Full of faults it may be, but we shall prize this book in years to come as a written and pictured record of the happy days spent here. Our “parade” through life will take us over many different paths to many different destinations, but memories of our high school days will always be with us. We hope that others may enjoy with us the 1948 issue of THE PARADE.

J Principals Message One of the most difficult duties of a principal is to speak for the entire faculty. Frequently the same message is given over and over again. I think that this is both necessary and good. We have the same feeling for the class of 1948 that we have had for other classes. We want to commend you for your past accomplishments and congratulate you for continuing in school until you reached the goal of graduation. However, you are going to face greater problem s and make more momentous decisions than other classes have had to face and make. We hope that you are going to meet these problems with sufficient courage and determination to solve them. Our best wishes and fondest hope go with you. E. L.

He possesses a combination of dignity and friendliness. ¥ x Lois EpmMuNDSON “Tt's nice to be natural if you're natural- ly nice.” Lois is silent, but her possibilities are great because of her capacity for hard work and her good mind. x ELizABETH EpwArbs “Wise is the girl, who, having nothing to say, keeps still.” Elizabeth, with her dark red hair, her sunny smile, and modest manner, is a well-liked girl. She will always have friends. x ¥ HERMAN FISHER “A jolly good fellow, full of enthu- siasm, and an energetic worker.” We admire Herman and recognize his great worth to our class. He’s a iad : ” bch sticker” — just what we need. x Perry FisHer “Very little but very loud.” We say that in the race of life Perry will not be far behind. ‘The future holds much for him. � Louren GuicEe “To argue is his one developed art.” His lazy voice and indifferent air cannot hide the admirable qualities that his charming ways reveal to us. Heimigr Llase wi | Sabha DarreLL HAMMETT “If pleasure interferes with work, quit work.” Darrell is another of our “quiet” boys. The girls seem to like that slow smile. Joyce Huccins “A girl with a heart and a smile that makes the bubbles of life worth while.” Wherever fun and_ good - spirits abound, there is Joyce, and where Joyce is, people are happy. ¥ ELIZABETH JONES “The girl that loves and laughs and must surely do well.” She is a sincere friend. However, when fun is being handed out, Eliza- beth gets her share. x Norman JONES “Life is only a joke and he knows it.” We could write books about Norman, but it all amounts to this: ‘What could we have done without him these years?” x � Dorotuy Justus “Look for a brighter tomorrow.” Quiet and dignified, did you say? Dorothy has a determined and con- vincing manner. Everybody likes her, and we mean everybody. ¥ x HeErBert Justus “Dependable, jovial, witty; to him every cloud has a silver lining.” Here is one of our most outstandin gs Seniors — a social, athletic, and scho- lastic success; in fact, a “wow”. SEmior Liagss or 44a CLARENCE KILPATRICK “The only way to hold a girl is in your arms.” Clarence and his “peppy tales” have added much to our fun. He is a “different” Senior; attractive, kind, and popular. x x Witi1AM Morrison ’ “Let thy words be few.’ William has won our deep admira- tion. He doesn’t talk unless he has something to say. We are proud of our Valedictorian. ¥ Crara Maz Orr “Never too busy to play a prank or do y to play a p a favor. She is always busy but is never seen studying. That’s all right — she can cheer you up. ‘That’s quite an art. x Doris Orr “Tt is a friendly heart that has many friends.” A little girl with a lot of personalitv With her constant friendliness and ability to smile, she could not be other- wise than popular. x KATHERINE POWELL “A loving heart is the truest wisdom.” We don’t always understand Kath- erine, for she has a tendency to smile when she should weep, and vice versa. She will be a success in whatever she undertakes. we oe: VERDA SHIPMAN “Lively, humorous, and full of fun.” Verda has a loving smile and is gay and frank. Her personality has won her many friends. Semioe Clags mou iste Gussie BAYNE “The capable are not always the loudest.” Gussie has won a place in our hearts by her charming smile and sweet dis- position. . Whatever she undertakes to do, she does well. x Berry Jo BEDDINGFIELD “There's just two ways in life; her way and the wrong way.” Betty Jo’s vivaciousness, her attrac- tive appearance and personality have made her one of our most popular girls. x Jane Evra BELL “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Jane Ella has always been recognized as our pretty girl, but behind that prettiness is keen intelligence. ¥ Dovisr BLYTHE “Always willing to help if she can.” She has something that inspires us to better things. It must be her sin- cerity, her kindness, and her depend- ability. x Eva BLYTHE “Those who listen and say little will win their reward some day.” Eva is the kind of girl who is in the right place at the right time. In her quiet easy manner, she does her duty and makes friends. x Marcaret Burns “Silence is golden.” She’s an all-round fine girl and many hearts have been brightened by her presence. Her future plans prob- ably involve a home of her own. Semior Uleas ai iS)4us HELEN DRAKE “Doubt whom you will but never doubt yourself.” Helen is good-natured and friendly with just enough dignity to make her appealing. And we do admire that brain of her’s. x x Rosert FAIn “Work fascinates me. I could sit and stare at it all day.” Robert comes to us from Henderson- ville High. Their loss has been our gain. He’s a serious-minded boy who will go far in the world. � Frances Justus “Her ability is greater than her size.” Frances is a fun-loving person, and a good athlete. Her chief interest, however, is eating and “making eyes’. She is very popular. ¥ x Rospert LockaBy “A good sport, a friendly disposition, and an unusual athlete.” Robert is our outstanding athlete and has made good grades too. He’s not overly fond of mental exertion, however. x Mixprep Mintz “To speak well is good; to do well is better.” Her greatest asset is unselfishness. She is ever ready to be a friend and aid those in need. x LoutsE SATTERFIELD “A trusty friend and comrade true; if she has faults, they ae few.” Louise is a sweet and likeable girl; her quietness and air of sincerity are qualities which endear her to us all. OEY, ; Evol Weare as pilgrims traveling afar, Gathering knowledge wherever we are. But now it is over, this journey is done, Our goal is in sight if we have won. We've come to the end of four happy years, Of joys and of sorrows and quite a few fears. Oh, happy the days we’ve spent in this place, And we'll always remember each person and face. And now must we leave your campus and halls, Your fun, and your laughter, your lo ud happy calls. There’s no turning back; life’s course we must run, One journey’s ended—another’s begun. Our Blue and White colors we loved to cheer, As our fine teams came in from the rear. With yells and with songs we led the crowd's roar, “Hail Flat Rock High for evermore.” Though we leave you now, we'll return some day, And part of our hearts will forever stay With the scenes of our triumphs and of our joys, With the friends that we loved as girls and boys.

Most of us started our school careers at East Flat Rock, Valley Hill, or Tuxedo. Those students entering East Flat Rock were: Betty Jo Beddingfield, Charles Black- well, Dovie Blythe, Betty Dean Cornwell, Roy Duncan, Elizabeth Edwards, Robert Fain, Lohren Guice, Darrell Hammett, Elizabeth Jones, Norman Jones, Frances Justus, Robert Lockaby, Katherine Powell, and Louise Satterfield. The following began their school life at Valley Hill: Helen Drake, Herman Fisher, Perry Fisher, Herbert Justus, Mildred Mintz, and Doris Orr. Those who entered school at Tuxedo were: Gussie Bayne, Margaret Burns, Frederick Dorsey, Joyce Huggins, and Verda Shipman. William Morrison began school at Newland, North Carolina; Eva Blythe at Dana; Lois Ed- mundson at Fruitland, and Clara Orr at Hendersonville. In the ninth grade, Clarence Kilpatrick came to us from Hendersonville, and Norman Jones, who had been a Flat Rock renegade in Hendersonville for a year or so, rejoined our class. In the eleventh grade Jane Ella Bell came to us from Fort Worth, Texas. During this year, we were much honored by the addition to our roll the names of Charles Blackwell, Lohren Guice, and Robert Fain. ‘These boys had decided two or three years ago that there was nothing at Flat Rock for them to learn. So they deserted us-and went to Hendersonville to learn a lot. They did learn a lot. ‘They learned that there’s no place in the world quite as fine as Flat Rock High School. We were glad also to have Dorothy Justus and Mildred Mintz from Hendersonville join us this year. And Doris Orr came to us from Baltimore, Maryland, and has been a very popular mem- ber of our class this year. Helen Drake, who was with us during a part of the 8th and 10th grades, rejoined us this year. She came from Birmingham, Alabama. Herman Fisher, an Ex-G. I. and an old Flat Rocket, entered the Senior Class this year, and it has been like old times, having