Seniors Make Farewells To Old A, H, S, To Take Up Various And Sundry Callings As the seniors were regretfully taking their departure from dear old A. H. S., we asked them where we could find them in the immedi ate future—in case we wanted to see them again. Hoyle Lowder is going to be a mechanical engineer in the U. S. army; Bill Hatley is just going to be a mechanical engineer. Gerald Long will be found in business school, along with Marie Rogers and Leola Poplin. Emmalee Morton’s going to be a stenog rapher also. It’ll be John C. Hahn, care U. S. army air corps, any place where there is fighting. Woman’s college will be the home of Martha Ivey, Eulalia Tucker, Carolyn Stone, Jo Morton, and maybe Imeldia Blackwell. Gene Hatley was very dignified and formal (imagine) in his reply. He said, “I am contemplating en tering some branch of the armed Guess who’s going in nurses’ training? Mary Ellen Milton at Virginia Memorial Hospital and Georgia Little at Watt’s Hospital in Durham. These R. N.’s and sol diers! Just imagine Kelly Jordan and Bill Cooper in those khaki uni forms ! And whattdya know about David Edwards, Buddy Hubbard, and Lane Hearne going to see the Glenn Ellis and William A. Ken nedy (Bill, to you), already signed up with the naval air corps, couldn’t persuade Ken Cooper to give the army air corps the go-by. Rose’s Five and Dime will be Frank Patterson’s hangout in the Claudine Huneycutt honestly re plied, “I’d like to go to work some where when school’s out.” So would Helen Price. Rosa Parker is going way up there to Columbia University come fall. “That one small head could carry all she knew.” Speaking of brains, what was that Doris Dulin was saying the other day about do ing social reform in India? Some thing about the caste system. Can’t anyone out-Lowder Rob ert, for he says, “I am planning to make J. C. Penney a good salesman —or the U. S. Navy a good sailor.” Marian Watkins will prepare to become a laboratory technician, while Eloise Martin goes to work in some defense plant. Ollie Laton might like riveteering too. Jean Lentz at present, is very much Duke-minded. She says she likes the courses offered there. What’s the world coming to? Not a one of our seniors plans to become school teachers, preach ers, lawyers, or doctors! Not even a politician among them. Only Ted Furr plans to do something profes sional. He would like to be a big shot—such as manager of the Ford Brothers, Luke and Everett. Graduates To Give Own Music, Talks Patriotism Is Theme Departing from the previous cus- >m of having the program fur- ished by others than the senior class, seniors this year have ar ranged and will present their own graduation exercises tonight in the high school auditorium. Speakers for this occasion come from the student body and, follow ing the theme, “We Pledge Al legiance”, will make talks on pa triotic subjects. Tommy Rabe, class president, will preside and make the opening talk. Three short talks, entitled “Liberty”, by Kelly Jordan; “Unity”, by Martha Ivey; and “Democracy”, by Bill Hartsell, will follow. Valedictorian, Eulalia Tucker, will speak on “America, Our Fu ture”, and Carolyn Stone, on “America, Our Challenge”. These will be the main speeches of the evening. The songs and other parts of the program will also follow out the patriotic theme. The graduating class will sing “America”, “Amer ica, the Beautiful”, “The Star- Spangled Banner”, and “To Thee, 0 Country” as the music for their program. This is the first time a graduat ing class has had a sufficient num ber of trained voices to be the chorus for their own exercises. The rest of the exercises will be very much as usual. Seniors will enter singing the traditional pro cessional, “Follow' the Gleam”. The gift to the school will be presented by Tommy Rabe, presi- Following the class’ part on the program, Mr. McFadyen will pre sent the seniors to F. B. Patter son, chairman of the board of trus tees, who will award them their diplomas. Rogers Is Chosen To Head Marshals Bill Rogers, an eleventh grader, is serving as chief marshal for the commencement exercises to be held May 23 and 28. Serving as assistant marshals are Jimmy Bogle and Rose Morton, eleventh grade; Jimmy Knotts, Dick Morrow, Louise Efird, and Betty Hatley, tenth grade; Pete Clark and Ellen Dennis, ninth grade; Ellen Bigler and Tommy Wolfe, eighth grade. These students were chosen, not only for their scholastic ability, but also for their attitude, good con duct, and reliability. By Their Words “You girls go around fussing about this paint, and you have it smeared all over your face.”—Mr. Hatley. Well, I tell you, Mr. McFadyen, I had to go see my brother. Ford, (who is in the hospital) yester day.”—Bob Redwine. (Just getting back from Kan napolis.) “I wonder how I lost my ring.”—Charles P., Leroy B., and “Jo” Ritchie.
