Senior n Jbfemof 2 '1 '1 l I I -1 s N I HWLJ nEn1uAT1uN To those who know thee not, no words can paint, And those who know thee, know all words are faintf' To one who personifies loyalty and cheerfulness: to one who has given her time, her energy, and her friendship to our advancement, to one who has shown us both in the classroom and on the campus the deep and rich significance of purposeful living: to one without whom our lives at Belmont High School would not be complete-we, the Class of 1942, dedicate this volume of the CLARION to a beloved teacher, Miss NELL HALL. MISS NELL HALL MR. H. SISK Superintendent When one speaks of B. H. S., it is immediately connotative of our Superintendent: and likewise, Mr. Sisk is suggestive of B. H. S. His individual encouragement, simple philosophy, high efficiency, and will to improve the standards of education in our schools-these have become so impressed upon our minds that this has become legendary among all who pass through the portals of Belmont High School. .,,,.,,. , Y, :9:,,,,.,,q,,7f.Y,, mt .. 4 ue F-.vw W - l .NISTHATIUN MR. PAUL H. NEAL Principal Mr. Neal is a master teacher, enthusiastic and inspiring. He is an able administrator, capable, and eflicient. He is a friend of youth, sincere and loyal. But, above all, he is one who has the courage and power to dream and the strength and tenacity of purpose to make his dreams a reality. While giving patient and careful attention to immediate problems, he is building for the school he visions+one of student self-determination where personality and character of each student is given fullest opportunity for development. , 4 iilitf la iQ,?' YU X v if f if .F O Mics. AUS'l'lEl.l.li ' J!As't el 'ove returning to Noah with the promising grebfl lc f. Mrs. Austelle came to us with an inexhaustible stfpply of understanding and encouragement. She sails Ythtough Latin and lirench with the same poise and grace. Miss Avtitei' Miss Avery makes duty a pleasure in Drama. She is the inspiration for the actors of tomorrow, and the staff of encouragement to those who feel defeated. She will always remain with us, in our hearts and in our minds. lVlRS. BULLARD lt does not take long for real ability to express itself. Although Mrs. Bullard is a new comer. her classes are rich in interest and constructiveness. Mli. BULLARIJ Mr. Bullard is one of the most active members of our faculty. teaching American History and Physical Ed. Coach- ing baseball, and sponsoring such organizations as the Monogram Club and Cheerleaders are among his many duties which have won him merit. MR. CASIHON A great lover of flowers, ligures and chemistry formulas. He has helped the student body greatly in planning pro- grams and in forming a student council. With our Facult lVllSS CASHWIELL She does not give her classes plain geometry alone: she presents it with a technicolor background of red hair and blue eyes. Among other services she handles splendidly the difficult oflice as Dean of Girls. lVlRS. DAlll2NllARD'l' This loyal teacher of science is loved and respected by all who know her. She takes great pride in starting the freshmen on the right foot each September. MISS HALL No figure is more in harmony with the spirit of B. H. S. than the combination of grace. wit, and charm. which personities Miss Hall. Her English and Economics classes will be among our most pleasant memories of school days. MR. HOURIQN The upward swing of a baton. the expectant faces before him are all a thrill for our beloved band leader. Not only director. he is our comedian. story-teller. and adviser. If his wish comes true. Belmont can boast of a championship band again this year. MR. HUNsUtiKtiR Coach is a newcomer to B. H. S. this year and is a splendid addition to our school and community--teaches science and manual training-lcnows how to coach foot- ball and is admired. not only by the boys of the foot- ball team, but by the student body for his knowledge and skill. MISS KINLAW Petite, delightful, attractive-Miss Kinlaw, our Journalism teacher and adviser of The Spy, has proved that there is much progress being made in our school paper this year by the tedious--but sincere work she has put forth. MISS MILLER Moving her tall erect stature about noiselessly our home economics teacher is readily becoming a familiar Hgure in B. H. S. Her violin rendition of Perpetual Motion pic- tures musically her industrious work with students. MISS MARGARET MURPHY An old Ilrench General was asked to describe his secre- tarial aide, he replied: He is a demon for work, an angel for cooperation, and a human being for understanding. B. H. S. may not be an armed camp, but we can safely compare Margaret with the old General's secretary. MR. NEAL One of the greatest and most discriminating tests for a leader is his ability to draw the best from each individual without letting the function or progress of the unit suffer. We all agree that Mr. Neal has succeeded brilliantly as an individual friend. a teacher of the group, and an inspir- ing principal of the student body. MR. NIMS Teacher of En lish. and an authority on History and I.atin, Mr, Nim is a conscientious and punctual worker among the su nts. VVorking always to help others, he is a valqgble ember of the faculty. MN' 'SQA 7-utslua MMA vp. ,V TYwJa-vi ' MRS. PAYNE Mrs. Payne is really not a pain for the time spent with her in class passes all too quickly. She has the won- derful ability of transferring her knowledge to her pupils. Because of her attractiveness and delightful manner she has won the love and friendship of each student in our school. MRS. RICHEY No assembly would be appropriate without Mrs. Richey who is responsible for our music. Always gay, friendly, and encouraging, we appreciate her presence. MRS. RING Embodying the serenity of the Library, the knowledge of its books and the ability of its system, Mrs. Ring is an ideal high school librarian. She not only works for the students but with them. MR. SELF Between teaching functions of negative exponents and factoring of binomials, Mr. Self sells candy and drinks at the school store. A young and competent instructor, his understanding and friendliness are far reaching and productive. MR. WOODAIQD B. H. S. has many things combined in this outstanding member of the faculty--a handsome basketball coach, history teacher. and a proud father of one of the mas- cots of the Senior Class.

