RAYMOND VVARD AJIRIAINT VVIIITLIEY F SENIURS E l 1 H H E ,. 1 i Z I I s . 4 i CL SS I-IISTUHY E PREFACE n 1949, when we entered Cannon High School, We hardly co sidered ourselves a class, for we had all come from various sc ols, different walks of life, and we had never seen many of the str nge faces about us. Yet, gradually over a period of four years, aft r learning to work with our classmates, discovering what to ex ect of others, and what was expected of us, we finally matured int the class of 1953. 'We became a definitely organized class with the Senior-Junior, Junior-Senior, the Washington trip, class plays, the new school, class rings, and the football team all becoming maior highlights duifing our four years. Now let us take this opportunity to review our past four years, and in doing so, relive the thrills and excitements that went hand in hand with them. CHAPTER I eading our class that first year were: Walker Jung, presidentg C y Sherrill, vice-president, Wayne Dellinger, secretaryg Shirley E erson, treasurer, who worked with Miss Betty Boyette, class ad iser, to plan our first big social in high school, which was a pi ic and square dance in the school gymnasium. We elected Phyllis Finger and Harold Deal to represent our class in Student Council for the year. " CHAPTER II s we began to get into the swing of things our Sophomore r we elected Clark Drake, president, Jerry Daye, vice-president, n Galliher, secretary, and Don Ritchie, treasurer. To represent us in Student Council, we chose Gypsy Kennerly and Jerry Daye. hen, to really get the ball rolling, the plans for .our new hi h school, which was to be on First Street, were revealed. T ough uneventful and unimportant as it may seem, this one ye r probably affected our future more than any other of the four ye rs. We now had a new school to look forward to. rs. Vinson, class adviser working with us, planned our social the year, a swimming party at Mirror Lake, at which swim- g, food, and golf were enioyed by all. hough very unusual for Sophomores, seven of our girls, Pat M Manus, Gypsy Kennerly, Gloria Gilliam, Isabel Holbrook, S rley Watts, Becky Goodman, and Jimmie Henderson, were ta ped into the National Honor Society. m VE Jo fo m. s Freshmen we had not been represented in a Student Gov- er ent ofiice, so of course we were very proud of Walker Jung's be g elected treasurer of the Student Government. CHAPTER III here were several highlights in our Junior year. The Junior- Se ior, which honored the Seniors, was centered around the th me, "Show Boat." Entertainment was rendered by Joyce Slaw- so , Barbara Haneline, lngle Cook, and Don Ritchie, with Shirley W tts and Jerry Myers at the piano. Following the banquet at th Y.M.C.A. a dance was held in the school gymnasium. he biggest event, by far, of the year was the long anticipated W shington trip. The Capitol, Supreme Court Building, Arlington C etery, Jefferson Memorial, Washington Monument, Luray C erns, and the never-ceasing rain were long to be remembered by all. At a class meeting, Clark Drake, Gary Serrill, Bobby Keller, Billy Strawn, Peggy Black, and Jerry Daye were elected president, vit-president, secretary, treasurer and Council members, respec- ti ly, with Miss Mariorie Harrell as class adviser. "She Couldn't Remember," the Junior class play, directed by Miss Sara Jordan, and the Senior-Junior, which was centered around Valentine honoring us, were both special events of the year. Then we finally had our class rings, which were shown with pride for several weeks. Three outstanding students'during the year were Walker Jung, Secretary of Student Government and Vice-President of the North C olina Student Council Con ress, David Castor, State Bible Cl b Treasurerg and Carol Phillips, Homecoming Queen. CAROL FERGUSON Historian Five of our girls, Carol Phillips, Carol Ferguson, Barbara Cline, Jackie Gabriel and Billie Max Thomason, were tapped into the National Honor Society. The only Junior to be tapped into the honorary society of the Quill and Scroll was Shirley Watts. Six boys, Ronald Blackburn, Jimmy Beavis, Clark Drake, Jerry Daye, Jimmy Icard, Walker Jung, were members of the Key Club which was organized this year. At last we were ready for our final year when we would be Seniors. CHAPTER IV It now seemed as if a dream were at last a reality. Not only were we Seniors after three long years, but we had entered our new school, A. L. Brown High School, with hearts filled with pride