E. Alexander FOREWORD The crossroads which we have long an¬ ticipated are now in view. The road we have traveled for these four years has not been a smooth highway , but now that we have reached our first great milestone , we have hopes of the future. We feel that now we may look back at our journey and may attempt to depict the adventures we en¬ countered. This ever changing panorama of human efforts is pictured on the pages that follow. We hope this book in the years to come will sound some faint echo , and thus bring the memories rushing back to you. The Editors. DEDICATION Miss Caroline Powell For your courage and progressive spirit, for your skillful and efficient work, for your loyalty and devotion, for your intelligent interest in each of us, and most of all for your loving friendship, which has helped to make our last year in high school one of hap¬ piness and success, we dedicate to you this volume of our annual, The Echo. DEDICATION Miss Louise Rotha In appreciation of the interest, time, untiring efforts, inspiration given us by your noble living, unswerving faith in us, and great service so unselfishly rendered to us in building the founda¬ tion of our relations to each other as students, we dedicate to you this vol¬ ume of our annual, The Echo.

There are friends we’ve loved and trusted, There are battles lost and won, There are scenes of rapturous splendor, There are deeds that we have done. All these we share with Boyden And hold in memory, too. But out of dreams and realities Come deeds we’ve yet to do. And then we are glad to realize, And thankful from each heart, That we have enjoyed each other, And won victories—ere we part; Today we come to a fork in the road; We must travel life’s pathway anew, With brave, hopeful hearts we go forward, Facing nobly each task that we do. —Bobbie Kester. 32 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We, the highly exalted men and women of the Class of 1940 of Boyden High School, being of com¬ petent mind, sound in body and with unsurpassed powers of memory, upon realization of the fact that our stay in the aforementioned institution is soon to become terminated, do make this, our final will and testament: FIRST: We leave our dearest thoughts to those closest to us, those who have done all in their power to make our high school careers a success: our parents. SECOND: To our principal, Miss Julia Groves, and to other members of the faculty, we leave our most sincere appreciation for their never-tiring ef¬ forts to give us knowledge and good character. THIRD: We bequeath to Mr. O’Brien all the prejudices, troubles, sorrows, disappointments, jeal¬ ousies, and misunderstandings of the class in hopes that he will dispose of them in the furnace, getting them forever out of the way. FOURTH: Harold Kenerly and Jimmie Putzel leave their unquestionable executive ability to Dor¬ othy Ketner and Kenneth Stoudt. FIFTH: To the Varsity Team of 1941 we leave the unexcelled ability of the 1940 Hi-Y Basketball Team. SIXTH: Norma Anderson bequeaths her ability to have five or six boys trailing her all the time to Marian Farmer, even though she seems to have enough ability to do the same already. SEVENTH: Alice Peeler’s and Smith Foushee’s all-around good qualities go to Nell Harden and “Doodles” McKenzie. EIGHTH: “Zeke” Kluttz leaves his ability to skip classes and get by with it to A. D. Dorsett. NINTH: The accumulated collection of wise cracks which have been the property of Bill Moore and “Jay” Trotter pass on to Julian McKenzie. TENTH: Don Nussman and Bill Rankin bequeath their ability to toast thirty sandwiches in five min¬ utes at the Pharmacy during lunch period to Buster Reynolds. ELEVENTH: Rachael Trexler, Nancy Jackson and “Lib” Roseman leave their amazing beauty to Isabel Carpenter, Mary Ann Linn, and Nancy Craver. TWELFTH: The Snider sisters bequeath their cheerful dispositions and hopeful outlook to “Effie” Crowder. THIRTEENTH: Nancy Taylor and Mary Cath¬ erine Conrad bestow upon Arline Shields their “sky high” enthusiasm over “jitterbugging.” FOURTEENTH: The Bowen boys leave their ability to star in all sports offered and still have time to date girls every night to anybody who hon¬ estly believes he can do the same. FIFTEENTH: As there is no one anywhere closely qualified to be the recipient of George Ellis’ ability to “swat” those drums right and left and get such good rhythm, we leave it in the form of a cornet playing to Seth Murdoch. SIXTEENTH: “Red” Russell leaves