We face now another change which will meet the demands of our times as those buildings of the past met particular needs. On these pages we present THE ANATOMY OF CHANGE, to give you a glimpse of the past and the rich heritage which is oursg to let you see us as we are today in our timesg and, finally, to let you grasp with us the future. Always, we must remember that in order to pro- gresswe must be willing to adjust and evaluate our stan- dards, then set for ourselves new goals.

Years ago, a beautiful young girl supposedly disap- peared. The story is told that she was stolen away by the Monster of Lonesome Lake. This old legend provides Dan with the opportunity to give the Lodge some publicity. A hint here and there, a mysterious call to the newspaper, brings renewed interest and excitement as guests begin to arrive. Is there really a monster in Lonesome Lake, or has the lovely Marina only lost her memory? just when everyone is sure the mystery has been solved, another rnonste r appears. When Dan finds that Marina is for real , the Merrick family realizes that the Lodge can be a success. Dan Merrick .... Lolly ......... Mrs. Merrick .... Bongo ......... Daphne ...... . . .

On the following pages we present those graduating classes which have preceded us. From their experiences we have come to where we are today. From the lessons learned we look to that which is ahead as we set our names in the type of the annuals of history. 151 In the great educational c a m p a i gn now being waged in the United States, and of more specific in- terest, in the Old North State , we hear so much of Superior Schools and Quality Education, it is well to think back on the history of education in our own community. Let us turn our thoughts backward for a time and see what we, of the East Bend community, have done in the past, and are still doing, for the cause of ed- ucation. East Bend has three accomplishments of which she is justly proud: fly She was one of the first, if not the first com- munity to establish and m aint ain an academy in Yadkin County. QZJ She was the first in Yadkin County and one of the first small towns in North Carolina to establish a graded school which was chartered by an act of the State Legislature. QBJ She was the first Community in Yadkin Coun- ty to vote bonds for a new building. About the year 1855, one hundred and six years ago, Joseph R. Creel, whose bones now lie in the Baptist Church cemetery, came to East Bend as pas- tor of the Baptist Church. While serving in this ca- pacity he had a vision of higher education for East Bend and by virtue of this vision he founded a school The Catalogue of Teachers and Students of East Bend Academy for the year 1856, shows that this oldAcademy system which predates our modern pub- lic schools offered a wide range of subjects. In this year there were 57 young gentlemen and 17 young ladies from Yadkin, Stokes, Surry, Forsyth, Davie, Davidson, lredell and one as far away as Texas, en- rolled as students. John H. Kinyoun, A.B. , was listed as proprietor and Joseph R. Creel as associate. They took great pride in their academy and its merits as we can see by the following excerpts: This school is located in as fine and healthy a region as there is in our state, situated in the bend of the Yadkin River six miles south of the Pilot Mountain.. .The scholastic year will be divided into two terms of five months each. A portion of each Sabbath will be spent in studying and reciting, the Scriptures. . .The course of study is designed to be thorough and systematic, tending to render the student a clear thinker and practical sch- olar. QCan this be improved upon in our 1961 Qual- ity Education program?J The course of study, in 1855, included McGuffey Readers in the English Dept., Webster's Spelling, English Grammar, Geography, History of U. S. , Hart's Constitution of the U.S. , Botany, Physiology, De- scriptive Astronomy, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, from which sprang East Bend Academy.

C. and of other states have gone out into the world better equipped for life's battles. Pages could be written of the wonderful times in old East Bend prior to the Civil War and of the suc- cessful men and women who received their education in this school. During these four years the school had grown from the 77 young men and women to over 250 students, some coming from as far aw ay as Miss. , Texas, Tenn. , and probably other states. Many of these have been leading factors in the educational progress of N.C. Among these was the Hon.

