Editor BETTY LEE NEISLER, Business Manager ,I FCREWORD As the hands of the sun-dial have swiftly moved during our four short years of high school, we, the members of the Class of Forty-one, have found hap- piness together-happiness that has bound us with unbreakable ties to our school, to our faculty, and to each other. In planning this issue of MILESTONES, the members of the staff, with the aid of the faculty and patrons who have loyally supported our efforts, have endeavored to include accounts dear to us, that as Time travels in divers paces we may look through this book, relive these happy days, and realize the truth of the sentiment of an old sun-dial: Hours fly, flowers die: new days New ways pass by: Love stays. H Contents I a I , PEOPLE 0+ l ACTIVITIES '11,- W7 FEATURES BUSINESS DEDICATION To MR. PAUL EUGENE HENDRICKS, who has given unceasingly of his time and talents to help the youth of this high school, who by his daily example has challenged them to live by high ideals and to strive for noble purposes: with genuine love and appreciation of him as teacher and friend, the Class of Forty-one dedi- cates this. the third volume of M11.12sToN1is.

The filming of a gigantic production that was to cover four years had begun at Kings Mountain High School. The recorder and producer Was Father Time. The director was Mr. D, M. Bridges, aided by a number of capable assistants in various departments. The drama was to be in four acts, The plot was not definite, but each act was to develop, day by day, into one hundred eighty scenes, all depicting the interests and activities of high school life. The cast of one hundred eighty fresh- men, from the three separate lots, East, West, and Central, had presented themselves, eager to qualify for the role of Star, which they were to claim. As the first act progressed, the freshmen began to understand schedules, chang- ings of sets to go from teacher to teacher, hall traffic, and order among a large group of people. They found their scripts, studied and offered their cooperation in the successful filming of the drama. In the producing of the second act, this group was given an opportunity to prove their talents. Each of the four groups of actors was permitted to test the ability of the others in music, dramatics, and art. The results showed that the class of '41 ranked first in their attainments. This was only the begining of the group's prominent participation in forensic contests, glee clubs, band, athletics, and all other school activities. During the filming of the third act, several additions were made to the activi- ties of the studio. Besides the physical education program, which had been instituted the preceding year, an advanced algebra course, a Bible course, and a dramatic club were added. The actors themselves, wishing to cooperate more effectively with the director, organized a Student Participation Organization. The group of '41 supplied the first Vice-President and members of the com- mittees appointed to begin the new work, The climax of the third act was a scene of great beauty, a colorful banquet, gay music, lovely costumes, a dance in the gymnasium-these assured the dwindling group that those who for three years had refused to be discouraged were receiving their deserved reward, The fourth and last act is nearing completion. The number of actors remain- ing for the premiere in June is seventy-four. During the Hlming of this drama many accidents have occurred, many scenes have been re-taken, but the work and worry will be forgotten when the time for commencement approaches. The value of these experiences, of the cooperation practiced, of the scripts that have been learned, and of the friendships formed in the producing of this Drama of the Class of '41 can be revealed only by the box receipts of the future.

High, knowing that our hours of completed work, fulfilled plans, and realized dreams are near at hand. believe that we have accumulated certain treasured talents, worth- while qualities, and valued possessions which we would like to place for safe keeping in the hands of the followers of the sun-dial in years to come. Thus, as we plod forward with a never-ending zeal to whatever goal the dial of tomorrow holds in store for us, we, on the first day of January, 1941, do make this our last will and testament, declaring null and void any previous documents of this type.

