THE WAGRUB MARION JOHNSON Editor-in-Chief GARY TRAWICK Business Manager ANNUAL PUBLICATION FOREWORD All nature is but art, unknown to thee; All chance, direction, which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good; And spite of pride, in erring reason's spite, One truth is clear, Whatever is, is right. - Alexander Pope CONTENTS The WAGRUB......................................Page 1 Administration..................................Page 5 Classes .......................................

With hearts so true and loyal, Our highest tributes bring; To you we'll e'er be faithful, To you we'll always sing. Oh, may our Alma Mater ever, In culture, pow'r, and might, Move on in ev'ry feature, Of the honor we know right. And may the love that binds us Protect what e'er we do, While thoughts always noble Inspire and keep us true. Chorus: Alma Mater, we love thee; ' Our hearts are sincere and true. Alma Mater, we love thee With a love, a love that is ever new. Your ideals that we cherish, Inspire us to heights unknown, Alma Mater, we love thee, We go on and on and on, -Dorothy Turlington DEDICATION We humbly offer the dedication of this annual to the efforts of a woman, who as a teacher and counselor, has given freely so much of herself to us. With love she has guided; with experience and with knowledge she has taught. As advisor of the Beta Club she has gained respect, therefore giving us a club we are proud of at Burgaw High. Her contributions to the science department in our school are many and varied. The belief she has in her students has been a constant reminder to them that they can attain their goals in life. This is a small token of our apprecia- tion, but we dedicate with deep gratitude and sincere affection the 1963 WAGRUB to MISS MARGARET SHAW 4 Che c k t hos e W a rru b 9ttv is ors: . . . . 1 .A. i What was decided aathe school board . . . .Come on oell.ring! ....

Throughout our school days they have beckoned, enlightened, inspired, and guided us. Were it not for the help of our teachers, many of the things at school which we take for granted would not be possible. Each of us enjoys our clubs, school paper, and annual, and so many extras which would not be possible but for the help and guidance of our teachers. Few of us appreciate fully the many hours of unrewarded service given by these people. For their enduring patience and help to the entire student body, we are sincerely grateful, but we appreciate even more the many ways our teachers have helped each of us individually. 10 MASCOTS On February 4, 1963, the seniors elected their mascots. Shown above are those that were chosen among nineteen other little boys and girls. They are Larry Wilson and Kimberly English. Larry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Wilson and Kimberly is the daughter of Mrs. Geneva English. CLASS MOTTO Today has been reached; now we must strive for tomorrow.

Wright Marilyn Mary Jo Kelly Gene CLASS HISTORY 1959-1960 was our first venture into high school. In the fall of this year, as freshmen, we ascended the stairs of Burgaw High School. We started off our year by electing our class officers. They were: Fred Kessler, Presi- dent; Kenneth Futch, Vice President; Allen James, Secretary; Wayne Cowan, Treasurer; andBertice Lanier, Reporter. We had twelve girls who went out for cheering. These girls cheered at one varsity game. Gail Pridgen and Gail Herring represented our class on the varsity basketball team. Now we were sophomores! Many things happened. Kenneth Futch, Marie Blackmore, Fred Kessler, Jane Lanier, and Allen James led our class. Carol Cantwell, Marion John- son, and Virginia Richardson were elected to be regular cheerleaders. Sandra Pridgen made All County in basketball. Around the middle of the year, we reached the glorious age of sixteen and got our license. The time soon came for the Junior-Senior Banquet. From our class, twenty-four girls and boys were elected as waiters and waitresses. Marie Blackmore and Fred Kessler were chosen as the heads of this group. The Latin Banquet was also started this year and many pf our able sophomores helped to make it a success. This was really a happy year for all. In August, 1961, we entered our high school a little more grown up because we were juniors. Gary Trawick, Fred Kessler, Marion Johnson, Cheryl McNeill, and Jane Lanier led our class this year. Ann Batson was added to our varsity cheering squad. Our class entered a float in our first parade for homecoming. Peggy Ramsey was our repre- sentative in the Homecoming Court. In the spring of 1962, we worked hard getting ready for OUR Junior-Senior. Our Theme was South Pacific . We met our deadlines and everything turned our perfectly. As the closing of the year neared, we ordered our class rings and prepared for the three months wait! We are now dignified seniors! Gary Trawick is our class President with Cheryl McNeill, Vice-President; Marion Johnson, Secretary; David Sanderson, Treasurer; and Fred Kessler, Reporter. Our class was en- larged this year by the consolidation of our high school with Long Creek. Now we have eighty seniors, the largest graduating class Burgaw High has ever had. Soon after the beginning of the year, we received our treas- ured class rings. We have three new varsity cheerleaders from Long Creek, Jennings Jarrett being the only senior. Marion Johnson served as the chief cheerleader this year. We'll always remember those games we won in football this year and how proud we were of our boys. As always, the high spot of foot- ball was Homecoming. Jennings Jarrett was our new Homecoming Queen; Virginia Rich- ardson was Maid of Honor; Marion Johnson was the Monogram Representative; and Peggy Ramsey was Senior Representative. Everyone enjoyed the bonfire, the game (which we won), and the dance afterwards. At the end of foot- ball season, Larry Henderson and Julian Wooten were named to the Southeastern All Conference team. Gary Trawick also received honorable mention. The seniors are proud to be well represented on this year's basketball team. Gail Pridgen and Gail Herring are the girl's captains and Wayne Cowan and Allen James are two of thetri-captains of the boy's team. Now we are looking forward to the re- mainder of our last year at B.H.S.,the Junior- Senior Banquet and Prom, and that final day when we shall receive our rewards, our diplo- mas.

