We have striven through the medium of the camera and the pen to produce a book of memories which will be cherished for years to come. If this book brings back one fond recollection, our work will not have been in vain. J- 1 ' ' ntents: SCHOOL CLASSES ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES They taught us our first lessons in playing together at Central as they enrolled us and welcomed us to high school. Their guidance has continued to smooth our paths and to point toward a way of life that is rich, satisfying and joyous. Their search for truth has helped us to see our value as individuals. We, the Seniors of 1941, dedicate our Snips AND Cuts to our coaches. Mr. H. P. Harding Superintendent of City Schools Charlotte, N. C. Dr. E. H.

CLASS POEM We love this school of matchless beauty; The strength and power which she imparts, And, now, as we prepare to leave, We take her memories in our hearts. The pleasures of Friendships we have made, The beauty of the willows in the morn, The sparkling fountain in the sunlight And ambitions that here were born. The knowledge we have gained here Shall guide us throughout life, And to add to Central ' s glory Shall be our life-long strife. DOTTIE SAPPENFIELD, Class Poet.

The Operations Committee, one of the largest in the school, is composed of 23 mem- bers whose combined efforts behind the fine leadership of Chairman Bill Baynard and Dr. Garinger, the adviser, has kept the school in the financial block. The money made by the noon movies every Tuesday and Thursday is divided between the Visual Aids Commit- tee and the student assembly. The money received by the Visual Aids Committee is spent in the upkeep and purchase of new equipment for the committee, and for the movies shown in guidance and the class- room. The money received by the Student Assembly is put with the money earned by the carnival and the variety show to pay the running expenses of the assembly. The Opera- tions Committee also furnishes the public address system for the afternoon and evening dances, carnival, speeches, and jam sessions. The committee also furnishes music for the guidance programs and the afternoon dances. This shows the importance of the Operations Committee and its members to our school and to our school life.

DANCE COMMITTEE Harold Cooke, Chairman The Dance Committee gave during the year of 1 940-41 eight school dances. The first dance was a big success, The Freshman Hop, followed by The Holiday Hop. Then came the Valentine Invitational which was considered by most of the students as one of the best the school has had. The second semester rolled around with the Dance Committee giving four dances in a row which pleased everyone. Then came the dance all seniors had looked forward to from the time they entered school — The Junior-Senior. This went down in dance history as one of the best ever held at the High School. All the glory goes to the boys on the dance committee. Their never-tiring help and efforts brought about a new light which caused the students to enjoy the dances given them by the Dance Committee.

Page Ninety -nine FOOTBALL Central 13; Barium Springs 13 September 27, 1940 Barium Springs, in the opening game of the season, held our Wildcats, in new uni- forms, to a 13-13 tie. Barium ' s well developed passing attack kept them right in there to set off the swift running attack of Central. With the aid of a beautiful block by Ted McLaughlin, David Coates ripped off the most beautiful run of the night for 91 yards and a touchdown. Charlie Mulwee and Cap- tain Andy Karres played commendable ball in the line for Central. Roach was outstand- ing for Barium Springs. John Marshall. Richmond 7; Central 0 October 5, 1940 The Wildcats could not get started after a long trip to Richmond and they came out on the short end of a 7-0 score. Except for a fumble by Bob Sideman in the first quarter the game would have probably ended in a 0-0 tie. Most of the game developed into a kicking duel between Coates of Central and Klein of Richmond. James Lindsay and Cap- tain Andy Karres played a bang-up game for Central even in defeat. First row: John Muse, Bob Sideman, David Coates, Harold Cooke, Leonard Green, Andy Karres, Keg Wheeler, Charlie Mulwee, Hulette Grice, Billy Morris, Ed Dudley.

Beautiful blocking was a feature of the game. The Wildcats entered the game as underdogs but really came through. Central vs. Raleigh October 18. 1940 Again the Wildcats played superb football and Raleigh High went down before the Cats 7-19. Senter of Raleigh was a constant thorn in the Wildcats ' defense with his deadly pass- ing attack. Captain Andy Karres ' defensive play was a highlight of the game along with Harold Cook ' s blocking and David Coates ' magnificent running and punting. Central 47; Spartanburg 0 October 25, 1940 The Central football machine really rolled this time by overwhelming Spartanburg 47-0. Beautiful blocking was a main feature in the game. The fine running of Chunk Simmons, second string quarterback, was the best per- formance given by any individual football player in the Memorial Stadium this year. Simmons racked up five touchdowns with his devastating running behind the fine blocking of Bob Sideman, Billy Morris, and Harold Cook. The Spartans played hard until the game was over, but they were completely outclassed. Co-Captains Andy Karres and Keg Wheeler, Charlie Mulwee, and reserve Ted Meyer led the line play of the Wild- cats. Coach Bradford used his entire roster in rolling over the Sparts by such a lop- sided score. Page One Hundred Six Central 1 9 ; High Point 6 November 4, 1940 After having been rained out in their first attempt to play High Point, the Wildcats managed a hard-earned victory over the Bisons 19-6. The game was exceedingly rough, and the Wildcats were none too impressive. Billy Morris was outstanding on defense and offense along with David Coates. Bob Side- man showed his usual power in his line bucks. that Columbia had over our Wildcats. The Caps couldn ' t penetrate past the Wildcat 40- yard line. David Coates gave another one of his magnificent football performances by leading the Wildcats and by scoring two touchdowns. One of the touchdowns was a 55-yard punt return in the last few minutes of the game. Co-Captain Andy Karres and end Johnny Muse were mainstays in the strong Central line. Columbia has only been beaten one year in all the years of football that Central has played them. This year makes the second time. Central 19; Columbia 0 November 9, 1940 Again the Wildcats entered a game as the underdogs, but they really showed what kind of football they can play by defeating Colum- bia 19-0. This win broke a four-year jinx Central 12; Asheville 12 November 15, 1940 Probably the freezing weather having some effect on them, the Wildcats only managed a 12-12 tie with an underdog Ashe- MORRIS Payne Merchant O WEN SB Y Karres Rodgers Coates Meyer McCrackei Sideman Berg Dudley C-HARLOTTE+H v, I m V Page One Hundred Seven ville team. David Coates saved the game for the Wildcats with a 95-yard return of a kickoff in the third quarter. Central 14; Atlanta Tech 0 November 23, 