MOTTO: What we are to bv, wc' are now becoming. COLORS: Blur and White FLOWER: Red Rose 5 A L U T A T U H Y TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO FIND, AND NOT TO YIELD The Class of '45 has reached the door in the long corridor of our education over which is written Commencement Out of this door an unseen voice calls out to us: To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. While passing through this corridor, many doors have beckoned us to enter and enjoy the present pleasures of life, but we of the Class of '45 have remained in the corridor of true education realizing that: Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined ena' or way, But fo act, that each tomorrow Find ns farther than today. Encouraged and influenced by our teaching masters to go forth, we have striven to build our lives on solid foundation of character, we have sought to gain wisdom whose price is above the worth of rubiesg and we have found our goal--graduation- to commence again in another corridor of time. Tonight as We stand in the doorway of commencement, wc are resolved not to yield to the soft, luxurious way of life, but to bestir ourselves to the challenge given to all youth who will tomorrow face the world alone for the first time. With a strong heart, a willing mind, and a courageous outlook on life, we shall take the challenge to be up and doing with a will for any fate, with a heart to believe and trust in truth, and with a soul to dare though the odds be great. We will give heed to our inner self, taking as our watchword the words of the poet, Babcock: Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard Work to do, and loads to lift, Shun not the struggle-face itg 'tis Godls gift. Be strong! Say not, 'the days are evil. Who's to blame'? And fold the hands and acquiesce-oh shame! Stand up, speak out, and bravely, in God's name. Be strong! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day how long, Faint not-fight on! Tomorrow comes the song. RALPH L. UNDERWOOD, JR. Salutatorian. EL SS HISTDHY The approach of Commencement brings to the members of the Senior Class of 1945 the realization that one phase of our lives is completed, and that another lies before. This is one of the most important changes in our lives, and now, more than ever, we think about the experiences of the past and the possibilities of the future. Of course, what stands out most in remembering our Freshman year is the initiation of the students to the school and its ways of doing things. After the first frantic days, we learned our way about the halls and the meaning of the many confusing bells. We remember with pride the place our class, under the leadership of Ralph Under- wood, took in such activities as athletics, dramatics, and music. Our wise Sophomore year was one of determination and study. This year was marked by a successful war bond campaign and an excellent school spirit. Our president, Ralph Underwood, who had previously proved himself, led us through a most profitable year. The main thing we remember about our Junior year is the Social life. In the spring of 1944 we gave the Seniors a banquet and dance. This meant a great deal to us, for it was not only the realization of one of our dreams, but the outcome of a success- ful magazine campaign. This year saw Ralph Underwood again the president of the class. It was a year of assertion for a class which had passed the stage of infancy. During this period the class was busy building a record of achievement worthy of its membership. Our Senior year has been the best of all. We have come a long way since 1940, when we first entered Concord High School. Relations between the encouraging faculty and the students have been strengthened, the Spiderettes won the basketball tournament, and the class has shown a new spirit in dealing with more serious problems of high school life. The class has given unselfishly to the many war funds during the year and has had the highest war stamp percentage for the year. Russell Coble, as class president, deserves considerable credit for the progress made during this final year. In the fields of scholarship, athletics, and other activities, the Class of '45 has enjoyed a success, which, in the years before us, will be a source of our happiest memories. It is the earnest hope of this class that something worthwhile has been left with Concord High - that its four years here have made a permanent mark. Perhaps we could compare the activities of the Class of '45 and the class of life which lies before us. If we are to make predictions from the history of the past, is it not probable that this group will also leave its mark on the world? Concord High School has seen much- from this senior class. Perhaps there is more to expect in the future. ANN RANKIN, Class H istorian. 'lb EL SS PHUPHEEY Ilwas spinning through space. Nothing seemed real. yet there was the unmistakable feeling of being in familiar surroundings. Suddenly, Concord High School loomed up front of me, and dropped just as suddenly. I traveled to many cities within a short timeg and I saw many things no other had seen before. I thought I saw a friend of mine. I did! It was Clem Llewellyn testing his latest rocket propulsion invention. After having recognized him, visions of other fellow students came to me. D D I was in Washington. Behind the desk of the Secretary of the Treasury sat digni- fied Albert Calloway, talking on the phone to the honorable Russell Coble, President of the United States, whose private secretary is Betty Blackwelder. As Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Bob Bogie, walked in, I was suddenly snatched away to the southern part of Georgia to the main offices of the Gwyn Textile Chain. President Hugh Gwyn's secretarial staff consisted of Phyllis Cook and Sarah Staton. In his private office, President Gwyn was having an important conference with his five plant superintend- ents, Donald Horton, Harold Yerton, Floyd Furr, Harold Denny, and Coit Harris. No sooner had I recognized these fellow students, when hazily I blinked at the sudden change in surroundings. I was at Princeton University, where I learned that Professor Pat Ritchie had disproved Einstein's theory of relativity and established his own. Coach Dink Honeycutt's eleven were waiting for the big game which was to come up Saturday with Yale, whose Coach was the dynamic Jim Dorton. Leading in Girls' Physical Ed at Princeton were Martha Best Yorke, Pat Shumate, sand Ann Rankin. Visiting at the university that day on a lecture tour was Pulitzer Prize Winner Martha Ellen Query, who had written the great American novel. Winner of the previous year's prize, for outstanding magazine work, was Wade Beck, Editor-in-Chief of America's leading magazine, Life. His private secretary was Johnsie Smith, and his staff of assistants consisted of Harold