LAST WIIJL AND TESTAMENT OF IANUARY CLASS Lillian Currin, Testator H We, the lirst lanuary graduating class of lohn W. Hanes High School, being only slightly Htetchedf' do hereby be- queath our magnificent abilities and our handsome features to our fortunate suc- cessors: Section I Article I To Mr. Haltiwanger, our principal, we leave our undying gratitude for his int- erest in us as a whole, his wisdom in guiding us, and his jolly good humor at all times. Article II To Mr. Swaringen, we leave the on- coming seniors and hope they will prove as faithful and worthy of him as we did. But above all we hope they will take after us and study in their homeroom as earnestly and diligently as befits their mental ability. Article III To the faculty, we leave our citizen- ship reports. May they have the utmost enjoyment in filling them full of crosses. Section II Article I To Rachael Payne, Ruby Hall leaves her ability in athletics. We hope she will shoot more goals in basketball than Ruby did. P. S. Ruby played guard. Article II To Martha Iones, Evangeline Butner leaves her extra lbs. of weight, now Mar- tha can stop drinking milk. Article III To Curtis Parker, we leave Dorothy Gehmans ability to read books. We hope he will take advantage of this so Miss Dungan can get rid of him in Eng- lish VII. Article IV To Mr. Iohnston, we leave all the X's he gave on our citizenship reports, which we readily saw were not meant for love and kisses. We return them with our best regards and also with Frances Phil- lip's blushes. Article V To Frances Tucker, Louise Barnes Page one hunilre.l l'li1l'ly-I. leaves the good looks so graciously left her by Doris Tucker in Iune. Article VI Grace Smiths acting ability we leave to Una White. We hope this will help Una overcome her stage fright. Article VII Tommy Hinshaw's height we leave to Sue Williams. With this added height Sue should make a good basketball play- er next year. Article VII To Mallie Mae Bennett, Ruth Holton leaves her ability in Latin. We hope Mallie will be able to apply it with more ease than Ruth has. Article IX Leon Goforth leaves to Bob Newsom his acting ability. With all this ability maybe Bob will rate. Article X To E. Robbins, Carl McCulloh leaves his star quarter-back position on the football teamg and Ioe Wright will- ingly bequeaths his famous physique to Iohn Wooten. Article XII Miss Woodmore has collected and assembled into a notebook all Harry Lee Clodfelter's daily assignments in sales- manship which we leave to Ivis Hicks as a good example. Article XII To Miss Hale we graciously leave the forthcoming Commercial Law class. We hope they won't be as critical and com- plaining as we were. Article XIII The class as a whole leaves all their left over units to Frances Newsom. We hope these will help her to get out of school: it seems everything else has failed. Article XIV C. C. Goforth leaves his reputation as Romeo Goforth to Gene Disher who seems sadly in need of it. Article XV And last, Lillian Currin wills her mem- tContinued on page 234i HANES HIGH SCHOOL

IANUARY CLASS PRGPHECY Grace Smith, Prophet Sailing, sailing, over the bounding main, played the orchestra as the good ship Typee pulled and tugged until she made her way out to sea in the year 1948. It was my first sea voyage and I, being a reporter on The Globe, a New York daily newspaper, was given the assign- ment of going to the Glympic Games in Germany to convey all news of impor- tance or unimportance tas the case might bel to our own U. S. A. After dinner on our first night at sea I strolled to the ballroom for amusement. Whom should I see as featured dancers but the celebrated team of Barnes and Clodfelter tLouise and Harry, of coursej my old classmates at Hanes High. At the end of their dance I spoke to them and asked of our other classmates. They told me that loseph Wright had married Dorothy Gehman, heiress to the Oehman millions: they occupied the Grand Suite on board ship and were en route to Asia Minor. The next morning as I was reclining in my special deck chair, who should stroll by but the captain of HTypee. Looking up in amazement, I discovered walking with him, none other than Dewey Pegram. Quickly making conversation with him I learned that he also was sail- ing to Germany to finish his studies in Art and Sculpturing. Later I learned that Dewey had won a huge Scholarship for his celebrated work in the United States. 'AWell, I said to myself, I wonder if any more of my old friends are on board this ship. Determined to find out, I made my way into the ship's beauty parlor for a mani- cure. Who should come to my aid but Tommy Hinshaw, Americas greatest beauty specialist. While indulging in conversation with Tommy, I learned that Frances Phillips and C. C. Goforth were also on board the ship. Frances, it seems, BLACK AND GOLD was enjoying another of her pleasure trips-this time to Germany. C, C., I learned, was the ladies man on board the Typee, having all eligible ladies on the run, We docked in Germany a few days later and I started to work, On the first day of the games the womens swim- ming matches were held. Among those who made international news was Lillian Currin, who was a competitor and the winner of the free style championship for America. On the second day I learned that Ruby Hall was among those competing in the womens finals in Hurdle Iumping. Ruby also brought Uncle Sam in for first place. Among the men contestants I found, also making international news, Carl lVIcCulloh, Americas fastest track runner, who lost his breath and fell in the middle of the track! Too bad, Carl! . The games being over, I boarded the ship to sail for home. Having nothing else to do, I sought out Frances Phillips for companionship. Of course we talked of school days. She told me that Ruth Holton was a teacher in the University of North Carolina and that Evangeline Butner was the private secretary of the Mayor of New York City. And where, I asked, is the beauty of our class-Frances Cookezn Oh, did not you know? Frances exclaimed. Why she is now acting in Romeo and Juliet, holding the leading role. She is considered the greatest actress on Broad- way! Presently we heard the ships gong ring for dinner, and so we separated until tomorrow, next week, or next year. My trip had indeed been a joyous one and my work had been well done, for I had previously received a cable from The Globe, saying that my assignment had created a great sensation in the United States.
