We are thankful to have had willing and helpful teachers who always gave use great opportunities to advance our knowledge and find our places in the world. On August 27, 1942 a group of Freshmen dared to enter a school of higher learning which we though would be more than we could undertake because it would be different from the regular routine of grammar school. We were ex- pected to make out a schedule for a day’s work. We were already learning some- thing new; “How to figure things out for ourselves.” But with the aid of Miss Sara Wellman and Miss Mary Fletcher we soon became accustomed to our new tasks and surroundings. From the very beginning our aim was to grow and in- crease in wisdom until we reached that final goal as high school graduates. A few of our classmates had already become members of school activities. After getting a good start in our first year we were advanced to a higher class xalled sophomores. As our advisors, we had Mrs. M. C. Barnhardt, Jr., and Miss Martha Miller. Having once been high school students themselves they understood and led us through another successful year. Our spirits were high as we com- pleted half of our four-year course. With a grand new year ahead of us, we began to strive hard to be good Jun- iors as we would soon be leaders of the school and we must set a good example. We sure must have lived up to the old name of “jolly Juniors” because everybody was in fine spirits. Our leaders were Mrs. M. C. Barnhardt, Jr., and Miss Edith Chambers. In order to finance a Junior-Senior banquet given by the Juniors an- nually, a play entitled “Bound to Marry” was presented to obtain funds for the occasion. The informal banquet was held in the gymnasium on April 14, 1944. The pirate theme was carried out with the Senior’s fortunes hidden as the pirate treas- ure. With many of our class taking responsibilities to carry on the duties of our high school we at last were at the top. To lead us through the final year our advisors were Mrs. J. L. Sowers and Miss Anne Cress. We were assigned full duties which are given to the Seniors. All these were carried out favorably to the end. Now as we come to the close of those four happy years, our faces and hearts turn to the future. A glorious future in which this generation will take a leading part in world affairs and making peace among all nations. As we have persevered through high school tasks, may we always keep that perseverence throughout our future tasks.

Hereupon we, the foresaid class of ’45 do affix our signatures and seal to this, June 1 in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred forty-five. Rosalie Adams, Lawyer Witnesses, Class of 745. PR@ pine Gra On May 30, 1955 the members of the class of ’45 met as had been resolved before to reunite and make a survey of each person’s career, so as to see how each one had prepared himself in the great battle of life. When I graduated from school ten years ago, my career called. me to cities far away from the vicinity in which I grew up. Many times I wondered if Salisbury and the little town of Granite Quarry had changed to the modern ways of the postwar world. Upon my return I saw that both had responded to the new scientific ways of life. I landed on the airfield just outside the city limits. On the roofs of all business buildings were landing fields for the small planes that now have taken place of automobiles. Many new solar office buildings of glass were to be seen. The roads of Granite Quarry were hard surfaced, with new wide sidewalks on either side. The school that I had known was no where to be seen. Instead a new modern building, four stories high stood in its place. While trying to find the auditorium, I ran into several class rooms with so many modern improvements that I could hardly believe it was old Granite. The meeting was called to order by the president of the senior class, Harold Melton, who is now co-owner of Salisbury Cut-Rate Furniture Store. Miss Betty Kluttz is now famous as an opera star on the stage of New York. The professional pianist from WBT is none other than Emma Lou Fisher. Jimmy Brown is a prominent lawyer of New York City. Jimmy reports that he knows the law “from a to z,” especially the divorce laws. The biggest talker ever enrolled in one class has made use of her tongue. Now Rosalie Adams is nationally known for her comical speeches. She won the national prize in the talking Marathon held two years ago. Three girls who were always trying to sing have finally succeeded. June Thomas, Daphnea Earnhardt and Ada Bowers are now known as a singing trio, “The Quarrier Girls.” Marion Reeves has lived up to her heart’s ambition. She’s studied to get her B.S. degree but she became a M.R.S. Virginia Lingle is doing missionary work in Japan. Billy Eagle is now one of North Carolina’s largest farmers. He says he would have never been successful, had it not been for the training he received from Mr. Wolfe. His farm is equipped with reconverted war machinery. There