ELEMENTARY STUDENT With our school days at their close, we pause to look back upon the friends and the happiness we have had. This year has been one filled with many experiences which we will never forget. The joys, the sorrows, the hopes, the dreams, the fun, and the hard work--these are all parts of our memories. The doors of Burgaw High opened again on August 30, 1962. It was the end of a glorious summer and the beginning of a new school year to be packed with excite- ment for everyone. Our high school was greatly enlarged by the consolidation of Long Creek Grady with Burgaw. With this increase, many more opportunities were given to us. The cheerleaders enjoyed a hamburger fry at Mrs. Thompson's in the latter part of August. None of the girls realized until then just what a good cook Mr. Thompson was! September was started off with a bang, especially for the seniors. They received their long-awaited class rings. The underclassmen really gave envious looks! Our football team gave everyone something to talk about. Those at the Chadbourn ball- game will never forget that night. We had WON the game! October rolled around and it was homecoming time again. There was a bonfire on Thursday night and the four classes in high school were well represented. Friday afternoon finally came and it was a beautiful day for the parade. That night the boys played Dixon and won with a score of 33-0! Jennings Jarrett was crowned Home- coming queen during the half-time ceremonies. Virginia Richardson was the Maid- of-Honor and Marion Johnson, Monogram Representative. Peggy Ramsey, Linda Gorsky, Amelia Leimone, and Patsy Mozingo represented their respective classes. The Monogram Club sponsored a dance after the game. Halloween came and we dis- covered the next day at school that we really were at Prison Unit No. 035! November and assembly programs! This was a new phase of our school year. All the students looked forward to going to the auditorium every other week for a program presented by the individual homerooms. Thanksgiving and a little vaca- tion—oh boy! commission ii LIFE December next and the last month of 1962. Basketball was in the athletic spotlight. The Glee Club presented a concert at P.T.A. and at an assembly program. This group consisted of a slightly fewer number from years past because it was taken as a subject this year. Style was an important factor to the students these past few months. Wrap- arounds were the popular choice for the girls and madras shirts for the boys. Weejuns were in for both. We must not fail to mention that faint aroma of English Leather that was quite often detected drifting in the halls! Initiation for the F.H.A. girls was held in December, also. Poor freshmen! The Christmas vacations were welcomed by everyone. Santa was good to all. January, 1963! Oh, what an exciting month. Exams! After these were over the jun- iors started work on the Junior-Senior. This, of course, required money, but this was a necessity for all! The seniors sold magazines and polishing cloths. The juniors sold magazines, had a bake sale, a bridge tournament, and a rummage sale. The sophomores and freshmen sold magazines. February came and for some--the lovers --there was candy! This was an exciting time for many of the sophomores as they were finally getting their driver's license! Beware upperclassmen!! March seemed to be banquet month. The Future Homemakers held their annual ban- quet and the athletic banquet was also held. And then--the Junior-Senior banquet and prom! The theme was The Most Wonderful Night of the Year . That night, March 29, certainly holds wonderful memories for all those that attended. The Beta Convention in Asheville was enjoyed by all those that attended. The Sci- ence Club sent representatives to Chapel Hill for their convention. This was a new club in our school this year and it was really a success. Senior play time soon came and everyone really enjoyed the comedy! The title of the play was TheDefiance of David Charles. The last month of our school year will soon be here. The end of May brings grad- uation for the seniors. This year can only be summed up as great! The entire student body will always remember the good old days at B.H.S.

