H,,,,,,.,,, As we, the Senior Class of 1951, look back over the past, we feel that we can compare our past achievements and failures to that of a ship at sea. We are grateful for the guidance we have received from our Captain, Mr. Glenn, and his competent assistants, the faculty. W'ith these leaders at the helm, the rough spots were made smooth, and the fog of doubt and uncertainty that engulfed us was made clear. We started our voyage as youngsters, carefree and irre- sponsible. We considered our terms as seventh and eighth- graders the calm before the storm. After smooth sailing during these years, we reached Port la Freshman, where we disembarked from our ship and enrolled at the Hall of Knowledge. We were to encounter branches of this school at every port. We felt honored in a sense because we were allowed to choose our own courses and join the clubs of our choice. Most of the Freshmen were eager to become members of the Dramatics Club, and we all felt a tiny twinge of excitement when our own Pan Players entered into competition with the other three classes and presented for our entertainment, Peace! It's Wonderful! There was a sense of newness and bewilderment about our class that began to wear off after we had learned to fit in with the other classes. Graduation then was so far in the future that it was only a vague dream, but we were glad that, at the end of the year, we had earned credits that pushed us on toward that mark. After nine months of training we again boarded our old ship, Concord High, and set sail for Sophomore Coast. We found that the seas were not as placid as before, but the days were filled with vivacious activity. We cast our anchor at Sophomore Coast and con- tinued our studies at this branch of schooling. Several members of our class were prominent in their separate fields of endeavor. We boasted of Martin Jordan, who was elected to the position of Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Council. Our dignified debaters, Millie Cline and Roy Davis, won our admiration with their oratory that took them to the District Semi-Finals. For the first time letter-girls were chosen to precede the school band, and the Sophomores, Betty Sue White, Lael Corzine, and Joy Strawn, stood out among them. The Sophomore girls were victorious winners in the class basketball tournament, and our Pan Players again displayed their talent in the hilarious comedy, Shock of His Life. It was with a serious, thoughtful attitude that a group of young teen-agers, more settled than before, docked at Junior Harbor. Our destination, Graduation, stood out very vividly agaist a background of English, history, math, and French. Officers were set before us for leadership. We were under the capable direction of Co-Captain, Phil Haywood, First Mate, Luther Barnhardt, Second Mate, Millie Cline, and Third Mate, Lael Corzine. Phoebe Barnhardt and Roy PATSY ENNIS Davis were elected to shoulder the responsibilities that accompany the office of Vice President of the Student Organization, and Phoebe was chosen to represent our school as Queen in the Christmas parade. For their outstand- ing service, leadership, scholarship, and character, Orchard Hord, Martin Jordan, Roy Davis, and Luther and Phoebe Barnhardt were installed in an impressive ceremony into the National Honor Society. Scholastic crowns of honor were placed upon the heads of Luther Barnhardt and Betty Sue White, Chief Marshals, who participated in the com- mencement exercises. It was then that we realized that our own graduation was strangely near. Our happy Junior days were dimmed, and our chagrin, obvious when we learned that no Junior-Senior Prom would be held that year. We were to miss the exciting thrills of orchids, formals, tux, and orchestra music, however, the juniors were not to be defeated. Some of them sailed for a week's vacation on the sunny beaches of Florida, free from books and study. Ethel Buckner, Joann Carson, Nick Peck, Orchard Hord, and Roy Davis were introduced as dramatic stars to the student body in their production of The Ugly Duckling. We left this Harbor anticipating our last year of high school. Cape Senior, at last! Our destination was now only an arm's length away. We were caught up in a whirl of activity-:he thrill of the feel of our new class rings, the ordering of invitations, academic gowns and mortarboards, and the choosing of mascots. New officers were elected to replace the old: Luther Barnhardt, Co-Captain, and Joann Carson, Millie Cline, and C. D. Sides, First, Second, and Third Mates, respectively. Jean Robinson was elected by the student body to serve as Chief Cheerleader, and Martha Faggart and Martin Jordan worked diligently as Editor and Business Manager, respectively, of THE SPIDER Wuls. Joann Carson graced the Concord Christmas parade as Queen of our school. Our class took on the dignity of Seniors. No longer did we have a higher class to look to. We felt that we had reached the very peak of perfection, our dreams were now a reality. The diploma that we had long coveted was soon to be ours. We have reached the end of our voyage. Ultimate success is ours, and from this experience we have gained im- measurable value. Dances, exams, sports, band-all these go together to comprise one great big perpetual memory! 25 H0'S WHAT Bm!

The year is 2021 and we are awaiting final orders from the Man In The Moon prior to our departure for Earth. fWe are two inhabitants of the Moon, in case you are wondering!J It seems that the 1951 class of Concord High School, Concord, North Carolina, U. S. A., is having their sevenlieth class reunion tonight in Sauvain Auditorium. Wishing to acquire a little more down-to-earth knowledge, we have decided to attend this celebration. Won't you join us? Ah, here we are already on the moonlit campus. Guess we'd better adjust our radar-equipped helmets and duck behind one of the trees so that we can detect every move- ment and let any loose news waves seep into our shock absorbers. joan Hagler has brought along several of her models and former classmates to add glamour to the occasion. They are jane Matthews, Carol McMahan, Doris Almond, and joann Carson. Carolyn McEachern, well known stock car enthusiast. is speeding up the driveway with her newest prospect for the big Roberta Race-jerry Jarvis, driver of the famous No. 2f3. Eury's Extraordinary Extermination seems to be well rep- resented tonight. Besides President Marvin, three of his loyal workers, Bill Little, Kay Davis, and Alex Helms, are also present. Ethel Buckner and Betty Sue White, two of the country's best known French instructors, are conversing with former classmate Roy Davis, who is now Mayor of the New Orleans French Colony. Ray Causby is now owner of Smilin' Ray's Mortuary. As faithful grave diggers first class, he has employed Ralph Drye and Sonny Morgan. Betty McDaniel and Edith McLester are managers of rival theaters in Siam. Also in the entertaining business are Billie Biggers and Aileen Ballard, who are co-owners of the Oasis, a night club located in Siberia. Carolyn Duncan's School for Secretaries abounds in capable assistants. Among them are Miriam Seymour, Patsy Ennis, Mary Ann Frye, and Betty joe Phillips. Among the athletes present tonight are Roy Long and Ken Kellough, who are playing badminton with the Chant Chant Prison Guards, Bill McEachern, prosperous ski in- structor in the Arabian desert: Richard Simpson, coach and playing shortstop of Cook's Crossing junior Legion Team, Pat and Tee Barnhardt and their manager, Millie 30 Cline, of the Twin Tornadoes Basketball Team: and john Barbee-five day member of a six day roller derby event. Perhaps not featured on the sports page but certainly head- liners are George Moose and Douglas McAnulty, fabulous pole sitters who have come down from their perches long enough to attend this joyous occasion. We also see that the reunion is honored by the famous movie star, Hollywood Bert Wellman, who is here to celebrate the premiere of his latest picture Old Black joe. The speaker for tonight's reunion and former Senior Class president is Luther Barnhardt, who is now the singing President of the U. S. Accompanying him on the piano is his secretary and White' House receptionist, jeannettc Wensil and his twin sister, Phoebe Barnhardt, who is now a Democratic Congresswoman. A great program of entertainment has been arranged by Lael Corzine, famous for her Broadway productions. On the program are: Ann Lyerly, renowned soprano, and Betty Hay, alto, both of McGraw's CThadj Grand Old Opry: Marilu Peck and Flora Furr-concert pianists with Cecilia Barnhardt's all-girl orchestrag and the Tempo Three Trio- Torbert Brewer, Robert Carriker, and Robert Barnhardt. Uncidentally, Oct Bost is the fourth member of this trio.J Also appearing on the bill tonight will be that ridiculously funny comedy team-jerry Rogers and Arnie Efird. The feature of the program, however, will be Louis Black and his magic violin. For the more serious side of the program, H. C. Newton has been asked to speak on his famous Newton's Theory of Australian Math. Peggy Blanchard and Phyllis Nations, good will delegates to Kannapolis, N. C., are to relate some of their latest experiences, while Miriam Cook and Barbara Shepherd are slated to speak on How Not To Be a Book- worm. It appears that the class of 'Sl has its share of prosperous businessmen. Take for instance Dale Rowe, who is now head of the Siberian Television Enterprises, and Nick Peck, who, during daylight hours, sells fruits and vegetables to his ardent fans who in turn attend his nightly performances in Hamlet And Eggs written by Archibald Haywood. Wallace Troutman is currently engaged in teaching Don Powers, John Talbert and Mark Goforth how to fly and dust crops at the same time. Martin jordan, lawyer, is pleading a case for jack Strawberry Blonde Malcolm, famous boxer and heart breaker. Sitting in Cor should we say swooning inj on the jury are Marlene Bost, jean Robinson, Anne Dees, Betty Armstrong, Carolyn Long, and Nancy Petty. Mary Dawn Hopkins is currently the owner of the midget autos at Daytona Beach, Florida where Carl Furr and Bobby Gandy are life-guards. Orchard Hord and joy Strawn have just completed plans for setting up an Alpha Theta Sorority at Davidson and Carolina respectively. Mack Long, popular T. V. comedian, is currently packing them in at the Stork Club with his latest song, l'm Glad I Made You Cry, Baby, Your Face is Cleaner Now. The class's two natural redheads-Pat Williams and Barbara Irvin-are the titian haired models for the ads sponsored by Tintair. Also employed by this agency are Martha Shoe and Charlotte Mabbetteboth blondes. Late arrivals to the reunion are Gene Andrews, publisher of the Roberta Review, and David Sides, chief canoe patcher and paddling instructor of the Shawnee Indian Tribe. Yes, Martha Faggart has succeeded! For her tireless re- search for the answer to The Thing, she has been award- ed the Nobel Peace Award. Since she has admitted being It we feel sure there will be peace of mind. . Authors abounded in the class of 1951. Present tonight are Millicent Cooper, Audrey Coley, and Helen Williams, who were co-workers on the Pulitzer Prize winning book, Talking--It's Easy. Also attending tonight's celebration are the following talented writers: Betty Poplin, Betty Sue Alexander, Betty Dorton, and Geraldine Garmon, each of whom have written books on How To Get Along With Men. Writers of the newspaper world present tonight include Becky Calloway, only female sports writer in the United States, who writes for the Boston Red Sox. CWhy did she change over from the Yankees?J Cora Mae Penninger, Pat Simpson, and Nancy Misenheimer are social reporters for the Alaskan Newspaper Enterprises. Of course everyone will be able to read all about this reunion in the syndicated gossip column, Between You and Me, edited by Dean Plot: in the local newspaper. Sorry, but that Hadacol-powered, supersonic, inter- planetary rocket is about ready to take off for the Moon again. We still have a curfew as we're only seventy years young up there!

