t� tn m tfj mm m She Seniors i Now that we are seniors, May the happiness that is ours, In the class of forty-eight, Be with us through the years, May we always remember That we may dispose of heartaches, This, our graduation date. And rid ourselves of fears. May our days be merry, Someday when we are older, And our lives be long, And our lives are almost spent, Like the perfected rhythm, We shan’t forget our senior year Of a great and gallant song. And all the things it meant. m mi lit w in ..4 m nt Jl £JL 9 8 TSoc c jz i SHi ' A. ScJu oC CaScct ssTLCLs ROWAN SA L PUBLIC LIBRARY ISBURY, N.C ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY SALISBURY.

The community has undergone many changes in the last eighteen years and this group has felt and weathered them all. Having been born in the dark days of 1930, we were considered a crop of depression babies. We survived the hard times, however, and in pigtails and kneepants we faced adventures with the three R ' s. In 1941, our country was plunged into war. Even at the age of eleven we were concerned about our future. Though we weren ' t old enough to take an active part in the war, we felt that we, as a part of the community, should do everything we could to help win the peace. With our pennies, defense stamps, victory stamps, war stamps were bought; waste paper was collected; and air raid drills were practiced. We took the circumstances that war causes in our stride. About this time, another grade was added to our school system and, as a result, we are the first entire group to complete the full twelve year curriculum. Higher school taxes were needed with this addition; these taxes had to be voted on by our parents. We distributed pamphlets and helped to influence our elders to vote for them. Two such elections have been successful since we have been in school, and there is a hint of pride among us that we helped make them so. In 1944 we were ready for the long awaited day—our entrance into Boyden High School. School was delayed because of a polio epidemic that had ravaged this part of the country. When the doors were opened on September the eighteenth, it was a rainy day, but this did not dampen our spirits. We were a hopeful lot, and looked for brighter days to come. During the past four years the faculty has seemed to play fruit basket turnover. Three different principals we have had, three different head coaches, three different librarians, and many, many changes in the different departments. We accredit these variations to the war; at least we hope we haven ' t been such problem children that we have forced them. With the coming of peace in 1945, we found many veterans were returning to high school. They were accepted into the fold, not as older men, but as fellow students. During the year that we were Juniors, many of us went to Raleigh on chartered buses. There we saw our state legislature in session and met the congressmen from this community. Our class has been a group with much individuality, one which has shown great interest in selecting vocations. In November, we Seniors sponsored College Day. It was on this day that representatives from different colleges in the state came to talk over the problems that arise when many of us try to squeeze into the institutions of higher learning. Some weeks later, Career Day was held for the first time in Boyden. People with different vocations in Salisbury held discussion groups about the advan¬ tages and disadvantages of their work. Career Day was a help to those not going to college as well as to those that are. The Yellow Jacket Staff deserve much credit for the wonderful job they have done this year. In addition to printing an excellent paper almost every week, they published the handbook, Black and Gold, helped put on a fifteen minute radio broadcast every week over WSTP, and have kept the community informed of the activities of the Stu¬ dents at Boyden through the Salisbury Evening Post. The Yellow Jacket Staff have truly brought a closer relationship between Salisbury and Boyden. The influence of the Class of ' 48 has been felt throughout the cify. Most of its members are associated with the church, the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A., the Kiwanis Club, Rotary Club, or some other civic organization. The Youth Center also claims a large percentage of this class as members. The students at Boyden are learning to govern themselves in high school so that they will know how it is to be done when they take their places in adult civic life. The Student Council has really made a name for itself this year. The revising of the constitution was the first great undertaking. Then in April the Student Council was host to the Western District North Carolina Student Council Congress. About fifty schools were represented here with two hundred delegates. A dance and a banquet at the Yadkin Hotel afforded the entertainment for the delegates. Pleasure was not the purpose of the meeting, however, and they showed this when they attended differ¬ ent discussion groups under the theme Democratic Participation in Student Council Activities. The Sociology Council, which was formed this year, for the first time, by the Seniors, has sponsored many drives to help the community. Campaigns for Red Cross membership, tuberculosis, polio, and community chest contributions have been more than successful. Too, baskets of food were distributed to the needy at Thanksgiving. The community has done much for us also. Many people have offered trophies to students at Boyden who excel in different fields. The merchants have been very helpful to our D.E. and D.O. students. The people of the city have helped expand the recrea¬ tional and athletic program. The civic clubs bought sweaters for the football team and watches for the coaches after our team won the Dairy Bowl against Chester, South Carolina, and were acclaimed one of the best teams in the state. Yes, we ' ve had our ups and downs. The road ahead is still uncertain, but you may be sure that whatever is in store for us, we will be prepared to face. Our teachers, parents, and members of the community have made the road broader, straighter, and the load lighter; for this we shall be ever grateful.

