LN MEMOQa ON SIX CONTINENTS, on the seven seas, on the far-flung islands of the world, and in the air over all, many, many graduates and former students of Asheboro High School are struggling valiantly to carry the Stars and Stripes, along with the banners of the other United Nations, to ultimate victory over the enemies of civilization. A fine record our boys are making in the titanic struggle against tyranny. So far as we know, only three A. H. S. boys have made the supreme sacrifice in this war. Private Worth Copple, of the United States Marine Corps, was mentioned in last year's annual as having lost his life in the Solomon Islands, October, 1942. T. J. Rierson, a former student, in the United States Navy, was also listed in the 1943 annual. The third A. H. S. boy to give his life in World War II was Clarence Rae McRae, who was killed in the accidental crash of an Army plane, January 3, 1944. Rae was President of the Class of 1940. He entered the University of North Carolina in the fall of the same year and remained a student until April, 1942, when he left to enlist in the United States Air Forces. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant in February, 1943, the young officer was sent to Wendover Field as an Instructor in Navigation. At the time of his death he was being transferred to another airfield. While Rae was in high school, his —goed mind, fine character, and win- ning personality made him popular with both students and faculty. Dean House, of the University of North Carolina, said that Rae was one of the finest and most promising young men he knew anywhere. Now we feel a solemn pride in these young men who have given their all on the altar of their country. We are also immensely proud of those who are still living and fighting for the right. Our hopes and prayers are all with them. LIEUT.

CARPENTER Superintendent Principal Superintendents Message ALONG WITH THE GREETINGS that I bear to the student body of Ashe- boro High School, there is a deep desire that the days that lie ahead may bring to each member of the group worth while tasks, wholesome recreation, and an abiding faith in God and man. It is my belief that a life characterized by these qualities will find, in the midst of the be- wilderment of today, the secret that will mean true happiness in the new world of tomorrow. May the secret be yours.

Sa CIWS S Isls TORY FOUR YEARS AGO, on a fine autumn morning, there trooped into the auditorium of “Old Asheboro High” 202 bright faced youngsters. We didn’t know exactly what to expect, but we had worked seven long years to enter those portals. Some of the upperclassmen insisted on calling us “‘those green little freshmen.” Just because of the fact that we couldn’t find our classes and were scared too stiff to move in Miss Moffit’s study hall, there was no reason to say we were green. Yet every time we tugged at some dignified Senior’s coat tail and asked him to tell us, please, where we belonged, he would point his finger and say, “In there, greenhorn.”’ When the year ended, the Sen- iors had left off their adjectives and were merely calling us “those Freshmen.” Our Sophomore year wasn’t very eventful. We went to ball games and supported the teams with lusty yells. Not wanting to disappoint the upper- classmen, we lived up to the name of “‘silly Sopho- mores.’ We grinned behind our hands, giggled behind the backs of open books, and made bright remarks about the Seniors we saw holding hands and making eyes at each other in study hall. Then one Monday morning the ‘“‘silly Sophomores” weren't quite so silly as usual. The news of Pearl Harbor made us settle down and think seriously for the first time. Pearl Harbor, of course, made necessary many changes. We lost several teachers to the Armed Forces and saw new courses added to help prepare for the tremendous task awaiting us. Our Junior year was filled to the brim with activities of all kinds. We were now considered upperclassmen and as such exercised our rights. Some really did honest-to-goodness work. They were rewarded with report cards that they weren't afraid to show to Dad. It was that year that Miss Lassiter left us. We saw her go with a feeling of sadness, but felt we were indeed fortunate in getting Mr. Carpenter to take her place. After much consideration and careful thought, we decided that our leaders would be Earl Miller, President; Porter Pritchard, Vice-President; Myrtle Richardson, Secretary; and Lewis Campbell, Tréas- Mier, The Beta Club invited those who had by some means managed to make A’s and B’s to become members. We didn’t mind being laughed at when we came to school dressed in the fashion the old members of the club ordered. The next year we knew we should have the pleasure of giving orders. The months wore on, and we sat in the stream of education. Some got soaked, while others failed to get even damp. Every one seemed to think we should entertain the Seniors. The Seniors especially thought so. To obtain money for the big celebration we gave a play entitled: ““Mama’s Baby Boy.” The cast was made up of Earl Miller, Wanda Trogdon, Forrest Bray, Clarice Brown, Juanita Stone, Myrtle Rich- ardson, Audrey Georges, Bobby Routh, Carolyn Cranford, Vivian Walker, and Therrel Brown. With the money made on the play we bought material to dress up the gymnasium. After weeks of work, we decorated it with lovely spring flowers, a summer house, a stone wall, a peach orchard, and a pine grove. At last the big night came. The girls arrived in colorful dresses and the boys endured neckties. With dancing, play- ing games, drinking punch, and doing various other things, the evening was made an enjoyable one. The last days of the year were drawing nearer. The Seniors regretted having to leave but were comforted to know there was a fine class ready to take their place. The fourth and last year has arrived. For our officers we have chosen Joe Lewallen, President; Joe Bulla, Vice-President; Myrtle Richardson, Secretary; and Max Nance, Treasurer. Since it is our last year in Asheboro High, we are de- termined to make it the happiest. Books, we must sh-Hi-Lite confess, are given less attention than in the previous three years, while ball games and parties largely take their place. Mr. Turner left us this year to go into essential war work. Again good fortune is ours. We were able to secure Mr. McLeod for our Superintendent. There are a few of our boys who won't be here to graduate with us. Our loss has been Uncle Sam’s gain. Forrest Bray, the handsome “guy” that made all the girls swoon, left for the Navy after Christmas. Lewis Campbell, Harold McRae, Robert Carlton, Irvin Comer, Jack Zachary, Pierce Thorpe, Pete Hill, and Truman Pritchard are now in the Armed Forces. Amid all the excitement there is a tiny, sad feel- ing that grows and grows as the year wears on. We know that all too soon we shall arrive at that cross road where everyone will go his separate way. That little feeling of sadness we try to push aside as we have people write nice things in our annuals and enjoy all the parties given in our honor. The little feeling grows to a big feeling as our days in Asheboro High become numbered. At last we hope to find ourselves with a divloma in our hands. This is the goal for which we have worked eleven years. With a feeling of both gladness and sadness we shall walk down the hall and out the door for the last time. Imagine our surprise when that familiar, “Shut the door, please,’ doesn’t fol- low us out. Happenings in Asheboro High away back in 1944 will make wonderful tales to relate to our grandchildren.

