The Wag Staff has tried to carry out the theme of a ladder in this year’s annual, We believe our years here at Graham High School are an endeavor to reach the top in athletics, ceneineeties sae character, We, the senior Bist sincerely wish that all who follow in our steps will find their years at Graham High as happy and as successful as ours have been. We hav e attempted to carry with this WAG a mess- age to enable us to recall in years to come the wonder- ful days of 1952 and 1953, DEDICATION With respect and sincere appreciation, we, the senior class of 1953, dedicate the WAG to Mr. R. L, Hill for his faithful service and friendly interest in our school and community. S@7 OTS Ge Tare THEY BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR OUR EDUCATION Working to secure the best educational program for Graham High School are our two principals-Mr. C. R. Benson, High School principal, and Mr. N. G. Bryan, District principal. Through their leader- ship and guidance the school has gown and improved in many ways. A large portion of the credit for our new Graham High School should go to our school board consisting of chair- man Mr. Hal Farrell, Rev. Eugene Han- cock, Mr. Myron Rhyne, and Mr. Griffin McClure. They have worked together to help solve the many problems that have arisen since we moved into our new building last year. Dr. W. G. Goley was absent when the picture was taken, ” THESE ARE THE ONES MRS, MARY BAILEY, A.B. History, Physical Education, Debating Advisor. WORE, Gp Ik ITN, GIs) AGIs, IME J.

As 1963 came into view and we finally reached the top, we realized that our struggles to achieve acclaim were worthwhile. As we looked back down the ladder, we saw our classmates starting out in their chosen careers. Richard James is now the owner of an airport with Tommy Fogleman as the instructor, teaching beautiful women the art of flying. Bud Lineberry, as usual, is still loafing around playing pro football. Chief-nurse of High Point Memorial Hospital is Joyce Creef. Her assistants are Patsy Isley, Betty Ann Burch, and Frances Albright. Betsy Kirkman and Greta Jones are on their way to Holly wood to visit their old flame, Joe Holt, the handsome movie idol of millions. The big-wheels of Graham seem to be Bill King, a big stock holder in his father’s mill; James Michels, the well-known optometrist; Cecil Moser, the owner of a chain of Home Appliance Stores. The former Betty Rudd works in a bank-a fact which makes it easy to support her husband, Charles Belcher, David Michael has returned from his first important jet mission, bombing Moscow. Thomas James and his co-worker, Becky Stuckey, have just com- pleted a new unabridged Geometry book. Jane Wrike’s talking ability has gotten her elected as Graham's first woman Mayor. Allen Jarmon, Democrat President of the United States, is spending a month’s vacation at his log cabin estate on the banks of the beautiful Alamance Creek, Flash! John Layton and James Austin have just been voted the World’s Best Comedians, They have taken the place of Amos and Andy. Mrs. Pat Bradshaw, the former Pat Seamon, is always borrowing sugar from her neighbor, Mrs. Dorothy Lee, the former Dorothy Bayliff Bill Ray is now the owner and manager of the new and modern Ford Motor Company. Phillip Davis, who took over his father’s business, is now the owner of Graham's swankiest restaurant, The Silver Coach. An unusual thing about Mary Lou Okey, now a voice teacher, is that all her pupils are males. Wonder what the interest is--the voice or the beauty? ? Professors Coy Thompson and Roger Webster are now directors of the Chemistry Department at Carolina. Creamy News: Tommy Ray, Harold Campbell, Glen Thomas, and Bobby Moore have more cows on their dairy farms than Carter has little liver pills. After being successful secretaries for five years, Martha Sue Guthrie, Betty Jean Sharpe, and Patsy King Dancey have opened a secretarial school to teach others the trade, Attention: All ladies with straight and stringy hair just see Bill Lashley. He has the answer to your problem--a Toni Home Permanent, Dr. Jerry D. Kivett, famous psychiatrist, is vacationing in Hawaii on his yacht, John Andrews just won the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery beyond the call of duty in Korea. Pete Core has become a ‘‘tubby for a hubby”’ for anice girl. They say that Clifford McCauley is making a big success as ahusband. Betsy McVey, nurse at Duke’s Hospital, is engaged to Dr. Arnold Shivosky, the famous surgeon from Czechoslovakia. Billie Faye Welch, Betty Joyce Burch, and Polly Sykes are always busy- caring for their 15 children. Agatha Russell and Frankie Blackwelder just sailed for Haiti where they will serve as missionaries for six years, Virginia Moore is an X-Ray technician at Graham City Hospital. John Wooten is now serving as Lieutenant Governor of our state. Marie Sides, world known designer from New York, is now visiting her home town, Graham, Winston Drummond and Bill Fincher, the famous car dealers, have just received the new England Fleeter, which they helped design.

