Cary High School - YRAC Yearbook (Cary, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1953 volume:

4016 Cary a Drive Raleigh, NC 27610 74c Ij Now that our high school careers will soon be drawn to a close, we, the Senior Class of 1953, present to you this edition of the YRAC, so that the wonderful memories of our last year at Cary will be recorded for all to see. The theme of our annual is originality; the purpose, to create a complete pic- ture of one year at Cary High. With this in mind, the staff began its plans for the best of annuals. We hope, that as the years pass, and the sands of time dull the memory, the 1953 YRAC will become a tangible memento of our high school years. We will have accomplished our goal, if, when you turn the pages of this annual, each picture brings back vividv memories of life at our school. With mingled feelings of joy and sad- ness, we leave Cary, praying that the glow of reminiscense will arouse in your hearts the love that we, as de- parting Seniors, feel for our Alma Mater. BETTE NOCK Editor-in-Chief 'DecUc titoi We, the Senior Class of 1953, dedicate the sixth volume of the YRAC to Mrs. Edna Lorenz, whose vivacious personality and unfailing devotion has inspired each one of us. Mrs. Lorenz, in moments of serious thought . . . Perhaps many of you in looking back over your high school career, would like to change parts of it. You believe you could and would do a better job if you had it to go over. This is not within the realm of possibility. However, you can resolve to so live and achieve each year ahead that you will have no cause to regret but every reason to be proud of your efforts and achievement when you take a backward glance. The administration of Cary High School will be continuously interested in observing your progress to this goal. PAUL W. COOPER MRS. EDNA C. LORENZ MR. SIMON TERRILL MRS. LUCILLE JORDAN MRS. CLARE J.

Thirty-two of these hailed from Mount Vernon Goodwin School- others were already stationed at Cary. As we marched into our boot-training, we were pleased to learn we had finally achieved the point in our lives where we could be more independent. This train- ing was so different, it was difficult for us to become adjusted. We were ranked as privates our freshman year. As usual, we had to leave behind some of the members of our squadron. In our Sophomore camp, we, as corporals, were given the task of acquainting the newcomers with our camp life. The new draftees with us helped take the place of those we had lost. Being more familiar with this life, we looked forward to higher promotions. Unfortunately, our squadron grew even smaller than it had the year before. As Juniors, receiving the rank of sergeant, we felt that we had a larger responsi- bility than ever. Realizing the value of our training in the past two years, we worked even harder to make this year more worthwhile. There were big events awaiting us; namely, planning the Junior-Senior banquet and dance; also giving a play, which gave us experience for the Senior play. This was really the last year of training, because the following year was to be more or less one of review. Realizing the necessity of this, we managed to keep most of our troop. Then, our Senior year in this wonderful camp approached. By working so hard the year before, we were promoted to lieutenants. The captains of our new crew this year were Mrs. Clare J. Marley and Mrs. Hugh G. Parker. With the aid of the class officers and the superb co-operation of our class, we made our class, our trip, our play and graduation a huge success. Everywhere, there were new opportunities for us. Fifty-five, out of eighty-eight that began as Freshmen, received an honorable discharge. Now, for the betterment of our friends, as well as ourselves, we want to march— Onward—'til we reach our highest goal. ANNIE JO MUSTIAN Class Historian 'PiafiAecy (RING-G-G.) Hello, Carolyn! This is Betty. Your Dad told me you were coming home on a two weeks vacation. I can't wait to see you! By the way, how have you been getting along in the 'modeling world'? Oh, Betty,l really like it. Joyce Leonard and I have some thrilling moments when Billy Maynard calls out his models—all wearing fashions designed by Ann War- rick, of course. I saw Rebecca Grissom last week buying for Ivey-Taylor. Do you realize it has been nearly six years since I was in North Carolina? What are some of the others doing now? Has the school changed very much? Oh, haven't you heard? Rayvon Cooke—a first-rate carpenter—is just finishing a new agricultural building for the boys at school, and Linwood Baker has done so much to promote the Ag Department. Everyone calls him Little Dad; he reminds us so much of Dad Dunham. Frances Marcom is the Home Economics teacher at Cary now, and she really is enjoying the new cottage that was built when we were Seniors. Oh, it seem so long ago! Some of the others are teach- ing also. Robert Craddock is a professor in the Math Department at the University of North Carolina. And by the way, the girls' basketball team won the state championship this year. Rixie Maidon is coaching them. Sherrill Jones' football boys are still holding the good title that the Class of '53 left. They are going to Louisburg next week and Gene McConnell, who is a Carolina Trailways employee, is driving the chartered bus for them. Joyice Smith, Economics teacher, and Robert Cotten, History teacher, took their classes to Washington last month. They had a nice trip, and seemed to enjoy it so much. Barbara Lassiter has taken Mrs. Marley's place in one respect and is teaching five periods of Dramatics a day. Goodness! You could never guess who I saw last week—Sue Ingold. She was passing through New York on her way to visit some European countries. That girl really has a life of ease! I visited Jane Lee backstage last week after hearing her play in Carnegie Hall. We thought she was an accomplished pianist when she was at school, but you should hear her now. She certainly does play well. I heard her on radio station WCHS, engineered by Jerrall Spencer. Did you know that Yvonne Wilson sang in the Metropolitan Opera last week? I saw her picture in the CARY DAILY, edited by Ed Mitchell. I was downtown last week and naturally I over-parked. I got a ticket from one of Raleigh's new police women, Eloise Harrison, but my lawyer, Teddy Jones, got me out of that one. Sherlyn Harrell is still playing with Hanes' Hosiery and she does some office work there too. Tommy Crowder has settled down and he is rear- ing a nice family. His little girl is in the hospital now with a broken leg. Bette Nock is her doctor, and Wyvette Brown and Shirley Casey are nursing her. With such good attention and care she should be well soon. Betsy Hamilton is the Superintendent of Nurses at Rex, and Frances Ray is the receptionist. Cary grad- uates surely are well represented at Rex. Emma Holt Johnson is rearing a nice family. She has a new home in Edwards Village in Raleigh. Bobby Edwards is the contractor of this village, and Annie Jo Mustian, Phyllis McDaniel, Bobby Jean Sorrell, and Barbara Speight are on his office staff. I met Lt. Cmdr. Lester Woodall on his way from Norfolk to Chicago on my trip. He really agrees with that Navy life as well as Capt. Joe Summers does with the Army. Shirley Dupree was traveling with Lester. She joined the Waves and is his private secretary. Roger Williams, M. D., is on the medical staff at Walter Reid Hospital in Washington, D. C. Raoul Maynard is the pastor of the Baptist Church in Cary. The membership has increased since he took the church. Thelma Dillard teaches the girls in the primary department, and she is also the church secretary. Vivian Blake graduated at Meredith last year, and she is a religious educator. Carolyn, Marie Holland has almost completed her wedding pians. She is doing secretarial work at the Revenue Department. Do you remember those bookkeeping classes we had? Mercy! We really studied in that class! By the way, Barbara Hansley and Frederick Page are bookkeepers for the Carolina Power Light Co. Colleen Johnson and Pearl Vaughn are secretaries for Billy Rogers, who has a chain of grocery stores over the United States. Linville Midgette is chief of police here in Cary—following in his daddy's footsteps, and he is doing an excellent job. I saw Helen Trader at the Stork Club a few days ago. She was celebrating an offer from Ronnie Stevens' Movie Studios to dance in Jackie Proescher's new movie The Greatest Dance On Earth. Well, Betty, what are you doing? I have a civil service job—stenographer at the Army base out at the Raleigh- Durham Airport. I've really enjoyed talking to you, Carolyn. Please do come out to see me while you are home. Can you come this weekend? Thank you, yes. I'll try to come out and see you Sunday. 'Bye now.

