Bessemer High School - Spotlight Yearbook (Greensboro, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1951 volume:

—---- Presented By THE SENIOR CLASS of 1951 'ponecvcnd The Spotlight focuses on Bessemer High School. It is the year 1950-51. You, the actors, are taking part in a drama you will long remember. The role you plav is an impor- tant one, for each one is a leading role. As the lights of the school year go down and the actors wait breathlessly behind the curtain, we hope that as you turn the pages you will relive with us the joy and pride which we have experienced in compiling our annual. We hope too, that the future Senior Classes of Bessemer High School will keep “The Spotlight’’ burning down through the years so that it may become a tradition and an inspiration to the students of tomorrow. 2 DedccatcM To one who has guided and directed us through our senior year, it is with gratitude and affection that we dedicate J W this 1951 edition of The Spotlight to Arnold L. Bolen. 3 JIMMY APPLE We wish to dedicate this page in our annual to Jimmy who is now in the Guilford County Sanitorium. He is a young man of splendid character, and is a willing, energetic worker. He is popular with both students and teachers. 4 W. H. CUDE Principal A.B.

We leave no special instructions regarding our departure, but we hope to be remembered in the days to come for all our many virtues and accomplishments, instead of our few and trivial faults. It is to be understood that this is the composite will of the thirty-eight separate souls who are combined into a powerful organization known as the Senior Class. Item I To our principal and faculty we leave thanks for a job well done, as well as the memory of those four short years during which we were under their guidance. Item 11 Oh! You lucky “will be Seniors,” Juniors that you may be now—you are to be left many varied and valuable possessions and privileges! We leave you the luck that we never had for being able to plan and carry out class activities. We also bequeath upon you the ability' to go to the corner any time during the school day without being caught. Item III Give thanks O lowly Sophomore, along with the allegedly honorable title of Junior, you are being left the well known nerve of the Seniors. Use it well and your path- way will be smoothed by it, but remember that a man’s hardest fall is over his own bluff. The rest of our patience we bequeath to you also, for you will be in sore need of it when these cocky Juniors have come into their own as Seniors. Lastly, we have for you our most prized possession, our good will. Item IV Freshmen, read and rejoice. Such generosity as befalls you, comes only once in a lifetime. Along with the presumptious rank of Sophomore, you are to be given the privilege of striding up and down the hall as if you were really of some impor- tance. You will be permitted to speak of the graduating class, in a reverent manner, of course. Also, to you we give our patience, as you will need much of it in order to endure the shortcomings of the Juniors. Item V To our most recent offspring, the new Freshmen, we leave the ability to create for themselves the name by which we were famous, the best behaved class in Bessemer’s history. We also leave them the right to fill in our places on the varsity teams. Item VI To the school we give the right to gaze with admiration upon the trophies and to remember the many honors that we have won in the past four years. Item VII Individual Bequests and Bequests of a Lesser Nature: Harvey Starr leaves his new football helmet to Riley Montgomery.

