@he and Fiddler— 1928 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF NEW HANOVER HIGH SCHOOL WILMINGTON, N. C. Printed By WILMINGTON STAMP PRINTING CO, Wilmington, N. C Page 2 NEW HANOVER HIGH SCHOOL EE LOTTE O ALL OF US, this year of 1928 will always stand forth in our recollections as one of the most important of our lives; for twelve Nee years have we come up through the school system together, and now we are to part. ey ye Some of us will go into business life now, 7 while the others will go off to college; of the first group, few will enter the same work, and the second group will enter many different colleges. It is truly the parting of the ways—the disbanding of our beloved class. It is a heart-rending ceremony, but nev- ertheless, an inevitable fact. Therefore, to lessen our sorrow, we create this book, which will forever keep us, in an abstract way, linked together. When the years roll by and the silver threads outnumber the gold, we can climb into the attic, find our Annual, blow the dust from it, and in its pages again live our high school days. The veil of forgetful- ness will be lifted, and by the book’s contents we can “wander again through Memory Lane.” For this pur- pose have we exerted all our efforts. —THE STAFF.

Memories of °28 When hours have passed, and days turned into years; When each of us has had our fight with fate; When memories, for some, mean sobs and tears, We'll smile, and think of good old ’28. Four years we shared and chummed along together, To make and give the best on any field, Always one goal, one infinite endeavor: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Work had its joy, play had its work; And both had places, each in turn, To keep our bodies trim, our minds alert, That we could learn to live, and live to learn. So then, in many reminiscent musings, We'll think of days spent at old N. H. S. A happy smile will come, of its own choosing, And thrill us with a spirit of happiness. By GEORGE DANNENBAUM.

LS A ‘a 7 Sees = ay gee ; : . =, history The other night I had such a funny dream that I just must tell someone; and, since you can’t help yourself, I guess you’re the victim. I found myself, with dozens of others, piled in a rattle-trap Ford, the body of which I discovered, upon peering through the much be-lettered surface, was white. Girls and boys clung two and three deep over the outside; so, in spite of the fact that I nearly developed curvature of the spine in attempting to do so, I could only make out two and one-half of the red inscriptions, namely: “N. H. H. S.,” “Class of ’28,” and “We’re out after—.” Here my sight failed me; so I had to be content to go on what seemed to me a wild goose chase. At first our conveyance bumped and jerked as Fords will (I beg your pardon—as Fords used to) but after a few bumps we seemed to get settled and go more smoothly. This calm was cruelly broken when Mr. Auto proceeded to skid into a puddle and pre- sent us with a mud mask worthy of any beauty specialist. When I tried to wipe off my new dress, I found “eighth period” written there in dirty water. The harder i serubbed the harder it stuck; so I presumed they were indefinites. Suddenly up ahead loomed a smooth stretch in the road, and over it we sped on the wings of the Ford. I couldn’t imagine why everybody seemed so excited during this part of the journey until I happened to catch the words “Football” and “Chapel Hill” in their conversation. Then—well, who wouldn’t understand that? I was beginning to wonder why I was doing all of this meaningless riding when all of a sudden Louise, who sat, or rather was suspended, next to me, jumped and shouted, “There it is right ahead.” This seemed to excite everybody, and dozens of voices called, “Step on it!” I was entirely prepared to do anything from capturing a bear to digging up hidden treasure; but, strain my eyes as I might, I could find neither. Imagine my surprise to find the object of so much attention was what first appeared at that distance to be a bone tied around the middle with an orange and black ribbon. I was informed that this bone (or, as I later discovered, diploma) could be very valuable in life if we could only overtake it. This, at first seemingly easy task, proved very difficult, as the diploma ran rapidly along the road in front of us in a very peculiar manner. Over all sorts of roads we traveled in pursuit of this, sometimes gliding as swiftly as the wind and sometimes bumping so that I wondered which got the worst end of the bargain, the top of the Ford or the top of my head. Once, just as we seemed to be almost on top of the object of our chase, we hit a bump that, in addition to nearly scar- ing us to death, hurled us straight into a ditch half-filled with water. The frogs, either because they were mad at us for invadin g their realm, or because they were pleased to see us in such a predicament, chided us with their eternal “Flunkety-flunk-flunk-flunkety- flunk.” When at last we succeeded in getting out of reach of their penetrating voices, we attacked the problem of overtaking the diploma with renewed vigor. Our friend, the Ford, seemed to understand and took us as fast as four tired wheels can. To get to the point, we at last succeeded! To describe the scene that followed would be almost like describing the sidelines at a championship football game. I grab- bed Louise around the waist and shouted for joy. Just as the poor girl began to pant for breath, Mother woke me up with, “Will you please stop shouting and either stop squeezing my good pillow in two or explain your sudden fondness for it?” Page 48 aera = a Page hh + Be 92 BO Statistics Friendliest— VIRGINIA BELLAMY F.

But for me, the long hours of silent resting on a high white bed, were no comfort. I detested it, and even now the recollec- tion embitters my mind. There I was, lying flat on my back, counting the fly-specks on the ceiling, while my wound healed. Believe me, that’s worse than trial by fire, by water, or anything else! re The nurses did their best to amuse me, but I did not appreciate their efforts. They tried jokes, checkers, tiddle-de-winks, and what not, but these soon wearied me. At last, when I had almost given up hope, a truly kind friend sent me a present. I eagerly unwrapped it and was satisfied and delighted to find a book entitled, “Ask Me Another,” Tenth Edition. I begged the nurse to ask me one, and then another, immediately. She complied, and soon we were both infatuated. She popped conundrums at me in all her spare moments, and I learned to love this book as I had never loved another. All the questions seemed so easy, but my answers never agreed with those of the book. I think the ones I liked best of all were headed: QUIZ ON WILMINGTON, N. C.

Page 54 i } F - 4 eww LL. 4. sy . i a way be = S cm C football The 1927 football season was, by far, the most successful in the school’s history. Year after year, the Orange and Black have entered the State Championship Series in quest of the state title only to lose out after a game fight; year after year, we met some of the greatest teams in the state and beat them, to advance on in the elimination series only to finally go down in heart-breaking defeat before some team just a little better. In 1926, we fought our way to the semi-finals and played Sanford’s great eleven at Fayetteville for the eastern championship. This was the most heart- breaking game in our memory; for three quarters, we played them to a scoreless tie, having the upper hand throughout the first half. But again we were to be disappointed; Sanford’s heavier line opened the way for a lone touchdown in the last few minutes, and we were eliminated 7-0. Nevertheless, we forgot our disappointment and began to await the 1927 season. Through the summer months cur minds dwelt on the fast- approaching season; we felt that it held the realization of our dreams, and our intuition was not wrong. Coach Bob Black slowly but carefully molded a great machine around the letter-men of 1926, and, as the season progress- ed, we advanced on through the contest toward our goal. “On to Chapel Hill!” became our battle cry. Finally, we stood on the threshhold of success. Raleigh was beaten at Fayetteville, and we were Champions of the East. The week from the Saturday we triumphed over Raleigh until the day we went to Chapel Hill seemed months. Our anxious minds would have nothing to do with stud- ies; the deciding game to be played at Chapel Hill was our only thought. The day came, a day never to be forgotten! There, as a cold December wind blew and the freezing rain-drops beat upon us, we stood and watched the greatest high school team North Carolina ever produced carry our col- ors, the beloved Orange and Black, to victory. Our dream of countless years came true. Greensboro was beaten, and the Wildcats were Cham- pions of all North Carolina! To no individual on the team does even the least bit of glory go; all the glory goes to the team as a whole—eleven men who learned to sacrifice personal glory for the welfare of the team as a whole. “Fighting Bob” Black took them, raw and egotistical, and taught them what teamwork could do; he made them forget themselves as individuals and learn to act as a part of a machine, a mighty football engine, irresistible and crushing as it marched on to the pinnacle of Football’s throne. From end to end, there was no weak spot in that powerful line; each man was indispensable and unbeatable in his position. Perfect co-opera- JEWELL BREMER CoAacH Bos BLACK MAy ROBINSON SNIPES MoorE Lf ne Ky, SAND “FIDDLER. tion between the men made it possible for the Black and Orange to go to the final game without being scored on, a feat seldom accomplished. Neither Greenville’s devastating aerial attack nor Raleigh’s side-step artists could penetrate the untouched goal line; only mud, rain, and two bad breaks could turn the well-nigh impossible trick for Greensboro. May and Jewell rank as two of the state’s best tacklers. These two worthies permitted few opposing backs to gain on the usually successful off-tackle plays. Frank (Hank) Jewell developed his tackling abilities by grappling with Ford trucks and other small dummies around the garage. We remember “Hank” not only for his great tackle work but also for his genial spirit, which was so apparent at practice day after day. Harold May’s big frame, carrying 173 pounds of solid weight, stopped many “irresistible” off-tackle smashes by opponents and also cut many an end run off before it was started well. Harold, one of the best all-round boys we ever met, made the All-State second team because of his stellar work all the season. At guards, Coach Bob had two veterans of the ’26 campaign back on the job. Elmer (Baby) Snipes and Ennis Robinson proved a bulwark of strength with their experience gleaned from the year before. ‘‘Baby” put his firm 193 pounds in a spot and any amount of pushing, driving, and bucking could not move him back an inch. He was there to stay or move forward, usually doing the latter. Ennis, with his lesser avoirdupois, was quite a contrast to his mate on the opposite side of centre. Not only in stature, but also in playing was he a marked contrast. “Baby” was a defensive guard, Ennis an offensive one; where “Baby”? was immovable, Ennis was breaking through an op- posing line. We remember Ennis for his habit of sifting through and throwing an opponent for quite a loss. Two good guards and true! At centre, the Wildcats had a man who takes his place among the state’s leading pivot men; Bill Jarman, playing his first year on the varsity, played beyond the fondest hopes of any of us. No matter whom he was lined up against, no matter how great his opponent’s reputation, Bill gave not an inch, but instead, always opened a wide hole for his own men to go through. Bill took all any man had to give and then outplayed him to a finish. As we think back over the season, we cannot recall a single instance that he made a bad snap to the Wildcat backfielders. That’s some bouquet for any centre, but Bill deserves it all. At ends, the Orange and Black boasted the best pair of flankmen in the state; Charlie Farmer and Earle Beale, both tall and scaling around 155, were the object of much favorable comment. These two warriors permit- iS 41998 oe. = —_—— — Sw eS Page 57 BURNETT (Captain) HUFHAM BEALE RALEIGH GAME J ARMAN BRITTAIN FARMER Syne — WA iy Ns so Ul (, Glee ee ped pli = N in eS MB a AN � i ai S e yf ° 3 e Ze . . ty ted gains on end runs to total practically zero. Earle, a sophomore, played his first year on the varsity and lived up to our expectations. After grabbing a pass from apparently nowhere, Charlie’s fleet legs carried him for many a nice sojourn through enemy territory, usually ending up behind the goal. His fleet-footedness gave him the state cham- pionship at 100 yards in track in 1926 and, incidentally, caused him to be the fastest man on the gridiron in ’27. At quarterback, Coach Bob put Jimmy Moore, a reliable sub during ’26. Since the quarter position is generally regarded as the most important, we were all a bit anxious at the beginning of the season about having an “un- known quantity” there, but our anxiety was soon relieved by Jimmy’s first performances. On every play during the entire season, we think Jimmy used fine judgment; his keen intuition of finding the enemy’s weak places and good mixing of plays played an important role in our achieve- ment. The halfback posts were ably handled by “Shunie” Brittain, a veteran of ’26, and Theodore Bremer, the school’s all-round man. The blonde Brit- tain, with his spectacular gains at critical moments, made himself one of the idols of the crowd. Opposing teams always kept one eye on him, no matter what the play was, and always found his stiff-arm the source of much discomfort. Bremer’s uncanny ability to follow his interference and dart through any possible hole always made a gain certain when he carried the ball. “Teddy’s” perfect control of his muscles mark him as one of the flashiest halfbacks of the season. Last, but possibly most, important, comes the scrapping captain, Rich- ard L. Burnett, known to most human beings as Dick. It has been said that the Wildcat eleven earned the glory as a whole and no individual stands forth; nevertheless, if we had to select the outstanding man, it would be Dick. His fighting, never-wavering spirit kept the boys “in there” all the time; his gritty, never-relenting playing made that line hold at moments when to weaken meant defeat. His consistent plunges through opposing lines and superb defensive playing earned him the full-back post on the All-State second team, and we cannot help but think that he deserved even more. Space will not permit us to review the season as we would like to do, but forever in our memories will remain: Dick’s driving the length of the field to break the scoreless tie against Dunn; the two sensational runs of “Shunie” in that hectic Raleigh game; Jimmy’s pass to Dick that netted the Eastern Championship; and the whole team’s fighting there in “the mud and scum of things” at Chapel Hill when Greensboro was licked and a Oe t eS ————————— =a Page a9 the State Championship was set high in the portals of the Black and Orange.

To prove my statement, I simply present to you: The New Hanover High School Boys’ Basketball Team, 1928 champions of all North Carolina. After seeing their pigskin brothers conquer the football world, these “knights of the basketball court” set forth on a quest of their own, and after encountering and overcoming many obstacles in the forms of oppos- ing teams, won the fair maid and were crowned monarchs of all they sur- veyed from the mountains to the sea. Unlike the knights of old, these warriors of the Orange and Black met no dragons, witches, or magicians; instead they encountered precisely the same enemy that Don Quixote did, only in a different form, the wind. That worthy knight fought a wind-mill; our “boys so bold” jousted with Dur- ham’s White Whirlwind, Raleigh’s Purple Hurricane, Beulaville’s Blizzard, Southport’s Sea-Breeze, and last, but probably most entertaining, Char- lotte’s Gentlemen Hornets. Ah me, my friends, ’twas indeed a perilous quest these lads did make from the steadfast portals of Castle Hanover; but they returneth right safely with their goal, the fair maid Championship and gave unto our ae | Sr J le aN 107 Or ee ‘oan Ss, Page 61 hearts great joy. Naturally, the most interesting adventure that befell them was the titanic climax in the Tin Can. Now, in case ye knoweth not what the Tin Can be, come closer and listen well to my faint whisper: There is a place in this fair land of ours known as Chapel Hill. The witches tell us that here is located a vast college, inhabited by young men seeking knowledge. Always have we heard of their gymnasium, and this gymnasium is the Tin Can of which I relate. It has been the old and ancient custom for many years that the greatest knight of the West meet here the greatest knight of the East. This gra- cious year of 1928 saw Charlotte triumph in the West (and in the West only!) and ye olde New Hanover in the East. It was thus that our knights went forth to joust, and oh what a joust it was! The Charlotte Hornet and the Wilmington Wildcat met in the Tin Can, so there was quite a‘racket. The first half of this argument ended with honors even, the score being ten all. Then the learned magician Harriss put a few bugs concerning Hornets in our knights’ ears; and what he said during those few moments of rest is nobody’s business. When the third quarter began, it was quite evident that the Wildcats had grown wilder or had taken a very excellent anti-toxin against hornet- stings; and when it ended, it was a foregone conclusion, for the third period found us ahead. Our knights reverted to their defensive tactics in the final stanza and pierced the heart of the Hornet to the tune of 27-21. This gave us two athletic championships in one year, a feat accomplished only once before by a North Carolina high school. In mentioning these warriors triumphant, we shall begin with him who meant most to the team, Coach Harriss. Mr. Harriss gave his time and knowledge to the school every day and instilled into the boys the same idea and spirit that carried the football team to the top—team-work. Without team-work, no group of stars, no matter how excellent they are, can succeed. We had a very fine bunch of candidates out for the team, but we would not have triumphed without Mr. Harriss. I speak of the team as knights, then, to be in accord with this statement, Mr. Harriss is the magician, who drew from his books of witch-craft and experience the for- mula that produced the championship. Next in order comes the ‘‘captain courageous,” Sir Jack Ohlsen. This knight, dubbed ‘‘SSwede” in years gone by, hails from far distant climes and came to us only recently. Nevertheless, he brought with him fire and en- thusiasm and filled his men with it. What ninth periods mean to the pupil, “Swede” meant to the team—the thing that made it work. At this point, we abolish order, for the rest of the team is on an equal basis; I approach the forwards, Earle Beale, James Moore, and Jurgen = = Ss: (ones (eis TS aw meson Bes Gee eee Page 62 MOooRE GRAINGER HAAR BLACK—TROTT—H ARRIS OHLSEN (Captain) JONES uc Haar. These boys had quite a battle for the forward posts, Jimmy and Jurgen never definitely permitting the other to gain the right one, though Earle soon obtained the left. We remember Earle for his many neat shots from the side-line; we remember Jurgen for his “crip-shots,” and we re- member Jimmy for his “Carmichael specials.” Jimmy is also the worthy who, in the final game at Chapel Hill, scored while sitting on the floor; no joking, that actually happened! The “knights of the guard’. are Sir Theodore Bremer and Sir Harold May. These two artists are the reason our opponents scored so little; their guard work was one of the sensations of the state series and marked them plainly as being of all-state calibre. We recall Bremer for his flashy break- ups and dribbles, while Harold’s slow, smooth stride and sure shots linger in our minds. Our chat would not be complete if we omitted any factors in our suc- cess, therefore we mention Sir Thomas Grainger and Sir Daniel Jones. These two stars, powerful in their own light, had the misfortune of shining at a time when five suns were in the firmament; nevertheless, we realize the value of Tom and Dan and remember their part in the achievement. After all, “a team is no stronger than its substitutes.” Below we present an account of the various jousts, tournaments, ad- ventures, and battles of our knights of the court: BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT AT CHICAGO, ILL. .5.—60-19—Maysville N.H.H.S. was rated the eighth best .5.—28-21—A lumnae team in the United States. .§.—39-28—Elizabethtown (5. —26514==AlleStars eee .H.S.—17-33—Grand Forks, N..

Neverthe- less, the dangerous task has fallen to my lot, and, having no over-amount of wisdom in feminine character, I look to the aftermath of this with little relish. And yet the task is not so hard since it concerns our girls, for the team has made a very creditable showing. It is true that they did not go through their season without a few reverses, but when we consider the unusually hard schedule they faced, only pride and admiration fill us. Though they lost one or two games, they won the satisfaction of realizing they had up- held the true New Hanover spirit and conducted themselves like ladies. So, if their minds are at peace on that score and the school remembers them with such pride, what matter a few defeats? The team this year was under a new regime of coaching, Miss Lucille Sasser succeeding Miss Virginia Walsh, who found it impossible to con- tinue the work this season. Miss Sasser gave freely of her time and ex- perience and molded from a rather green squad a very fine machine. The squad was also benefited by frequent visits from Miss Walsh. Alice Taylor, a forward of no mean reputation throughout this section of the state, was elected captain, and the action could not have been wiser. For two years a player of extraordinary skill, ‘Captain Alice” imparted, not only her knowledge to her “men,” but also her pep and enthusiasm. Her habit of scoring consistently throughout every game added materially to our success. Marion Myers and Henrietta Hay complete this fine scoring trio. Marion, a good all-round athlete, was especially quick on her feet and handling the ball; to watch her fine floor-work was always a pleasure. Henrietta, calm, steady, sure, was possibly highest scorer for the season; we cannot recall ever having seen her miss her famous “crip-shot.” The other fifty per cent of the team, Ruth Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Catherine Lacy, were equally one hundred per cent basketball players. These excellent guards always gave splendid accounts of themselves; only when their opponents had unusual heighth did our “three guardsmen’’ per- mit the aforesaid to score. Ruth, besides being a steady, reliable player, was also the efficient manager of the team; “Lib” Taylor is good not only in basketball but also in all other sports; Catherine played her first year | on the varsity this season and acquitted herself well. She is the only one of the six who returns next year; what will the school do without Alice, Marion, Henrietta, Ruth, and “Lib’’?

CT rack Track, though the youngest sport in our school, has made rapid head- way since its inauguration a few years ago and now holds quite a promi- nent position in our athletics. The early attempts to build up good teams were handicapped somewhat by the inexperience of the material, but last year was marked by much success. Dave Sinclair, who trotted his stuff for Carolina not so long ago, took over the coaching last season and produced a good team. His thorough knowledge of the sport and his understanding of the men provided the means of giving the sport the impetus it now has. What Dave doesn’t know about track is equivalent to what Miss Struthers doesn’t know about mathematics, so you see that Dave sure knows his track. This year’s squad is not only the largest ever to report for practice but also the most promising. Its captain, the right honorable Charles Farmer, occupies quite a position in high school track circles by virtue of his last season performances. This bit of “greased lightning” set the state record for the 220 yard dash and tied the record for one hundred yards at 10.1 seconds. Pretty fast lad, eh? There is every reason to believe that he will do even better this season, having already gone the hundred in 10 sec- onds flat at practice. When one takes a stand on the field in expectation of watching Charlie practice, one comes away sadly disappointed, for one has not seen Charlie practice—he merely heard a low hum pass him and is informed later that it was Charlie going by at half speed. Other veterans to report this year were: EH. T. Hancock, a lad who fin- ishes about one yard behind Charlie in the dashes; Bob Bennett, a middle- distance runner and also a jumper; Bill Rankin, high-jumper extraordinary who, in early practice, has broken the state record; and Herbert Lynch, broad jumper and mid-distance man. Promising ‘“‘rookies” are: Robert Dannenbaum and “Bubber” Womble, dashers; William Atkinson, middle-distance contender; Jasper Parker, mile-runner; Johnny Kuhlken and Earl Robinson, jumpers; Frank Smith, an unusually good hurdler, and Herbert Baucom and Strat Donnell, good at anything. Though not under the class of “rookie,” but reporting for his first time is “Swede’”’ Ohlsen, a cracking good man from ’way out in Peoria. Many great things are expected of “Swede,” who, by the way, captained the basketball team to the state championship. We are sorry that we go to press before the track season opens, but it is fairly safe to say that they will make quite a rumpus in state meets this year, and we would not be at all surprised if they, too, “bring home the bacon.” Ne fis ep pe SS elledtthe etn 1925 Ores, ps Page 67 er ri ft Page 68 ca aww i= QQ a —— = = {.—™ a1I928) 2 3 fale elie Ran es Page 69 PP oe ae: 4 2 N ORCHESTRA So much has been said of our Orchestra that there is not much left to say, except that we know we have the finest Orchestra in the state.

NOT MOUNTAINS Many a man seeking a position has tripped over a detail—failure to have his shoes shined, trousers pressed—failure to wear a starched collar.

Many institutions use stationery and printed matter that do not reflect credit on their business nor create a good impression for their merchandise. Let us do your printing and it will be right.
