Cramerton High School - Eagle Yearbook (Cramerton, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 76 of the 1955 volume:

Cramerton, North Carolina To a former schoolmate of ours, Don Galloway, who lost his life on October 26, 1954, while in service. Don ' s quick smile, his slow drawl , and his easy-going, friendly manner made him a favorite with all of us. He was a favorite on the basketball court, too. In fact, he was a “natural” there. Many were the nights his scoring pulled us through to victory; and it always looked so easy for Don! And so it is to Don that we dedicate the 1955 EAGLE. His name will live on in our hearts, as well as in this book. MR. W. S. HAYNIE Principal FACULTY MR. J. J.

NANCY ROT AN “GUNG-HO Ed Sullivan has just retired and I have taken his place on “Toast of the Town’’ as mistress of ceremonies. As a big celebration to my good fortune, I have decided to have a reunion of the class of ’55. It will be in the Waldorf Astoria. Finally, it is the night of the big occasion and having had car trouble, I arrive a little late at the party and find that all my guests are already here. The firstperson I see is Dan Alewine. After a fewminutes of talking, Dan whispers m my ear that he is now an undercover operator for a big gambling syndicate . Next I see Junior Miller and Joe Featherstone . They have grown beards, changed their names to the Ludens Brothers, and are up for the heavyweight wrestling championship in Detroit. I walkover to the punchbowl and see Richard Dim sdale and his wife Barbara Keeter. Rich- ard is now a great surgeon. I heard he got his start in Mr. Huss s biology class cutting up frogs. Barbara has won the Typing Championship of the Olympics for the U. S.--250 words a minute ' While I am still standing at the punchbowl, Tom Brandon and Ted Rector walk up. Tom now owns a famous chain of restaurants which go by the name “Bob s Eats . All have been approved by Ted, the new Duncan Hines of America. As I look around the room, I see sitting at a table Dicky Robinson, who has wiped out the name Dairy Queen and set up Donna Dairies all over the world. He has even dared to break the Iron Curtain and set up one in Moscow. Sitting at the table with him are David Carpenter and his sister Peggy. Both are great magicians now--greater t han Houdini 1 Moving around to the other side of the ballroom, I see Katie Faries. Talking to her, I find that she is principal of Cramerton School and has had the hall walls painted shocking pink ' (a refreshing change from that boring chartreuse). It’s time for a dance and Baron Elrod, who has taken Arthur Murray’s place in the world of dancing, asks me for a dance. During the dance I exchange partners and dance with Henry Smith, who now owns General Motors and has a special new line of ‘ ' Hot -Rod s ’ ’’out . They go by the nam e “Lightning.’’ Suddenly I hear beautiful music ' It ' s Nancy McLean, the concert pianist who gave up teaching High School English a few years ago. As I sit down to listen, Jim Barbee and Herman Holland sit down beside me. Jim is now head of CBS and Herman is a renowned psychiatrist. After the piano solo is through, another dance number is played and this time I dance with Steve D avis , the Charlton Heston of the movies and part-time free-lance writer. While dancing we bump into three people standing together . It’s Sally Summerlin, Nellie Ruth Branton, and Bertha Garrison. All have become champions in their field. Sally has swum the English Channel twice and broken all records. Nellie Ruth has risen to fame as an iceskater and Bertha is now playing “Babe” Didrickson for the Woman ' s Pro-Golf Championship. When the dance is over, I step out on the veranda for a breath of air. There I see Betty Grant, the famous ballerina, and Joyce Hawkins, who is in New York for the first time because she has won a pancake contest. She plans tosellthem under the name “Aunt Joyce’s Pancakes.’’ Shelby Grooms and Aileene Price walk over to me. Shelby has just arrived from Paris where she is a designer of women’s clothes; Aileene, on the other hand, designs men’s clothes. Going back into the ballroom, I meet Eugenia Segars and Joyce Weathers. Eugenia and Joyce now run a famous modeling agency in New York. Glancing around the room, I see Harley Padgett and John Rhymer busy talking . John now owns several chinchilla ranches in Utah. John was formerly an oil man. Right where he gave up digging, Harley kept on digging, struck oil, and is now a big oil tycoon. Marcia Hanna and Hazel Stevens walk over to say hello. Marcia is editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal and Hazel has climbed Mt. Everest three times — the only woman to do it. Walking on around the ballroom , I meetBoyce Hance and Thelma Talent. Boyce and Thelma sing with the Metropolitan Opera. They are to play soon in the opera Romeo and Juliet. Continuing my walk, I see Ray Eller, who is now a hell-driver and drives only F ords . Standing at a refreshment table are Doris Bunn and Margaret Guy . Doris is a Fuller Brush saleswoman and has won recognition for it. Margaret is the choreographer on Jackie Gleason’s show. Leaving the table, I sit down on a sofa beside Wayne Lundquist, the great hunter, who has roamed all of Africa and caught several prize animals. I talk to him about what a wonderful evening it has been. Later, when all my guests have left, I think back over all the things that have happened since 1955 and the familiar faces that will live forever in my memory.

