BRooDEN whose patience, kindness, energy, sportsmanship, and Christian lead- ership have been an inspiration to all of us who have known him. Several of his teams have won- championships: many of his boys have distinguished themselves on college teams and in the Armed Services: but most important of all, his teams and his athletes always have developed confidence, aggressiveness, initiative, and the spirit of fair play. It is becoming a tradition that Brogden-coached teams not only possess the ability to play the game well, but also possess those character traits that gain for them respect at home and abroad, The influence that Coach Brogden has had upon our lives forever endears him within our hearts.

What is the meaning of this tear Can it be that it is fear Of what the future may hold, For each senior meek or bold? But let us use this tear Asa crystal ball so clear. We see now what this clear drop means To her it symbolizes scenes- Scenes of fun and toil and play That filled her life thru each long day. lVlem'ries of teachers kind and dear XVho steered her paths from year We see the seniors scattered far, Each pursuing some fixed star. Boys struggling, the world to save, Girls who live their lives so brave, All her friends of former days Working, going various ways. And thru this tear we see today ln corners near and far away. The burden pass from old to young To reconstruct in deeds unsung. And Vi'e must, we can, we surely will. vacant places we must fill, P to year, JEAN GARDNER JACK TOWNSIEND HIILIFN ANTHONY Page Ten SE ICR CLASS OFFICERS JOHN WEBB ..., President JACK OVERMAN . .

Coon High School. We were as pebbles dropped into an ocean of a broader education- the circle of knowledge ever growing and ever widening into spheres of greater influence. As the first ripple flowed from the tiny center, we found ourselves enterf ing the seventh grade. At this time we were unpolished pebbles with many rugged edges to be smoothed: consequently we found ourselves making many mistakes as we tried to adjust ourselves to the new environment. But time passed quickly and soon brought another ripple to our view. This one, slightly larger than the first, carried us over to the eighth grade. As Mr. S. Cn. Chappell had become Superintendent of City Schools, his oflice of principal was taken over by Mr. Zeb B. Vance. During this year the twelfth grade was added to the curriculum. Examinations became a part of our regular school program, and a course in physical education further enriched our cur- riculum. Thus the second ripple expanded into the third. ln the fall of 1940 we became full-fledged freshmen. This year found us under the capable supervision of Mr. J. M. Hough. A new club, the Honor Citizenship Club, was organized to which honorary members were elected by each home room. The Junior Carnival came into being during this year and proved to be a great success. Still growing, the fourth wave of knowledge came, leading us into the tenth grade. The fall of 1941 found us completely overjoyed as the school annual lfor the Hrst time in twelve yearsj was sent to the press. Again the carnival was given. this time to help supply the necessary money for the publication of the COCOON. During this year, some of the girls of the class assisted in the program for the Junior-Senior Prom. In December of 1941 the student body heard with sorrow the news of Pearl Harbor. After the declaration of war we saw many of our friends, both students and faculty members, enter the armed services. By aiding the Red Cross and the defense programs, we tried to do our bit. The next of the ever-widening circles carried us into our Junior year. Some new adjustments were made in the curriculum in order that we might be better prepared to carry on our work during war time. The Victory Corps was one of the new oganizations which received the enthusiastic support of the students. The students assisted in the scrap and tin can drives of the city. We were very proud that year when our school was the leader for the entire state in buying War Bonds and Stamps for the purchase of army jeeps. Twenty-four jeeps were purchased to do their share in the protection of our country. During the year we selected our class officers and planned the fourth annual carnival. We donated to the Red Cross the money which we made at the carnival. Also. we sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom in the school gymnasium. Gradually the ripple of the Junior year faded from view, and finally another and a broader ripple brought us to our Senior year. We enjoyed our title of DigniHed Seniors. As the year advanced, many activities claimed our atten- tion. The Junior Carnival was sponsored and ruled over by Miss Merry Christmas. As seniors, we entered into all the Bond Drives and defense pro- grams. As the days passed, many of our boys continued to enter the armed services of our country. Thus the circle grew and widened into spheres of greater influence. Though the last ripple of our high school career is in sight, its joys can never fade from our memories. Authors: ALBERTA MERCER.