him around again. As our last year of high school draws to a close, we look back on the years with mixed feeling. We regret our many mistakes, but hope that we have profited by them. We rejoice in our accom- plishments, and cherish the memories of the many happy days spent here, and are grateful for the experiences we had and for the friendships made here. Eva BLyTHE LAM IE (AVIS AMIN TI WDE ooh IE ANIL, I) TL Being of sound (?) mind and vigorous body, we, the Senior Class of Flat Rock High School, do hereby leave our last will and testament. To our helpful and inspiring principal and faculty we leave thoughts of deep gratitude for the help they have given us and for the memories of the joyous days we have spent here. Roy Duncan leaves his Hillbilly Hit Tunes and the sweet formula for the manufacture of Sky Blue Lipstick to “Lone- some” Weldon Meadows. Frances Justus leaves her long legs to Marie Nichols. Joyce Huggins leaves her “wire hair’ to Oveta Moss in hopes that Oveta can find a diesel engine to roll it and some rivets to hold it down. Clara Mae Orr leaves her “gift of gab” to Betty Jean Newman Katherine Powell leaves her brilliant (2) record in French to Beatty Saunders. Betty Dean Cornwall wills her flaming locks to J. C. Burrell. Verda Shipman leaves her pleasing plumpness to Alice Gilbert. Charles Blackwell leaves his “suh-thern” drawl to anyone slow enough to keep pace with it. Dorothy Justus leaves her friendly disposition and “squint” eyes to Charlotte Perry. Doris Orr and Mildred Mintz bequeath their bond of undying friendship to Sylva Smith and Theresa Jones. Norman “Doubtful” Jones leaves his general misunderstanding of Macbeth to Bobby Cairnes. Dovie Blythe leaves her role as an ideal wife to Alma Stepp. Perry Fisher, not wishing to seem unfair, is selling his basketball suit to the highest bidder at an auction in the gym. The time will be announced later. Perry also leaves his cud of chewing gum to Anita Hamilton, fondly believing that although he has nearly worn it out during his Senior year, there is life in the old wad yet. Anita, exercise it faithfully every day in English Class. Jane Ella Bell leaves her dark beauty to Carolyn Cronic. Herman Fisher leaves his good disposition and love of brunettes to Harold Thompson. Eva Blythe and Lois Edmundson leave their typewriter to anyone using the “seek and ye shall find” system. Robert Lockaby leaves his Model-T Ford to the business staff of the Annual of ’49. Betty Jo Beddingfield leaves her “toothpaste” smile to Christiner Coates. Robert Fain leaves his neatness to C. M. Jones. Elizabeth Jones leaves her “petiteness” to Mary Alice Freeman and would like to take Mary Alice’s brother in return. Herbert Justus leaves his heartbreaker tactics to Henry Condrey, hoping that they will work as well for Henry as they did for him. Lohren Guice wills his chewing gum and dark eyes to Gus Robinson. Louise Satterfield and Gussie Bayne just leave. Frederick Dorsey leaves his deep baritone voice to James Roper. Clarence Kilpatrick, having a stingy nature, decided to take everything with him. Margaret Burns leaves her shyness to Pauline Stepp. William Morrison leaves his outstanding scholastic record to Jock Blois. Darrell Hammett leaves his horselaugh to Hubert Halford. Elizabeth Edwards wills her blushing ways to Beulah Smith. And I, Helen Drake, leave my red-rimmed harlequin glasses to Mr. Justus, who usually forgets to bring his to class. Signed and sealed this 30th day of February, 1948. Hexen Drake, Class Attorney (EVRA Stopes ean Rte al peat I was sitting in the algebra class. [The afternoon was warm. Spring was in the air, and | found some difhculty concentrating my attention on the hgure X. The voice of the teacher was indistinct and finally became inaudible. ‘lhe figure X, strangely enough, was no longer a letter written in chalk on the blackboard. The blackboard itseit had become a kind ot platform or stage, dark curtains inclosing the space. And the figure X had changed into another kind of figure — quite shapely. And it had a familiar look to me, somehow. On the dark curtain behind the figure, huge letters appeared, and they gradually became very luminous. I read them with amazement. ‘Lhe letters were | 9 5 8. And in the light ot their brightness I recog- nized the shapely figure standing in front of them as that of my class- mate, betty Jo Beddingfield. Betty Jo was a grown-up young lady, modeling a bathing suit. Then it came to me that the impossible had happened, and [ was looking ten years into the future. When Betty Jo’s figure disappeared, a spotlight shone from some- where and lighted up the countenance