HANES HIGH IUNE CLASS HISTORY Pauline Coleman, Historian It was in the fall of 1935 that the Mamas Darling troupe of the City High Schools decided to appear for four consecutive years of performance at North junior High School. tThe name was changed in I937 to john W. Hanes.j We had the ambition and desire to give a good performance. In our freshman year the adviser who helped the members of the troupe perfect their acts was Miss Nicholson. With the help and understanding of Miss Nicholson, we began to see the light. We got through the freshman year with a success- ful production, although some of the troupe dropped out and new ones came in. The second year of our run, Mr. R. F. johnston and Miss Alma Woodmore helped us over the rough spots. We had some dreary, rainy days but' we kept up our appearance as best we could. We began to settle down and really give a worth-while perform- ance, one that would gain us the vision of our junior year. During our junior year, we had many trials and tribulations and the road was slippery, but Miss raqgrfsf-7 Maude Hale helped make the journey easy. By this time many were well known for their features and had received certificates of reward. Some had almost reached their goal, while others had fallen out in utter despair. The junior-Senior which was held December 20, 1937 at the Robert E. Lee Hotel will be remem- bered as the most important scene of our junior year. We came to the last year of our performanceg some had become a finished product in their act, while others were where they started. Miss Nicholson and Miss Dungan helped us make the final curtain. The leading characters in the fourth act of our high school drama were Robert Hampton--President of the troupe, Hilda Futrell-Vice President, Mallie Mae Bennett -Secretary, Nancy Lee Hanes-Treasurer. Our con- tract had expired, and some had theirs renewed for a half year. When we came to the end, forty five of us had successfully played our parts throughout the four years. Class Day and Graduation will long be treasured among our many memories, and we will always remember our motto: Give to the world the best, and the best will come back to you. That's what we tried to do at john W. Hanes High School. A- 1' -.5lilIn1B!

HANES HIGH IANUARY CLASS WILL We, the Ianuary graduating class of the Iohn W. Hanes High School, small in number, but mighty in minds, do hereby make known to those interested, our last will and testament. Article I Section I: We hope Mr. Haltiwanger, our beloved principal who has given us many of his famous talks, will forgive us for trying to listen to them with our eyes closed. We leave him an alarm clock to prevent those who come after us from doing likewise. Section II: To Miss Dungan, who has been our faithful task-mistress, we leave the sole possession of all honors and proud memories accidentally made by the Ianuary class of '39. Section III: To the faculty, who long ago gave up trying to reform us, we bequeath our very earnest appreciation for the efforts they have put forth in our behalf. Section IV: To Mr. Pratt, our esteemed band lead- er, we leave the well-known Fats Morgan and his Iazz band, so that they will be able to give him the latest dope on swing , Section V: To the oncoming Seniors, the Ianuary graduating class leaves its positions, with the hope that they will be able to fill them. By special request, we exclude Margie Mashburn. Article II Section I: Rassie Mae Holcomb leaves to Rachel Berry her ability to catch the boys. We hope Rachel will use it to a good advantage! Section II: To Mr. Iohnston, Leon Goforth leaves his superior handwriting. Perhaps Mr. lohnston will be able now to read what he writes. Section III: To Margie Fulp, Una White leaves an extra foot of her height, for which Margie has been pleading. Section IV: Lucile Edwards bequeaths her smile to Pauline Coleman, who is sadly in need of one. Section V: To anyone who feels the need of them, Margie Mashburn gracefully leaves a few extra pounds of weight. Section VI: Gray Shermer leaves all the extra courses that he didn't take to Leo Hutcherson with the hope that he will make good use of them before married life sets in. Section VII: To Hazel Futrell, Margaret Knott bequeaths her speaking ability. Now perhaps Hazel will be able to say what she means. Article III Section I: We do hereby appoint as sole executor of this, our Last Will and Testament, Miss Maude Hale, she being the last word in Law. We hope there will be no disputes, arguments, or alterations. In witness, whereas we, the Ianuary graduating class of 1939, do hereunto set our hand and seal this, the twenty-seventh day of Ianuary, in the year of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine.
