SPECIAL STUDENTS WILLIAM ROBERT DONALD GREENE LITTLE SAFRIT 18 THIS ABOVE ALL The final school year of the Class of 1948 has ended. It is truly a privilege and an honor to welcome you to our graduation. We invite you to share with us the joy, the hope, and the zeal of this occasion as we pause on the threshold of the future to glance backward and for- ward before moving ahead. Along the way we have come were many sidetracks with tempting in- ducements; but with the strong and faithful guidance and example of friends, parents, and teachers, we have moved constantly forward to this end. It is with a deep and grateful thanks to those who have given us a firm foundation upon which to stand, that we face the future unafraid, sure of our power to make the world a better place for those around us. To seek true and lasting wisdom through the means of education is the foundation upon which we are constantly building. For the structure that we raise, Time is with materials filled; Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. As we look forward today, we resolve to face the future with a willing mind, a deep courage, and a strong hope that we may take our places in tomorrow ' s world, always reminding ourselves that: This above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou const not then be false to any man. In closing, we would like to say again how happy we are to have you with us for we know that success is sweetest when shared with others. As we pass from these portals, we trust we carry with us your sym- pathy, a little of your wisdom, and the courage of youth. ELAINE SMETANA, Salutatorian 19 WELL REMEMBERED Our youth began with tears and sighs, With seeking what we could not find; We sought and knew not what we sought; We marvel, now we look behind: Life ' s more amusing than we thought. Andrew Long Back in the days of first dates, natural lipstick, and crushes, the class of 1948 little realized what lay in store for it. However, under the faithful leadership of President Libby Boulus, Vice-President Millicent Bunn, Secretary Phyllis Tate, and Treasurer David Crosland, ninety-four small freshman came through their first year of high school without too much difficulty. We were now anxiously looking forward to being the long-awaited sophomore who was such an important character on the campus of CHS ... so though the innocent class of 1948. When the fall of our second year finally arrived, we formed the definition of a sophomore which was one who has completed his freshman year of high school and is longingly awaiting his junior year. We never seemed to be satisfied. Being such an individual class, we did not feel the need of class officers. However, we were proud of the fact that for the first time in our school ' s history, honors were bestowed upon sophomores by the Quill and Scroll and the National Honor Society. Our honors did not stop there for we received first place in the class basketball tournament. As this school year drew to a close, we began to think more seriously of the work that lay ahead. The majority of our junior year was spent in making preparations for our first Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. Four frantic weeks were devoted to our magazine selling campaign in order to raise money to give the senior class something to remember in their future years. By now, we were shouldering responsibilities and doing well. This was partly due to the wise guidance of President Bill Johnsey, Vice-President Eddie Dorton, Secretary Betty Howard, and Treasurer Jimmy Peninger. The fact that we had only one more year left to work for our diplomas kept our spirits lively through- out the year, preserving our traditional jolly junior title. We were now ready to take leave of the junior class and pass into the end of our dream, being a senior! This dream was not enclosed with pink clouds and stardust as we had once thought. Instead, we were surrounded with all manner of textbooks and endless hours of studying. With the exception of Vice-President, the Senior Class officers remained the same as the previous year. Ben White received duties as Vice-President from Eddie Dorton. We can now say our capable officers successfully accomplish- ed their tasks. We should cherish this last year more highly each time we look back to the days spent in the excitement of the Senior play, our annual, the last Junior-Senior, and in the thrill of graduation. Never again will we laugh and talk with one another as we have these past four years, and never again can we gaze into the old, familiar faces of each other; but let it be said that our years were years that were well spent and well remembered. CLASS HISTORIAN, Phyllis Tate PROPHECY September 1, 1960 Hollywood, California MY DEAR MR. GLENN: Do you ever wonder what happened to the class of ' 48? I thought perhaps you were still interested; I would like to tell you where they are and what they ' re doing now. Lee Wensil, Jr. wanted to continue