( CRAMITE GUATRY SEHNOSCL-HIRE TEEN FORTY THREE HISTORY As Historian of the Senior Class of 1943 of the Granite Quarry High School, I submit the following log, presenting the data and experiences of the graduating class: In the autumn of 1939, a group of young Americans, num= bering 72, entered Officers Candidate School, located in Gran- ite Quarry , North Carolina. Under the splendid direction of Captains Sérah Wellman and Mary Fletcher, the students began to like the military techniques. The President was Private Brent Yount; Vice-President, Auxiliary Alice Holler; Secretary Auxiliary Mary Evelyn Kluttz; and Treasurer, Private Bill Lyerlye After being on maneuvers for a few months, some of this same group of young OCS's, numbering 58, entered the second year of training, filled with new hopes and aspirations. Un- der the direction of General Paul Angell, the class advanced rapidly. The President was Private Marjorie James; Secretary, Private Voneva Brown; and Treasurer, Private First Class Bill Lyerlye The young OCS's, numbering 47, were back again to resume their studies in the fall of 1941, determined to make a high rating. General William Rhyne was instructor. The officers were, elected with Corporal Horace Hoke, President; Corporaz Brent Yount, Vice-President; Corporal Doris Beck, Secretary; SraevoOrporanla hi bie Vverby ser reo sure. A group of young candi- dates presented a wonderful, humor-filled play entitled, Poor Married Man , directed by Captain Alice Hicks Lyerly, to the officers, men; parents, and friends of the Granite Quarry, (in Tanury Division. In the year 1942, a group of more dignified, ambitious Americans entered the fourth and last year of training. Cap- tain Ruth Sowers led this group victoriously. Sergeant Shir- ley Ketner was President; Sergeant James Walser, Vice-Presi- dent; Sergeant Thelma Eagle, Secretary;and Sergeant Wade Peel- or, Treasurer. During the entire.four years of training, Mr, E. CG. Sta= ton was Commanding Officer, Carl Baity, of the Senior Class, has already responded to the call to fight for the freedoms and priveleges which our fore-fathers came to establish in America almost a century and BP HeLa ro. CRAMITE QUARRY S€EHSCSL-NINTTECN FORTY- THREE Now this group of. young Americens has graduated with a high rating. of Second-Lieutenants (jg) in the Army Reserve. They are now ready to take their stand in the world; ready to fight, and even die for their country. We were born Americans, we live as Americans; we shall die as Americans! As we go into the world that awaits for us, Our battle-cry should be: One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, one nation evermore! It was Addison who said: Who would not be that youth? What pity is it that we can die but once to save our country.

And anyone who would find the treasure would become heir to all the wealth of the tribe unto the fifth generation. Down through the centuries hun- dreds of explorers have made the search, but none ever found the hidden treasure, Learning a few days ago that the search is still open for any high school senior, and that the value of the treas+ ure has increased a million times since it was first buried, I hurried to the supposed scene with this one aim, namely to find the treasure and bring it back with me to Granite Quarry to become the prized possession of the Class of 1943. After many hours of faithful digging I unearthed an object which I thought was the coveted treasure, But I soon discovered that I was, sadly disappointed. All I hed was a rough ball-shaped object, seeningly of no value. But I would not give up, I chiseled and scraped until I began to see reflections of Something on the inside. And whet do you think? Deep in the center I saw the figures 1-9-4-3. And in one little polished spot I saw the word Class , Then I got busy end the longer I worked the more words I could see, And these words turned out to be the names of my classmetes., The ball had every name in it, and as I turned it around toward the light I could see sonething written under each name, This writing I will try to reproduce so that you can see what I Saw.
