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 Ill: Petite Phyllis Pinkston modestly leaves to Edna Sprunt her characteristic little laugh. 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. Section V: The versatile Evelyn Bolling has chosen as her successor Iackie Peddicord for her surpassing and unusual ability to make so many friends. We do hereby appoint our principal and friend, Mr. C. R. Ioyner, sole executor of this our last will and testament. In Witness Whereof, we do set our hand and seal, this, the twenty-seventh day of Ianuary, nineteen hun- dred and thirty-nine. Witnesses: Olga Cox, Testator fSealj Dagwood Tarzan L'il Abner

X MMM ,,,,,,..,s .ra .. 5.4 .cr hilt wi Glamour girls in the making-Iitterbug-The eternal triangle REYNULDS HIGH IUNE CLASS HISTCRY Marjorie Williams and Carlyle Manguni, Historians As the hour for the final graduation exercises ap- proaches. we who are seniors, realizing that our days in high school are about to be ended, begin to think over the many happy days we have Spent during our four years at Reynolds. Memories of the crowded events return to our minds, and as we reminisce, it seems that it was only yesterday that we entered high school as freshmen. Although our memory is quite vague as to many definite activities during our freshman year, how well we remember the first day when we misunderstood the room number and went all over the first floor hope- lessly searching for room 101. That year Bill Soyars was our representative to the council, while Mary Louise Rhodes drew the attention of the student body to the freshman class by winning the Fire Prevention Essay Contest. By our second year we began to think that we knew how to run the school. Bill East was chosen as the class president, with Carlyle Mangum as our council member. ln the spring of our sophomore year, B. R. Browder won the Rotary cup for declamation. As juniors we first showed our interest in the more important things of school life, and before long many of our group were gaining honorary recognition. For our class officers, we elected Bill Woodall president, Hunter McElrath, vice president: William Wommack, secretary, and jacqueline Peddicord, treasurer-all of '?x104s6? whom helped make our Iunior-Senior that year a big success. Being juniors, we had three representatives to the student council: Sara Bowen, who was secre- taryz Bahnson Gray: and Bill East. The spring term of our junior year brought many events. Nloyer Hendrix became the proud owner of the state singles tennis championship: while Mildred Helderman won the declamation contest for girls the second time. B. R. Browder went to Chapel Hill with the debating team where they went as far as the semi- finals. Looking back over our final year of high school, we are reluctant to talk of the days that will soon mean graduation for us. As seniors we added to the record we made in the past, both in scholarship and athletics. For officers we elected Moyer Hendrix, pres- ident: Kenneth Clay, vice-president: Thornton Rose, secretary: and William Woxiimack, treasurer. Our representation in the council was held by Carlyle Mangum, Bill Soyars, and Ted Borthwickg while Betty Yates was reelected for the fourth year to the House of Representatives where she is secretary. Leaders were not limited to these officers, but many others in sports, drarnatics, publications, and clubs have helped to make our school life more enjoyable. lt seems all a dream now as we look back over it, but in a few days the reality of graduation will be upon us when we will no longer be members of the Richard Reynolds High School.
