We have worked hard and diligently in its preparation. We sincerely hope that this yearbook will be a treasure to your memories as the years go by. Perhaps you'll try to forget those club initiations, those rainy days you got wet Waiting on the bus or walking to school, those days when everything seemed to go backward . . . But you'll always remember those basketball games, those class parties, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and day of graduation. But through it all each of those incidents is a mile- stone in our quest for a better education physically and mentally. Qedicafion To Miss Betty McGrary, a willing and loyal advisor, we proudly dedicate this annual. She has been an example to us in her friendliness, her quick smile and her devotion. In dedicating this annual to her We wish to express our appreciation for all she has done for us. w I MR. J. H. BUNN Principal, English MISS MILLER Fifth and Sixth Grade THE FACULTY .-4991? 2007!

'1T? M:f : lifes journey .Begins Oh! Seniors the time has almost come That we must start on our life's journey run. just four years ago we entered high school as freshmen And there many friendships for us to win. 3 Through that year of hard work and play, We again returned to D. T. for another school day. Now we were the happy Sophomores, With a cheerful and wilful smile we did our chores. Through that year everyone was happy and gay, But yet we realized we had not long to stay. The summer days passed quick and vacation days were We became Juniors and advanced a step once more. To become a Senior was our dream most high in mind, Our third year drew to a close and was left behind. This year 1948 marks the end of our high school career, All of us are proud of the things we did here. To Mr. Bunn, our principal, we are very thankful For his kindness, encouragement, and helpfulness. To the teachers with friendships we love so true, o'er We are proud of the hard work and play we shared with you We the class of '48 to our Alma Mater, we bid goodbye, The friendships we made will forever in our hearts lie, Farewell to everyone for in our hearts we shed tears As the pattern of life unfolds through the years. Oh! Classmates with friendships true, Our journey in high school is almost through. With our motto: Success awaits at labor's gatef' Seniors, now let us remember it is never too late. And now our high school journey must end, And our life's long journey must begin. HERBERT GENE Class Poet CROTTS, SENIUR CLASS HISTURY Today, we the class of 1948 are anticipating our graduation which is so near at hand. We have worked hard twelve years for this and during that time many changes have taken place in our class. In order that we may revive old memories and live again experiences we think it is indeed neces- sary to record our history. In August, 1944, thirty-three of us awkward and shy boys and girls entered the portals of Davis Townsend School and demanded a high school education. That year was marked by our first class parties, which were numerous and very enjoyable. Our home room teacher was Mrs. Fred Smith. That year we gained Colleen Hedrick and lost Lera Swing and Ruby Dorsett. We were led by the following class officers: President, Kenneth Swing, Vice-President, Theda Burkhartg Secretary, Lera Swing, and Treasurer, Eugene Younts. Came next August, 1945, we entered school again and this time were no longer the goat of the school and on the receiving end of all practical jokes. We were know-it-all Sophs. Our advisor was Miss Lillian Jones and our class officers were: President, Kenneth Swing, Vice-President, Eugene Yountsg Secretary and Treasurer, Theda Burkhart. We gained that year Tommy Lee while we lost Vanhoy Hines to the Navy and also Charlotte Tuttle, Mary Lee Younts, Colleen Hedrick, Billie Ruth Halton, Delcie Stanford, Sadie Coble and Larry Holder. Then came August, 1946, we entered our third year of high school as high and mighty Juniors. What a year! We had so many things to look forward to this year, getting our class rings and giv- ing the Junior-Senior Banquet which will always be a highly treasured part of our school day memories. As many of us recall we had quite a time raising money for the banquet but we all had fun doing it. Our Junior teacher was Mr. J. L. Gathings, who none of us will ever forget. Officers leading our class were: President, Kenneth Swing, Vice-President, Eugene Yountsg Secretary, Peggy Hedrick, Treasurer, Theda Burkhart. Members of our class leaving that year were: Eliza- beth Byerly, Betty Ann Crotts, Paul Hedrick, Peggy Metters, Reva Snyder, Jewel Snyder, Junior Beck and Ruby Dorsett, while we gained Peggy Hedrick. Incidentally, we gained and lost Joe Cope and Hugo Phelps that year. Those three short months of vacation passed all t-oo quickly and in September, 1947, we entered ole D.T.H.S. on the last mile of our high school journey. We were at the top and trying to do every- thing to live up to the things expected of Seniors, even being dignified, though that was hard to do. Under the capable leadership of Eugene Younts, President, Tommy Lee, Vice-Presidentg Bill Smith, Secretary, and Kay McCulloch, Treasurer. Also Miss Betty McCrary as our understanding and competent advisor, we began an extremely full year. Activities included electing the mascots who are Linda Harrison and Ronnie Workman, publish- ing the school annual, attending the J unior-Senior Banquet, giving our Senior play, and getting up graduation exercises. We gained this year, John Lee Ward, who is a veteran of World War II. Finally the great hour has arrived. We will soon receive our diplomas and the doors of Davis- Townsend High School will close behind us forever. The future holds for us all some mysterious pattern which will slowly unfold as we go along. For some it will be college, for others a job, and for still others perhaps matrimony in the near future. V I shall close the history of the class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight with these lines from Longfellow's Psalm of Life : Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. DELORES BECK, Class Historian CLASS PRUPHECY The other day, after studying my part in the graduation exercise until I was weary, I closed my eyes and fell asleep. Very soon I was living in the year 1958, and I had been graduated from Davis-Townsend School ten years. Desiring to know about my former classmates I set out to visit each of them. To travel had always been my ambition and not knowing where to find who, I plan- ned to tour this country and others if need be, until I found out about them. With this thought in mind I called a cab and to my surprise on the cab was written Dewey's Taxi Service-Day or Night. On asking the driver about this I was informed that Dewey Everhart was the owner of the largest cab station anywhere around. Without a doubt in my mind about Theda, I directed the cab driver to her home near Hed- rick's Grove and in a few minutes I was stepping out of the cab, and asking the driver to give my regards to Dewey. As I turned around, I saw a beautiful white house before me. When I rang the door bell, a maid answered it and she said that she would tell Mrs. Smith I was calling. In an instant Theda and I were chatting away as though we hadn't seen each other in centuries. After a long gossip, one of the maids served lunch and all too soon I found myself saying goodbye. On my way to Thomasville I passed a very familiar looking house. Now I remember! It was the house Kay used to tell us that she was going to live in. To my utmost surprise there she was out in the flower garden picking a vase of flowers. She tells me that she and Donald are very happy and that she is having a dinner party to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary. Don- ald Kepley was also one of our classmates. Kay also tells me that everyone is raving about the new type of car that Donald has invented and that is going on the market before long. It must be super-duper. After our short chat I resumed my tour. Next I was settled down on a train and chugging up a hill near Asheville when I spied Lee's Dairy. I wasn't at all surprised when I was informed that one of my former classmates, Tommy Lee, better known as Cowboy,,' had become a wheel in the business. He and his wife who was formerly the number one glamour girl of Thomasville, N. C., are unusually happy. As I leafed through a movie magazine I had brought with me. I discovered that John William Smith is a famous singer and composer. He is now making a tour across the continent. At this point the light dawned and I realized that John William Smith was none other than Bill Smith. It seems that he really makes a hit with all the girls. I knew he didn't sing Geometry back at Davis- Townsend for nothing. As I toured further I saw where Leon Varner, who was an excellent ball player in high school, is now playing under the lights. Unless I am mistaken Duke University is trying to get him to play with them. Come on! Leon. As this point whom should I meet but Leota Hedrick. No, she wasn't in the Ford, she now owns a Cadillac. Wow! What a beauty. She said her husband gave it to her for her birthday and showed her what to do if the lights went out, just in case. ll I hadn't seen Leota in quite a while so we had lots to tell each other. She said that Kenneth Swing had just been elected mayor of New York City. He and Violet certainly aren't wasting their time on the little things of life. She also tells me that Beatrice Burkhart liked Catawba College so well that after she was grad- uated from it, she got a master's degree and started teaching there. I understand that she is majoring in astronomy. CLASS PRUPHECY My next route was to Miami, Florida. The pilot of the airplane was Herbert Gene Crotts. This was quite a shock. When I