CLASS POEM

We hold our standards high as forward we tread

And try to lead ourselves and others gallantly ahead;

We’ll face our future bravely, for experiences we have shared

Have helped us wondrously to “Be Prepared”.

We can’t forget our motto, nor the golden rule

Which we have been taught all the way through school;

As we now leave this place we love and adore,

We hope that success finally will come to each one’s door.

To teachers, friends, our school, farewell!

How proud we are of you we ne’er can tell;

Our school we shall continue to praise

And boost and cherish all our days.

—Oline Sloop

CLASS HISTORY To the average reader, no doubt the year ’32 is not an outstanding date, but to the senior

class of ’36 it is indeed important for in the early fall of ’32 we began our high school career.

Our class advisors were Miss Breeden, Miss Fleming and Mr. Warlick. Our class president

was C. D. Barringer. Although many pranks were pulled we did not stay dumb very long. Our

enrollment was nearly 100.

The summer months following our first year in high school were unusually long, for we

were anxious to return to school and begin the second year of our journey. This was a year

of much joy and happiness to us. We chose again as our class president C. D. Barringer. Our

advisors were Miss Bernhardt and Miss Mackie. During the latter part of that year we were

hosts to the seniors at a theatre party, the feature being “Little Women”.

Our junior year passed very rapidly. The nickname “jolly juniors” indeed fitted us. We

worked hard and long for this was a year of importance. The halloween carnival which was

sponsored by the junior class was a huge success. Our class president was Herman Cauble

and our advisors were Miss Gayman and Miss Barrow. The junior-senior banquet was an event

that we can never forget. We had much fun planning for this banquet, and the seniors as¬

sured us of its success.

This year, our last year of a long but enjoyable journey has seemed maybe a bit long'. We

have had our ups and downs and have overcome many obstacles but we have worked to¬

gether toward our goal. Our capable president for this year was Herman Cauble. Our effici¬

ent advisors were Miss Neely and Miss Fleming.

Another enjoyable event of the year was an evening spent in fun and frolic with our mas¬

cots as host and hostess. Games were played and contests were held. Later during the even¬

ing refreshments were served.

The sophomore class took us to the theatre to see “Captain January” . This was a pleas¬

ure to each of us.

One of the high lights of our senior year was the junior-senior banquet held at the Yadkin

Hotel, Salisbury, N. C. The theme for the evening was “Pleasure Island”. The decorations

were very appropiate. Delightful music was enjoyed throughout the evening. The entire pro¬

gram was linked with the theme. Our trip to Pleasure Island was enjoyed immensely.

We feel that in this class of ’36 we have many valuable members who in the future years

will be of much service to the world.

Our journey is not completed. These four years have only been an opening to us of the

knowledge to be gained as we go forward into the march of life. We are glad for these years

in high school they have taught us many lessons, we have had some experiences which we

will never forget and as the day for closing the door on our four year journey, and the open¬

ing up the door of the future approaches, we perhaps are a bit sad but with the knowledge we

have attained in high school we feel that by using our class motto, “Be prepared”, we can

overcome all obstacles that come before us. —Alyce Clawson

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Our graduation exercises were over, and I was enjoying an extended vacation in Florida.

On my last day at the beach before my departure home, an amusing incident happened. Total¬ ly absorbed in my own thoughts, I was strolling along the edge of the water when I heard a familar “Hello”. I quickly glanced up and was startled beyond expression to find myself standing face to face with my old friend and classmate, Herman Cauble.

After the usual exchange of greetings and questions, I told Herman that I had a very amus¬ ing story to tell him. Of course he was surprised and anxious for me to begin when I told him that it concerned our senior class of ’36. When I asked if he had visited the famous gypsy fortune teller on the island, he replied that he had not. Herman insisted that I tell him the in¬ teresting story. I could see that he was really in earnest about desiring to hear it; so I sug¬ gested that we sit down as the tale was rather long. Then I began, and here is the story which I related to Herman:

I entered the satin-lined tent of the old gypsy and she inquired as to what I wished to know. Instantly I thought of my classmates.

