China Grove High School - Parrot Yearbook (China Grove, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1958 volume:

The Parrot AUTUMN A cold, gray day, a lowering sky, A lonesome pigeon wheeling by; The soft, blue smoke that hangs and fades, The shivering crane that flaps and wades; Dead leaves that, whispering, quit their tree, The peace the river sings to me; The chill aloofness of the Fall— I love it all! WINTER A sheet of ice, the ring of steel, The crunch of snow beneath the heel; Loud, jingling bells, the straw-lined sleigh, A restless pair that prance and neigh; The early coming of the night, Red glowing logs, a shaded light; The firelit realm of books is mine— Oh, Winter’s fine! SPRING The joys of living wreathe my face, My heart keeps time to freshet’s race; Of balmy airs I drink my fill . . . Why, there’s a yellow daffodil! Along the stream a soft green tinge Gives hint of feathery willow fringe; Methinks I heard a Robin’s Cheer” . . I’m glad Spring’s here! SUMMER An afternoon of buzzing flies, Heat waves that sear, and quivering rise; The long white road, the plodding team, The deep, cool grass in which to dream; The distant cawing of the crows, Tall, waving grain, long orchard rows; The peaceful cattle in the stream . . . Midsummer’s dream!

On August 28, 1954, 112 eager, but somewhat frightened, boys and girls began our high school career. After a few weeks of settling down, we elected Johnny Overcash president of our class. It wasn’t long until we had learned the routine of high school and were really enjoying ourselves. We began our sophomore year with 109 members. We elected Cecil Irvin president. This was not a very eventful year but when our junior year rolled around, things really began to happen. Under the leadership of our president, Gene McCorkle, and our ad¬ visors, Mrs. Chambers, Mrs. Ethel Bostian, and Mrs. Thelma Bostian, we sponsored a magazine sale, a Halloween Carnival, and a wonderful Junior-Senior Banquet at Hotel Concord. Although our first three years were very exciting, our most enjoyable year was our senior year. We began with 71 former students and as the year progressed, we gained three new members, Frances Shell, Sandra Wise Harris, and John Rudisill. After electing Bobby Fain president of the class, we turned our attention to the Washington trip in April. As we embark on life’s uncertain trails, we shall always remember the happy days spent at China Grove High School. JOHNNY OVERCASH Historian Prophecy Yesterday evening as I sat down to do my homework I had a very strange feeling as though I were in a daze. I suddenly found myself transported into the future to the year 1975. It seemed that in the last fifteen years BLAYNE MORGAN, a noted scien¬ tist, had greatly perfected space travel to the extent that most of the earth people were now living on the planets. It seemed that I was just getting on a space ship to go to the moon when I noticed that the pilots were JAMES DRYE and WAYNE WILSON, and the two beautiful hostesses, JUDY FISHER and PEGGY RITCHIE, helped to keep all of the passengers comfortable. During the trip the man sitting beside me moved up front to talk to the pilots, so I picked up the newspaper which he had been reading and found that it was from the planet Pluto entitled The Mutnik Review’’ with EARL ATWELL as its editor. There on the front page in very large red letters was JOHN B. OVERCASH Campaigns Against STEVE DAVES for Solar King.’’ There were some unique cartoons concerning their campaigns drawn by DOLYNN WEBB. Also on the front page was a big write-up about MIKE PROPST. It seemed that he had won another blue ribbon with his prize Martian Bull. By this time I was getting extremely curious about this business of the planets. When we reached the Moon and I stepped off the space ship the first person I saw was JOHN RUDISILL. I went over to talk to him and, as usual, he was complaining. His job was to sweep the cosmic rays off all the space ships and he just never seemed to get any¬ where. Another person who seemed to be at a standstill was DONALD MORRISON who was drilling for cheese on the opposite side of the street. As I was walking on down the street I was surprised to see STEVE SEABOCH coming out of the Moonbeams Lu¬ theran Church so I went over to see how he was doing. He explained that he had been pastor there for the last seven years and that now he had just become Dr. Seaboch. It was about lunch time then so I caught a cab and went to the Moon Cafe’’ which the driver, LONNIE CARTER, suggested because it was owned by TONY SWINSON. It seemed that JOAN OVERCASH and LINDA WILHELM were the only waitresses and the food was delicious but very different from anything I had been used to. I decided that the best way to see the planets would be on a sightseeing tour. First we boarded a long, low bus which I learned had been designed by BOBBY FAIN and toured the brand new High School that was designed and constructed by HAROLD WINECOFF. The