Caldwel! Historical Society Heritage IVluseum 112 Vaiden Street SW Lenoir. NC 28545 m DLe 1950 Published by The Bearcat Staff CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL LENOIR, NORTH CAROLINA Although preparing an annual is not an easy task, we have enjoyed our work. It has been difficult to plan and select material that will be of interest to every student in Lenoir High School. If, in the years to come, this annual will be a window through which you may joyously look and recall pleasant memories of your high school days, the members of the Bearcat staff will feel amply rewarded for the many hours spent on collecting, organizing, and editing this material. In gratitude for his efforts in developing a better school spirit; In admiration for his pleasant per- sonality and keen sense of humor; In respect for his untiring work in developing good sportsmanship and a sense of fair play; In sincere appreciation for coaching the 1949-50 Football Squad to win the Western Conference; We affectionately dedicate this, the 1950 Bearcat, to our coach, Mr, Preston A.

Good soldiers we, both staunch and true, We passed each test we met; Bravely we wore our white and blue, Now leave it with regret. It seems so hard to say goodbye To joys and friends we ' ve known, With aching hearts we heave a sigh Knowing we ' ll soon be gone. _ Gone to meet each foe alone. Alone to face the strife Gone to reap the seeds we ' ve sown. To cross the Bridge of Life. And when we ' ve reached the other side When we ' ve attained success We ' ll look back then, and say with pride, Thanks be to L. H. S.

Certainly ]an Huntley, Edith Bo!ighi)ian, Carol Coffey and I never did — until Halloween night in the year I960. We were sitting in Jan ' s atomic-heated apartment when someone rang the doorbell. Edith went to the door. She returned, and with her was a small, dark, pleasant-looking old gypsy, carrying a crystal ball. The gypsy hastily explained that she could tell our past, present and future for a small fee and that, if desired, she could tell the fortunes of others. After she sat down, the four of us debated the merits of fortune telling. We knew our past; we knew our present. Not one of us cared to know the future. Carol said she would like to hear about some of our old classmates. Thus it was decided that we take a look, through the gypsy ' s crystal ball, at the Seniors cf 1950. Here, word for word, I have written what the gypsy told us. I see a vision forming in my crystal. Ah, it is a large theatre — Cinema Tycoon. The manager is Clyde Morrow. He is in his office talking with Buddy Winkler, Louis Kent, and Bill Hoffman. They are trying to agree about running an advertisement trailer on ' Bud, Lou and Bill ' s Helicopter Service, ' now a profitable business. The feature playing is ' Death, My Dar- ling Wife, ' a tragedy, starring Joyce Wood and Doug Holconibe. Due to the complaints of Shirley Davenport, Kathleen Greer, Anne Lutz and Margaret Shell, Jeanette Kincaid Winkler and her husband are having to leave the theatre because their daughter, Joenette, is making a fuss. Shirley, Anne, Kathleen and Margaret are joint owners of a city cafeteria, by the way. Someone is saying, ' I don ' t agree with you. I believe in long engagemen ts. ' It is Dajiny McLean with his fiancee, Mattie Mae Lutz. Danny is arguing with Claudine Coffey (now Mrs. Leon Silver) . What ' s this I see. Printing presses of a large newspaper, ' The Daily Blow, ' owned by Bill and Paul Weeks. The editor, Ervine Eanes, is holding a conference in his office with his star reporter, Wayne Hall, and his two society writers, Mary Alice Royals and Joyce McCall. They are discussing the Broad- way musical hit which features Barbara, Richards, talented young dancer. Also in the play are Mary Jeanette Throneburg, famous ' blues singer ' and Jinnny Rash, a bigtime orchestra leader. The vision fades. Now I see a television show. The sponsors of the show are Billy Bolick and Jimmy Higgins who own Hig- bol ' s Cannery. ' A special feature on the program is a dark-haired ' torch singer, ' Martha Yates. In the audience I see Carolyn Harless, a Latin teacher, and Lillian McLean, also a teacher. They are talking about Mack Matheson who has made the headlines re- cently for breach of promise to a socialite. Barbara Benffeld, Mavis Denton and Jo Ann Looney, secretaries in a large law firm, join them. Now I see white hospital walls. The scene is clearer. I see Dr. Clarence Clarke dictating to his secretary, Odean Robbins. Three nurses, Shirley Correll, Lucille Mc- Neeley and Janice Clark, rush into a private 22 room, fanelle Creu ' s, their patient, is re- cuperating from a broken heart. Visiting her are Scottie S e W- ithers, Dottie Dudley and Alta Greer, rehgious education directors. Ah, now I see a large truck. An A H moving van, owned by Harold A ;gely and Stanley Hz ffi iaa. is moving S e Morrow ' s furniture. Sue is married and is moving to Florida. She is saying good-bye to Anne Cooke, popular actress of stage and screen. Here is a court trial in progress. Do Clemen and Wanda Childers are suing Cur is Moore, owner of a jewelry store, for selling them watches with only one hand. The lawyers for the plaintiffs and defendant are Richard Ball and Howard Je 7kh s. The judge is Mar in McGirt. The crystal now shows a large orchestra — the Metropolitan Orchestra. I see Pa Thornburg, Evelyn Hoyle, Lafaye e W all, Luenette Winecoff, Aranieta Rhodes and Caroline Goforth. These people, after years of hard work, have reached their goal. They are accompanying a sensational pianist, j nie Foster. Bobby Hi n ley, who is vacationing after a season of pro-ball up north, is back stage talking with Dewitt Pritchard, owner of a large popcorn machine company. Laura Presnell, Ravenell Clarke. Eloise Alexander and Inez Watson, typical housewives, are sitting out front waiting to hear their old classmates perform. A street is visible now and I see Boh Haas, a politician, talking with ]anet Cog- gins, Anita Robinson and Mary Louise Ben- field, social workers of Caldwell County. They are discussing a football game in which Coach Morris Branch hurled his mighty eleven against Nick Laney ' s equally strong team. The referee was Ted Munday and the timekeeper, Roy Oxen me. Bill Kirby, prom- inent sports editor, covered the game. The scene quickly changes and I see a photographer ' s studio owned by Stewart Gregg. He is taking pictures of his four famous ' Gregg Models, ' Helen Harless, Caroline Huntley, Joyce Hodges and Jeroline fones. I see Betty Anne Bost in a post office mailing bills to Stanley W ilson, William W right and Charles McLean, Lenoir mer- chants. She is secretary to Barlow Curtis Candy Company owned by Wayne Barlowe and Nickolas Curtis. The vision now is of a young blonde m.an walking through a large department store. It is ' Rabbit ' Sherrill, lightweight boxing champion of the world. He stops to speak with L. C. Harris, manager of the store. Doyle Lingle, Jr. joins them. He is buying some clothes suitable for traveling in South America. Joanne Cooke, a dress designer, is telling Mary Kirby, Doris Moore, Mary Wilson, and Betty Harris what fashionable young stenographers should wear. Betty Robinson, who poses for Lux Soap ads, is shopping with Joyce Jen iings, owner of many fine race horses. The young ladies get together and talk about Jean Houston who married Cornell Wilde after he divorced his wife. The visions have faded. I see no more. The gypsy arose, collected her fee, walked out of the apartment, and out of our lives forever. Written by: Gay Hanks 23 1. Alo.r Likely to Succeed 2. Most Dependable 3. Friendliest 4.

