DOROTHY INGLE MCGINNIS FOR the past three years seniors at Berryhill have been rendered steadfast guid- ance in the person of one of their teachers. The principles of sterling character and honesty advocated by her will not soon be forgotten by those under her leadership. Many are her reputable achievements. but one which is particularly outstanding is that of good sportsmanship. The ability to admit that one can be wrong is a hard quality to acquire, but Mrs. McGinnis has mastered it skillfully. The class of '45 is proud to dedicate its annual to one with such a pleasing personality-one who has done so much to boost it on the ladder of success in high school and prepare for the road that lies ahead! Page Two MEMDRIA MR. W. D. LoY A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and a loving favor rather than silver and gold. -Proverbs 2251. UTMOST in our most reverent thoughts is the remembrance of our former principal, counselor, and friend, Mr. Loy, who has left our midst in body, yet remains in spirit. His attitude of responsibility. spirit of fellowship. and nature of understanding remain as living testimony of his interest in4and never-dying love for-his fellowmen. From the hearts of those who knew and loved him at Berryhill, time will never completely erase the memory of his image, nor, from the sands of life, his footprints. If Puge Three - s us Page Four 8 V 54567 are zu 1213! zen -N- , is 192011222224 ' 52526.72 , . W o F PRINCIPAL MR. DAN S. DAVIS Dan S. Davis, principal of Berryhill High School, took up that position at the beginning of the 1944-45 school term. His past experience in school work was in Unionville, N. C., Where he served as school principal for twelve years. Mr. Davis is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and has been carrying on graduate Work there since his graduation. He is a member of the North Carolina Educational Association. His rank in the Auxiliary Police is that of First Lieutenant. In the short time that Mr. Davis has been with us his fair and square dealings have proven that he is interested in our problems. and in bettering our welfare in whatever way possible. His relations with the community have been quite favorable. He constantly endeavors to improve himself and is interested not only in curricular, but extra-curricular activity. The members of the entire student body heartily extend to our principal, who possesses genial, cooperative qualities, wishes for many more happy and successful years at Berryhill. . if 246 F A C U L T Y MR.

They have laid aside their books to go and fight for what they think is right--freedom. Our hearts swell with pride at the thought of the brave deeds done by our own boys and the heroic sacrifice of their lives. They will never be forgotten, for a part of each of them has gone into making Berryhill what it is today. Though they leave for unknown places, they stand firm in the faith that they will return. And this is our Ardent prayer. umm 609' Page Thirteen fi SUPERLATIVES DAVID MOORE-BETTY GUNTIEIRQPE, BETTY DEBUS . . . . , ,Best Dressed JOE BERRYHILL-BETTY HAMILTON ..........,... .....,...

I was quite elated at the sight of him, as I had not seen him in a long time. We began talking about old times, and our conversation drifted to our high school days at Berryhill. From various sources on widespread missions around the world, the two of us had gathered the following information about former classmates: t Clyde Armstrong is running Charlotte's leading Electrical Supply Company, with the help of his very capable bookkeepers, Doris Calloway and Betty Sue Berryhill. i Murray Springs and Pressley Tompkins are the Southeast's finest profes- sional basketball players. .Lewis Camp and Joe Berryhill just put out their last issues of Engineering In it a description was given of how to build a small town on wheels. We find Jean Little still being different, for she now is a dress designer for Montaldo's. Colleen Lynn fixes people's teeth now so that they can eat bricks, for she is a leading dentist in Charlotte. You can walk in the County Courthouse and find Marion Boulware at her desk in the County Home Demonstration Agent Department. Oh! Yes. we can get out of trouble easily now, for Margaret Smith is Charlotte's predominating lawyer. Paige Fletcher is still at Reid's Service: although he is general manager, he still fixes flat tires. David Cash and Betty Price just couldn't bear the thought of leaving dear ole Berryhill, so David decided to stay, and teach math and coach the basket- ball team, while Betty is a Primary school teacher. ' Betty Ray Debus is walking on air for she is a Perry Command pilot. Betty Jean Gunthorpe is New York's number one Blues Singer, while, across the street, Betty Hamilton beats out some Boogie-Woogie. Oliver Thompson and Joe Barnes meet their opponents next week at Madison Square Garden. Oliver is the world's lightweight boxer while Joe Barnes goes in for Big stuff-he holds three world's heavyweight titles. After Henry Nance's crack-up in the Marine Air Corps, he was sent to a Naval Hospital, where Peggy Taylor and Vera Maddox are looking after him. Nancy Kendrick is an Army Nurse and is also the soldiers' Pin-up-Girl. Camille Jamieson is Powers' leading model again this year. Manvell Stegall, who is a lieutenant in the Waves, wanted to be secretary to some big man, so I guess Jack Parson, who is now an admiral, will have a new secretary. Bobbie Sue Hudson and Louise Patterson are well on their way to making good housewives to-I wonder who? Merlyne Marks, who has always loved the Navy, is now a sailor's wife. Well, at least I am glad we have somebody with ambition enough to live in the mountains doing nothing but sleeping, eating, fishing, and hunting: this could be no other than Ralph Abercrombie. Query Black is giving his father and brother some competition as to who has the South's finest dairy. Betty Jane Henry and Alice Zack are two of Charles Blackwelder's secre- taries. Charles is a famous architect in New York.. Page Sixteen Ruby Walker is still trying to Hgure out a new and different shot as she is Physical Education Instructor at Berryhill. Annie Pearl Weaver was in Bob Ripley's Believe It or Not last week for doing IOO words a minute with no errors. Robert Brooks and Charles Potts are still going around in circles, for they are now Commercial Air Pilots, flying around the world. Query Byrum is David I. I-Iirsch's new office manager. Due to the manpower shortage, Judson Abernathy just became an Eastern Airline pilot. Gene Baucom is in another world when he is flying his own B-29. Bobby Moody, who is a Captain in the Navy, was, up until today, making it hard for John E.

