We admired the ruggedness of their characters, laughed at their funny stories, and forgave their misdeeds. We worked and played with them, shared their loyalty and devotion, and together worshiped the same God. When the call came for them to defend the liberties we hold so dear, they left our homes and churches, our classrooms and playgrounds. They left our oflices and stores and factories. And then, after long months of arduous training, they faced the enemy for us. ln strange and far distant places, whether on land or sea, or guiding their eager craft thru footless halls of air, they did not fail us. It has been theirs to serve so that we, and all peoples everywhere, might in the years to come live in a world unvexed by war and governed by the Prince of Peace. Many former members of our student body have, in the years since Pearl Harbor, given their all in the service of their country. Once Dawn was theirs, And sunset, and the colors of the earth . . , All this is ended. It is to the memory of these men, therefore, who in accordance with their high ideals of loyalty and service have made the supreme sacrifice, that we humbly and lovingly dedicate this book. -is Q. , , ,if it Mime lf? 55 J V if If fe af if J fffw' 154.534 ., fs?

Roosevelt. Kvnssvcli ,flflemrfrirzl Serzfiw HE opening of school on Friday, April 13, 1945, was marked by an unusual spirit of quiet- ness. As the students entered the building that morning, their serious faces and muted voices gave evidence of the sorrow felt by everyone at the sudden and untimely death of our great and beloved President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which had oeeurred the afternoon before at the ULittle Wlhite House in VVarm Springs, Georgia. ln an impressive eeremony held on the front campus, the students and faculty of Senior High paid tribute to the life and memory of the man who, as President, had so courageously led his na- tio11 both in peace and in War toward the fulfilment of his dream for America - that we should continue to be Hstrong brothers in Gods family of mankind. PAGE 6 As the years pass svviftly by, the pictures on these pages will help us recall the April morning when we stood in hushed silence vvith a feeling of intense loyalty in our hearts, vvatehing the Stars and Stripes first raised to the top of the flag pole and then sloyvly lovvered to half mast. As the sound of taps died away, we bowed in silent prayer both for our lost leader and for his sueeessor. lfollowing this ceremony, a memorial service-one of the most beautiful and impressive ever conducted in this school-was held in the auditorium. The nmsieal selections consisted of 'l'he Lord's Prayer, sung by Bronson Matney, and the two hymns, 'ABeautiful Savior and HA Ivlighty lfortrcss ls Our Cod, by the a cappella choir. Dr. P. L. Conrad, pastor of limmanuel Lutheran Church, after reading several comforting passages from tl1e Bible, spoke on the text, Give honor to Whom honor is due. Referring to the statement made by thc President some months ago that no generation, no nation has ever undergone so great a test as our own, the speaker con- tinued, No other president, no other statesman, no other American has had upon him so many burdens and tasks, and faced so many tests in a lifetime, as did Franklin D. Roosevelt . . . lle made his mistakes, but hc also made master strokes and he made history. 'l'he last written words of President Roosevelt, which were to have been delivered in honor of Thomas leffersou on lcfferson Day, are worthy both of the man they vvere intended to honor and of the man yvho vvas to give them utterance. The writer is dead, but his yvords live on: lf civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the seienee of luiman relationships-thc ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together and xvork together in the same xvorld at peaee. XYe go foryvard toward the greatest contribution that any generation of human beings can make in this vvorld-the contribution of lasting peace. l ask you to keep up your faith. 'l'he only limit to our realization of tomorroyv yvill be our doubts of today. l.et us move forward vvith strong and active faith. 1 ln the ripper left of the panel is pictured a small section of students paying homage to President Roose- velt: at loxver left, the attaching of the flag to the halyardg and to the extreme right, in a hushed and halloyved manner, students tiling from the campus into the auditorium for prayer. is .X -si m we Q' W 8.2 qt 5, -Z I , , it li-'17 ls xx Q K-x...-gf?

