Our four years at Cary have been filled with endless experiences, a few of which we have tried to recall in the pages that follow. The entire staff of this, the 1952 YRAC, has strived diligently to make this Annual one of the best ever- -a book of memories, remini- scences, and recollections to be cherished dearly throughout the com- ing years. We hope we have succeeded in creating in this YRAC a treasured possession of every Senior and Underclassman as well as a symbol of achievement to serve as a goal for future Seniors of Cary High.

FACULTY Message principal s (£arg Cubite jichimls Cary, L aAUL W COOPED, PRINCIPAL My sincere desire for each member of this graduating class is that he may progress toward the greatest height of joyful and successful liv- ing of which he is capable. May he learn early and thoroughly how little such happy living depends on material possessions or conditions May he be fortunate in acquiring an environment conductive to the de- velopment of great character, and successful in making necessary ad- justments on his part. May he be resolute in his effort to find and ac- complish the task God has given him, in the full knowledge that if he should fail, the task will be forever unfinished. May he justify his having lived on the earth by the service he has rendered. Cary High School shall follow with the greatest possible interest the career of these graduates with confidence in each one that should inspire him to his greatest possible achievement. RUTH B.

Class History It was the fifteenth day of September, 1948- -the day eighty - five eager young performers were to begin rehearsals on the new radio drama, HIGH SCHOOL DAYS. As we entered Radio Station CARY for the first act of our drama, we felt as if some other actors would be able to give a much better performance than we could. However, our program directors, Mr. Dunham and Mrs. Phelps, gave us the needed encouragement and it wasn't long before most of us felt at home in front of the microphone. Eighteen of our number, though, were victims of that dreaded disease known as mike fright and thevleft Station CARY to take part in other dramas of life. This year Shirley Russell died . taking a good performer from the cast and leaving sorrow in the hearts of all of us. After a short break between rehearsals, we began the second act, Sophomore Year. Our directors now were Mr. Brown and Mrs. Mitchell, and they did much to smooth over the rough spots in our scripts. This year, we found that there was much more to a radio station than the work we were doing, so many of us took active parts in dramas going on in other studios of Station CARY. Ten more of our actors felt that they could not portray their parts as they should, and they left the station, but seven new performers had joined us at the first of the rehearsal and were ready and eager to take parts. Tragedy struck the cast as the rehearsal neared its end, for three of our number- -Dorothy Neville, Joseph Franks, and Eddie Gibson - -were taken suddenly by the Great Director of All to become members of His Heavenly Cast. The third act, Junior Year, seemed to be one that would be too long and hard for us to handle without student help, so we elected five of the cast to lead us. They were; Richard Craddock, President; Susan Dunham, Vice President; Peggy Lou Jones, Secretary; Sheldon Dunham, Treasurer; and Joe Sturdivant, Sergeant at Arms. Miss Lamm and Mrs. Lorenz, who had taken over as program directors, led us very skill- fully through this act, and under their direction, we gained much valuable experience that will help us in future broadcasts. As rehearsal progressed- -some of us stopped to act in another play, AUNT SUSIE SHOOTS THE WORKS. This was a comedy, and it gave us a welcome change from the drama which was in its third act and nearing its end. The climax of the third act came when we entertained some more experienced actors, the Seniors, with the Junior - Senior Prom. The entire cast worked hard in making this something that would be remembered long after the sound waves of HIGH SCHOOL DAYS had left the air. For the third time, we lost a few members of our cast, but four others from near - by stations came to help us finish our program. Senior Year- -the final act and our dress rehearsal- -found us with Mrs. Marley and Mrs. Parker as our new directors. Helping them were; Joe Sturdivant, President; Sheldon Dunham; Vice President; Margaret Allen, Secretary; Bland Franklin. Treasurer; and Floyd Stevens, Sergeant at Arms. Measurement for our costumes- -caps and gowns- -along with election of mascots, Betty Carol Strother and Jack Holleman, helped fill the busy hours of our last rehearsal. During a rest period near the last of the act, we were entertained by the actors who had begun a program similar to ours a year after we first entered Station CARY. They presented a play entitled JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET. Much talent had been de- veloped during the four acts of our broadcast, and some of us took time out to write both script and music for a major production. Not satisfied with one live broadcast to our credit, we also wrote and produced a script, THE YRAC, which would keep the memories of our days at Station CARY in permanent form. Now we are near broadcast time- -the hour for which we have been rehearsing these many days. Soon the program will be over- -the acknowledgments to our directors will have been given, the last word will have been spoken, and the last note of music will have faded into the past. We know that we have given a creditable performance in this our first broadcast rehearsal. As the director lifts his hand to give us the signal to begin, we vision the many broadcasts to follow. We feel sure that we, the Cast of 1952, will be playing our parts well in the studios of Radio Station, LIFE. And now-----we're ON THE AIR!!!! - -Susan Dunham Historian Class Prophecy Now that I have a few moments to rest from my work , I think I shall thumb through the station log of Radio Sta- tion CARY. Why, what's this? Oh, yes! It'sthedrama, THE YRAC, which was presented in 1952. Possibly it is the so called magic of radio or perhaps it is something else, but as I sit here gazing upon the names of the cast members, they seem to come alive and speak! The date at the head of the page is changing from 1952 to 1975, and the people no longer look like the young boys and girls I once knew at Cary High. Listen as they speak. Nancy Abbott, world renowned science teacher at the University of Southern California, tells me of the diffi- culty of teaching young people these days. They just can't understand about MOLECULES! she says. A. G. Bullard has also astounded the world of science with his work as a chemical engineer. His two secretaries and former classmates. Betty Sue Adcock and Clara Albright have a busy time keeping up with his hastily scribbled notes. Admiral Billy Riggsbee, USN, now among the big brass in Washington, pauses a moment to talk ot the old days at Cary High. He tells me of an armed forces con- ference which is to be held soon and which will bring to- gether some old Cary classmates. Representing the Navy will be Horace Airington and John Brickell and speaking for the Air Force will be Robert Gardner and Donald Taylor. Cary has been well represented in military affairs. The law firm of Reynolds and Smith has as its presi- dent the brilliant lawyer, William Bryant Reynolds. His staff of capable and efficient secretaries is headed by Helen Morgan. 