name of this extravagant building was Sky High” and I was as¬ tonished to see DONALD EAGLE as Principal, DELANE YOUNG as an Engli sh Professor, JAUNITA CARTNER teaching bookkeeping, and ALICE MILLER and MARTHA SMITH in charge of the cafeteria. From there we ventured to a somewhat new establishment . . . that is, new to me, but not to the natives of the Moon . . . called a Satellite Hatchery which was owned and operated by MARCINE MOORE. I was wondering what had happened to her and GENE McCORKLE when a large broom came sweeping down the hall. Behind it was faithful Gene as acting janitor. Leaving the Hatchery we climbed on board a space ship and flew to Venus where we first visited the Video Gardens.” The flowers grown there by LOUISE CARTER were simply breathtaking. There were so many new flowers which no one had ever seen. From there we visited the City Hospital and the first thing I noticed was a sign reading CECIL IRVIN, famed orthodontist, (see, I did learn something in English after all). There was just one catch—instead of fixing teeth he was still knocking them out. The head nurse was MARY ELLEN RITCHIE and others on her staff were IRENE HON- BARGER, KAROLYN HAMPTON, and FRANCES SHELL. It seemed that on this planet they still had television and the next place we visited was a TV Shop owned by TAMARA MORGAN. When asked how she came about this business, she replied that she was always missing a program now and then and that now, with her own shop, she never had to worry. Her favorite program was The Thin Man” starring JERRY ELLER. Next we visited a very exclusive men’s shop, Haley’s Sport Shop,” owned by LARRY THOMAS and JIMMIE CHILDERS as manager. The shop seemed to be making these boys very rich. From there we moved on to the planet Jupiter where the chief occupation was farm¬ ing or dust scratching as it was called there. Their main crop was planet stools which, much to my surprise, resembled our toad stools, but, as the leading scratchers, SIDNEY ALBRIGHT, JOHNNY SLOAN, HAROLD SPECK, and ROY PINKSTON, pointed out, they are very nutritious. We then toured one of their largest towns, Gurgleville, owned by DONALD SLOOP and JAMES SOLOMON. The most amazing sight in this city was the planet famous factory owned by VANCE GOODMAN manufacturing Do It Yourself Guillotines” and right next door was a You Did It Yourself, Now Let Us Fix It” shop owned by ARLENE and MAXINE WISE. From there we ventured on into space to see a space ship race among RONALD TAY¬ LOR, DAVID CLARK, NELSON HORTON, and KENNETH VANDERFORD. This was even more thrilling than any of the races they used to have in high school. It was a very close race but Ronald Taylor won by a headlight. The next planet on our agenda was Neptune where we saw the latest movie Gone With the Sputnik” in NeptaVision starring GRANT DAVIS and LYNDA LIPE as Rhett and Scarlet. Other famous stars also in the movie were RUTH SWANNER, DAVID WALKER, NED RAPE, and SONJA SECHLER. The clothes worn by these stars were very well fitted to the situations of the movie and I discovered that they had been designed by the one and only KAY WALLACE, the most famous designed of that After this extraordinary movie we visited the beautiful home of the leading comet sweeper LOUISE OVERCASH. I was very glad to see that her job as a housewife was made much easier by her three lovely children. They were the cutest little green monsters I had ever seen. Also at the party were ANN DAVIS and SANDRA HARRIS who looked very radiant after their recent visit to the Satellite Hatchery. Ann was telling me that her oldest son was attending Starlite University” and was studying the Amer¬ ican Language. It seemed that his professor on this subject was NOLAN HEILIG. Sandra said that her son was interested only in sports. His favorite one being Footwhamy, especially since DONALD HARTSELL and SAM SAFRIT were coaches. Our next planet was Mars and the day was almost over. We ended our tour with the Sun Spot” which was a very luxurious night club. The floor show was terrific—JAMES RAY SHINN played a number of solos on his trumpet and DIANNE HENRICKSON and FAYE NESBIT sang their latest hit Cross Over the Moon”; FRANCES STILLER demonstrated the new trend in dancing called the Marambo and was backed by a group called the Star Twisters” with PHYLLIS GOODNIGHT, BETTY JEAN FREEZE, VIENNA GOODMAN, and LYDIA CRISP. Their costumes were exquisite, having been designed by MYRTLE LENTZ. For a side effect the club was featuring Mr. Muscle Mars,” which had been won that year by CLAUDE PARIS, and his two assistants DONNIE LENTZ and HARVEY MORGAN. ' By then I was completely worn out and so were all the others so we stopped by the Milky Way” for some ice cream and there waiting on customers was SYLVIA HOOKS. Her love for ice cream hasn’t changed a bit after all these years. After all of these surprises I w’as almost ready to drop so I caught the next ship back to earth in hopes of everything being normal again.
