r— — THE TECHNIQUE 1945 Published By THE SENIOR CLASS OF CHARLOTTE TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL Charlotte, N. C. Jack Camp Phyllis McKinnon Pat Moore Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Business Manager DEDICATION ONE score and three years ago a little high school was built on Louise Avenue. Since this time there has been an outstanding teacher h ere. She has been a radiating light of help to her students as she taught her classes. With her deep sense of humor in and out of the classroom, she has gained the love and respect of the students. In school activities, parties, and get-togethers she has played an active part. As a leader in church work, she has been outstanding. It has been through her efforts, along with others, that our school has progressed. It is with deepest sincerity that we. the Senior Class of Technical High School, dedicate this 1945 volume of the TECHNIQUE to MlSS MAIE MYERS.

Martin Lloyd Ross Charles Sinclair Henry Sherrill Wendell Sloan James Taylor A TRIBUTE TO SERVICEMEN Gone are the days when you were in school, Gone are the days when you broke the rule: The bugle has blown and you’ve marched away, But you ' ll be back on some happier day. To you we salute and to you we give praise, We’re proud to have shared our old school days: We re proud of the honor that you’ve brought to Tech, A finer record we couldn’t expect. You ' re on the battlefronts the world around, Wherever you re needed, that’s where you’re found: You take on the foe without any fear, Another reason we hold you so dear. May Heaven give blessing, and God keep in check, The boys whom we love, the boys from TECH. — Jack Kissiah. Page Three ADMINISTRATION Mr. H. P.

FAREWELL TO TECH The day draws near when we must say Farewell To our faculty, classmates, and to you. Tech, as well. We enter a world of uncertainty and sorrow To do our part in the world of tomorrow. Many happy hours we have spent here at school. And many times we have disobeyed the easiest rule: But. all in all. we’ve kept our standards high. And now as we leave, much harder we must try. Many of our classmates will be sent far away To the wars that threaten our safety today. With these boys will be our prayers for a quick and safe return, We thank them for their efforts toward the peace for which we yearn. But now, our student days are nearing their end. We determine in our hearts to finish the tasks we begin. The curtain falls; Juniors, we leave our places to you, And turn to face a bigger world as we proudly say Adieu. — MIDGIE CARNES. Page Twelve CLASS HISTORY Seven years ago. as we became high schoolers and started our class at Tech, we looked at the seniors and thought, “How wonderful it is to be a senior! We dreamed of this memorable year of 1945 when we should graduate and become a part of the business world. Little did we realize then that our school days were the happiest of all. As we draw near the day of graduation, we look back to our most interesting classes. In the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades we like to think of the history, geography, civics, and math classes. When we became sophomores, juniors, and seniors, we took the advanced studies: algebra, geometry, world history, and American history. It was then that we began the courses that will be used in later years. Some took college preparatory and science courses; others, secretarial and business courses. The boys played football while the girls learned to cook and sew. How eager we were to type, and how often we said to ourselves, “Will I ever learn to type? Those who took Bible as an elective may well say that it was the subject that meant most to them. How inspiring it is to go from the crowded and noisy halls to a room where we can read, meditate, and pray! French and Latin were also very interesting and helpful electives. We should like to recognize the outstanding organizations in which the seniors have a part. First we will mention the Senior Girl Reserves under the leadership of Miss Myers. Mary Elizabeth Conder is president; Midgie Carnes, secretary; and Martha House, treasurer. We heartily appreciate the Girl Reserves ' helping the TECHNIQUE staff. Next, there is the Student Council, which is the governing body of the school. The president of this important organiza- tion is Ruby Drake. The Honor Society is one of the most respected groups of the school and is doing much, under the direction of Miss Clegg, to encourage scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Two seniors who hold offices in this society are: Pauline Bell, president, and Phyllis McKinnon, vice-president. We are happy to say that eleven seniors are members of this society. We are glad to see so many in our class with special talents, and we hope they will always use their talents to advantage. Some are gifted with beautiful voices and skilled hands, others with literary talent and business ability. Many have a talent for drama — as was shown last year in the Junior play. “The High School Mystery, directed by two very patient and loving teachers, Mrs. Kistler and Mrs. Davidson. It was not until we were juniors that we felt real responsibility. The most important thing during this year was the planning of the Junior-Senior Banquet. We would like to express our appreciation to the advisers, ,Mrs. Kistler, Mrs. Davidson, and Mr. Hintz, for making that year one that we shall always remember. The faithful officers of the Junoir Class were: president. James Taylor; vice-president, D. R. Martin; secretary, Virginia McGinnis; and treasurer, Ben Christenbury. On September 18. 1944, forty-seven students returned to school as seniors. We elected as our president Wendell Sloan, a very capable and worthy leader. Other officers are: Mary Elizabeth Conder, vice-president: Pauline Bell, secretary; and Carroll York, treasurer. We are sorry to say that during the year we lost one of our classmates, Katherine Murray. We hope that she will always be happy as the wife of Sonny Hooks. No one can forget the parties we have had during our school years. Especially will we remember the fish fry and other get-togethers of the Senior Class. At this time we would like to express our gratitude to the three senior advisers — Mrs. Shea. Miss Hinson, and Mr. Bob Selby, who have been so ready and willing to participate in any project we have undertaken. May they always remember the Senior Class of 1945! Now to all teachers who have struggled with us during the the years past we would like to say that we are very grateful to you for your untiring work. We shall always remember the principal, the dean of girls, and DEAR OLD TECH HIGH SCHOOL! PAULINE Bell, Class Historian.

R. Martin Wittiest Martha House Jack Camp Biggest Bluffs Lula Deese Richard King CLASS PROPHECY Is there one who has not, at one time or another, felt the desire to know the future? I. being no different in this respect from other people, felt this desire come upon me. I wandered upon a hill to be alone while I pondered over the future of my classmates and tried to fathom what was in store for us. As I sat there contemplating, I suddenly beheld a spectacle of light speeding toward me from above. The spectacle drew nearer and revealed itself to be a space ship. While I sat awe-stricken, the space ship landed nearby. There came immediately a fanfare of trumpets as a creature — who was a cross between an old person whose life had been lived and a young person whose future was just beginning — stepped out of the ship. I sat dumbfounded as this creature said to me, ' William Warren Rimmer, you have been chosen to visit the planet Futuria. There you will see yourself and your classmates in the future. The next thing I knew, we were landing upon a field. It was a kind of athletic field. When I climbed out of the ship. I saw a large sign which read, Coach Louis Fatback Kerr ' s Notre Dame Huskies will play Coach Jack Ears Price’s Georgia Tech Steam-rollers this afternoon. November 21, 1954. So Louis ' and Jack’s fine football records had netted them coaching positions in two of the country ' s top colleges. Well. I wondered, what will come next? Upon entering the city 1 saw the McIntyre Theater, owned and operated by none other than W. O. McIntyre. Starring in his great show, It Will Catch Up With You, were Richard King. Martha House, and Midgie Carnes. Richard and Martha were doing a double comedy act. They kept the audience in the aisles. (The aisles were the only way of getting to the door.) Midgie won world wide fame and praise for her rendition of Who Broke the Lock on the Hen House Door? She composed this song after having discovered that three chickens and a pound of laying mash had been stolen. After the show I went outside and found a newly wedded couple, D. R. Martin and Helen Alexander, arguing with Betty Evans, a renowned newspaper columnist, on the subject of The Antiquity of Microbes. The ever helpful Jack Camp, great artist and poem writer, helped them settle their dispute by writing a poem entitled Lines Written on the Antiquity of Microbes. The poem was as follows: Adam Had ’Em. I asked Jack why he had become an artist and a poem writer when he had studied to be a business man. He explained with another poem which read: Hired! Tired! Fired! I left him in his revery because I saw Ben Christen- bury climbing a set of stairs across the street. Ben. who was well-known because of his experiments with electrical motors, was hauling a large electrical motor to the top of a hill to see whether it would run as well on top of the hill as at the bottom He should surely become famous with the outcome of this experiment: he needed no help from me. The thought came upon me to hail an Air Bus, one of the many busses of the Air Bus Line, owned by Myrtle Kelly. Beatrice Flowe, and Dorothy King, wealthy descendants of Doris Duke Cromwell. I wasn ' t surprised at all to see Carroll York taking tokens and Bill Wheatley driving because they had always loved busses. They were very happy because when business was good they were paid well, and right now business was good. The first persons I saw on the bus were Kathryn Howie and Catherine Wright, who were the owners of a chain of Five and Ten stores. They were happily engaged in a conversation with a group of handsome movie stars, who were triyng to become acquainted with them. I turned to look at the other passengers. I saw Virginia McGinnis reprimanding four small children for kicking some passengers on the shins. She said she was happily married, and that her husband, James Taylor, was a captain in the Navy. When .1 asked about some of the other seniors, she said that Pauline Bell and Catherine Borders were spending their vacations in South America. Their secretarial work had been so strenuous that they were taking a rest. Virginia, being now at her stop, left me to ride the next block with L B. Eddins. L. B didn ' t talk much because he was busy. He had become a very wise and famous philosopher, and he was writing a philosophy which began as follows: The trouble with most folks is due not so much to their ignorance as to knowing so many things that aren’t so. I got off at the next stop to keep from showing what I didn’t know. Before me was a large waffle shop named We Cook ’Em, You Eat ' Em. owned by Doris Edwards and Sue Johnson, who were very happy because people were eating more waffles every day. While I was there, I met the famous lawyer. Bill Rimmer. who had drawn up a will for a rich financier He let me read the will after I had promised not to divulge the contents to anyone else. It read: I have nothing. I owe much, the rest I leave to the poor. Gurgling happily over the tidy sum he had received from his client. I left to go over to talk with Myrtle Sikes and Clara Bowers. Myrtle told me that she and Clara had opened an exquisite Women’s Shop, which handled the most chic clothes from Paris. Page Sixteen Then Irvin Douglas, the Genius of the Year,” walked in. He told me that his latest discovery was that Pa ' s a sap” reads the same backward as forward. I agreed that Pa was a sap either way you looked at it. Irvin is the Pa of a set of galloping quintuplets. Hearing loud voices coming from the corner, I decided to go over to see what was going on. I found Rose James, Doris Taylor, and Sara Gaither — famous movie stars from Unmount Studios — trying to guess the answer to a riddle written by Alma Simpson, who writes riddles, cross-word puzzles, and short subjects for Stay at Home and Be Happy magazine. The riddle was: What we caught we threw away: what we couldn ' t catch we kept.” We were all stumped by this brain-buster until Nancy Honeycutt, who wrote the famous murder mystery called The Glass Door Knob, told us that the answer was fleas. 1 departed, smarter than ever before, to collide with Pat Moore, the great English expert. Pat told me that he had just coined the world ' s longest word. Lepado-temacho-selach- galeo-kranio-leopcano-drim-hypotrimnaate-silphio - krabo - meloto-katakechymeno-kicke-epikossah- pho-phatto-perister- alektryon-optokep - hallio-kinglo-pepio-lagio- rari-baphe - tragano-ptery - gon. He said. Since this word means something insignificant, I am going to coin a word with a more intellectual aspect.” I left through the back door, hoping to get a meal on the house,” only to find Mary Elizabeth Conder. head of the Girl Reserves and of the Girl Scouts, confronting me. Bibbie con- vinced me that I was doing the wrong thing, so I went through the front and paid my bill. On the street Lula Deese, capable nurse, was administering first aid to a small boy who had stumped his toe. Being quite confident that she could handle the case, 1 walked on I met Tommy Conder, but he told me he was in a hurry. He said that he had just been appointed postmaster of the Monroe Post