mmmmmmmmw- Haywood County Public Library Waynesville THE SENIOR CLASS CRABTREE-IRON DUFF HIGH SCHOOL Presents THE YELLOW JACKET 1956 FOREWORD The Annual Staff has in these few pages tried to capture some parts of the work, the play, the serious¬ ness and the gaiety which have made our high school days a magic time. We hope that as you turn through the pages of the Yellowjacket in years to come, it will bring the joy of reminiscence to all who remember the class of 1956. We would like to thank all the merchants for their co-operation in making this annual possible. The as¬ sociation we have had with them has been a real pleas¬ ure . To our beloved teachers and parents we say, “Thanks for your patience with the staff and for your gracious attitude toward making our Yellowjacket a success DEDICATION We dedicate . . . To our Parents and Teachers Our Guiding Light . . . you with our troubles and heart-aches and now that we are Seniors we wish to dedicate our an¬ nual to our Parents and Teachers in thanks for the endless hours you have spent for us. Many times we have strayed from the right path, but you were ever there with a helping hand to guide us back again. Now that we stand here on the threshold of a new life we pause for a mo¬ ment to try to tell you just how much you have meant to us in the past and how much you will meanto us in ourfuture success. You truly have been our guiding light. -■ nS-M ADMINISTRATION County Superintendent Mr. Lawerence Leatherwood School Committeemen: Mr. Cassius Rogers, Mr. Kimsey Pal¬ mer, Mr. Marshall Kirkpatrick.

CLASS HISTORY On a bright, challenging day in August, 1944, a group of forty-five big-eyed, curious little boys and girls got our very first glimpse of the enormous building that was to be home for twelve years. And those upper classmen! How many, how strange, and oh, how big they were. Slowly, yet steadily, we studied our way through each grade until we became freshmen again--high school freshmen. Mr. Nesbitt and Mrs. Noland were our class advisors. That year it happened--we were initiated i n t o F.F.A.and F. H. A. There were thirty-six of us. Thirty-seven was the number in the sophomore class when we returned to take revenge upon the poor freshmen. Mrs. Kirkpatrick was our advisor. When we returned as juniors, we had lost eight of our mates. Shirley Plemmons wa s president that year, andMrs. Kirkpatrick was our advisor. To increase the class pocket- b ook’s contents, we sold shampoo. We ordered our rings and gave the one and only “Miss Minerva and William Green Hill.’’ The play was a success. The last big event of the third year was the party generously known as the Junior-Senior Banquet which we gave for the seniors. The theme was “Over the Rain¬ bow.” When our senior year came, we were really excited. There was so much to be done: invitations had to be selected and or¬ dered; calling cards had to be ordered, too (for what’s an invi¬ tation without the name of the sender ?); diplomas had to be se¬ lected and ordered; caps and gowns had to be measured for; a play had to be produced; examinations (horrors I) had to be tak¬ en and passed; sixteen units (of the right kind) had to be earn¬ ed; the Yellowjacket had to be assembled for the publisher; and we had the exhilirating feeling of waiting for the invitation to the Junior-Senior Banquet..., and our diplomas! George Kirkpatrick was president during the senior year. Mr.McElroywas our class sponsor. We had a good time plan¬ ning our senior trip, the last details of a senior’s year, and the twenty-six of us finally came to the last...the day we had work¬ ed and wfa’ited for for twelve years....

KING AND QUEEN GEORGE KIRKPATRICK and MARTHA ANN CALDWELL CLASS PROPHECY Who was it that said there were no signs of success in the hearts of the 1956 seniors at “good ole C. I. D.’’? Was it you? Ah,yes,no doubt. But, did you know-- George Kirkpatrick is a number one ceramic engineer, now working at Dayton Rubber Company. Mrs. L. B. Liner, the former Miss Jean Crawford, is president of the Waynes- ville Woman’s Club. Way Kinsland is affiliated with Honeycutt Company. He is manager of the fleet of stores on wheels . Roger McElroy is now in the “chips”; he is a retired bus driver. Doris Ann Messer, B a r ba ra Smith, and Louise Presnell are distributors for Party Line Shampoo in Haywood County. Gene Parks is the best hot rod driver in North Carolina . He has won several Mexican road races. Virgil Matthews is owner of a productive saw mill on Rush Fork. Spencer McCracken, a fair pitcher when he was in high school, is now a pitcher, the best, on the Yankee roster. Shirley Plemmons completed work on her Master’s Degree and is now on the faculty at Western Carolina College. Doyle Brown has been employed at Champion Paper and Fibre Company for some time. Martha Ann Caldwell is a press photographer for The Asheville Citizen . Grover Lee Bradshaw is a cowpuncher on a large ranch in Texas. Helen Hill is putting on an exhibition bout tonight. She is the world champion lady wrestler. Boyd Fisher and Jimmy Lee Best are partners in the Fisher-Best Motor Com¬ pany in South Clyde.

Adeline Best is at the head of the kindergarten school, a well-established part of the Crabtree-Iron Duff School.

Louise Best and Dorothy Arrington are two of the best carpenters in Haywood County. -and now it is 1966. As I think in retrospect over the past ten years, I mar¬ vel at the success and happiness that seem to cling to the members of my class in 1956.

To the faculty we leave all our appreciation for a wonderful senior year. We hope for each much success. To the juniors we leave the privilege of publishing a great publication. The Yel- lowjacket. To the sophomores we leave the job of giving the Junior-Senior Banquet during their junior year. To the freshmen we leave a good example of how to stay in school four years, and we surely hope they will make it easier than we have. Individual bequests are as follows; Dorothy Arrington wills to Hilda Rector her skill with the typewriter-c.w.p.m. 59 at the end of the second semester. Louise Best wills her basketball suit toAzalee McCracken, hoping that she will use it as well as she has. Autry Best wills his mischievous ways to Ned Crawford. J immy Lee Best wills his laziness to another J im - - Jim Gillett, provided he thinks he can go through life playing a harmonica and composing songs.

Adeline Best wills her love for good homemaking to Beverley Chambers. Carolyn Bryson wills her ability of trying to “go steady” to Hilda Sanford. Martha Ann Caldwell leaves her love for writing letters in history class to Mildred Hill.

Virgil Matthews wills all his good times to Max Sanford. Roger McElroy wills his height to Duane Bryson, and with it he hopes it will in¬ crease Duane’s height by two or three feet. Spencer McCracken wills his ability to tell tall tales and cranky jokes to A. L. Matthews. Doris Messer wills toMabel Stevenson everything thatbelongs to her at C. I. D. Gene Parks wills to Charles Parks his ability to make romantic speeches pro¬ viding he does not make them to Lib. Shirley Plemmons wills her love for cutting hair to June Smith hoping that a permanent beauty shop may be started at C. I. D. Louise Presnell wills her temper to Ruth Gillett with the understanding that she control it. Barbara Smith wills her comb, brush, and mirror to Mary Sue McCracken.
