In 1922, through the interest of a group of people living in this community, Belmont Vocational School was lauilt, it was opened in Septemlaer of that same year. Originally the school had only elementary and junior high grades, with Harry K. Moore serving as principal. Later, as grades from the elementary school were moved away, senior high grades were added. The first graduating class was that of 1926, which had only eight graduates. 1 s 1 The year of 1926-27 brought a new principal, Forest T. Selhy, and the school's name was changed to Charlotte Technical High School. ' ' 1 There was only one huilding in the heginning. The woodshop was added in 1927 and eight years later the N. C. Burns Building was built. The gymnasium was erected in 1937. In this age of scientific advancement skilled technicians are needed more than ever laefore, and Tech faces the future with the confidence that her graduates, trained in these skills, will do their part to carry on the worh of the world.

Klum' Seven years ago, in September 1941, we started our class at Tech. We all had a new feeling of importance as we became students in this lar e, strangely different school. One of the biggest events of the year for the girls occurred when tfie Girl Reserves went to camp. This was a new experience for many of us. One of the favorite subjects of every member of the class was gym, a period of relaxation to which everyone looked forward. On December 8, we were all astounded by the entrance of the United States into the war.s,We all wondered what the future held for us. In September 1942 we entered the eighth grade after having spent a restful summer. The school seemed more familiar to us, and we liked it even better than before. The boys took shop while the irls were absorbed in home economics. We appreciated the fact that student representatives could take a part in such important organizations as the Student Council. In September 1943 we entered the ninth grade and were beginning to feel like regular high school students. Everyone agreed that the research theme which we ,had to write for English was one of the hardest assignments we had ever had. One of our most interesting subjects, and one which was very unusual to us, was biology. Another new subject which many students took was algebra. In September 1944 we entered the tenth grade. At last we were in senior high school! The members of the class chose the courses which they wished to take. We appreciated the many educational opportunities that we had. One of the most challenging subjects that many students took was typing. We were all mystified by the magic black keys. Meanwhile, the students taking the college preparatory course were absorbed in Latin. In September 1945 we became Juniors, thereby making up one of the most important groups in the school. Our class officers were: President, Curtis Kenningtong Vice-President, Jimmy Wisdom, Secretary, Ionsie Hannong Treasurer, Pete Cruse. Our subjects were becoming more difficult. Some students struggled through first year short- hand, while others were deep in the study of geometry and second year Latin. The junior play, The Improper Henry Proper, was a wonderful success. It was a comedy, and the members of the cast portrayed their parts very well. This play revealed the fact that there were many talented students in the Junior Class. One of the most important events of the year was the junior-Senior Banquet. A unique colonial theme was carried out in the decorations and entertainment. This event was enjoyed by everyone who attended. One of the most interesting proiects that the business students undertook was the publishing of the Iunior issue of The Howler. the school paper. Many of the students worked very hard on this issue, and the finished product proved that their work had been worthwhile. A Iunior-Senior partv was held at the river just before the end of school. Everyone had a won- derful time, and we realized that we would miss the members of the outgoing Senior Class. The Iunior Class of '46 owed its success largely to the capable leadership of the Iunior Class advisers, Miss Gandy and Miss Higgins. They worked very hard to make our junior year one of the most outstanding years in our school life. In September 1946 seventy students advanced to the pedestal occupied by the Senior Class. We had some very capable officers. They were: President, Gerald Blumeg Vice-President, Curtis Kenningtong Secretary, Shirley Blackg Treasurer, Ed Nuzum. Eight members of the Senior Class were war veterans who returned to finish their education. We are all proud of these boys and should like to express our appreciation to them for a job well done. This was a red-letter year because it was the twenty-fifth anniversary of Tech High School. The Class of 1947 was very honored to have the privilege of celebrating the Silver Anniversary of the educational institution that has played such a vital part in the lives of so many people. The members of the Senior Class participated in many school organizations. There were eight seniors in the Honor Societv. Two seniors who held offices in this organization were Evelyn I-Iollars, President, and Inez Torrence, Vice-President. The Seniors were very active in the Student Council. Two seniors who held offices were Loretta Freeman, President, and Curtis Kennington, Vice-President. No one can ever forget the wonderful times that we members of the Class of '47 have had together throughout our high school days. We, the members of the Senior Class. should like to express our gratitude to our Senior Class advisers. Mrs. Shea and Miss Hinson. for their guidance and cooperation, which have helped to lnnake this the most successful year of our school life. They shall always occupy a place in our earts. We should like to express our appreciation to the faculty of Tech for their patience and guidance, which have prepared us to lead successful lives.

