IANUARY CLASS HISTORY Margaret Cook, Historian In the Spring of 1933 we left the grammar schools which we had been attending and came to South High School, which was at that time South Iunior High School. We felt small a- mong our superiors at first, but after a 1 few weeks among the strangers, who soon became our friends, we began to get accustomed to our surroundings and to take part in the school activities. To help us become acquainted with the school laws, an older person was assign- ed to each newcomer to act as a 'Abig sister or brother This made us feel as though we really were a part of the school. After the six years of marching up and down steps and in the halls single file and not being allowed to speak a word, we felt foot loose and fancy free , and we acted like a pack of wild horses stampeding up and down the halls. By the time we were sophomores we had settled down to honest-to-goodness hard work, and were by this time taking an active part in school activities.

The officers in our Iunior Class were as follows: Pres- ident, Carrie Donnell: Vice president, I. M. Hall: Secretary, Audrey Iames: and Treasurer, Paul Ledbetter. Page one hundred sexenly We enjoyed many social events, but the main social activity was the Iunior- Senior Banquet at the Roof Garden of the Robert E. Lee Hotel, at which we had as our guests the Senior Class. In a few days fit seemedi we were dignified seniors. We elected as the oliicers of our homeroom the following: President, Alma Holden: Vice President, Bennett Noel: Secretary, Margaret Cook: and Treasurer, Paul Ledbetter. We were proud of the fact that we had leaders of the school in our homeroom. Roy Bovender was President of the Stu- dent Body: Carrie Donnell, Superinten- dent of the Personal Relations Depart- ment: Ernest Shore, Superintendent of the Library Council: Ed McMillan, Cap- tain of the football team: and Margaret Cook, Superintendent of the Library Pages. We were well represented in sports, but mainly by the boys: however the girls played an active part by attending the games and cheering with all their will and might on the sidelines. A crowning social event in our Senior year was the Juniors-Senior Big Apple Christmas Dance given to us by the lun- iors at the Country Club. As we reached the last milestone there were thirty one of us. Class Day and Graduation night are two of the things that will stand out in our memory, and even though there are many things to re- member, the most important is our Alma Mater and the things for which it stands. 1'And when honor, fame, and fortune ln our pathways lie. Back our hearts shall turn to praise you, Dear South Senior High. SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL

IANUARY CLASS PROPHECY Posey Lee Snow, Prophet This morning A- pril 12, 1948, dawn- ed bright and clear, quite contrary to the report of the great weatheroligist I, T. Hinshaw, who said it would be dark and cloudy. As l begin my morning perusal of the Daily Blab which is owned and and edited by Paul Ledbetter, I see that a great motion pic- ture star has had a terrific fight over the hand of a little lady, Miss Ruth Barring- ton, who has made such a sensational hit on Broadway. The actor, Bennett Noell, is temporarily residing at the city jail as a result of his fistic ability. The society page next claims my at- tention. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Shore, jr. have just returned to their home after spending the winter in Florida. Their house guests include such prominent so- cialities as the distinguished artist, Mr. Alton Blair, whose portraits are attract' ing such universal interest: Messrs. Troy and Coy Robinson who own the T. E3 Q. law firm QMiss Potter gave them tlfeir lirst lesson in lawl: Alva Pendergrass, the great sculptor, who got his start by carving Shakespeare, for Nliss Mozelle Stephenson, and Mrs. Pope, formerly Eu- nice Spach, are also present. Mrs. Shore, former Alma Mae Holden, explained that Mr. Alton Blair and all the rest of her guests were graduates from South High School in january 1938. Miss Audrey lack james who is now teaching girls to play football is also a guest of the Shores. With her is Fran- ces Holder and Launa Parson, who are assisting her in this remarkable under- taking . Miss Carrie Donnell, the woman who has done so much to improve the meth- ods used in high schools, is also a guest for the week-end. ., .v ifdi lf 'T-ll!- 'H1 Ah. Page one hundred ss-xenry I The premier orchestra of the land has been engaged for this party. M. Ha1l's Swingroos have just succeeded Benny Goodmans Orchestra on the Camel Car- avan and are playing this special engage- ment before going on the network. ln Mr. Halls Orchestra I see several old South Highites. Among them are Ed Miller, who is pumping the old bass horn. Posey Snow is swinging on the saxophone and clarinet. The feminine vocalist with Hall's Swingroos is Louise Heath, whose golden voice has been fill- ing the feminine hearts throb just as he vocalist, Roy Bovender, who is still mak- ing the feminine hearts throb just as he did in his high school days. Mr. T. M. Foster, the mental marvel, gave an example of his amazing powers in alegebra and mental reckoning as en- tertainment for the guests. Miss Margaret Cook, who is now head of one of New Yorks leading Li- braries, was also a guest for this gala occasion. The sports pages have some very in- teresting features on it this morning. Frank Saylor who was on the All-Ameri- can football team in 1941 and '42 has ac- cepted the post of head coach at Caro- lina. He will probably select as his as- sislant, Ed McMillan, who was also on All-American and professional player in '41, '42 and '44, Kermit Welborn is wrestling tonight at Niadison Square Garden. He is the largest man in the esquared circle today. l also see that Curtis Speedy Spach will try for his fifth national champion- ship at the Indianapolis Speedway today. As usual, his mechanic and relief driver will be Harry lVloore. Wake Forrest College is in high hopes of a more successful season this year in both football and basketball since they have obtained the services of L. C. jen- kins and Hilton Southern.