FEW HUNDRED years ago, tribes of American Indians lived and died here where our high school now stands. At certain seasons of the year, however, necessity and their own warlike spirit drove them afar in search of wild game and adventure. On these excursions they carried with them choice morsels of the lean dried meat of the bison, carefully treated to form a special and highly prized food called pemican. The etching on this page portrays the Indian squaw engaged in making pemican, while the lazy chief, smoking his pipe, looks on indiiferently. In recent years this word pemican has been given a new meaning, that of informa- tion or thought condensed within a small compass, in other words, a digest or sum- mary of events. Thus, from the two different interpretations of the word we have derived the meaning and the purpose of our book. Its name, THE PEMICAN, is suggestive of the Bison, symbol of the High School, and the book itself is intended to summarize a year of life at Senior High, compressing within a small compass choice bits of an eventful nine months.

MLM, 1 1 S-I 7 J. 11.1, 9 MR. CARROLL SCIIOLARLY, sociable person, easilv accessible to all people, Mr. Charles F. Carroll, our superintendent, is most widelv recognized for his talent as a public speaker. His careful planning and promotion of numerous educational and civic activities has extended his iniluenee to many walks of life. Under his administration not onlv has the high school plant been enlarged but the curriculmn has been expanded to include additional vocational and commercial subjects. The music department, discontinued during the depression, was reestablished in 1937-38 on a broader basis, academic offerings were strengthened, and the school was readmitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondarv Schools. Mr. Carroll likes his home life, and nothing suits him better after a hard dav at the office than a good book and his favorite pipe. Mr. Carroll is also a victory garden cntlmsiast and has even tried raising chickens. He enjoys remi- niscing of college days when he was varsity man in certain sports, and he frequently recalls inci- dents that occurred while he was a pitcher in league baseball. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll have one son, Charles, Ir., who is now on active dutv with the Navv in the South Pacitic. PAGE MR. WHITLEY UR principal, Mr. Dan P. Wfhitley, has the interests of thc high school students close to his heart, and he gives generously of his time to any who wish to confer with him. His remark- able memory, clear thinking, and ability to see through a situation are assets to a man in his position. Our smoothly running organization is a tribute to his ability and rightly places him in an enviable position among North Carolina high school principals. His interest in audio- visual aids to instruction has resulted in the installation and use of much equipment of this type. His exact knowledge of all branches of the armed services, which has enabled him to advise young men concerning their military opportunities, is understandable in view of the fact that his two sons are officers in the United States Navy and veterans of campaigns in the Pacific. He is an active Scout Leader, a lover of sports, and a talented amateur photographer. For recreation he turns to the enjoyment of his home and little daughter, Irene.

There has been study-of necessity-but this has been well peppered with good times. XVhat a life! VVe arrive at school in cars or model T's, on bicycles or in buses. The more more athletic, full of energy - Hhoof it. i f ' As the crowd gathers, the buzz of the conversationalists strengthens until the sound of the gong sends all scurrying to lockers and home rooms. Presently a voice, friendly and familiar, comes over thc address system: Hllcre are your morning an- nouncements. After that, the work of the home room begins with dcvotionals con- ducted by one of the students. During the following ten or Hfteen minutes, special announcements are made by various committee chairmen, possibly fees are collected and receipted for, sometimes PACE 14 tickets are sold or collections taken up, the library representative daily calls for books to be returned, and once in every six weeks, reports are given out. When the gong rings at nine o'clock, classes change. There is a considerable hub- bub between classes. At twelve and at one, lunch periods begin, and each time a hun- gry line lengthens down the corridor. Afternoon classes are followed by various activ- ities or eighth.periods-voluntary or otherwise-which detain a considerable number of pupils until 'later in the afternoon. Sometimes at night the lights flash on and various groups gather to practice-choir, band, or play casts. Now for the sidelines. There are plays like this year's 'Spring Green and Smilin' Through which we shall long remember-and assembly programs, both entertaining and educational. There have been concerts at night and dances and parties. History has been in the making, and we have listened to radio reports of momentous events. Now, all this is over. That glorious school year of 1944-45 lingers only in memory. Hundreds will not return next year, but they will join other graduates in paying tribute to our dear Alma Mater-HPHS. -u ..