Helms, Ellena Wright, and Anne Ballenger. The latest copy of Life contained three main pictorial stories: action pictures of Rodney Yates and Frances Burris, greatest horseman and horse woman of our timeg Backstage at the Metropolitan, featuring pictures of Iris Bost, soprano and Mary Ross Sherrin, alto, with pianist Ernest Whiteg and a story of millionaire philanthropist Jimmy Laf- ferty's endowment of the nation's best equipped hospital, with pictures of its staff. The head nurse is Ruth Cook, ably and wonderfully assisted by Anna Cress Spears, Marjorie Hahn, Billie Miller, Jayne Lowe, and Phyllis Ann Joyner. Life's Picture of the Week is THE MAGNIFICENT HAM-let, starring Dwight Blackwelder, Carolyn Cline, and Lena Heath Hartsell, with William Cline in the title role. Famous in Radio City Music Hall is Miss Nancy Robinson, first lady of the theatre. Not realizing it until a moment later, I then stood in the New York City Court House, where lawyers Melvin Measamer and Kenneth Cruse were arguing a case brought in by District Attorney Stan Northrup and his girl Friday, Frances Irvin. Around the corner and four blocks down stands the First Church in Interdenominations, whose pastor is Dr. Ralph Underwood, assisted by the Reverend Wade Austin. These two are accredited with breaking down barriers of religious denominations. Broadcasting over a nation-wide television hook-up is Alex Patterson and his all- new show with all-corny jokes, voted by the annual radio poll as the favorite variety program of the air, followed by a program of advice to the lovely, by Margaret Elliott, Geraldine Cruse, and Doris Beasley. Following these two programs is a series of talks on the history of English Literature by Jack Alston. Back in Concord, I see the giant neon sign over Cline's Department Store, owned by Harold Cline. His manager is Jack Cohen, with Joe Cagle as assistant manager. Manager of one of his branch stores is Billy Gibson. Ronald Propst heads the shipping department. Harold's staff of secretaries, designers, and buyers consists of Rita Alex- ander, Peggy Allred, Minnie Boger, June Cagle, Irene Crisco, Emmy Lou Howell, Annie Jean Johnson, and Alice Linker as secretaries in his wide-spread chain stores, with Norma Wyatt, Vivian Bake1', Betsy Boykin, and Janet Tarlton as designers. His buyers in Paris are Barbara Shoff, Nell Baldwin, Nadine Carson, Madge Edsell, Evelyn Greene, Martha Joyner, and Sarah Lee. By this time, the faces of more of my fellow-students came at me so fast that my brain snapped! I found myself sitting in the middle of my bedroom floor, surrounded by the bed clothes that I had thrown about. Was this a preview of the future? Will these things really come about? Who knows, except Time, who will only tell later. William Cline Class Prophet L ST WILL ANU TEST!-XMENT UF THE EL SS UF 1945 We, the Senior Class of 1945, having the knowledge that we soon will be leaving this home of higher learning, and even after being battered, beaten, and berated these past five long and well filled years, feeling that our weakened minds are surprisingly capable of stating our varied desires, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament: That is to say, after all our lawful I. O. U.'s and time penalties are paid and discharged: Item First . . . To the tolerant warden, Principal Cassell, we leave the peace of mind that he has been without since we first darkened the threshold of C. C. C. five years ago. Item Second . . . To the beloved faculty fwho wondered-after we came along--why they took up teachingj we bequeath the patience of Ruth Cook, knowing they will need an abundant supply. Item Third . . . To the loyal inmates who must remain, we leave the beautiful building, its spacious campus, its dreary classrooms, and Miss Crumpler. Item Fourth . . . To all the Juniors we bequeath the doubtful pleasure of Senior English, and to specified Juniors, certain of the Seniors-becoming suddenly and strangely generous -leave the following valued personal traits and belongings: Jim Dorton and Dink Honeycutt leave their sports ability to Lee Talbirt and Jack Miller-to keep up our high standards. William Cline names Baker Morrison as his sole heir to drama, poetry, and unusualness. From Doris Beasley, Mary Moore Horton and Frankie Wilkinson receive an abundant supply of sparkling friendliness. Martha Best Yorke and Pat Shumate leave their basketball prowess to the eminent Bet 'rx' Bertha-fthis might include the co-captainty of the teamj. To Elaine Barrier, Ann Rankin leaves her quiet authority, along with her extensive agitation over the Weavings. Nancy Robinson leaves her deepest sympathy to that hapless junior who falls heir to the hectic job of Pictorial Editor of the Spider Web. Margaret and Jackie leave their ability to stay in love to Sneedy Greene and Glenn Burris. LAST WILL A LI TEST ME T UT THE CLASS UT TS4Sct.m.i Stan Northrup leaves his sly wit and tales of Washington to the faithful Bill McRae. To Ruth Belton goes Iris Bost's wonderful ability to do most anything. The ability to talk perpetually is given to Betty Jean Kluttz. Jackie Wilson is to be calmed down by the sweet, quiet charm of Sarah Staton. Harold Denny gives his daredevil driving tactics to Critz Query-who definitely doesn't need them. The Burris Boys get Cobb's graceful way with the fairer sex--to be divided equally. Ralph Underwood leaves his poise and leadership funder which lies a spark of deviltryj to Grady Carpenter. Carolyn Cline leaves her habit of sleeping on class' to the wide awake Kenneth De Berry. Wade Beck leaves his simple, friendly kindness to Charlie Rimer. Russell Coble kindly gives his winning smile to his kid brother. Mary Ross Sherrin reluctantly parts with her vigorous style of cheerleading to Iris Corzine. Martha Ellen Query leaves all her extra-ordinary qualities to Ebba Jo Tate. Johncp lee Pounds gets Margaret Elliott's appealing charm. Barbara Shoff leaves her drawl to Nancy Whitener. Arthur Stewart is the receiver of Albert Calloway's dangerous good looks. Billie Miller's easily-turned giggle box goes to Carol McCoy. Harold Cline Wants his lovable ways to be divided among all of the Junior boys. Lena Heath Hartsell donates her petite attractiveness to Peggy Bflackwelder. Hugh Gwyn leaves to his younger brother his subtle flirtatious ways-just to keep them in the family. Item Fifth . . . Finally, we the Senior Class of 1945 do make, constitute, and appoint the Senior Class of 1946, friend and enemy alike, to serve without bond or other security as Executors of this our Last Will and Testament, and request that they carry out to the best of their abilities our final wishes. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto subscribed our names, this 26th day of February, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and forty-five. WITNESSES: QSignedj MARY J.