STAFF The purpose of the WAG Staff is to compose an annual which will always be treasured by the students of Graham High. Into the make- up of this book goes the hard work of the staff members and the guidance of our ad- visor. Many hours must be spent on details such as making picture schedules, planning poses for pictures, choosing quotations for seniors, and selecting titles for the different clubs, After returning from selling ads, Jane Wrike, Advertising Manager, and Gene Goley, Assistant Advertising Manager, have the job of checking their sales.

The Student Council was responsible for editing and publishing a new handbook for the students this year. The Council spon- sors the Homecoming game and dance held in the fall and College and Career Day. ” THE “CRACKER”? TELLS ALL ‘SD Gk The Graham Cracker Staff has done a fine job editing and publishing our school paper, The Cracker, Our mimeo- . graphed paper is published i ss every two weeks by the Senior SE AS English classes. Much credit : | | oor should go to the typists who type and mimeograph the paper, to the editors who plan the as- signments, and to the circula- tion staff that distributes the paper. The articles for the Graham Cracker cover the many activities in and about the school, Through the co- operation of the Seniors in the two English classes the staff has been able to put out a good paper which all the students ai : Ry enjoy reading. Co-Editors Betsy Kirkman and Dorothy Bayliff are consulting with the advisors Mrs. Elizabeth Price and Mr. C. R. Benson about the next edition of the paper. 4 os hn 7 The Graham Cracker Staff members are Betsy McVey, Pete Core, Joe Holt, Jane Wrike, Frances Blackwelder, Dorothy Bayliff, Betty Rudd, James Michels, Billi e Faye Welch, Phillip Davis, Betsy Kirkman, David Michael, Mary Lou Okey, Roger Webster and Pat Seamon, The purpose of the National Honor So- ciety is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in pupils of Graham High School.

A Maid of Honor -M Wicoried bye ee Jerry Kivett The Homecoming Activities were high lighted with a parade in which the queen, Jane Wrike, with escort, Tommy Fogleman, and her attendants, Mary Lou Okey and Jerry Kivett, appeared. Dur- ing half-time ceremonies of the game between Graham and Oxford High School, Jane was crowned queen by Mrs. R. L. Hill, who was president of the Senior Class of 1927, On May 9, 1952, the Junior Class honored the Senior Class with the annual Junior-Senior banquet. The decorations in the banquet hall carried out the class colors, lavender and white. After dining the couples went into the gym where in the center of the floor was a large Maypole tied with streamers of pastel shades.- UV} Delightful music which was furnished by the Four Notes from Burlington was enjoyed throughout the evening. As their last selection they played ''Goodnight Sweet- heart,'' while everyone gathered around the Maypole to wind it, After this the couples started slowly drift- ing away in foursomes, reluctantly leaving an unfor- gettable event. Soft music, dim lights, and a gaily decorted gym set the theme, ‘‘The Maypole, ’’ for our Junior-Senior dance. Our janitor, Paschal ‘‘Pat’ Holmes, is always ready to greet the students with a smile. An- swering calls, keeping the building warm, and making countless repair jobs are only a few of his duties. The efficient maids do a wonderful job of keeping the halls, rest rooms and class rooms clean and neat, Below is a picture of some students at first lunch period. They are eagerly awaiting one of the nourishing meals prepared for them by the well experienced cooks under the direction of Mrs, J. F. Sherrard who can be seen in the background. su!
