You will find the happy moments and some of the hum-drum activities which make up the real life of a student and which will enrich your lives in years to come. I he staff has conveyed to you many campus scenes and personalities which are taken for granted now, hut with the coming years of separa- tion will be regarded with lasting appreciation.

She is an honor graduate of the class of 1940, and during her six years as a stu- dent in Tech 1 figh she made many friends and held many positions of responsibility. Her efficient work as school secretary, her spirit of kindness and helpfulness, her loyalty to our school, her friendly interest in each of us, her high ideals, and her never-ending service have earned her a place in our fondest memories of Tech. Thoughts of her have brightened our school days and will go with us as we go forth into Life.

Elmer H. Garinger University of Missouri A.B. Columbia University M.A. Columbia University Ph.D. Principal Mr. Forest T. Selby Miami University B.S. Columbia University M.A. Dean and Teacher of Geography Miss Maie Myers University of North Carolina A.B. I he School Board, the Superintendent of City Schools, and the administrative officers handle all business affairs pertaining to the school, but the superintendent is director and manager of educational policies. Dr. Elmer H. Garinger has been our capable superintendent since 1945, succeeding Mr. H. P. Harding, who is now Superintendent Emeritus. Dr. Garinger came to . Charlotte in 1921 from Mount Vernon, Missouri, and was the principal of Central High School until he became superintendent. Mr. Selby is the ax ' is of Tech High School around which the life of the teachers and pupils revolves. In his twenty-six years of service here his character and strength have worked their way to the hearts of the students and faculty of Tech High and of the community. Mr. Selby came to Charlotte from Durham, N. C., and succeeded Mr. H. K. Moore, who was principal during the first four years of our school. To one who has served loyally and faithfully, the students of Tech High School wish to pay particular tribute on the anniversary of her thirtieth year. Appointed to teach the fourth grade, Miss Myers became associated with our school in the fall of 1922. From 1924 to 1934, she was teacher of the part time class; from 1934 to the present time, she has served as adviser to the seventh and eighth grades in addition to her teaching duties. In 1940, the Board of School M O O O Commissioners appointed Miss Myers to be Dean of Girls. Mr. H. P. Harding, Superintendent Emeritus of the Charlotte City Schools, expressed the feeling of the Board in his letter of ap- pointment, “We all appreciate the fine service that you have given Tech High School, and we i are very glad that this honor has been conferred upon you by the School Board.” Tech High is proud to have Miss Myers as Dean of Girls and appreciates her years of unselfish service to the school and community.

You ve been an inspiration To each and every one. There are memories to cherish As our final year is done. We shall ne’er forget “blue Mondays Or those everlasting tests. o Sitting through a dreary class. When what we craved was rest. Well remember all the hours We have spent within your halls, And the many loyal friends We have made inside your w alls. And in our reminiscing We ll include our teachers dear, Who have worked with us so patiently Through each and every year. I hen, as we go to meet the future This bright world holds for us, o We’ll remember ole Tech High School Where we put our faith and trust. Dear Alma Mater, to you we say So long,” but not “goodbye, For we ll be back from time to time To look on as passers-by. Pat Freeman and Martha Stogner, Class Poets Page Twenty-two S E n 1 0 R PROPHECY WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT?? It has been a long time since the class of 1952 graduated from Technical High School. Tonight as we meet for a reunion after 1 5 years, we notice with interests each mem- ber of the class as he enters. Our hearts swell with pride as we note our former classmates, men and women who have become successful and who have contributed so greatly to the rebuilding of the world physically, morally, and spiritually. May we present them to you as they appear here tonight: The first ones to enter are Harold Hall, Alfred Bullard, and Don Light with their pianist, Mary Jo Warren, who recently was graduated from Queens, where she majored in music. They came down from New York, where their hand appears nightly at the Blue Barn. With them is Shirley Clark, who is billed with the hand as “The Star- light Voice.” Sarah Huneycutt is Shirley’s business man- ager. Here are the “North Carolina Sweethearts,” Barbara Comiskey, Doris Helms, and Faye Smith, who have a show on TV with Arthur Godfrey. You didn ' t know we had that much talent in our class, did you? As we look up, whom do we see but Clifford Torrence? After a second we learned that he had taken over Powers’ Modeling Agency in New York. We were happy to learn that Patsy Collins, Clayton Selvey, Pat Southerland (when she isn ' t looking after her kids), and Bobby Upchurch were among the agency’s top-ranking clothes horses. Here is Martha Stogner, who is teaching a charm school for models. She and Clifford are in business together. Squeezing through the door all at the same time are Carolyn Conder, joe Phifer, and Ralph Simpson. You know something? They haven’t