Now we rniist board whiche'er we choose And sail to the rim of the shy. Help its to choose, O Father in Heaven, The ship with the straightest keel,- The one with the stoiitest timber and iron, And heaviest hand on the wheel. Through the tropical wind and the arctic sleet, In blinding flash and rain, Past straits and reefs where others were wrecked We'll bring her safe again. Teachers and friends, good people on shore: Fear not for as as we part. From you we ve learned to guide our ship With a stern and obedient heart. J oYcE FERGUSON Class Poet 1 ,. :S Rage Nineteen Class History Yep, that's us-the Senior Class of 1946. Smallest graduating class in the history of the High School fwe thinkl and also the most misunderstood. We've really had our troubles, but hasn't it all been fun! We started off in the fall of forty-one on the third floor of the Element- ary School. Those of us who had skipped the newly-added eighth grade and others who had filtered in made up our class. Ardie Hamilton was our Freshman Class President. And how could we forget marching single file to classg Mrs. Bentz teaching first aid, and Mrs. Plemmons stating, Mathe- maticians have agreed . . . The next year we were promoted to the Sophomore Class and to the Baptist Church. Several weeks later, however, we were told, Pick up your desks and pass out quietly. This accomplished, we were soon settled in the Cone House-in the kitchen-chemistry room now. That was the year we had algebra in the master bedroom, also the year we had at least six different English teachers. Winifred Thompson was Class President, and we gave a Sophomore dance at the Legion Hut. Our Junior year found us in Room 23, back in the Elementary School-- this time in the basement-and under the wing of Miss Anderson. With her guidance and the leadership of Houston Teague, Class President, we went to work and sold more magazine subscriptions than any Junior Class before us. Also, for the first time in a number of years, Class Rings were ordered during the Junior year. Plans for the Junior-Senior banquet were made and kept very secret. The Seniors sadly thought that our plans in- cluded a hayride and wiener roast. In reality the Junior-Senior was a din- ner-dance at the Graham Memorial. The Seniors were foiled again when we declared an I Don't Speak to Seniors! Day. The Juniors split two' basketball games with the Seniors, our boys winning the second. Junior Marshals were chosen by the Senior Class, nevertheless, and relations were friendly between the two Classes at graduation. Well, it was a hard fight, but we won. We finally were Seniors. We were stationed in Ditmars' Dope Factory next to the cafeteria and our home-room teacher, Mrs. Ditmars, as well as most of the rest of the teach- ing staff, was new to us. But, with the help of Mr. Davis, many things were done during our last year of CHHS. The much-discussed Athletic Association was put into effect and officers were elected by the members. Extra-curricular clubs were organized with teachers as sponsors. Senior Sponsors were elected by each class. Drinks and food were sold at basket- ball games by the Seniors. And a formal Senior dance was held. And so, after four years of higher learning, we graduate. We leave behind us an outstanding record . . . outstanding in many ways. While we weren't necessarily the best that comes in the little package, we were the surprise that's hidden in the great, big one. Page Twenty LCQC1-K 4 ,AJ Last Will and Testament We, the Graduating Class of Chapel Hill High School, on leaving this realm, hereby do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. With best wishes to our posterity we bequeath our all, the best and the worst, to those listed below: Item I-Our only family heirloom, namely, the ability to stand alone, we bestow to the rising Sophomore Class. Item II-Robert Brooks leaves his collection of photographic experiences to Bill Foister in the hope that it will do the latter more good than it did the former. Item III-David Sharpe leaves his walking encyclopedia to his chemistry teacher, Mr. Pittman. Item IV-Houston Teague, having spent all the Student Council funds, regrets that he can't give the girls anything but love. Item V-Elizabeth Lyons willingly presents her ledger and red pencils to the business manager of next year's Proconian. Item VI-Betsy Emory leaves her talent for driving and for talking sweetly to policemen to Jean Cashion with the hope that she uses them to the best advantage and stays out of court. Item VII-Joyce Ferguson's smoke rings are graciously left to Peggy Durham providing she doesn't use them until she comes of age. Item VIII-Ruth Young leaves her ability with music to the next year's high school bandleader with the hope that it will be put to good use. Item IX-Confident that he deserves them, Billy Basnight presents his aliases, Wolf and Casanova, to Scott Gardner. Item X-Pat Winslow passes on her basketball ability to Jo Besse with the warning never to let down her guard. Item XI-Musically, Clyde Pridgen and Nancy Williams leave their songs to Eliza- beth Morrison and Lois Whitt, and Carlyle Markham presents her eighty-eight keys to Madaleine Jennings. Item XII-Roger Neal, after much consideration, leaves his stilts to Neal Creighton, hoping that he will be careful with them. Item XIII-Edward Buckner joyfully turns over his taxi service to Milo Crawford or anyone else who will take it. Item XIV-Preston Wescoat leaves her quiet ways for Jane Webb, Mary Deane Williams, and Esther Cheek to share. Item XV-Catherine Lewis bestows upon Emmett Pendergraph her blonde tresses and a portion of her bobby pins. Item XVI-Stanley Cohen, with a sly remark, passes on to Jack McCauley his ever-ready wit and humor. Item XVII-Winifred Thompson grants her quiet dignity and poise to Phyllis Ferguson with the hope that she may use them well. Item XVIII-Erwin Danziger leaves Mrs. Peacock the book that made him in- famous, How To Win An Argument. Item XIX-Betty Sue Duncan leaves Stanford Whitfield in the hands of the Junior girls, knowing that he will be well taken care of. Item XX-Jimmy Blake gives his athletic ability and modesty to his faithful friend, Smitty Lineberger. Item XXI-Ardie Hamilton leaves her beautiful smile and Ipana Tooth Paste to Dot Hogan. Item XXII-Jack and Jimmy Crawford leave their troubles of dual names to Joyce and John Boone. Item XXIII-Watts Sparrow bestows his knowledge of engines upon Dale Dollar. Item XXIV-Howard Bennett and John Curtiss leave their ability to get quickly settled in a new place to newcomers next year. Item XXV-Edwin Cheek leaves his typewriter to Jocelyn Rhyne in the hope that it will cut down on her errors. Item XXVI-Nancy Shields leaves her passion for Nelson Eddy to Miss Lewis to make her shortin' bread better.