ARTICLE II ARTICLE III ARTICLE IV Sally Summerlin T e stator CUSS HISTORY As Seniors, we look back over the past twelve years, years never to be forgotten. We remember our graduation from Junior High to Senior High, for this was the beginning of our high school car eer - - som ething we had looked forward to for eight years. We entered high school in 1951, excited and nervous. With our understanding teachers, Miss Rhyne and Mr. Kuykendall, we began to learn. We made many new friends this year and learned to understand people better. In 1952 we were used to high school and really got down to business in our studying. We had to, with such subjects as biology, world history, and English pressing on our brain. Although we worked very hard, we still had time for parties, ball games, and other entertainment. This is the year most of us learned to dance and we joined in all high school act- ivities. Many m ember s of our Sophomore class participated in high school sports such as football and basketball. Our capable leaders this year were Miss Hickman and Mr. Wallin. Our Junior year was full of excitement. Our class officers were: President, S je ve Davis; Vice-President, Dicky Robinson; Secretary, Joyce Lee; Treasurer Nancy McLean. One of the two main projects of our Junior year was our Halloween Carnival which proved to be a great suc- cess. This carnival gave us the funds for our second project, the Junior- Senior Banquet. Many long hours were spent in working on the banquet; but when it was completed, we were a very proud Junior class. The one person who helped us in these projects all through the year was Miss Doris Cline, who proved to be very patient and understanding although her work was tedious at times. At last we were Seniors, although we could hardly believe it. It seemed so short a time since we had entered high school. We elected as class officers ' President, Richard Dimsdale; Vice-President, Baron Elrod; Secretary, Nanc y TyfrT.ean : Treasurer, Joyce Lee. Each minute of our Senior class proved a new thrill. We got our class rings, worked on the annual, selected superlatives, ordered our invitations, and above all looked forward to being guests at the Junior -Senior Banquet. We contribute our success this year to the competent and patient guidance of Mrs. McGee. We are proud of our successes and of the members of our class who brought honor to us. They not only achieved honor for themselves, but they also brought honor- and glory to our school. “And now in May, 1955, the battle is over, and we are given a di- ploma the receipt for twelve year s of service in the Army of Education . ’’ JL .1 f— — — I — iw m «w- AimiM « n % iidHV m� M| {gH HHI VMM 8WSB31 MBFEW IMHSHiCS99PffiflP ■ ■ diimi • ■ li k I ■!■!■■■ 1 M ftl I n m lii � i i m it ■ ■ i ■ «a • uh itki ■ VkkiktikkiiikiHiH m ■ ■ ijji w Ji i — v , V.-.U JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Shirley Weathers VICE PRESIDENT Frank Nixon TREASURER Jo Holland CHAPLAIN Frances Cline SECRETARY Janice Brown y Ouv isJL.