In the opening game Asheboro held Sanford scoreless the first half but finally fell, 20-0. On the following week the Comets fell to a strong Statesville eleven, 32-0. The Comet game with Mills Home was can- celled, thereby leaving us idle before beginning our road trip of three night games with Kan- napolis, Concord, and Albemarle. The Comets were defeated by those three and then lost to the powerful Lexington Club, 62-0. The Comets then journeyed to Mt. Airy, home of the Conquerors of Lexington, where they played their best game of the year but lost, 19-6. Asheboro finally got the long awaited victory in a hard fought battle with Thomas- ville, 20-7. The next week the Comets lost to Children’s Home, 33-0, and finished the sea- son by losing to Gray High, 42-0. This was the toughest schedule in the history of Asheboro High School.

Coach Cheek built the team around four lettermen from last year’s squad. The Blue Comets made a bad beginning by losing two straight games, but they hit their stride by winning ten straight ones. They lost a heartbreaker to Statesville, 20-22, but won their next game, ending their regular season with eleven victories and three losses. In the Piedmont Tournament Asheboro was ousted in the opening round by the Thomasville five, 31-37. Asheboro breezed through the Randolph County Tournament by beating Coleridge, Randleman, and Ramseur. In the game that decided the County Championship Asheboro nosed out Ramseur in an extra period, 18-16. This was a hard fought contest and an impressive victory for the Blue Comets. 1944 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Ashebotos | 3) a ee ee ee ee el 4G ra yas Chapel arama acme acateny cnn nn ee oO) Asheboro... “ . 6 Ue eee 1G Ramselit eevee eee ee es) JAShebOrO ime eee unt un eee rary kl yit otn 2) Asheboror. 4 eeepc te ee ee Grays Chapel ae gre ee nO Asheb6ro% ow ke ek Trinity Se ee ee Asheboro. 7 =e 1S) bs Le ee ee | —Colenid cs Cara ee ee LO INANENOR) , 5 o0 9 o 4 oo 0 «o 0 Beb==Senveronse ete Tan” Seen LS Asheboro-a) ate ace ee ee ree?

At the beginning of the season many of the girls were without experience, but they practiced faithfully and the team turned out with fair success. Miss Monroe proved to be a fine coach and gave her best to the improvement of the team. Bulla, the top scorer for the team, will be back next year, and great things are expected of her. Brower was the runner-up in the scoring honors, and much is expected of her. Miller, the center forward, will be back in 1945. We lose Austin, a dependable player, who handled the ball very well. The guards showing a very good floor game were Lambe, Lambert, Thomas, and Hooper. Out of this number we lose Lambe and Lambert, who will be missed very much. Lambert was a very successful captain throughout the year. This year’s team had few reserves to back them up. All of these reserves with the addition of this year’s varsity will be greatly needed next season. Although we are losing three players by graduation, we hope to have a successful season in 1945. 1944 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Asheboro . . 16—Gray’s Chapel . 52 Asheboro. . . 26—Randleman . 5 88) Asheboro. . 13—Ramseur. . 5 AIS Asheboro. . 45—Franklinville 5 Asheboro . . 27—Franklinville 2 65) Asheboro . . 27—Seagrove. . . @B Asheboro. . 21—Gray’s Chapel 2 25 Asheboro. . 31—Ramseur. . 5 Asheboro. . 43—Trinity .. 4 Asheboro . . 27—Randleman .