Office: I excused him as he was a busy man. As 1 passed a radio shop, I paused to listen. Wendell Sloan, the famous sports announcer, was telling of a football game that was to be played. Mount Holly was playing Indian Trail for the football championship of the Hog-Wallah League.” I was well satisfied with Wendell; he was announcing for the largest and most famous radio station in the world. Station ITER, located at Baker’s Crossing. Hearing a newsboy shouting a familiar name. I bought a newspaper to learn of the exploits of one of my classmates. The paper stated that silver- voiced Rub y Drake would appear in a benefit show. The proceeds from this show would go for the benefit of students who had become aged because of so much study and homework. As I glanced through the columns. I saw that Narietta Scott and Joyce Green ffiad opened a Lonely Hearts Club. Narietta ' s job was to look after the money, while Joyce tried to bring together lonely persons who were seeking companionship. My time was getting short, but I had to learn of two more of my classmates, Cathryn Fisher and Betty Belk. A streetcleaner told me that Betty owned a night club called the Happy Hour House,” and that Kathryn was its featured songstress. He said that three men passed out when she sang Hit Me, Jackson, and I ' ll Slap You Back.” Having missed my bus, I thumbed my way back to the field where the ship was going to pick me up. A man gave me a ride, and while I was talking with him, I learned that his name was Mr. Hooks. When I asked him if he was related to Sonny Hooks, whom Kathryn Murray married, he said, I am Sonny, and we now have three children.” Having reached the field, I thanked Mr. Hooks and boarded the plane. Suddenly, I realized that I was on the hill again. Since Technical High seniors had done very well for themselves, I hurried away to put what I had learned on paper. This prophecy will be kept for many years, and when 1954 comes around. I shall see whether these events really happen or whether I have only imagined them. BILL RlMMER, Class Prophet CLASS SONG Tune OF I’ll Walk Alone We ' re leaving you; We ' ve spent the best years of life here together. And it ' s been swell here together. But now we must go along life ' s way. We ll miss you friends. But we are seniors and now we must leave you. Please take care of our old school. It ' s been our pride down through the years. We ll always remember, wherever we are. The fun in days gone by; Football in winter. Our dates and the stars — We ll think of them, and breathe a sigh. The time has come So goodbye, friends, It’s so hard to leave you So long old Tech High School. We’re leaving thee. Betty Lou Evans.

I hey have been out on the athletic field working to develop a team since August 14. I here were some days in August that were too hot to work; but, just the same, they practiced football. CONCORD Concord was the first team to fall to Tech ' s Wolves, 19-0. In this game the fans found out what kind of football team Tech had. Richard King, a substitute guard, came across with an intercepted pass which went for a touch- down. I he team lost the use of a valuable guard in this game. Charles Corriher broke his leg in one of the plays. Leland Helms ran to the left side of his line and then ran straight up the field to score his first six points. Wheatley burred over the goal for the other six points; he also added an extra point. ROCKINGHAM The next week the team showed Charlotte fans what they could do by plastering Rockingham 33-0, Big Yank Wheatley’s 87-yard pass inter- ception touchdown being the outstanding feature of the game. The team pushed and drove down the field and Doc Martin carried the pig-skin over. Wendell Sloan threw from the twenty to Helms; this raised the count six more. The stronger 1 ech eleven forced the Rocks to punt from their end zone. Fullback Wheatley blocked this punt and covered it for another touchdown. Sloan col lected his first six points on a reverse. In this game the scrubs and subscrubs got to play. WINSTON-SALEM Lime came for the Tecbsters to take to the road again. They journeyed to the Twin City for a clash with the Hanes High team. During the first half the Hanes eleven held the Wolves, but those Tech boys got hot on two plays in the second half. Tailback Wendell Sloan carried the ball on these two plays and scored on both. Wheatley added the extra point. The score was 13-0. MORGANTON Coach Madden next took his Tech eleven to Morganton. Here they ran up against a strong team. The two teams plugged and bumped heads, neither being able to cross the goal line of the other. Late