We find that in our troubled hearts There is no fear but hope alone. We think of days that have long passed. We think of dreams we once held true To only find we’re free at last To only find we’re stronger too. We say farewell to classmates dear To Alma Mater give our thanks. And as we face life ' s ocean near, We know we ' ll cross to peaceful banks. Class History In the fall of 1936, a group of green and timid, but determined pupils entered V endell School. These children, little realizing it, had twelve busy but happy years before them. V!e might think of these years as rungs on the great Ladder of Education. Under the supervision of several careful watchers we victoriously fought the battle against ignorance, thus climbing from the first to the eighth rung. It was on this rung that we thought our knowledge had increased enough to become freshmen; we then started our first year of high school. Then onward we climbed to the eleventh rung. The highlight of this rung was our first banquet. Next came the last but most important rung. It was here that we got our first glimpse of the outside world. Our exciting trips to Washington, D. C. and Williamsburg, Va. will never be forgotten. Then, too, we have the wonderful Junior-Senior Banquet to remind us of that last rung. Needless to say, the climax of the climb came when we reached the top of the Ladder and received the reward, our diplomas. During the long climb we lost many members but gained a n ' omber of new friends. Our climb up the school Ladder of Education is over, but our learn- ing has just begun. We now realize that this climb is leading to a bigger and harder climb to the Ladder of fame and success. Ill . ■.■■■• ; -.• . : v: ., ' 4;.: f- ' - •-7 — . ..,. . . ■.

It also has become a tradition to predict the future of high school seniors. Because I have good eyes and a strong consti- tution I was made official crystal ball gazer. But really it wasn’t too bad. First I saw our class president, Bob Brame. We expected him to clean up politics and he partly lived up to expectations. He ' s janitor at the Vfcke County Courthouse. As the future glass clears from Brame ' s scrubbing we see Charles Blalock. He is a famous C. P. A. This stands for Certified Public Accountent or Central Prison Applicant. I ' m sorry I can ' t tell which. Then comes Dennis Carter. He is now an Instructor at Hard Bargain ' s Busi- ness College. He shows his students how to type 205 words a minute. And poor lames Cash works hard all week on his 2g acre farm only to lose all his earnings at the pool room on Saturday. Our class treasurer, Ted Creech, was so good at figures that he went to New York and made good with a modeling agency. Thomas Gresham sits at home on those long winter evenings on his farm and tells his children how he won the Garner game. He never tells his children about the other games I wonder why? Homer Horton is president of the bus line, One Hemisphere . His motto is (W’e guarantee safety and also pay funeral expenses) . For Herbert Henderson the crystal ball says There ' s a Ford in your future. We don ' t need a penny for the future machine to know what is in the car. You guessed it gals. Aaron Johnson is making a fortune in his Tiny Tot Shoe Store. His secret is to model the baby shoes on his own feet. I’ll probably go to Hades for that statement . After all this I need something to settle my stomach and I see I am at the right place. Charles Mason has worked his way up and is now running his own restaurant and night club. He tells us he is often visited by that great romeo of the screen, Wayne Mitchell. Wayne has become a cinema star because of his love tactics. Marvin Pearce owns a Wake Forest. He specializes in making people short. On the side he gives flngerwaves. Marvin Pleasant is one of the more prosperous farmers of his conmunity. - Ie $ i:- I- I ek 1 = 1 = |i i I I :Tr .