of another old member of the class of 1948. He was seated in a brand-new P-80. Just before he took off I read the advertisement written on the sides of the plane. It said, IF IT’S MOVEABLE WE MOVE IT TRANSPORT COM- PANY. Clarence Kilpatrick, owner and manager. Perry Fisher came on the stage and showed me that he had become a BIG SHOT. He was manager of the A and P store of Henderson- ville. He had been promoted from his job of chief window-washer. Fred Dorsey came on the scene wearing spikes. He was playing baseball for the Yankees. I saw Roy Duncan, the forlorn cowboy, trying to herd cattle on a motorcycle, and he was singing, “No Letter Today”. Robert Fain had invented a better mousetrap and the public was really beating a path to his door. Joyce Huggins was getting rich on her chicken farm. And although my glimpse of her was brief, I think I saw some other young things — not just baby chicks. Dovie Stepp, er — ah, Blythe, was having trouble with the triplets, but that was to be expected. Katherine Powell had taken over the inspector’s job at the rug plant. She was supposed to see “if there are any strings attached to them.” Verda Shipman, when she could spare the time from her favorite pastime of joke-telling, was acting as man- ager of Green River Cotton Mills, her main duties consisting of keeping the boll weevils out. Gussie Bayne was bookkeeping for Sears Roebuck. After a number of years in business, this company had finally decided to get somebody who could really keep books. They found Gussie, and will never be satisfied with anyone else. Frances Justus had a program on the radio. She to!d housewives how to make soup from week-long left- overs. She used to work in the lunchroom at Flat Rock High, you know. Eva Blythe was happily married and was quite busy looking after four kids. But Eva had help though. Her old side-kick, Lois Edmundson, was County Health Nurse, and often when her work at the schools and hospitals was over, she dropped in to see how Eva’s family was. Between the two, they kept everyone healthy. Elizabeth Jones was working at a store, and after looking very hard at the sign, I could finally make out that it was OGILVIE FREEMAN — Dry Goods and Groceries. Doris Orr was a lawyer with an office in Asheville. She had been admitted to the bar at the age of 21, break- ing some kind of record, or sump’n. Louise Satterfield was a farmer’s wife, but I didn’t manage to learn his name. I saw her, up bright and early, leaving the house with two milk pails in her hand. a Helen Drake, as cute as ever, was in politics. She was using her persuasive ways to get herself elected to ongress. I was really surprised to see Dorothy Justus teaching school. But she was not just an ordinary teacher. Oh, no! She was head of the department of English at the University of North Carolina. And Mildred Mintz had also taken up the noble profession, and was teaching mathematics at Furman Univer- sity in Greenville, S. C. Elizabeth Edwards had attained fame as author of a best-selling book entitled, HOW TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER, THOUGH REDHEADED. And bless my soul, Margaret Burns was Elizabeth’s secretary. It took both of them to keep the autograph hounds away from the door. Jane Ella Bell was doing all right too. She was acting for Warner Brothers. She was starring with Lohren Guice in a picture called THE BUTLER STRIKES BACK. Betty Dean Cornwell was playing basketball with the All-American Redheads. And Clara Mae Orr wes on the same team. Clara Mae said she would rather dye than let Betty Dean get the better of her, especially since that Shealy boy was one of the official referees. Robert Lockaby was still running along. He was the champion long-distance runner of the United States. Following close behind Robert, I saw Norman Jones and Darrell Hammett, his managers, in the old Model T. It also was still doing its duty. William Morrison, the BRING THEM BACK DEAD trapper, was supplying Charles Blackwell’s Persian Lamb Coat Company with rabbit skins. I saw Herman Fisher in the same old rut — the one that leads to Bettie Pace’s house. He still hadn’t popped the question. I wondered as I gazed if he would let his shyness ruin his whole life, and hers. But look! I saw someone else coming into view on that lighted platform — a very important someone. I became tense with excitement when I realized that it was me, er, myself! I mean it was I. I braced myself to get a good look at that handsome figure — “Herbert Justus, will you please wake up!” It was Miss Osteen’s voice which broke into my consciousness. i pee ee my eyes. “Look at problem 48 on the board, and