VALEUIETUHY WHAT WE ARE TOT BE WE ARE BECOMING As the Chambered Nautilus . . . left the past year's dwelling for the new Stole with soft step its shining archway through, Built up its idle door, Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more, so we, the Class of '45, close the door of Concord High School tonight and enter the world of our destiny. This new world finds and shall find us unafraid. For within every heart is the deep conviction that we are prepared for these unexplored realms. What we are to be, we are becoming, has been the watch- word of our past and will be the challenge of our future. As the Chambered Nautilus worked each day building his home of the future, so we have spent these early years of our lives preparing for the richer and more beautiful chamber just ahead. Tonight we receive our reward for the efforts and struggles of the past, tonight we begin work anew--becoming day by day what we are to be. To leave the halls that we love so well makes us sad, but the thrill of ambition and the expectation of unfound happiness are compen- sation. And so we set out upon the road to maturity breathing this challenging prayer: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from heacen with a dome more vast, Till than at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea!

It is here in these rooms that each student spends most of his time each day. It is here that he acquires the knowledge and training that aids him in all other activities. Metaphorically speaking, we might say that the classroom is the heart of our school. Since we believe this to be true, we wish to dedicate this section of The Spirfer Wt-I1 to our beloved teachers and classmates. HONlli Ec3oNoM1c:s . . . TYPINKJ . . . MIiCHANICAl, IDRAWINKZ . . .