This year the hard-Working Student Council, under the leadership of President Houston Teague, proved itself vitally interested in representing the students on all school affairs and projects, large and small. One of the first accomplishments of the Student Council during 1945-46 was the publishing of the fifth edition of the CHHS Handbook to help orient the incoming freshman class and new students. Other projects have been the sponsoring of clean-up campaigns for the school grounds and active participation in such nation-wide drives as victory bond sales, the sale of tuberculosis seals, and the March of Dimes campaign. The most important task, as well as the most difficult one, undertaken by the Council was the forming of a brand new Ath- letic Association. This job had been attempted several times in previous years but was not com- pleted until this year. The Coun- cil did everything in its power to give the new organization a good start by drawing up a pro- posed constitution, supervising the sale of membership tickets, FRANK AND SAU FUNDS and holding an othcer-election.

A little paint, or chalk, some paper, and twenty ambitious students- that was the Art Club. Organized with the help of the advisor, Mrs. Helen Macon, the Club had as its largest activity the regular Saturday morning visits to the Person Art Gallery at the Univ-ersity, where Miss Helene Tiranoff of the U. N. C. Art Department gave instruction in painting and drawing. Here the members of the Art Club got a chance to do some painting and sketching. The High School aided the Club by purchasing supplies su-ch as paper, crayons, and paints, with which the Club expanded their work. In addition to the Art Gallery visits, the Club had active weekly meet- ings on Monday mornings. After the routine business was taken care of, Mrs. Macon, the advisor, and President Roy Parker led the Club members in various art projects. During the year these included decorating the bulletin board in the basement of the ele- mentary school, taking trips over village and campus for sketching and painting, and following with interest the various Person Art SKETCHING AT CONE Gallery exhibits.

