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.
