Cf course, the group that remains is the cream of the crop , as you might say, of the hundred or so that probably began about the same time. All the faulty material has been weeded out, and there remain less than forty who have continued their schooling in spite of sev- enth grade tests, disease epidemics, and such. Most of us have had such well- loved teachers as Miss Annie Maud Pol- lard, Miss Revelle, Miss Tyler, and Miss Dungan. We began our career at North lunior High under the leadership of Mr. Cald- well and finished under Mr. Haltiwanger. Throughout the years at junior and senior high, we have actively supported the city government organization and held impor- tant positions on various teams, editorial staffs, and clubs. ff in captivity, two great actresses, Myrtle Rykard and lane Bennett: Kate Reece, debater: and Wilma Archer, newspaper editor. Collectively speaking, the class is unrivaled in beauty, brains, and ath- letic ability, We all, more or less successfully, sur- vived the catastrophic effects of the de- depression, M. O. S., and American His- tory. The main events of our senior year were the Iunior-Senior reception, the stage presentation of Macbeth and par- ticipation on North High's first football team. Now, after at least eleven years of trib- ulation, we are at last ready to receive our diplomas as North Highs Hrst Iune graduates, leaving the fame of our accom- plishments and our deep love for our Al- ma Mater as a heritage to those who are to follow us. 3 Z K : C1 L Prfgs- llxirtv BLACK AND GGLD'

Two long legs emerged from the cabin followed by the familiar specs of Wade Poindexter who had just come West to take over an executive position with M. G. M. studios and play the part of Leo, the M. G. M. lion, since the Marx brothers have con- fined themselves strictly to grand opera. The pilot raised his goggles and started forward: A Well, Wade Poindexter! I didn't know you were the fat, white haired exec- utive I was hauling around. And you are Robert Burns, my old North High pal. Well, the world's a small place after alll And Wade put another stick of Wrigley's in his mouth. He had been carrying it around with him for ten years, hoping that Miss Mint would stop him and hand out a dollar. A Say, quoth the pilot, meeting you here makes me think of the good old days at North High. A lot of our friends have become famous since then. Did you know E. F. Freemand and Myrtle Rykard are out here in Califor- nia? E. F. is a cartoonist who is giving Walt Disney something to think about, while Myrtle is a stage and screen star who emotes at present in a well known musical comedy, 'Strike Me Pale Pinkf Charles Vannoy is working overtime lately since so many people have accepted Mae Wests invitation, to Acome up and see her sometimef Charles is her eleva- tor boy. I heard that Kate Reece is running for governor of N. C. in favor of the Townsend old age pension plan. Mary Elizabeth Coe is happily mar- ried and is now living in W. S. She BLACK AND GOLD cooks daily for six little Cookes. 'AWilliam Kates and Mary Ellen lohn- ston are now coaching basketball and de- veloping two Fast Fairview Fives. Elizabeth Barbee, Nell Barrett, and Edna Hudspeth have started a girls school. They are teaching girls how to be beautiful since they know all about it. Their associates are Pansy Freeman, Evelyn Cooke, and Cleo Warner. Hun- dreds of beautiful girls are turned out yearly by these experienced instructors for the stage aand screen. Wilma Archer and Nina Iackson are writing blood-curdling murder mystery novels for the master detective magazines. lane Bennett has signed a contract to double for Shirley Temple. Kathleen Moore, who got her start singing during Mr. Swaringen's absence from home room one morning, knocked Major Bowes off his feet with her vocal- izing and gave him the gong. I was flying to California from N. Y., the pilot continued, and I had to make a forced landing in Kansas. I dropped in on a white bearded hermit. He was no less than Albert McKinney, our ole pal. He explained his action saying he had been disappointed in love. Wade interrupted there, I hear Holly- wood is a lively town. Let's ankle over to the Cocoanut Grove. Here they found that the hit of the show was the famous dance team, Mary Hanes, the electric-fan dancer, and Lena Branson, the soap-bubble dancer. While they were engrossed in this spectacle, Robert punched Wade with Do you see what I see? and no less person than Allen Hunt, the master of ceremonies, in frock-tail loat and white tie, came into view and began crooning into the microphone.
