MASCOTS Betsy Brown Johnny Nettles CLASSES BE STRONG Be strong, young men and young women, Face the world with power and might; Today you are crossing the threshold, Be strong and uphold what is right! Be strong, as your tasks are unfolded, Take truth and good will for your guide; Tomorrow will open new journeys, Be strong and all fear will subside! Be strong, young men and young women, The future seems far and unknown. Keep heart, seek love and great wisdom, Be strong, as the pathway you roam. —Bill Jake Rendleman SONG Boyden High, memories Now come back anew; Even though we’re leaving you, Our hearts will e’er be true. We’ve done our best these long years through, And in the years to come We’ll cherish and love The friends that we’ve made In our high school day memories. Sadness, joy, had their part In days when we were bold, But we’ve worked for dear old high And now we’ve reached our goal; Boyden High, we’re leaving you, With tears and much regret, But in future years, we’ll never forget Our high school day memories. —Sarah Peeler —Pat Sigman ' ft 12 Senior Class Officers Brown Nash Rufty Stewart Weant Sigmon Hedrick Busby President - -- -- -- -- - Dorothy Brown Vice-President _________ “Bud” Nash Secretary - _ ______ _ _ Louise Rufty Treasurer __________ Marion Stewart CLASS DAY OFFICERS Prophet Statistician Historian Lawyer Edith Weant Ross Sigmon Billy Hedrick John Busby 13 Albright, Thomas I like your silence; it the more shows of your wonder.

Being interested in ships, I made a visit to the engine room and while there, engaged in conversation, the captain who explained to me the new invention which permitt¬ ed the ship to be put in reverse gear and move backwards. I was touring the dining room when I felt a jerk; the ship was moving, but behold, it was going backward! Several of us rushed to the engine room to find the cause for this procedure. We found the captain panic-stricken. We finally got from him the information that he had put the ship in reverse and was unable to change gears because of some apparent defect in the new invention. We were now going at a rapid rate of speed and everyone was frantic except Charles Woodson, who had been thinking deeply of some way to relieve the situation and finally announced that he could have the ship moving forward in a few minutes. He was as good as his word, and soon we were advancing through the period of four previous years. We were seeing our accomplishments of these years, some of which I shall relate to you. As Freshmen, we entered Boyden High School two hundred and fifty strong. We chose for our first leader Jack Tarr and for our adviser, Miss Melva Le Gette. Following the example set by Fresh¬ men of former years, we walked off with all the honors. We won the Intramural Athletic Trophy for Girls, the P. T. S. A. cup for attendance, the Clean-Up Campaign award, and sold more Christ¬ mas seals than any of the upper classes. The Freshman teachers, viewing these and other achievements, realized that most of us had learned from them as much as possible and so, unwillingly, gave this group of boys and girls with such superior mental resources to the Sophomore teachers. As the wisest of all foolish ones, we began the second year of our high school careers. We decided that, to be fair and equal, we should not disillusion the young, eager Freshmen in their first year in this great institution. Accordingly we allowed them to take most of the blue ribbons; however, under the advisership of Mrs. McGavok, nee Miss Pauline Harris, we attained several minor honors. One thing of which we were most proud was our repre¬ sentation on the School Golf Team, which won a cup for State Championship and two trophies for Southern Championships. The golfer of whom we were very proud was Bill Jake Rendleman. The following year, as Juniors, we began to realize how little we did know; however, there were a few outstanding individuals in the class. Debating talent was discovered in Tom Stanback, Charles Putzel, John Busby, and Frances Walton. One member of the class, a varsity football member, Cecil Barnhardt, made the All State Team. There were eight members of the class who were invited to join the National Honor Society. These were: Dorothy Brown, Mary Lang Gill, Billy Hedrick ' Louise Rufty, Edith Weant, John Busby, Charles Putzel, and Tom Stanback. The next year, how¬ ever, the Society received two worthy members, Sara Peeler and Pat Sigman, from other schools. We Juniors, as is the custom, entertained the Seniors in the Annual Junior-Senior Party. We were greatly helped in this undertaking by Dot Brown, our class president, and Miss Lena Boley, our class adviser. 