This Volume of the

IS respectfully dedicated to

THE MEMBERS OF

lioman'0 (Hinh

VD now that everything else in the Senoca has been com-

pleted, the foreword must be written. We hope you will

like our annual this year, because we have spent "two or

three nights" of real work in getting it ready for publica-

tion. If you do not like it, we will not be effected in the

least, because we already have your money and you have the annual.

The SeNOCA this year was written in a spirit of rebellion against

the antiquated style of most annuals. This departure from conven-

tional treatment has taken us from worn-out and uncertain ventures into

slang, cheap wit, satire, pure foolishness, and occasionally to attempts

at accurate description and sincere tribute.

The reason for all this variety is that we, the members of the Senior

Class of '27, have seen very little in school life that was serious, and

certainly nothing that should cause us to publish a book that would make

people shed tears when they read it. Therefore, we have endeavored

to make it as humorous as possible, because we believe we will appreciate

it more in later years if we publish it in the same spirit in which we

now live.

The reader can rest assured that there is some exaggeration in lan-

guage and much in photographs— but it was all done in a spirit of

humor, the same spirit in which this volume of the Senoca was pub-

lished.

THE SENOC A, 1927

Prophecy of Class of ^27—1935

H, Ralph, this edition of the Johnstonian carries a special ad from Parker's Radio

House," Rachel said, as she glanced up from reading, after the evening meal.

"You know we have wanted a radio all summer, and now this improvedmachine is available here in Selma. I believe Charles will give us a good price

on one of these if we put one in before his sales are too great."

Ralph calmly rested his cigar on the handsome smokador Rachel had given

him for his birthday and asked to see the paper.

"Yes, this sounds like just what we want. The cabinet will be just ideal with our antique

furnishings. 'Spose we go down Saturday to talk the matter over."

"Yes, I can arrange that nicely, as my menu is already planned for that day," added Rachel,

delighted with her husband's decision.

"I know the man installing his machines, too. Of course, you remember Alvin Narron as

well as I. He has been away studying Radio Installation, and has mastered the job we!l. Radiosare so technical now. They require experts, you know, and I'm sure Alvin will take great

pride in giving us a well-finished job."

Ralph and Rachel found just the kind of radio that pleased them, and in a few days' timetheir set had been placed in the drawing room of their up-to-date home on Sunset Drive.

Several weeks it had been in use and was proving to be entertaining and instructive through

the programs so far received. Everything was quiet Monday evening at dinner, when Rachelsuddenly broke forth: "I have a great idea, Ralph. Let's give a radio party and invite the

seniors from the high school. They would be thrilled at the thought of a party. You re-

member what a perfectly marvelous time we used to have at parties. The boys and girls whograduate this year were in the second grade when we finished in '27."

"That's a clever idea, Rachel, and we'll ask their sponsor. Miss Velma Brown. Doesn't it

seem funny that Velma has kept at the job so long? Wouldn't it be interesting to know whatthe rest of our class are doing?" said Ralph, so interested he almost forgot he was eating.

The party was a huge success. Not only were the chocolate sundaes good, but the entertain-

ment was better. Can you imagine such a unique program as the one Rachel gave the SelmaHigh School Annual Staff a few days later to publish, under "What Happened to the Class of '27"?

Gordon Ausley was broadcasting from Station WSB, Atlanta.

Rose Worley was teaching sight singing in the Conservatory at Boston.

Mabel Barnes had just swum the English Channel. She had been spending all of her time

trying to accomplish as much as Gertrude Ederle and others.

Simmie Grant, Joe Ward, James Earp, Herman Brown, Oscar Creech, and W. B. Oliverhad just finished a ten weeks' engagement with Keith's Vaudeville. Sadie Deans was their

accompanist, having decided a career was better than matrimony. They gave us that old song,

"Evaline," over the radio.

John Lacy Deans had finished later, and we heard him in a lecture before the Pharma-ceutical Society.

The Kornegay sisters were giving out their beauty treatment they had just learned fromspecialists in Paris. Their shop catered to men especially.

Can you imagine Georgiana Ashworth and Marie Rae doing social work? We heard their

Christmas plea from Station WRNY, New York.Nellie Barnes had been teaching, and one of her pupils had just won a spelling contest in

the state of Ohio. This announcement came from Station WKRC, Cincinnati.

