Stage door--Iungle stroll-Simple and sweet REYNOLDS HIGH IANUARY CLASS WILL As we, the class of Ianuary, 1939, are graduating in the midst of after Christmas bustle and have still that spirit of generosity that always accompanies this cheerful season, we feel it to be a fitting time to be- queath some prosperity to the new year, We do hereby accept our sheepskins, and in return bestow in this, our last will and testament, all the in- disputable qualities and possessions which we have so gracefully acquired at good old R. R. Article I Section I: We leave to Reynolds High School, the fame, the power and the honors that we shall accumu- late in the years to come, add to her fame and power forever. Section II: To the throngs of weary classmates that we leave behind, lost in the wilderness of Macbeth, we grant our sincerest sympathies. Section III: To those few swimmers in the student body who can't even stay afloat, we leave a life boat which is anchored just outside the publications office. Section IV: To our teachers we humbly give thanks, and to our principal, Mr. Ioyner, We bequeath sincer- est gratitude. Section V: To Miss Doris Voss and the girls in the ofhce we voice a request for a special favor: turn the office clock back 10 minutes in order that our fellow- men may be on time. Section VI: For the dietitian we pray that the new year will be bright with hungry stomachs and hearty appetites. Section VII: To the librarians, Misses Flynn and Nicholson, we leave boundless appreciation for their patient aid in library work. 11025 Article II -Section I: Dick Maynor, one of the supports of the gridiron, leaves his fighting spirits and tiger claws to any of those self-confident boys who hope to make the team. Section II: Paul Davis, the shining star in a history class discussion, wishes to bestow the remainder of his timely talents on the square shoulders of George Barbee.

Section IV: Martha Fant leaves the practice of her flirtations with Marie Kimball and her three associates, better known as the R. R. threesome. Mary Lou Blanton, Virginia Hutchinson, and Margaret Austin. Martha stresses the fact that her practice is quite large and she feels that it will take all four pairs of these inexperienced hands to handle it efficiently.

We do hereby appoint our principal and friend, Mr. C. R. Ioyner, sole executor of this our last will and testament.

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
