IN MEMORIAM The heart of every Lenoir High School student was bent with grief when news spread across the campus on November 7, l95O, that Mr. H. C. Sisk had died. Our superintendent was respected for the scope of his learning, for the range of his interests, for the wisdom of his counseling, and for the variety of services he rendered to students and his schools. Mr. Sisk was loved for his understanding of and interest in young people, for his sympathetic guid- ance, for his wise handling of problems, and for his ability to give students something deeper than class- room knowledge. To the memory of Mr. H. C. Sisk whose every act and word seemed to symbolize friendship, The Bearcat staff affectionately dedicates these pages in memoriam. 4 Wy. ,AX C SLA MR. L. B.

NV CLASS PROPHECY I came home from a trying day at the office to my cozy apartment and restful solitude. I was surprised, upon checking my mail box-which was usually empty-to Hnd a copy of the Lenoir Chronicle. my home town newspaper, dated No- vember 20, 1961. I saw that the paper had been Sent by Polly Anderson, an old schoolmate, who had become a secretary in one of the large furniture factories in Lenoir. With great anticipation, I unlocked the door of my apartment and rushed to an easy chair to search the paper for news of the people I re- membered. Quickly, I turned the page to read the list of staff members. I was delighted to learn that Sally Bruce, our old Mountaineer editor, now held top position on the town paper. This brought back memories of the Journalism class at L.H.S. and all of us who worked so dili- gently on our school paper. Ah! here was another! The next name I read was that of Sara Ann Powell, society editor. These other familiar names caught my eye as I scanned the list: Bob Winkler, sports editor, Bill Tabb, photographer, Gay Chester, re- porter, and Carroll Richards, member of the ad- vertising department. I turned back to the front page to read the national and local news and found some astound- ing facts about the Seniors of 1951. The first story I read was headed: DISTRICT FORESTRY CON- VENTION HELD IN CITY. Looking through the article I found the names of the following men who had become forest rangers in different sections of the state: ClJarler'Smi1la, Clifton W'ilson, Sluarl Younl, Edwin Manchester, Dale Gregg, and Monte Seelaorn. A news story from Kansas City, Kansas, re- ported that Rev. Howard Wall of Lenoir, N. C. fpresident of the class of '51J had accepted a call to one of the large churches there. Miss Belly McGee had recently been appointed Christian Edu- cational Director of the church. The next article I noticed was the announce- ment of the opening of a new dress shop in Lenoir by Miss Nancy Pritchard. Christine Clark, Lorene Holman Hollars, Leoza Lovins, and Lorella Greene were to be her assistants. At the formal opening there was a showing of original suits by the famous designer, Elaine Verbyla, which were modeled by janis Hunlley and Linda Walsh. Under a bulletin headed New York, N. Y. I read that Miss janet Frye, concert pianist, had been presented to a very receptive audience at Carnegie Hall. There was a notice of the appointment of two new social workers to the Caldwell County Wel- fare Department. These were Gwyn Triplen and jimmie Louise Councill. In the next column I spotted an article about the old Alma Mater. Goodness alive! Ledford Austin had just been installed as the new princi- pal. There had also been several new teachers add- ed to the city school's faculty. Among these were several alumni of 1951: joanne Suddrelb, Laura Moore, Ruth Nelson, Marilyn McGirnsey, and Mildred Messire. jo Anne Wilson had recently been employed as assistant band director. Next I saw an article concerning the construc- tion of a new super highway between Lenoir and Hickory. This highway was engineered by john Conway. Bill Pierce, and james Selser. In the court news I read that Darrell Sigrnon, mechanic, was sued by Harris Smith, used car dealer, who claimed that because of a faulty re- pair job, one of his customers had had an acci- dent. Sigmon was represented at the bar by john jobnsong Smith, by Paul Nelson. The names of these men reminded me of another senior of 1951, who had studied law and made quite a success of himself. It was none other than Bob Barlowe, whose name I had often seen in Washington news as an active member of the F.B.I. Next was the great success story of a small town boy who had really gone places in show business. Yes, Lewis Seamp McMillan had brought rag- time back into style and was being acclaimed by Hollywood as the sensation of the age for his im- personations of Al jolson. Looking over some of the ads on the second page, I learned that several new business establish- ments had been opened in Lenoir since I left. Under the heading WILSON GROCERY I read these names: Owen Wilson, jr., Proprietor, Gar- land Benlield, Managerg and john Tester, meat market owner. C ASS PROPHECY I discovered that a machine shop had been opened by Cecil Yount. Among his most skilled workers were Nelion Wall and james Bobbitt. Also, an ultra-modern service station had been built by Robert Fairef, Bob Borden, and Smitb Barloufe. Their slogan was: Cars Washed While- U-Wait. The Riley, a modern theater, had just been opened in Lenoir by Paul Riley. Members of his staff included: Ann Cbilderr, Bernire Siper, and Betty Tinker. Next was the Society page. I read about a party which lane Blackwood had given for Caroline Burb, who was planning to be married soon. This brought back memories of our old gang of high school days. jane was working, Caroline was getting married-but where was Evelyn Hood P And then I remembered receiving a letter from Carole Burnt, who was appearing on a television show in New York, in which she told me that Evelyn was now a disc-jockey and had an hour program each day over station JAZZ. Then I took a look at the Personals column. Some of the items were as follows: Fred McLean and Riebard Kirby recently re- turned from Chicago where they represented their firm at the Furniture Market. Cadets Bill Clippard and Darie: Biggerrtaf of the U. S. Naval Air Corps are at home on