Matilda Brown was with the Dennison Art Crafts Company and had just completed somenew lamp shade models. She was giving directions over the radio from Station WLS, Chicago.Her assistants were Rena Grant and Mary Underbill.

Thelma Ward, Daisy Crocker, and Lela Crumpler were running a business school in Richmond,using Mary Parker's new system of bookkeeping, known as "Parker's Short Method."We found that Frances Sharpe had completed her course at Duke, as she had anticipated,

and was instructing French in that institution.

We did not hear of Flossie Whitley or Christine Wilkins on that night, but made inquiry,fearing some mishap might have befallen them. Their quiet manner had got them a husbandeach, and they were living west of the Mississippi, both enjoying ranch life.

Ralph and Rachel were more than proud of their radio that had furnished them suchvaluable information, and they planned to have radio parties often.

THE SENOC A, 1927

Junior-Senior Banquet

E were Juniors last year, and were compelled to give the Seniors a

banquet. We are Seniors this year and, of course, we will not force

the Juniors to cancel the banquet that will come the latter part

of this year.

Why is all this reciprocation necessary every year? Well, in

the first place, it is a good way to end the year—eating. Then it is a good way to

prove friendship. When the members of one class get so full of philanthropy that

they willingly give a banquet which costs them money, then it is apparent that

good will exists.

As far back as I can remember there has been a Junior-Senior banquet every year.

Last year when it came our turn to entertain the Seniors, we decided to change the

antiquated style of having the celebration around a long table in the school building

to a garden party to be held on the campus. Some argued that the reason for the

change was to differentiate from the other banquets. But I think the chief reason was

because the place of entertainment would be nearer the paraphernalia that wewould have to borrow and lug over to that place. And now to go on with the story.

After "swiping" fences and gates, borrowing hammers and nails, and getting off

class several times, we at last Inclosed a green spot on which we were to celebrate.

Then some of the vegetarians of our class insisted on entwining all kinds of weeds

and vines around our palisade. Lights were erected, tables procured, table cloths

borrowed, and everything we needed provided, until we finally finished just in

time to get home and get ready. After rushing through a period of washing,

buttoning, tying, polishing, and combing, we at last assembled at our little enclosure.

After spending quite a while walking around aimlessly and talking, we were

told by the toastmaster that place cards were to be found on the table. After

asking Miss Perry what place cards were, we took our seats and began wondering

when to start.

The blundering toastmaster arose, coughed twice, and began calling on various

people to make talks. Those poor innocents did so just because they had been asked

to, and should not have been blamed as much as they were. But finally this part

of the program was finished, and the part that had been most looked forward to

began. A period of silence followed.

As soon as the last course was finished, we all adjourned, and our bantjuet wasdestined to become a memory,

SCHOOLACTIVITIES

THE SENOC A, 1927

Our Clubs

NE person likes one thing, another person another thing.

For this reason we decided this year to change the style

of having only literary clubs to that of having several

clubs, each one taking up a different subject. In that way

we can hope to satisfy more people. The four clubs wehave this year are the Literary Club, the Science Club, the Industrial

Arts Club, and the Two Arts Club. In these four clubs are taught

public speaking, the new and old phenomena of science, the art of using

your hands to make things that are useful and frivolous. The work of

the clubs has been very successful so far, and we feel sure that as time

passes they will become even more beneficial to us.

Athletics

Every real boy and girl in Selma High School feels that athletics

is one of the most necessary adjuncts of school life. Out of this spirit

has come some real teams. Athletics on the whole, this year, have been

very good. The winning of games does not necessarily mean that you

have the best team. Both girls and boys, whether playing on any team

or not, have combined their efforts throughout the year to make this one

of the most outstanding years in the history of the school through

athletic achievements. The efforts of Mr. Bueck, our coach, have meant

much to us in the development of these teams.

team have not reached us at this time.

Therefore, they cannot be put into the

"The Union of All for the Good of All"

"Keep us, O God. from pettiness; let us be large in

thought, in word, in deed.

Let us be done with fault-finding and leave off self-seek-

ing.

May we put away all pretense and meet each other face

to face without self-pity and without prejudice.

May we never be hasty in judgment and always generous.

Teach us to put into action our better impulses, straight-

forward and unafraid.

Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm,

serene and gentle.

Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create

differences; that in the big things of life we are as one.

And may we strive to touch and to know the great com-

mon woman's heart of us all; and O Lord God, let us not

forget to be kind."