Writing a constitution, affiliating with the State and National Organizations, initiat- ing new members, and raising money for improvements in the cottage were part of the activities of the all-girl organization when striving to get going again. With Cooperating for School Bettermentn as the theme for this year's program, the F. H. A. sponsored assembly programs and par- ticipated in activities to improve the school. The F. H. A. Motto, Toward New Horizonsf' expresses the purpose of the organization-learning to live better today in order that their lives and those of their families may be better tomorrow. The Club feels that work with other clubs in the State has been i beneficial and greatly responsible for its progr-ess. One of the high- lights of the season was the State Rally in Raleigh early in May, C T where State F. H. A. Oiificers were elected. The delegates were entertained in the after- noon with a tea given by Mrs. Gregg Cherry at the Governor's Mansion. 2-xiii N .,A8,.L,x: COOKING Page F01 ty thlee Library Club '7 FIRST ROW, left to right: Ruth Young fpublicity chairmanj , Madeline Jennings Cvice- presidentj, Mary Deane VVilliams tpresidentl, Elizabeth Lyons Qsecretary-treasurerJ, Mrs. Helen M.

With Mrs. Helen Peacock as guiding spirit, the thirty-two Library Club members, aside from attending the regular Weekly meetings, carried on numerous duties and activities, including working at the circulation desk, keeping track of the library's constant stream of magazines and newspapers, typing a variety of cards for the catalog and other files, ar- ranging bulletin boards, decorating the library for Christmas, processing new books received, writing and delivering over-due notices, and preparing an assembly program for Book Week. But all work and no play would make any Library Club Member a dull person. The list of social functions included a Weiner roast Q at the home of the secretary, Christmas caroling on the night of the iirst big snow, a hayride, and a tea for the mothers. Mary Deane Williams was an SHELVING BOOKS enthusiastic Club president. Page Forty-four Science Club FIRST ROW, left to right: William Wolf ftreasurerl, Mr. Pittman fadvisorj, Phyllis Ferguson.

The in- ventions and improvements of the World of tomorrow will come from the high school students of today. Also, a minimum knowledge of scientific principles will enable one to enjoy the improvements fully. It was with these ideas in mind that the Chapel Hill High School Science Club was or- ganized last year. While the membership was small and the activities were limited, the Club is expected to in-crease in both next year. At one of the first Club meetings, it was decided that the Club would join the Science Clubs of America to further its activities. Later oflicers were elected and a constitution if was drawn up for the Club. W Each one of the Science Club members Worked on an in- dividual project during the year, and group activities increased as the year progressed. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Science Club members, the Club was forced to discontinue its activities in the spring of the year.

Through the year it carried on its purpose of studying and applying the principles and practices relating to better agriculture and homemakingg of developing greater happiness and richer social life in the community by wholesome recreation, and of producing trained leadership and citizenship among its members. The Club plans to continue with its activities during the summer by attending Camp Millstone near Rockingham, North Carolina, and by taking the short course at State College in Raleigh. rty-s'i.1c 21 Club 1 af .

During the year, the Club had South American students, who were taking courses at UNC, to talk to them about their pepole and Ways. Another activity was making a map on which were placed samples of products and minerals found in these countries. The Rotary Club sponsored the 21 Club and in May conducted an essay contest with a first prize of ten dollars.

MacKinney. After Page Forty-eight losing their second teacher, Mrs. Earl Slocum, the choir was stop- ped until mid-January when Mrs. Jane Ishee was secured for the position. Under her direc- tion, the choir worked hard to present a program at Com- mencement. This year a new program was set up whereby the students were given more time to practice. Girl Reserves ...

This year, under the admirable leadership of President Elizabeth Lyons, the Chapel Hill division of the junior Y. W. C. A. helped to sell tuberculosis seals and collected donations on Tag Day for the Infan- tile Paralysis Drive. To those in R . need on Christmas and Thanks- giving, baskets of food were de- livered. Two large rummage sales in the fall and spring were held and there were several sup- per mettings with entertainment afterwards. The annual Christ- mas Dance was a great success and so was the party given in March. Page Forty-nine I 1 l AN The second year of printed Procoiziazzs for Chapel Hill High was a year full of important news for the school. its alumni, and its friends. Editors Sharpe, Cohen, and Ferguson. and Business Man- ager Lyons, started from the ground fioor in the fall of 1945.