fur- lough. Min Barbara McNeil of Charlotte spent the week-end at her home here. I recalled that on my last visit home I had seen Barbara. Scottie Sue Daoir, Evelyn Allen, and she were working in the telephone office in Charlotte. She also told me that Mary Lib Craig was nursing at Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Miir Ernertine Cottrell, promising young writer, is visiting her parents for a few days. She is scheduled to review her latest book at the regular meeting of the Lenoir Book Club, Monday even- mg. Mixr Louire McCall, a member of the faculty of Mars Hill College, is visiting her parents on Highland Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Bill fBarbaral Madixon and family are visiting relatives in Lenoir. The next page was Sports, and I immediately saw that football still held the spotlight. It seemed that the closest game of the season was that in which Coaeb Ned Pennell'J boys of S.M.U. lSaw Mills Universityj defeated the University of Whitnel team fcoached by Ben Ellerj 56-0. Coacb Mickey Wfitberr of Harrisburg Tech was seen scouting from the bleachers. The game was broadcast by Robert Carlton, well known sports announcer. There was a feature story on Edward Moore, who had recently accepted the position of Pro of the Lenoir Golf Club. It was reported that Harold land and Jimmie Dean Baker had signed contracts with the Yankees. The newly organized basketball team, the Thompson Tornadoes, which was coached by Bobby jean Tbompron, was beginning practice for the coming season. Members of the team were: Elizabetb Wineroitf, Barbara Goble, jean Carol Gregg, joyre jenkinr, and Veneta Turner. I thought that this must be a complete list of the 1951 Seniors, but after reminiscing for a few minutes I realized that there were still some un- accounted for. I remembered seeing Marlene Baker Burkner on the street one day and she had told me about several of our old classmates. She was working in an office with Betty jo Mart, janette llyinerof, and Betty Ballard. Betty Hamby Holder was traveling with her husband who was now a colonel in the Air Force. Molly Moretz and her husband were residing in Boone. After counting and recounting the names, I was sure that this was a complete account of the Seniors of 1951-eighty-nine men and women, in- cluding me, who had received the foundations for their lives at our beloved Lenoir High School.

They were filled with awe at the prospect of acquiring an education. Now, twelve years later, they can barely remember the thrilling sensation of entering a classroom for the first time. They have forgotten the tedious task of learning their ABCs, memorizing their multiplication tables, and reading their difiicult primers. For we, who now stand as Seniors of 1951, were those first-graders of '58. Yet, having only a vague recollection of many things, we shall never forget the friends we made, the joy of working and playing togetherg and our little fights and squabbles which were so important then and seem so trivial today. Together we have learned, laughed and loved, and now we must part, each for his separate way. But, for a moment, let us relive some of the experiences which made our school days so dear to our hearts. Yes, it is hard to remember those days when we first launched our scholastic careers. We can faintly recall those opening days of World War II during our grammar school years when we pushed wagons around collecting scrap metal and paper, doing our small part in the defense of peace. Perhaps our most vivid memories are those of our sixth grade graduation and the thrill of entering junior High School. In those days we wandered around bewildered by ringing bells, rushing people, and misplaced schedules. But even in our constant amazement at this abrupt change we felt a little more significant, doing as the High School students did. Graduation from junior High was an unforgettable experience for us. We marched solemnly down the aisle in white suits and dresses to the stirring strains of Pomp and Circumstancef' realizing even then that in four years we would be giving a repeat per- formance. We had not thought much about the future before, but now we began to look ahead and plan to make a success of the next four years. When we-entered the freshman class of L. H. S., our lives became full of booth hard work and pleasure. Many new students now came into our midst who joined us in a spirit of work, fun, and comradeship. At first we tried to imitate the upper classmen, but soon we began to form individual ideas and opinions. We realized that we were growing up and must suc- ceed in our school work in preparation for becoming better citizens in the world of tomorrow. Our next few years were hard ones, yet with our studying we enjoyed many extra-curricular activities. We developed a keen interest in sports as we watched our classmates excel in various activities. We saw our football team win the conference championship two years in succession as we cheered them on to victory from the sidelines. As juniors, we planned a glorious junior-Senior banquet and dance and dreamed of the day when we would be graduating. And as our junior year drew to a close, we began to feel a deeper sense of school spirit and loyalty. Then time slipped by all too quickly and we were Seniors-the Class of '51. Many began to make plans for further schooling in various colleges while others looked forward to getting employment after gradua- tion. We tried to grasp each fleeting moment of our Senior year and hold it, but these moments, like the sands of time, slipped through our fingers. Yet even in passing, they left a vivid imprint on our memories, the thrill of our junior-Seniorg the feeling of im- portance of Class Day, and finally our graduation. Our hearts swell with pride and emotion when we think of these occasions which we have shared. Now we stand on the brink of a new day. The future lies before us, filled with uncertainty, yet we shall prove to those who have placed their conhdence in us that we can make a place for ourselves in the world, as the young men and women of tomorrow. The way will not always be easy, but with God's help we shall not fail.