changed a bit. They’re the same nuts that we knew back in high school. Oh, yes, we forgot to mention that they have taken Bud Abbott and Lou Costello’s places in the movies. Their current hit is “We Could Be Worse.” T he dignified people who are trying to enter the room behind the “nuts” are Marvin Bass and Richard Wrenn. They are competing against each other for the position of dogcatcher in Dogpatch. Behind them are Frankie Current and Jimmy Lowery with their secretaries. They are both third vice-presidents of two of the smallest businesses in Belmont, and who could be their private secretaries but Billie Johnson and Jo Ann Lockey? Their wives think their secretaries are men fBillie and Joe). Here are several of the girls who have risen to top-ranking positions in business without the aid of men. That’s right, you guessed them correctly when you said, “Mary Chance, Mary Blackmon, Pauline Smith, and Peggy Baker.” They spend all of their spare time with their husbands and children. Can they spare it? As we continue our interviews, we are interrupted by the sound of running feet. Yes, it ' s Grady Faulk, who is now coaching at Wake Forest. With him are some of his old teammates who are still interested in athletics and trying to get in shape. (You should see their shapes!) Among these are Doug Dellinger and Wayne Shoemaker, who are playing football with the Washington Redskins. The reason they are playing is that they own 99% of the outfit. Alfred Suddreth, Robert Sweet, and Bill Hooks are playing baseball with the Boston Red Sox. They signed contracts to play for $5.00 a game, but we are wondering how one team can put up with the antics of all three and still be willing to pay them. Larry Tucker has been coach- ing up in Hill, N. C., a bump iir the road. Larry only coaches one student, the lady gym teacher. Ed Keesler, who was just recently appointed as the head coach of the Optimist Club, finally got “married up” with Sgt. Black ' s daughter. Now that the athletics have settled down we can move on to someone else. You probably already know that Jimmy Ward and Gene Helms are the editors of “Life Magazine.” They also own two small newspapers in Gharlotte. Their paper carries both of Louise Lowder’s grocery ads each month. Louise is now owner of the L L Super Market. Every once in a while you will notice a picture of Jerry Ard divorcing a wife. Since he has signed with Paramount Pictures, he has married five times. Now and then the Lllser Cola Co. runs a picture of Pat Freeman, who took Faye Emerson’s place on TV, and who is the mother of five hoys. On Sunday the paper carries a story of the work of Richard Hartsell, who is now a well-to-do minister working with the Salvation Army. Molly McCoy is his assistant on his world tours. Among the theater advertisements you will note that Joyce Williams is the sole owner of two of the most beautiful ones in this community. Peggy Smith, who is with the opera (the Grand Ole Oprey) is starring at the Joyce theater this week. When we look at the sports page we see where Jean Felgar and Janice Pridgen will compete for the title of “Woman Champion of Stock-car Racing.’ (How ' bout that?) All in all we think their newspaper would be great if they would not give Peggy Howie that by-line on the back page every year. Harold Polk tells us that if he doesn’t get more business he and his secretary, Patsy Griffin, will be looking for work. He is now a professional photographer who shoots for “Look Peep Magazines.” Shirley Williams is one of his best models. Pegoy McNinch’s business is picking up every day. She now has her own reducing salon. Her motto is “Eat today, reduce tomorrow.” She rents her back vard to Jerry Isenhour, who has started a class of Midget Twirlers. Next door to Peggy’s business are two huge machine shops. We learned from Ralph Wilson that he and Craven Foster are the owners. Mr. Hintz has just been promoted to foreman. They have five of our class- mates in their businesses. There is Jean Tadlock” Hooks, the most versatile girl in our class, who wrote a book telling of her accomplishments. Patsy Smith is the one who runs the business and keeps the rest out of trouble. Three of the best machinists are Bill Brown, Billy Hill, and Marvin Kiker. They take vacations every two days. The Y.W.C.A. down in the next block is a very lively place since James White, a very prominent man over in North Charlotte, became manager. He hangs around Jimmy Dellinger’s used car lot most of the time. Julia Ross took over the coaching position at Tech when Miss McIntyre went to Morganton to reside. Pat Thorn- burg is Julia’s assistant. Carolyn Cooke, the first of our class to marry, is teaching a marriage course at Tech. Martha White recently took over Mr. Goins ' job of watch- ing the “sleeping beauties.” Martha Stegall is teaching the “hunt and peck system to her students. Joan Felts and Dickie Ballard just arrived. Joan came in from Hawaii, where she is modeling grass skirts. Dickie got a leave from the Navy after 14 years. Here is Kav Dermody just as we thought she would be. We weren ' t quite sure her pony would make it all the way from Texas, where she is training roping horses. Since we have interviewed all of our classmates for you, we will return to Hollywood. We know that after several hours of fun and reminiscence each will return to his post in life. He will carry with him refreshed memories of the happy days which he spent at Tech High School.