“I can show you your classmates exactly as they will be found twelve years from now if you will promise me two things”, she said. “They are these: Keep your mind on your class¬ mates only and do not make another request until I have finished”.

Then she told me to look into a black instrument somewhat similar to a telescope. I did and saw what appeared to be another darkened room. She began to talk, and I saw vividly the scenes she painted.

“I see your friend, Alliene Bostian, as a successful opera star. Her voice is delighting millions”.

“On a prominent Brooklyn street is a large theatre famous for its wonderful stage shows. Arthur Bradshaw is owner of the building. He is also one of the country’s foremost comedi¬ ans. His latest stage ‘find’ is Oscar Dulin. Oscar’s favorite has been put to music. This num¬ ber, called ‘Honey Hush’ is one of the most celebrated of its time”.

“Gertie Mae Carter is proprietor of one of Chicago’s most famous beauty salons”. “I see Herman Cauble as a great radio artist whose favorite pastime is managing his music

studio in N. Y. His assistants there are Jennings Trexler and Haskell Curran. These men are now producing the nation’s greatest musical comedies.”

“At the China Grove High School, which is now one of the largest in N. C., Hessie Chap¬ man is dietician, while Mabel Corriher, Lida Sil liman and Harry Morrow all hold positions as teachers”.

“Alyce Clawson has changed her name to Wallace and is now head of a large department store in Los Angeles. She has also made a name for herself as a milliner”.

“Stanley Corriher is president of the national organization called The Beta Club. He also holds the position of mayor of Mt. Ulla”.

“There is a large and beautiful recreational park near Asheville, N. C., which is under the direction of its sole owner, Miss Mabel Jo Coggin. She has as her business manager Robert Reynolds. Robert is also a well-known N. C. lawyer”.

“John Cress is one of Rowan County’s leading farmers and is still breaking the hearts of the feminine members of the community”.

“Lilliam Cruse taught music at a famous school in Washington for a while, but has now given up a brilliant career in music to become the bride of a certain China Grove Hi graduate”.

“The column in the daily newspapers ‘Successful Romances’, now being welcomed by all ages is edited by Mrs. Deal—better known to you as Louise Cress. (Her advice should be well founded).”

“I see Helen Ross Cox as a famous aviatrix. She is planning a solo flight across the con¬ tinent. Some say that a certain senior of ’35 is hoping that she will give up her career—come down to earth and look after him.”

“Elizabeth Correll is now making a personal appearance tour of the West. Thousands of the westerners wonder at her remarkable beauty and ability as a tap dancer.”

“Raymond Deal has become the South’s champion jockey. He also owns a number of thorough-bred racers”.

20

“Sue Dunham is at present head waitress in the tea room of the famous Astor hotel in N Y. City.”

“The nursing profession has claimed Mary Virginia Honbarger. There is a rumor that her masculine patients enjoy their convalescences and sometimes extend their time in the sick wards”.

“Doris Jones has given up bookkeeping to take charge of a large kindergarten in Charlotte”. “Emily and Juanita Jordan are rapidly becoming famous for their wonderful gingerbread

men which they produce in their ’Ole Time Cookery’ located in China Grove”. “As a newspaper columnist, Mary Lowder is certainly a success. Her advice on ‘Genuine

Weight Corrections’ is aiding millions of women in their search for charm. “In Pinehurst, Jessie Koon is proprietor of a well-known nursery plantation.” “Albert Miller has recently been appointed president of a state-wide land improvement

association. He is now seeking a way to improve the western side of the China Grove High School campus.”

“I see R. D. Moose as a bus driver. His record with Greyhound lines for the past eight years has been a perfect one so far as accidents are concerned.”

“Cecil Mull still retains his desire to be a farmer. He is now managing his own three farms and making quite a success of the job.”

“The motor-cycle dirt track championship was recently won by Ross Owensby. In spite of his last smash-up on the track he is still able to sing bass for the ‘quivering quartet’.”