Our class- mates are scattered to the four corners of the earth and tonight we visualize them wherever they are. Shirley Harris, who majored in English at Converse College (Miss Guill’s college;, is teaching English at Bessemer to relieve Aliss Guill of her duties so she can have two Dramatics classes a day. Shirley followed in her Mother's footsteps and married a preacher. Reuben Leonard is now playing pro-baseball for the Boston Argyle Sox during baseball season; in football he is coaching Carolina’s Tarheels who hold six straight victories over John Jett’s Wake Forest “Demon Deacons.” Milton Berle of TV has long been run out of business by Gene Murr, whose funny faces and witty wisecracks, is capturing the hearts of millions that once looked to Berle for topflight entertainment. Eleanor Clapp is now coaching girls’ basketball at the University of Tennessee while her school- day sweetheart is now Professor of English. We congratulate W. W. Brady, our Senior class president, who has just been voted in as the President of the United States by an overwhelming majority. I he first lady of the White Llouse is not envied because “Dubby” was the best looking woman hater we have ever had at Bessemer. Jeanette Tussey, the only girl in town with a boy friend on every street, is now the talk of Hollywood since she divorced Mickey Rooney, her thirteenth husband. She is now starring in “Aly Husband had Nine Lives.” Van Bcrckman, whose dreams of the sea and the navy have attained for him the rank of Admiral, is now Chief of Staff of the U. S. Armed Forces. One of our outstanding fiction writers of today is Joretta Hall, who is finishing her latest book, “I Alarried a Grease Monkey.” She has written many books in her career as a writer but also as a housewife because as of now she has six children. Alton Gilbert is now the head surgeon of St. Leo’s Hospital and his most able assistant is Treva, his wife. Alton married way back in High School. The new contract is being let for the ultra modern Bessemer High School and guess who got it, O’Neil Blake, who is now in business with his father, a contractor. Lindsay Simpson, whose childhood idol was Coach Jett, is now playing pro-football with five broken toes and a broken arm like Jett who once played with five broken fingers. Vernon Swafford, with his delicate handwriting, is now in business making new one-dollar bills for the Treasury Department. We hope! Janet Marsh, whose love for a certain “Fryar,” has led her and her husband to buy and maintain the largest chicken farm in the South. Besides having fryers in the chicken coops they now have five little Fryars running around the house. The great predecessor of Flonty Flock, John Cranford is now burning up the speedways with his ’36 chartreuse and black Ford. Carolyn Alurra is now owner of the largest candy wholesale store in the country. A new university was named after her last year and this year she has been named “Aliss Candy Bar of ’61.” Rachel Lloyd’s ability to sell people things they don’t want has led her to selling the Eskimos refrigerators, ice cream, and French bathing suits. She is still engaged but can’t take time off from her duties to set the date. Norman (Lover Boy) Lovings is now getting the chance to show his love on the screen with such beauties as Shirley Temple, Elizabeth Taylor, and Margaret O'Brien. His latest picture was, “I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A RING, BUT I HEARD THERE WAS A TELE- PHONE STRIKE.” William DeLancey, who had a knack for managing things, especially girls, is now manager of the Park Avenue Alodeling Company in New York. William has never found a girl pretty enough for himself as of yet. 26 The internationally famous lawyer, Dale Wood, is now handling all of Reuben Leonard’s and John Cranford's embezzlement cases. Dr. Roberta Wilson of Johns Hopkins Hospital has recently gotten married, and it was a big affair because Dr. Wilson, who was engaged in high school, has just finished her training and finally found time to get married. She is one of the best known doctors in the nation. Kay Montgomery has now accepted a fifty thousand dollar a year secretarial job in the office of the President at Wysong Miles. Colonel Tommy Woodard, Advisor to General Eisenhower in Europe, has been shipped back to Greensboro to take command of the new air base out at the Battleground. Yesterday we heard the sports announcer of the all-star Baseball game in Boston boom out, “. . . and now stepping into the batter’s box is Frank Welch, star third baseman of the Detroit Tigers, who up until now has batted .341 for the season.” Today we read in the Daily News an editorial by Harvey Starr. Since he was our Editor back in High School we always expected him to accomplish great things in life. Martha Pickard, who married during her Junior year and later completed her school work, is now employed by Sears and Co. as executive secretary. She also has three boys. Then there is that famous old maid of the crowd, Betty Bunton, who has been married five times. (Betty has always said that her only love was for her pet cat, Spitfire.) Bob Oakes has just returned to Greensboro after a most successful season with the Chicago Cardinals where he was selected as the Professional football player of the year. Our school librarian, Francis Nabors, worked her way up the political ladder until she is now head librarian in the Congressional Library in Washington. She is now married to an intellectual genius who is a senator. Betty Meadows is now married to J. B. Barber and has five children, all boys. She and her husband are the best known religious singer and accompanist in the world. If you have seen a Ford pickup flying up and down the highways to and from ball games you know it is Betsy (wedding band) Ring and her husband, the well known pro-basketball player. Vida Lou Alaness, one of our quiet but smart girls in school, is now married to the president of Cone Mills. Between trips to New York and Florida, Vida Lou takes time to make talks to the business women of Greater Greensboro. Carolyn Starr, President of a w ell known Book-binding Company, now resides in New York. She has recently been playing with politics and is a great friend of the President. The Gallop Poll is now a low-ranking poll beside the Allen Poll whose President, Larry Allen, has the highest per-cent of accurate predictions. Ann Wilson is now in the model airplane business with her husband. They are the world’s champions in that field. She started out as his secretary and later became the co-president. The most outstanding and renow ned model in New York is Erma Jean Hamlett. She is planning to make a screen debut in the near future. The cover girl of B.H.S. is W anda Kinlev, who is advertising manager of Acme Advertising . r £? Agency and has her own fleet of Cadillacs. “That Old Master Painter,” has nothing on Louise Douglas, who is famous the world over for her famous paintings of her eighth and ninth husbands. Glvndora Dixon, whose gift of gab and big mouth have led her into the field of comical enter- tainment, has also found herself a husband. She is now starring with him in the TV Show' “Life With the Jerry Lewis’s.” Attention everyone, if you have not bought your tickets for the September 14th performance of Ervin Chamber’s version of Chopin's Etudes, do so immediately. 11 is concert is to be held at Carnegie Hall. fluttion, @1 M£ O icena Marion Oakes . .

We don't pretend to be athletic experts, because our job is to manufacfure high quality textile products. But as sporting fans we think it would be safe to say that an athletic champion is the result of all these fine qualities. We know that it has taken a combination of great leadership, manufacturing know-how, careful planning, employee loyalty, and skilled teamwork to make Burlington Mills a champion in the textile industry. The Company's many accomplishments and progressive growth during the past 27 years are well known. We are proud of this record and equally proud of our 32,000 employees who have worked together with real team spirit as members of the Burlington team. It's a fact that Burlington's fine fabrics, hosiery and other textile products are truly Woven Into the Life of America' — just as every Burlington plant is woven into the life of its own community.
