rc., we S32 -w51r..,.r PROPHECY OF IANUARY CLASS, 1937 Anne Fort, Prophet On a cold Ianuary day in 1947 I hur- ried into the home of Mrs. Pat Patterson lLouise Hendersonj. Come right in, Louise explained You could never guess what I'm doing. Anne, I'm addressing cards to all the members of the '37 graduating class in- forming them of the alumni meeting to be held next month. How do you find time for so many things, Louise? I questioned. I have so much business to handle in my beauty shop, that I can hardly do all that's re- quired of me. I imagine the Ann Art Beauty Shop- pe does keep you busy, but I promised Helen Willard, secretary of the class, I would address these cards for her. She is a buyer for the Silver's Store, Inc., and is on a business trip. I hope she can get back for the reunion. We settled down to addressing cards, and who should be listed first but the class sponsor, Mrs. Laerski lMiss Daisy Lee Glasgowj. The he turned out to be not a fake but a reality. However, she couldn't give up her job, for she hop- ed that she might meet another gem U1 like the Ianuary Class of 1937. 'Al hate to ask G. R. away from his pleasant job, with the Pulliam Under- takers, but we must have him here, Louise said. Doris Davis 'fthe great debaterf' was reached by sending a card to Richmond, Virginia where she charms the court with her oratorical ability and beauty. Mildred Carroll receives her card in Richmond, for of course, wherever David is, Ionathan is not far away. Mildred is the head of the Recreation Depart- ment of Richmond. Two cards found their way to New York. There Henry Folsom is the owner of Folsom Ready to Wear Store. The slogan is Fol 'som values up to take home. Wilmoth Money has found a BLACK AND GOLD way to use her graceful walk by model- ling woman's clothes in Henry's store. Pauline Yontz keeps up with all as editor of the Twin Gitymite-from the smallest announcement in the society world to the biggest business deal. E Only yesterday I read that Marshall Bodenheimer had been appointed man- ager of S. H. Kress and company. Iua- nita Cline, who was floorlady in the store here, has been transferred to the Greensboro store. On the society page appeared the an- nouncement Miss Beatrice Markland had been quietly married to Mr. K. Ever- hart. My goodness, I thought, think of Beatrice doing anything quietly! Addressed to the Twin City Day Nursery one card reached Ruth Gate- wood, the friend of children. Two youngsters who stay there are packed off to bed early every night with a promise from their mother, Mrs. Scott fElizabeth Crowl that when they are high school seniors they can stay up as late as they wish. The city library recived two cards- the ones to Opal Brown and Louise Ni- fong. Miss Baity has trained them so well that they are very efficient librarians especially in helping students find ma- terial for Mrs. Laerski's history assign- ments. The Mayflower Hotel, Washington, D. C. two cards read. There lack Styron and his orchestra furnish dinner music with Virginia Brock, as soloist. One card went to a young lady who has a perfect right to hold men's hands. At the Iohn Hopkins Institute in Balti- more, Maryland, Virginia Easter, per- forms her duties. Frances Perryman and Frances Peg- ram were reached at the Wachovia Bank. They have proved to be valu- able stenographers in that business, fContinued on page 203l Page thirty-one

...tr n L.r, HISTORY OF IANUARY CLASS, 1937 Ruth Gatewood, Historian The spring of 1933 marked the be- ginning of our eventful history. It was during our green young freshman year that we formed the foundation for the happy years that were to follow. Since our school was a junior high, we were combined with the sixth and seventh grades during our freshman and sophomore year. We did not elect any class officers: however, Doris Davis served as secretary of the student organ- ization. There was also among us others who were destined to become leaders. As love sick juniors we were organ- ized for the first time. In fact we ac- complished a great deal of which we were proud. When we elected officers, Doris Davis was chosen to be our pres- identg Anne Fort, secretary: and jack Styron, treasurer. Many members of our class held outstanding organization jobs. Among them was G. R. Pulliam, who served as the school's president. Although we had many capable workers, we often found ourselves in need of help and advice of Miss Virginia Allen, our sponsor. We enjoyed many social activities, but the crowning event was when we entertained the first seniors at a pioneer junior-Senior Banquet. In sports we were well represented by both the boys and the girls. Cheering and hard fighting pushed our teams to numerous victories. The only flaw in our happiness was the illness and death of Katherine Burns. Before we realized it, we reached the first half of our senior year. We were given the senior privileges for which we had been longing. Our first task was to choose our class leaders. jack Styron was president, Doris Davis, vice presi- dent, and Anne Fort, secretary. Again members of our class held prominent po- sitions in organization work. G. R. was re-elected as president of the student Page thirty body, and Doris Davis served as vice president. We had many good times with Miss Margaret McLean as our sponsor. However, the main issue was work. When we started on the last mile of our road, there were only twenty-two of us, but we were a very happy group with Miss Daisy Lee Glasgow as our class sponsor. Without her helpful guidance we would never have gotten through the trials of graduation. Indeed, our senior happiness would have been complete but for the loss of one of our number, Virginia Wooters. Under the leadership of G. R. Pulliam as president, Mildred Carroll, vice presi- dent, Helen Willard, secretary, and lack Styron, treasurer: we worked together successfully. Doris Davis was president of the stu- dent body and president of the Inter- Club Council of Girl Reserves. Also, Anne Fort was vice president of the school. Other members continued to hold positions of importance. Our social life was certainly not ne- glected. Mildred Carroll, chairman of the social committee, gave us many good times. We shall never forget the par- ties Miss Glasgow and Miss Hall gave us, but the acme of entertainment was the Banquet which the juniors gave us on the Roof Garden of the Robert E. Lee Hotel. Class day and graduation will always stand out in our memory. We shall never forget the splendid talk which Dr. Ralph A. Herring gave. If ever it is necessary for us to wear caps and gowns again, perhaps we shall know how it should be done. As the years roll by, our hearts will turn to praise you, dear South High. We shall always remember the things you have taught us and the things for which you stand. BLACK AND GOLD