PHIL Havwoon ETHLL Bucitm-.R Class Tesluforx SALUTATURY i BETTY Sue Wt-rrre We, the graduating class of l9Sl, deem it an honor to have each and every one of you here as guests at our com- mencement. You are the friends, relatives, and families who have been responsible for the success and happiness of our days at Concord High. You have helped to make them complete, and we are grateful beyond expression for it. Truly, these memories will be cherished in years to come when others have been forgotten. Tonight symbolizes the inevitable crossroads in our indi- vidual paths of life. The time has come for us to put ourselves to the test and to reap the harvest of our efforts. For many of us this is the final exit from the halls of learning. We are leaving behind us these glorious days. A poem by Richard Hovey paints a clear picture of it: You to the left, and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever- And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part fFor our ways are past our knowingj A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart, On the ways we all are going! Here's luck! For we know not where we are going. Our responsibility now is to manifest through our lives the benefits of the knowledge that we have accumulated thus far. We must not and will not let it become stagnant and useless, for in that manner we defeat our purpose. Others of us will follow the path of education using the experiences and associations of high school days as founda- tions upon which are laid the fruits of our minds to build for the future. The future extends a beckoning finger in our direction and we must follow. The way may be hard and insecure at times but that is not for us to know. The future may offer doubt, sorrow, hardship, or failure, but with the surpassing of these comes the ultimate goal, success. We shall have lived and we shall have attained only that which is high, noble, worthy, and good. Again we are proud to extend a heartfelt welcome to you and we only hope that your most sincere blessings and good wishes will follow us after our departure. VALEDICTORY LUTHER BARNHARDT, jx. ' Charles Dickens said in one of his editorials, We do not believe in stupidity as a common, natural gift. I dare say that there have been moments during the past six years when our teachers would have disagreed with Mr. Dickens, but taking everything into consideration, we feel that our periods of intelligence do, in a small degree, out- number our moments of stupidity. This is due largely to the interest and painstaking efforts of our faculty. If we have not profited by our educational opportunities the fault is ours, for tonight as we assemble here for the last time, we realize more than ever the advantages that have been ours and the way that the rugged path of learning has been smoothed for our stumbling feet. Members of the board of education: On behalf of the Class of 1951, I extend our heartfelt thanks for the educa- tional privileges you have made it possible for us to enjoy. There were times when our holidays could have been longer, but we merely mention that in passing, not reproachfullyg and if, in years to come, we prove to be worthy citizens of our great country, we hope you will remember us as a few of the many for whom you laid a foundation of learning, aspiration, and high ideals. To our superintendent, principal and teachers: Words are sadly inadequate to convey our emotions. Since the day we came to you eager, ignorant, and just a trifle frightened, you have given liberally of your time, experience and wisdom. You have borne patiently our youthful follies and encouraged whatever latent abilities you may have seen in us. There is no reward that can adequately compensate teachers for the good they do, but we hope that our grate- ful thanks may in slight measure show our appreciation and understanding. To you, our teachers, we can only say, paraphrasing the words of Daniel Webster, lf you work upon brass, time will efface it, if you rear temples, they will crumble to dust: but if you work upon immortal minds, if you imbue them with principles, with thc just fear of God and love of your fellow men, you engrave on those tablets something that will brighten to all eternity. Friends of the undergraduate classes, we part from you regretfully. We hope you will miss us sometimes, in the halls and in the class rooms. You who are about to become Seniors and take our empty places must strive to uphold the traditions of the Class of 'Sl. During our days here, we have striven so to conduct ourselves that our Alma Mater shall have benefited in some slight degree by our stay. Although we may have fallen far short of our attempted goal, at least we have tried, and it is more praiseworthy to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. Of course, you will not profit by our mistakes, and equally of course, you will not heed our advice, so we shall offer you nnne. Members of the Class of 1951: At last we have arrived at a goal which six years ago seemed so immeasurably distant. We feel that we have done well and we are proud of ourselves. True, there were a few occurrences during our scholastic career that we would not boast about: but we have endured all of our school life, liked most of it, and found some of it delightful. Graduation means a different thing to each of us, but I hope that we will think of it as a means to an end and not the end itself. Graduation marks the beginning of a new experience, either a higher course of study or entering life's school itself with its opportunities and responsibilities. After tonight each of us will go his own way, but having shared one another's joys and sorrows, success and failures for so long, it is hard for us to say goodbye. Our mutual friendship has been an inspiration and an incentive, which we shall miss in the future. Let us then, instead of saying farewell, keep happy memories of our years together, of the the ideals toward which we aspire, and of our High School, of whose noble teachings we would prove worthy.