936 33 Now after three years of hard work and privations, quite a few of the original two hundred and fifty have become high and mighty Seniors—outwardly, dignified, but beneath all this dignity, humble souls. Early in the year we again chose as our president Dot Brown, who has led us through our final year with flying colors. High in the estimation of each Senior is Miss Louise Goforth, our adviser. Among our classmates is one of the greatest of athletes. He made the All-State Team. This same boy was asked to play in the first annual Tobacco Bowl” game in Winston-Salem. He made the first string and played an excellent game. The stellar football player is “Bud” Nash. Among our group, we also have four prominent debaters: John Busby, Tom Stanback, Charles Putzel, and Charles Woodson. This year our class instituted College Day, an enterprise which we hope will gain strength and influence in the future. We invited representatives from various colleges to visit the school and talk to the Juniors and Seniors on different phases of college activities. After the brief talks, individual conferences were held. Out of this program came many lasting values. Following these talks we had a speaker bring us a message on the topic of vocations, He, seeing our interest in this subject, sent us material on approximately forty vocations. As we have worked to determine the career we wish, we have used this material exten¬ sively. You see, we realize our need for preparation, as we set sail on a new sea. Our teachers have concluded that they can teach us no more and that it is time for us to return to our role of “Green Freshmen” in some institution of higher learning or seek employment in “the wide, wide, world.” Arrangements are being made for our com¬ mencement exercises. We are to receive our diplomas. We must travel on—into the future. BILLY HEDRICK, Historian STATISTICS Pirates of the Sea of Higher Learning, take heed to these facts that you may judge us for the best. Though the average is small in stature, being 64 inches in height and 129 pounds in weight, our wisdom is quite large compared with that of the other classes. After looking through the statistics of previous years, I find that the average age, 16% years, is somewhat less than that established by former classes. The average size shoe is 6% and when it is compared with Tom Stanba ' ck’s number 12 most of us feel quite dainty. I find that 67% are brunettes and 25% blondes. The remaining are unknown, due to peroxide, 42% have brown eyes, 41%, blue eyes. Forget the other 17%. 55%,are in love; 26% more are not; the others are doubtful. Miss Archer is the favorite teacher, with Miss Goforth furnishing good compe¬ tition. Ford, “T” model and V8, is the favored car. History is the favorite subject, giving Miss Archer another compliment. Though some favor Glen Gray and His Casa Loma Orchestra, the majority favor Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians. As for the attendance of the class, the average may be not so good, but there are a few who have done quite well, such as Mildred Wagoner with a record of 11 years of perfect attendance; Reuben 1936 34 Wagoner, 10 years; Carolyn Hartman, 8 years; Thomas Albright ' 4 years; and Faith Beck, 3 years. There have been any number of suggestions as to how to run dear old B. H. S., but the majority consent to quit. The class is 100% in favor of a strong student government. Such statistics, no doubt, give us a place on “The Sea of High Learning”. ROSS SIGMON, Statistician. WILL To whom it may concern: Whereas, we the Senior Class of Boyden High School, finding ourselves duly competent of mind and sound of body, and Whereas, we and the faculty believe ourselves possessed of an intelligence of a far greater degree than any of our predecessors Therefore, we do hereby and herewith devise, will and bequeath the following of our superior qualities to those of you not gifted with said qualities: 1. Our fondest thoughts to those dearest to us: Our parents. 2. To our beloved principal, Miss Julia Groves, and all the other members of the faculty: Our sincerest appreciation for their un¬ tiring efforts to instill in us knowledge and good character. 3. All chewing gum placed under desks and other school prop¬ erty by Esther Goodwin and other students to our French teacher, Miss Marston. 