Page Forty-nine THE REVELATION OF THE SUN-DIAL Last week about three hours after I had left Washington in my private plane, I was peacefully flying over what I believed to be Charlotte, N. C., when suddenly the motor began to sputter warningly. Working quickly, almost frantically, I managed to make a safe landing in an open field, which I soon learned was on the outskirts of Kings Mountain. My first thought was to get to the nearest telephone to call a mechanic, but there was no house in sight. However, in the distance, I noticed a lot of wild growth which seemed to form a kind of shelter. Overcome with curiosity, I wandered over to see what it could be. I pulled away the bushes until I could make out a small stone edince. On carefully examining it, I recognized an old. old sun-dial. The numbers were scarred, but the face was still serving its age-old purpose of marking the passing of time. Why should the very sight of this old time-marker put me in such a reminiscent mood? Suddenly, as I glanced at the face of the dial, it seemed to become transparent, and the features of an old gray-bearded man gradually became visible. Startled upon finding a human figure there, for a moment I could not speak. The old man addressed me. i'You don't remember me, but I know you and I have followed you lo! these many years. People call me Father Time, the Spirit of this old sun-dial. Then I did remember! Father Time was the same Spirit of the sun-dial that had inspired us in the publication of our high school annual twenty years before. It's good to see you again, he said. I knew you would grow tired of working in that chemical plant up there in Washington and come back to see me. I don't quite understand, Father Time. How do you know I am a chemist? And how do you know I live in Washington? That's very simple! I know about all of you boys and girls. Since your graduation I have had a peculiar interest in each of you. Just as regularly as the hands of the dial have marked the hours, I have kept my eyes on you. I know where each member of your class is and what each is doing. How interesting! I exclaimed. I.et's sit down while you tell me all about my former classmates. I've often wondered how Life has dealt with them. As I listened, I was not surprised to learn that almost every profession is represented by the graduates of Kings Mountain High in 1941 and that many of my classmates have attained success. Our class president, the former Betty Lee Neisler, is the wife of a prominent surgeon. This happy marriage was the culmination of a romance that began in high school days. Other girls who have chosen the Matrimonial Way to Happiness are Rena Bobbitt, Dorothy Greene, Nancy Edwards, Emelyn Wilson, Sara Herndon and Fanny Littlejohn. Of these, Sara's marriage was the most exciting, for she eloped with a lion-tamer from Gibbie's QJames Gibsonj circus. Now she spends her time trying to tame him, but he is so-o-o handsome! Vivian Prince, after using all her charming powers in stringing young men, is yet an unplucked rose on her family tree. She is art editor of Vogue. I was no longer amazed at the miraculous growth of Kings Mountain when the old seer informed me that R. G. Plonk, Jr., has been mayor for five years, Bedford Ramsey has held the position of City Manager for the same period of time, and Frederick Weaver and Roy Smith are both councilmen. Aileen Welch is the mayor's elicient secretary. A number of Kings Mountain's most successful business enterprises are owned and operated by my former classmates. Wilson Griflin is proprietor of the city's largest drug store. Eugene Gault and George Womack, Jr., operate a wholesale grocery firm that does a tremendous business. Menzell Phifer has a large hardware store, and the Alexander Bros. CCharles and Jamesj Department Store covers almost an entire city block. Virginia Parker runs an exclusive beauty salon. Madge Boyd and Martha Sue Dover work for her. Others who hold places of responsibility are Talmadge Frederick, pastor of the First Baptist Church: Eugene White, president of the Phenix Mills, and Bill Page, cashier of the First National Bank. Clyde Bridges is an outstanding physician, and Stokes Keller is a successful attorney. Serving as superintendent of the City Schools is Billy Throneburg. Teaching in the system are Doris White, Nancy Nickels, Nell Mauney and Martha Ann Kennedy. Juanita McSwain is manager of the school cafeteria. Jimmy Willis is director of the Physical Education Page Fifty fd ..lg, Nbr-H Department. and George Allen, Jr.. is head coach of football. Wanda Maloney is in charge of girls' athletics. Bobby McDaniel is doing a splendid job of directing the school band. But not all of the '41 graduates cast their lots at home. The old man looked into the distance and told of those farther away: Betty Patrick is teaching Latin at her Alma Mater. Agnes Scott College. Frances Crouse and Marie Pearson are interior decorators for Macy's in New York. The Mauney twins, Miles and Ernest, are famous concert pianists. Their names are known in musical circles throughout Europe and the Americas. Clara Mae Gantt, who always had a way of nnding out things. is in Chicago. She is editor of the recent publication More Facts About Everybody. Dot Harmon also turned to writing as her career. She is author of the current best-seller, How to Be Beautiful and Hold Your Man. Herbert Mitchem, with Jimmy Dickey as his assistant, is coaching football at the University of California. For the past three seasons their team has made the Rose Bowl. Howard Edens and Charles Ballard entered the field of professional baseball. Howard's record reads like that of Babe Ruth, but Charles soon gave up playing ball to operate a hot-dog joint in Blacksburg. Rachel Smith has climbed the ladder of fame in the Metropolitan Opera. Her voice is com- parable to that of Jeannette McDonald's twenty years ago. W. H. Putnam, Jr.. is spending his time in Africa christianizing a tribe of natives known as Wahooes. He has been remarkably successful, for they act cannibalistic only on holidays now. Eugene Wright was recently made assistant to the United States Treasurer, Ben Ware. Eugene's wife, pleasantly remembered as Mildred Mitcham. spends large sums of money and is Washington's leading society matron. Buddy Williams has accumulated a vast fortune from his famous race horses in Kentucky. Marguerite Tindall.l Sara Hord, and Nellie Whetstine refused to give up their freedom, so they have never married. Marguerite is a stenographer in Raleigh, Sara is proprietress of a tearoom in Bessemer City, and Nellie is manager of Ivey's Baby Department. Meek Carpenter and Jackie Gamble organized their own band soon after graduation from Clemson. They broadcast daily from Station W. W. L. lWe Won't Listenj. Helen Ramsey is North Carolina's first woman governor. Mary Ruth Hicks is her secretary. The state is so prosperous under petticoat rule that the voters have almost decided to give Helen a lifetime job. Alex Owens and Eugene Tignor fell in love with army life during their year of com- pulsory military training so both re-enlisted. They say it's much easier than working for a living. Mae Sue Goforth. Louise Hampton and Jennie Hullender, all middle-aged spinsters but still very charming, are teaching in the Live-and-Learn University at Archdale. Clara Humphries is dietitian at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. In the same institution Louise Jonas is superintendent of nurses. Jo Keeter is the leading woman chemist of today. At present she is engaged in research work for the DuPont Corporation. Her experiments deal with making silk stockings out of discarded razor blades. Gordon Barnette is jerking sodas on the top floor of the Empire State Building. He looks resplendent in his high white cap but is somewhat thin. They say he is henpecked by his wife, the former Florine Mackey. I could hardly believe it! But speaking of soft drinks, I. B. Goforth. Jr., became rich from manufacturing them in Miami. Florida. He was critically ill recently, and Dr. John George discovered that I. B. had been living on his drinks for the sake of economy. His wife. the former Rachael McClain, was terribly worried: for I. B. had also been putting them in the baby's milk bottle. And now, having learned the whereabouts of my classmates. I was more eager than ever to continue my journey. But what about my stranded plane? Well, Father Time had a solution for that, too. He not only offered to keep guard over the plane until I could send a mechanic for it, but pointed across the field to an old H1941 Model Ford, which he assured me would be lacking in speed but could outdo the plane in making a fuss. With that suggestion Father Time disappeared into the face of the dial. Thus, my return to the Home Town was somewhat different from the way in which I had planned it, but it is needless to say I attracted quite a bit of attention. MANLY MOORHEAD, JR., Class Prophet.
