Our day is (lone, and our record stands closed. ■ But we, the Seniors, leave a message to you, tlie un derclassmen. "We are entering into life’s struggle and can never try to receive furtliei' foi^ida- tion of knowledge in old G. H. S.

You are our schoolmates. In high school you have four years of good training for future life. Are you using them to ad vantage ? Iveason it out for yourself. Does high school work bore you ? If it does, you must change your attitude, and change it (piickly. High school is a run way from which you take-off in to life. Here you gain your momentum in knowledge, your fuel in and)ition, and your mo tive power in initiative. The plane without momentum does not take-off—never leaves the ground! Do you ^\mnt to rise in the world ? Then gain your momentum. The plane which gives out of fuel falls. Most people do not realize that nothing could be worse than to know just enough to get by with —not enough to keep from fall ing into illiteracy. You are really prei)aring for a trip far more tiresome than the longest THE CLASS POEM The Past, Present, and Future The past, the past, the irrepar able past! AVe cannot erase or change it. It is made, it is complete, it is finished and done; We haven’t the power to re arrange it. There may be mistakes, and er rors, and wrongs; There may be sadness and tears; Yet it may be full of joyous memories Tliat will not be forgotten through the years. But the present is here; we can make it what we wish. And we have power for that. If just make the most of our time while we’re young, Not merely sit around and chat; If w^e study and listen and rea son and learn; If we open the door for op portunities ; We can make our lives some- tliing wortliwhile. Not merely commonplace failures. Tlie future seems bi-iglit and dazzling ahead; For each it holds infinite pleasures; To each it shows the rewards of work Handed out in double measures. —Emma Hall Baker^ , Class Foci.

First of all we must confess You’ve made us a great success; Of this there is at all no doubt. Ev’ryone of you, we know, has done your part, So now you can see why you are in our heart. First Chorus: We love Miss Beasley, We won’t debate it, AA'e’ve had her so much. No wonder that we hate it. We love Jim AAllson, He can not know it. We love him so much but we never did show it. Of course we love our teachers Much more than we can state. But not near as much as in the past Now that we graduate. We love our teachers. Can you conceive* it? ,AVe love our teachers. It’s a lie, so don’t believe it. Second Chorus: AVe love .Miss Kornegay, Parlez en Francais, - AVe love her so much, You be- lieA'e it if you may. AVe love IVIiss Gordner, And her ideal way AA^e love her so much, We might niissiher fOr a day. (But) AVe really love our teachers Lots more than we can say; Yet, when we leave our Alma Mater That’ll be a Perfect Day. AA"e love our teachers. Can you conceive it ? AVe love our teachers. And we hope that they believe it. —John Allen Stanley. CLASS HISTORY FAREWELL SONG (Tune: Perfect Day) AVe ha^"fe labored and worked for four long years And here at last we can see ^ the goal Y6t we look back through a veil of tears At failures and joys of old Can you take our hand and bid us a God Speed As on our way we go ? Our School has planted in us a seed, AAliich we hope will thrive* and grow. AVe have come to the end of a Perfect Day And the start of a life anew; Yet how much we owe—we ^ can’t repay To the school of the AVhite and Blue. {Continued on page four) AAliat is that I see in the dis tance? It is a little red and white Ford loaded down with the members of the class of ’31. And, what a wonderful bunch it has been! Little did they mind the first blow outs and flat tires in the algebra, science and Latin classes that were so strange to them, and were taught bj’ strange teachers. The first year in high school was si)ent in exploring, and in learning the routine. The only outside interest that we excelled in was baseball. The girls or ganized the first and only girls’ baseball team, which won the honors in inter-class baseball. AA^e were represented by Ezra Griffin at Chapel Hill in the Triangular Debates. As we stopped to get gas at the beginning of our sophomore year, we had no idea of the many new thrills and adventures that lay aliead. First of all our de bating team, composed of Ezra Griffin and Etta Mae Perkins, won the Gidden’s Debating Cup in the inter-class del)ates. The l)0,ys won the football champion ship in inter-class football. An other event of which we were proud was the original play Aaron Epstein and John Allen Stanley wrote and directed with the help of Ed McDowell, Billy Brown, Linwood Blackburn, and Ernest Eutsler. However, there was one flat tire on the road when we were deserted by Mr. T. T. Hamilton, Jr., but Mr, Wilson came along and helped patch it, and from then on it has been his job to patch all the tires. Gas again! Out rushed the juniors, dragging a full year of exciting adventures and honors. AA^hat fun it was to have many outside activities to accompany the hard work. Again we were represented at Chapel Hill by Ezra Griffin, and that year the debaters won the Aycock Me morial Cup. And a'gain Kve won the inter-class football championshix>, AVhile all at tention was turned toward school work, ]\Iiss Kornegay yelled out “Stop Thief,” and we immediately^ became interested in the Junior Play, but we did not allow the “Thief” to disclose the secret plans of our banquet. And what a: grand banc^uet it was! Always we sliall have it to look back upon. As we stopped at what we knew to be the last station to oil our engine, we were proud to see that our Ford was loaded mth the largest senior class that G. H ,S, has graduated and the first class to have four complete years in the new high school. The girls distinguished them selves by winning the inter-class basketball championship. For the third time Ezra Griffin, the president of the class, was en- CLASS PROPHECY (Continued on page four) Mr. John Lee Best, Jr. has been notified that l\e is the suc cessful candidate for the next competition at Wimbleton Ten nis Courts, England, provided he does not turn professional and accept compensation as an auto racer. Mr. Raj^mond Best, the well known scientist, was interviewed today. When asked whether he thought it would rain, he refused to make a statement until he had done some research work in Dr. Miles’ Almanac. Everyone should tune in his television set on Station WORK tonight at 9:15 when that ace of Radio announcers, the successor to the late Graham McNamee, INIr. Edward Denmark, will be master of ceremonies for a de Luxe program put on by The Leslie Farfour Reducing Salts Co. The well-known Crooning tenor, Mr. Cleveland Gardner, will give a number of selections with Mr. John Allen Stanley, the radio-taught success, at the Bald win. That talented Shakesper- ian team, Miss Elizabeth Smith and ]\Ir. Aaron Meyers Epstein will render “The Murder Scene” from MacBeth. The program will close with an interpretation of the First Robin of Spring by the aesthetic dancer Mr. Henry Liles. Be sure and tune in as the program will be a treat for the eves and ears. Mr. Ezra Ennis Griffin, Jr., Senior President of the Great Progressive Loyal Order of Un employed Debaters, is spending his vacation fishing—fishing for words to convince the Great Pro gressive Loyal Order of Unem- plo}"ed Debaters that he needs a raise in salary. Mr. Ernest Eutsler, Jr., and Mr, Collins Denning Grove have returned to our fair city after an excursion of ,20 years ’ into the wilds of Africa. They report a most successful trip as they returned with one of the two five dollar bills still unbroken. The approaching marriage of Miss Helen Ellinwood and Mr. Carl McBride, which the bride has been expecting for the last twenty years, is causing quite a stir in scientific circles as Prof. Linwood Earle Blackburn successfully carries out his ex periment and made Miss Ellin wood 6 feet 3 inches in height.