explain to the class what that figure X stands for and why. Oh, woe! If she had only let me dream just a few minutes longer! Henrsert Justus 748 oe cenes at Sat Koel. Sit down, dear Reader, get comfortable, and do some thinking while we picture for you some scenes at Dear Old Flat Rock High School — scenes which are very familiar to us, the members of the class of 1948. Oh, wait! We should have warned you. Don’t sit there! Nor in any other seat in the Senior home room. We want your mind to be free to consider the things we have to tell you. Any seat in this roony is apt to collapse, bringing you to the floor with a thud, or even perhaps with a crash. We are used to it. We know just how to slide into the seats, just how to adjust our weight so that the worn-out desks will hold us up. And when we do get dropped, we know how to throw out an arm or a leg to break the fall. After nine months in this room and four years in the other rooms in our schoolhouse, we know the art. One of our fond hopes for the future is that when our children attend Flat Rock High School, they may sit down in confidence; that they may know the seat will hold them up; and that they may have a place inside the desk where they may put their books and other school materials. | But we were going to tell you about our everyday life here. There comes Mrs.’ Crawford. She’s sorter slipping up on us. Wish some- body would tell her to have those rubber heels taken off her shoes, so we could know beforehand when she’s around. Darrell wants to whisper something to Robert Lockaby. He’s saying that there’s a flat on the Model T, and does he suppose Mr. Justus will let them out to fix it during the geography class. What’s that? “Darrell, you and Robert, report to study hall this afternoon.” Mrs. Sinclair’s voice. Goodness, can’t somebody tell her that one of the provisions of the constitution is “freedom of speech”. There’s the bell. Out into the hall we go. We wish they’d install some traffic lights to protect us from that speed demon, Mrs. Kessler. If she doesn’t learn to use the brakes as she races to and from her room to the office, there’s going to be a bad wreck some day. And we have an English class — all of us together. Let’s run! Might not get a seat. Not enough to go ‘round, and who wants to sit up there in that extra straight chair by the teacher’s desk? It’s raining cats and pups. Gotta go to the library for a study period. Pull your coat collar up, scrooch down, and run like the — like the mischief. The girls have those doo-hickeys they can put over their hair, but some of their “New Look” dresses will get wet and will soon have the old look. We boys don’t worry too much about that, but some day maybe Flat Rock will have a covered walk between the buildings. We are staying after school to practice ball in our gymnasium. ‘This building was begun fourteen years ago and hasn’t been finished yet, but we children are thankful for small favors. We're glad they finally got a roof over it. We hope that future Flat Rockets will have dressing rooms with showers, a heating system, and that the spectators at our games will have seats which do not endanger life and limb. Getting back to the familiar scenes — See that boy over there studying? Yes, it’s done at Flat Rock — some- times. Look at that book. It is dirty, dog-eared, worn out. He rented it from the state of North Carolina. He paid one-third the retail price of the book as a rental fee for one year. The book has been used for ten years, as is shown by the names of pupils listed on the flyleaf. The first name was a graduate in the class of ’38. Our beloved state has been paid for that book three times and is now starting on the fourth go-round. The book still holds itself together somehow or other. It is smelly, and the soilure collected during these years represents all the different kinds of germs in the medical encyclopedia. But why worry? After all, our state isn’t expected to be fair to the schools — we learned that in the first grade. If we get any textbooks at all by the end of the second or third month of school, we should be properly grateful, even though we do pay rental fees for the whole nine months. Nope, we ain’t kicking. We know it won’t do us any good. But we do hope that some sweet day in the sweet future, not too many years ahead, pupils at Flat Rock and at other state public schools may expect and get what they are justly entitled to and what the taxpayers would like for us to be getting now. We ain’t mad at nobody. Just thought you might like to be thinking things over. Come to see your school sometime. Might learn something not in books.
