THE WOMAN’S COLLEGE | OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA | i | are The name Phantom has been chosen for this yearbook be- cause that name typifies the ideas and ideals of the stu- dents of Curry School. For many years the Phantoms of Curry have been noted throughout the state for their high ideals and noble achievements in athletics. It is not in athletics alone that the name Phantom characterizes the students of Curry. In every phase of student activity one sees the noble spirit of the Phantoms exemplified. The purpose of this annual is to portray the achievements and the aspirations of the Class of ’51 and of the faculty and the students of Curry High School. Re tion Mr. Herbert William Park The students dedicate their annual to a man who has long dedicated himself to students of Curry. His name is immediately associated with the Student Court, the Student Council, the “C” Club, the Honor Policy, and Athletics. At all times he has served the interests of the students and faculty. His warmth, understanding, magnanimity, and “know how” have won for him the respect, admiration, and love of the entire Curry Student Association. It is thus with deep gratitude and pride that we dedicate the Phantom to our beloved Coach... MR. HERBERT E. VAUGHAN, JR. Principal B.S. Wofford M. A.

A few weeks later the class was officially recognized after an arduous initiation and Freshman Frolic. The boys came to school dressed as girls—lipstick and other paraphernalia provided by upper- classmen, while the girls spent the day in mas- culine attire. At the Frolic the Freshmen enter- tained the upperclassmen by dressing as chil- dren under two years, by putting on skits, and by serving their masters for the evening. Vernon McFalls was elected president of the class the first semester, and Norma Herbin held that office for the second semester. The first activity of the class was to sponsor a cake sale in the 1947 P.T.A. Hallowe’en Carnival. The business ability of the class was proved early by its first place in carnival projects. In fact, they did so well that the P.T.A. has not needed to hold a carnival since. During the winter of 1947 the Honor Policy reached maturity and the Student Court began its first year. Both Freshmen boys and girls defeated the Sophomores at least once in intra- mural basketball. The Fifty-Ones had some excellent parties and homeroom programs that year and almost had a one-act play for assembly. Because the class could not get an assembly reservation, Belle, in which Carolyn Apple played the lead, was never enjoyed by the student body. Under Dr. Theodore Dalton’s principal- ship, the climax of the year was Hugh Med- ford, Jr.’s election to Citizen of the Month for his work as school photographer. Mr. Herbert E. Vaughan, Jr., formerly of Lee Edwards High School at Asheville, became principal of Curry as this noble class entered its Sophomore year. The students were deeply impressed with Mr. Vaughan’s “fireside chats” in which he informally stated his policies and his aspirations for the school. Curry has since recognized Mr. Vaughan for his honest and fair dealings with both students and faculty. The class had been joined by Mary Lou Bar- ham and Miriam Lewis from Lindley Junior High and Carolyn Turner from Central. The high spot of the Sophomores’ day was the first period Biology class when the entire class was together. The year was highlighted by a yo-yo craze in the fall and Latin and Spanish club meetings in the winter. Saunders Blalock and Billy Price served as presidents of the Spanish Club, and Donald Cone as president of Latin Club. A determined Sopho- more team entered the 1949 Piedmont Basket- ball Tournament. Norma Herbin became the first representative to the Student Court. That spring, following Curry’s most spirited elec- tion, Laura Joyce was elected Secretary-Treas- urer of the Student Body and Saunders Bla- lock became Social Chairman. During Sopho- more year, the Key Club was organized and the Point System was adopted. Mary Ann Stafford was presented the Spanish Award. The 1948-49 Student Council Scrapbook won first place in a statewide competition.

Gwen Clark, coming from Wilmington, N. C., joined the class; Warren Bird joined Norma on the Student Court; and Laura became president of the G.A.A. Joy reigned during the fall of ’49 since most of the boys in the class were getting or had earned driver’s license recently. Work on the handbook had begun with Mary Ann Stafford actively participating on the committee. After the mid-century mark, the class began work on the Junior play, The Campbells Are Coming, which proved to be the outstanding event of the year. Patsy Hargrove will long be remembered as the mountain maid, “Catalpa.” The Junior-Senior prom, sponsored by the class and held at Starmount Country Club, was a gay and colorful affair. The theme, “Stair- way To The Stars” had nothing on the starry- eyed dancers. Donald Cone won the presidency and Hugh Medford, the vice-prezidency of the school in the student election. Warren Bird and Mary Ann Stafford were tapped for National Honor Society. Quill and Scroll added Donald Cone and Warren Bird to its ranks. With Vernon McFalls at the helm, the mem- bers assumed the majestic role of Seniors. Warren Bird became president of the Key Club; Joan Paschal, co-editor of the Curryer; and Billy Price, head of the B.A.A.; Laura Joyce kept the leadership of the G.A.A.; Nor- ma Herbin was elected Chief Justice of the Student Court; and Billy Price and Gwen Clark joined the Judicial Body. Donald Cone received another coveted honor, membership in the National Honor Society. Norma Herbin, Mary Ann Stafford, and Joan Paschal were initiated into Quill and Scroll. Miss Ruth Shaver, the efficient and hard- working adviser for three years, resigned to accept a position in the Romance Language Department at Woman’s College. Mrs. Mary A. Hunter was appointed to advise the class the final year. Karly in the fall, the class received a green light from the faculty on tentative plans for a yearbook. The members succeeded in securing the necessary funds and in signing a contract with the Lassiter Press. The class launched into work on its Senior play, Reserve Two For Murder. A novel mystery, it was not only unique in its setting but crammed with surprises. Hugh Medford, Jr., Jimmy Conrad, Patricia Friddle, and Joan Paschal played outstanding roles. After the Phantom went to press, the class worked diligently on Class Night. An original play, with all members participating, was pre- sented May 23. Then the Fifty-Ones reached the greatest goal of all—Graduation. With mixed emotions of joy and sorrow, twenty newly-created alumni departed from Curry, thus ending four years of turbulent class history.

