SHIRLEY McGatLuiarp Attempt at Law Class of One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Class History At the beginning of the school year of 1938, the two first grade rooms were over-flowing with young, bright-faced boys and girls. Our first years in the primary and elementary building will always be remembered by all the students. We had pleasant teachers, most of us studied hard, and we had lots of fun together. Freshmen — When we received our cer- tificates, which entitled us to the rights of freshmen, from the eighth grade, we did not consider ourselves “green horns, —although we were a little timid. We took part in all the high school activities. Our class officers were Jimmy Graham, President; Joe Billy Roper, Vice-President; Gorman Orders, Secretary; and Jack Dale, Treasurer. Serving on the Student Council were Louana_ Anderson, Joyce Kincaid, Joe Billy Roper, and Gorman Orders. Our representatives for the May Court were Joyce Kincaid and Nancy Scott. Sophomores—Throughout our sophomore year we had many difficulties, but we had overcome our timidity. We elected that year as our class officers Joe Billy Roper, President; Stanley Palmer, Vice-President; and Wayne Beck, Secretary and Treasurer. Our represen- tatives on the Student Council were Dorothy Ledford, Bobbie Brittain, and Jimmy Graham. In the May Court, Louana Anderson and Joyce Poteat were our attendants. In the Halloween Carnival held this year, Joyce Kincaid represented our class. Juniors—As juniors we realized our impor- tance and exercised our privileges as much as the seniors would permit. Our class officers were Jimmy Graham, President; Gorman Pitts, Vice-President; Robert Taylor, Secre- tary; and Gorman Orders, Treasurer. Serving on the Student Council from our class were Dorothy Ledford, Nancy Scott, Gorman Pitts, and Joe Carswell. Dorothy Ledford was sec- retary of the Student Council. Attendants in the May Court were Betty Ann LaFevers and Maxine Roper. Our Junior-Senior Banquet was successful—so the seniors said. We took them on an imaginary trip “Way Down South” with Miss Allman as our sponsor. Our mar- shals for graduating exercises were Betty Ann LaFevers, Dorothy Ledford, Mariana Perkins, Carolyn Denney, Hazel Lowman, and Gorman Orders. At last we were Seniors! The goal we had been striving for with great anticipation had finally come. We won many honors this year. Our class officers were Ralph White, Presi- dent; Charles Bennett, Secretary; Wayne Beck, Vice-President; and Joe Billy Roper, Treasurer. For May King and Queen, the student body elected Carolyn Denney and Gorman Pitts respectively; Anna Brooks was Maid of Honor. The attendants for this oc- casion were Joyce Wachob and Doris Craw- ley. On the Annual Staff from our class this year were Betty Ann LaFevers, Editor-In- Chief; Joyce Kincaid, Assistant Editor; Caro- lyn Denney, Business Manager; and Dorothy Ledford, Assistant Business Manager. For a short moment we hesitate here. A few years ago we were children, protected and carefree. Now we have grown up— Adults, responsible for ourselves and the fu- ture. We know that out there somewhere is a place for each of us, whether it be stately, small or an humble one. The years together have been happy ones. We have shared happiness, sorrow, and classes together. In the future we know this band of friendship will come to the aid of those in our class who need it. We extend the deepest appreciation to those who have helped us gain this place. Joyce PoTEAT Class Historian AN: Class Prophecy It was July 1960 and as I traveled home for a two weeks’ vacation, I chanced to pick up a newspaper. Thumbing through the pages, I was surprised to see that Joyce Kincaid, popular Conover Model, had been chosen the “Model of the Year.” Further on I noticed that Marie Phillips was now Arthur Murray’s tap dancing instructor. Seeing that these two cheerleaders of former school days had obtained such success in life, I wondered where the other Seniors of 1950 could be. As soon as I reached home, I went over to the school where I learned Anna Brooks and Joe Billy Roper were Physical Education Instructors. Imagine my surprise when I saw Charles Tate sitting behind the principal's desk! As we talked over old times, Carolyn Denney remarked that many old students now were teaching here. Betty Ann LaFevers was now the commercial teacher, Hazel Lowman, the physics teacher, and Jean Orders, the history teacher. We began talking about sports and I told him that Jimmy Graham was Coach Wilson’s new assistant at the University of North Carolina. Our con- versation also revealed that Walter Giles was now a big alumnus of Carolina, and that Bill Perkins was recently named Manager of The Brooklyn Dodgers—after being their star catcher for seven years. We were looking over the records and I learned that most of the Seniors of ‘50 had gone into business. Bill Fredrickson had just opened up a used car lot. Gorman Orders was manager of the Morganton Food Store; Paul Browning was his assistant. Wayne Beck, now married to Joyce Wachob, owned the Box- wood; Nancy Scott was operating it for him. Ralph White, owner of the Burke Transit, presented an award to Raymond Brittain and Bobby Dale for faithful service recently. Tommy Rich, Gorman Pitts, and Robert Tay- lor bought out the Dixie Supper Club and made it one of the outstanding “Nite Spots” in this area. Finding that Joyce Poteat was the new Publisher of the News Herald, I glanced through the tabloid, and saw that Mariana Perkins and Maxine Roper, co-owners of the Carolina 5 10¢ Store, were advertising a sale to end all sales. There was also an ad for Morrison’s Beauty Shoppe; Dorothy Led- ford, Shirley McGalliard, and Doris Crawley were her trusted operators. Also, Joe Carswell was named president of the Burke County Beagle Club. Thanking Principal Tate and bidding all my friends there goodbye, I hurried home to rest before returning to my job as Publicity Director for The University of Chapel Hill.