Blake Leads Cats to ictorious Season Blake Leads First CHHS Athletic Association Longest Coaches Baseball Team Footballers Turn In ii, Good Performance Although the football season was not a victorious one, it may be considered a success- ful one. The football team, largely composed of new ma- terial, had valuable experience in the ways and means of the game, which should prepare the Cats to produce a win- ning eleven next season. The scores made by the Cats show two victories tboth over Gra- haml and six losses. Under the expert coaching of Mr. Cecil Longest, the phys- ical education director of the High School, the CHHS Wild- cat baseball team has shown the continued fighting spirit necessary to have a winning team. 'Among the returning let- termen and reserves, who led the Hillians, were Smitty Lineberger, Houston Teague, Lawrence Cheek, Jimmy Blake, Roy Riggsbee, Bob Farrell, and Billy Scott. Great Strides Made Under Able Officers Under the able leadership of President Jimmy Blake and Faculty Advisor Lawrence E. Pittman, the Chapel Hill High School Athletic Association has accomplished many services to athletics in the school since its organization last January. In addition to providing the necessities for the basketball and baseball games, it has bought new uniforms and equipment for the teams. The Athletic Association of l946 is the first in High School history. CHHS Basketeers Put School On Athletic Map The Chapel Hill Basketeers this year had the most suc- cessful season in years. With Jimmy Blake leading the Hil- lians as high scorer, they had an almost undefeated season. Their first heartbreak was to Burlington in the first game of the Wildcat season by a 29- 24 defeat: but when Burling- ton came back for another helping, they got smeared with a 27-18 decision in Chapel Hill's favor. There were sev- eral close thrillers when the Wildcats came out from be- hind a losing score at the half to a victory when the final whistle blew: good examples of this were the Curry and Bragtown games when the Cats won by only one point. The CHHS Basketball team was ably coached through their victorious season by George Thompson, who is studying at the University. The high school looks forward to using this year's experi- ence for an even better team next year. In the Sanford Tournament the team played th1'ee games with Greenwood, Moncure, and Sanford. The Cats beat Green- wood on Wednesday to the tune of 41 to 43 won on Thurs- day night over Moncure, 33 to 17: but were beaten 22-12 in a heartbreaker Friday night to a packed house with a record turnout of CHHS routers. Football During their football season, the Chapel Hill Wildcats won two games and lost six. Their two victories were over Graham, 21-0 and 35-0. They lost to Methodist Orphanage, Siler City, and Oxford. The Hillians scored a total of 68 pointsg their opponents, 98. The Cats were held back throughout the season by numerous heavy injuries. They were at full strength for only two games. The Wildcat coaches were Marion M. f Chub J Richards and his assistant Al Crawford. Richards is a native of Erie, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Catawba College in 1941. He came to Chapel Hill to take post-graduate work in physical education at the University. I .AQ COACH CHUB RICHARDS JIMMY BLAKE Bluke was the most experienced man on the team. As fullback he ran, passed, and kicked against the best our op- ponents oifered. Page Fzfty-six SMITTY LINEBERGER Smitty's hard work and spirit proved to be a valuable asset to the team. His ability at end should make him a star on the varsity next year. Chapel Hill 21-Graham 0 Chapel Hill 6-Oxford 7 COLLIER HILL Playing his first year for the Wildcats, Collier proved his ability by holding down the tail- back spot and leading the team in scoring. JOHN BOONE John could always be depended upon to play a cool, steady game. He is a sophomore and will be a fine guard next year. HOUSTON TEAGUE Huey was hampered by iniuries part of the sea- son but was a dangerous runner and one of the best passers on the team. 'WF' I e f C SULLY MASON As a freshman player, Sully showed his fighting spirit. He was the small- est fellow on the team, but his speed made him an outstanding player. Bos PHILLIPS Bob maneuvered skill- fully on end runs and gained respect from his teammates with his will- ingness and endurance. FRANK PITTMAN In his second year on the football team, Frank proved to be a cool thinker, a hard runner, and a man on whom Coach Richards could al- ways depend.

