Section III Item I: To Conrad Shaver, Alton Blair leaves his art and knack of acquiring the admiration of those cute freshmen girls, Item II: Carrie Donnell and Frank Say- lor willingly leave their intelligence to Frances Harrold and Dilworth Yokley in hopes the latter may graduate from South some day.

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. They have fContinued on page 223j SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL
