Somew ULIISS PIIIIPIIIICY Allow me to take you for a few minutes with me to the corner of a newspaper office where I am employed as a reporter. Before me lies a teletype sheet which is dated November 20, l955. My job is to condense the news. Hmm . . . this should make headlines! President of the United States, Jimmy Jumper, and his wife, Hilda Hale, first lady of the land, have iust returned from Germany, where the President engaged in a conference with Carl Brandt, head of the Army of Occupation. One of the problems discussed was the opening of a new commercial air route to Europe. Harold Duncan, president of Duncan Airlines, Inc., was quoted today as being hopeful that his contract would be accepted. Marjorie Lloyd, secretary to Duncan, disclosed that Carroll Thomas, head of the civil engineering department, had completed plans and specifi- cations for the proposed route. News from Broadway!

That boogie-woogie specialist, Harriet Cade, is featured with the Four Rocketts, Jolene Grant, Mina Moore, Betty Comer, and Bobbie Ray Coffelt, who have completed a two-week engagement at the Palace Theatre in New York. Wednesday night is left open since the management fears that practically everyone will be at the municipal auditorium attending addresses by Evelyn Worthington and Evelyn Wells, missionaries who have just returned from African fields.

Seam CLASS lll Tlllil To All of the Boys of the Class of '45 Now in the Armed Services of Our Country: Dear Boys: Just as our thoughts so often turn to you who are now widely scattered over the globe, we feel that your thoughts must often turn to your Alma Mater and to your own class of '45. So, as we turn through the pages of cur treasure chest of rrerriories we find your names and faces constantly appearing in the cherished scenes of the past five years. Do you remember, as we struggled through the seventh and eighth grades, how we envied the upper-classmen '? Of course we couldn't help noticing them, since we were right there with the high school students. At long last, however, and after adding to our group new faces from White Oak, Pineville, and Mountain Creek schools, we entered the ninth grade, our first year of high school, 115 strcng. That was in 1941. Probably the most important thing to us was the fact that Mr. Stewart, our new principal, brought our school up to a state accredited institution that year. We were the first freshman class to enter Red Bank High School under an accredited rating. Red Bank had its second football team in the '4l-'42 term. Three of our class made the team. Bobby Jumper was president of our class. ln the fall of i942 we really entered school with the idea of growing up. Na longer green freshmen, we took the dignified name of sophomores. Starting the year with Jimmy Jumper as president of our class and with Miss Thompson and Mr. McCoy as 'class sponsors, we sophomores began to take an active part in school affairs. Members of our class, you remember, became cheerleaders, maiorettes, and ioined the band and drill squad. We had seats on the Student Council and we were members of the Service Club and the Letterman's Club. We were proud that a sophomore girl, Joyce Ray, took the lead in the Varsity Glee Club operetta. We were really going up in the world! This some year Red Bank, still under the guidance cf Mr. Stewart, became a member of the Southern Association of Accredited Secondary Schools and Colleges. When we, the class of '45, became Juniors in the fall of l943, some of you boys were already serving on foreign soil, others of you were to leave during the year. Those of you who were with us at this time saw the election of Helen Wolfe, first girl of our class president. Bobby Jumper, now in the Navy, made all-city, all-state, and all-southern with his football prowess. Several of our class were chosen for membership in the National Honor Society. Red Bank broke into the circle of the ten-best football teams in her class in the state, a fitting climax to the work of Coach McCoy, who was soon to leave for the Navy. iConcluded on page 783 i' ir 'lr 'k ir 'A' 'A' 'k Page 20