Having produced such memorable plays as The Late Christopher Bean, Smilin' Through, Macbeth, and the Carolina Dramatic Association championship work, 'AA Sunny Morning, the Organization is steadily building onward and upward. Several bills of experimental one-acts have been produced including the very novel Submerged and Pink and Patches. The full length fall production was Ever Since Eve, a new play by the popular writing team, Colin and Clements. Not only giving an outlet for the talents of young actors and actresses, the club opens wide the Helds of stagecraft, lighting. and management without which no play could become a production.

Already in the background are such sparkling memories as the championship I rating at the national contest in Richmond, many successful concerts, the football season with its colorful pep meetings, parades, and maneuvers, the participation in festivities at the Duke- Davidson game, and Belmont's Christmas parade which was, incidentally. the first appearance of the band in its dazzling new uniforms. Unlimited credit should be given Mr. Houren for his faithful and energetic work with this organization. It was once said of Knute Rockne, immortal coach of Notre Dame, He takes a group of individual youngsters and batters, drives, and pleads them into one invincible machine. It is something of this spirit that gave birth and rearing to the Belmont High School Band. n John Ruskin was right when he said, When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.

Page S1.x'lLf-lozzz' QA Brief istmfy of the Senior Clan' Life is nothing but a series of educationsf' While our education or, strictly speaking, school days never cease, most of us look back upon our Belmont Public Schools as the center or organizer of a student's life of learning. It is the pivot upon which we base all experience and knowledge of life. Here we find the principles of organization, system, and teamwork so vital in any success. Thus we may conclude that this institution is a barometer of our entire life. The first stage, the grammar grades, is of course the basic and most essential to any further progress. In the year 1930 this class entered that stage through the doors of North, East, and Central Schools and unveiled a phase that would forever influence each member. We all remember so vividly our first days-days of anxiety, fear, and absolute helplessness. We took our first large dose of raw life. Settling down, we learned to read, write, speak and actually mingle among other people. These meetings were frequently, however, hostile and ended in brawls. School was not to take this out of our class for many years. The school taught us that we must accept superiors and the existence of superiority, not only from parents and family but from teachers and administration as well. While absorbing and utilizing these facts, the class learned its systematically presented lessons well. We learned to climb the trees of history, geography, and arithmetic. From the top summit of these we could view the coming of the year 1936 and with it the second stage-junior high. This was nothing for us but a combination of finishing school for the grammar grades and a preparatory laboratory for high school. Subjects branched' in complicated forms and our class was forced to plow the snowbank of a higher type of learning. Like- wise we found and eventually conformed to sterner and more strictly enforced rules. If the keen observer had studied our class then he would have also seen such little things as boys wearing ties or attempting to keep their shirt collars a little cleaner and smoother after recess, and girls combing their hair and proudly exhibiting new dresses. We were finding ourselves part of an active organization, we were working by a hard and fast system, and we were actually getting a true perspective on the relation of each human being to another. Life was not so bad after all. This carefree atmosphere was interrupted by the ominous rumbling of the year 1938. The class was given a diploma and sent into the darkness again. This third stage was met with the courage and perseverance gained in the past. The second year after entering this climax stage our class n-uoved into the beautiful new building. It was here we found that. having the elements of good conduct and self- willed and controlled work indelibly stamped upon our minds, we were the true pilots of our destination and it was our responsibility to attain and hold our goods. The faculty presented the material, and our job was to take whatever we saw fit. We were advised what specific fields of endeavor to enter and the best methods of preparing our bodies and minds for them. This stage concentrated and crystalized all our years and gave us the necessary information in how best to use the knowledge obtained from them. The past two stages shuffled the cards of our class into a smooth operating unit or deck. The third acted as the dealer, assorting the different members of our class into their various hands. Receiving them were such players as music, teaching, medicine, business, soldiering, and innumerable others. Regardless of the number or wide variety of hands we, the class, can be comforted by the fact that we all have the same back and belong to the same deck. lk lk lk lk all lk Provisions have been brought up, the artillery has opened its first salvo, the infantry is ready for the advance. The battle is joined. Now the real history will unfold. The class of '42 is now ready to test its education against the actual conditions of life.

Adequate in quantity and excellent in quality the illumination provided by the Illumination Engineering Society and Reading Lamp is SAFE and COMFORTABLE for reading.