Transcending both time and space, it can take us to the New York City of 1954-the city ot' brilliance, gaiety, laughter, and merry-making. Won't you come along 'I Are you ready 'Z Well, we're off! Oh, look below! There's the famous 21 Club, popular long before the ancient days of 1944. Let's stop in to listen to the music. The melodious voice of Anne Branch blends beautifully with the music of a famous swing band. The director is none other than Willie Gray Sasser, who is now known as the King of the Ivories. The master of cere- monies, Jerry Morris, introduces the Roxyettes, among whom we recognize Frances Bridgers, Rita Labaki, Carolyn Shackleford. Alice Herring, Alpha Jones, and Dorothy Lancaster. Through the haze of smoke and the confusion of loud voices. we discover Darlene calling out in a husky voice. Cigarettes l We find that the owner of that voice is Betsy Barnes. Now we hear cheering: and as all eyes turn to the stage, we see performing a fan dance Jacqueline Speight, known now as Bubbles Weary of the constant commotion, we decide to journey on to another spot, We arrive at Radio City, where Annie Mae Dickerson. a famous star, is featured in a play entitled The Garbage Can. As we enter the theater, we hear hysterical screams and see women fainting as Fredi Swoonatra begins to croon. We recognize the soft-voiced singer as our class- mate, John Webb, who marie his debut singing Bloody War on the Charles L. Coon High School stage. On the platform with the singer sits Mrs. Fredi Swoonatra, who before her marriage was Miss Mary Helen James. Sauntering down the aisle behind the head usher, Tom Allgood. comes Countess Anton von Holstine, who.chats gaily with the members of her foreign party in what we suppose to be French, Russian, German. and Spanish. Ten years ago she was Elizabeth Graves. Elizabeth's interest in linguistics has borne good fruit. As the curtain falls and we weave our way through the milling crowd, we notice that the center of attraction is Nancy Forbes, the Number One debutante of the season, and her escort, Tom Graves, Jr. We remember them as the mas- cots of the 15944 graduating class of the Charles Il. Coon High School. Jumping on our magic carpet, we fiy to Coney Island. At the entrance gate we find Rupert Stott busily engaged in selling tickets. As we stroll along the midway, we meet a group of light-hearted cosmopolitans who have been taking a trip through the slums of the city. They are Lauradell Davis, Zora Johnson, Edith Williford, Margaret Pittman, Frances Creech, and Evelyn Goff. Entering the tent of the fortune teller, we find ourselves gazing at the crystal ball. Behind the crystal sits Daisy Driver, draped in lavish robes of gold and crimson. Smilingly she predicts great wealth and happiness for us. As we leave her sanctum, we meet the prominent criminal lawyer, R. A. Grady, Jr., and his wife, the former Edythe Jordan. Now we see Roland Page fieecing the public with his automatic back scratcher. Gazing toward the merry-go-round, we notice Fred Salecby, Hal Hutcherson, David Green, J. E. Provo, and Marvin Curlin having a childish fling on the hobby horses. As we pass the tunnel of love, we catch a glimpse of Rose- mond Murad, Dan Griffin, Doris Page, Perry Wheeler, Curtis Pearson, and Willodine Smitherman as they come floating in from their journey. A series of freaks in front of a side show now attracts our attention. The first is Tommy Banks, the strong man. laboriously lifting weights. Next to him stands D. C. Bras- well, the thin man. Third in line is Fletcher Teel, who per- forms the amazing feat of swallowing a sword. Elizabeth Jones, the snake lady, throws a mysterious charm over huge reptiles. Betty Brannon as the three-legged woman attracts much attention from the crowd. Along the midway we find George Thompson, Hubert Holly. and Bobby Eagles, acting as patrolmen. They make very enicient cops. As we follow the crowd to the Dime-a-Dance Ballroom, we meet C. J. Glover, Bobby Boswell, and Sid Barnes. Together we enter the ballroom. The hostesses for this evening are Doris and Mae Buchanan, Virginia Jones. Daisy Taylor, Vir- ginia Barnes, Mary Ethridge, Hilda Felton, and Frances Godwin. Lovely music is furnished by Frances Whitley's all- girl orchestra. Her ragtime drummer, Dorothy Rackley, is beating out a tune to the accompaniment of Flossie Speight's clarinet. An added attraction is the famous dance team! Marjory Ballard and C. J. Parker. Later in an open-air kitchen, we find Josie Walton, Dor- othea Taylor, and Mary Ella Whitley preparing their latest concoctionAtoasted soybeans! Page Twenty-six Tiring of Coney Island, we return to our Magic Carpet and venture toward the Metropolitan Art Gallery, where we ad- mire the modernistic paintings of Therese McGeady and Dorothy Quick. As we leave the gallery, we hear the barbaric shouts of a newsboy, praising the marvelous skill of the Chicago Bears, who have just completed a remarkable sea- son. Their success has been due to the thrilling feats of Jack Gillette, Oakley Beland, and Jack Overman. Seeking intellectual guidance, we attend a debate in which the participants-Alberta Mercer, Mary Glen Slater, Mildred Lamm, and Frieda Deans-are debating the query Should Centipedes Wear Shoes? The debate ending in a victory for the negative, we strug- gle out to attend a fashion show at Henri's -an exclusive ladies' shop. As we enter, we are welcomed by Henri, the French dress designer. Who would have thought ten years ago that Romeo Markham would be a dress designer? Miracles never cease! We take our seats and gaze around in wonder at the array of beautiful designs. Our eyes fall on five lavishly dressed women, resplendent in furs and diamonds. As they draw nearer, we recognize them as Dorothy Mattox, Betty Jeffries, Betsy Glover, Naomi Saulter, and Becky Herring. Our attention is now drawn to the stage where several Powers models are strolling around. We see Jean White wearing a stunning black sequin-trimmed evening gown. Alice Brinkley is modeling a red bathing suit, while Jean Gardner displays the latest in a silver fox coat. Marguerite Noe models a beautiful dinner gown. Frances Phillips as mis- tless of ceremonies announces the close of the style show. After leaving Henri's shop, we go in search of food. We enter an elaborate cafe on Broadway. The proprietor, Joe Davis Patterson, looking very handsome in his tuxedo, eyes his customers critically. As we take our seats, the head- waiter, Billy Beaman, strides over to us, raving about the restaurant's new French cook, who is none other than Marie Turner. After enjoying a delicious meal, We pay the cashier, Mary McGowan, and take our departure. After walking a bit, we find ourselves in front of one of the many Quality Five-and-Ten-Cent stores. It is under the management of Helen Miller, Ernestine Lewis, Mary Lou Davis, and Melba Eason. They owe their success to McClellan's in Wilson. We now decide to go to the Empire State Building. As we turn the corner, we pass two girl pilots-Joyce Brewer and Geraldine Williamson. Following close at their heels and making subtle advances is Mac Bissette, wealthy cattle ranch- er, who in turn is followed by his body guards, John Dillard and Jack Townsend. Across the street we see Horace Overman in the window of a drugstore. He is displaying his latest invention-the mechan- ical toe nail cutter. His able assistant, Hilda Gray Riley, is demonstrating the instrument to the crowd. Giving him close competition in the adjoining window is Jimmy Martin, who is reading The History of Dogs through a loud speaker. The sound effects are contributed by Mae Sharp Griffin, who punctuates the end of each sentence with a bark. Hurrying on our way, we finally reach our destination- the Empire State Building. As we enter the famous building, we meet Helen Anthony, who has a position as doorman in this, the world's tallest structure. We join a party of sightseers who have as their conductor Elsie Smith. She takes us into the basement of the building where we meet Jack Smith the supervisor, who is instruct- ing Mary Alice Scott in the methods of window Washing. Lois Massey, his secretary, is taking down his speech in shorthand. As we board the elevator, we find Patsy Smith working the complicated instruments which carry us swiftly from floor to floor. On the wall of the elevator is a large poster. We recognize Cal Woodard who is pictured eating Crackly Crunchesf' This is a new breakfast food which is put out by Helen Barnes. the breakfast food magnate. Stepping from the elevator, we gaze out over the Great White Way. It seems to symbolize our hasty visit. We realize that it is time to bring our visit to a close. Rolling out our carpet, we take our places. As we glide serenely through the air, we bid a silent farewell to this great city of opportunities and fulfilled dreams.

The Citizenship Club. under the able direction of Mrs. Ben Eagles. has taken a very active part in school activ- ities this year. It has been in charge of all of the War Loan Campaigns in high school. as well as the various town and community drives for the Red Cross. Infantile Paralysis Fund. and the Tuberculosis Seals. During the Hrst part of the year, members of the club sold forget-me-nots for the benent of the Disabled American Soldiers of both World Wars. They have also sponsored a drive for collecting old records. to be re-processed and sent to our boys overseas. A War Stamp Booth has been operated in the lunch room during the entire school year. These are only a few of the things our Citizenship Club has done. We hope it will do as well every year. 75? ,hwmwumaww n.. Lol 3 X P yy, , .

It sells notebooks. pencils, and all school supplies in addition to textbooks and workbooks. The store's main object is the accommodation of the students rather than profit, But what profits are made go to the Charles L. Coon High School Memorial Scholarship Fund. This money is used in the way of a loan to help former students who want to attend the University of North Carolina. The storeis sponsored by Mr. Underwood. This year his helpers have been Mary Helen James. Jack Kirkland, and John Webb. Page Forty-one in 6' ffkev RADIOGRAM TAFF The Rcldiogram is the high school newspaper.

The 1943-44 Diversiiied Occupations Class has contributed 450 man-hours toward victory every Week by Working part-time. At the same time they have received valuable training and instruction in their chosen occupations. During the past five years, students have been trained for more than twenty- five different occupations. These graduates, many of Whom are now ollicers, are distinguishing themselves in every branch of the Armed Service. For their sacrifice, for their unsellish and meritorious service, we say: Thanks a lot. May God bless each one of you and return you to us when the job is done.