and joy. The auditorium, long halls, and individual lockers, were proudly viewed by everyone. We were not the first class to graduate from this fine new school, but we were the first class to spend our whole Senior year in it. This year was alive and buzzing with activity. First the long, slow process of picture making of Seniors, superlatives, and clubs for the annual of Brown High School. But the trouble was well worth it and even more just to receive our treasured books. Then caps and gowns, calling cards, and invitations had to be ordered. Mrs. Virginia Alexander, class adviser, aided the officers, David Castor, presidentg Isabel Holbrook, vice-president, Carol Phillips, secretary, Max Chandler, treasurer, the various committees, and the class in choosing the class motto, "They conquer who believe they can", the colors, wine and whiteg the iiower, the gardeniag the poem by Myrtle Gulledge, "Ours for Memory", and the mascots, Delaine Cannon and Rodney Holbrooks. The Senior Edition of the ALBROKAN was dedicated to our principal, Mr. Fred O. Drummond. . This year six boys and three girls were tapped into the Quill and Scroll. They were: Jimm Reavis, Joe Dowless, Joe Glass, Walker Jung, Jerry Myers, Phil Tesh, Shelia Sasser, Gloria Gilliam, Gelene Hutchins. At a class meeting, Isabel Holbrook and Billy Strawn were elected as Council members to represent the class. The Key Club inducted four boys, who were Max Chandler, Jerry Myers, Paul Fisher, David Castor into their club this year. Our Student Government was headed by Walker Jung and Jerry Daye, president and vice president, To Shirley Watts the title, "Miss High Miss," based on beauty, character, and scholarship, was awarded. Phyllis Finger was elected as "Miss Brown High" and also the queen of the Carrousel in Charlotte. Perhaps the most amazing achievement was the fact that we had an undefeated football team for the first time in the history of our school. They were South Piedmont Conference Champion- ship winners. Our hearts swelled with pride when Gary Sherrill was chosen to play in the Shrine Bowl game, Clark Drake won the Lug Leizer award, and Don Ritchie was chosen as the most valuable player. This was the most glorious year of all for us. With May came the delightful whirl of Senior Dav, practicing for the beautiful Class Day exercises, Baccalaureate Sermon, and Graduation exer- cises, new dresses, new suits, I-lowers arriving, calling cards and invitations coming, annuals being proudly read and signed, and gifts opened in thrilling excitement. It was a ioy to be young, alive and graduating rom high school. Other days might be dark, but these were heavenly. CONCLUSION As we leave A. L. Brown High School, our Alma Mater, we shall always remember what it has meant to us, and there shall always be a warm, tender spot in our hearts for Cannon High School, too. It is hard to realize that we are leaving, never to return as students again, and that we are parting from many of our friends never to see them again. But always in our hearts we shall cherish the fond memories of our four wonderful years together.

Eagerly I set the dial. Time: 68. Place: Kannapolis, my home town. Triumphantly, w I I te ped into the diffusion chamber, and soon felt myself w irling through eternity. The sensation ceased, and I lo ked around anxiously. I had arrived in Kannapolis, g den spot of the world. A arade was coming down the st eet and loudspeakers blaredi Walker Jung for Congress- m n, Joe Glass for Senator. Some of my classmates had a parently gone into politics. I cheered furiously, turned a und, and bumped into Phil Tesh. He was wearing a t edo, and lettered across the front were these words of i nite wisdom: "Rent a tux at Holbrooksf' He ex- p ined that his wife, Isabel. forced him to wear it con- st ntly. Then he began to tell me about our Senior Class. enry McDowell, Conard Baker, and Paul Fisher had le t town abruptly, and were now smuggling guns into gentina. Norma Yates and Sue Hinson had attained t e rank of second lieutenant in the WACS. Others, in t e Armed Services were James Overcash, Gene Simpson, a d Arvil Shepherd. I questioned him further and learned t at a number of my friends were now married. Among t ese were Shirley Armstrong and Jimmy Campbell, Nancy P well and Elmo Hoffman, and Billy Ashley and Gelen utchins. Carol Phillips and Dot Simmons are the co- o ners of a fashionable dress shop where the Gloria Gil- li m exclusives are created. The