Prophecy (Continued from page eleven) engineering friends were coming along, he replied that Randy Middleton had com pleted civil engineering at Roanoke and is now employed by the State of Virginia. Jack Smith and Hartwell Graham are now working for DuPont, in the ceramic and general departments, respectively, while Kemp Barden, electrical engineer, and "William Lassiter, power brake engi neer, are both employed by General Mo tors, Inc. But I had to tell Hawley good bye, because I wanted to see “old Golds boro,” or the part which was familiar to me, so T found my way out of the build ing and got to the main drag with the aid of Officer Douglas McDonald, who was telephoning to Police Chief Ben Daniels, and holding up a telephone pole that was holding up Bob Morgan, traveling sales man, and Ed Little, refrigerator repair man. I bought an evening paper full of news about Homer Ball’s latest masterpiece on canvas, Eddie Jackson’s explorations in a IT. S. K'a%'y submarine, and Aileen Her ring’s success at the Westminster Choir School. Also I saw Wayman Montague, machinist, walking down the street with W. E. Branch, top-notch mechanic, and I met Marion Brown, cabinet maker, and Cleveland Wiggins, woodworker, right in front of Roscum Byrum’s meat market. But all good things must come to an end, so I got in a taxi, and who should bo looking through the steering wheel but Gabe Holmes, Jr. Honestly, the way he rushed me toward the airport to catch the Florida Express put Cozart and his “Rob” special in the shade. All-American Athletes As we passed the ball park I noticed a mighty large crowd, which, Gabe in formed me, was due to the fact that two big-league teams were fighting it out in an exhibition game. I looked in my paper on the sports page, and saw the names of Sidney Gordon, Arlow Triplett, Arthur Stafford, and Jimmie Dillworth in the lineup of the Yankees, and I immediately placed a bet on the other side. But I looked toward the park again and I saw more dust than the whole American League could raise, and I learned from an adver tising poster that Troy Hooks was giving a “Lucky Teter” exhibition on a motor cycle. This was too much, so I asked Gabe to hurry up if it was possible. So I paid him at the airport, and said goodby to Goldsboro, wondering how the class of ’39 had come to be running everything. Twelve History (Continued from page two) Lillie Burns, treasurer; and Berta Parks, who was cheer leader for the second con secutive year. Our number had by then decreased to only 164 members. Carolyn Langston took over the duties of editor of the Hi Yews and Addison Hawley those of managing editor; Evelyn Dillon and Grace Hollings worth, managing editors; Mary Best, busi ness manager; and Mary Frances Barnes and Dot Turlington, circulation manag ers. Others on the staff were Edith Jones, Frances Yelverton, Hartwell Graham, and Billy McClure. At the Student Congress meeting in Kannapolis, we were represented by Sid ney Gordon, James Kannon, and Jimmy Hampton, who went officially. Those go ing unofficially were Grace Hollingswortb, Legh Scott, and Francis Joyner. Initiative began to appear when a group of seniors formed the Senijr Dramatic Club and, under the skillful direction of Miss Fowler Spencer, produced the play, “Keep Smiling.” The cast was headed by Willie Boykin, who portrayed the part of John Hornsby; Ruth Hinson, who was the Dona Catalina; Frances Yelverton, Lolita; and Jimmy Hampton, Bill Chan dler. Others who were in it and their parts arc as follows: James Kannon, Don Jose Martinez; Rosette Farfour, Adela; Virginia Parrish, Senora Delores; Margie Wooten, Louise Sayre; Maylon MacDonald, Jack Wilkins; Dot Creech, Manualita; Edith Jones, Lois Sayre; Marvin Daughtry, Bill Sayre; Mat Bal lard, Padre Fernando; Louise Kannon, Rufina; Forrest Simmons, Lieutenant Paxton; Mary Daniels, Manuel a; and Ernest Glisson, Mateo Garcia. The play proved to be an unusual success and netted the class a considerable sum of money. All the senior classrooms worked hard on the sale of tickets, and each person did his part. When President Roosevelt spoke in Woolen Gymnasium in Chapel Hill on December 5, 1938, delegates from GTFS were James Kannon, president of the class, and Carolyn Langston, editor of the Hi Yews. In our final year we had a number who participated in sports. There were five senior girls on the basketball team: Mar jorie Sutton, Ann Johnson, Virginia Par rish, Doris Flowers, and Margie Wooten, with the, latter as captain. A senior, J. R. Yickens, led the boys’ basketball team, and three others, Gorman Lawrence, Glen Johnson and Wilton Hollowell, were mem bers. The football team captured seven seniors, and swimming took four. Those on the football team were: Willie Boykin, Ernest Burton, Marvin Daughtry, James Kannon, Glen Johnson, Maylon MacDon ald, and Billy Powell. The swimmers were Tinker Heyward, Randy Middleton, Ed Shumate, and Lewis Tilghinan. We had ten boys on the junior football squad: Charles Liles, J. R. Yickens, Billy Hood, Hayward Privettc, Addison Hawley, John Watson, Jack Smith, Gorman Lawrence, Tinker Heyward, and Legh Scott. In track Francis Joyner and Jimmy Dillworth wore co-captains and J. C. Smith, R. T. Cozart, and Kemp Barden were on the track team. In baseball we had 14 seniors : Glen Johnson, Clarence Grudger, Gorman Lawrence, Arlow Triplett, J. R. Yickens, Earl Montague, Rudolph Pate, Sidney Gordon, Billy Hood, T. L. Ginn, Richard Ball, A. K. Robinson, James Howell and Ernest Burton. In February Willie Boykin was elected the most representative boy in GIIS. One of the largest and most successful events of our senior year was our Senior Banquet. Wo had a very interesting and delightful program and most of our class was present to enjoy the fun that centered around the Valentine theme. Two seniors—J. R. Yickens and Arlow Triplett—participated in the LlO-jiiccc Y. C. High School Band, which played in Raleigh at the State Teachers Meeting on March 17. On the Y. C. State High School ex aminations seven seniors scored over a hundred. They were Jimmy Hampton, Margaret Bryan, Dot Creech, Hugh Dortch, Olivia Ferguson, Legh Scott, and Frances Yelverton. One of the bigger events and one looked forward to by every one was tbe tapping of now members into the Yational Honor Society. On May 5, eight seniors re ceived this significant honor. They were : Frances O’Stecn, Legh Scott, Evelyn Dillon, Evelyn Colie, Willie Boykin, Dot Creech, Jimmie Hampton and Marjorie Stenhouse. On May 26 we bad our annual Senior Picnic at Camp Tuscarora. We left at 11:30, the girls taking the lunches and the boys the drinks. We all went swimming and although it rained later on, we enjoyed the outing, oven the rain seasoned sand wiches and the drijiping hair. With the end drawing near we started our class night program. Having written the play, we cast it and started rehearsals. Mid ups and downs the work progressed as “The Fantastic Farce” became a reality. Four long and valuable years we have spent here in this school. They are slowly drawing to a close. With a few more days we will be gone. May each of us find the door to success and may we succeed in opening it.