1940 Playing in extremely hot weather and showing marked superiority over their op- ponents, the Central High Wildcats downed the Atlanta Tech team, 14-0. Bob Sideman was the ball-carrying star with his constant line bucks. The Techs simply couldn ' t stop him. Co-Captain Andy Karres again gave an outstanding defensive exhibition for the Wildcats. He broke through the Tech block- ers all afternoon to nail them for losses. Charlie Mulwee and Pug Green also played spectacular football for the Wildcats. This was the first win for the Wildcats over At- lanta in a number of years. Central 37; Harding 0 November 29, 1940 The final victim of the mighty Central High Wildcats for 1940 was Harding High. The Wildcats smashed the city-rivals 37-0 for an easy victory. David Coates, Bob Side- man, Chunk Simmons, George Payne, and Ralph Kelly led the Wildcats with their magnificent running attack. A highlight of the game was Sideman ' s 100-yard run of Smith ' s pass for a touchdown, only to have it called back by a clipping penalty. Co-Cap- tains Andy Karres and Keg Wheeler, Pug Green, Harold Cooke, and Charlie Mulwee were outstanding in the Wildcats ' hard-charg- ing forward wall.

They won 15 games and lost 11. Six of the eleven losses were to either college freshmen or prep schools. They lost only 5 games to high school competition, which is a remarkable record. Three of the 1 5 wins were over col- lege freshmen. Johnny Muse was the spark of the team throughout the season along with George Sherrill, Charles Porter, David Coates, Bill Freeze, and Ed Dudley. Substitutes Hal Owens, Doug Donald, Gordon Gatlin, Ken Mclntyre, Bill Simmons, and Bob Sideman played well in relief rolls. SCORES Central 24 Salisbury 17 Central 27 Spartanburg 21 Central 20 Ga.

Page One Hundred Fourteen CENTRAL ' S BOXING TEAM Central ' s boxing team, undefeated in 28 matches and groomed as State, Dixie and Southern Champs renewed their ring wars by venturing into a schedule that was expected to snap the long, winning streak of the national renown champs. Bessemer City ventured to Charlotte with their strongest team in its history to but go down by a defeat of 9 to 1. Coach Bradford ' s little proteges showed superior class in every respect. Drawing the feature of the night went to Central ' s version of hammering Henry Armstrong, Dwight Moore. Next Central was groomed for one of the toughest meets of the season but came through in a style that really showed superior coaching and training. This foe was Atlanta Tech who returned home after a shameful defeat of 10 to 0 of which 6 knockouts were featured. Idol, Meena, Moore, Rice, Kissiah, and Cap- tain Green were the ones who administered these knockouts. Central next ventured out of town to add one more victim to their long string of consecutive wins. This opponent being Hamlet. Central fought at a disadvantage throughout this entire night but came out with 5y 2 to 3 win that was earned without any question whatsoever. Captain Pug Green drew the toughest assignment by fighting McGee of Hamlet. The Hamlet lad nosed out a close decision. Central ' s next opponent, who undefeated in 20 years, met their first defeat by tangling with the Wildcats. This meet took place in Staunton, Virginia, on the home ground of the Cadets. Central surprised all by coming home with a 5] 2 to V 2 win. This meet made the 32nd consecutive win for the Cats and by this win were acclaimed Southern Interscholastic Champs. Central ' s Jimmie Meena and Donald Kinsey scored K. O. ' s while Dwight Moore, Ray Kissiah and Captain Pug Green won decisive victories over their respective opponents. The Wildcats ' last opponent was Savannah Boys High. Central ventured to this city and administered this team their worst defeat in many years. This ended by a score of 6 2 to 2 2 . Central ' s Dwight Moore administered a K. O. in the feature bout of the night. Page One Hundred Fifteen TENNIS Central ' s tennis team out to win the South- ern championship for the third consecutive year have a very hard schedule before them. They will start off the season with U. N. C. freshmen, which will be the hardest match of the year. The tennis team like the boxing team will start this season with twenty-five consecutive victories. Coach Gelwick is looking for an- other year without defeat. Back with the team this year comes the five starters from last year, they are: Captain Bob Spurrier, Don Hatch, Theo McLaughlin, Dan Knee, and Ted Keesler. SCHEDULE Mar. 29 — N. C. Freshmen, here.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sirs: I viewed with interest the picture of Andy Karres, (LIFE, May 16) our captain of the football team and President of the Student Council. If I am not too inquisi- tive, just what football position do you call this? Is it a new one that Coach Boylston thought up ? I don ' t think it is very representative of the fine fellow that he is. I also notice one other picture of two of Central ' s renowned foot- ball team, though not in uniform, in a very repulsive pose. Anonymous sport stooge. We can give no answer to this sport stooge other than the idiosyncrasies of football players. (Ed.) Dear Sirs: I have some complaints to make and I think I speak for a great many of your customers. The items to which I refer are the beauty section and the snapshot section. As for the beauty section, I think some outside person should pick the prettiest girls. As it stands it is a popu- larity contest and some of the most beautiful girls at Cen- tral are left out. I notice that in one of the past SNIPS CUTS a man from Chicago picked them from pictu res. I object to this too, as pictures often belie real beauty. The snapshot section, besides being entirely too small, has been in the past of mostly one group of students. For instance, the annual of 1940 had one girl ' s picture in seven snapshots. With 1700 students in Central your photogra- phers certainly should spread their work over a larger number. I hope you will take my criticism in a constructive way because I think the annual is getting better every year. Sincerely, Anonymous. Thank you very much Mr. Anonymous for your very constructive letter. As for the beauty section this year, we endeavored a compromise. The eight beauties that appear on the first page were elected by popular vote of all the boys at Central. The boys of Central, we feel, are true judges of beauty though they often let popularity influence their voting greatly. Due to this reason, on the second page appear beauties selected by a committee, whose names we will not mention. This committee, com- posed of both boys and girls, was instructed to nominate and vote solely for beauty and beauty alone. They were given the names of the girls elected by popular vote and asked to elect eight others who they thought should appear in the beauty section in the annual. We hope that there was no misunderstanding about this and there were no feelings hurt. As for the snapshot section, we submit this feature section as our endeavor to satisfy this demand. A special effort was made in taking the general snapshots to have all groups at Central represented. (Ed.)

