the list of brides-to-be. Well, that accounts for all of them, l guess. Say wait - But the clown was dissappearing to- ward the center of the ring as the band struck up the tune for his entrance, and the mayor was left to chew thoughtfully on his cigar and think over old days at North High.
