. x .29 Q' r if Iwi li if Q , 'Tis May, the month of royalty'-and romance- SOUTH HIGH IAN UARY CLASS PROPHECY Miriam Peeler, Prophet January 1940 New York I had boarded a plane in Florida to return to New York to my work after designing another dress for Estelle Welch, the most popular model of the year. During my trip, I met on board ship Doris Iacobs, who is the air hostess, and in the course of our con- versation, our graduation at South High ten years ago came up. Naturally I asked if she knew what had hap- pened to any of the people who graduated when we did. She said that after a long time-Marie Devine, Inez Ferris, and Mildred McGee were married. I also learned that the pilot of our plane was Billy Caffey, with Marguerite Walker as his assistant. On my return to New York, I saw Eugene Hutchins starring at the Capitol theater with Annie Lee Sprinkle in Paradise While trying to keep from being stepped on after the show, I ran into Mr. E1 Mrs. Clifton Dunnagan tour Louise Ervinl, the leaders of the social set in New York. She said that Monroe Caffey had a swell orchestra at the Waldorf As- toria Hotel, and that Don Simpson had made himself a great name as a lawyer, and had as his secretary Arlinda Pardue. Cn Park Avenue I bought a New York Times, and in big headlines was Elizabeth Crews, Worlds Most Famous Tap Dancer, Returns From Hollywood. On the professional page was Fostina Parsons pic- ture. She was to sing with the Metropolitan opera chorus on Friday night. F5565 The sports page held a big surprise. Bobby Clarke, the sports writer, had a grand write-up about the foot- ball team this year at Duke. Robert Davis had won another wrestling match, and Clifton Iaro is now the Demon of the speedway. In the mail I received a Winston-Salem Iournal and a page of the paper had been given to the grad- uates of South High ten years ago. Erma Ioyner, President of the P. T. A. at Forest Park School had made a talk to the present graduates of South High. Birchel Griflin had been made head nurse at the City Memorial Hospital, Ruby Hicks was the new owner of the Ideal, Dorothy Byrd is a teacher at South High, and Dorothy Leach is a well known hair dresser. Beulah Sink is librarian at South High. May Campbell is Dean of Women at Salem College, and Lawrence Williard is manager of the Winston-Salem Twins. lust the other day I saw a new pose of Bernice Clodfelter on the front of the Good Housekeeping Magazine. She has gone in for posing in a big way. I. W. Sharpe, President of the United States, is making a trip to Winston-Salem, and in his company is Ed Snider, the President's body guard. Elizabeth Williard has also gone in for politics. She eats, sleeps, and drinks them. W Last, but by no means least, we have our doctor. Ada Woods, famous skin specialist, is in Washington. The mid-term class of South High has done and is doing what their school would expect of them, and we shall all keep trying to make a success of our lives in the years to come.

The years that lay ahead of us till our grad- uation loomed far in the distant future. When upperclassmen began to notice us, it gave us a thrill that lasted. Progressively we came to look on the Freshman report card to find that algebra and civics would permit us to consider ourselves Sopho- mores. 1 Now, in our second year, we began to feel our im- portance fwhich was much to feeli in the organiza- tion. We were represented in most of the departments and began to feel that this, a part of the student organ- ization, was the place where we belonged. An astonishing change had been made when we be- came Iuniors, since we were neither childish freshmen nor foolish sophomores. The class was organized in the second semester with Raymond Wood as presi- dent: lack Brown, vice-president, Evelyn Shaver, sec- retary, and Virginia Darnelle, treasurer: with Mrs. Lavenia Fuller Robinson and Mr. Tom Wetmore as sponsors. With an organized class we left behind our shyness and awkward ways to become leaders in the organization. fy W f X . The most outstanding event of our Iunior year was the Iunior-Senior Dance given at the Country Club. We all have obvious memory of the fun that resulted from the hard work put into it. The last page of high school days was turned when the title dignified seniors, was bestowed upon us. Again Raymond Wood was elected president, be- cause of his leadership and service, to serve during our last yearg lack Brown was elected vice-president: Norma Allen, secretary, and Frances Elledge, treas- urer. ln the school election Ormel Walker was elected president of the student body and Evelyn Shaver, sec- retary, Norma Allen was elected as D. A. R. member to compete with the other two high school representa- tives for city award. Ormel Walker and Evelyn Shaver were elected as Mr. and Miss South High to represent the school on the division page of the BLACK AND GOLD. The second semester many of our class members undertook important organization jobs. Two of our class became officers of the student body: Raymond Wood, president: and Evelyn Shaver, secretary. Now that the last page has been turned, it is with regret that we leave our Alma Mater, but we rejoice that we have attained our goal. 1555 !

Wait and I'll see if I can identify them. Yes, there's Martha Gray Mickey, Marjorie Reavis, Alma Ray, Dorothy Holden, and Leake Masten. Leake is teaching English at Atkins High. What a surprise! Mary Clodfelter, three times di- vorcee, has entered the stands. She has returned from Reno where she married Albert Waggoner, Texas Ranch owner.