4. Paul Tom’s reckless driving to Edwin Norvell, who already has done too much, we fear. 5. Bill Jake Rendleman leaves his super golfing to anybody who is good enough to get it. 6. Charles Putzel and John Busby leave their masterful style of debating to Buck Woodson and Billy Snider who have a long, long, way to travel before they acquire it. 7. Lynch Murphy leaves with his compliments, the school store with all its numerous embezzlements, to Buck Woodson. 8. Charles Isenhour bequeaths to Jay Strieker his brutish strength with the sincere hope that he will become the next “flea weight” champion of the world. 9. Mary Lang Gill bestows her perseverance in Latin to Mary Frances Dutton. 10. Kathleen Choate leaves her uncanny ability to get an excuse for being late to Bobbie Brantley by request. 11. “Bone” Armstrong leaves his ability to smoke a cigar without getting sick to a person who sadly needs it: Francis Luther. 12. By special request of the recipients, Lynch Murphy and Charles Putzel bestow their tennis ability upon Mr. Beck and Mr. Rollins. 13. Ellis Wood Fisher leaves that “ca-razy duh” to anyone who is good enough to imitate it. 14. The members of the Senior football team leave their super playing to the varsity. 15. Billy Hedrick and Betsy Ross bestow upon Sugar Lady Thompson and Adelaide Sloop their beauty. 936 35 16. Russell McIntyre leaves his crooning ability to George Dever- eux. 17. Sonny” Sigmon bequeaths his “woman-holding ability” to Buck Woodson. 18. “Hoolie” Roberts wills her “turned-up nose” to Brother Joe. 19. Be it accepted without question that from this date, Charles Woodson and Ruth Lentz are to be known as the biggest flirts in Boyden High School. 20. Thomas Stanback, “Sonny” Sigmon, and John Busby leave their vast knowledge of radio to Carl Deal, and Buck Woodson, who are sadly in need of this learning. 21. John Culp leaves his reputation for skipping classes to “Red” Weant, with the warning that he hide in better places, in order not to be caught. 22. Frances Kluttz and Harold Garrison leave their amazing popularity and dancing graces to anybody who will work hard enough to attain them. 23. Finally we of the Senior Class, vastly wiser than any of you, do leave with you a few words of advice: To Freshmen: Grow up. To Sophomores: Calm yourself down. The fact that you are rising Juniors doesn’t mean that you know it all. To Juniors: Try to attain the nearly perfect goal that we, The Seniors, have set up. Witness, therefore, that we the class of 1936 do hereby affix our signature and seal to this, our last will and testament, and do appoint as sole executor of this document, Mr. Clifford Beck. Signed: JOHN C. BUSBY, Lawyer PROPHECY The power to foretell the future of such a class as the Class of 1936, which is filled with the most brilliant of young men and the fairest of young women, seemed an honor too great to be bestowed upon this, your humble prophet, but by fate the power to prophesy came to me last week while I was blowing bubbles. After having blown several bubbles I began to feel faint as if some¬ thing unusual were going to happen. Then a voice said to me, “Fear not, you are to be the prophet of this Class of 1936. The curtains of time shall be drawn and you shall see fifteen years into the future. Pay close attention to each bubble you blow, for as you gaze into these vesicles of fluid inflated with air you shall see your classmates in lands near and far. Take heed to my admoni¬ tions and the ability to utter predictions is yours.” After the voice had spoken, though terrified by the task before me, I kept my faith and courage and sought the wisdom to prophesy. I then blew a large bubble. Lo! The words of the unknown speak¬ er of a few moments before, proved to be the words of truth, for I could see our dear Boyden High School. Within this colossal build¬ ing I saw sitting at the principal’s desk—none other than Charles Armstrong, who was directing affairs in his usual slow and calm manner. Some of his very efficient faculty were: Eleanor Lauch- man, French teacher; Marion Stewart- history teacher; Carolyn Hartman, shorthand teacher; Dorothy White, physical education teacher; Helen Swann, music teacher; the teacher of Latin was—Lo! The bubble burst. I was obliged to turn my thoughts to other class¬ mates and other places. With a desire to see more of our city, I 1936 36 blew another bubble with hopes that my wish would come true. Behold! I could see a beautiful and very prosperous city. I gazed a second longer and recognized it as the city of Salisbury, “The Garden Spot of the World”. The mayor was our esteemed Pres¬ ident of the Student Body, Charles Putzel. My eyes wandered down the business section. Paul Toms had stepped into the shoes