Although the airport of which I am a part owner isn't the biggest one in the world Cit consists of only two airplanes, a five hundred foot runway, and a converted barn for a hangarD, it serves its purpose very well. The other day when business wasn't at its best, I decided to take a cruise around the country to see if I couldn't look up some of my old classmates. Leaving the Held in charge of my partner and lifelong companion, Cecil Sloan, I took off to see what I could see. I headed straight for Charlotte, and as I flew over the beautiful city, I noticed a great neon sign which read Skialmore's Electric Repair and Appliance Company. It looked as if Ray was doing all right for himself. I proceeded to land on the Tech High athletic field, and as I stepped from my ship who should greet me but Evelyn Hollars, the school secretary! Her great speed in typing had landed her that wonderful job. Leaving my airplane behind, I took a little walk toward the corner. When I got there. I discovered the cafe had changed owners. Emadean Helms, Shirley Black, and Martha lean Shaw were now the proud proprietors. Next to the cafe Ralph Adkins and Gerald Blume had built a recreation center complete with pool tables and piccolo. Imagine my surprise when I stepped on the Belmont bus and found Cecil Bryant driving it! He told me he was going to organize a bus line of his own in the verv near future. I left the bus at the square and walked straight into Officer Bobby Reid. Bobby was now a cop, and he seemed to have the situation well in hand. I strolled on down Trade Street to the Post Office, and iust as I walked past the driveway, P. Conder and Clifford Correll came speeding out in a brand new mail truck. A little farther down the street from the Post Ofiice a new building was being con- structed, with Sue Sykes in charge of the interior decorating. Since this was the rush hour, it looked as though I might have to wait indefinitely for a busg however, at this point Bill Wentz came up in a big Cadillac and offered to take me back to the school. Bill informed me that lonsie Hannon, loanna Hopkins, and lean Parker were opera- ting a super beauty salon, while Bay Miller was a big time lawyer and Pete Cruise was the city's best veterinarian. lerry Oates. Bill added, now operated the Parkwood Phar- macy. Louise Horne had her hands Full with three very cute children. lust as we reached the school. Bill informed me that there was a big golf tournament going on at Myers Park, and Morris Brackett Ca prol was competing for top money. I was sorry I didn't have time to see him play, but it was time for me to be leaving if I wanted to see the rest of my old friends. I decided my next stop should be Washington. I wanted to stop over there to see Senator Herman Bailes, who was using his inHuence in trying to repeal the law which let women vote. Congressman Howard Moore, his most ardent opponent, wanted to let the children vote. My airplane had iust come to a stop when I saw Airline Hostess Loretta Freeman stepping off a Stratoliner. Inviting her to have dinner with me, Herman and Howard, who seemed to be on wood terms with each other when they were away from Con- gress, I took her to the famous Cafe Staryelloff, owned by none other than Velda Ceer. It was time to leave again and this time my destination was New York. Making a quick trip, I arrived there iust before sundown. Before long I found myself on Broad- way gaping at the bright lights and heavy trafhc. I really don't think anyone would have believed me if I had told him that Bill Hubbard was now a great Broadway producer, but it was the truth. He was now producing a drama which starred Carl Dunn and Patsy Horton in a play that was sure to run for two years. lust down the street from Billis oHice was the Trammell Art Academy, operated by Mary .lo Tram- mell.

I had no troublc in etting a room in one of New York's most exclusive hotels, the Ritz-Carltow, owned and o erated by Jimmy Wisdom. The next morning I picked the early edition of the New work Daily Reflector, edited by Kathleen Martin. The headlines read Dillon Helms, Wall Street Tycoon, Buys Up All Available Stock in Western Oil Company. It was time to leave again, and this time I set my course for Detroit. People in the automobile city had been amazed when Lee Roy Biggerstaff revolutionized the auto world with a vehicle that was a cross between a car, a motorcycle, a bicycle, and a roller skate. Lee Boy had built up quite a business. Boy Fowler was the head of the biggest union there and he and Lee Boy were usually squabbling about something. Doris Brock, Evelyn Bullock, and Dot Kinzy were co-owners o a very up-to-date department store which was right in downtown Detroit. It was time to leave again and this time I really had a trip before me, for I was heading for San Francisco. I made the trip without too much bad luck, having only two forced landings and coming down both times among friends. The first. time, I landed in a bi cow pasture, which I discovered to be a part of Bost's Dairy Farm, owned by Bobgy Bost. Accepting Bobby's hospitality for the night, I was able to get my plane into fiying condition for an early morning take-off. I had been flying only about six hours when my engine quit again. This