if - fc-:Scif HISTORY OF IUNE CLASS, 1937 Everette Charles, Historian ln September, l933, South Iunior High School had so many freshmen that the other students fand ourselves most of all. we thoughtj were crowded. As we think of ourselves, as we were four years ago. it seems that everyone of us was an avia- tor. tBoy! you should have seen us fly through the halls after having marched in line for seven long yearslj Since the word aviator seems to have described us, let us say that we were only student pilots at first. We began our study tnot honest to goodness work! flying, but with Mr. M. Shields, as our principal. lust as all have done, other high school students we did not realize what a fine faculty we had and how much we really liked them in spite of the difficult homework which they seldom failed to assign. Our first two years of high school are like a puzzle that can't be solved. We were divided among the twenty home rooms of the school without any rela- tionship whatsoever as freshmen or soph- omores. We did not even know each other's name. We are proud of the fact, however, that fifty members of graduation class served at least one term during his high school career as one or more of the big four oiiicers of his class. It was during this lapse of time that our principal, Mr. Shields, retired in favor of Mr. K, G. Phillips. February, 1936, brought us together as the Iunior Class of South High School. We then selected our sponsor, Miss Edna Higgins, and elected our officers: Lucile Wyatt, presidentz Ed Mendenhall, vice- presidentg Helen Swaim, secretaryg and I. E. Tate, treasurer. Our outstanding social event of this semester was the Iun- Pngr forty-four ior-Senior Banquet, where we featured a genuine mwah-hoo orchestra. We especially enjoyed this because we earned most of the expenses by selling candy at our basketball games. September of 1936 brought us together, we thought, as the Senior Class of South High School. But misfortune laughed at us again. There were so many of us that we could not get into one room. Therefore we divided and select- ed two sponsors: Miss Eleanor Cain and Miss Margaret McLean. Our officers were elected in due time: Roy Bovender, president, Ralph Leonard, vice presidentg Lucile Wyatt, secretary. As our president could not be in both home rooms at one time, we elected two chair- men: E. Tate and Ed Mendenhall of Miss Cain's and Miss McLean's rooms respectively. We liked these fine offic- ers so much that we decided to keep them for both semesters. During that year our social life was by no means neglected. The two most outstanding events were the Masquerade Party and the Iunior-Senior Banquet. We really enjoyed the latter because of what it meant to us. We were greatly pleased at the begin- ning of the second semester because we were permitted to have the library for our home room. As Miss McLean found it necessary to leave, we selected Mrs. Lucia Blackwood to take her place. When that year came to a close, we had proved what we could do. We had shown our stability to Miss Stephenson through M. O. S4 Miss Glasgow made us observers of America each Friday through the American Observer . BLACK AND GOLD

I er 83 PROPI-IECY OF IUNE CLASS Lois Zimmerman, Prophet It has been said that if you stand on Times Square, you will eventually see someone you know. As I am an in- quisitive and doubtful person, I one day in the spring of 1947, endeavored to vis- it Times Square and prove or disprove this statement. I had stood on the corner for sixty seconds when I felt a hearty slap on the back. Turning, I found Hoyle Mann- most recent explanations why women's hearts beat faster. It seems that Hoyle is in New York on a visit before ap- pearing in Love and Learn with Mary Leonard. Hoyle explained that Annie Iarvis is the author of Love and Learn . a best seller. He gave me the low-down on Rever- end Walter Cook who is now in Holly- wood trying to convince the actors that his way is best. His wife is Agnes Mc- Nair. Norma Minish, Nancy Fisher, and Ruth Hege are members of Brother and Sister Cook's choir. Soon Ed Mendenhall and Rose Wood came by. Naturally, Ed hollers, Hey and stops to tell of his job as publicity manager for the Paradise Cafe Where Rose sings. He tells of celebraties who visit there, such as LeRoy Peebles, man- ager of Hi-De-Ho Revue, W. Dillon, his star jugglerg Ethel Wooten, owner of The Swank, New York's best dress shop. As he kept talking to me, I heard from almost everyone in my senior graduating class of 1937. Charles Simmons and Farris Eddinger invented a weight reducer. The slim and lovely Iosephine Kreegar is proof of its success. Ralph Leonard is the leader and Grandpa of a Hill-billy Band. Ari- zona Al tEverette Charlesj, Montana Mont fCecil Stewartj, and Wyoming Will QHubert Weirj are his helpers. Mr. and Mrs. E. Tate lMargaret Baugussj are members of Chicago's BLACK AND GoLD ' smart young set. Mr. Tate holds a po- sition in the First National Bank. His secretary is Miss Margaret Smith. In Detroit, we find Mr. and Mrs. Da- vid Doty. David is a star football player with the Detroit Tigers. Mrs. Doty fAlice Iohnsonj is his manager and says, H We won't play for less than 525,000 a year. C. E. Gordon and Ernest Shore are also playing with the Tigers. V Back in New York, we find Rosa Speaks, Mildred Hedgecock, and Mary Frances Wooten modeling latest fashions in women's clothes. In their home city fWinston-Saleml, we find Lucille Wyatt and Helen Swaim teaching young citizens that one and one equals four. They visit Gladys Brown at her modernistic beauty shop often. If you desire a house you'd probably go to Collins Real Estate Agency where Mr. W. A. Collins, Ir. will satisfy you with the aid of Evelyn Tillmon, his as- sistant. Iack Simmons has at last stooped and conquered. He is a farmer and wins many prizes with his large, perfectly formed squashes. His competitor for awards is Grady Zimmerman. Roy Bovender and Randall Manning are salesmen for the Windsor Candy Company. In Washington, D. C. we find Irene Edman as a dignified Senatoress from North Carolina. Corrie Ferguson and Mildred Floyd are typists in the government offices there. Wvilliam Bowers announces programs over WXZ, Charlotte, North Carolina. Across the Atlantic, is Clois Renigar singing over a London Broadcasting Sta- tion: Lucy Lee Ioyce and Nancy Davis are globe trotters. In China, you'll find Iohn Crouch tell- ing American citizens there what happen- fContinued on page 222j Page forty-five
