HILLIFE-1944 Glyaaa jfialczg Now that graduation has become a reality instead of just a -dream, we must admit that we are a little sorry to leave our school. The four years have seemed long, but think of all the good times we've had and all the things we'll never forget. We will all look back and remember how it felt to be freshmeng the little fish in the big new school. We didn't even know all the people in our class anymore! Charles Pullen was Student Body President that year and the library system was put in. We remember our swimming team and that ex- citing Glee Club trip to Greensboro. And remember that first high school party-the picnic out at Hollow Rock, when we all crowded on the truck and bumped out there and had a wonderful time. We can't remember our fresh- man year without thanking Coach Peacock for the good start he gave us. Next year we were bigger fish with Bobby Wettach as president. For the Hrst time one of our class ran for a Student Council office. Bill Lloyd was nominated for secretary. It was this year that all of us took a part in the sports program. Mutt Thrift, Ben Perry, and Bill Kilpatrick were the out- standing Sophomores represented in athletics. We all grew up this year- and the girls courageously started wearing lip stick. The next summer was the most momentous of our high school career- for the night of July 31, our six-year-old school building burned. We owe all our thanks to the Baptist Church for their kindness in letting us use their building during our Junior year. Under the able leadership of Billy Cheek as Student Body President we became adjusted to the new sur- roundings. With the understanding sympathy of our Superintendent, Mr. Honeycutt, and the help of the new principal, Mr. C. E. Buckner, much that we ha-d lost was restored. The High School Library was rebuilt, in a remarkably short time, to its former size and usefulness by Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. Crockford and the gen- erous contributions of the people of the town. Along with Biology and General Science a study of rodents was instituted as a supplement to American History. Two important innovations were the shortened schedule and the home room system. We ended the year with a Junior-Senior Dance at Graham Memorial at which music was provided by the Pre-Flight School Band. We started this year in the Baptist Church but after a few weeks moved to the Cone House and Elementary School which generously let us use their rooms on the ground floor. Ben Perry was elected President of the Student Body. The success of the many student council enterprises is due largely to his influence. Our athletic teams this year have proven to be the best in many seasons. The football team finished the season unscored upon and undefeated. The baseball and basketball teams showed extraordinary ability. And last of all with the determined editorship of Carl Durham we have been able to publish this our 1944 annual. Page Thirty-one
