SUPERLATIVES Nine 1944 GREEN LIGHTS ♦ ♦ SUPERLATIVES 1944 GREEN LIGHTS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY About five years ago we began our life in Greenville High School. Since then we have developed from the bashful Freshmen into some of the best leaders of the school. During our first years in Junior High, we became familiar with the students, the school, and its activities and organizations. We developed a respect for these things and frequently dreamed of the day when we would really be a part of them. We were creating within ourselves a desire to become some of the leaders of the school. In the tenth grade we began to participate in the extra curricular activities. Members of our class joined various clubs and organiza- tions. We were proud to have a member of our class elected as Treasurer of the Student Cooperative Association that year. As Juniors, we first worked as an organ- ized group. Our first officers were Jack Scott, President; Mattie Harris Mayo, Vice-Presi- dent; Shirley Savage, Secretary; and Wil- liam Keck, Treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers, we sponsored several school entertainments and conducted a successful magazine sale. The proceeds from these went into the Junior-Senior Dance which we gave in May. This successful affair summed up our activities as Juniors. Because of her high scholastic average, Peggy Rose Smith has served as Chief Mar- shal of our Class. Her assistants have been Elizabeth Kittrell, Mattie Harris Mayo, Betsy Hellen, Margaret Joyce Clark, Annie Lee Powell, and Hennie Ruth Whichard. During the summer of 1943 thirty-five members of our class received their high school diplomas. These students were those who had attended summer school or had passed the college entrance examination. Now some are attending college, working, or are in the various branches of the service. We have missed these students and still feel that they are a part of us. We began our Senior year as a small class suffering the loss of the early graduates. In spite of this, however, we were able to achieve success in all our undertakings. The most important undertaking of the year was the publication of the yearbook. Green Lights, and this annual proved to be a great improvement over previous years. The Staff was elected by the class and they were as follows: Co-Editors, Betsy Hellen and Peggy Rose Smith ; Business Manager, Hennie Ruth Whichard; Literary Editor, Dick Worsley; Photography Editor, Harper Darden; and Advertising Manager, Neill Posey. The Staff was assisted by members of the class. We presented the annual Christmas program, sponsored the filling of two Christmas bas- kets, and conducted a very successful station- ery sale. We also gave several dances, and sponsored a basketball game between the Juniors and Seniors. The following officers were elected at the first class meeting of the year: President, Mattie Harris Mayo; Vice-President, Hennie Ruth Whichard; Secretary, Shirley Savage; and Treasurer, Russell Gardner. It was under this capable leadership that we completed our last year of work. With the end of our life as Seniors came the end of our life as students of Greenville High School. This life has been a pleasant one and we shall never forget it and all the memories that it afforded. Eleven ★ ★ 1944 GREEN LIGHTS ★ ★ ★ ★ PROPHECY After spending several very successful years in the South Seas, Snag Minshew and I pull into port at Miami Beach. As we alight from our schooner, the Never-Sail, we see Congressman Dick Worsley boarding his private yacht. