ay MARTIE ANN Yow Editor MARIE TAYLOR HASSELL Business Manager THE 1953 PHANTOM PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF Curmy High Sar THE WOMAN’S COLLEGE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA o FOREWORD 4 Each school year opens and closes with the echoes of our school song. For you, the staff of the 1953 Phantom has attempted to interpret the true meaning of that song. We have tried to translate into pictures the melody which symbolizes life at Curry—the grace notes of happiness, the bass chords of study, the crescendos of victory, the diminuendos of defeat, the sharps, the flats, and the general harmony which exists among faculty and students. As you turn the pages, may you realize more deeply the privileges and responsibilities which are yours when you cheer for Curry High. a Pyare ie atin olty oe oe 3 3 ci age SG aS Me Maa a SN DEDICATION For her deep consideration and understanding of her students, we admire her; for her work with the student government, we praise her; and for her guidance, we esteem her. There- fore, the staff dedicates the 1953 Phantom to Miss Anne M. Kreimeier as a gesture of appreci- ation to one who has made the school song a living force in our high school. Miss ANNE M.

You are graduated. You are no longer a Curry student. You no longer will watch the familiar clocks, anticipating the last bell; you will no longer race down the steps to the cafeteria, or study for exams in the library. The notes of the school song are muted now, and the tempo is slow; but the music remains. It flashes from every nook and corner of our city and state and reechoes in the good citizenship of the men and women who have graduated from Curry High. We push ahead to Victory . .

Man- made fibers, new products of the chemist’s test-tube, have been a major contributor to this textile progress. A small textile producer in 1923, Burlington Mills believed in the future of rayon—an early man-made fiber. In the past 28 years Burlington has become a leader in the development and production of beautiful, durable and high-quality filament, spun and knit synthetic fabrics. From one plant with approximately 200 employees, our Company has grown to include 73 manufacturing plants in 48 communities of eight states and four foreign countries. Employing 34,000 people, Burlington is today the world’s largest producer of synthetic fabrics, and it is a recognized leader in the designing, development, research, merchandising and fashion fields as well as manu- SS = a SS = Ws SS RES St SX AVES 1 facturing. If you are a young man or woman looking for a place in industry, we think you should consider textiles—and Burlington.

Since September, we've planned and worked for the Phantom. We've had lots of laughs—saying “‘cheese’’ for the photographer practically every other day paying daily visits to the W. C. News Bureau to see Mr. Wilkinson whom we have fondly tabbed “Mr. Wilkie’’—straightening brawls which started out as staff meetings—struggling to get all the Senior proofs in. There have been the more serious moments—the conferences with Mr. Fleming—the efforts to have every picture “just so’—and the constant quest for money, always money! We offer our sincere gratitude to the Senior Class for assistance and under- standing; to each member of the student body for willingness to wait patiently; to the assistant Phantom staff who will follow in our footsteps; to Susan Graham, Raymond Creger, Jane Kirkman, and Babs Swain for valuable technical assistance; to Mr. A. A. Wilkinson for helping us meet the deadline; and to Mr. Vaughan for his interest in our progress. 55 LASSITER CORPORATION CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA eS flail is ys Par eet panne: ordeels Aan, - ee or is es Ha Mg a7 : a Bah Ria een Cam ™ nln Se ae ey P = a S a eaclal 5 sts Sint es a SPs BSS a sr ae ees ae) eka ea AT aR Bir aah ae ee es ee ee eee See ae Pe PE ji os Si tie eS Ge : net E NS ae (BE, ea Zaheer RET Be eee Pts ake ee idee fal e ae = ean J sat, ben ey eee ded raid Roa go ee - I Ne AT Say go gi cages i vee NE atte tlie a ening ty Se . pe = et % Re SN oe tae | Bi ae 3; Sa iy 75 Lan wnat oe sae See ro : ese “ 4 F hij am?