Boone, N.C. At least two others of this period made their mark in the legislature of North Carolina, viz: john G. Marler who represented Yadkin County many times, john Holman of lredell who is remembered as the father of the free school system of N. C. Many others who went out from this school have made good in their chosen professions of law, medicine, the ministry, business and farming and have left behind a priceless heritage and a chal- lenge for us who follow. After Kinyoun and Cre el came the following teachers in succession: john G. Marler, Prof. Liver- more and Prof. Weaver of whom we have very little history. To the next teachers, Rev. Moses Baldwin and his wife, belong the praise of keeping up the record of East Bend Academy in sending out boys and girls prepared for college and the active duties of life. Mr. Baldwin took charge of the school in year 1867 or 1868, and for many years East Bend Academy was recognizedas one of the leading schools of North Carolina. Some of the most progressive men of their day were at one time students here and learned the lessons of life and duty under Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin. During this period of the school's life East Bend Academy was known as a Baptist school. Many Baptist preachers were students and went out to noble fields of endeavor. Notable among them were Rev. S.F. Conrad who was a minister in Charlotte, and who has the distin- ction of having built more Baptist Churches in North Carolina than any other minister of the gospel up to his time. QThis record may still stand. jAlso the late F. T. Baldwin at one time judge of the county court ofForsyth CountygW. R. Glenn was a brilliant lawyer, and Mrs. Mattie j.l-lall, founder of Yadkin Ripple. Some of the very best physicians of that day, who gave their lives to relieve the sick and suffering, received their training under Mr. Baldwin. Among them there was none better than our own Dr. W. E. Benbow,whose sons Dr. Edgar and the late Dr. Tom, both alum.ni of East Bend, in later years have carried on this great tradition. He was a very public-spirited gentleman who d e s er ve d much credit for making East Bend a better place in which to live. Dr. LL. Speas, also deceased, had much to do with making Boonville a good town and the school a success. There were many, many more. In the business world there were F. M. Bohannon, tobacco manufacturer, J.F. Griffith and H. D. Poin- dexter, Merchants of Winston-Salem. There were a succession of these wonderful members of the student body of East Bend Academy who left their mark on the history of the business world in this and surround- ing counties. lczss of 1958 I.

Then, there are the great hosts of farmers who have made this honorable calling their life's work. Their attendance at East Bend Academy helped them to grow two blades of grass where only one had grown before and have passed on to later generations this knowledge from which we are deriving benefit today. After Rev. Mr. Baldwin, Prof. L.A. Speas, for- mer student, was in charge of the school and contin- ued for two and one-half years. Dr. Joe M. Matthews, another old student, then conducted the school for a few years until the old building had seen its best days. Another company was formed. This company built a large building which stood until 1923, when it was razed to make room for a building better suited to the needs ofthe community. The name was changed from East Bend Academy to Union High School of East Bend. Prof. T. S. Whittington was then elected prin- cipal. Too much could hardly be said for the good accomplished by this great educator. The boys and girls of this first year of E.B. High School became leading citizens of the community and surrounding After Prof. Whittington, D. M. Weatherly was made principal. The school next passed under the leadership of professors Hodgin and Ward. Then came one of the most progressive periods in the history of the school, one of our boys who but recently had been a student became principal-Mr. J. T. Benbow took charge in 1890-92. Associated with him were his brothers, Frank and W.E. who taught a class in medicine. Under the management of these brothers, the institution took on new life and the largest number of boarding students since 1859 were enrolled. Elocu- tion, Music, Band and other cultural courses were added. The school was never better than under the direction of these men. Their good work enriched the lives of the pupils, scattered throughout N. C. , and their families were even until now. When the Ben- bow boys decided to make law their life's work and moved to Winston-Salem, the school was directed through the years by the following men: Mr.Johnson, another alumnus of East Bend Academy, Mr. Brown- ing and Mr. Beach of whom we have little history. In 1901 the East Bend Graded School was chart- ered by an act of the State Legislautre and was one of the first graded schools to be established in the smaller towns of the state. country, actively engaged in industry, business, medicine, the ministry and farming, among them the late A. C. Johnson, L. B. Williams, J.T. and Frank Benbow, E. D. Stanford and others who served well.

During this time many students went out to further preparation for their life's work and became leading citizens of the times. In 1915 the name Benbow again appears in the history of this old institution when a son of Dr.W. E., and a nephew of j.T. and Frank, Charlie Frank, be- came principal of East Bend High and things began to hum again. The school was known far and wide as an excellent boarding school. Mr. Benbow worked tirelessly fora better and larger building in which to house the school. The patrons, descendants of those early pioneers in the cause of education, voted 356, OOO in bonds on August 2, 1916 in a special election , with only 18 dissenting votes.These bonds were sold immediately. The people of East Bend were awake to their re- sponsibilities and possibilities of improved instruction. Plans were to try to get additional funds from the State and county to erect aS9, OOO plant, but the war and accompanying conditions delayed the erection of the new building until 7 years later. At the close of his second year, Mr. Benbow left to enter the business world in Winston-Salem and was followed by Prof. S.J. Honeycutt who con- tinued as principal until mid-term in 1920.