of his father, who had retired, and was the owner of the famous Toms Drug Store. A glance at Moskins— Curtis Cooke has been promoted from draft clerk to manage of this great chain store. I could see John Fisher, the President of The First National Bank and his employees; Clarence Kluttz, the cashier; Elwood Hayworth, the teller; William Lauchman, auditor. Some of the grocery stores in Salisbury were owned by Joe Hearne Rufty, Thomas Albright, and L. C. Bassinger. Covington Hannah was the district manager of the A P. Walter Blackmer was in charge of the Southern Dairies. (If he still eats as much ice cream as he did in high school, some of us wonder where the profit comes in.) Thomas Sprinkle and Bob Yingling were very successful opera¬ tors of a small animal hospital. I was not surprised at the profes¬ sion Bob Yingling was now engaged in, because he always believed in the motto: “Be Kind to Dumb Animals”. I understood that Thomas Sprinkle, a skilled veterinarian, had already saved the lives of one third of these innocent animals he had a chance to doctor. Mary Maye Miller and Vance Eller both owned floral shops and there was unusually keen competition going on between the two. Houston Jones had just opened a printing company; his advertis¬ ing manager was Robert Love. They were doing their best to get the contract for the printing of the 1951 Annual. Houston’s secre¬ tary was Willie Mae Ritchie and his bookeeper was LaVerne Rose- man. I saw a great number of people turning their steps toward the court house. I had decided to see what the attraction was when I saw Reuben Wagoner, Clyde Ritchie, Willie Rimer, Hazel Brattain, Frances Harrison, and Roger Harrison whom I recognized as some of my former classmates. Upon my arrival at the court house I was quite surprised to see gracing the chair of the judge. Bill Jake Rendleman. I saw E. W. Cole, John Busby, and Joe Norwood en¬ gaging in a very hot debate as to whether Bill Kenerly was color blind or was pretending he saw green when it was really red. Bill Kenerly’s witnesses were J. W. Arey, Roy Glover, John Leonard, and Raymond Waller. Annabel Laughridge was the court secretary and Flake Rankin was now the chief of police. He seemed to be filling the position, formerly held by his father, very successfully. Some of the other police about the city were Thomas Linn, John Parks, and Leonard Ridenhour. While listening to the trials I picked up the daily paper. The name of the paper was “The Daily Blast”. The editor was Arthur George. Some of his reporters were: Merle Brown, William Free¬ man, Marvin Boggs and Marvin Koontz. His chief printers were: William Forrest, Fred Misenheimer and Joe Stallings. I saw in the paper that John Robinson had just invented a tooth brush without any bristles; and Blanch Twinn had invented a chewing gum that could be chewed a week without losing its flavor. I glanced down the society column and saw where Mary Lang Gill, who was doing Christian Education work in the mountains of North Carolina, was spending a few days with her parents in this city. JVIamie Hellard who was running a kindergarten in Salisbury had just given her pupils a party. Two of her pupils were: Custer Me- 936 37 Kinney. Jr., and Leo Brown. Jr. Both children. I understand, were following: in the steps of their parents—and were proud of it. Ah ! I saw there on the Editorial page that Bobby Julian had just written a book entitled. “Why I Am a Woman Hater”. Many of us knew he was a “woman hater , but were waiting for him to give his grounds for taking such a reaction toward the “fairer sex”. In one column I saw a list of the marriages for the month and decided to see if any of the names sounded familiar. I was quite surprised to see that five of them brought back memories of the class of ’36. They were Rachel Rufty, Hazel Wagoner. Edith Kluttz. Vivian McDaniel, and Estelle Peeler. I took for granted that “they looked before they leaped”. I desired to remain longer here but the bubble burst : therefore I had to seek prophetic wisdom elsewhere. The next bubble was an unusually large one and proved very in¬ teresting. I looked eagerly and admiringly into it as there came clearer and clearer to my eyes long avenues graced by skyscrapers which leaped high into the heavens. This must be New York City. Yes. I was right. Thinking Fate had seen fit to station some of my friends in this city. I decided to investigate to see how the world was treating them. The first person I met was Esther Goodwin, who was now teach¬ ing dramatics in one of the large schools of this city. After a little