Love is what makes the world go round and there is plenty of it here. At sometime or other, everybody goes through the painful, heart-rending methods of winning the one you think you love. It is very confusing though the way it ' s done. The boys are madly in love with one girl one day and the next it ' s her best girl friend. We made no endeavor to pick steady couples with these snaps but simply took them as they were found together. Couples have drifted apart, part- ners have been changed, and many love affairs have broken up. During football season all the girls fell for football players. Martha Parrish and Keg Wheeler, Cooper and George Payne, Smitty and Johnny Muse, Betty Clinton and Andy Karres (they lasted), Mr. Central fell for Miss Central and so it goes. Pete Crayton always did find good reasons for getting Rosemary Holland out of classes. John Wil- liams always took good care of Lib Heard. It was a different one for Mary Esther Civil every week. The Sequoia Johnny Williams is pic- tured with Lillian Daughtery but he has gone with about 4 or 5 girls this year. Let ' s see — there was Deannie Shaw, Dottie Sappenfield, Sara Mosley and Peggy Curlee. And so the closing of books may be the closing of romances. And then again it may be the beginning.

After a stay of several weeks — a great task for even the greatest of correspondents — he escaped just before the great forces of Procrastination and Boredom attacked. With him he brought the one and only document explaining the situa- tion in Provenity — a letter to a close friend of his, Miss Caroline Cooper. LIFE publishes this for the first time — The Prophecy of the Class of 1941. Miss Caroline Cooper 164 West Plato Ave. Bankok, Siam Dear Cooper: I received your letter in this morning ' s mail, and let me be the first to congratulate you on your forthcoming marriage. You win! Remember the bet we made gradu- ation night ten years ago that you would be hitched before me. Well I ' m still single but have my hopes. I must admit that I had no idea that your choice would be one of our own ' 41 class — Bert Cassels! He always was the lucky one. By the way, Cooper, you should see some of our old classmates these days. They ' ve really gone places and done things. Just yesterday I saw where Brevard Myers had been arrested for speeding for the twelfth time this month, and on top of all that there are about thirteen citizens around town that are suing him for reckless driving with intent to kill. Well, you can ' t blame them. He always was a mad-man behind the wheel. Augusta Cardo is now the gun moll of Fowler Wood- side, Public Enemy No. 2 1 4. The Mouse, as Woodside is affectionately known, made a get-a-way on his famous, high-powered, Blue-gooser tricycle, and is still at large. June Smith, Amanda Parsley, Betty Baxter, Speed Hovis, and Joanne Newman are still slouching around together. They are now touring the whole western division of the eastern end of the state with Mr. Peter B. Cray- ton ' s World Famous Circus and Menagerie as some of the greatest freaks of nature ever presented to the American public. I forgot to mention that Jimmy Glenn was just rewarded for his many years of constant practice and study in the field of music, by promotion to assistant leader of the three-piece Circus Band and Ensemble. I know you join me in wishing him the best of luck. Keg Wheeler, Raymond Kissiah, and Charlie Mulwee are now at the present time instructors in Monsieur Wheeler ' s School for Violin and Harp. They ' re endeavoring to teach all the girls in the city to play — (I think that is what they are teaching them!) You should see the two old maids that live down the street from me. They ' re the two Peggys — Curlee and Howard. The very latest invention in their mad man-hunt is to throw a net over the hapless victim and to gently subdue him with a steel rod or cast iron poker which they carry with them at all times. If the unhappy one happens to be under 94 years of age and can at least move about, they keep him. If he ' s otherwise, they flip a coin to see which one gets to beat his brains out. Wish ' em luck (the men). Our ole president, Bobbie Miller, is doing a fine job these days, too. He happens to be working for the city at the present time, and plans an extensive clean-up campaign in the near future. I believe that his plan will be a huge success since he is the Chief of the Street Cleaners of the lower East end of Second Ward District No. 4. Mr. Miller was not satisfied in serving the city in this one respect but has accepted another high position — Garbage Collec- tor for the same said precinct. Helping him clean up (?) are other well-known gutter manicurists namely: Private Carlisle Adams, Lieutenant Theo McLaughlin, Sergeant Charlie Sellers, Captain Donald Bryant, and the Rev. Thomas McPheeters Glasgow Phd AAK. Page One Hundred Thirty You ' ll be surprised to hear that Jon Gibbs is the new president of the Woman ' s College of S. C. Dr. Gibbs has announced that the science department of the school will soon send up a balloon for stratosphere research in that field. He has generously agreed to donate the air needed to inflate the sphere. Dr. Gibbs assures us that, quote, That ' s okay, folks, I ' ll have plenty left, unquote. Tootie rag-weed Harvey is the Dean of Girls of the same institution. I know you remember Gerald Mundy, Charlie Mincey, and Robert Evans. Well, they all help run Mincey ' s Pig and Hog Farm out on the Monroe Road now. Remember how they were always looking for some really beautiful women back at ole CHS? Well, their search is ended. Yes, on Mincey ' s Pig and Hog Farm, they declare can be found the fairest creatures on earth. Tut Diggle, Sara Grice, Margaret Cox, Lib Price, Mary Catherine Mclntyre, and Rosemary Holland are now hos- tesses in the new army camp near here. The belles left for camp yesterday to assume duties and arrived today. A funny thing happened though, because on the same day that the girls arrived 326 soldiers dropped over dead out of a possible 500 