Sfmnwr The Student Organi7ation of Concord I-Iigh School, Consisting of two bodies, the Student Assembly and the Student Council, was formed to encourage a more effective spirit of co-operation between the faculty and the student body, in insure a spirit of democracy, to establish and maintain higher moral and scholastic standards, to encourage participation of students in all school activities, and to afford opportunity for real training in citivenship. The Student Assembly, composed of two representatives from each home room, has many respon- sibilities. The most important are the handling of corridor trafic, the general supervision of the school building and grounds, the enforcement of the point system of honors, and the supervision of social activities. Seasonal activities include the sponsoring of class basketball and the publication of a student handbook, 'flu' Wfufl. The Student Assembly promotes the sale of War Bonds and Stamps-providing for a booth where stamps are sold each day, sponsoring a regular stamp day each week, and advertising W'ar Bond drives. i The Student Council is the advisory body of the Student Organization. Members, a boy and a girl from each class. are elected by the members of the Student Assembly from their own membership. Besides making a careful study of any matter rferred to it by the Student Assembly and reporting its decision, the Student Council is constantly improving the morale of the school.

Its aims and purposes are serious and worthy, striving always to bring out to the fullest extent the talents of the individual members. Membership in the organization is not only a reward for work already done in dramatics, but it is also evidence of a serious desire on the part of the stu- dent to do better work in the future. The Pan Players became affiliated with The Na- tional Thespian Society in the year 1932, and are designated as Troupe 202. Since that time a number of Pan Players have been honored each year as indi- Coy McDaniel Ann Rankin Nancy Robinson Mary Ross Sherrin Ebba jo Tate Ralph Underwood Martha Best Yorke Miss Quinn Sponsor vidual members of the troupe. The national magazine is called Drumatics, and is an educational magazine for directors, teachers, and students of Dramatic Art. This is sent free of charge for a year to each Thespian member. The Thespian colors are blue and gold. Individual membership into the National Thespians is a coveted honor because of the rigid requirements and high standards. The National Thespian exem- plifies the spirit of the real trouper in loyalty, co-operation, promptness, self control, and depend- ability, seeking ever to promote to the best of his ability good dramatics in high school. The Thespian strives to live up to the troupe motto: Act well your party there all the honor lies.