Student fauncit The Student Council of 1952 and 1953, under the leadership of capable officers and an excellent sponsor, executed many worthy projects which benefited the whole student body. For example, one committee planned chapel programs for the entire school year. The Music Committee furnished music in the Lunch Room and for chapel programs. The Sports Committee was responsible for publicizing the games, and for selling the tickets during the football season. The Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, given by the Student Council, was a big success. During the last three months of school, a Citizen of the Month was chosen from the Student Body and a certificate of honor given to the winner. Since the school lacked an Alma Mater Song, the Student Council sponsored a contest in which entrants wrote a song and the best one was chosen as the Cary High School Song. The Supply Store was managed, as usual, by the Vice President and Treasureer, and proved to be a profitable project. A scrap book was purchased and cuttings concerning students from Cary were filed in it. These are but a few of the many projects sponsored by the Student Council but they will give a view of the work which this organization is doing to improve our school. All members of the Student Body were proud that Jane Lee, President of the Student Council, was elected as President of the County Student Council for the school year 1952-1953. Mrs. Esther Kell Mitchell, three years sponsor of the Student Council again advised and guided the comparatively new organization to a highly successful year. Her high ideals and firm guidance impressed each member, giving them the assurance they needed to carry out their plans to completion. Mattel Drum Major, Hunter; Gorham, Baucom, O'Neal, Smith.

BURT Band Director Harold Burt, organizer and director of the present Cary High School Band, is finishing his third successive year. In this short period of time, under his direction and guidance, our band has grown by leaps and bounds. This past year, the band's music and formations during halftime of the football games have helped improve the school spirit tremendously, for who can help but be proud of a school with such an outstanding band? Our band has taken part in the Big Parades in Wilmington, Raleigh, Durham, and other cities and towns under the direction of Mr. Burt. Patrons of this school have contributed several hundred dollars toward purchasing new uniforms, instruments, and music albums for the band members; and they were pleased to see students from different grades participating in recitals and receiving such good training.

The pride of Cary High School! For the second successive year, Sherrill Jones has made the News and Observer All Eastern Class A Football team. He isn't only talented in football, but in basketball and baseball, as well. However, all the success of our first undefeated football team doesn't go to Sherrill. Tommy Crowder and Billy Rogers received honorable mention. Also we commend Coach Simon Terrill and all the other boys for a fine job both on offense—scoring 369 points—and defense—holding the opposing teams to 25 points.
