A- .. S36 7.z...,.. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF IANUARY CLASS Zeno Hoots We, the lanuary class of 1937, being possessed of a somewhat limited estate, desiring greatly to show our apprecia- tion to those who have aided and been friends to us and realizing it more bless- ed to give than to receive, not grudingly or of necessity, do solemnly dispose of the following of our possessions: Article I Item I: To Mr. Ioyner and the faculty we do express our sincere appreciation for their patient, diligent, and cease- less efforts in our behalf. Item II: To the llB class and the seniors yet to come we leave the thrill of graduating and the privilege of being honored guests at the Iunior-Senior We regret to say that these are the on- ly remaining remnants of the many senior privileges. Item III: To Miss Nicholson and Miss Flynn, the Librarians, we render our heartfelt thanks for aid given us in our reference work and especially for their many efforts to find us small books with large print. Item IV: We do cheerfully leave to the faithful janitors the long awaiting pri- vileges of picking up our exam papers. Article II Item I: We gladly leave 100 pounds of Dunn Midyette to Walter Curley. We feel this would materially improve Walter's excellent athletic ability which we hope will enable the foot- ball team to win the state champion ship in 1940. Item II: To Mack Alspaugh, Harry Lee Nunn hands down his dramatic ability. Incidentally Mack will inherit Harry Lee's handsomeness which has been such a decided factor in his success in dramatics. Item III: Iames Swaim leaves to lack BLACK AND GOLD Brown his beautiful, golden brown hair. Item IV: Carl Dixson gladly leaves to Sam Smith his good looks: his famous, cunning smile, however, he steadfastly refuses to part with. Item V: The Siamese Twins are repre- sented in our class in the personages of Nell Ferebee and Virginia Nading. We leave this sincere friendship and seats by each other in the class room to Kathleen Murray and Edna Thom- as, hoping that one will never be seen without the other. Item VI: We are happy to hand down Phil Froelich's wonderful gift of gab to one Clay Shields, who, we are sure, will put it to many and varied uses. Item VII: Ruth I-Iauser leaves to Iohn Peddycord her superb intellectual pow- er. This gift is sympathetically made in response to Iohn's need of such. Article III Lastly after a special conference with Miss Heilig we leave to all future class day officers a liberal portion of our ori- ginality, they may be assured this will prove most valuable in satisfactorily arranging their class history, prophecy, poem, and will. We do hereby appoint our mutual friend and history model, Miss Margaret Lumpkin, as sole executrix of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof we have set our hand and seal, this, the 28th day of Ianu- ary, Anno Domini, Nineteen Hundred Thirty-seven. Respectfully submitted Zeno Hoots, Testator Witnesses: Governor Alf Landon Dr. Samuel Johnson Daniel Boone Page one hundred sevent

r A. , CLASS PRoPHEcY OF IANUARY 1937 Phil Froelich, Prophet Wandering aimlessly down the street one afternoon recently, I busied my mind with thoughts of my past life, and part- icularly, about the people I had once known. Where were my classmates from High School, for instance? What could have happened to them? How strange it seemed that in the short twen- ty-three years since we were all seniors in Reynolds High School so many of them had completely disappeared and I knew nothing of them. I mentally resolved to find out about them, sometime and somehow-and then let myself drift off lazily into other thoughts without any plans in mind. Being naturally of an easy-going tem- perament, I am not usually surprised, but I was somewhat startled when a pack- age suddenly dropped out of the ether at my feet, rudely interrupting my remin- iscences. The package was torn and dir- ty, but when I examined it, I discovered it was a newspaper-a kind I had never seen before, Twin City Advertiser. Perhaps it was the new paper which had been rumored about Winston-Salem for some time, I thought, until I noticed the date-Ianuary 30, 1960. Then I knew it to be a revelation of the future: where it came from and what it meant I could not fathom, but I hastened to read it, feel- ing sure that it would contain some news of my long lost friends. On the second page I found an article headed A'Peace Necessary To Mankind dated from London, England, written by the famous reporter, Alex Nading. An- other item was headed World Traveler Presents Colorful Travelogue, and, strangely enough, the traveler was Iames Phillips. On the editorial page was an article written by Iulian Daye, editor of the Twin City Advertiser. In the personal column the following articles: Woodrow Iarvis and cousin, Virginia, are leaving tomorrow for New York, where they will begin a round-the- Page one hundred sixtee world flight in a new type speed plane. Miss Carol Davis will leave tomorrow for Miami, Florida, where she will spend the remaining winter months competing in the National Amateur Golf and Tennis Matches. Miss Virginia Nading, sec- retary to the President, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nading, of this city. One advertisement on the same page caught my eye: Be Well Groomed-I. F. Braswell Barber Shop. Another ad- vertisment read: Morris Service- Own- ed and Operated by Wm. Murpheyf' On the society page I found some in- teresting news: ML Ioel Merrit to be speaker at Rotarian Banquet. Miss Hazel Creson, only woman member of Congress, to visit city. 'AMiss Frances Anderson, world champion woman 500- meter swimmer, returns after competing in the Olympic games in Geneva, Swit- zerlandf' At the bottom of the page I found a comic strip drawn by Bill King, a resume of 1959 highlights, by Roxie Rothrock, news analyst, and a poem by Edward Iurney. On the last page were stock quotations by the brokerage firm of Hoots, Child- ress, and Boger. Also there was an esti- mate of an estate by the law firm of Page, Dixson, and Dize. I read Examinations End At Reynolds High School, an announcement made by the principal, Iohn Davis. At the bottom of the page I noticed this advertisement: Buy your pencils, paper, notebooks, etc., etc., etc., from a reliable concern, K. M. Cashion and Company. On the sports page I found this story: A'Coach lim Swaim's Lavender Wave of Arkansas University Defeats Yale! Al- so on this page was the item: 'Coach Midyette of Notre Dame Ousted by Of- ficialsf' fContinued on page 206D BLACK AND GOLD
