THE 194$ TflMMlWK ALTAMAHAW - OSSIPEE SCHOOL EDITOR Farrel Austin ASSOCIATE EDITOR Jeanne Crouch BUSINESS MANAGER Betty Jean Somers ADVERTISING MANAGER Mary Ross FACULTY ADVISER Mildred Coble FOREWORD Almost two years have passed since the first issue of the Tomahawk came off the press. Now we present to you, fellow students, the third edition of our annual, between whose covers you will find a complete record of all events of in- terest occurring during 1947-48. We ask you, therefore, to make this book one of your “priceless possessions” —not to be stored away for special occa- sions, but to be put in an accessible place as an eloquent reminder of the carefree and profitable years once spent in senior high. May you also, as individuals, up- hold the ideals which find expression in this volume. In it we have bound to- gether the past experiences which few of us will ever forget—experiences at our A. O.

F. Kernodle and Lydia Garrison, graduate of University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland, generous benefactor of the Altamahaw-Ossipee School, humble physician for the north central section of North Carolina, and modest friend of mankind, this year book of the Class of 1948 is gratefully and affectionately dedicated. The people of the Altamahaw-Ossipee community placed a memorial plaque in the school in memory of their beloved Doctor in 1944, bearing the follow- ing inscription: Charles Edward Kernodle, M.D. Born March 6, 1879 Died October 15, 1942 f. LIVED EARLY YEARS IN GUILFORD COUNTY Attained prominence as beloved Doctor in this community, was member of Bethlehem Christian Church. Expressed keen interest in educational advantages of the corqmunity as county commis- sioner. Chairman Local School Board, Member of Planning Com- mittee for Altamahaw-Ossipee School. This part of North Carolina is richer and better spiritually, intellectually, and physically because of the long years of unselfish labor which he so willingly gave. SCHOOL BOARD Mrs. C. E.

Gwynn T reasurer (Without Picture) ■ - t 5 K— A Short History of the Altamahaw-Ossipee Community The earliest record we have of our first educational development began when several small near-by schools became consolidated into the present Altamahaw-Ossipee School. The people wanted a centerly located school and decided it would be best to con- struct the school between Altamahaw-Ossipee on Highway 87. Since that time there has been many improvements in the school and community. Contributions by friends and parents: ball park, a principal's home, costing $8,000, added to the $10,000 beautifi- cation of the campus and at present plans are being made for a new auditorium and an enlargement in the teacherage with cen- tral heating. Education has come a long way and it is at present facing a more progressive height of learning through our knowledge a more advanced and modem ideal. Six hundred and fifty students are now enrolled at the school, coming from a population of over 2,500 in the school community. Industry began in this section soon after the War Between the States. The Altamahaw Mill was built in the late seventies. Since that time two mills have been constructed at Ossipee and one at the Hub. Leading manufactured products are hosiery, silk, nylon, lumber and grain. Forty to forty-five per cent of our people make their living on the farm. The agricultural section of this community is known chiefly for tobacco, small grain and dairy farmers. We are represented by six religious denominations. We wor- ship in thirteen churches, but we believe in only one God. -■ [ 6 ) - Typical Scenes of the Altamahaw-Ossipee School Area t 7 f - Principal’s Message to Class of 48 When you receive this year book, one of those memorable days which marks a significant turning point in the life and hopes of youth will be near. Your graduation from high school is both an end and a beginning—a summary and a prophecy. Your diploma gathers up and summarizes many of the most precious things of your life. As you pass from Alma Mater, voices out of the past and voices of the living will call you to make the most of yourselves—to give back to the people of this community and country the best that is in you to give. The Hebrews discovered the sovereignty of the one God; the Greeks made us aware of man as a person of noble proportions and creative ca- pacities; and modem man with his microscope, test tube, and telescope uncov- ered the world of nature, matter, and things. As you continue to grow and educate young, you will add to man’s advancement. The last week of this ending and this beginning of heritage and hope, your school gets ready to send you forth with resiliant bodies, skills of hand and brain, insights of mind and spirit, to do your part in homes, schools, offices, and the work places of the world toward making the earth in the spirit of the oath of the Athenian youth—“a better place than that which you turned over to me.” However far you may go up its highways, seaways, and airways of the world, the Altamahaw-Ossipee School will reach out across the years and miles to hold you tight to her great heart.