“The beauty salon in China Grove called ‘The Flawless’, is owned and operated by a certain Mrs. Safrit, formerly Riley Park. Courtesy and perfect service have helped to make Riley’s place popular”.

“Alliene Roberts has crashed Hollywood and has taken the place of Mae West, except for her hair. Alliene insists that as her charm captivated the hearts of China Grove’s masculine specimen so it will others”.

“Geneva Sloop is at present supervising the interior decoration of the new dormitories at China Grove High.”

“Two well-known and beautifully decorated buildings on Fifth Avenue, N. Y., patronized by the city’s society belles, are owned by Oline Sloop. One is a sports wear shop for women and the other a ladies’ recreational center.”

“Louise Smith is filling her second two-year contract with United Airlines as hostess on the famous ‘Lady Fair’. Louise makes traveling by air pleasant for everyone.”

“Paul Smith’s days as an athlete at China Grove Hi were not altogether in vain. He is now head football and baseball coach at Cornell University.”

“Ruby Trexler is operating a tourist home in Charleston, S. C.” The gypsy paused and for some unknown reason glanced at me very intently. I sat still

and proceeded to look into the telescopic instrument. Then she began again; but as she did so, my mind seemed to stray from our discussion. She

said slowly, “Margaret Yost is now owner of a' large dress shop in Kannapolis”.

The gypsy stared at me as I, apparantly unaware of what she was saying, glanced casually around the room. But I was brought back to the discussion by the mention of a familar name. She drawled on, “Marshall Washam was gradated with honors at Duke University where he was a three-letter man in athletics for four years. Marshall is now coaching football at this

same university.” Suddenly I realized what I had been thinking while my mind had been wandering. My

own future! I had forgotten the promise I made at the beginning and exclaimed, "Oh, please tell me my

own future.” As I said this, I jumped up and dropped the instrument into which I had been gazing. It fell shattering to the floor. The gypsy said to me none too pleasantly, “Didn t I tell you to keep your mind only on your classmates and not to make another request?

There was no use pleading with her for my own prophecy. As I turned and started from the room she called in a sarcastic tone, “Your own future will be revealed to you day by day .

This ended my story. HermaP and I laughed about the unusual facts displayed in it. It is just a story gathered from a gypsy tepee, but perhaps there’s some truth in it anyway.

Here’s hoping! —Ruth Smith

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1936, now finishing our high school life of toil, hardship, and pleasures at

the China Grove High School, are ready to distribute our most treasured possessions.

To our parents and those who have made it possible for our training here, we give our un¬

dying love and gratitude.

To our principal, Mr. Shearouse, we leave our sincere thanks and appreciation for his

tireless efforts in our behalf, and for his help and advice.

To our faculty we give our sincere appreciation for all they have done for us and—

To Mr. Shearouse we will a more polite and orderly student body.

To Miss Neely we will two dozen noiseless typewriters and a few brilliant commercial

students.

They were trying Mr. Bostian for a petty offense, when the judge asked:

“Have you anyone in court who will vouch for your good character?”

“Why yais, your Honor,” quickly replied Mr. Bostian; “there’s the sheriff, there.”

The sheriff evinced signs of great amazement. “Why, your Honor, I don’t even know the man.”

“Observe, your Honor,” said Mr. Bostian triumphantly, “observe that I’ve lived in

this county for-years and the sheriff doesn’t know me! Isn’t that a character

to comply with the most trivial wishes of his patrons. In this organization we make

Arthur Bradshaw: “You know, I came face to face once with a lion and I didn’t

have a knife, gun or anything.”

Eleanor Lewis: “What did you do?”

Arthur: “I looked him right in the eye, and he got ready to spring.”

Eleanor: “My goodness, what did you do then?”

Arthur: “I walked on to the next cage and looked at the monkeys.”

Marius Goodnight: “Yes, ma’am. I think I understand perfectly. You want them large inside and small outside.”

Bob Reynolds was teaching Miss Mc- Corkle to drive a car. “Of course,” she said, “I could never change a tire myself. Why, I can’t even lift one. You know they have 80 pounds of air in them in addition to the weight of the tire!”