Mary Ann Batson William Thomas Chaffin, III 107 CLASS While reporting for the NEW YORK TIMES on the development of service stations, your reporter, Allen James, contacted Kenneth Futch, owner of many super Service Cen- ters. He agreed to give me a tour of one of his stations in New Mexico, where many of our old classmates were living. The next day we were bidden farewell by the editor of the newspaper, Hodges Bell. We flew directly to Chaffinville, New Mexico (named after the now famous scientist Bill Chaffin). We were driven from the airport by taxi owner Leroy Barnhill. As we entered Kenneth's station on the escalator, we met Gary Trawick, who told us he was handling a slander case between Mary Fennell and Mary Jo White. We soon came upon the manager, Wright Batson, just returning in his new limousine, chauffered by James Deal. He was returning from a visit at the art studios of Larry Langston and Gail Herring. He had just arranged for pictures to be drawn of models Jennings Jarrett and Peggy Ramsey. He invited us to the afternoon football game. We were accompanied by Dr. Wayne Cowan, Rev. C. W. Casey, and Public Accountant Everett Durham, a few of our old bud- dies. They told us of the opening of a new fabric plant operated by Billie Lou Simmons and DavidSanderson. The multi-million dollar plant was designed by Tim Turner and his assistant, Eugene Murray. As we arrived at the game we met Julian Anderson and his wife, the former Linda Moore. They were accompanied by Bertice Lanier, local dairy rancher, and his fiance Marion Johnson, the head of Chaffinville's women's Democratic Club. She informed us that she was supporting Cheryl McNeill, Freddie Wells, and Mary Saunders for town council. She also said that Elwood Meadows was running for re-election as mayor but was having a close race with Earl Wells. Poor Marion-always talking about politics. Inside the gate we purchased Red Cross candy sold by Marsha Murray, Becky Pear- sall, and Sandra Pridgen, active leaders. During the game we watched star Larry Henderson being carried off the field by team- mates Julian Wooten and Clifford Horrell, all pros. Larry had been kicked several times in the chin by referees Edward Rivenbark and Ralph Croom for making faces at them. Policemen Kelly Meadows was soon on hand to make certain there were no riots. Coach Robert Wells rushed onto the field, but the trouble was soon over. The action seemed to have shaken Mrs. Wooten, the former Marie Blackmore, more than anyone else. She was comforted by Lillian Ann Harrell, Dr. Cowan's assistant. Leaving the game, Reverend Casey was shocked to find Jimmy Price collecting a bet on the game from William Naumuk. He advised them not to commit future sins by betting and recommended reformers Robert Jonkheer and Harold Fields to them. After leaving the game, we went to Sunset Lodge Hotel. We were greeted by Virginia Richardson and Gail Pridgen, the hostess. We were escorted to our room by the owners, Freddie McCoy and Lawrence Grady. From our window we happened to notice Jane Lanier and Nadine Moore's beauty shop. 108 PROPHECY I turned on the television, and immediately there was a special bulletin by news com- mentator Carolyn Meeks that Ronnie Blanchard had just returned successfully from a rocket trip around Mars. He was welcomed back by his brother Donnie, who is a general in the Air Force. We later decided to visit Dr. Fred Kessler, veterinarian, at the Animal's General Hospital. As we arrived, we saw Ann Batson, a teacher at the local high school, leaving with her pet poodle. Inside we saw Fred and his assistant, Mary Ann Jonkheer, working hard to cure his animals. Also there were Bonnie Fulcher, Joan Wooten, and Hazel Riven- bark with their pets to be treated. After talking with Fred for a while, we asked him to name a good place to eat. He recommended Gene Chadwick and Stonie McKoy's restaurant just across town. En route, we were interrupted by Bill George in his hearse going to a funeral. Upon arriving at the restaurant, we were greeted by manager Franklin Lewis. He led us to a table, where we were served by waitresses Linda Byrd and Wanda Harts. Since our bread was stale, we demanded to see the chef. To our surprise we found that there were two: Alan Jordan and Nancy Wells. They told us that it had been delivered that morning by the local baker, Robert Worrell. We decided to return to our hotel. At the hotel we heard much noise in a nearby room. Investigating, we found a friendly bridge game between some of our old classmates. At the first table were Carolyn Hor- rell, Elaine Hardison, Kathleen Meeks and Lynell Taylor. At the other table were Melba Murray, Virginia Harts, Faye Wells, and Marilyn Wells. We asked them to refrain from unnecessary giggling, since we had a long trip to make the next day. As we boarded the plane the next morning, we looked below us and saw Dalton Wells, owner of the air lines. We bade him farewell and took off. Although we did not do much reporting on the service center, we were glad to have seen our former classmates.