conversation we decided to go to the Waldorf Astoria for dinner where we could talk about high school days and friends. While I was walking down the avenue, gazing at all the buildings, my eyes became stationed on a very modernistic beauty salon. I was informed that it was owned by Frances Propst. In the window I saw an advertisement which read: “Try the New Roberts Pin.” Upon further questioning I found out that Hilda Graham Roberts had invented a “bobby pin” which had a money back guarantee if it lost its stedfast grip. A few minutes later we were seated in the dining hall of the hotel. While glancing over the menu I saw the name of one of my class¬ mates. Faith Beck, dietician for this hotel. During the course of the meal we talked about the friends and good times we had in Boyden High School. I found out that Harold Garrison was now the manager of the Broadway Theatre. Some of his employees were: Alice Frederick and Virginia Frost, box office girls ; Betsy Ross, his secretary ; and Thomas and George Frederick, two of the ushers. After a very enjoyable meal my friend and I decided to visit the Columbia Broadcasting Studio, since “Sonny” Sigmon and his “Swinging Band from Dixieland” were to broadcast. After a ten minute drive we found ourselves at the studio. Upon entering the building we were met by Virginia Hart Dev- ereaux. who was the night hostess. She informed us that we had arrived just in time for the feature program of the evening. She directed us down a long corridor into the studio to be used for the broadcast. We had scarcely seated ourselves, when an announcer came in and said. “This is Station WEAF, New York C ' .ty. It is nine P. M. Eastern Standard time. You are now invited to be the guest of Sonny S : gmon and his “Swinging Band from Dixieland”, who will entertain you for the next half hour. The program tonight will be dedicated to the Boyden High Class of 1936, who graduated fifteen years ago tonight”. Who do you think was the announcer? Tom Stanback. You may be interested in knowing that he had at last succeeded in training his hair to stay down. Soon the familiar theme song of this great orchestra, which was the idol of millions of dancing feet, was completed. The first selec¬ tion was the magnanimous, colossal, stupendous sensaf ' on of 1936— “Music Goes ’Round and ’Round”. I recognized some of the mem¬ bers of the orchestra. They were: Harry Lee Clark, Ellis Wood Fisher, Eugene Morris, John Luther Morgan and Clarence Fink. Harry Lee Clark came to the nvcrophone and proved to his class¬ mates that he was still able “to push the first valve down with the result that the music would still go ’round ’n ’round.” Other artists of the program were Russell Mclntire, a very talent¬ ed baritone, and Mary ZumBrunnen. Both of these singers had now gained national fame. Glancing over the programs to be offered from this station the following day, I noticed that some entertainers of growing fame were Herbert Flora and his “Gully Jumpers” who were sponsored by the Crazy Water Crystals Company. I recognized some v sitors in the studio to be Mary Coley. Rachel Smith, Fred Cline. Mildred Furr, Doris Campbell. Virginia Hall¬ man, and John Grubb. I was told that all of these had married and were living happily in this large city. After I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the studio the bubble burst: therefore I had to leave New York. Another bubble was blown. Lo ! What did I see? My vision was cast across the Atlantic and on to the city of Paris, “The Fashion Center of the World”. The first person I saw was Billy Hedrick who was making a tour of Europe. This was her second visit to Europe since her graduation from high school. She invited me to walk down the avenue with her to the most exclusive dress shop in Paris. “Shoppe de la Paris”, which was owned by Kathleen Choate. Kathleen had become a well known designer of clothes. Some of her models were Katherine McCall, Sara Peeler. Helen Goodwin. Hazel Hartman, Mildred Lentz, Letha Cagle, and Mary Florence Cain. After conversing with our friends and seeing some of the clothes “stunningly” modeled, we left. Upon reaching the sidewalk, we hailed a taxi driver to take us down to the hotel where Billy was remaining during her stay in Paris. I thought I recognized the driver and with no hesitation I said, “Could you Possibly be . . . .? Before I finished, he said, “Yes, this is Theodore Heilig”. I asked him how he had been getti ng along since we had been together in high school. I was soon in¬ formed that he and Sarah Poole were married and were