A Graduate’s Thought I cannot justly say of time, That I am soon, that I am late. That knowledge through these years is mine, That on this day I graduate. Because our life is made of time, This time has finally come to pass. And like the rest, I've stood the test— Though humbly—at last! You shall not don me scholarly. As I display this gown and cap. I'm far from what I want to be. Just like green hay, I'm drying out. I’ve aimed my future with the stars, I’ve planned it time and time again. I've stretched my day dreams oh so far, To reach out for ambition’s hand. I honor every teacher mine, I praise them for their patient work. I only hope that I can find. The thing that makes them so expert. Just as a mountain climber seeks— The top. I'm starting out with hope. The mountain peak—I've yet to reach, You've just supplied me with the rope. But Cod is knowledge more complete, Than all the wise of creeds and clans He makes us neither strong nor weak. He simply makes us man. So if I rise to noticed fame, Or if I fail to make the grade. What’s me won’t change—you'll find my name, The same. On Graduation Day! Grayce Lane Jones 14 CLASS PROPHECY It seems to me that the class prophecy is al- ways a means of flattering, complimenting and scattering everybody’s future dreams. We al- ways mix a portion of gossip, imagination and falsification into the pot and stir it well. In this case we, Billie Tickle and Grayce Lane Jones, are chief cook and bottle-washer! First, we pick up in our spoon, Vernon Barber. Oh, do we have to pick him up first? Well, who’s next? It’s none other than Judith Hensley, famed soothsayer and mind-reader of Altamahaw and vicinity. Miss Hensley has just received her last mail-order lesson. No. X 52, also as a premium, a crystal ball was enclosed with the lesson. Although her mail-order course and crystal ball proved unsuccessful. Miss Hens- ley still carries on general gossip. She has been able to keep up with every happening since our graduation and we will relate every happening exactly as she has told it to us. Vernon Barber keeps bobbing up so we have no other choice than that of telling you what he has amounted to. He has become the proud father of 13 children. Gilmer Barker has been a constant advisor to Vernon and has given him pointers on raising the family’s garden. Mr. Barker is the well known Agricultural Commissioner for Clover Garden, Altamahaw, Ossipee and a small section out toward Elon. The children are quite healthy from the good vegetables and excellent care rendered by Ver- non’s wife, the former Margaret Smith, but not long ago one of the three sets of twins took the measles. Dr. Pete Way, a quack doctor, was called immediately. He arrived promptly enough with his pretty amber-headed nurse, Lucy Mills, who almost forgot her sample First-aid kit, that she had won from a box top contest. It was a battle between life and death when the two, realized that Lucy’s vanishing cream wouldn’t do the job. Pardon us a moment—why did you ever think it could be true? We heard a big commotion, and went to the window to see what the affair seemed to be. It was a host of crusaders, led by Carlton the Courageous who said, “Step out, my friends, into a better world which some of you will never see . . . unless you do step out.” Ap- parently Mr. Bundy has left Mr. Murray in charge of his Man’s Advancing Civilization class again for old times sake, because the last news- cast has it that the principal is making his way to Washington, where he plans to head off Carlton’s plot to make the President sign a Mag- na Carta. When he arrives, we are sure he will be greet- ed by Jo Ann Bouldin, first woman president. Miss Bouldin sends out so many vetoes that it keeps her record-breaking stenographers, Emily Cantrell, Louise Dunevant, and Talmadge Wil- liamson, constantly on the go. What has happened to the Kernodle girls? Well, you remember Ann, who couldn’t keep her mind from wandering to Monticello. She is teaching the first grade and Annie Kate is teach- ing music at Monticello and Busick. Hazel is the lucky leading lady in Burlington's Little Theatre group. One of the most famous musicians of the class is Betty Jean Somers, who has toured Africa with her harp. Her most popular selectoin is “Bingle, Bangle, Bongle.” Billie Sue Sutton has become a missionary and travels with Miss Somers on some occasions, while Grace Troxler keeps rec- ords to be published in “Gulliver’s Travels.” Boyd Sutton is still an eligible bachelor, but he often visits with the Mr. and Mrs. William C. Purcell, the Eldridge Gilliams, Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Pruit and of course the Barbers that we mentioned earlier. Carolyn Crutchfield and Judith Baughn Hens- ley recently took an airplane trip and learned that Mary Jane Smith had become employed as an air hostess with the Altamahaw Airlines. You know something! I just turned around to find Billie Anne Tickle has deserted me. She left a note for me to tell you that she has at last gone to join her old flame, Carlton the Courage- ous. I suppose I may as well end the class prophecy by simply saying that I’m still all fagged out! I’ll never catch that man.