To arrive at an answer to this question the committee used the livaluative Criteria worked out in the Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards . . . The evaluation of the educational program included curriculum and courses of study, pupil activity pro- gram, library service, guidance service, instruction and outcomes ofthe educational program. Due consideration was given to the school stall, school plant, and school administration , . . HAS a result of the three days spent in the school on this evaluation, suggestions were made vvith refer ence to improvements which migh be made to the advantage of the boys and girls in the school. The lflvala native Criteria shoyv that the lligh Point High School is a good school and that it can be made better by car- rying out some of the suggestions which grexv out of a study of the situation by the Superintendent, Principal, teachers and students, and by the visiting committee. Hlt was a very pleasant experience for the visiting committee and it is hoped that it was stimulating and valuable to the school. PACE zz ,M-' ljilullx gctx few fipx f'I'Ulll Nlr.

IIE total enrolhnent at Senior Iligh during the past nine inonths has been sonic- thing over one thousand pupils. At present there is a freslnnan class ot one hundred and sixty-seven, an unusually large sophomore group of about three hundred and titty, a sinall iunior class nuinhering one hundred and titty, and a senior class of two hundred and torty-nine. 'l'he class ot '48 has hrought in new inaterial in the torin ot eager, liard-yvorking students. Second-year students participate uneoinplainingly in high school activities, yet, owing to the tact that they are underelassnien, they receive little credit tor what they do. Tradition has placed the juniors in heaven, since freshman uncertainties PAGE 36 and sophomore follies have passed away. Third year life brings membership in schol- astic organizations to some, and to all opportunity for unselhsh labor and achievement in studies. The annual Prom provides pleasure for both juniors and seniors. As the fourth year is the most difficult, the most wonderful, and the most envied, aren't our seniors justified in exclaiming confidently to the lower classmen, VVell, when you've been here four years . . . The culmination of a high school career, a certain amount of in- dependence, and a formulating of plans for the future take place during our last year. As there is no class above us to be regarded with awe, we try hard to grow accustomed to being regarded in this manner. From the Hrst year to the last, our high school life is characterized by enjoyment and hard work, and by intellectual as well as physical growth. In the past few years the achievements of members of these classes presented on the following pages have been recognized by civic organizations and by branches of the armed forces. .

IGARS spent pursuing the fundamentals of a progressive education, the thrill of sports, and the joys of social life, have left last- ing impressions upon the pages of memory as Well as upon the pages of this the first PICNIICAN. Cooperation is the word that tells xvhy thc class of '45 has so successfully achieved the goal that fate seemingly set for it. Sponsoring the first junior play, and publishing the Hrst annual are typical evidences of the inner yearn- ings of a class that would not yield in face of hard work, lack of time, or financial barriers until the task was accomplished. The class ovves part of its progress to the efficient and capable leadership of all its presi- dents, from the freshman class through the senior. As freshlnen, they were led by L. liullg as sophomores, by Bob Allredg as juniors, by VViley Clary: and as seniors, by Bronson Xlatney. 'l'he class acknowledges xvith grati- tude thc splendid yvork done by the senior adviser, Mr. Ralph Vance, which has greatly aided in making the class of '45 None of the unforgettable classes in the history of High Point High. 2 Talented mascots, Bunlyy Cihson and Brenda Coffey, shake hands like true friends, and then smile sweetly for our camera man.

Virginia Delappe and Raymond Hern- don have served as representatives to the Upper llouseg and Miss Louise Hunter, as adviser, has directed the activities of the class.

