« « i t i THE 1949 SPOTLIGHT Published By THE SENIOR CLASS BOONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Boonville, N. C. FOREWORD In the publishing of the 1949 edition of the Spotlight we sincerely hope that it will be received by all in the name and spirit of good will and genuine understanding. We do not claim perfection for this edition. Much time and thought has been spent in the prepara- tion of this book. We consider it well worth while, if in the years to come it will enable one to recall to mind the many pleasant hours and days spent together with other schoolmates at Boonville High School. To all those who helped make possible this publication —including pupils, teachers, advertisers and other well-wishers —we express our sincere thanks and most ardent appreciation. Cheers for the Black and Gold Waving forever, Pride of old Boonville High May she rule ever. We sing a song for the flag that waves, Cheers for the team that plays. On to the goal we’ll fight our way For Boonville High. DEDICATION ALBERT MARTIN A school is as great as its leaders and the standards they set for their students. No matter how far we look we could never find a man so interested in serving his school, understanding his students, and leading them to higher intel- lectual attainments. To a man who is a leader, an authority, a scholar, and a gentleman; to a man of whom Boonville High School is proud; we dedicate this, our 1949 Spotlight.

In 1953 we see Lawrence Cartwright pitching baseball for the Boston Braves. We see Roselyn Bryant using her basketball ability keeping house. Ten years from now we see Jean Gray Stewart, Lucille Stanley, and Garnett Baker, still running around together—but lovable old maids. In I960 Allen Woodruff and John Shore are publishing a spelling book. In the future we see Hayden Moxley assistant Chief of Police in Elkin. A few years from now Laura Louise Hobson will still be typing but for that State College guy. In ten years we see a new name on the mailbox at Klondike Farm, Walter Stinson just purchased it. In the future we see Connie Holcomb still valuable, not to her class, but to the community of Union Grove. After his graduation at State College, we see Bill Thore as a designer of Diesel Engines. In 1950 Junior Collins is seen using the tools of a mechanic. Several years from now we see Betty Lou Moxley and Marie Swaim sharing a home in Yadkinville. In the future we see Lucille Casstevens as the Music Teacher at Boonville. Ten years from now we see Moppy” Taylor still studying physics. Several years from now we see Bobby Stinson, old and grey, telling stories to his grandchildren. In 1955 we see Johnnie Thore taking the place of Dagwood in the funny paper. In the future we see Fairye Matthews Air Line Hostess on the route from Boonville to Nancy Reynolds. In 1952 we see Ruby Prim happily, married, living at Pilot Mountain. Four years from now we see Jean Vestal and Farene Ray, seniors at High Point College. In 1956 Faye Taylor is seen giving dancing lessons to only one pupil, Arleen Benton. In the future you will see Grady Lakey married to a million dollars! Soon Benny Webb will take the place of Johnny on the radio, calling Phillip Morris . Ten years from now Rose Anna Miller is seen the dramatics teacher at Fall Creek. In 1953 Betty Lou Norman will become famous as the star basketball player for Chatham. Perhaps Judy Hutchens will marry a big, clumsy, handsome man. We hope. CLASS HISTORY In 1945 we entered High School with 64 Freshmen. It was a happy year for all of us. We had 13 to join us from Fall Creek. Our class was divided into two groups. Mr. Brown was teacher of the girls and Mr. Walker was teacher of the boys. President was Gus Tomlin; Vice President, Virgil Swaim; Secretary, Farene Ray. During our Sophomore year we were under the direction of Miss Day and Mr. Pardue. Nothing of importance happened this year except a few class parties. We began our Junior year thinking of the two important events of the year. They were the Junior play, Me and My Shadow”, and the Junior- Senior Banquet which we finally decided to have in the Y” at Elkin. We went to a movie after the banquet. At the end of the year we had our fingers measured and ordered our class rings. Mrs. Thad Reece was our leader. In 1948 we were dignified” Seniors with 36 members. Class officers were: President, Walter Stinson; Vice President, John Shore; Secretary, Farene Ray; and Reporter, Roselyn Bryant. Our girls’ basketball team won the grade tournament in the ninth and tenth and then again in the twelfth. We elected our mascots, Phyllis Ann Woodruff and Gorrel Robert Stinson, 3rd. For our class colors we chose green and white and white roses for our flower. We selected Keep On Keeping On” for our motto. We lost three of our class before the end of the year by matrimony and other things. As we go we will compare ourselves to a rose bush. We have our bad points as the rose bush has its thorns. We also have our many more good qualities as the rose bush bears its blossom. As we leave our school we shall always try to keep ourselves blooming in the road of life. While the class makes no claims of unusual greatness, we have played our part in the drama of B. H. S. We know you will miss us for a while until others take our place. But we shall never forget, for nothing can take the place of the four years of joy and sorrow, failure and success. As you read this record in the years to come, grant a small portion of your memories to the Class of '49. FARENE RAY, Historian. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1949, of Boonville High School, in our individual and distinct parts, being about to leave this home where we have spent many {iappy and useful years under the direction of Mr. Albert Martin and his trained assistants, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills any time heretofore made.

