IANUARY CLASS HISTORY 4.,4,, . Robert Shelton, Historian The long looked for event has at last arrived, and as yet we can hardly real- ize it. ln the year 1934, just four years ago, when we, as wide-eyed, bewildered freshmen entered these portals of learn- ing, the years that lay ahead of us till our graduation loomed far in the distant future. Now that we are looking back- ward instead of forward, these years seem all too brief. ln 1934, one hundred and forty green, young freshmen were initiated into high school life and struggled through the freshman year, which now seems to us the hardest of our school life. But with the help of Miss Heilig, our sponsor, and Albert Wilson, our representative in the Council, we finally pulled through the hardships of the first year, and stepped lively into the sophomore life. With Bill Cofer as president and Mrs. Reich as sponsor, we gradually assumed our places in school life. By our second year we had forgotten most of the bash- fulness that was characteristic of our freshman year. Betty Reynolds was elected president of the Girl Reserves and Helen Lewis was our star in athle- tics. Gwen Morris and Iohn Bryant were the class's outstanding musicians. Albert Wilson again represented us in the Council. Time marches on: therefore by lan- uary, 1936, we had developed into jun- iors. Age was telling on us and we felt very old and wise. ln this year we be- gan to feel it our duty to give advice freely to the younger people of our Page thirty-six school. We also realized that life was passing by and all work and no play makes lack a dull boy. With Albert Wilson as president and Mrs. Reich as sponsor, we passed one of our happiest years. We laid away our childish games with our childish clothes. The boys donned long pants. combed their hair, and began to slip notes to the girls whom they had thrown spit balls at and teased in various ways the years before. The social activities were climaxed by the long looked for Iunior-Senior dance at the Country Club. This dance made us realize that the curriculum of our high school will not be complete until a course in training the adolescent feet is made compulsory. It would be hard for anyone to ana- lyze the mixed emotions of a senior: the joy of achievement, the sorrow of part- ing from classmates and teachers, and the anticipation of a richer, fuller life ahead. The honor of being senior presi- dent was bestowed upon Rose Lefko- witz, and Council members were Richard Bean and Robert Shelton. To Margaret Moran fell the honor of being elected into the National Honor Society. Thus it was year by year, rung by rung, our members decreased until now fifty out of the one hundred forty who started out in 19311 have reached the top of the ladder on which we stand before you now. This is but a brief history of the class of Ianuary, 1938. Our future nows lies in the hands of fate and our class prophet, Betty Reynolds. REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL

IANUARY CLASS PROPHECY Betty Reynolds Prophet Having for some time been interested in mental telepathy, I was more than pleased to have a telegram from Doctor Margaret Moran saying that she would stop over for a brief visit with Doctor Iuanita Hutchins and me on her way to Atlanta. Juanita has just hung out a shingle inviting doting mothers to bring their precocious children for a brain ex' amination. Sitting by the fire on her first evening, Dr. Moran told unbelievable stories of communications she had experienced in recent months. The most interesting one was that of contact with a college friend through a picture. Her story sounded reasonable when she told it. Suddenly I had a brilliant ideal Why not try your pet theory and find out what has become of our class- mates? It can be done by concentrating on their pictures-if there's anything in this scheme of yours, was my some- what sarcastic remark. Then I hunted up the old Black and Gold of 1938- somewhat worn and looking all of its twelve years. Without hesitation Doctor Moran turned to Mary Allred's picture and gazed steadily at it. She looked up at us and said, Don't hurry me and don't speak. For a full three minutes she looked at lVIary's face. I see Mary Allred as an already re- cognized poet. She has won the Thomas Hauser Literary prize with a book of her poems. She shifted her gaze to another picture. Charles Orrell is a struggling writer in New York City and has a small apartment with Tom Williamson, who is soda dispenser at a nearby drug- store. Her voice settled into a sort of monotone, Helen Lewis is a star report- Pagc thirty-eight 1 er for the Iournal and Sentinel, published by Ioe Minor with Bill Killian as as- sociate editor. Robert Shelton of Oxford University has just completed his new science study book, The Origin of Mon- keys, a subject on which he is an author- ity. Iuanita and I looked at each other and at the clock. The Doctor had been con- centrating for twenty minutes and seemed to have isolated herself from the living room and to be looking at far away scenes. Lloyd Disher is coaching the track team at his Alma Mater, and Gwendolyn Morris, with the aid of Nena Mae Hicks, has created quite a sensation by' starting organized football for girls. Dallas Cline is manager of a semi-pro baseball club in N. C., and catching for him is Iohn Craf- ford. Fuller Kearns is mentor for the Red Sox. With this statement she looked up, drew a deep breath. and smiled. Well, our classmates certainly aren't turning out as I expected, but one can't control the Fates. Take Tom Holcombe, for instance. She turned back to the book. He was the most intellectual boy in our class, and I see him now-yes, the picture's coming back-coach of an unknown football team in Alabama. She turned another page and was again in that far away world. Rose Lefkowitz is buyer for Sosnik's in Win- ston, and Ethel Cohen is her assistant. Howard Chambers is leading the Ameri- can Legion band in the home town, and Carlton Byrd is teaching the fourth di- mension in old R. R. Allen Carroll and Albert Frye are Fuller Brush sales- men and make their headquarters in Ra- leigh, N C., where Maxwell Davis is tContinued on page 208l REYNOLDS HIGH SCHOOL