GRADUATING CLASS OF 1951 Page Thirty JUniOR-SEDIOR B R n Q U E T IT WASN ' T ALL WORK! 1 UK: OUR DIGNIFIED TEACHERS!” Page Thirty-one CLRSS HISTORY “HOW ’BOUT THAT” On a bright sunny morning in September, 1946, we began our experiences at Tech High School. As we heard Mr. Selbv direct us to our places, our hearts beat with excitement for we could imagine the many opportunities and activ- ities which lav in the future and the many happy times which we were going to have to- gether. During the first few days we felt lost because we were in a strange place, but in only a short time we were acquainted with the school and the other students who were here. We were just beginning to know the joy of high school and of having many teachers instead of only one or two. The next year we were not so bashful and not nearly so backward as we were in the seventh grade. We had a good feeling inside when we realized that we were gradually moving to the time when we would be Seniors. Freshmen! We were made happy by the very thought that we were at last taking part in the Senior I ligh activities. During our Sophomore vear our capable advisers were Mrs. Mock, Miss S f arnes, and Miss Hinson. We elected as our officers: Pat Freeman, President; Martha Stogner, Vice-President; Louise Lowder, Secretary; and |oyce Williams, Treasurer. We then advanced into our Junior year. I hat vear our advisers were Miss Clegg, Miss Kittles, and Mr. I Iintz. We knew that there would he a lot of work to do, but we were willing to do our best. For our class officers we elected Clifford I orrence, President; Doris Helms, Vice-Presi- dent; fames White, Treasurer; and Mary Jo Warren, Secretary. We gave a play called “The Mountain I louse Mystery, which was a big success. 1 hose taking part were Joyce Williams, Kav Dermody, Julia Ross, Clayton Selvey, Sue Nell Mullis, Craven Foster, Pat Freeman, James White, Patsv Griffin, Larry I ucker, Richard I Tartsell, and Martha Stogner. Besides giving the play, we did many other things to finance the Junior-Senior Banquet, such as selling waste paper and coat hangers. We worked real hard in planning and financing the banquet, which was held at the Policemen’s Club at Morris Field. We used the Senior colors, red and white, and the class flower, the red rose, in the decorations. After the banquet we had a dance with Neil Griffin’s band furnishing the music. Later Neil Biggs took pictures of the banquet table and of many individual groups. We elected Peggy I lowie as editor of the Howler, and to be her very able assistant we elected Ray Yandle. For the editor of the 1 echnique, we chose Kav Dermody, who was to he in charge of publishing the annual. Mart in Bass was elected as associate editor and was put in charge of the subscription committee. James White was elected to the job of business manager and was to be the chairman of the advertising committee. At last we have reached the time when we are Seniors! We have looked forward to this year for a long time, yet we are sorry to see our many happy times coming to an end. For officers this year we elected Clifford Torrence, President; Grady Faulk, Vice-President; Louise Lowder, Secretary; and Mary Jo Warren, Treasurer. We were soon to find out that our Senior vear was not going to be easy. We have had to bear down on ourselves in order that we could get our main wish, to graduate. For our advisers this year we have had Miss Clegg, Miss Kennedy, and Mr. Goins. We put on a black-face minstrel to help finance the annual. Then we’ve been always busy making plans for graduation. This has been a very hard vear, but we can look back with pleas- ure upon the parties, plays, and the many other activities which have provided such wonderful times for us. Now the time has come when we must leave. So to you, Tech, we say, “Goodbye, and thanks for the best years of our lives. We, the graduating class of 1952, would like to thank Mr. Selby, Miss Myers, the faculty, and our wonderful advisers for the many happy times you have allowed us and for the many fine things you have done for us.