his dainty curls to “Tinker” McGinnis along with the suggestion that an “Excelsior Superior” curling iron, Advance Store, 98 cents in price will keep them in good con¬ dition. (Advertisement.) SEVENTEENTH: Bill Webb leaves a few of his extra pounds to Jack Trotter, who is wondering what to do with those he already has right now. EIGHTEENTH: Jack Ramsey, Bill Jarrett and “Acey” Parker leave their ability to rob cradles to Robert Wingate. NINETEENTH: To Mr. Bunch go our most sin¬ cere thanks for those sermons he occasionally made from the pulpit of 111 during history period, with assurance that they will truly be of value throughout our lives. TWENTIETH; Sara Goodman and Malcolm Arey leave the latest styles in high school dress to Mary Stuart Snider and Ross Russell. TWENTY-FIRST: The following advice is left to underclassmen: When you enter as a freshman, You have to keep a pushing It you really ever expect, To leave this institution; So try hard, students— You’ll rise above the mass, But you’ll never reach the height attained By the present Senior Class. HEREUPON, the aforesaid Class of 1940, Anno Domini, do on this day affix our signatures and seal to this, our last will and testament, and do hereby appoint as our sole executor, Mr. J. H. Nettles. JAMES McCORKLE DAVIS, JR. WITNESSES: Joseph G. Blow, IV Zachery Y. Raincrept The Honorable Mr. Ruben Left Wright. 33 HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 As we, the Seniors of 1940, are nearing the close of our careers at Boyden High School, let us draw back the curtains of the past. There we will find re¬ vealed to us many interesting events which will go down in the annals of our school. It was on one bright morning in early September, 1936. that over two hundred green but ambitious freshmen entered the great institution of advanced learning, Boyden High School. They quickly adapted themselves to the new and strange ideas and customs that prevailed here. Realizing the value of organiza¬ tion. they soon elected Bernice Garwood their first class president and Alice Peeler their first secretary. As day after day rolled around and was left in the dim past, these two hundred freshmen found themselves sophomores at Boyden. Alice Peeler was selected to lead the class and Braxton Young was elected secretary. The group began to assert leader¬ ship and ambition, for during American Education Week, we had more parents to visit the school than any other class had had in Boyden’s history. This year was a very successful one in the athletic field for the girls. As freshmen they had been the tennis champions. Now they were the soccer, baseball, ten¬ nis, shuffle-board and ping pong champions of the school, missing winning the Intramural for Girls only two points. Also a sophomore home room tied for the Home Room Trophy. Individuals also won honors, for Jimmie Putzel was an alternate on the debating team. Time moved on, however, and the sophomores of 1938, became the juniors of 1939. Alice Peeler was elected president of the class and Frances Peeler was named secretary. The National Honor Society selected Braxton Young, Doris Murph, Harold Kenerly, Jimmie Davis, Alice Peeler and Rachael Trexler to join its worthy ranks. James Davis and Rachael Trexler were fur¬ ther honored by being named president and secre¬ tary respectively, of the statewide organization of the society. In athletic events the boys had a very fine year, for they won the Intramural Cup for Boys. On the other hand, the girls were the tennis champions for the third consecutive year and tied for both shuf¬ fle-board and horseshoe championships. Again Jim¬ mie Putzel was an alternate on the debating team. Furthermore, from the ranks of the junior class were selected the following school officers for 1939-1940: Harold Kenerly, president of the Student Body; James Davis, first vice-president, and Alice Peeler, secretary. The annual Junior-Senior Party this year was one of the most successful in the history of the school. Then, when school opened in the fall of 1939, the juniors had become the mighty seniors, the gradu¬ ating class of 1940. This year, and for the third con¬ secutive year, Alice Peeler was elected class presi¬ dent and Braxton You ng was elected secretary. The following seniors were elected to join the National Honor Society: Hal Willett, Smith Foushee, Betty Scott Lentz, Pauline Miller, Nancy Jackson, Lois Shoe, Nancy Taylor, Carolene Rink, Frances Peeler, Ruth Brattain and Betty Snider. Pauline Miller won the Fire Prevention Essay Cup and James Putzel, Doris Murph, June Duffell became members of the debating team. The past four years have written an illustrious history of the Senior Class. May the coming years write for you, the underclassmen, one fully as great. And now to the juniors, sophomores and freshmen, we say “au revoir.” To the faculty of Boyden High School, we wish to render our most sincere thanks and appreciation for their efforts and understanding on our behalf during our stay here at high school. For the entire Senior Class of 1940, I bid you, one and all, an affectionate and heartrending farewell. JAMES RAMSEY PUTZEL, Historian. 