in the plumbing business with his father, but he has been persuaded by Democratic Party leaders David McKee, James Ridenhour, and Bobby Yow to run for president this year. Red Cross chairman for Cabarrus County is Millicent Bunn and her able staff of helpers includes Jo Anne Brown, and Edith Lewis, but did you know that Bob Bangle was recently elected Doctor of the Year in Mount Pleasant? (I think it ' s because he ' s the only one there). You won ' t believe it, but Brady Faggart is known throughout the world as the second Al Capone. He certain- ly did change. Peggy Howell has opened her own little theatre in High Point, and has as her fellow workers, Betty Lyerly and Hazelene Newton. Betty Howard and Ruby Gunter have a college in Philadelphia exclusively for girls interested in becoming 20 housewives. Majors are given in dishwashing and dusting. Up at Yale, Nick Hennessee, president of the college, has appointed Kenny Winecoff basketball coach for the coming year. Juanita Brown and Peggy McLellan are nominees to take Sister Kenny ' s place in the Health World. On Wall Street R. D. Waddell is a wealthy and famous lawyer but is on trial now for swindling his firm. Betty Sides and Pat Moose are beauteous Conover models. Perhaps you saw them on the August cover of Mademoiselle. The Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo is featur- ing Elizabeth Ann Baucom as its star this season. Her secretary and advisor is Ben Cruse. Today I received a letter from Bobbie Lee, who is happily married and teaches music, telling me that Jimmy Peninger now has his own funeral home. Remember how he used to drive that ambulance in his high school days? Carl Alexander and Bobby Small are his assistants. So Ann Jean Blackwelder and Phyllis Tate are co-directors of the Youth recreation program in Concord? I know they are doing a wonderful job. I saw an advertisement yesterday announcing the open- ing of the Club Bon Air , exclusive nightclub, operated by Robert Blackwelder and Charles H. Ritchie. King Willis and his Witty Willies are to be featured every night while Bill Greene and his orchestra will play for dancing, and Martha Aiken will warble those blues in that enviable sultry tone. Buddy Trexler is famous as the playboy of New York. I know this won ' t be hard for you to believe since that ' s what he was in high school, too. Maxene Sevier is the private secretary of the president of the National Bank in Boston. Ah! these lap secretaries! Father David Cook is taking his Notre Dame Football team to the Rose Bowl this year to play against Ernie Kiuttz ' s Southern Cal. team, and they were co-captains in High School! So the prettiest girl in the class, Rachel Cline, is still pretty! Do her twins have that beautiful red hair, too? I could hardly believe that Pat ' s Posies , a florist here in Hollywood, belonged to Jimmy Patterson. His helper, A. R. Morrison, has developed a cross-breed of the dandelion and orchid that is sweeping the country. Jean Ritchie is now proclaimed as the popular music artist of today. She has just completed a composition en- titled The Hour Is Now with lyrics written by Joan Melchor who is gaining fame as a modern style poet. David Crosland has asked the United States Government to sell him the state of Rhode Island. He and Eddie Dorton want to set up their own regime. Bing says it ' s small and the government won ' t miss it. Jean Braswell ' s teaching kinder- garten is one thing I thought would never take place but it has. Joe Bost, the Ripley of 1960, has included that in this weeks Believe It or Not column. Elizabeth Boulus has just admitted that Einstein knew nothing about mathematics, and from now on her theories will be known and used throughout the world. In this same field Lois McEachern is seeking to destroy anything con- cerning math. She burned the Public Library last week to start her campaign. Fire chief Bill Johnsey got there just in time to see the ashes before they blew away. Admiral Don Safrit sails for China next month in a new contraption called the DS5. As you see, it is named for him. Commodore David Williams has discovered a fish in the sea that sings and he will make a tour sometime the first of the year to present the fish to the public. Professor of French at the University of North Carolina is Frances Swaringen who was always good in that subject during high school. At the same university Eiaine Smetana teaches German. She studied in Germany for four years and really knows her stuff. Jimmy Wilkinson is a popular writer of advice to those in love and having troubles. He uses the pen-name Ex- perience . Guess those girls Betty Van Hoy, Jane Dorton, Ernestine Snuggs, Joyce Kluttz, Jackie Barrier and Bobbie Shue are still happy after their midnight marriages gradu- ation night. First lime I had ever seen six couples marrieJ at the same time. Jimmy Coble has proclaimed himself the Typical Ameri- can gentleman of today. A. R. Morrison thinks he should have the