Although Curry won only three out of eight games, the Phantoms were never pushovers for their opponents. Yanceyville-came to Curry to hand the Phantoms their first defeat of the season, outscoring Curry 36-22 as a result of a fumble and a pass interception. The Phantoms scored their first victory over Cobb Memorial at Cobb. Allowing their foe to score only once, the Phantoms downed Cobb 20-6. In the hardest fought game of the season at Clemmons, Curry came out on the low end of a 33-24 score. Next, Curry traveled to Yanceyville to be beaten for the second time by a power- ful Yanceyville team 34-12. After this loss the Phantoms went to Thomasville to dazzle completely the Pilot gridders by some of Coach Park’s tricky plays. With the half-time score 25-0, the Phantoms coasted to a 31-6 victory. Curry gained a 50 per cent average in the next game by winning over Cobb 35-6 in a home game. The following week the team suffered a bitter defeat, falling before a rugged Jr. Order squad by a one- sided score of 50-20. Curry’s chance to regain a 50 per cent average was smashed by a 44-34 loss to Badin at Curry. This game completed the 1950 football season. 26 s - : : 4; BASKETBALL TRACK aietleln e Seated, left to right: John Oakley, Jack Mackay, Saunders Blalock, Billy Price, Vernon McFalls, Lowell Jones, Dick Smith. e Standing: Richard Ingram, Rodney Williams, Stephen Friedlaender, Marion Garrison, Reggie Cude, Coach Park. pare, e Left to Right: Coach Park, Donald Cone, Melvin Litch, Sidney Gordon, Rodney Williams, Sonny Gillespie, Vernon McFalls, John Oakley, Vaden Wagoner, Jr., Saunders Blalock, Herbert Johnson. 28 ee er ae ; ] : : | SENIOR CHEERLEADERS Left to Right: Carolyn Turner, Patsy Hargrove, head; Juel Rogers, Pat Friddle, Louise Collins.

We don't pretend to be athletic experts, because our job is to manufacture high quality textile products. But as sporting fans we think it would be safe to say that an athletic champion is the result of all these fine qualities. We know that it has taken a combination of great leadership, manufacturing know-how, careful planning, employee loyalty, and skilled teamwork to make Burlington Mills a champion in the textile industry. The Company's many accomplishments and progressive growth during the past 27 years are well known. We are proud of this record and equally proud of our 32,000 employees who have worked together with real team spirit as members of the Burlington team. It's a fact that Burlington's fine fabrics, hosiery and other textile products are truly Woven Into the Life of America” — just as every Burlington plant is woven into the life of its own community. ur ington Mills ““Woven into the Life of America”™’ ExEecutive Orricres: GreENsporo, N.C.

All the photo- eraphs are in, the copy typed, and the dummy completed. A mere dream is about to become a reality. We wish to thank the business men of Greensboro, both advertisers and sponsors. Without their generosity this annual would have been impossible. To the Merchants Association also goes our appreciation for their cooperation. We extend our deepest gratitude to Mr. Herbert E. Vaughan, Jr., the Curry faculty, and the student body for their interminable aid in our work. To Mr. A. A. Wilkinson, of the Woman’s College News Bureau, we give our thanks for his patience and understanding in all our “shutter bug” troubles. There is not space enough for us to write everything we wish about the splendid work of the staff. Efficiency and cooperation were exemplified by the Phantom staff. Students who have received little recognition are the typists and writers who are not official staff! members. To Carolyn Apple, Betty Sue Creger, Patsy Har- grove, Gwen Clark, Laura Gayle Joyce, Joan Paschal, Marietta Allen, Juel Rogers, Pat Friddle, and Saunders Blalock we extend our heartiest thanks for their services. We offer our gratitude to Mr. Frank Fleming of the Lassiter Press for his invaluable assistance. Without these people, and possibly others, the staff would never have been able to produce this first volume of the Phantom.