34 STATISTICS We, the members of the Senior Class of 1940, of Boyden High School, do hereby declare the veracity of the following facts and figures and leave a copy of this document with the incoming senior classes of this institution so that they may make an attempt to equal our mark. Starting from the ground and going up, we find that we seniors of this class are very well planted as the boys broke all previous records when their average shoe size was found to be nine. The girls, however, have more dainty feet, as their average is only six and one-half. Most of us, however, feel we have quite small feet when we look at Jimmy Davis’ and Bill Moore’s twelves. Getting to the weight, we find that this class is quite a healthy group as the boys have an average weight of one hundred and forty-three pounds and the girls one hundred and sixteen. My, does the average student feel small when he looks at Jimmy Putzel, who weighs a mere two-hundred pounds. In looking over the color of eyes, we find that forty-five per cent are brown, and this seems to be a majority. Next comes blue, which claims twenty-nine per cent. Ten are grey, while the remaining fourteen per cent cannot make up their minds between green and hazel. Brown is also the ruling color in hair, as sixty per cent have this color. Then comes blonde with eighteen per cent. Black has sixteen per cent while the remaining six per cent are redheads. Looking from head to toe, we find that the average senior boy is five feet and eleven inches tall while the girls tip the beam at five feet and four inches. Recently there has been an inch added by both boys and girls for the newly acquired dignity of completing their course in high school. Still, the most of us have to look up to Norman Ridenhour, who is six feet and four inches from the ground up. The average age for this fine looking group is seventeen for the boys and sixteen for the girls. In our class we find a very good school spirit, for we picked football as our favorite sport. Of course, we could be thinking of none other than our own team. Nothing but ice cream could be good enough for the favorite dish, as it took an over¬ whelming majority of the votes. Glenn Miller’s band ruled tops after taking a close race from Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw. These three swing bands probably account for the many jitterbugs. After win¬ ning the favorite swing band, Glenn Miller’s Moon¬ light Serenade finally had to give in to the Lux Radio Theatre for the favorite radio program. When it came to the favorite actress and actor Betty Davis came out winner for actress, and Tyrone Power and James Stuart tied for actor. Of course the boys put in a good many votes for Hedy Lamarr and she ran second for actress. Mr. David A. Bunch was made King of the Faculty, as he took a close race from Miss Evelyn Archer. We find that most of the seniors have become accustomed to driving and they pick as their favorite car, the Buick. (However, I fear a big gray Packard is liked by many.) After being driven almost insane studying the numerous hobbies of our group, I finally decided to put collecting under one head and call it tops. Next to this, twirling key chains seems to be very popular, as fifty per cent of the seniors own a chain. The boys claim most of these but the girls seem to be the ones with them. Forty- five per cent of the class is sure old Dan Cupid has the best of them. The remaining fifty-five per cent are too bashful to say or are definitely opposed to the subject. We were pleased to find that fifty-five per cent of the students would not be satisfied with a high school education and that they would carry their learning to college. Some forty per cent feel they know all there is to know or for some reason would not continue their education. The remaining five per cent cannot make up their minds. Now that the curtain is being drawn, let me leave these facts and figures to an eagerly awaiting world, in hopes that some day this document will hang in one of the greatest museums of the world, and then people large and small will look upon it and say, “There hangs the statistics of the greatest senior class that ever graduated from a high school.” Signed, sealed, and delivered. RICHARD RUSSELL. Statistician. 