Business Men's Associa- ti n was passing by now in the parade and I spotted some I knew: Billy Ford, department store ownerg Clyde Lapish, u ed-car dealerg and Wayne Phillips, loan shark. Having nothing else to do, I decided to take in a movie. I bought a ticket from Ann Childers and walked in. I was i mediately greeted by Tommy Thomas, the manager. e began to tell me about the picture, which was 'ADeath 0 the Desert" starring Phil Rainey and Gerry Foil. The cfedits began to flash on the screen as I sat down-produced Joe Dowless, directed by Bobby Hunsucker, musical s ore by Jerry Myers, costumes by ack Middleton, omen's gowns by Gypsy Kennerly, an sets by Ronnie oberts and Wallace Ritchie. My attention was distracted a noisy group of nurses in front of me. Among these ere Bobbie Jean Gibson, Shirleen Cline and Mildred arlow. They were talking to two more of my friends who d been lucky enough to elude marriage. Larry Goldston d Gary Holder. I suddenly became bored with the pic- t re and left. I bumped into Bobby Helms on the way t, and he informed me that he is a dentist in New rleans. He spoke highly of a new singing act at the lub Bayou, which is owned by Carl Morton. They call t emselves the Allen Sisters, but they are really Patsy ussell, Nancy Cloninger, and Barbara Haneline. I walked down the street to a newsstand, bought a paper, nd sat down in the park to read. The first thing I saw, i blazing headlines was: "Local Girl Swims English hannelf' Early this morning, Phyllis Messer became the fth woman to swim the English Channel. Feeding her ndwiches from the rowboat were Carolyn Huffman and arbara Brooks, international tennis stars. Looking further own the page, I noted that Bill Doby had won the Bronze tar in action on the Western Front. I tumed rapidly to e sports page, where many of my classmates were men- 'oned. Grimsley Seamon was playing left end for the hicago Bears, along with Gary Sherrill at right tackle. I oticed that Barbara Hill had become the women's na- ional golf champion. David Castor and Maxine Petrea ad been placed on the Olympic swimming team. Clifford kevin and Sonny Cobb were waging a hot battle for oney-making honors as iockeys at Pimlico. I also saw that rown High had completed another successful season with on Ritchie as coach and Clark Drake as his assistant. LI then began looking over the comics. Jerry Cavin and nn Carter had comic strips of their own, and were making great deal of money. Jean Lindsay also had a humorous aily cartoon in the paper. I I turned to the financial section, and was pleased to' I learn that Guy Freeze and Charles Gribble were suc- cessful Wall Street stockbrokers. Jerry Bradshaw and Jimmy Howell had opened a fac- tory in Charlotte, and were now being investigated by the Government on a charge of having too many secretaries. The paper mentioned their names and I remembered a few: Peggy Canup, Patricia Whitley, Gail Gilliam, and Elaine Goble. Further down the page was a large advertisement stating that Colonel Richard Byrd's Colossal Circus was in town. It featured Steve Falls, sword swallowerg Delma Goins and Bobby Hollar, trapeze artistsg Phil Helms, magician, and Ralph Melton and Bankie Moore, clowns. I turned the page and glanced briefly at the society section. I dis- covered that Max Chandler, noted surgeon, and his wife, the former Peggy Black, had entertained at their home the night before. Among those present were Jimmie Icard, a minister in Charlotteg Carol Ferguson, novelist, Shirley Watts, concert pianist, and Bill Black, one of the vice- presidents of Cannon Mills. On the next page was an announcement that the Sani- tary Cafe was under new managementg namely, Phyllis Canup and Jane Peeler. There was also an ad for the Acme Service Station, which was owned by Pat Whitley and Marvin Overcash. I read also that Hartsell Lea Os- borne had iust returned from a milliner's convention in Chicago, while Marlene Clampet and Doris Lunsford had been to New York to get the latest hair style from Paris. Darlene Herman and Shelia Sasser are also in New York, modeling dresses. I then read a review of Patty Petrea's latest book by Joan Wilson and Barbara Cline, librarians. Well, that ended the paper, so I decided to go for a walk in the park. I walked down the winding path and came upon a group of Boy Scouts. Their leader was none other than Bobby Keller. He told me that Ronald Black- burn and Jerry Daye had opened a large sporting goods store in