V. m , i: T l yf It C 7jh; the truth, the average age is 18; however, a girl may lie, because it is said that girls never get older than 16. After being elected Statistician in the final election on December 3, 1947, I hurried home. All the way home the word statistician kept racing back and forth through my mind. Upon arriving home, I hurriedly opened the dictionary to the word statistician. Immediately following were four words, one skilled in statistics ! Turning to the word statistics, I found the real meaning of statistician: The science of the classification and arrangement of facts relating to the condition of a people or class, domestic economy, health, long life, etc. After reading this, I had a picture of the duties of a statistician. After much work in collecting facts and figures for the greatest group ever assembled here at Boyden High School, I uncovered the following facts concerning the great Class of ' 48, or in Miss Lippard ' s own words, the best yet. The average height of this group of dignified seniors is five feet six and one half inches. This was elevated quite a bit by a trio of six-feet-six- inchers, such as Dorsett, Cline, and Kirkner. World War II helped uncover Atomic power which shortened the war, but right here at Boyden, Atomic Smith was uncovered; he helped to raise the average weight to 130 pounds, and to bolster Coach Ludwig ' s big forward wall. (A plug for the great foot¬ ball team of ' 47.) Shoes range from a very small 4 to a large 12. As a rule the sizes are small and after a little arithmetic was applied, we found the average shoe to be only seven and one-half. Brown eyes prevail with a 48% majority. Blue runs a close second with 42%—the remaining 10% being mixed and crossed. One girl claims she has black eyes, but up to date, we have had no luck in locating her, to see this rarity. Of this class 65% plan on furthering their education. The remaining 35% expect to obtain moTe knowledge by working, doing nothing, and get¬ ting married. When Roy Bailey was approached with the question concern¬ ing marriage, he gave his whole-hearted approval. If everyone ti tell a little “whj Football-was the favorite sport with 40% of the class. Basketball ran second wifh 32% and then came baseball with 20%. Swimming, tennis, fishing ' dnd skating had 8%. When asked how they woke up in the morning, 52% said sleepy; 34% when Mother calls; and 10% tired, the remaining 4%, cross, O.K,, and pretty. Nobody will believe this, but Ray Wyatt said he woke up in bed. As for the hair, brunettes rule with a total of 64%. Their closest rival is blondes, with only 30%; 6% said they were black or red heads. The favorite dish is chicken, steak, and ice cream, but one can ' t leave out a sandwich and a limeade which stand high in the rating. A few said their favorite dish was fish. Hobbies range--from dating to sleeping. In one young lady ' s opinion, she could-see no ' difference in the two. Some fellow that goes by the name of Martin said his hobby was photography. Picture that! Most of the free time these busy students have is spent loafing, dating, and eating. The favorite radio programs were Night Mayor and It Pays to B Ignorant. Johnsie McDaniel said she liked Superman. She surely could use one to keep the wolves away. Are you in lq� %? was a draw with the Seniors of ' 48. Some aid, Yea, man ; others just plain No. Are you good looking? also rew .. one wonders if the class had any conceited people ; it. Did you really enjoy your stay here at Boyden? got a 100% yes rom the class. Salisbury is to be the home of 75% of this clas3; v where the remi_, 25% will settle down is yet unknown. Shorty..