T. C. Wright of Boone was secured to complete the term. During this period many outstanding and leading citizens of our day were students here, and are living a life dedicated to the service of humanity. The progress of the school is but an outgrowth of the work done in e arlier days. In the history of East Bend school we find countless stories of sacrifice on the part of many men and women which in this brief history could not be mentioned. The year 1920-21 was a new first in the history of the school, a lady be c ame principal. The late -1--is l V-M V '-'i ivliiircv f4:,1rvvg t' sw-.L - pr---. I wzv 4 b ,IHA I' -.I 4. 4 V , ---- ' 1.

She was followed by Mr.Farlow from Guilford College who served one year. In 1922-23, Mr. SJ. Honeycutt returned as principal for the third time. During this year the old academy which had served long and well, was con- demned. Classes were held in private buildings all over town, while the old building was used as a store house for materials to go into the new building. The bricksthat were to be used in building were made within a stone's throw of the new site which saved about half the cost. Under the skillful man- agement of the school board, composed of Dr. W. G. Leak, and Mr. J. Lee Norman, both deceased, and Mr. H. M. Wilhelm, the building was begun. These men were fortunate in having Mr. Frank Kirk, one of the foremost builders of that period as architect and foreman. This new structure, modern in every way and valued at 330,000 was ready for classes in the fall of 1923. Thus was added the fourth accom- plishment in the history of East Bend School. l 0 Uba Brown, Thomas Craft, Joe Bill Davis, Paul Haga, Donald Hauser, Paul Henning, Cole Hobson, Horace Ray Jester, I-Iobert Johnson, Lynn Martin, Kenneth Matthews, Derl Smitherman, Edward Smitherman, junior Williams, Edgar Vernon Wooten, junior Wright, Lorene Brown, Dorothy Choplin, Gennett Cranford, Ruth Davis, Sarah Doub, Elise Fleming, Katie Lee Hinshaw, Norma Hobson, Ila johnson, Pansy Key, Jessie Martin, Frances Matthews, Pattie 1 8 Matthews, Bertha Miller, Estelene Miller, Annie Lee Reece, Patsy Smitherman, Luzanna Speer, Betty Lou Williams, 9 jean Williams, Audrie Wooten, Gaynell Wooten. 164 I Keith Davis, j.T.

The school was standardized and basketball was inaugurated with Mr. Weeks as first coach. There were still many boarding students who today are lead- ing citizens of their own communities and are proud of their attainments at East Bend High. Following Mr. I-loneycutt was another of our own, Mr. I-I. B. Shore, who served as principal for two years.In this period the first Parent-Teacher Associa- tion was organized with Mrs. R.E. Smitherman as president. This organization has been a very impor- tant part of the school. It now has a membership of 317. Mr. Shore was also coach of the basketball team. From the first it was a winning team and through the years many high honors have been received, to be added to the high scholastic honors which have been won by individual students. In 1927 Mr. Shore left the school room to enter the business field and was followed by principals Braswell, Ponder and Joines. This was another period of active growth and ex- pansion. Once again the patrons of East Bend School proved their interest and loyalty by putting on a drive to build a gymnasium financed by local donations and built by W.P.A. Labor in 1934-also a lunch Warren Adams, Dallas Brann, Charlie Hutchens, J. L.

A Vocational I-Iome Ec. Department was added and equipment valued at 3600.00 was donated by patrons and frie nds of the school. Vocational Ec. was dropped for a season later. In 1935 the county schools were consolidated, Eight new rooms were added to the building and the faculty members were increased to nineteen. Mr. Banks Ritchie continued the work begun by Mr. Joines and followed by Mr. Lawrence Todd, who served from 1938-41. At this time the yards were graded and seeded, shrubbery planted, and new stage scenery and equipment added. The first agriculture building was also built. The patrons had worked dil- igently and long for this building. It burned in 1948 and was replaced by a splendid and well-equipped brick building, which has helped our young people to become better prepared in modern farming meth- ods. To this department goes the appreciation of us all for the nice cement walks which they have laid from building to building and the fine job of seeding the lawn and playgrounds. When Mr. Todd decided to leave the teaching profession, he secured a position as rural mailcarrier and was followed by a very dedicated school man, Mr. R. C. Garrison who served four years. Mr. W.A. Beale became principal in 1945 and served until his sudden and untimely death due to a heart attack, early in the term of 1948. Mrs. Woodrow Martin, English teacher, very ably concluded this year. In 1945, another former student and teacher, Mr. R.J. Smitherman,assu.med the principalship. He has ledusfaithfully and well in this time of rapid growth and change. The school plant itself has increased from an estimated value of thirty thousands dollars in 1924to more than S300, 000. 00 in this year, 1961. Several acres have been pLu'c.hased, graded, and seeded for playground space, a new Science and Li- brary building with a modern lunch room which serves over 400 meals each day was added in 1952, a new gymnasitun was completed in 19595 two tennis courts black topped, and drives and parking area paved. A vocational home economics department was rein- stated in 1957. To our County Superintendent, Mr. Fred C. I-Iobson, goes our thanks for progressive leadership and interest in placing Yadkin County schools on the march in modern education. At the death of Mr. john T. Benbow in 1960 it was found that the present school building rested on a part of his estate, and was advertised for sale by the executors, but the heirs graciously donated the land in return for having a plaque placed in the buiding in memory of his father and mother, Dr. and Class of 1939 john' Huff, ,Iohn Matthews, Leo Miller, Ralph Spencer, Faye Davis, Maye Edith Smitherman, Anna Smitherman, Mattie Tomlinson, Connie Welch, Davis, Doris Davis, Beulah Davis, Thelma Frye, Adeline Hinsdale, Hazel Gail Williams, Vicy Gay Wooten, Ruth Norman.