'Tis rumored that Reynolds never lost a case. Service to our nation is not limited to the men and this is shown by the appearance of Eleanor Atkins and Joyce Kent. These two girls are wearing uniforms of navy blue and are members of the WAVES. Bobbie Lou Cole, after many years as a nurse, is now head of a famous nursing school. Among the staff mem- bers of her institution are Bobbie Jean Denning and Edythe Smith, both former nurses. Quincy Cooke is now chief photographer for LIFE mag- azine. Nancy Turner is the capable editor for this pub- lication and Edna Earle Cooper, talented contemporary writer, has had many stories published in its pages. Miriam Prince is Head of the Artist Staff of the Magazine. Henriette DeWitt, after finishing her practice teaching at alma mater Cary High, is now teaching history at the University of North Carolina. Professor Richard Craddock , also at the Hill , is head of the language department there. He is extremely well qualified for this position , having studied in the United States, South America, and Europe. • Betty Jean Creighton, happily married to a paratroop- er, and Jackie Lineberry. another housewife, stop for a moment to talk about their children. It seems that his- tory teacher Raymond McGhee has been giving low grades lately, and they can't seem to find the trouble. Mr . Brown was never like that! Jackie says as they walk away. Betty Jean Parrish, famous nurse who has branched out into physical therapy can be seen massaging the pitching arm of big - leaguer. Bland Franklin. Bland started his baseball career at Cary High, and from there he went to N. C. State where he broke all existing records. Now he's in the major league and doing fine! George Dickerson, now an electrical engineer, was shocked recently when he touched a live wire. While he was in the hospital, he was attended by attractive nurses Ann White and Ann Dickerson. With nurses like they are, it's wonderful to be sick! says George. Betsy Early, who is now married, and Barbara Stephens have met to talk over the art of baton twirling. After leaving Cary High, both girls attended Wake Forest Col- lege and performed as majorettes with the band. Barbara is still there, instructing the younger girls as they come along. Sheldon Dunham is now president of the Radio Corpo- ration of America, and he stops to tell me of some of the fine recordings which have just been released by his com- pany. Margaret Anne English, concert pianist, has just made a new record of Inca music, and it is now heading the sales list of classical discs. Rhue Franklin, world re- nowned band director, has recently released an album of marches. Marjorie Morgan, musician and composer, has also reached the top in the music world. The class of 1952 was extremely talented, says Sheldon as he leaves. Bob Powell is now in New York City where he is pro- ducing a new musical called Girls! Girls! Girls! Nona Mae Wynn is the featured dancer in this production, and it is rumored that she will go far in the theatrical world. Her press agent. Nancy Jones, leaves her husband and three children in California for the winter months in order that she might speed Nona Mae's rise to fame. Dwight Ferrell, special FBI agent, can only stop for a moment because he is hot on the trail of marshawama peddlers. His special secretary. Joy Hatley, is busy at the office in Washington. D. C. SkippyFox, now a commercial artist, is busy illustra- ting stories for the leading magazines of America. His talent, which was very evident while he was at Cary High , is now winning him fame and fortune. BobbyGodbold, a successful businessman in Cary, stops to tell me of the progress he has made in the past few years. Betty Jean Holland, his secretary, is at the office catching up some back work. Norma Harkrader has recently given up a successful business administration career for the life of a housewife. Joining her in this role are Dot Herndon and Peggy Lou Jones, former secretaries, and Dot Pierce, All - American basketball player, who last year set a new world's scoring record for women. ALL ACTORS, WE The play is done, the curtain's drawn On high school's final scene- - The actors all have played their parts To achieve this long sought dream- - The play’s been long- -rehearsal hard, Opening night has long since gone- - At times we thought our director strict. Our drama unworthy- -our lines too long. But at last we've found that to do things well- - The work must be first- -second the fun, And we see by these years of work gone by - - We've reached our great goal so humbly begun- - We're proud of the praise of our critics and friends. And now we'll go where e’re Fate sends- - The curtain is drawn, our drama complete- - We’ll leave our goal for others to meet. Robert Wicker, local Cary farmer, stops to report the PTA meeting held at Cary High School last night. Bill Grainger has now taken over as industrial arts teacher and band director at the school, and he made a short speech asking for aid for the band. The main address was then given by Dr. Joe Sturdivant, brain surgeon from Johns Hopkins. His subject was Education and the Human Brain. Coach Gene Joyner, head coach at Cary, then closed the program with a plea for new football uniforms. Jean Price, telephone operator, and Faye Lynn, ac- countant are meeting for a luncheon date today, Faye's secretary, Joan Johnson, has the day off and is she glad ! Floyd Stevens, famous airplane designer, has come back to Cary to see some of his old friends. While here he visits Gary Kent, owner and operator of the Cary Motor Company. Margaret Allen, successful secretary, now holds a cov- eted position at Peace College. All the Students come to her for advice and council. The smell of roses now fills the room, and I look up and see a boy bringing in a bouquet from the Strother Floral Company, headed by Bobby Lee Strother. The sweet fra- grance of the flowers brings me back to reality, and I realize that I must nave been dreaming. Slowly I close the covers of the Cary log and return to my writing. This script must be completed in a few hours, and a radio writer has no time to waste. Susan Dunham Prophetess Nancy Turner Class Poetess Cast Will And We. the Senior Class of 1952 of Cary High School, being of sound mind and body, and realizing that we are nearing the end of our rehearsals for the game of LIFE, do hereby proclaim and publish this script as our Last Will and Testament.