-Garwood and Sam Chan were the cuties in this group, both coming from communities known ovel the entire globe as the crossroads of the world; they are Chestnut Hill and Shank Town respectively. The above facts and figures concerning the Class of 1948 re true to the best of my knowledge. To this document I, the Statis do solemnly affix my signature. — of this, the bi ROBERT LEWIS Statistician (Z Z3- From The Class Of ' 48 . . . We, the members of the Boyden High School Class of 1948, in order to perpetuate the high ideals, traits, and qualities acquired and exhibited by us during our all too brief stay at this beloved institution of higher learning, do make this—our Last Will and Testament: First: To the citizens of Salisbury go our thanks for Boyden High School, and for the fine support they have given us in all our activities. We hope to repay them in part for their consideration and generosity by becoming full-fledged citizens of the community. Second: We leave our deepest love and gratitude to our parents, who have loved us, cared for us, and guided us in our preparations for our life ' s work. May we live up to their fondest hopes and greatest expectations. Third: To Mr. J. H. Knox, our superintendent; Mr. J. H. Nettles, Mr. J. W. Gaddy, Jr., and Miss Julia Groves, the three principals during our stay at Boyden; and to all the members of the faculty, we leave our sincere appreciation for their efforts to make our school careers successful and profitable. Fourth: Joe Satterfield leaves his oratorical ability, along with his twenty-six volumes on How to Make Speeches and Keep Audiences Awake to Jimmy McCutchan. Fifth: Johnny Culbertson and Wheatie Williams combine their collec¬ tions of puns and wisecracks and donate them to Bobby Lewis, so that he may carry on their cause. Sixth: Rod Nicol, that reformed Yankee, and June Rainey bequeath their ability to get along with everyone to Dwight Shoe and Shirley Peeler. Seventh: The musical ability of Fred Safrit is passed on to Vincent Woodford; that of Evelyn Gillespie is left to Margaret Heck. Eighth: Ben McCubbins is the recipient of Richard Cauble ' s ability to grab a football at the crucial moment and run with it. Ninth: Nell Kendrick wills her vocal talents to Mary Jo Reid. Here ' s hoping that Mary Jo carries on Nell ' s good work. , Tenth: Bill Cline, reluctantly and after much persuasion, bestows a portion of his height on Jimmy Beanie Rodgers, as if he weren ' t tall enough now. Eleventh: Shutter-Bug Benny Martin bequeaths his collection of cam¬ eras, tripods, photographic gadgets and paraphernalia, along with six dozen flash bulbs, to Johnny Nettles. Twelfth: Jerry Honeycutt and Jimmy Epting are the beneficiaries of Hinkle Thompson ' s and Bill Cohen ' s ability to sling out towels in the dressing room. Thirteenth: Kat Hart and Reid Dorsett leave their ability to cut a rug to anyone as well qualified as they are. Fourteenth: Jeane Junker ' s fashion-setting taste for clothes is to go to Bernice Levenson. Fifteenth: Anne Tatum wills her sweet disposition to Jo Alsobrooks. Sixteenth: Richard Lentz, that Casanova of the Senior Class, leaves his good looks and personality to Jerry Rufty. Seventeenth: To the Freshmen: You, the youngest members of Boyden ' s family, have three more years to enjoy at Boyden. Make the most of them. Eighteenth: To the Sophomores: You are half way through your high school careers. You should begin to assume more responsibility in Boyden ' s activities. Nineteenth: To the Juniors: You, who have only one remaining year at Boyden, will be the leaders next year. It is up to you to decide what type of leadership to exert as Seniors. Now, therefore, we, the Senior Class of Boyden High School, being of sound minds and strong bodies, and realizing that our high school careers are soon to be terminated, do place the responsibility of living up to the standards set by this and preceding Senior Classes of Boyden High School on the shoulders of the underclassmen in this, our Last Will and Testament, and do appoint as sole executor, Coach W. S. Ludwig. Witnesses: LANDON CARROLL HECK JOHN HEYWARD NETTLES TOM ENNIS, Lawyer . . . Classmates . . . Work And Play . . . Support And Interest Of Civic Groups . . . Churches . . . Homes . . .