Even with some of their best men in the armed service, football, basketball, track, and baseball teams have done rea- sonably well in bringing home victories for their Alma Mater. NV ith the opening of school in the fall began the favorite sport of our institution- football. llunclrecls of spectators turnecl out in pleasant, rainy, or freezing weather for both home and out-of-town games to witness the unclauntecl courage and splendid fighting spirit of our Blaelc Bison varsity. Following the football season came basketball. leligh Point seorecl high in the ma- jority of these games, whether played locally or out of town. ln the spring, after the bas- PAGE 80 ketball season was over, the baseball and track seasons began and ended, as did the school year, in a worthwhile and memorable manner. The recollection of some of the games played this past season will probably linger for many years in the minds of the high school sports fans. Memory will bring back to them scenes from the past-our triumphant football team, the band parading down the Held, led by the high-stepping drum major and the majorettes. Cheer leaders and spec- tators again Hll the air with rahs , the basketball squad wins point after point, base- ball players sweat it out, and lithe tracksters travel down the home stretch at break- neck speed. These are only some of the things which we associate with our adequate athletic department, the program of which is broad enough to meet the needs of the students of Senior High.

A reminder of how our coach looked when he became occasionally instructional. SIIVlEON'S BIOGRAPHY Nr. A. Simeon, better known by his asso- ciates as A'l'ony and by his students as Coach, has made a remarkable record since he joined the faculty here in 1937 as athletic director. Mr. Simeon came to High Point High School from Kernersvillc in September of 1937, succeeding VVade Marlette. At Kerners- ville, Coach taught social science and physi- cal education. His first experience at coaching. however, came with his position in this school. XVhile he was a student at High Point Col- lege, Mr. Simeon participated in every avail- able sport. After graduation, for a time he was connected with the University of North Carolina. Mr. Simeon excelled in the sport which he loved best while he was in college. He was an outstanding wrestler, and he was distinguished as an amateur after his school days in his home state of Pennsylvania, during 1928-29. In coaching basketball here, Coach Simeon has shown real talent and knowledge of the game. During the eight years that he has PAGE 83 served as head coach of this sport, he has turned out such oustanding players as Dick Hartley, Douglas Reid, and Iohn Crowder. His record would be ditheult to match, for during these same eight years, he has produced four XVestern Conference champion squads and one state winner. His teams have won 151 games and have lost only the amazingly small total of 37. In addition to teaching the game of basket- ball, Mr. Simeon has coached baseball and wrestling and has assisted in football. Besides teaching six classes of physical education each day, Mr. Simeon is athletic director of the High Point YMCA. Mr. Slll1CO1l'S talents are by no means re- stricted to coaching. His shrewd Hnaneial viewpoint has proved an asset in managing the local athletic fund. ln spite of his crowded schedule, he is active in the work of the First Methodist Church and a member of the local Civitan Club. After coming to High loint, Coach Simeon married Miss Bessie Lee lledrick. 'l'hey have two children, Iamcs Ross and Carol Lee.

FOOTBALL SEASON SUMMARY XV ith a new coach and seven regulars from last vear's eleven, the High Point lligh School Black Bison football tcam's prospects appeared much brighter in comparison with last vear's results, when thcv lost seven while winning onlv three. Coach llonicr lXlcCov, succeeding 'l'onv Ceruugel, who returned to his home state of Pcunsvlvania, started oif the season with a bang, but something happened in the most crucial part of the season and the team lost the second half of their schedule without much show. The Bison rolled up a 26-o win over the Thomasville lligh School eleven to open the season and followed that iiupressive victory with a surprise win over a strong Durham lligh squad bv a zofj score. ln their first confer- ence contest of the schedule, thev roiupcd all over a weak Burlington lligh eleven bv a 'goao score, their biggest offensive show of the year. lu a rough drawnhout affair, the local squad ran roughshod over Lexington lligh for their fourth win. Bovdcn lligh of Salisbury marked the Bisons' fifth and last win of the season. 'l'hcv succeeded in running up three touelif downs for an 18-7 margin over the Yellow lackets. XYhcn a much improved Charlotte lligh School team came to this eitv for a game, the iniurv list of the local squad was piling up into dangerous numbers and the Central If s Coaches XlcCov and Simeon. gridders walked off with a :ofo triumph, the worst licking received bv lligh Point. Cas- tonia, one of the best in manv vcars, came through to take a hard-earned ig-6 win and Creensboro, lligh l'oiut's toughest rival. ehalked up another shutout bv a iafo score over the Pointers. R.

