MissL.ambe, a native of Jamestown,
took a business course while working as
forelady for the High Point Pants Com
pany. Upon completion of her course
in 1908, Claudia was employed in the
office of the High Point Hosiery Mill
as the only general office worker. High
Point Hosiery Mill was merged with
other interests to form Adams - Millis
Corporation in 1928. After about one
month of general office work. Miss Clau
dia was placed in the order department,
the position she held until her retire
ment.
An ardent baseball fan. Miss Lambe
rarely missed a Hi-Toms home game.
She was the first to purchase her season
ticket each year. Many in the office said
you never had to read the papers in the
morning to see how the Hi-Toms came
out the previous night. . . you just looked
for the expression on Miss Lambe's face
when she came to work.
A constant companion of Claudia is
her non-pedigreed cat, Rassie. Rassie
adopted Claudia about three years ago
and found a welcome home.
Upon her retirement. Miss Lambe
was presented a television set by the
office employees.
Advised to relax and take life easy
after a brief hospitalization, she still is
able to attend Hi-Toms games I