The fighting Yellow Jacket spirit and enthusiasm returned threefold this year, reaping a harvest of 9 wins and 3 losses. No one individual star stood out; instead the whole team worked together as one mighty powerhouse to bring glory to Boyden. This football season was a freak one, because about 8 out of 10 games were played in the mud and rain. The High Point game, especially, will never be forgotten because about 6 inches of mud covered the gridiron. The ' 47-48 season started off with the local team green and inexperienced, and the first game ended with Lexington on top 13 to 0. The following week, Burlington came to Boyden and fought hard to win by the narrow margin of 13 to 12. Next, Gastonia ' s Green Wave traveled to Salisbury to be beaten by an improved and experienced Yellow Jacket team 13 to 12. Then the Yellow Jackets made the next trip to High Point to down the Bisons on a mud-soaked field by the score of 6 to 0. The Kannapolis Towel City team felt the next sting from the Yellow Jackets by absorbing a tingling 26 to 0 defeat. During the following week, Bob Gnatt and Company from Albemarle succumbed to the Yellow Jackets ' power by a score of 13 to 0. Luck changed, however, and the Jackets journeyed to Greensboro on Halloween only to be beaten by the narrow margin of 14 to 12. Coach Fant Kelly ' s Railroaders were derailed by the Yellow Jackets ' fighting machine 30 to 0. Barium Springs yielded to the Yellow Jackets in a clean, hard-fought game, 31 to 0. The Homecoming game with Winston-Salem proved no push-over as Boyden eased over one touchdown to make Homecoming Day a success. The Asheville Mountaineers then felt the blow of the boys from the Piedmont. When the final gun sounded, Salisbury was on top 15 to 0. Two weeks later, on a muddy and very cold field, Salisbury ' s Yellow Jackets ran roughshod over the boys from Chester, South Carolina, 18 to 0. Following the game, many honors were given the team. Those extra two weeks of practice paid off in rich dividends by Boyden ' s capture of the Dairy Bowl Game. ] J 26 L t nJ ■h jk JPj itj. ' IP (1) Cauble to Randall, good for six points. Dairy Bowl.

C? Cc lurUr ' Orct C 7y C o6u jL Fasten you safety belts, please, was the statement that jarred me back to my senses. I suppose I was day dreaming of the good ol ' times at Boyden and hoping that I ' d experience a few of them again in the coming days. For this was Boyden High ' s 1958 Homecoming and also my first visit to Salisbury since graduation ten years ago. As the plane zoomed over Salisbury, I realized that this was no more a small town, but now a busy ever-growing metropolis. Upon landing, I found that Salisbury had a new modern airport. Hailing an important looking fellow, I asked him for directions to the taxi stands. Getting a better look, I knew that this was Donald Naile and, upon inquiring, I discovered that he was now chief aircraft mechanic here. I also learned from him that the first event of Homecoming would be a banquet at 6:30 P. M. This gave me a whole day to scout around town and see some of the sights. Taking a cab, which was, incidentally, a Kirk ' s Taxi, now owned by none other than Nina Jo Kirk, I asked the driver to take me to a good hotel. As the cab cruised along, I realized I did not recognize this part of town. Curiosity getting the better of me, I asked the driver where we were. He informed me that we were in one of Salisbury ' s larger suburbs, better known as Pinkstonville, built entirely by the Pinkston Construction Company now owned by Jimmy Pinkston. He also informed me that this was no sight-seeing bus, but that I could rent one down town. Arriving at a large, impressive hotel, I went inside and registered. I thought I recognized the face behind the desk; I did, for it was Bob Isenhour, manager of a large chain of hotels, with headquarters in Salisbury. After a long chat with Bob, I browsed around the lobby. It seemed that I was not the only alumnus staying here, for I began seeing many familiar faces. The first recognizable group I ran into happened to be Sonny Epting, Bill Poplin, Chocolate File, Ned Donkle, Bill Johnson, and Frank Lyerly. I learned later that they were all traveling salesmen. On a sofa sat two young ladies who also looked familiar. They were Jean Campbell and Elaine Gillis, who were authorities on family life and were at the present time giving lectures in the local churches. While I was chatting with them, several other young ladies joined them. They were Mary Spencer, Jane Hubbard, and Nancy K. Ramsey who were buyers for several large department stores. After a while I realized that I had not yet seen the greater part of Salisbury. Following the sug¬ gestion made