35 PROPHECY June 7, 1950 Chicago, Illinois Dear Jane: Today is a memorable occasion. Do you know why? It has been exactly ten years today since we graduated from Boyden High School. Things have changed a great deal in ten years—haven ' t they? One could hardly have suspected that the naive group of students who grad¬ uated that seventh day of June would make such a place for themselves in the world. We all had such high hopes for the future as we stood in line for our diplomas. Perhaps we knew even then that our class was destined to become the leaders of the world. Some things have happened which certainly must have exceeded our wildest dreams. Did you ever think that Jimmy Putzel would, in the space of ten short years, become the world’s most renowned lawyer? I was reading in the “New York Times” the other day that another young lawyer, Ney Lynch, had been elected the new district attorney of that city. Speaking of the “New York Times” reminds me of the boys and girls from Boyden who are on the staff of that large news¬ paper. Don Tysinger certainly turned out to be a great city editor and Peggie Marie Moore one of the first women advertising managers. I knew that she could do it tho! Remember her grand work on the “Annual” and “Echo Jr.”? I hear that June Duffell and Alice Peeler are foreign correspondents and are having an exciting time in Europe. Jane, the other day I ran into Peggy Snider and her husband downtown. Have you met him? He’s so hand¬ some and so very nice. They were with Arch Cutting, who was on a vacation from his picture work in Holly¬ wood, and they invited me to go to dinner with them. Chicago can be a wonderful place at night, you know, and remembering this, we made a tour of the best night clubs and theatres. At the Golden Slipper Club we found Charlotte Daniel, a vocalist with George Ellis’ famous band. Ann Hobson, Shirley Frymoyer and Anne McDowell were featured dancers fresh from a European tour with their three handsome partners. It was a treat to be able to say that we knew these stars of the enter¬ tainment world. Peggy has a darling home in the su¬ burbs. Two of her neighbors and former school mates are Grace Martin and Helen Foster. They, too, are happily married. You rather surprised me, Jane, in your last letter when you said that Hal Willet had become a succesful business man. I had always rather hoped that he would go into the movies. Don Nussman, too, is a business man but he is more of the executive type. He took over the Ajax Tacks and Nails Company, you know, and his right hand men are Bobbie Fisher and Gordon Beck. They really do all the work while Don weights down the desk with his feet. He has several private secre¬ taries also. Elizabeth Roseman, Betty Snider, and Peg¬ gie Hunt all claim that title. Trust Don to have three of the best looking girls from Boyden as his secretaries. Have you heard about D. C. Lentz? He now owns a large jewelry store. You should see it, Jane. It’s beau¬ tiful. Alice Albright, Virginia Daniel, Thelma Ennis, Audrey Hefner, Evelyn Russell, Lois Hendren, and Margaret Keith are his best salesladies. Jack Arey, the famous expert on diamonds, recently commended D. C.’s assortment of diamonds as the world’s best! Many people in our class have become the best in their fields. For instance: Doris Baker, the Women’s Tennis Champion of the United States; Jimmy Davis, Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist; Bill Rankin, Racket-busting head of the G-men; Nancy Taylor, a famous ballerina; and R. L. Hartman, a daredevil airplane pilot. Like Jimmy Davis, several of our classmates have become doctors and, though not so famous as he, have given their lives to their profession. Lois Shoe and Miriam Horton, both country doctors, carry on their great work unheralded by fame. Evelyn Morgan, Floyd Trexler and Charles Waggoner are on the staff of the Rowan Memorial Hospital in Salisbury. Jane, if you were to go to the Rowan Memorial Hospital now, you would feel as if you were back in high school; so many of our classmates are