YVhile on the subject of baseball, it would only be appropriate for us to mention the munber of diamond stars that have left this high school and entered the field of profesf sional baseball and made good. Melvin VValker, the latest lligh Point High Baseball managers, llarris and Arm' strong, smile to prove that tilt is going successfully. Sehool contribution to professional baseball left this institution only a year ago, but the progress that he has made throxvs a great deal of light on the baseball knowledge that he has gained under the High Point coaching. Melvin is now playing short stop for a large city repre- sentative team in the Ohio State and with his ability, he has promise of advancing to a higher bracket and maybe the major leagues, the goal of every baseball player, in short time. The very mention of Broadus Culler brings to the minds of individuals baseball in its best form. Broadus has reached the top rung in the baseball climb, now playing short stop for the Boston Braves in the National League, one of the two highest leagues of the game. Broadus is a baseball oflieial of this state and makes his home in this city during the winter. Ile is a member of the class of 1Q31.

Ioncs, Albert Thomas, and Tommy McGhee. Bison and the impressive victory revealed the power the locals had when they could cut loose. In their second game, they were handcuffed by a much older and experienced team of Oak Ridge Military Institute by a 9-1 score. A Iamestown nine came here for their third game and much diiferentfrom last year, when the small rural school beat the Pointers, they absorbed an 18-2 setback at the hands of the locals. Three more wins, a 13-1 decision over Trin- ity, a 12-7 win over Asheboro, and a 11-6 vie- tory over Thomasville gave High Point an edge in the won-lost standings when the same Oak Ridge team squeezed the locals out by an 8-7 in their return meet. Thomasville, Greensboro, and Burlington, the latter two being confer- ence battles, went down before the Bison in their next trio of games 8-6, 4-3, and 13-3 respectively, before a strong R. Reynolds High of Wiiiston-Saleiii succeeded in handing the locals their third defeat by a 9-3 score. In the next game played on the local field, High Point gave the same team quite a scare before suecun1bing by a 12-11 count. A return meet with Greensboro, one team they had beaten once before, went in a different direction with Greensboro taking a lopsided 18-5 win. High Point wound up their 1944-4g sports program with a zo-3 shellacking of a Burling- ton team in their last game. Members of this ycar's team were Donald Hooper, catcher, Albert Thomas, pitcher and outfielder, Ray Delappc, first baseman, Curt Demonstrating action from left to right: Donald Hooper, Bill Kennedy, Richard Reid, and Ray Delappe.

Each activity, in its own way, aids in the development of the pupil. First of all, there are organizations whose high standards for ineinhcrsliip encourage not only scholastic attainment, but also qualities of leadership and service. Other clubs recognize special aptitudes and talents in individual students. Student Council work furnishes invaluable experience to those fortunate enough to participate in it. Other groups, such as the POINTER and PEMICAN staffs, the PAGE 104 members of the annual play casts and of the Prom committees, in addition to rendering distinctive service to the school, gain much personally through their united efforts in a common cause. The Y organizations, which draw their members from the student body, func- tion through social events and through cooperative effort in wartime drives and cam- paigns. The old adage of all work and no play does not apply in this school, for each year brings the blast of trumpets and the swish of evening gowns -the Proms which provide the social highlights of school life. All these dilterent activities, both academic and recreational, add interest to school life and play an important part in the development of the well-rounded boy and girl.

After working frantically during the last months of 1944 to obtain permission from our principal, superintendent, school board, and faculty to have an annual, we now present the first edition of THE PIEHWICAN. lust before the holidays the following staff was chosen: Editor-in-chief, Iacksie Miller, associate editor, Estelle Scott, engraving editor, Bill Rapcr, art editor, Virginia Forward, fea- ture editor, Frank Thacker, printing editor, lane Rhodes, copy editor, Mildred Iesterg photography editor, Natt Harrison, sports edi- tor, Bill Vtfilliamsg and business manager, Percy Payne. The actual work did not begin until Ianu- ary, when the definitely green staff had be- come a trifle more educated to this type of work. The task has been accomplished, how- ever, only by the countless sacrifices and cnerf getic cooperation of the staff, with the neccs, sary assistance of the adviser and the photogf raphcr, and by the valuable instructions of both engraver and printer.