The world-famous artist in 1955 is Iris Bell Brown. The Junior Class of '49 sees Kay Frances Transou directing the Boon- ville High School Glee Club in I960. Elizabeth Miller is seen studying but not school books. She is now study- ing How to Get a Man in 9 Easy Lessons”. Betty Hinshaw’s ambition is to coach basketball at Boonville Hi in I960. Norma Rose Hayes, Fannie Lineberry and Vivian Prim’s greatest ambi- tions is to be housewives. Joy Holcomb’s ambition is to be a Star Basketball Player” at Doodsville. What happened to Mary Ann Holt’s diamond? Did a certain boy come home??? (Which one?) If anyone needs his temperature” taken, call on Peggy Sparks. She’ll be handy. (Won’t you Peggy?) Rachel Stimpson hopes to be in the future a Miller”, but not a flour miller” Jack Gentry is seen studying a map of China. Wonder if his ambition is to minister there?? (We wish you luck, Jack.) Kenneth Campbell, C. W. Hood and Major Woodruff have the ability to be the Star Basketball Players” for B. H. S. in 1950. Frank Steelman, Jr., seems to like to stay over in the Mitchell Chapel” section, maybe he is planning to put up another Steelman” Garage there — could be you know”!!! As viewed by the Juniors, Martha Vestal is seen as a Concert Pianist” in the near future. Since Billie Sue Stewart is so much smaller than the other Juniors, maybe Nellie Sue Norman will lend her some of her height. The Juniors were glad at the half to have Ruby Vestal join us again. Gay Hobson is doing extra good” on the basketball team. Keep the good work up, Gay, we’re all behind you. Arliss Nell Steelman’s ambition is to-------, well she hasn’t decided just what??? Genevieve Davis and Nell Pendry would make good nurses” for the Yadkin County Hospital. Last, but not least, we find Annie Philips, still studying French. Keep the good work up, Annie, maybe you will be the new French teacher in the years to come??? To all the Juniors whose names do not appear here, you are just as important as the rest, and you are not forgotten. So keep your good work up!!

Byron, I heard a certain girl say she liked Campbell’s” soup. Peggy Williams likes East Bend cheerleaders. Could it be a certain boy? Lately, Howard Vestal is visiting Jonesville. Oh! Howard, don’t forsake Boonville. Why does Pauline Vanhoy always wear a class ring? She says it’s from South Carolina, but we don't think so. Fred, why are you getting so thin? Are the girls keeping you on the run? Martha Shore enjoyed the book Seventeenth Summer”. Hmm! One of the characters is named Jack”.

Anne Hensley and Opal Spence seem to be interested in the Jimmies. Gilbert Bolin, we hear that you can hardly wait to get your driving license. Clara Belle sits on the back row at the show. Maybe that’s as far as he” can get on Saturday nights. If you see any broken pieces lying around, it must be Gerald Casstevens’ broken heart. Gayle Casstevens, we hear that you and Nellie Snow would like to go to Yadkinville High School. We hear that Patty R. Davis is itching to visit Mt. Park. Why?? Helen Frazier likes candy. It must be because a certain boy gives it to her. Billy Parks, don’t dye your hair. Some girls like red. Peggy Stewart and Bertha Hodge seem to enjoy civics. Well! It might be a certain boy that sits near them. Berlie, we hope you make a great baseball pitcher. We are sure you will.

When the class of 1948 finished, they took with them most of the first string football players. Coach Brown had to start from the bottom and build a team of boys who had not played before. There were only five boys that were regulars on the ’48 team back. Before the season was over, Coach Brown had whipped up a fair team. The regular first string players were: Harold Lackey and Junior Wilkins, ends; John D. Davis and Berlie Simmons, tackles; Jack Gentry and C. W. Hood at the guard positions; the center slot was held down by Jimmy Sapp; the backs, Coy Brown and Johnny Shore, Ronald Johnson, and Grady Lakey.