Atlanta. Also in Atlanta were Faye Lipe and Phyllis Bentley, two of the nation's outstanding women wrestlers. Many of my acquaintances had been captured by the white lights of Broadway. Loretta Crowe, Audrey Grass, and Joann Carlton had big roles in one of the new plays. Hubert Griffin and Keith Austin were owners of a soda shop on Fourth Avenue. Jackie Gabriel owns a large stable of thoroughbreds in Westchester. Danny Argo, Carol Barnett, and Carol Hipps are chorus girls in the musical comedy, "Two for the Money." Some of our girls liked Washington so much when we toured there in 1952 that they decided to return and work for the government. Among these are Martha Poston, Juanita Donaldson, and Jacqueline Davis. Pat McManus and Kay Moss are policewomen in Chicago. Barbara Poole and Kay Turner are stenographers in Los Angeles. In Charlotte, we fmd Mariorie Farmer, Sara Jo Newson, and June Lane Medlin working as telephone operators. Just for kicks, I decided to visit Brown High once again. I walked in the door and found to my surprise that many of the teachers were among the class of '53. These were Luci Ballard, art, Joan Galliher, algebrag Billie McCombs, bookkeepingg Clinton Misenheimer, mathematics, Billie Max Thomason, historyg and Ann Barlow, physical edu- cation. There was nothing exciting happening at high school, so I decided to go home. I Went inside, sat down, and turned on the television set. There was a panel discussion going on with Max Dula as moderator. The Democrats were represented 'by Lloyd Wike and the Republicans by Everett Lovett. This ended with Wike being thrown out by three studio policemen, two of these being Bill Cauble and Charles Scercy. Next came Jimmy Hubbard's variety show, and I sat back to watch it. The first act was the celebrated comedy team of Charles Fink and Richard Griflin, with a short routine of iokes and stories. Next came the Brooklyn Glee Club, under the direction of Ingle Cook. There was a EL S5 PHUPHEEY spattering of local talent present, and I would consider myself a barbarian if I did not tell you their names. They were: Suzanne Huskey, Josephine Edwards, Bobby Brooks, and Betty Tilley. They sang a few numbers and ran off the stage as fast as they could. The next act was two acrobats, Frank Allman and Junior Ball. They did a couple of difficult feats and received a nice round of applause. The next number was a dance team composed of Hazel Mathis and Gail Collins, which ended the program. I was then interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Robert Hinson, owner of the Towel City Theatres. He had been keeping close tabs on most of the senior class since graduation. He gave me the word on a few I hadn't heard about. Clark Bowman is in the Navy and has reached the rank of first lieutenant. but he has not done as well as Richard Nash, who is an admiral. You can pick up almost any magazine these days and find on its cover a picture of Phyllis Finger, one of New York's most beautiful models. She appeared on the cover of Life this week, and most of the credit goes to Joe Hill, her press agent. Jimmy Reavis, incidentally, has been editor of this magazine for quite some time along with Marvin Taylor as advertising manager. John Sweeney is a highly successful author in Atlantic City. Ralph Robin- ette and Rufus Cauble are working on a construction proiect in Ohio. June Gurley is working in the same busi- ness office in Cleveland, where Dickie Bolick is advertis- ing manager. Bobby Reynolds has become a chemist in Boston at the Screech Manufacturing Company. The Screech Company, incidently, is owned by two women, Lottie Tucker and Betty Vinson, who have done very well in the big city. Glenola Allen, Phyllis Boger, and Joyce Ingle have formed a landscape gardening business in Beverly Hills, California. They have recently landscaped the home of Frances Cran- ford, glamorous star of stage and screen. Bobby Mauldin is a noted Charlotte architect and has iust finished designing a new high school, of which Arnold Shaver is to be principal. Charles King is a doctor at Bellevue Hospital and seems to have surrounded himself with local nurses. A few of these are Barbara Weaver, Lucille Munday, Ravenelle Mitchell, and Hazel Williams. Faye Freeze is in charge of the S Sr W Cafeteria in Charlotte, having gained valu- able experience in high school. Many of the girls I knew had chosen business careers, but others preferred the quiet existence of the housewife. A few of