encamped here. It must have been the heat. Yeh, it must have been the heat. Many of our ole grads are in Movieland now and making good too. A new Tarzan picture, Tarzan the Lover starring Robert Atlas Zachary and Joanna Flapper Houchins played here last week. Mamma ' s Little Boys featuring Pug Honey-cup Green, Harold Buddy-boy Cook, Billy Butter-ball Morris, George Dew-drop Payne, Stu Rosemouth Childs, and G. B. Water-Lily Holtzclaw opened today. Doc McClelland, Joey Paxton, Ella Mae Kanoy, Eva Cole, Harriet Millersham, and Geraldine Mundy are now teachers down at Central. The girls hated so to leave the institution of higher learning that they were permitted to remain and teach there. You certainly remember how they all nearly collapsed from too much study our senior year. One or two had nervous breakdowns, I heard. Terrible how they used to worry and grieve over a few little les- sons, wasn ' t it? However they ' ll never be separated from their beloved alma mater as long as they live. Quite a few of our boys are really famous now. You ' ve no doubt read in the papers about Rubin Greenleaf Gins- berg. Well, that ' s ole John Allan who graduated with us, and Ginsberg is just his penname. Perhaps you ' ve read some of his more famous poems. Just recently he ' s com- pleted Ode to a Rose, Ode to a Dove and Owed to a Tailor (with two pairs of pants). Really beautiful works — Ira Davis, Dolf Wolford, and Bob Sanders are now on the stage appearing as the three greatest imitators in the world. Sanders, considered the greatest, can easily imper- sonate in rapid succession the Queen of Amaramcaculucus, the standing army of Czecho-Slovakia, Congress in ses- sion, and The French Revolution. The boys have just finished a tour of East India, Iceland, and an extended engagement between Rockingham and Salisbury. I ' m sure you haven ' t forgotten three of the purest little fellows that ever were graduated from our fair school — Frank Jackson, Francis Tomlinson, and Robert Cochrane. They ' re all doing a little farming now-a-days. They raise cotton, beans, cain, and mushrooms to some extent, but they specialize in corn! However the boys are always getting in trouble with the law, ' seems like. The Federal Government states that they would much rather have the boys keep their corn in a solid form instead of changing it to a liquid state. Nevertheless, everything turned out all right because Uncle Sam is gonna give them about thirty years with room and board free, to think it over and decide to be good lads. Well, Cooper, that ' s just about all the news. Here ' s wishing you all the happiness in the world, and the best of everything in married life. Don ' t forget us all back home, and pay us a visit real soon. We ' ll see if we can ' t dig up some of those good times we used to have and ' round up a few of the ole crowd.

PATRICK ' S DAY CARNIVAL Snips and Cuts goes to the St. Patrick ' s Day Carnival along with a crowd of 1,500 people made up of jubilant students and outsiders. When the doors of the Armory were opened at 7 :30 o ' clock on the evening of March 21, a crowd already excited by the afternoon parade began pouring in and scattering to the different con- cessions. In a few minutes the booths were buzzing with activity, and it was seemingly impossible that a few days before the floor of the building had been bare and that even a few hours before there were only empty, unadorned sections laid off for the concessions. The construction work and general management of the entire affair was the task of the Carnival committee, made up of Billy Morris, Bobby Per- cival, Joe Kumpe, Pete Crayton, Converse Roun- tree, Harold Cooke, Jimmy Glenn, Ed Thomason, Ira Davis, Bob Horning, L. A. Waggoner, Bill Baynard, Jimmy Meena, Keg Wheeler, Buck Bla- lock, Bert Cassells, Ernest Morgan, and Andy Karres. Under Chairman Morris, the committee donned overalls and began the construction about the middle of the week. Representatives from each homeroom and organization had already been chosen and several meetings had been called before definite plans could be drawn up and outlined. Morris and his men found no end of work in the preparation. Besides 52 concessions to pro- vide for, there was a 45-minute stage show to plan, a public address system to install, seven Page One Hundred Thirty -three booths to wire for electricity, a parade to arrange, and an election for the royalty to be held. So when the gala day arrived the carnival boys were still in overalls and weary from lack of sleep, but nevertheless determined and confident that everything would be in readiness. And it was. Made spectacular by the typical balloons, con- vertibles, and horns, the parade began at 3:30. Highlighted by the regal float carrying King Keg Wheeler, Queen Blanche Lampke, and her four attendants — Lib Price, Amanda Parsley, June Smith, and Virginia Livie — the procession was led across the square and through town by Cen- tral ' s marching musicians. The parade marked the beginning of the festivi- ties but not the end of work. The booths were still undecorated, the public address system had not yet been perfected, and some construction work was still necessary. So activity in the Armory was still in progress. Within a few hours the bare wood was transformed into colorful booths stacked high with provisions for the night. When opening time arrived tired students who had not yet been home for the day had just driven the last nail, tied up the last balloon, and were ready to greet the first customer. Within 15 minutes after the doors were opened, the Armory was swarming with prospective cus- tomers whose pockets jingled with nickels, dimes, and quarters. They trotted from concession to concession — from little Monte Carlo to bingo, from pitching baseballs to rifling, with stops at the eating booths for the pause that. refreshes. Stu- dents behind the counters were rushed with busi- ness and despairing for aid while the people on the other side hurried the waiters and waitresses so that they could push their way to the next booth. The first hour was spent in discovering new concessions and pastimes, exchanging nickels for tickets, and dropping these tickets on the counters. Concessionaires found a lull in activity while, with a hot dog in one hand and a biddie won on the roulette wheel in the other, the crowd gathered Page One Hundred Thirty-four around for a gala stage show. With Pete Crayton as master of ceremonies, a swing orchestra, and six other features, the show became a super- colossal success highlighted by the coronation of the royal couple. Ted Pappas and his Central High Indians wi th Deanie Shaw as vocalist played the sweet and low and then swung out in some jiving tunes that found students patting their feet and barely resisting the urge to dance. Truck Holtz- claw ' s Irish airs gave vent to the feeling for the old country. Central ' s trombone quartet com- posed of Jimmy Foures, Phil Glotzer, Tug Aber- nethy, and Don Bryant, did their share of the entertaining. A contrast in modern dancing was shown by little Bobby and Patricia Poole in a rhumba and Otto Overcash and Betty Williams in a stomping jitterbug session. Fifteen minutes after the curtains were closed on a stage show that would put Broadway to shame, the curtains were opened on a fashion show in the balcony. With the music of Kemp Dunaway ' s little symphony in the background, eight models were shown in morning dresses, afternoon dresses, date dresses, and evening dresses. A repeat performance was necessitated by the overflow of spectators. Meanwhile the activity downstairs had been resumed. Students looked into the future in the fortune-telling booth, laughed at the past in the Rogue ' s Gallery, and dreaded closing time. And eleven o ' clock was closing time for all but the carnival committee and the concessionaires. It was checking time for them. With figures before them that would have frightened the greatest mathematicians, they checked and double-checked with every precaution. It was not even closing time for them by the end of the next week. There were the Student Council, the home room, and the expense shares to apportion. There was more checking and double-checking to do. But at eleven o ' clock, the others went home from a St. Patrick ' s Day Carnival that was acclaimed as one of the most successful in the history of Central High. Page One Hundred Thirty-five SUPERLATIVES CHARLIE MINCEY, Best Looking Boy Perhaps you ' ve seen a green convertible come rolling up in front of the school in the morning and a good-looking boy get out. That was Charlie Mincey. Of course a convertible always helps with the girls, but most of them think of Charlie as going under those coveted adjectives, tall, dark, and handsome. GERALD MUNDY, Best Dressed Boy Gerald Munday heads the list of well dressed boys at Central. If you ' ve never seen a walking fashion plate right out of Esquire, just take a look at Gerald. Of course, as soon as he is graduated he will take his place as one of the ten best dressed men in the nation. Amanda Parsley, Best Looking Girl Cute? — I ' ll say she is, and she ' s got what it takes. Hollywood never has had anything on Central and here ' s proof of it. Hollyw ood had better watch its step if Central ever goes into the movie business. Some day in the not so distant future you ' ll read in the paper that Amanda Parsley has been chosen Miss America. MARY LOUISE HOVIS, Best Pressed Girl It ' s a fact that the women of the United States are the world ' s best dressers. This claim can easily be verified by taking a look at Mary Louise Hovis. It ' s easy to see that her knowledge of the technicalities of being well dressed will some day win her a position on the staff of Vogue or Mademoiselle. FOWLER WOODSIDE, Best Boy Dancer All the girls say that he ' s a smooth dancer, but he is just a jitterbug at heart. If he takes up tap dancing, he may become another Bill Robinson ; but it is this commentator ' s opinion that Fred Astaire had better watch his steps from now on. Converse Rountree, Wittiest Boy No one can deny that Converse is a first class wit of some kind or other. Have you heard his latest? If not, see him at once. It won ' t be long until the Saturday Evening Post will be printing his column, Wit and Wisdom. Of course, Converse may never take Irvin Cobb ' s place, but his place in the Hall of Wits is assured. JUNE SMITH, Best Girl Dancer If you have ever gone to a school dance, perhaps you were puzzled by that crowd of boys that jammed the center of the floor. Investiga- tions were made recently, and it was found to be June Smith ' s stag line. Maybe some day we ' ll see Smith and Woodside written in the bright lights. MARGARET COX, Wittiest Girl Her own individual dialect of the American language will win forever in the minds of those who know her. The way she says things no one else would think of, or could say if they did think of it. We ' ll no doubt have her on the radio within a year. She ' s queen of the talent of putting people in a silly humor with only an expression or wisecrack. Page One Hundred Thirty-six SUPERLATIVES ANDY KARRES, Best Boy Athlete If you ' ve seen Andy playing football, you can easily understand why he was chosen as the Best Boy Athlete. It ' s his fighting sph-it that makes him such a good athlete. Even when he ' s groggy from being hit so much, he sticks in there and keeps plugging away until the game is won. JACKIE TADLOCK, Best Girl Athlete You ' ve seen her get up at bat, and bring that look of anticipation from the girls and admiration from the boys. Hard as it is to get a boy to admit that a girl is a good athlete, Jackie just doesn ' t leave them any choice — they have to admit it. PETE CRAY-TON, Best All-Round Boy If anyone ever asks you who Pete Cray ton is. just tell him that Pete is the best all-round boy at Central. That will be enough ; because m a school as full of good all-round people as Central is to be elected the Best All-Round Boy really sets one off from the ' rest of the world. BETTY BAXTER, Best All-Round