by the cab driver, I decided to take a sight seeing bus. As I was about to get aboard the bus, a huge limousine with two chauffeurs in front and a man of obvious wealth in the back whizzed by. I inquired of the driver who this person might be. He replied that this was Frank P. B. Buck, sole owner and producer of the Buckamobile, America ' s most stylish and up-to-date automobile. I was also informed by the driver that Mr. Buck was now married to the former Miss Tillie Ford. On our first lap of the tour, we covered many new and interesting places. The guide handed me a pamphlet printed by the chamber of commerce entitled, Salisbury, Ten Years of Progress. I attempted to read this between stops. One point of especial interest was the Satterfield Memorial Park. The guide pointed out that this addition to Salisbury was made during the administration of Mayor Joe Satterfield and that the land¬ scaping was done by his brother, Jack Satterfield. He also said that Joe had announced his candidacy for governor in the next election and was favored to win. Other familiar names of persons running for election to government offices were: Paul Smith for U. S. House of Representatives, and June Rainey for U. S. Senate. June was North Carolina ' s first woman candidate for Senate. A list of city officials was printed in the pamphlet. Among the familiar names were: Banks Ever¬ hart, city manager; Dan Satterwhite, city engineer; Anne Low Tatum, welfare officer; Vivian Limerick, health officer; Roy Dickson, city auditor; and Kathryn Friday and Mary Mabry, Youth Center directors. Our next stop was the Salisbury Veterans ' Hospital, built only recently by the Sam Chandgie Con¬ struction Company. Chief surgeon at this thousand-acre hospital was Dr. Elmore House. Other members of the staff were: Dr. Charlie Haynes, Dr. John Crip Horton, and Dr. Patsy Somers, specialist in physical therapy. Chief nurse here was Reba Harrel; her assistants were Micky Collins and Peggy Fish. Leaving the hospital, we approached the textile district. The first large plant we came to was the Cauble-Cline Textile Mills. Wondering what kind of textiles Richard and Bill had gone into, I leaned over and inquired of the young lady next to me. When she blushed, I pressed the point no further. The next plant was practically covered up by a tremendous sign which read: The Barringer Mills, Inc.: Billie Lee Barringer—Pres., Ken Carter—Chief Textile Engineer. Next came the business district. The Wallace Building still was Salisbury ' s skyscraper but had an additional hundred stories and was now known as the Cohen Building. It had been remodeled and was now owned by the contracting tycoon, Bill Cohen. Leaving the bus, I decided to give the building a once-over and to see if I could locate any old school cronies. (On the first floor wasi the drug store although more modern now, still the same drug store.) Glancing at the sign in front, I noticed that this was no longer Innes St. Drug Company but now Fairley ' s Drug Company, headquarters for Fairley Drug Stores all over the country. I bumped into Bob coming out of the door and, after we had exchanged greetings, he offered to show me over the building. Taking an elevator we zoomed up 20 or 30 floors to an abrupt halt. Our first stop was a tremendous office which covered the whole floor. A sign on the door said, The Brantley-Riley Advertising Agency. That name sounded vaguely familiar. Wading through a host of secretaries, whom I found out later to be: Mary L. Atwell, Mildred Barringer, Dot Bradshaw, Lois Millis, Margaret Morgan, Joyce Rodgers, Joanna Sink, Addie Mae Steele, and Peggy Stephenson, I made my way toward the door of the inner office marked Mr. Riley. Talking with Jason a while I learned that his partner, June Brantley, was in New York on business but would be back for the homecoming celebration. On the next floor was one of the nation ' s leading law firms: The Hobson, Horton, and Nicol Law Co. Sophie, Jimmy, and Rod had won international fame, handling many leading cases of the day At present they were working on the case of the missing Buick Rings and seemed so intent on it that I decided not to bother them. This business firm certainly had their share of good-looking secretaries. Some I recognized were: Shorty Garwood, Kat Hart, Marilyn Kerr, Johnsie McDaniel, and Betty Reeves. On the next floor was Salisbury ' s leading dentist, Dr. Karl Overcash, and on the very top floor was the Huddersfield, Hobokon Accounting Co.; here were Tom Ennis, Richmond Woodson and Becky Lentz. Occupying the pent house office was John Penick, who was now a famous commercial artist I recognized a few of his secretaries: Mildred Durant, Jerry