in the game the Techsters pushed close to pay dirt but were unable to score. At the end of the game the score was still 0-0. GASTONIA The Wolves were idle the next week; however they used this time in preparation for the air-minded Green Wave from Gastonia. The Techsters clashed with the Gastonia team in Memorial Stadium on October 20. Louis Kerr, our powerful tackle who later won a Shrine position, played a wonderful game. The Wolves pushed down deep into enemy territory, and Wheatley threw to Helms for a touchdown. Wheatley also added the point. Pearson fingered in a long pass and scored for Gastonia: he also scored an extra point. Late in the game Wheatley tried a field goal, but it went wide. Pearson also tried his luck and came across with a field goal. Statistics proved, however, that the Tech eleven played the better game. This is the only team that won over the Wolves. The final score was 10-7. WADESBORO The unbeaten-unscored-on Wadesboro eleven were the next to fall to Tech. Jimmy Helms, a guard, recovered a fumble over the goal line for six points. Quarterback Doc Martin came across with two touchdowns, as Page Forty-six FOOTBALL did Wheatley. However, Wheatley added these extra points to take the scor- ing honors. Three years ago the Tech eleven spoiled Wadesboro’s record as they have done again this year. The scrubs played quite extensively in this game. MOUNT HOLLY Time came for the Tech Wolves to cross the river and play the Hawks of Mount Holly. Because of a shortened first half the Techsters scored only five touchdowns. Blume intercepted a pass and ran for sixty yards to pay dirt. Doc Martin plugged across the goal twice. Tailback Wendell Sloan took the scoring honors by crossing the goal line three times. The scrubs played in this game also. The final score was 42-0. MOORESVILLE Our rugged Tech football team let those Mooresville fellows know what the goal lines were to be used for. It started early on the first kickoff when Bill (Dumb Ox) Adams recovered a fumble on the Moores’ 17-yard line. The Tech crew drove to the three, where Sloan carried it over. Wheatley added the extra point. Helms, carrying on reverses, set up the next touchdown with Wheatley carrying it over and kicking for the extra point. It was Wheatley again on a sixteen-yard gallop for six points. A pass — Sloan to Bob Martin — good for sixty-one yards put it on the Mooresville five; from there Wheatley drove it over. The Moores connected with a pass to win the honor of being the second team to score on Tech. Helms warmed up and added his six points on a one-yard reverse. Adams blocked a Mooresville punt on the eighteen, and from there sub-tailback Jack Kissiah scooted around end for score. The Mooresville crew tallied again, but there was a tough little Tech scrub, Shorty Blume, who tossed Bob Martin a pass good for six points. The Mooresville team gathered their spare parts together and went away, with the scoreboard reading: Tech, 45: Mooresville, 13. HARDING The finest and most outstanding football team ever to play for Tech put the icing on the cake by pasting Harding 32-0. Don Wheatley made the first touchdown on the fourth play of the game. The Tech Wolves started rolling again at the end of the quarter, and Helms scored on his fine running of a reverse. The half ended with the scoreboard reading: Tech. 1 2: Harding, 0. The Techsters came back in the third quarter as wingback Leland Helms caught a pass from tailback Wendell Sloan: this play was good for over half the length of the field, and we scored. In the fourth quarter Sloan intercepted a pass and carried it to the Harding two-yard line, from which point Doc Martin plugged over for 6 points. Rugged and mighty Fatback Kerr blocked a Harding punt and ran it to the 0-yard line. From here Jack Kissiah swept end for the final touchdown. The extra point was added by the brother-to- brother combination of Don Wheatley to Bill Wheatley. Eight Tech seniors wrote history as they played their last high school game at Tech. These were York and Bill Wheatley at end. Kerr and Price at tackle, Moore and King at guard, and Doc Martin and Wendell Sloan in the backfield. Tech is indeed proud of these seniors and the record they have left us. Tech also lost a fine fullback in Don Wheatley, who left for the Navy on December the 11th. He was not a senior; but Uncle Sam called and he left. All 1 1 of the 33 football players were proud of our Captain and Co- Captain for making and playing on the Shrine All-Star team. They played outstanding ball this year and we ' ll be looking forward to their names in college line-ups.