CLASS PGEM Berryhill, we love your beauty through and through, Where the clouds are white, and skies are always blue: We love you in the summer with your beautiful trees and lawn: We love you in the winter when all the leaves are gone. When we leave for other work for our life to build. We will remember days with you that with joy were filled. We will miss our pals and classmates: we will miss our teachers, too, But most of all, old Berryhill, we'll miss the beauty of you. Soon we'l1 say good-bye to you, but only for a while, For in our thoughts you'll return with a pleasing smile. When we were with you, old Berryhill, our best we tried to do, But now that we are leaving, we leave our love with you. MARIE THoMPsoN, Class Poet. Page Seventeen CLASS HISTORY On a bright sunny day of September in the significant year of 1934, approxi- mately eighty scared little boys and girls were proudly ushered by parents into the rooms of Mrs. Sharpe and Miss Yoder for the beginning of our school life. Each year thereafter seemed better than the previous one. The teachers were very nice, and, with their aid and careful teachings, we found that we were beginning to learn more and more. Each year some new pupil was welcomed to Berryhill: each year some pupil would be given a fond farewell by class- mates. We always had bright moments, with Halloween being celebrated by an undesirous ghost, who would come Hoating in to scare all the children. Always we were feated by a Christmas party or program. Easter Egg hunts occurred each year. Valentines were exchanged by friends. Those days will never be forgotten by this class. In l94O we entered the seventh grade. This year had been looked forward to by all. With the seventh grade came our first real examinations. These examinations proved that our valedictorian was Margaret Brown. and saluta- torian was Judson Abernathy. Graduation day finally arrived on a bright day in April, with all the excited boys and girls wearing white and feeling very important. Our next summer was celebrated by our arriving in high school. Everyone acted as if he was a senior, rather than a green freshman, who didn't know where to go or what to do: but with the help of our home room teachers. Miss Lee and Miss Davis, we were soon on the road to success in high school. In the ninth, we were better acquainted with high school life and went through this grade happy, knowing what good years the next two would be. Upon entering the tenth grade, the following officers were picked: presi- dent, Margaret Smith: vice-president, Pressley Tompkins: secretary, Betty Sue Berryhill: and treasurer. Robert Brooks. At this time came the moment which we had long dreamed of. the Junior-Senior Banquet, when all of the boys and girls would dress formal and their fellow classmates could see what fine looking students they were. Much work and effort were spent for the gala occasion. The banquet was held at the Selwyn Hotel. Thanks to the class, everything was fine. Shortly after the banquet our school was saddened by the passing of our friend and principal, Mr. W. D. Loy, who had been with us since entering school. Entering our senior year, the one most important to us, we welcomed to our school Mr. Dan S. Davis, our new principal. This year of 1944-45 was begun by our choosing class officers. Those holding the honored positions are: president, Bobby Moody: vice-president, Joe Berryhill: secretary, Charles Potts: and treasurer, Betty Jane Henry. This is the year for outstanding feats and for activities which will remain uppermost in our minds all our life. Our school life has been one of enjoyment, and, we feel safe in saying, one of success. With our graduation and departure from Berryhill School, each member of our class would like to express his gratitude to a school and faculty which has given us an education and a start into this world which holds many opportunities for us.