there. Jimmy Trotter is the head surgeon and is the hospital’s Romeo. He is constantly surrounded by beautiful nurses. Among them are Mar¬ tha Hoffman, Mary Peeler, Ruth Brattain, Collin Choate, Novice Hilliard, Alice Lee Ritchie, Grace Haynes, and Elizabeth Wheeler. Sarah Ruth Miller and Evelyn Fisher are the dieticians. Jane, have you been to California in the last year? I was out there this spring and got some lovely clothes in Hollywood and Los Angeles. Frances Sweeney de¬ signs most of the stars’ clothes on the M. G. M. lots in Hollywood, and she designed several beautiful dresses for me. On her staff she has Shirley Campbell and Judy Proctor. In Los Angeles I found Sara Goodman at the head of a large dress-making establishment which rivaled Paris on the excellence of its gowns. Ruth Jar¬ rell, Juanita Trexler, and Lonie Troutman were models. Quite a few of our girls have become models. Mary Alice Shannonhouse, Irene Kesler, Betty McMillan, Ruth Gillean and Mary Ruth Lowder are professional photographic models in New York City. Jane, I wonder why so many of our classmates have moved to New York City? I’m really proud of Frances Michael, Jane Daniel, Hazel McSwain, Esther Morris, Anne Laura Cole, and Rankie McKenzie for the fine welfare work they are carrying on in the slums of the city. J. L. Har¬ vey, Floyd Grubb, Kenneth Bost, and Jack Ramsey are at the head of the Welfare Organization. Some of our friends have even crashed into Wall Street. Richard Russell is really a financial tycoon and employs a large staff of people just to take care of his money matters. Wiley C. Guthrie, David Zum Brunnen, James Bas- singer, and James Lentz are his most trusted book¬ keepers, while his most trusted secretarial staff boasts of Doris Foster, Mildred Bostian, Evelyn Peeler, Stella Brown, Evelyn Seamon, and Louise Fricke. By the way, they tell me that Richard has been seeing a good deal of Mary Catherine Conrad, who is the most recent glamour girl of New York City. Washington, D. C. is still my favorite city and I don’t blame our classmates who moved there. Jane, have you seen that super-modern service station on the Baltimore Pike right out of Washington? Grady Peeler, Ollie Beacham, James Smithey and Robert Whffley own it. Bill Jarreit supplies them with oil fraMjEhjg x il wells in Texas. The other day when I drove g JmJe 1 - filling station, I was talking with the boys and they said that Charles Parker, Wayne Koontz, Council Weaver, Bill Webb and Malcom Arey had just driven off. They are electrical engineers, you know, and were on their way to Baltimore to take over new jobs in a big electrical plant there. There are only two other persons from our class that I know of living in Baltimore. They are Polly Long and Frances Peeler, who operate an exclusive finishing school for girls. Goodness, Jane, the way I talk of our friends being in other cities must make you think that none of them live in Salisbury any more. On the contrary, most of them remained true to our home town! Vanda Lippert. Doris Murph and Phil Beck are teaching music in Salis¬ bury. Charles Burkett is the editor of the “Salisbury Evening Post” (which, by the way, has grown immense¬ ly in ten years.”) Jimmy Morton is his photographer and Norma Anderson, Rachael Earnhardt and Char¬ lotte Miller are on the staff as writers. Bernice Gar¬ wood, Hope Goodman, and Doris Kendrick are stenog¬ raphers in the office of the Yadkin Finishing Company. A beautiful new beauty shop has opened in Salisbury with Mamie Willard, Ruth Poe, Kathryn Kluttz, and Vae Reavis at the head. Although Billy Webb owns a big chain of grocery stores, he still lives in the home town. The manager of his store there is Joe Barger. Ralph Kluttz, Otis Gaskey, Willard Fisher, H. G. Mis- enheimer and Fred Roseman are acting as clerks. Car- roll and Harold Bowen are coaches at Boyden High School. Doesn’t that remind you of something, Jane? Remember the high school football games? Several of those boys were cheered on to victory so many times have continued their football careers. “Buck” Williams is a professional football player and Fred Peeler is freshman coach at the University of North Carolina. Pauline Miller is teaching chemistry at Boyden High School and Esther Lesslie is director of the glee club. Grace Haynes and Norma Jean Porter are teaching home economics there. Speaking of the high school re¬ minds me of the Fulton Street Drug Store. Charles Fisher and William Cline are joint owners now and have