Peninger, Mary Ruth Van Poole and Margaret Whitley. Glancing at my watch, I decided it was time to leave this building; I told Bob qood-bye and strolled down Main Street. Many familiar names appeared on signs in front of prominent looking stores. The first one I noticed was Safrit ' s Shoe Store; it was one of the finest establishments I had ever seen Bill was standing in front drumming up business. I stopped and we began talking over old times. He mentioned that Georqe Peeler ran Salisbury s leading furniture store, and Harry Hurley, class of ' 48 ' s best dressed boy was owner of a haberdashery, and still held his title. He also said that the class had three members who were ministers: Ronald Jordon, Bill Smith, and Charles Lemley, and their secretaries were Jane McGirt Betty Russell, and Lois Thompson, respectively. He also said that Hinkel Thompson had a job at the Victory Theater, carrying dead cowboys out on Saturdays; Wayne Holshouser had an upholstering business; Bob Lindsay and Bettie Torrence were partners in a photographer ' s studio, and Ed Kluttz was owner of the world s largest cabinet making establishment. GciOOO r- C 7 C £u US jL ' Promising Bill I ' d see him at the banquet or game, I mosied on up the street. After only a sfoort walk I came upon a department store which Bill had failed to mention. Entering the store I saw a floor-walker and went over to question him. I learned that this store was owned and operated by two members of the class of ' 48, Doris Cox and Jeane Junker. The fine window decorating was done by Colleen Hartley. He also mentioned several department managers whose names sounded familiar: Doris Cress, Doris Helms, Gladys Hill, and Jean Kincaid. Bookkeepers were Clarice Hall and Kathryn Moore. He ’also emphasized that all ready-to-wear sold in his store was designed especially by Mile. Pam Mullis of Paris, New York, and Salisbury. Heading back to the hotel I passed several other familiar establishments: Cole s Jewelry Store, Ted Cole, manager, and, believe it or not, Dorsett ' s Barber Shop, Reid Dorsett, owner. Reid said that shaved heads would be the style of ' 59; this made me feel a little better as I have been bald-headed for five years. Reaching the hotel I ate a delicious meal prepared by Chef Roy Bailey. In the lobby I picked up a newspaper, the name of which was the Kirkner Globe Encireler, the owner being Curtis Kirkner; editors were Ann Francis and Dot Canup, nationally known journalists, and Johnny Miller, comic editor. Browsing through the paper I noticed an article ' ' Advice to the Lovelorn by Eleanor Rendleman. Turning to the sports section, I saw in boxcar letters, Local Boys Make Good. Two local boys sign contracts with New York Yankees. They were Kenny Bond, catcher, and Harry Griggs, pitcher. On the next page, also in boxcar headlines, were: Boyden Yellow Jackets face greatest rival of all times—- Spencer. ' In smaller print appeared: Coach Ray Wyatt ' s fighting eleven prepare to meet Coach Rog Cameron ' s scrappy Spencer eleven. This should prove to be the best game of the season since this is the final game for both undefeated teams. The next section was the comics; I immediately looked for my favorite strip. Yes, there it was— Betty Sue, the story of the girl who has boy friends she ' ain ' t ' ever used, by that international cartoonist, Hal Ervin. I often wonder where he got the material for this script. In the next section I recognized some of the names in the news. One article stated that it was rumored that Professor John Culbertson was to replace Profesosr Albert Einstein, who is expected to retire next month, on the Atomic Project. The reason for this is Professor Culbertson ' s recent theory called the Culbertson Theory of the Fifth Dimension. Rachel Gillean and Bob Bueck, both assistants of the professor, are also expected to receive high posts in the scientific world for their untiring efforts in connection with this. Next was a full page ad, announcing the Eleventh Annual Rowan County Fair. This year, Salisbury was privileged to have the largest mobile amusement show on earth—the world renowned Harvey Brooks shows. Glancing at my watch I discovered that time had passed quicker than I had hoped it would. So after a quick shower, I was on my way to the banquet, which was being held in the dining room of the fashionable Linder Hotel. The dining room was being loaned to the Class of ' 48 through the courtesy of Bob Linder. At the hotel I saw throngs of people I recognized. Many like myself were from other towns. Two very distinguished guests who were in the armed service were Admiral Tommy Sedberry and Capt. Harry Agner of the Royal Mounted Police. Other guests there that