Girl Betty really deserves to have the title of Best All-Round Girl. You would have to look a long way to find a better sport than she. Getting along well with people is one of the great secrets of life, and Betty seems to have found that secret. JOHN GIBBS, Biggest Bull-Shooter They say Alexander is a swoosh, but Alexander is just small fry compared to John Gibbs. He ' s a bull -shooter. If the draft gets him he 11 probably be put in the trench digging division. He ' s had lots of experience with a shovel. They may even install him as a new propaganda machine. But if the draft fails to get him he will become a second Joe E. Brown. CAROLINE COOPER, Biggest Heart Breaker The next time you ' re in Charleston be sure to see the Cooper River. You must do this to be able to comprehend the destruction wrought by Caroline Cooper. They say that all the tears that she has caused to be shed would make this river overflow. BOBBIE MILLER, Boy Most Likely to Succeed We often wonder if Bobbie ever attempts anything in which he doesn ' t succeed, after seeing the way he always sticks at a job till he ' s won. We can guess that in the shortest possible time, he ' ll have specs on the end of his nose, looking very wise, and calling himself Dr. Miller. MARY CATHERINE MdNTYRE, Girl Most Likely to Succeed Mary Catherine is well on her way to success. One of her recent successes was the winning of the D. A. R. citizenship award, the highest honor that can come to a Central girl. Her success lies in other fields also. I Notice that she is already riding in a new station wagon ) Page One Hundred Thirty-seven LIFE ON THE NEWSFRONTS OF THE WORLD Andrew Karres Concedes Victory to Robert E. Miller. The day was May the 30th, the hour was 2:45. The place was the renowned student council office of Central High School. An anxious mob of students surged closer and closer around two boys who squatted on the paneled floor. No one moved; every eye was fixed on the dreadful sight. Now a murmur quivered through the crown. Now silence; some more silence. Quickly one of the two boys on the floor flipped a round object with extreme dexterity and sank back to rest beside his companion. Wearily the other chap rose and prepared to play. Slowly he turned his little round piece and — zingo — he had failed. A mighty shout broke loose and the mob rushed forward. The winner of the battle rose in glory; the loser slumped in defeat. Robert E. Miller had defeated Andrew H. Karres in the greatest battle of pinochle the inhabitants of the student coun- cil office had ever seen. (President Miller will leave immediately on a two-weeks ' fishing trip to recuperate.) + + + Butterball ' s Dilemma. Last week at exactly five minutes past twelve, stocky, plump Bill Morris stomped heavily down the steps to the school cafeteria and en- tered with a frown. Swiftly he crossed the floor and halted in front of the bread coun- ter. A heated argument ensued and the con- versation grew into awful shouting. The manager was called. The assistant manager was called. Finally the trouble was solved. It seemed that Butterball had been eating the delicious rolls and raisin muffins all year long and could stand it no longer. In fren- zied shouts, he declared that he had gained over eleven pounds in the last 3 months, and that something would have to be done. In a tearful voice he cried, quote: How in the world can I, ' Butterball, ' keep my figure down if they keep serving those buns? Later Butterball compromised on a pine- apple salad (without mayonnaise, of course). + + + All last week, secret police and local detectives lay in wait. Toward afternoon on the hot sultry day of May 25, two boys walked into the locker room and the biggest of the two proceeded to open their locker. The signal was given and the law closed in. The big burly youth raised his voice, sniffed the air. He could smell the trap. Ka-Pow- Ka-Pow roared over a dozen sawed-off shotguns. Surrender came a few seconds later. Police poured into the locker room and busted open the weatherbeaten old locker. They found only a few insignificant articles, the most important of which in- cluded, four bayonets, one 240 mm. howitzer, seventy pounds of shrapnel, two cases of dynamite, two machine guns, 325 pound fragmentation bombs, and 200 rounds of ammunition. When questioned about their little nick-nacks, the husky chap answered modestly, Aw, me and Parker was jus ' plannin ' a little ' coon huntin ' . IIIINhmHIII Great Men Speak. Last week the women of the local Spinster ' s Aid Society had the distinct honor of hearing three of the great- est men on the newsfronts today. Mrs. Mary Catherine Mclntyre Donald Rodgers (as she wishes to be called) first introduced Charles Autoborne Sellers who talked on the O ' leely Bird who now sings only by O ' hahi, the laughing waters of the Cat-a-wa-ba. Mr. Sellers stated that the O ' leely bird was well known to the Indians of this region but that this bird was rapidly becoming extinct. Mrs. Donald next introduced Louis Iron- stine Potter. Mr. Potter spoke on his own theory of vexation of the mire of the ilk of the class treating of the sides and angles of triangles. These theories are well known to our own Miss Eleanor Markham whose theories are contrary to those of Mr. Potter. Mrs. Rodgers then introduced Mr. Will Hienz. Mr. Hienz discussed Mr. Potter ' s theories pro and con with those of Miss Markham ' s and also entered some cogita- tions of Daddy Alchemist Norman. It all ended in the local dilemma jug at a noted state institution. (Ed. Note) — Mr. Sellers is also known as Boss Sellers, these days because of his renowned political relations with contest- ing powers. Mr. Sellers has never run for any office of prominence but his jerk is noticed in every political rally. + + + Unhappy Landing. A terrible wind blew across the Eastern section of Central Hem- isphere some days ago. The wind whipped into nostrils and eyes in a fury. It was con- centrated near Normanity which is located in the extreme southeastern section of Cen- tral Hemisphere. It was also felt with great aws in Longamity and Pricesimminy which are adjacent to Normanity. Some citizens heroically pulled out of the dive with nose close but were caught in another downdraft. Handling themselves superbly, the citizens landed right side up in a desk. There were no casualties. Said one Citizen: We definitely don ' t enjoy these wind storms. After investigation by committees from Longamity and Pricesimminy, it was discovered 1 that the many gas producing machines in Normanity were not operating properly and producing the fowl gust of wind. This was especially noticed around the habitation of Donald Lampke of Nor- manity who is not a gas producer but was belching forth hot air as usual. + + + L PICTURE OF THE YEAR r The darkest hour of Central ' s History was probably the last week in April. It was on that day that the school ' s beloved custodian, guardian and friend, Nellie Scooter Freeman refused to be a candi- date for the city councilman of Charlotte, N. C. For many years, Nellie has been with us at C. H. S. and through the years has almost become a tradition. And so when on the 23 of April Nellie was urged by his many friends- to run for city councilman, the school was broken-hearted at the though of losing its fine custodian. The night of the 23rd was spent in thoughtful and sincere deliberation by Scooter and his decision made. Yes, on the morrow, he announced to a waiting world of students and gobs of cameramen and reporters that he had declined the nomination and would not run. With tears in his eyes Nellie bade farewell to all political ambitions and went back to water the front steps. There you see him on the opposite page, standing in front of his cherished institu- tion. Nellie Freeman thoughtful, kind, cheerful, dependable, we salute you. Page One Hundred Thirty-eight Central Gives Atlanta Tech a Thorough Pasting In the worst defeat ever administered by the locals, a knock-out studded program classed the Atlanta-Charlotte clash as one more step up for the Central beaser busters in gaining national recogni- tion. Never in the pugilistic history of Central has a more furious program been witnessed by the many loyal followers of the team. As in every win, strat- egy plays an important role to the extent of sure victory. After the first two bouts, Central ' s Ring- master, Vincent Bradford, saw the visiting team was particularly weak in the body. The word was passed on to the locals and in every case the knockouts were solar plexis blows or heart punches. Central ' s fine interscholastic record is due to the intelligent train- ing of Vincent Bradford. Starting this superb fistic array of knockouts was our cunning and fiery Jimmie Meena. Jimmie fought his usual cool fight in the first round and by 1 minute and 22 seconds of the second round his foe was beaten into submission by a sharp snapping right to the solar plexis. Larry Idol, our boxing glamour boy, showed the calm- ness and ring poise any professional would be proud to possess. His bout, which was ruthlessly a one-sided affair, was stopped after 1 minute and 25 seconds of the first round. Larry is classed as the smoothest boxer the South has seen in many years. Sure-winner Dwight Moore next came to the battle front to administer his knock-out patent in one minute 35 seconds of the second round. Amid a fury of blows the Atlanta lad dropped to the canvas to end the bout. In the faster class of boxing, Central was well repre- sented by Nevin Rice. Nevin ' s smooth counter-punching and artistic footwork enabled him to gain a knock-out in 1 minute and 32 seconds of the second round. The Mr. Moore assists the referee as No. 6 knock-out victim bites the canvas. punch that told the tale was so fast and furious that only those possessing ring-side seats were able to conceive the whereabouts of the punch. Next, Ray Kissiah stepped in to finish his bout in one minute and 52 seconds of the first round. The Atlanta kid was dropped to the canvas twice by left hooks to the solar plexis, then the third time the Atlanta pug stayed for the count. In the final bout of the evening ' s program came the Central leader, Pug Green. Two right crosses, appropri- ately timed and placed, were the Waterloo of the Atlanta captain. This bout was classed as the fastest of the night ' s array of knock-outs. Green showed superiority in every respect and the bout was, without any doubt, won before a punch was thrown. Top: Captain Green ' s wallop in action. Time: 1 min. 43 sec. Central ' s State Champion Kinsey adds one more to his list of victims. Left: Jimmy Meena, Central ' s scrappin ' Greek, continues his knock-out list in time of 1 min. 4 sec. Right: Jimmy Basinger, Central ' s young- est veteran, tears into Atlanta ' s captain and did the job nicely in a furious bout. Top : Ex-Captain Kissiah ' s opponent who didn ' t last long. Central ' s Nevin Rice wins his fight with the same good form. Compliments of JOlJLApI JOlWUL DOUGHNUT GO.

The title was A Marriage Proposal with Dick Cohen, Jackie ReQua and Gene Grae- ber as the stars. It was directed by the department ' s new director, Miss Mary Louise Greene. You Can ' t Take It With You, a successful Broadway hit and Pulitzer Prize winner, was the first three-act play presented. It kept the audience roaring with laughter every minute and they still remember the way Bill Rice kissed Anita Kenney. Everett Campbell, Mary Oltman, Anita Kenney and Bill Rice played the leading roles with a swell supporting cast. The Variety Show which is an annual affair featuring school talent in every field and given to raise money for the Student Assembly was better than ever having every one in the school cooperating. It featured such notables as Kemp Dunnaway and his band, Helen O ' Neal and Gordon Houser. A student throw-off on the teachers and a gay ninety melodrama were presented. Following the Christmas holidays the Dramatics De- partment began working on Marco Polo. It was pre- sented in February, in connection with the Junior League.