honor, though. Everyone wants in the act! At the National Art Convention in Chicago Benny Bost and Jerry Helms have been named the greatest artists of the century. Hope Lippard and Betty Little ' s book Why I Hate the French Language is a best-seller now. Their second year of French inspired them to write the book. Ben White is pianist of the Philharmonic. In the music world also is Tommy Williams who is publishing a new magazine every month entitled Icpatbthj which means I can play a trumpet better than Harry James. Editors of his magazine are Mary Ruth Talbert and Betty Limerick, while Dorothy Kluttz, Betty Wensil, and Donald M. Furr manage all the business affairs. Mayor of China Grove, Bob Hull, has recently given Richard Red Kepley the keys to the city in hopes that this will break Red of the bad habit of entering the banks in the metropolis at midnight. Bobby Small, chief of police in the same city, has appointed Tommy Linker as the first G-man there. Marilyn Gardner and Betty Martin have opened a Turkish Bath in New Orleans. Joe Garmon was their first customer saying he needed to re- duce. Mike Howard is still a ministerial student at Duke, but he hopes to graduate with the class of 1970. Christine Winecoff has discovered a new way to play basketball- with no ball! She hopes the country will catch on to the game quickly. Her fellow worker was Joyce Smith. James Tallent opposes her plan since he thinks Bill Harrison ' s idea of having a ball for every player makes the game more interesting. Guess you still think I talk as much as in my high school days, but I just wanted you to know what had happened to the class of ' 48. I ' m still trying to get a bit part in a movie. I won ' t give up. Best Wishes, ANNE SAPP, Class Prophet 21 We, the Senior Class of ' 48 do declare this to be our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT SECTION I ARTICLE I To our bewildered principal, we leave, first— quiet and peaceful halls and rooms; second— an insane faculty; and third a prescription to be filled in case any of his future classes should act as we— arsenic.

It is your day, and you ' ve made it your way; But what will you do with tomorrow? Today will never more return, For time no man can borrow.

The goal for which we have worked and strived for so many years is finally ours. We have come this far— a victory no doubt— but what now? So far our lives have followed a planned course which might easily be compared to the smooth flow of a small stream. There are no major obstacles to hinder the course of the water, only pebbles and roots. Our lives until now have been the same— planned and mapped out for us. Tonight that stream is merging with something bigger. It has finally reach- ed the river where it will flow together with all the other streams— not with certainty— but with the power and force unknown to it before. Our lives, like the mighty river, will have periods of calmness and depth, but we must always be prepared for the rapids which are inevitable. In the words of John Dyer: And see the rivers how they run Through woods and meads, in shade and sun, Sometimes swift, sometimes slow,— Wave succeeding wave, they go A various journey to the deep. It is not a secret to any of us that we are living in the most uncertain and dangerous period in the history of the world; that the action of any one nation could mean the upheaval and probable destruction of the entire world. Of course, we have no illusions of being the ones who will shape the world; but we do know that it is through us, and millions of young people like us all over the world, that the pattern of the world will be established. It is our right and duty to see that it is the wise one. We, as good citizens of the U. S. and of the world, cannot fail to do this if we want to survive. Let us not leave tonight without giving our heartfelt gratitude to those who have made our school years possible. To our teachers and principal we owe a debt which can never be repaid. They have, to a great extent, molded the course of our thinking and habits. Their influence has been like that of a dam on a river holding back the unruly waters, keeping the course straight when there is a tendency to turn aside. No other persons, save perhaps our parents and pastors, have helped us as much as they. We shall miss their physical presence, but mentally they will always be with us, and we will be better people for having known them. Tonight is the last time that we will meet together as a body, but let us not be. Standing with reluctant feet, Where the brook and river meet. Rather let us remember that like the little stream that finally flows into the river, we are not forsaking old friends but going out to find new ones. Our paths will never part, for human lives all flow together in the same course. All together we will be prepared for the waterfall of life that will shake us, but, with the aid of our friends, make us stronger, richer, and better prepared for the future.