Our range in weight is from 96 to 160 pounds, with our total weight being 3,198 pounds. Our de- scendants were Scotch-Irish, German, French, Eng- lish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Turks, Greeks, etc. However, we are forced to believe that the ma- jority of our class was derived from an Indian race, because we’re always on the warpath. Hokav, now we’ums get’um on better subject, namely, heap big accomplishments, ugh! Our class has thrown a total of 2,000 paper air- planes, 500 erasers, and 2 tons of chalk. We wish to express our deepest sympathy to teachers lost in action. During tne thick battle of education, we also lost many of our brave comrades in arms. Some got married! WTien we were in grammar school, we were continu- ally wishing that we were in a high school brave’s shoes. So, upon entering the camp of the A-O In- dians, Big Chief Bundy awarded us 38 pairs of mocas- sins. “Freshie” became one of our most despised words, but we found it very honorable to be elected to offices on the Hub and for the first time to be eligible for basketball. We had two members on the Hub staff, and two members who represented us on the school baseball team. There were six members who played on the basketball team. Laboriously we worked for many moons. Then the sun came out and we were Sophomores. Our reser- vation migrated onward; and we lost but two scalps, while the others got ahead. For the first time in our life we became dramatic-minded and took part in the High School production, “It’s Tough To Be Bich.” Members of our class taking part were: Betty Jean Somers, Hazel Kemodle, Grayee Lane Jones. Grace Troxler, Billie Tickle and Lucy Mills. “Happy Daze,” we are Juniors with Miss Bondu- rant as Chief Squaw in charge of our advancing civili- zation. One of the highlights of our Junior year was our class play, “No Bride for the Groom.” Through careful planning and labor, we crowned our Junior year by honoring the Senior Class of ’47 at a banquet held in the school cafeteria. Mary Jane Smith and Emily Cantrell represented our class as attendants in our school’s annual May Day Festival Let us stress emphasis on our Junior year when Margaret Smith was elected May Queen by popular vote of the entire High School. During our first three years in High School, these fair maidens have represented us in the various May Courts: Margaret Smith, Mary Jane Smith, Emily Cantrell, Hazel Kemodle, Jeanne Crouch and Billie Sue Sutton. Through our desperate efforts at retreating and re- peating, we are at last completing our education at A-O High. Big Chief Bundy introduced us to Miss Bay, much intelligent squaw, heap interested in edu- cational developments, native of Hillsboro, and form- er girl friend of Chaucer. As the year progressed, we found it difficult to sever her interests from that of the noted periods in early English Literature which has been greatly enjoyed through her careful plan- ning and guidance. Again, she used her ingenuity in choosing a successful comedy for our Senior Play, “Betty Jane from Punkin’ Lane.” Our Senior year proved to be one with much en- tertainment. As a beginning, we enjoyed a weiner roast which was our first social get-together for the year. Next, we honored Miss Ray with a surprise birthday party at the teacherage. Our “big” event came on December 28, when Miss Ray invited us to her home in Hillsboro for an after-Christmas party. The wonderful time had by all can never be forgotten. As a final thought, we are looking forward to our social days at A-O High. For the first time a presentation of Handel’s Messiah was given in the school auditorium with the ma- jority of the Senior Class taking part. The anxious warriors from our tribe sought and won recognition by the High School and succeeded in fulfilling the offices thus far: Billie Tickle, President of Student Council; Gilmer Barker, Treasurer of Stu- dent Council; Carlton Murray and Billie Sue Sutton, Student Council Representatives; Jeanne Crouch, As- sociate Editor of Tomahawk; Grayee Lane Jones, Art Editor of Tomahawk; Betty Jean Somers, Tomahawk Business Manager; Grace Troxler, Tomahawk Edi- torial Staff; Pete Way, Editor of Hub; Hazel Ker- nodle, Sports Editor of Hub; Jo Ann Bouldin, Hub Circulation Manager; and Anne Kemodle, Hub Busi- ness Manager. The A-O Indians profited by having five members of our class on the basketball teams and two other members pepping up |he team by whooping up the war-cry with Chief Crutchfield officiating. Also active in the athletic program was Hazel Kemodle, manager of the girls’ team. Beauty was another lucky asset to Senior life. Jeanne Crouch was voted Queen of the annual May Day Festival and she was accompanied by her se- lected Maids-of-Honor, Mary Jane Smith and Billie Tickle. Anne Kemodle and Emily Cantrell were class attendants. Boyd Sutton, to be crowned King of May, was the only boy in our class ever to participate in a May Day. We have been safely led through the year by: President Gilmer Barker, Vice-President Pete Way, Secretary Ann Kemodle and Treasurer Jo Ann Boul- din. Marshals for the class of ’47 included Jeanne Crouch, chief, Betty Jean Somers, J. W. Liles, Ann Kemodle, Carlton Murray, and Pete Way. Marshals for vari- ous programs during our High School years were: Margaret Smith, Vernon Barber, Chief; Jeanne Crouch, Margie Kearns, Margaret Kearns, Billie Sue Sutton, David Bell, Mary Jane Smith, Gilmer Barker and Boyd Sutton. We presented a beautiful Acrosonic piano as our gift to the school. In ending our relations with the Altamahaw-Os- sipee School, quite by tradition, we have smoked the peace pipe, and we are now looking forward to a richer and more profitable life. Our reservation has pushed onward not in battle form, but in willingness to accept teaching and spread knowledge throughout the years to come.