During the past three decades many outstanding students have gone out from East Bend to be added to the long list of those who have gone before 3 some to aviation, science laboratories, nursing,medicine, agriculture, the ministry, architecture, farming and industry. We must not fail to pay tribute to those alumni who so gloriously served their coimtry during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean conflict- some even to death. Let us honor their memory and lives so that they might not have died in vain. Among these are: Ed Norman, Jack S m ithe rm an, Coy Taylor, Donald Davis, Sidney Poindexter, Joe E. Martin, Ogburn Martin and others. We feel sure that no school has ever sent out fi- ner teachers, in whose hands rests the future of our nation, than this grand old institution, nor has any school been more fortunate than we, in having such dedicated teachers, not only in subject matter, but in the development of the highest ideals of character and service. In the present faculty of twenty-two, there are ten alumni of this school. No history of East Bend School would be complete without stopping to honor those teachers who have added so much to the illustrious name of East Bend School, both past and present. Iwish to especially name two, now retired, to whom we owe much in their combined seventy-two years of service. Miss Jessie Horn, who holds the enviable distinction of having taught each grade from first through eighth and was for many years ranked among the very best and most thorough te a che rs of French, Latin and English in the State. Miss Jessie, we, who follow, salute you! Mrs. Nora Ward, as a Grammar Grade teacher, challenged each child who was privileged to sit in her classroom, to the greatest heights of achievement. Three of her four children also chose teaching as their life's work. She has done her job well! We, of the East Bend School and Community, must guard against any t en dency to congratulate ourselves on what has been accomplished and fail to realize what lies ahead. May we ever show a will- ingness towork together for all that is yet to be done, although not the first to drop the old nor the last to accept the new, may we increase our devotion to the highest ideals and give to each member of our stu- dent body the capacity for leadership, the enthusiasm for worthy tasks, and the principles of service to our community, state, and nation and help each child make full use of these opportunities so that the world may be a better place because he lives and serves. At the close of the 1963 school year, our prin- cipal, Mr. Smitherman and his wife retired. The school presented a This Is 'four Life program for them. In the fall of 1963, Mr. Thomas Y.

Through his outstanding leadership the school continued to progress. Rennovations were made in the office, a new inter-communications system was installed. Tragedy struck East Bend around 2:00 A.M. on April 8, 1964 as fire raced through the elementary and high school portions of the old building, com- pletely destroying the building. Classrooms were set up in the gymnasium as well as the library. Mobile units were moved in and so school continued with only three days having been missed. By the end of the first semester of 1964 a new modern building containing ten classrooms, aud- itorium and other modern facilities was completed. No one who has not been through such an ex- perience can fully appreciate the way students and teachers rose to the occasion. Behavior, attitude and co-operation prevailed as all worked to over come the hardships of such trying times. East Bend, under excellent le ade rship of Mr. Wooten, has participated fully in school and com- munity affairs.New facilities through the Federal Aid Programs have brought our library and audio-visual aids up to such a standard that we are able to com- pete with any school for quality in our education. We stand now on the threshold of another era. The last Senior play has been presented, the last ball game played, the last wonderful Junior-Senior Banquet has come to an end, the last class will be graduated. So-East Bend's place in history as a high school has come to a close. We look forward now to becoming part of F orbush High.