The Wolves, handicapped by inexperienced men and carrying a lot of injuries, could not muster the T.D. punch that paired wi th a conversion would have given them a win over the favored Cats I he Wolves did play a good defensive game, how- ever, giving up only six points to the traditional rivals from Sugar Creek. Big rocks in the forward wall were Sh oemaker, Wilson, Faulk, Suddreth, and Horne. HARDING On the next Friday things went from bad to “worstest.” 1 he Wolves took on the Harding Rams, our bitter rivals, at Memorial Stadium and came out on the short end of a 22-2 score. Although the score is pretty big, it does not tell the true story. The Rams had a hard time making gains through our line and were often thrown for big losses. On such an occasion Gene Horne tackled the Ram quarterback, who was carrying the ball, in the Harding end zone and scored 2 points for Tech. It was a hard fought, hard won game and the Wolves scrapped the Rams all the way. Standouts for Tech were Wilson, Suddreth, Shoemaker and Faulk in the I ine, while I lorton and Helms were the main mail carriers. CONCORD In their first out-of-town game of the season, the Pack sojourned over to Concord in our favorite bus (the Blue Beetle, natcherly) to duel the Spiders. Tech showed up much better offensively, with Horton, Carter, Moser, Ard, and Dellinger carrying the mail. Maxie Moser scored the T.D. for Tech and Grady Faulk kicked the conversion. But it seemed that it was all in vain, for Concord ran up 18 points while Tech was running up 7. Whooping it up on the line were Horne, Shoemaker, Wilson, and Faulk. OAK RIDGE Boom! The T.O.A. (Tired on Arrival) Wolves journeyed to Oak Ridge only to receive a 71-0 trouncing at the hands of the biggest, fastest, and roughest football team in Tennessee. Alton Butler, getting his first start- ing assignment, was the outstanding Techster. GASTONIA On Friday, September 28, Tech travelled across the Catawba River to meet the Gastonia Green Waves. With Dellinger, Carter, Moser, Horton, and Ard carry- ing the mail. Tech showed more offense in this game, but could put across only one T.D. while the Green Waves were putting across four. The final score was 26-6. On the 1 ine the outstanding players were Wilson, Shoemaker, Suddreth, Faulk, and House. RALEIGH At Memorial Stadium on the next Friday, the Wolves dueled the Capitols from Raleigh. In an offensive battle the Wolves got the short end of a 33-14 score. But Tech put up a good fight and Scott Ray, back in action after early injuries, was a big factor for Tech. Gene Horne snagped a pass thrown by Parks Helms for one T.D. while Helms sneaked across the othe r Grady Faulk’s two conversions split the uprights. Stand- outs were Wilson, Shoemaker, Faulk, and Suddreth. ROCKY MOUNT Against the supposedly six T.D. favorite, Rocky Mount, Tech pulled some slick tricks and nearly tripped the heavily favored Blackbirds. Showing considerable improvement in running and passing, the Wolves led the Blackbirds for part of the game. A game-winning pass from Gene Horne to Scott Ray was inches out of Ray s hands. The Wolves turned in their best game so far in the season against Rocky Mount. Both teams fought hard and the game could have gone either way at any time. Some of the most hard rackin ' of the hard rack n ' Wolves were Butler, Wilson, Shoemaker, Faulk, Horne, Fennell, and Suddreth. HANES-WINSTON-SALEM Tech’s next encounter was at Winston-Salem, where they struggled with the favored Hanes team to a hard- foug ht draw. This was a defensive game, with neither team able to muster a sustained T.D. drive. Tech’s hopes rose one time, though, when Grady Faulk at- tempted a 40-yard field goal. Had the kick carried 6 inches farther and higher Tech would have taken the game, but as it was the game ended with no score for either team. All of the boys played a good game. REIDSVILLE Tech’s Homecoming was fine except for one major detail. Tech lost to Reidsville 13 to 6. A small crowd of loyal Techsters shivered through the game, which was surprisingly tight. Tech’s defense was especially rugged that night, with outstanding tackles by Butler, Ard, Shoemaker, House, and Wilson. The Wolves put up a great battle from start to finish, but could not stop the big Reidsville team from pushing two touch- downs across. The outstanding run of the game was the second half kick-off return by Doug Dellinger. He carried the mail 63 yards, down to the Reidsville 10-yard line. GRAY-WINSTON-SALEM The Wolves played host to the twin city boys of Gray on Thursday, November 8, in a rockin’, sockin’, exhibition of real football. Tech took an early lead when Alton Butler intercepted a Gray pass and scooted 35 yards to pay dirt. Tech’s biggest offensive gun was Doug Dellinger, who registered the largest rushing gains, but in the third quarter while returning a punt he received neck injuries which put him out of the game. The Pack scrapped and fought hard, but all to no avail, for Gray pushed across 21 points to the Wolves’ 6. Standouts for Tech were Wilson, Faulk, Horne, and Shoemaker on the line. MOUNT AIRY It was cold on November 16, and the football field at Mount Airy was dank and muddy. So muddy, in fact, that the teams could not put up much offense. It was mostly a punting duel and on o ne occasion a Mount Airy player broke through and blocked Grady Faulk’s punt in the end zone. Mount Airy took the game by the 2 points scored on this safety. Probably the most outstanding player was Charles House, but right up there with him were Shoemaker, Wilson, Suddreth, and Faulk.