these are Pearl Earn- hardt, Loretta Bassett, and Jean Thomas. Gene Walker and Carlton Walls have recently become quite rich. They have discovered a gold mine in Utah. Also rather wealthy are Bobby Coe and Elmer Hartsoe, who work at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington. They never forgot the sight of all that money. If one were in Charlotte, he would discover that Joyce Slawson, Shirley Thomas, and Louise Query are slaying away as telephone operators. Overseeing the whole opera- tion is Barbara Smith. Speaking of overseers, there are a couple of boys who have attained that rank in Cannon Mills. These are Charlie Cline and James Nesbitt. James Hill and Billy Lisk have gone into the manufacturing business. They make cigarette lighters, which are designed by Peggy Deese. A few of the former students, such as Martha Pittman and Norma Rainey, have taken an interest in acting and are touring the country in a new play. Wendell Howard is a lawyer right here in Kannapolis. He is so busy he requires two secretaries, Sarah King and Betty Ingram, to handle his correspondence. The Colonial Grill has been bought by two girls, Shirley Hampton and Nancy Coble. They have made Rachel Perkins manager and have employed Billie Collins and Louella Richardson as waitresses. They have a floor show consisting of the Beam sisters, Laura and Phyllis, who are not really sisters but make more money by pretending they are. At this point, I interrupted Robert's absorbing monologue to turn on the radio. I listened to the honeyed words of Boris J. Whitesides, the announcer. The announcer was babbling about a meeting last night of the South Main Street Forward and Pilau Ladies' Etaoin Shrldu Club. Among those present were Juanita Goodnight, Barbara Fox, Margaret Hix, Myrtle Gulledge, Frances Whitley, and Sara Joann Smith. CHousewives, in case you're won- dering.j Robert then switched off the radio, since it was drowning out his recital. Frances Moon and Shirley Wilhelm are charming stewardesses for Trans-VVorld Airlines, where James Teague is a pilot. Norma Brumbeloe has opened a florist's shop in North Kannapolis, and has Shirley John- son, Magdalene Lamb, and Rachel Thomas working for her. Many of the former students had settled down to live in Charlotte. Nancy Payne, Patsy Watson and Evelyn Polk are secretaries for the Hayes Manufacturing Com- rany, which is owned, naturally enough, by Jerry Hayes. Here, we come upon a strange phenomenon-a trucking company owned and operated entirely by women, The Hilton and Pope Transfer Company, 'owned by Pansy Hilton and Louise Pope. The manager is Mary Catherine Honeycutt. They employ about twenty girls as clerks and accountants, but there were only a few I knew, these being Gwendolyn Freeze, Christine Donahue, and Evelyn Mar- tin. Mary Russell, Mariorie Torrcnce, Betty Patterson, and Mary Ross have done well as truck drivers, but as women do, they stick their arm out the window to dry their nail polish. Billy Wiles and Bill Strawn have heeded the advice of Horace Greeley Cnot a studentl and "gone west." They struck oil in Oklahoma and are living like kings. Dallene Crainshaw, who is quite rich, loaned them the money with which to make their start. She owns almost every bank in North Carolina, and usually hires her friends to manage them for her. In charge of the Kanna- polis branch is Joyce Honeycutt, with Velma Woodard as head cashier. In Concord. Rachel Pope is in charge with Joyce Spry as head cashier. Tommie Jo Campbell is manager of the bank in China Grove. Frank Clampet and Ralph Nesbitt are tree surgeons in Punxsatawney, Pennsylvania, which is the home of Kathryn Gibson and Frances Gregory. These girls are married, have several children, and do not seem to miss Kannapolis in the least. Two other girls who are married and don't miss Kannapolis are Shirley McNeil and Anne Fesperman who are living in Anchorage, Alaska. Shirley Chambers, Evelyn Simpson, and Faye Garyer have become interior decorators in Miami, and have amassed a small fortune. Robert then admitted that this was all he knew about the class of '53. I grabbed him furiously by the shoulders and screamed, "What ever happened to Morris Grass?" Robert confided that Morris had last been seen riding off into the sunset, yodeling softly to himself. I bade Robert goodbye, for I could feel my electrons fading away. I was whirled back through time, and soon found myself in the gloomy laboratory from whence I had come.