Enrollment has been encouraging, and no doubt an increasing interest in stringed instruments will expand this phase of the music program in the next few years. The Strings Class is under the direction of Mr. Tritt and will provide a nucleus of players for an orchestra here at Concord High.

CHORUS The 1950-51 Chorus Class, composed of 79 members has been very active throughout the entire school year. After having completed an enjoyable Christmas program, the group began work on the contest music which they used at the District Music Contest in Salisbury, North Carolina. Various other musical programs were presented during the year, for the entertainment of the community as well as the student body of Concord High School. l Puck 61 UNIQR l CHORUS Donn.: .'Xycocls. liloyd l'a.irnh.irdt, .I.tnice Bean.

Coach Austin found much reserve strength from last year's B squad. While the offense was weak in scoring power, the defense was able to hold the opposition's scores to a minimum. I The facts that our arch-rivals, the Little Wonders, were held to a 0-0 tie by the Spiders in the annual Battle of Cabarrus, and that Roy Thomas won a position on the All-Conference Team because of his outstanding work as guard are well worth remembering.

Players from last year's team, Rob Bost, Richard Simpson, and jerry Smith will furnish that needed core about which Coach Austin will build. Although many old faces on the diamond will be missed, it is believed that the 1951 Spiders will shape into a fine ball club. 1951 SCHEDULE Plan' Team Plan' Thomasville Statesville Statesville Concord Albemarle Concord Concord Kannapolis Kannapolis XVinston-Salem Mooresville Concord Concord Kannapolis Concord Mooresville Albemarle Albemarle Asheboro Stutesville Concord Ifirxl Rout Don Vaughn, Mosc I.aFoy, Roy Clyburn, Ken Waddell, Henry Shanklc, Coach Frank Austin Kenny Austin, Larry Edwards, Gerald Talbert, Albert Brown, SUVUIIAI Rmr: Don Roberts, W'ylie Newton, Tommy Cledhill, Bobby Mills, Rodney Morrison, Bill Peden, lfugene Powers, Marvin liury, Richard Lapish.

The 1950-51 Spiderettes, under the leadership of Coach Austin, turned in many thrilling games with their fast, determined ball playing. Not only was the team sparked by five returning letter- men, but they were given more reserve power through the services of last year's B-Squad. With the discovery of Sybil Burleyson as a starting forward, along with the able services of Sally Scott and Tee Barnhardt, the Spiderettes soon developed an unexcelled scoring trio. Lael Corzine, Mickie Cook, and Patricia Earnhardt shared the limelight in the guard positions. Showing improvement over records set last year, the girls wound up the season with many wins and few defeats.

These organizations are the link between the students and teachers. During the past year the Assembly has sponsored many dances. Its main efforts have been to establish better public relations among the schools in this area and to achieve greater participation of the students in social and athletic events. Clean-up week, publication of the school handbook, The Wr'l1, the Kannapolis-Concord Dance, and a successful Sponsor's night for the football team were also sponsored. The Student Assembly is trying to build a good school and to hold high the democratic ideal that it represents.

The daily preparation of lunch in the cafeteria throughout the school year could not be carried on successfully without these willing workers, whose only glory is left-overs. During the year the Cafeteria assistants planned and presented programs for the purpose of learning more about proper meals.
