- Mary Frances McCracken, Editor-inr-Chief Bruce Francis, Business Manager and The Entire Staff THE 1953 CARD PuUuU THE SENIOR CLASS OF CLYDE HIGH SCHOOL Clyde, North Carolina INAL We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Three, wish to dedicate this, our Yearbook, to the ones most dear to u,s. It is they who, through their faithful cooperation at home and school, have made our education both profitable and possible. They have had much to do with making us what we are. What we do tomorrow will determine whether we live up to their ideals and expectations. So with thankful hearts we dedicate this annual to our loving parents. Our Principal Mr. Stanly Livingston, the man who fills the office of principal, teaches Science, solves our problems, and proves himself a friend to each of us. Our Poard of Directors Mr. Roy S.

In August, 1941, Mrs. Seay and Miss McCracken led seventy-four excited and scared children into the brand-new first grade rooms. Here under the watchful eyes of the teachers, we made our first marks in the book of education. From there we made our way through the different classes, always with the help of very patient teachers. In the eighth grade we met Mrs. Brooks and Miss Cathy, whose careful guidance helped us on the last year before the high school adventure. This year we gave the play, “The Settlement of North Carolina’’, for the school in chapel. We were very active in 4-H Basketball and won two trophies, placing the school second in the county tournament. Each player received a medal for sportmanship. Finally one warm autumn day fifty freshman wandered into the upstairs hall. We girls were sent to Miss Howell, who kept us for three long years. Mr. Henry took command of the boys for the first year. When they became sophomores,they went to Coach Constance. The class enjoyed picnics at Stoney Fork and Frying-Pan Gap, a camping trip to Smokemont and numerous parties scattered through the four years. Then came the Junior year. Here was a year filled to the brim with hard work and good times. Never shall we forget our “Red-Headed Stepchild’’ or all the fun we had at play practice. The proceeds from the play were used to give the Seniors a banquet in Holland. We also sponsored a Junior-Senior Prom in the gym. The grand climax of this year was the all night party the girls had at Mary Frances’ home. The class lost several members along the way: wedding bells rang for Mildred Greene, Joyce Rogers, Mary Parker, and Carroll Holder; Carroll Jones, J. D. Kill- ian, Jimmy Chambers, and Wade McClure joined Uncle Sam’s armed services; Troy Carver, Gene Parton, Carroll Carver, and Eddie Ballinger dropped out of the class; Carolyn McKinny and Carolvn Abbott moved to other schools. However, it was not all losses and no gains, for C. J. Reynolds joined the class in the ninth grade and stayed until the rewarding end. Several of our boys became outstanding football players; Bruce Francis, George Limbo, Jack Shuler, Gerald Medford, and Tommy Scott. At long last we were Seniors. Only thirty-one members remained. The boys and girls were together for the first time in high school with Miss Morgan as sponsor. The first exciting thing that happened was the arrival of our rings. The greatest achievements of the year were: the presentation of the mystery of the year, “Cat O’Nine Tails’’, the various projects carried out to sponsor the wonderful, fun-filled, never-to-be-forgotten trip to Washington, the banquet given us by the Juniors, the choosing of invitations and graduation preparations. At the end of twelve years of wear and tear, the school-house was still beautiful, although not so white. Always will it hold a special place in the hearts of the class of fifty-three, and never shall we forget the best years of our lives there or the dear old teachers who called us roughnecks. As all stories should end, the class of fifty-three lived happily ever after. Vessie Jones Historian Class Prophecy Ten years after the outstanding class of'53 marched out of Clyde High School, I boarded an airplane for a tour of the United States. I soon learned that Rubye Woods was an air hostess on my plane. We talked until I changed planes. My next pilot was none other than Bruce Buchanan; he was just the same old jolly boy. In Hollywood I visited the MGM Studios. As I entered, I heard a great crooner; later I discovered it to be Doyle Teaster who had taken Johnnie Ray’s place. As I picked up the Fashion Magazine, there, staring me in the face, was Floy Latimer, a well-known model, who is married to a widely known orchestra leader. Walking down the street was Geraldine Smith, who was returning from a trip to Paris. She took me to meet Robert Deaver, a photographer and art editor for a movie magazine. In Reno I was startled to learn that George Limbo was the judge who granted all the divorces. The preceding week Gearldine Miller and C. J. Reynolds obtained one from him. Geraldine then flew back to Clyde to work for the Clyde Textile Co. C. J. has been employed by the Blue Ridge Transit Co. for the past three years. While traveling through Chicago, I met Lucy Jones dining in Ernest Lowe’s ritzy restaurant. We three had a delightful chat, and Lucy told me that she was a secretary for the U. S. Marines. As I picked up the telephone directory in Washington, D. C. , the name of Bobby Sutton caught my eye. I immediately called him and was invited out to his luxurious home for dinner. Tommy Scott was there also. They both are working as guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. While still in the Capitol City, I met Joyce Fowler, who is a secretary in the Pen- tagon. She tells me her twin sister, Doris, is in Japan with her soldier husband. They both appear to be doing well. While browsing through the paper in Louisville, I discovered that Joe McCracken was one of their roaming editors. His article read that Bobby Lindsey had purchased the Shady Grove Horse Farm. Mary Lou McCracken and Ernestine Osborne are on the teaching staff at Berea College. Mary Lou lends her hand at basketball and Ernestine teaches the girls to design their own clothes. I learned from them that after Vessie Jones graduated from their college, she accepted a position as an interior decorator for Rich’s in Atlanta. Back in Haywood, I found quite a few familiar faces. Bruce Francis was principal of dear old Clyde High and Aza Lea Farley was teaching dramatics here. Her career started with two leading roles in our Junior and Senior Plays. June Spencer Morgan, the mother of three small boys, was continually grumbling about her job as housewife. Gerald Medford owned the most modern motor company in Western North Carolina. He had employed Henry Childers as his head mechanic. I saw a row of neatly painted buildings with a sign, Shuler’s Dairy’’. This, of course, belonged to Jack. Walking down the hall of the Clyde Community Clinic was Ann Carter, head nurse, She looked in on Barbara Bryson, manager of Clyde Pharmacy, who was recovering from an appendectomy. Then as I returned to my home,I was tired but happy as I concluded my successful journey. For it was successful, as I saw my friends and classmates meeting life’s problems and successfully overcoming them. Mary Frances McCracken Prophet Cast Will and Zestament We-the Senior Class of 1953, partners through four years of High School-being in sound mind and, we hope, in body-considering that the faculty and members of the student body of Clyde High School, in the county of Haywood, in the state of North Carolina, United States of America, may know our appreciation for being our leaders, friends and classmates; and considering that we, the said class of 1953, are ready to take our places in the world, now make known the following bequeaths: ARTICLE I: To the Principal, Mr. Stanly Livingston, we leave our best wishes for the future and what is left of the school.