I recognized were: Marion Morris, owner of a nation-wide wholesale company; Jane Adams, Martha Alexander, Doris Barber, Christine Cartin, Peggy Cauble, Mary Kathryn Shipton, Joy Gheen, Jean Walser, and Phyllis Crowell had all married and settled down in their hometown. Warren Kluttz and Richard Freeze were also there; they were in the electrical repair business and seemed quite prosperous. The Master of Ceremonies was the present principal of Boyden High School, Joe Randall, and the guest speaker was the first woman president of Catawba College,. Nancy Peeler. After a brief speech by Dr. Peeler, the program was turned over to Mr. Randall. He announced that we would be honored by five of the world ' s leading stars of stage and screen. First he introduced the Hit Parade singers of the day, Nell Kendrick, Donna Kluttz, and Barbara Harris, who had replaced the Andrews Sisters. After a song which sounded something like Temptatioh, Mr. Randall introduced the remaining two actors, the Abbott and Costello of ' 58, Bill Perkins and Wheatie Williams. At the time, this team was touring the country with Fred Safrit, King of American Jazz. Fred ' s band furnished the music for the banquet. After a most enjoyable time, we all left for me game. Arriving at the new stadium, which was, incidentally, built by the combined Hi-Y ' s and Key Club of ' 48, I found a comfortable seat and glanced through the program before the game. As I began, someone tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I would be interested in buying a ticket to hear the world renowned piano artist, Evelyn Gillespie, who was to play in Salisbury the following week. As I said no for the thirteenth time, I realized that this must be Jean Phillips. It was. Jean told me that she was teaching, and that a good many other members of our class were teachers. She men¬ tioned several of these: Pat Pitts and Mildred Miller had their own kindergarten, while Sara Jean Arey, Betty Sue Cohen, Peggy Jo Dickens, Alda Clark, Barbara Morris, and Dot Rink were teaching at Boyden. Marilyn Snort Surratt was giving lessons over a national network on how to reduce in ten easy lessons. It seems that everyone who had taken the lessons had good results except Marilyn. When Jean left, I had bought six tickets and promised to buy three more. Glancing through the progrcto once more, I discovered several advertisements whose names had a familiar ring to them. A complete page advertised D. L. Ruity ' s six great super markets: Salisbury, Concord, Kannapolis, Mooresvijle, Statesville, and Lincolnton. There was also a full page advertising the Clarence Beaver Heating and Lighting Company. At this time the loudspeaker boomed, announcing the lineup for the game. At this point the announcer stated that the homecoming queen ' s flowers were donated through the courtesy of Mr. Richard Lentz and Mr. Jimmy Wood of the Lentz-Wood Florist and that this game was being broad¬ cast over a nation-wide hook-up made possible by Station B-R-A-Y, Tommy Bray, owner and operator. The excitement began with the Yellow Jackets kicking to the Spencer team. However, neither team had scored at the half. At this time the great Boyden High School Band performed. It was now con- idered the best in the state and was under the capable direction of Bill Loflin. During the last quarter Spencer scored and during the last minute, the scoreboard read 6-0, Spencer ' s favor. At the climaxing moment, Jr. Wyatt, son of the coach, intercepted a pass and raced ninety yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good and once more Boyden remained victor over Spencer. As the crowd roared, an ambulance pulled over to the sideline. Coach Wyatt had passed out. The nameplate on the ambulance said Leazer-Beacham. Evidently Corillia Leazer and Betty Beacham had fulfilled their life-long ambition to be undertakers. Glancing at my watch, I discovered I had just enough time to catch my plane. Picking up my bags at the hotel, I proceeded to the airport where I boarded my plane for home. As I settled down in my chair, I thought of how everybody and everything had changed since I last saw Salisbury. Out of the whole class of ' 48, I had seen or heard from everybody. But wait, I hadn ' t seen everybody, for as I sat there, I realized that I had not seen my old cronie, Benny Martin. As I was thinking this, I hap¬ pened to look out the window and when I did, I not only realized that I had seen everybody, but now I had seen everything; there sat Benny on the wing of the plane trying to take a profile pose of the man in the moon. You, The Citizens Of Salisbury, As Well As The Class Of ’48, Have Worked To Make This Story Possible. Again We Thank You.