were two members of our class who were always seeking adventure, and now their careers show they loved it. L. B. Eller and Sue Kluttz are now the acrobats of Ringling Brothers Circus. Irene Elium always did like Boston and the war plant there, in fact she liked it so well she bought the plant and converted it to a nylon hose mill. Needless to say she is becoming very wealthy. Jimmy Staton has earned for himself the highest degree, a Ph.D. in English Grammar. The universities throughout the world are trying to secure his services. There was nothing Ed Lesley craved more than the life of a cowboy. His dreams have come true. His dairy is now the best in Rowan County. Doris Peeler gave the citizens of old Granite Quarry a severe shock by doing “Lindy Hop” and other light fantastic toe exhibitions at the local theater. But Frances Holshouser, the county nurse, is always ready and brought the community back to life with her smelling salts and ammonia bottles. Lawrence Fink has really made a name for himself, as the discoverer of a synthetic tire made of plastics. Lawrence is now owner of Fink’s Garage and Motor Company located at Faith. Jim Eller just couldn’t stay out of the movies. He is now manager of the Capi- tol Theater where the new three dimensional pictures are shown. Ray Banks Kluttz is now selling television sets at Kluttz Music Store east of Granite Quarry. They say he has really been successful. Ruby Haire and Doris Corl went west for a screen test at Hollywood. They decided there were better things than being movie stars so now Doris is demon- strating the new Ford cars, and Ruby is helping to demonstrate her husband’s wealth at Baltimore. Velma Eagle has become the official advisor of a northern baseball star, once Granite’s star player. Peggy Lyerly has astounded the French nation by her superior conversational French. She has accepted a position in the largest university in France. Vonnie Agner is telling everyone to be prepared. He is not a preacher, how- ever, but a most prosperous insurance agent. Norman Holshouser is personal advisor to President Roosevelt for whom he made stump speeches in the 1944 election. Inez Bernhardt took a course for and intended to be a doctor, but inspired by the shortage of teachers during the recent war she is working on a method by - injecting education into children probably by the hypodermic method. Joe Lyerly, a music lover, is winning his way into the hearts of the bobby sock gang by giving his own compositions of the latest popular music. Shook Printing Company of the South, which prints everything from postage stamps to books is owned by none other than Grover Shook. Francis Doyle now owns the Doyle Shoe Factory of Salisbury and no factory has more visitors than he, but I believe it is because of his model, Pearl Fisher, instead of the shoes. Frances Hunsucker married shortly after graduation and is now living near _ Spencer, N. C. The star player of Denver’s Midwestern SEETOE Basketball team is no one but Granite’s star player, Frankie Poole. Harvey Trexler is inventing a machine by which the energy from the sun can be used for heating and lighting modern homes and buildings. Frank Shaver is football coach at Duke University and is also making a special study: of the Greek language in his spare time. Helen Barger and Mary Ellen Gibson are giving lectures at the University of ’ Virginia. They are now known as the Shakespeares of today. A section of the Congressional Library has been devoted to the works of Jack:Page, the well-known author and playwright. Mary Frances Starnes still enjoys going to school. After receiving degrees from various universities and studying abroad, she is now a successful teacher. Fred Gheen and Marcus Sifford now own a plane taxi service in Salisbury. It has taken place of the automobile taxis of yesterday. Perry Suttle is known throughout the neighborhood as a gifted architect. He is a specialist in constructing solar houses, built almost entirely of glass. The wish of Naomi Brown is fulfilled. She is now leading the choir at the church around the corner. It has never rendered better music. Donald Hoke is president of the United Lutheran Church in America. Dressed up in a tall silk hat and a swallowtail coat, Donald certainly feels his office, being the youngest man ever elected to this position. Since graduation day the world has changed from a wartorn world to one of scientific reality. The class of 1945, graduating in a year of warfare, has fitted into a world at peace. We have helped to make this peace. May we help to keep the peace. THE Gna ons ONE TuNE: Trees The time has come to say good-bye To dear old Granite Quarry High The parting is so very near And in my eyes a blur of tears How can I ever say so long To friends so true so brave so strong. The teachers and kids I know This is so long to you and all our fun The parting will be hard to bear We've had some fun together here Teachers we appreciate All the things you’ve taught us here.