Bob Mabrey, David Cook. FOOTBALL The various positions left open at the beginning of the 1947 season by graduates were ends, quarter back, tail back, tackles, and center. To adjust this break, Coach Austin shifted Ernie Kluttz from end to full back, Bob Mabrey from full back to half back, and Chip Ritchie from guard to center while Floyd Jarvis played his regular half back position. This was the nucleus of the 1947 team who along with the B Squad lead the Spiders through a very successful season. After mastering the T formation, which was used for the first time at C.H.S., the Spiders did not lose another game. This play seemed to be the needed attack. Some of the inexperienced players who helped make this a success were Joe Bost, King Willis, Bruce McLain, Albert Erwin, and Ken Seltzer. The opening thriller, which was played at Goldsboro, was the 13-0 defeat of Goldsboro who had 22 lettermen on their team. The greatest heartbreaker of the season came when the Spiders lost 6-7 to Children ' s Home. Although the game was lost, the boys played a very good game. Outstanding playing was again witnessed by the spectators as they saw the Spiders defeat Statesville 40-0 early in the season. The only tie of the season was with Lexington. Completing the season with a good record, the Spiders felt that they couldn ' t stop. Indeed they did not. The Spiders had the honor of being selected by the Harvest Bowl Committee from our conference to oppose champions of the Western Conference in the Harvest Bowl Game played at Shelby. In a most thrilling game, the Spiders won 13-6. Along with these great victories there are always some individual honors. Two of our players mac the All Conference Team. Kluttz who had received this honor last year at end, repeated his good playing as quarter back. David Cook won the other honor as an outstanding guard. Plays to remember: Kluttz ' s 90 yard run after an interception against Goldsboro; Kluttz ' s 90 yard punt returned against Children ' s Home; Kluttz to Willis pass against Albemarle; Kluttz to Jarvis pass in the Harvest Bowl Game; the sensational running of Jarvis in every game; and the good defensive play of co-captain elect Ick Alley in every contest. 52 OUR B SQUADS Top picture, left to right: First row: Conley Ray Suther, Bob Waterfield, Jack Mabrey, Jackie Airheart, Robert Braswell, Curtis Stancil, Mickey Crisco.

However, they still had Christine Winecoff one of last year ' s regular forwards along with a strong force of guards. Being short of forwards, it was necessary to switch guards to that position. I.ibby Boulus, who along with Chris Winecoff served as co-captains, was one of the main changes. Despite this handicap the Spiderettes gave all their teams a tough fight with these lettermen helping: Christine Winecoff, Libby Boulus, Kat Cook, Bobbie Lee, Laura Young McClellan, Jean Ritchie, and Willie Ruth Readling. The Spiderettes won three and tied one of the 14 games played.

Among the lettermen coming back were Ernie Kluttz, Jimmy Coble, David Crosland, King Willis, Bill Irvin, James Braswell, Ick Alley, and Charles Furr. Two outstanding stars from other schools who helped to make our team even more powerful were Kinny Winecoff and Parker Duncan. The Spiders saw the best season that they had seen in a few years. Out of 14 games, they won 10 and lost 4. King Willis lead the boys as captain and David Crosland was the alternate captain.

The club meets every two weeks, is open to all members of ihe Senior High School, and usually gives one or two public performances during the year along with a number of one-act plays for the school and club. Act Your Age, a three act comedy, was presented this fall to an apprecia- tive audience. Although this was the only major production by the Dramatics Club, Our Town, presented by the Black Masquers of Davidson College, was sponsored by the Pan Players. A major activity in the club this year was the class competition program. Each class presented a student-directed play in competition for a trip to Charlotte to attend the April production of the Little Theatre. During the course of the year various programs were given for entertainment to the club members. 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. A one-act comedy, Antic Spring, was presented by these students in order to raise money for their organization.