We step into a world unknown To meet the cares of life. With rapid speed the years have flown But filled with joy and strite, May all the pow'rs of God come down To us as we depart. From all our loved ones and our friends But still be joined in heart. We shall return some future day To relive all our dreams; We'll think of you in many ways, Of one with walls that gleam. But 'til the day when time shall end, Stand true to all that come From many lands of far and near To make you their school home. - -Marjorie Morgan Mascots JACK HOLLOMAN BETTY CAROL STROTHER CLASS COLORS Red and White CLASS FLOWER White Carnation CLASS MOTTO Climb tho the hill be rugged. mm UNOERCLA SSMEN ‘Junior Class TEDDY JONES------ BILLY ROGERS----- YVONNE WILSON- - LINVILLE MIDGETTE JANE LEE.........

The Student Council of Cary High School began its activities for the school year of 1951 - 1952 on the opening day of school last September. Name cards for the teachers were put on each of the classroom doors, and an information desk was stationed in the lobby to aid Freshmen and newcomers. Since then our organization has taken the responsibility of the Student Supply Store, all sports activities, all chapel programs, and dancing in the gymasium at lunch. Our goal is to bring about a close relation between principal and student body, better co-opera- tion between faculty and students, better organized activities within our school, and to be ONE OF THE BEST STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS EVER!!!

We have had football teams that would not be satisfied with one or two touchdowns per game. Our basketball teams have been equal to any in Wake County, showing good sportsmanship all the way. Our new baseball field has increased the interest in baseball here at Cary as well as the surrounding territories. After witnessing these improvements, especially during the past year, we feel that inthe future Cary will once again be a terror to all of her foes.