SWEETHEART Betty Sorrells Qlee Club Newspaper Staff 'V' Maps Safety is for fou SAFETY PRACTICES WE FOLLOW The most dangerous places for students are: (1) On the road going to and from school; (2) on the school bus, getting on and off the school bus, or crossing the road after leaving the bus. We are aware of these danger points, and try to guard against accidents in several ways. First, the bus drivers are instructed in safety practices and law observance in regular meetings with the principal. They study their routes and know the danger points. They are trained to put out a student to check before crossing any railroad with students. They are instructed to watch the small children especially and never to drive away from a stop until all are seen to be in the clear. A student with a flag is appointed to assist at danger points on the main highway. There is a boy on each load whose duty it is to open the rear door on orders from the driver in case of an accident. It is emphasized with the drivers at all times that SAFE OPERATION OF THE BUS IS THE FIRST CONSIDERATION. In the office a chart showing the number of days our busses have been operated without an accident chargeable to the driver is maintained. As of this date, December 12, 1952, we have 329 days without accident, dating back to January 30, 1952. We hope to have an even better record when this appears in print! Second, we have a group of boys, members of the Safety Patrol, who contribute very much to school safety. These boys patrol the crossing at school assisting students to cross safely at the proper time; they take in and put out the School Zone signs; help park cars at football games; supervise the chains at the entrances to grounds, and help promote safety in general. They have been provided with raincoats and capes by the Clyde Lions; their belts and badges are furnished partly by the Lions, partly by the school. The Clyde Police Department has been of great help in organizing and instructing the patrol. Unsung Heroes Mr. Caldwell, everybody’s friend, not only manages the big job of custodian but has time for a smile and a cheery word for all.

But Olie y r e Stilt Our f riL a n The Clyde Cardinals, coached by Hugh Constance, opened their football season when they met the Candler Bobcats, September 20. Max Snyder made the touchdown for Clyde in the third quarter. Can- dler scored in the first and fourth and beat the Cardinals 14 to 6. They played their first home game September 26, when they were host to the Marshall team. Mar- shall scored in the second and fourth quarters and defeated the Cardinals 13 to 0. The Cardinals traveled to Jackson County October 3, where they met the Sylva Hurricanes. The Hurricanes intercepted passes in the first and second quarters and both passes brought touchdowns. Jolly scored for Clyde in the second quarter, and Sylva scored again in the third and fourth quarters. The final score was Sylva 26, Clyde 6. Bethel defeated the Cardinals 20 to 0 in a home game October 10. The Demons led 13 to 0 at the half. Clyde threatened but was never able to score. The Cardinals went to Swain County, October 17, where they met the Swain High Maroons and held them to one lone score. The Maroons scored their only touchdown in the first quarter. Max Snyder re- ceived a punt on his own five and went to the Maroon five. The half ran out, and Clyde lost possession of the ball. The game ended with a 6 to 0 score. The Cardinals had their first victory of the season when they rolled over the Walnut team 25 to 6. Russell went over for Clyde the first time the Cardinals had possession of the ball. Jolly made a touch- down in the second quarter. With only three minutes to play, Thompson intercepted a pass and ran thirty yards for the final touchdown. Franklin defeated the Cardinals November 14, 26 to 0. The Cardinals made a good showing, but they couldn’t hold the powerful Franklin line. The Cardinals romped over the Cherokee team 54 to 6, on the Cherokee field. Coach Constance cleared the bench for the second victory of the season. The Cardinals journeyed to Tryon and defeated them 27 to 6. Snyder, Jolly, and Thompson made touchdowns for Clyde. Thompson and Snyder made the extra points. The Bethel Blue Demons defeated the Cardinals 20 to 0 at the Wayne sville Stadium on Thanksgiving Eve. Bethel made touchdowns in the first, second, and fourth quarters. Clyde put up a determined de- fense in the third quarter and held the Demons scoreless. The Cardinals ended the ’52 season with three wins and seven losses.