learned to make milkshakes which would rival even those of Don and Bill when they worked there. Charles and William have, however introduced a new department to the pharmacy—a cosmetic department. Betty Scott Lentz encourages women to buy creams in the hope that their complexions will be as lily-white as hers. Jane, do you remember the time that we went to Lake James for the week-end? We remarked then how beautiful the trees were and what a shame it was that fire should so often destroy them. Well, Harlan Wilhoit is engaged in preserving our woodlands. He has taken up forestry work in the Appalachians and seems to enjoy working near the tuberculosis sanitorium that a group of our old high school friends established. Had you heard of that? A great doctor from Vienna is really in charge, but because he is so busy, Colleen Gaither acts as superintendent. On her staff of nurses are many familiar names. Bobbie Kester, Mildred Hess, Mary Ruth Curlee, Mary Elizabeth Mesiemer, and Marian BraclVm. are among the most skilled nurses. I think of the mountains I always think of j BMP ach lso. This is just the time of year when I WouHUjbv b jef +fiere—in Florida, maybe. Then per- hap pioiSptl tK up some of our old friends. Braxton Young is instructing young aviators in the art of flying in Pensacola, Florida. Claude Roberts, Ralph Maeder, Ledford Gillespie, James Rabon, and Thomas Bolick are mechanics there also. In St. Augustine, Smith Fou- shee, Bill Moore, Marion Stephens and Richard Coun- cill are working on a means of extracting more minerals from the sea. Their valuable work was recently rec¬ ognized by the National Association of Chemists of which Dickie Jones is the president. Going still farther in Florida, I would probably meet Louis Boyd, John Moore and Claude Ritchie, who, I understand, have become agriculturists and have sev¬ eral hundred acres of orange groves. They are good friends of Charles Spry, Jimmy Bruner, Murray Hart- sell, and Harold Lentz who own alligator farms nearby. Oh, Jane, you’d never guess who owns the Miami- Biltmore Hotel now. I was so surprised when I saw Jimmy Page’s picture in the paper as the new owner. He seemed to be enjoying himself immensely as he was surrounded by his beautiful secretaries. Some of them are: Ruby Dillingham, Martha Wall, Ruby Butler and Frances Rufty. It seems that Jimmy puts on a beauty contest every week and two recent winners were Laura Shaver and Edith Stoessel. They were heaped with flowers and were given a free trip to New York City. They said that Estelle Koontz, social editor of the “Bal¬ timore Sun,” gave them a good write-up. Incidentally, I hear that she is engaged to several of the handsome internes at John Hopkins Hospital. Speaking of Estelle, did you read the article she had in the paper the other day commenting on the works of the great machinists of our day? Among the famous names I noticed the ones of Fletcher Hodges, M. B. Van Poole and Clifford Mize. Jane, have you tried that new polka dot fingernail polish? And to think that Harold Kenerly invented it! Isn’t it amazing what the chemists in the Dupont fac¬ tories can do? I understand that Norman Ridenhour, Stanley Cole and Thomas McDaniel are also employed by the share honors with leading women chemists like Vera Frye and Mary Frances Nassif. Jane, I received a letter the other day from Rachael Trexler. She’s designing clothes now in Paris, you know. She said that she is engaged to a French noble¬ man. Isn’t that romantic? She also said that she had lately seen Janet McCanless, hostess on one of the Clip¬ per ships, and Carolene Rink, famous violinist, who is on a concert tour of Europe. I wish that Rachael would come back to the state on her honeymoon. She would be in good hands coming over, because Norman Lentz, Elmer Cline, Burton Barringer, and Melvin Morris are employed in the Transatlantic Shipping Company. Then the railways would take her any place in the United States that she wished to go. Perhaps J. C. Brown and Kay Fisher, who are executives in the Southern Railway Company, would charter her private car. It would cer¬ tainly be nice having her home. Honestly, Jane, it just seems like I never hear of anything or of what anybody is doing. Please do write me and tell me all the latest gossip and news—I do like to keep up with things, you know. Jane, I really can’t think of anything to say and so I’ll just end this brief letter. Tell Dick and Little Bobby “hello” for me. Love, NANCY JACKSON. Prophetess.