LOWER HOUSE XYithin the Lower llouse are several standing CODI- mittees, among which are the following 'l'raflie, Fire Drill, Bulletin Board, XVeleome, Lost and Found, and XYar Bond. NYhen the North Carolina State Student Council Congress was in session here in the fall, Lower llouse members served as guides and attended meetings. They also assisted in housing and entertaining delegates. During the year 1944-4g, Lower House members took an increasingly active interest in the affairs of the school. Perhaps the most successful project under- taken was an amateur show, 'l'his program was first given before the student body and again presented before the public under the sponsorship of the P. 'l'. A. Later, it was carried to a neighboring town under the auspices of a Sunday Sehool class. Other outstanding projects undertaken by the Lower llouse were the sale of high school pennants, the spong soring of a Var Bond Rally. resulting in the sale of over Sioo,ooo in Bonds and Stamps, and the sale of NVar Bonds and Stamps throughout the year.

A., the Hi-Y Club is composed of high school boys who, having met the requirements for membership, are elected into the club. Meetings are held every Monday night at the Y. M. C. A. At these meetings. the chaplain reads a passage of Scripture, which is followed by a prayer. 'l'he purpose of the meetings is to discuss business and to participate in activities and social events. Outstanding citizens are frequently invited as guest speakers. Foremost among the activities of the club is participation in various forms of athletics, such as football, bas- ketball, volleyball, and softball. 'l'he various teams compete with other local teams of the SZIHIC age group in impromptu games and in scheduled contests. Swimming in thc HY pool is a regular follow-up of the weekly meetings. Since its founding, the purpose of the International lli-Y club has been Uto create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. In order to become a member of the club, a boyys scholarship record must not be below average, he must practice clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholar- ship, aiid clean living, and he must be duly elected to membership by vote of the club. Ile is then inducted into the club according to the ritual prepared by the National Hi-Y Council. Two inductions are held each year, one, in the fall, the other, in the spring. Social events, planned and carried out by the boys, are enjoyed each year. Among the events of the present year have been a social and dance in cooperation with the Cirl Reserve Club, and a wiener roast and blanket party at the City Lake. A state lli-Y conference is held annually, at which representatives meet in order to discuss activities of the year and to hear special speakers, prominent in connnunity, social, and religious affairs. Representatives are entertained in the homes of Ili-Y boys in the host city.

We departed promptly after he came by, all my eurls were in just the right place, at least I hoped they were. Going past the registration desk, we entered the gymnasium by way of a formal receiving line. I ean't forget the smiles and welcomes. the firm handshakes of Nlr, XYhitley and Blr. Carroll. By now several solo girls were eyeing my date rather enviously, so I steered him to a beautiful love seat that oeeupied a shaded corner, tlt seemed that all the best garden furniture in town had been borrowed for this danee.l Never before have I seen a gynmasium so beautifully decorated, It was an old-faslr ioned rose garden with roses and trellises everywhere. Dreamily we danced the hours away. 'I'laere were plenty of breaks, and I talked with some boys whom I had never thought of before. .X couple of them seemed rather nice. too. I ean't even tell a pillow all the wonderful things that happened to me. I really hope that some of the special wishes we made, as we tossed our eoius into that quaint old wishing well, will some clay come true. tXYonder what he wished forg he never did tell l1lL'.l Nly eyes still see spots when I recall how bright the flashes were when Nlr. Nlorris caught us in a picture and. wlneh re minds me, I wonder if the cleaner will get all the spots out of my evening gown? If not. they will be little secret rennnders of the fleeting moments that I'll never forget. Ifven now in the wee hours. the whole thing is like a dream. 'I'hc beautiful punch bowls, the rhytlnn of the orchestra, saying goodbyes, the hot dogs and eoke, the long way home , prolonged goodnights, and now. my pillow. it's just you and I. Gosh! Seems like I'll never go to sleep again. XYhat a night!