BILL STANFORD Although he started late, Bill worked hard and played well in sev- eral games. He suffered a broken nose in one of them. BILL BUTLER Bill was known to his teammates as the hard- est player on the field because he played with all that he had in every game. EMMETT PENDERGRAPH Emmett was a hard tackler and a good blocker. His play in the line merited him a start- ing position in several games. MILO CRAWFORD Milo, a good -defensive player, was a big help to the team. He should handle a varsity position next year. Chapel Hill 0-Methodist Orphanage 25 Chapel Hill 0-Siler City 8 Page Fifty-eight DWIGHT WRIGHT Dwight's outstanding play at center made him an important part of the team.

Chapel Hill 0-Oxford 28 Chapel Hill 6-Methodist Orphanage 32 Page Fifty-nine Basketball At the beginning of the season, Coach George Thompson had only five lettermen and some twenty more players inexperienced in var- sity ball. After a few weeks hard work, the Chapel Hill Wildcats opened their season with one of the strongest teams on the schedule. The first game was lost. After the Christmas holidays, the Cats start- ed one of their greatest winning streaks in many years. Although good coaching accounts for a large percentage of a team's victories, the spirited cooperation of the team figures high. The CHHS basketball season had a gen- erous portion of both. Page Sixty COACH GEORGE THoMPsoN JIMMY BLAKE His expert ball han- dling, his quick thinking, and his sharp shooting were the main factors in making Bluke high scorer and in making the season a successful one. S M ITTY LINEBERGER Smitty was tops in get- ting the ball off the back- board. His shooting was superb and always dan- gerous to the opposing team. He can be counted on for leadership next year. HOUSTON TEAGUE Huey was one of the best with set shots. His fast breaking and pass- ing helped the 'Cat ball team win its many vic- tories. BOB PHILLIPS Although a freshman, Bob showed his ability by Winning a starting position in many games. He proved himself one of the best players on the team and should have an excellent future.

Over fifty girls came for the first practice, and most of them stuck by Coach Mary Jane 1 Yang J Ll-oyd until the last game. Yang's fairness to the players and her patience gave the Kittens a sense of loyalty and determination. Through Yang's fine coaching, the Kittens learned to Work to- gether, a factor that put many an extra point in the basket. Even when her team was losing, Yang kept up their fine fighting spirit until the final whistle blew. COACH HYANGH LLOYD ARDIE HAMILTON Although she left in the middle of the season, Ardie proved herself a valuable player with her ability to take and keep the ball away from op- ponents. DOT HOGAN Dot's hook shots made her one of the most valu- able players on the team as Well as putting her in the place of high scorer for the season. ff mfs fa fs.: PHYLLIS FERGUSON Phyllis' fighting spirit and untiring energy made an important part of the team in every game. Even though she spent some time on the floor, Phyllis never let the ball go into the hands of the opponent. Page S11 ty th: ee W?-Y., :rv ufiffffsli Qian, Jo Bzzsss Jo stuck with the ball and never stopped fight- ing to get it. Often her fast dashes sent the ball across to her team mates. PATTY W1NsL0w Patty's ability to get the ball out of opposing scoring territory and across the line made her a valuable asset to the team in any game.

The team, built around a few re- turning lettermen of last year's squad ' h', fwhich journeyed to the state champion- ship finalsl and promising freshmen, had the true Wildcat fighting spirit. Quite a few times when things looked rather bad, the spirit and speed of the team came to the rescue. Handling most of the hurling duties for the 'Cats were Stanley Johnson, Smitty Lineberger, and Curtis Whitfield. The infield was built around Russell Perry, Lawrence Cheek, Roy Riggsbee, Jimmy Blake, and Collier Hill with Jack Crawford and Bill Butler doing the catching.