Joanne Cooke 28 I am a part of all that I have met; Yet all experience is an arch wherethro ' Gleams that untravell ' d world, whose margin jades Forever and forever when I move. These words by Tennyson take on a special meaning for us as Seniors. Thinking on them naturally turns our thoughts back to that big day in ' 38 when we attended school for the first time, thus taking the initial step on the long road of education. It seems so far back that we can see it only dimly and can remem- ber only the feeling of wonder we had, and the sense of time flying as our grammar school days whirled by. Junior High School with its new and exciting experiences including the talk of war and our own participation in the war effort was upon us then. We remember the scrap drives and bond sales and the willing- ness with which everyone joined in to do his part. Impressed vividly upon our minds also is the memory of peace declared and the responsibility we felt as citizens, not only of one nation, but of one world. Upon graduation from Junior High, we paused briefly to look back over the eight preceding years and to rejoice in our own attainment. But we didn ' t pause long in reverie, for high school, with all its promises, was ahead, and we were eager to try our- selves in that realm. During the first part of that Freshman year our faces expressed perpetual amaze- ment; so many new studies, so many new people, so many new experiences and activi- ties. Day after day, however, those Freshmen of ' 47 gained in self-assurance and became more alert. It was high school that taught us the true meaning of school spirit. We also learned to appreciate the worth of the individual, for as we watched our classmates and saw some excel in sports, some in the field of music, others in scholarship and good citizenship, we realized that each had a talent above that of the average, and had his place to fill. This respect for the abilities of others taught us the value of co-operation as the means of attaining our goals. At the same time, we learned to think independently and act de- cisively. Our Junior year was a busy one, during which we cast many inquisitive glances at the Seniors and tried to imagine ourselves in their places. Thus, we began to look forward to our own Senior year and even beyond — to our future after 1950. The fact that for so long we had antici- pated being Seniors did not make the reality any more credible. As we got into our Senior year though, it turned out to be the best ever. It was so filled with exciting activi- ties, the Junior-Senior, and all the others, that it . ' eemed to be ending almost as soon as it had begun. So, when graduation night and diplomas became realities and we walked up the auditorium aisles for the last time, we could not keep away a feeling of awe that high school days had ended so quickly. Now that we have proved to ourselves that we are capable of setting our goals and attaining them we look eagerly ahead, to higher aims and goals. We pause but briefly in the glory of accomplishment; then each shall choose his path, set his goal, and go foru ' ard unhesitatingly towards it.
