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!

'swims 2 -nit lust one thing and another. HANES HIGH IUNE CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of Iohn W. Hanes High School, do bequeath, as sanely as possible after hav- ing had knowledge bored into our noggins for four years, our stupendous talents and our most treasured features, if we have any, to the incoming senior Class and to the faculty. Article I Section I: To Mr. Haltiwanger and the faculty we extend our sincerest appreciation for the kind efforts shown us during our high school years, even though they probably did no good. Section II: To Miss Dungan, our ever patient teach- er, we sadly submit our understanding of the Tragedy of Macbeth to pass on to the incoming Senior Class. May someone pity them! Section III: To Miss Carter we give our worn-out Senior athletes. We hope Miss Carter will use them for a better team in the future. Article II Section I: To Baine Gabriel, R. T.