Historian LILLIAN QUINN .........................,..., Director The Pan Players, which is the 202nd Troupe of the National Thespians, is one of the most active and progressive clubs in Concord High School. This year the club num- bers 192 enthusiastic members, wliose aim is to create an active and intelligent interest in school dramatics. The club meets every two weeks, is open to all members of Senior High School, and usually gives two or three public performances during the year along with a number of one act plays for the school and club. The Pan Player is versatile in his many duties, whether it's leading lady, star actor, major role, minor part, property man, electrician, sound man, ticket seller, stage manager, mistress of Wardrobe, assistant to director, advertising, or just plain janitor, it takes it all to put on a good show, and the Pan Player takes a glory in the task and in acting well his part. Each year a number of troupers are invited to become members of the National Thespian Honorary Society, as recognition of meritorious services rendered in the club. This year the Thespians publicly presented Ann of Green Gables which was an outstanding success and was enthusiastically received by a large audience. Antic S rin , a one act farce, was iven for the school and later resented for the Rotar P g S P Club. Other plays planned for the year are junior Miss, 'iThe Valiant, and jazz and Minuet. Nancy Robinson, Ann Rankin, Martha Best York, and Dwight Blackwelder have been appointed to direct one-act plays later in the year. Thus the curtain falls on another year of work, fun, and frolic for the Pan Players.

S ponsar The Boys' Home Economics Club, better known among the boys as the Grub Club, is composed of twenty fine senior boys. Under Miss Cobbs' direction, these boys have learned many things in the art- of cookery. The knowledge that was gained in the club was displayed once during the year when the boys prepared a banquet for themselves and their girl friends. We are betting that there will be twenty very lucky girls some day when these boys gCl married! Other topics under discussion in the club were dating, marriage, and manners. The boys are very grateful to Reverend L. C. Bumgardener for a series of most helpful discussions which will not only be of benefit to the buys now but also in later years.

With the returning lettermen-Egbert Benfield, Jack McCachern, and Dink Honeycutt, he combined Jack and Ralph Underwood, Bob Bogle, Alex Patterson, Edd Utley, Bill MacRae, and Grady Carpenter to get a consistent line. The backfield stars were numerous with Russell Coble, Jim Dorton, Charles Rimer, Bub Polk, Wade Beck, and Lem Willis seeing loads of action. Bub Polk was the only one not finishing the season, as he entered the Navy in mid-season. Probaby the outstanding highlight was the 25-0 rout of the Kannapolis Little Wonders. The team played as a unit to win the game-one the Seniors on the team! will well remember. Two of our stars received high honors. Jim Dorton was selected as a member of the North Carolina all star team and played in the Shrine Bowl in Charlotte. He and Co-Captain Honeycutt were selected as members of the All South Piedmont Conference team. Honeycutt, being the only unanimous choice, was selected as Captain. The team gave a fine showing and was backed well by the Student body.

Braswell, CCoachJ The girls' basketball squad, in spite of smallness in statue, had one of the best teams in the history of Concord High's basketball career. They were considered one of the best teams in the South Piedmont Conference.

Sanders 1 Coachh The 1945 basketball squad, coached by Harry Sanders, began its season with only four lettermen: Curtis Honeycutf, John Boger, Grady Carpenter, and Captain Russell Goble. With a green team the Spider could not hope for a championship team: how- ever, they gave each opponent a good scrap. Winning three out of the last five games, they finished the season with a fair percentage. Since only three lettermen will be gone from next year's team, the Spiders hope to have a successful season.

The first day Coach Hollingsworth called prac- tice he had 45 boys scrapping to make the first nine. To start the season the Spiders had eight returning lettermen, but one of last year's pitchers, Dink Honeycutt, was called to the service before the first game. This left the following holding letters in baseball-Joe Dorton, catcher, Russell Coble and Jim Dorton, pitchersg Charles Rimer, third base, Grady Carpenter, first baseg Arthur Stewart, second baseg and Jack Miller, centerfield. Ernest Kluttz, who won a letter last year at Hartsell, reported at the first of the season. Some lettermen retained thir places while others didn't.