If any one wants to take a trip he can buy a ticket on the Norfolk South- ern from Hubert Pittman. He is also secretary of the Wendell Building and Loan Association. If you are ever in New York, you can find Joe Bill Richardson ' s picture in Baseball ' s Hall of Fame. You may see him there admiring it if you go in a week with a Sunday in it. Willard Scarboro helps his daddy in Zebulon but does little work on the Saturdays that Duke plays football. Hey, Brame , wipe the dust off the crystal. I can not see. That ' s better and I see Elaine Byrd sweeping. Somebody got a good wife. We find that Margaret Clark spends all her time working at her job as president of the Bareback Mule Club. Martha Jane Cockrell takes time out from her leading roles with M. G. M. to write a book on Br idge Etiquette, y They tell me that wherever Janet Dean goes they have epidemics. It ' s strange P because they are all men. Maybe it ' s because she is a nurse. i June Liles is keeping books for the Secretary of the Treasurer now. What a P lucky bossl Kathryn Painter is seen every Saturday with the ' same man. But that ' s nothing unusual because they say she has one for every night in the week. P Virginia Painter is the leading hair dresser at the Paramount studios. One more attraction to Hollywood. Lavonda Phipps was voted the best homemaker in V endell at the last meeting of the Garden Club. 3 Jewel Richardson has a good job as secretary to the Governor of North ' S Carolina. Last but not least is Mattie Scarboro who we predict will go far in the P literary world. Well folks, there you are. Don ' t you tninK that is sometning to be proud of? If you don ' t, we do. Oh yes, about me, well I ' ll be in the State Hospital and who wouldn ' t be if they had seen some of the things that I saw and couldn ' t write about, This is your loving gypsy. gAVAYf I ' fTAWA WAWAy-- -y, - -; ' . ; : . j . .y y mrnr(M-W( mmr: r r ' l Lest Will and Testament Marvin Pleasant gives his agricultural talents to Daisy Wall hoping that We, the Senior Class of V endell High School, in the town of V endell, State of Worth Carolina, on this thirty-first day of May in the year one thousand nine hundred forty-eight, being of sound mind and generous disposition, and fully realizing that, as a elass, we shall exist no more, do hereby make and publish this our last will and testament; all other wills other than this to be consid- ered null and void. Joe Bill Richardson generously gives his 6 feet 11 inches to the shortest junior, little Eugene Hester. Wendell High School ' s number one honor student, Willard Scarboro, leaves his excellent grades to. Frederick Sherron who will probably need them in order to graduate. Marg?iret Clark leaves her boots and saddle for Fannie Mae Gay so that she can keep up the spirit of the old west in W. H. S. Martha Jane Cockrell bestows her quiet, unassuming manner upon Arie Ann Nowell who talks too much. ii Janet Dean, star guard on the basketball team, gives up her position to p Lucille Jones who would have probably gotten it anyway. p, June Liles, the prettiest girl, confers upon Barbara Ledford her title of prettiest girl. She certainly deserves it. Bob Brame pityingly turns his excess fat over to Walter Painter because he Ls sure Walter needs it more than he does. Charles Blalock is going to let Williaia Gresham take his place as idol of the local Bobby-soxers. Dennis Carter wants Billy Strickland to wear his hair in a crew cut as he has done all through high school. James Cash leaves to Edna Clark his red hair to use in case hers should fall out. Herbert Henderson concedes his position on first base to Joe Joseph if he doesn ' t get it this year anyway. Charles Mason leaves his engaging grin to Maxine Raybon with which she cap charm the teachers as he did. Wayne Mitchell leaves his good looks to Bobby Wilder because he will not need them at Catawba due to the current man-shortage. ir: ALT she will defy convention and become the first female live stock Judge in W. H. Homer Horton offers his seat in the senior class elections next year to Peggy Scarboro so that she can look after the country people so that they ;«on’t be run over, Thomas Gresham leaves to Kathryn Rodgers his typing skill. Ted Creech bequeaths his privilege to be late 1st and 5th periods to Doris Buchanan. Marvin Pearce wishes to distribute, evenly, his height among the boys who will go out for basketball from the junior class. Aaron Johnson took his feet off the desk long enough to will his office job to Shirley Flowers. Lavonda Phipps leaves her excellent taste in clothes to Betty Lou Robertson, Royce Richardson leaves his wicked jitterbug steps to Reca Richardson. Elaine Byrd reluctantly leaves her four year ' s collection of chewing gum under her first row desk as an educational exhibit for the juniors. We can ' t remember a day that Hubert Pittman didn ' t get an excuse to go home at last period. He wants Dolores Joseph to have his excuse. The Painter sisters, Kathryn and Virginia, leave their pleasant personal- ities to Betty Sue Baker with the hope that they will carry her far. Jewel Richardson leaves her dignity to Nannie Denton. Mattie Scarboro sadly leaves Keith Robert . .-Testator aves Keith Roberta, CLASS SONG Tune : How Soon Colors; Red and White Farewell to dear old Wendell High; Farewell, we hate to say goodbye.