Time does such queer things that it is hard to realize that this same five hundred is the senior class of ' 41. With two-thousand five hundred new books in our library and all other requirements passed, we sophomores faced little danger of not being able to graduate from a grade A accredited high school. Three weeks after school opened we made our first of a long series of weekly visits to the stadium to see Cen- tral open its football season with a 6 to 0 win over Barium Springs. Late in October, the dance loving sophomores had their first taste of those good old Central scrips. After the two factions from Piedmont and Alexander Graham had had time to get acquainted, they elected Andy Karres, president; Joanne Newman, vice-president; Lester Brooks, secretary; Jimmy Foures, treasurer; and Mr. Price, class adviser. The Music Department reached a new high in its elaborate production of the Pirates of Penzance. The dramatic life of Central was revived with two well attended productions, Queens Husband and Pride and Prejudice. Andy Karres was chosen to lead the class for another semester. Donald Bryant was elected vice-president; Anita Kenny, secretary; and Brevard Myers, treasurer. The annual Carnival was a success and was thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds of students and patrons of Central who attended. High school students from all over the South had the opportunity of a glimpse of Central and its activity when they were here for the National Music Contest. The best high school bands in the South were here to compete. Central ' s band, orchestra, and chorus received the highest ratings given in their respective classes. Our sophomore year ended with a sigh of relief, for when school reopened in September, our vacancies would be filled by boys and girls that we could look down upon and say to ourselves Just sophomores. The first semes- ter of our junior year found Billy Morris, president; Harold Cook, vice-president; Caroline Cooper, secretary; and Bill Garrett, treasurer; and Mr. Norman, class adviser. Andy Karres, serving as treasurer, represented the junior class on the Student Council. September brought about a change in the athletic de- partment. Coach Bradford, the popular mentor from Pied- mont, was elevated to the coaching post left open when Coach Allen took over duties of Athletic Director of City Schools. For its Fall project the Music Department pre- sented Bohemian Girl, the first opera produced at Cen- tral. The Bishop Misbehaves and Taming of the Shrew were the plays produced by the dramatics of Central. For the second semester Bobbie Miller served as presi- dent; Jimmy Foures, vice-president; Anita Kenny, secre- tary; and Betty Richard, treasurer. Early in May when the weather was just beginning to be warm and sunny, the band and orchestra journeyed down to the real Land of Sunshine for the National Music Contest. The high tradition of the band and orchestra was upheld; they received I ratings in all departments of competition. Page One Hundred Fifty-two The Junior Marshals, headed by Bobbie Miller, ushered the senior class out and made room for another class of proud seniors. The first official action of the senior class was to elect Andy Karres, president; Stewart Childs, vice-president; Betty Richard, secretary; Bill Garrett, treasurer; and Mr. Price, class adviser. The following seniors were officers of the Honor Socety: Harriet Wilcox, president; Virginia Smith, vice-president; Lois Ritch, secretary; Emmett Bryan, treasurer. The heads of the school publications were: SNIPS AND CUTS— Brevard Myers, editor, Billy Morris, business manager; LACE AND PIG IRON Joanna Houchins, editor, Lib Heard, business manager; RAMBLER— Polly Prince, Lib Simpson, Louise Smith ' associate- editors. Central was represented on the gridiron by a team that proved themselves worthy of the school they represented. The Wildcats took revenge of the three defeats of the previous season by taking the same three teams, Winston, Columbia, and Atlanta Tech, and scoring impressive vic- tories against each. The Variety Show was the next thing on the Winter docket, and it went over in a big way. The Carnival in the following semester was even bigger and better than the previous one. No senior will ever forget the day when he came to school and found half his fellow students absent because of the flu epidemic. Likewise no senior will ever forget those hot sultry days he spent going to school in June when most schools had been able to set its students free nearly two weeks before. The senior class elected Pete Crayton, president for the second semester. Harold Cook was elected vice-president; Mary Katherine Mclntyre, Central ' s D. A. R. candidate ' , secretary; and Jean Denton, treasurer. The honor society elected Carlisle Adams, president, Jane Boovy, vice-presi- dent, Betty Sherrill, secretary, and John Lineberger, treasurer. The reward to the band, orchestra, and chorus for a year ' s work came in the form of a trip up to Richmond for the National Music Contest. The trip was highly successful in all respects. A group couldn ' t have had a more enjoy- able trip or a more profitable one. This history would be incomplete without paying tribute to the fine athletic teams that have been produced by our two genial coaches, Coach Bradford and Coach Boylston. The football, baseball, bas- ketball, and track teams have made records through these past three years that we display with pride. The boxing and tennis teams boast strings of victories that cannot be equaled in the history of Central. We have been proud of all our teams and proud that they bore the name of Central High. The Class Day officers will be: Converse Rountree, pro- phet; Bobbie Miller, lawyer; Anita Kenny, artist; Dot Sappenfield, poet; and Theodore McLaughlin, historian. With a sudden shock we realize that our high school days are over; only a few days separate us from the time when we shall have completed a definite era. We shall always be able to look back on these years with pride and feel that these years spent together have given us at least a large part of the foundation upon which we have built the rest of our lives.

TRYON One Hundred Seventy-two One evening in February 1941, from 9:30 to 12:30, Central High School of Charlotte, N. C, presented its first invitational dance of the year in the school gymnasium. The affair, as was expected, turned out to be a great suc- cess with the music of Gib Todd and orchestra rendering waltz, jitterbug, slow number, and occasionally a Conga. During the latter, the crowd usually stood around and spectated; not very often did a brave couple actually try the switching of hips essential to this type of dance. The gym was very appropriately decorated by members of the dance committee in red and white with paper hearts adding the final touch. The decorating job, which in- cludes climbing rafters and working day and night is always done by the boys on the dance committee and not envied in the least. LIFE ' S photographer, while walking around admiring the scintillating young girls in their love- liest of dresses, stumble upon an attractive couple well known around the place and decided to follow them from beginning to end of the gay night. The results are found on this page. P.S. — Our photographer, by the closing hours of the eve- ning was completely worn out but hadn ' t danced a single step, — he sighs — Ah! Youth!