time I came down on a rest camp operated by Dr. Bill Craddock. His resort took care of people who needed a rest from overwork. Louise Huneycutt, one of his most affluent patients and the owner of a large cattle ranch, was there. So was David Hoffman, who was overworked from try- ing to get out of work. His oil wells in Oklahoma supported him. I finally made it to San Francisco without any more bad luck. The fruit business was booming and Curtis Kennington was albig time operator in it. Betty True Thomas, Mary Sue Strickland, and 'lonell Current had a very nice model business built up. Doris Williamson had made quite a name for herself as a writer. She was now working on a book called Easy Lexicography for the Hamssed Senior. Inez Torrence and Elizabeth Misenheimer were operating a private school, which had an enrollment of live hundred. Cornelia Aimar had a fifteen minute gossip pro ram on the radio. Cornelia wasn't the only one of our class on the radio, though. Evefyn Welborn, Sarah Kennerly, and Hilda Fisher had a quiz show together every week. I had to leave again, and this time I took off for Alaska. I had heard that several of my classmates had built up a settlement in the new frontier. I landed in a place called Yrtnuoc Dloc Cwhich, when spelled backward, is Cold CountryD.'Howard Hayes was the leader in this quaint little place. The people there were making a fortune off the many new industries which had sprung up. Maydean McKinney and Betty Ritchie were kept quite busy in their tannery, where they tanned the hides of the wild animals that trapper James Horne brought in. The Cay Lad ,H a high class night club owned by Marilyn Berryhill and Peggy Kelly, did a lot of business on weekends, when all the miners came to town. lohn Brown, who had been especially successful in Alaska, owned three gold mines and a steamship company. Mildred jones and Gloria Staton had a very profitable seal farm, where they sold the carcasses for meat and made coats out of the skins. I was amazed to learn from them that if it were not for the cannery which Edith Newell and Elsie Thomas operated, the people there would starve during the winter season. After seeing all of this I took off for home. Ten years have done a lot for the Seniors of 47.'i Some have gained great wealth, and all of them have achieved untold happiness. .

In our second game we took a 13-5 beating from Newton, but after that game it seemed as if the team took a new outlook and we gathered in enough spirit to carry us through the rest of the season with only one other defeat, which was at the hands of Cherryville-a loss that was a heartbreaker for Herman Bailes as he pitched his best game of the year. Later in the season we came back to beat both Newton and Cherryville by the scores of 14-2 and 9-2 respec- tively. We ended the season with one of the best records Tech's baseball team has ever had, with nineteen wins and two losses. ln the city games with Central and Harding we had one of the best seasons in the history of Tech, as we swept through the series undefeated by beating Central three and Harding two games. The pitching of Glenn Hopkins and Herman Bailes was the really outstanding feature of the series with Hopkins handing Central their three defeats and Bailes giving Harding the same treatment in their two games. Much of our success came by the leadership of our captain, Bill Stegall. We had two veterans on the squad-Glenn Hopkins, who did a fine job of pitching and playing short- stop, and Howard Moore, who led the team with an enviable hitting record and who also took the city batting crown with a batting average of 530. Herman Bailes was by far the leading pitcher of the city, with a good record of twelve wins and two losses. Howard Moore was chosen by the team as the outstanding player of the year and Bill Wentz was elected to captain the 1947 team.

The 1946 football season of Technical High School is one of which we are justly proud. The loyal support of the Tech High faculty, cheerleaders, stu- dents, and community was greatly appreciated. NEWTON-CONOVER Tech High opened its official 1946 football season on September 13, with a thrilling loss to the Newton-Conover Red Devils by the score 7-6. Jarvis King passed to Clifford Correll for 45 yards and a touchdown. Ralph Adkins, Tech's triple-threat tailback, plunged over for the extra point, but an offside penalty on the play cost the Tech High eleven the opening game of the 1946 season. N. C. S. D. The Tech High VVolves were held to a 0-O tie by the N. C. S. D. Bears. The game was a thriller to Watch, with the Tech eleven staying in their opponents' territory throughout the game. Pete Cruse stole the show with his high stepping and speedy Iunnlng. HANES HIGH CWINSTON-SALEMD Yes, another scoreless tie. Another penalty cost the up-and-coming Tech eleven their third game of the year. Small but flashy lack Auten took the ball all the way from his 48 to Hanes' three, where Ralph Adkins bucked over, only to be thrown back by an off-side penalty. Chunk Helms and John Hopkins stood out on the line play, with lack Auten and Ralph Adkins doing the carrying. HICKORY Tech High School really gave the Hickory eleven a big scare. The outweighed Tech team did an excellent iob of accurate timing and hard playing to overcome a seven point lead which the Hickory eleven had made on the first two downs of the game. Gerald Blume came right back and scored, but the Hickory boys scored again to make it 13-6. The Tech High team-out scored, but not out played-began to weaken and fell to a 27-13 defeat. Morris Brackett, Jimmy Helms, and Captain Bobby Reid played well in the Tech line, with King, Cruse, Blume, and Adkins taking the backfield honors. RUTHERFORDTON CCENTRALD The Tech High Wolves ran over Central High of Rutherfordton for their first win of the season. The second stringers, led by Jarvis King, Joe Lassiter, Ray Skidmore, and Pete Gruse, played most of the game with the varsity boys running in and out of the game. Ed Nuzum, George House, and Frank Litaker were outstanding in the line. Ralph Adkins scored two touchdowns, with House, Blume, Auten, and Emest Helms each scoring one. Tech High made twenty-eight first downs to Central's five. Tech took this game by the score of 39-O. LINGOLNTON Again out scored, but not out played, the Tech High School football team lost a thriller by the score 7-6. The brilliant passing of Ralph Adkins and larvis King set up the touchdown. Ralph Adkins drove over from the three yardline. The Tech line, outweighed approximately fifteen pounds to the man, held the smooth running attack of Lincolnton. Ernest Helms, Iohn Hopkins, and Morris Brackett played star roles in the line. FOREST CITY The Wolfpack turned in its first upset of the year when Tech defeated the highly rated Forest City eleven by the score 20-6. The Tech High team showed its skill by taking the ball over on the first five plays of the game. Allen Locke, Gerald Blume, and Ralph Adkins, each scoring one touchdown apiece, carried the bulk of the attack. Floyd Austin, john Conder, and Chunk Helms were the outstanding men in the line. Page Sixty-eight LENOIR Tech High School's passing proved too much for the fast ste ping Lenoir team for the first three quarters. Tech, leading by 6-0, had a kick blocked? on their own twenty- one, with a Lenoir man recovering. Later the Bearcats scored and kicked the extra int, winning the ame by the score of 7-6. Joe Lassiter, Ernest Helms, and Allen Loocke shined on deinse, while Pete Gruse, Gerald Blume, and Ralph Adkins stood out on offense. BELMONT The stellar playing of the Tech High Wolves gave them their third win of the season by the score of 27-O. Joe Lassiter and Pete Cruse, two boys from the second eleven who saw plenty of action during the past season, stole the show with their long runs and pass-receiving ability. Jarvis Kin , Ralph Adkins, Gerald Blume, and Pete Gruse scored six points each with Herbert Thillips, Tech's extra point specialist, adding three more one-pointers to his credit. HENDERSONVILLE 5 I The Tech High Wolves journeyed to the mountains to ive their op onents a 34-0 defeat. ln this game came the play of the year. Ralph A kins slippe around right end for thirty yards, and 'ust as he was about to be tackled he lateralled to John Hop- kins, who danced along tfle sideline for ten yards and then lateralled to Gerald Blume, who eluded two tacklers for the touchdown. This play covered 93 yards. Everyone on the team played in this game. Ralph Adkins scored three touchdowns, Gerald Blume scored two, and Jarvis King scored one. Herbert Phillips came through to add four out of five tries to his credit. HARDING A proximatel seven thousand fans attended the annual Tech-Harding game. The highlfy favored Rams had to play heads up ball all the Way to hand the Tech High Wolves the 18-0 defeat. Doing a bit of everything well, the Wolves passed and ran their way to the Rams' three in the second and fourth periods-only to lose the ball on downs. All the way the Tech High team played outstanding ball with no one person taking the honors. All the boys played against the Rams with Chunk Helms, Morris Brackett, John Hopkins, and Jack Auten being outstanding on the defense, while Ralph Adkins, Jarvis King, and Gerald Blume shared the ball carrying. LENOIR On November the 27th Tech and Lenoir met for the second time this season. With the season over, the two teams went into the game evenly matched in Wei ht and in determination to win. The purpose of this game was to raise funds to gbuy band uniforms for the Tech Band. . Lenoir kicked to Tech back on the twenty-one yard line. Gerald Blume and Jack Auten took cracks at the center of the Lenoir line, picking up thirty-five yards, then Ralph Adkins drove off tackle for the touchdown. Gerald Blume scored on a drive from Tech's 40 iust before the half ended. Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Tech's second stringers gave Lenoir a walloping during the final stanza. Jarvis King, better known as Little Left Hander, tossed a pass to Ernest Helms, and the Tech quarterback was on his way. Ernest Helms exhibited the best run of the night as he wormed his way through Lenoir tacklers for a brilliant 63-yard run and the final Tech score. The entire Tech line turned in a fine performance, with John Hopkins, center, and Chunk Helms, guard, the most outstanding. Bob Reid turned in his stellar job at end, and second stringers Litaker, House, and Wentz performed creditable work in the line.