asked him why he didn't study art he said that was his hobby and that he painted right much during his spare time. On my arrival I met Marilyn Everhart and Peggy Hedrick. They tell me that they are now graduate nurses and are nursing in the hospital in Miami. I think that both of their husbands who are doctors are also working in the same hospital. I can say this much for them. They certainly look happy. My next visit was paid to Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Younts of Washington, D. C. Eugene, who is a graduate of N. C. State College, informs me that he is head of the Agriculture Department of the United States. He said that his younger brother at State College sends Junior many notebooks with N. C. State College written on them. This last statement brings back memories of when we were in school. At that time Eugeneis older brother was at State College and at frequent intervals Eugene would announce, My brother at State College sent me these note books. I see he is the same ole Eugene. On my way to Canada, I stopped at Niagara Falls and there I met John Lee Ward and his wife. They are running a Tourist Camp. Life to them seems to be one continuous honeymoon. With such an environment, who wouldn't be happy? Back in New York I saw a familiar face in uniform. You'll never guess so I'll tell you. It was James Kepley. He's in the army now and not behind the plow. Rumors are flying that as soon as General Eisenhour's resignation has been made official, General Kepley will take his place. As I boarded the ship for France, to my relief I found Delores Beck, good ole Dorcie, on board. She tells me she has just finished her new book, EVER'YBODY'S CRAZY BUT ME.,' VVhen she offered to give me a copy, I politely refused CD0 you blame me? After that I probably would be crazy.J One shock treads on the heels of another. She next announced that the French girl she wrote to back in '48 when we were seniors and her brother visited her not long ago. Now she is going to France to marry him. She said she had a letter from Ruby Barnes the other day. From what I gathered, Ruby and her husband are running the fabulous Stardust Night Club in Philadelphia. It is one of the most exclusive clubs in the world. Before long our voyage was over. When she invited me to the wedding I didn't refuse. After all I was to be the Maid of Honor. One of the most distinguished guests at the wedding was Billy Albertson, who is now Ambassador to France. He said that while he was in Paris he heard about the wedding and just couldn't afford to miss it. At this time I had seen or heard about all of my former classmates. With very little money left, I decided to return to the United States and marry some eligible rich bachelor and travel the rest of my life, As I was homeward bound, I heard Mother calling, Emma Jean! Emma Jean! Aren't you going to the Senior Class meeting tonight? In no time at all I was at the meeting telling everyone my dream. Some seemed to doubt my prophecy. However, it is true that no one really knows the future and that time alone will tell. At any rate ten years from now, we shall see. EMMA JEAN BECK, Prophet 2 5908 00585148 5 Senior Class Song of '43 TUNE: Auld Lang Syne The Senior Class of '48 Must bid farewell to youg We'll miss the school, our friends so dear, And teachers kind and true. Each day we'll do the best we can, To help our country fair. We will remain loyal and true To our Alma Mater, Dear. We worked and played each day at school And hope that you will too. We won't forget the times we spent At Davis-Townsend School. Farewell to friends and teachers dear, Farewell to classmates trueg NW e will return some sunny day To good ole D. T. High.

Item II To the Sophomore Class, We leave the exacting problem of securing enough money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Item III To the Freshman Class, we leave our get-up-and-go manner, and the sincere hope that they get through their high school days as successfully and triumphantly as we did. We, the members of the 1948 Senior Class, in witness whereof, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.

S ecretary and Treasurer MRS. C1EszKo ........ . .... ................,..................... A dvisor The Library Club is composed of high school students who are interested in library work and in being responsible for the care of the high school library. Members learn to repair and care for books, to handle the circulation of the library books, and to help make the library attractive and useful. Early in the year an order of new books came in and were pre- pared for circulation. A dictionary stand was made for the library. Plans were made to increase the shelf space in the library. The club members and their guests attended a party in December at the home of Sadie Beck. Members took turns in being student librarians and members of the bulletin board and program committee.