living happily with their small family. Glancing at the buddings we sped past. I saw a sign which read: “Mile. Brown’s Art Studio”. I heard that Dorothy Brown had just completed her masterpiece entitled “Walking the Plank”. Clayton Poole was also a young artist who was at the present living in Paris. Soon we had reached our destination and after paying our cab driver and wishing him success, we entered the hotel and sat down in the lobby for a chat. I found that the proprietor was Ralph Horton, and the hostess Valerie Jean Maeder. Other of his em¬ ployees were: Margaret Hurley, Mary Rankin and Ruby Trexler, Soon two bell hops entered carrying some baggage ; they were Hal Clark and Melvin Bernhardt. But—look at this stately looking gentleman entering with them. This was Charles Isenhour. He was making a tour of Europe after he had inherited some money from one of his wealthiest relatives who had died only three weeks before. I marveled at the way Fate had sent so many of my friends across the Atlantic, but my friends. Fate does peculiar things. I was to see no more of Paris, since the bubble burst at this moment. While I was pondering upon these unusual and prosperous sights I hastily blew another bubble—this time a very beautiful one. I thrilled to the thought of what this one would reveal to me. I saw a large and beautiful building. Upon entering I knew it was John Hopkins Hospital. I knew, too, that some of my classmates must be here or I would not have been conducted hither. Stepping over to the information bureau I recognized Marjorie Smith, who was the head of this department. She took me to the head nurse. Pat Sigman. Pat said, “Some of our personnel with whom you are acquainted are nurses here: Mildred Wagoner, Bonnie Bell Ramsay, Margaret Miller, Louise Leslie, Ruth Lentz, Elizabeth Horton, Eva Hartline and Mavis Clark. Some of our doctors who are daily gaining national fame are Charles Woodson, baby specialist; Ed. Brown, surgeon ; William Morgan, and Frances Walton, internes. Lynch Murphy is our head Chemist”. Just as I mentioned how prosperous some of my friends were the bubble burst. Before I knew it I was blowing another bubble. In it I saw my¬ self walking down the business section of Washington. At this time I saw a large sign which read: “Kluttz Rufty, Dancing Tutors”. I immed ' ately decided to go in—not because I had any desire to dance—but because the names were so familiar to me. As I walk¬ ed in I recognized one of my old classmates, Annie Lee Cress, busily pecking away on a typewriter. Annie Lee told me that Frances Kluttz and Lou’se Rufty were out for lunch. I was told that Gay- nelle Hefner, Hazel McDaniel, Hazel Shields, Christine Dorsett, and Helen Trexler were employed over at the Capitol by various senators for whom they were secretaries. Soon Frances and Louise returned. They said they had just seen Mary Chilson, Ann : e Laurie Bostian, Doris Foster, Daisy File, and Louise Fisher who had suddenly become “man-haters” and were at the present canvassing for a home for old maids. Lena File, Anita Carter, Dorothy Ennis, Nellie Jones, Louise Lagle, and Mary Lor- bacher had not dec ; ded whether they wished to join this group or not, since they thought it would be terribly lonesome to live alone the remainder of their life. The bubble was gently wafed from its place and I saw the Bolling Airport at Washington. I saw myself boarding a Transcontinental passenger plane, like the one on which I am hostess, preparing to leave for the Rose Bowl. The pilot was Garland Martin: the co¬ pilot was Bill Miller. Who are those loud and Herculean looking young men who are aboard this ship? Why they are none other than A. L. Nash, Melvin Gantt. John Knight, Clyde Kluttz, P. J. Kirk, Ralph Holshouser, John Culp, Carl Brittain, and Cecil Barnhardt. All of them after graduating from college several years before had succeeded in ob¬ taining jobs in various schools or colleges and were coaches or in some way connected with the athletic department. In 1940, A. L. Nash, P. J. Kirk, and Cecil Barnhardt, who were then playing on the North Carolina State College Football team, had received and accepted an invitation to play at the Rose Bowl. I was unable to go with them all the way to the Rose Bowl for when we were cruising over St. Louis the bubble burst. The unknown voice spake unto me saying, “Your task as prophet of this class of 1936, is completed”. So, as the scenes have changed from place to place, I have reveal¬ ed my classmates to you in the roles of the social, industrial, and domestic leaders of the world.