The groups are divided up into platoons and squads with sergeants who act as drillmasters commanding them. This organization has done much toward conditioning the boys for army life and has given them a taste of discipline such as they will he subject to later on. . G gg, 54?

The class is taught by the use of phonograph records approved by the Signal Corps. U. S. Army, and the instruction has followed along lines suggested by a manual prepared by the War Department. The class began by learning individual letters and numbers in code and has progressed steadily, By the end of the year they hope to be able to send and receive twelve words per minute in radio code. 75 . , ,ff -,f Y Auf?

The 1943 edition of the Charles L. Coon High liootball team was in more ways than one a very successful one. The Cyclones won four games, tied one, and lost six. In their openers with Greensboro and Maury High of Norfolk the team was just getting a taste of their hard schedule. They lost to Greensboro 26-0 and to Maury 14 to 0. but played an outstanding defensive game against Maury. The next game on the slate was Goldsboro and the Cycs took this one 7-6. After edg- ing out the 'Quakes the Cyclones lost to Raleigh's pow- erful Caps 25-6. The next week the team stayed home and trounced Oxford Orphanage 46-ll. After this the Cyclones took a 19-6 beating from their old rival. Rocky Mount, in a non-conference game. but the next week traveled to Durham to trample the Bulldogs ll-0, The following week the Cyclones took to the road again and traveled to take a hard fought loss from the hands of Fayetteville's Highlanders by the score of 2-l to 19. The Cycs stayed home for the next two games and in the first one broke in a deadlock tie 0-0 with Wilmington. The next week, Nov. 12. the Cyclones avenged a licking taken at the first of the year by trounc- ing Rocky Mount's Blackbirds 14 to 0 in the con- ference battle. Then in a Turkey Day game to raise money to buy sweaters for the lettermen. the Cyclones lost to the Wildcats of Wilniingtcin Zl-l4 in the sea- side city. During the season the Cyclones scored ll8 points to their opponents' l-ll. But there is a lot more than just those scores be- hind the Cyclones of I9-H, Think just a minute and see if you can remember a single time when the team got down on itself. It had good team spirit through- out the whole season and look what Coach Brogden has coming back out of this year's squad. At ends he has Harry Lamm and Dick Gregory: at tackle he has Bennett lilowers and alternate tackle and guard Julian Barker: at guards are Bobby Hackney and Charlie Lig- gon, and centers Paul Rausch and Jim Blount. ln the backfield Brogden has Troy Barnes. Jay Clark. and Clyde Sullivan. Both the linemen and backs have seen plenty of action this year. Coach Brogden also has a well developed group of boys coming up from the Junior Team who will be ready to hop in for any position he needs filled at any time. In closing you can readily see that the Cyclones will be ready next year and the year hasn't been a bad season at all. quppnmqt-Q-... M i.. ....... egg f First rurtu' Beztmon, Glover, II.

Coon High School basketball team ended 1 J their season with what might at first be called an unsuccessful year but actually it was very successful. Boys have gained experience in team play and the game itself, and we will lose only two members of this year's squad by graduation. We defeated Needham Broughton and Hugh Morson High of Raleigh. Besides these the boys played excellent games against Rocky Mount, Fayetteville, and Wilmington. only to lose by a few points. So you see, we did not have a bad season at all, as a matter of fact we probably will be hot next year, so watch out for those Charles L. Coon cagers, our bet for Class A Champion- ship in 1945. The 1944 squad was as follows: Bud Ruffin, Zob Cannon, Billy Beamon, Tunny Brooks. Robert Drake, Boise Barnes, Horace Overman, Bennett Flowers, Jay Clark. C. J. Glover, Cieorge Saleeby, Val Brooks, James Strick- land, Charles Anthony, Milton Moore, James Ikner, Vernon Morton, Thorpe Smith, Billy Pittman. Robert Overman, Marshall Long, Ferebee Shaw. L-ly!

The Cyclones won every conference game they played but one. This one they lost to Raleigh. By winning these games. they clinched the Eastern Class A Crown. They also won all of their non-conference games. Next they played Greensboro, the winner of the Western Crown. Greensboro went down by the score of 10 to 2. This victory made the Cyclones champions of North Carolina. Answering a challenge from the Champions of Virginia. Maury High of Norfolk. the Wilsonians defeated the Virginians by the score of 7 to 1. Outstanding on the team was J. D. Thorne, who pitched all of the conference games and the two title games. Buck Davis. captain of the team, and Joe Eulghum were outstanding among the batters.
