Borrowed linery-Eight-thirty landmark. REYNOLDS HIGH IANUARY CLASS HISTORY Mary Frances Barnes, Historian Our Senior Class had its beginning in February, l935, when, as a small group of blank-expressioned boys and girls, we arrived at the Richard Reynolds High School. Here, in spite of the strict rules and reg- ulations which we had heard about, we hoped to at- tain what is desired by everyone in the walk of life, an education. We, as did the freshmen prior to us, occupied the peanut gallery in chapel, and also were often reminded by the upperclassmen of our radiator fee. Thus, our freshman year, composed of the usual bumps and knocks, passed slowly but surely under the competent supervision of our homeroom teacher, Miss Ruth Troutman. With the beginning of our sophomore year, we be- gan to realize that the road was difficult to trod, and that earnest effort was our greatest need for contin- uous advancement. With this thought in mind, we began to express ourselves without hesitation and our bewildered countenances took on new expressions. 'saqoogfc Our junior year found us becoming more and more essential to the school. Our earnest and capable offi- cers and our sincere determination to win, helped us to pass, with few difficulties, this part of our school career. Also during this period, our attendance at the junior-senior dance and numerous other parties and banquets, increased our social life in the school. When we eventually reached this, our senior year, we boasted of our privileges, but the question of where they are is yet to be settled. With Carr Smith and Paul Davis as our presidents, Iohn Harrington, our vice-president, Dick Maynor, secretary, and Mar- tha Fant, our treasurer, we have managed to come to the time of our graduation, along with the aid of our capable sponsor, Miss Annie Preston Heilig. Thus, with a heavy heart and minds brimful of knowledge, we bid farewell to our Alma Mater and prepare to fill our places in the world of tomorrow.

und. In the distance'- Her portals tall and wide - The Whispering Pines. REYNOLDS HIGH SENIOR POEMS METAMORPHOSIS THE WHISPERING PINES Evelyn Bolling, Ianuary Class Poet Marjorie Patterson, Iune Class Poet We stand at the turning point of life And slowly turn our headsg We view the past with wistful eyes, and Wonder where the years have fled. Four pages have been filled With mingled joy and grief: Four years that were so long, But now they seem so brief. Four gay and carefree years had we Without a thought of future daysz We gayly tripped down life's pathway Caring naught for blame or praise. One chapter of our lives is closed, To us these years have deeper meaningg We wonder how others can be gay and free, When a future world on us is leaning. We view the coming years with eager eyes, And long to see the future unfold: But though we are denied the eyes of seers, We are blessed with visions manifold. For we have youth and faith and hope, And we are equipped to fight the foe. Our privilege is to choose the road That will lead to riches or fame or woe. As we go on to other chapters in our life, We pray that God will guide our falterin And make our life clean-lived, well spent, g step, Climbing heights unattainable without His help. So when our final chapter is closed. And we go upward to our goal: We pause to tribute to our Helper, And ask His blessings upon our soul. Pine cones, clustered, rustic, Natures finest art Pine trees' woodsy fragrance Lifts the heavy heartf- Pine trees, straight and slender, Bending in the windy Pine groves make a haven For the weary mind. Pine boughs, graceful, arching, Form a temple dome Pine woods, sighing sadly Turn our thoughts to home- Pine needles, tiny spears Glisten in the rainy Pine trees whisper softly, Call us back again. Pine trees mark thee, Reynolds, Seem a part of thee- Pine trees, when we wander, Send us back to thee. 2995?

Schedule upset- Artist's model-- If I had the wings of an angel . REYNOLDS HIGH IANUARY CLASS PROPHECY Charles White, Prophet The persons who made it possible for me to trans- cribe this class prophecy of the Ianuary graduating seniors, 1939, were two very efficient instructors in our science department. Working in collaboration, they were able to produce an intricately ingenious ma- chine, which, for the want of a better name, they called the Futureoscope. The machine was assembled at our last class meet- ing and each student was given the privilege of a glimpse into futurity. Some declined, however, this unusual chance to look beyond the calendar. The students, after seeing that no bodily harm was to be inflicted by the machine, dedicated their time, and in quick succession saw their future un- folded before their eyes. Mary Frances Barnes, placing her hands on a ball of sensitive metal, became visible on a translucent screen. She beheld herself jubilantly beating around the mulberry bush as she left the White House. It seems that she had just received a substantial in- crease in salary as secretary to the President. Dick Maynor next stepped to the machine, and as he touched the delicate mechanism, he saw himself appearing on Broadway with amazing success in the theatrical production 'AThe Invisible Man , by H. G. Wells. Martha Fant saw that several years hence 'she was to be an author. Her most inspired work, How To Smile At Men and Get Away With It , was then being edited. It was revealed to Phyllis Pinkston that in the summer of 1960, she would sail to Europe to make an unrestricted study of her hobby, counting the bumps on the heads of various inmates in the Eng- lish bug-houses. Paul Davis found he was to employ his skill at the WSIS Radio Television Station, announcing the Saturday Morning Kiddie Show, the realization of an ambition sacred to him. Irene Canada, better known as Betting Irene, could be found at most of the well known racetracks. She claimed the notoriety of being the world's worst picker. According to the Futrueoscope , Thomas Boyles had the strangest profession yet known. He controlled the size of holes in doughnuts. If the holes were too large, doughnut stock dropped rapidlyg if too small, it was certain that the weight of his Pay envelope would decidely diminish. Cn the screen of this remarkable invention it was shown that in 1960, Charles Holder was in demand everywhere as an orchestra leader. He was paid weekly according to the enthusiasm of his fans. lean Bowles and Olga Cox had incorporated their efforts in the research work of feminine dietetics. The Cash and Cook Haberdashery Shop, a part- nership of Charles Cash and Reginald Cook, was unique in the fact that it could supply anything in masculine attire-even a brassless collar button. These boys were married and didnt have a care in the world. Lillian Allred and Lottie Chitty were preparing their rocket ship for another dash around the world in an attempt to better their previous time of three days and fourteen minutes. lohn Fry was pursuing happiness on the ocean floor looking for gold lost by sunken ships. Iohn had many prospects for a life-time partner, but he had bided his time and remained a satisfied bachelor. Iohn Harrington and Iohn Spainhour had become dictators of two very peaceful little countries in the QContinued to page 1455 ?x1015
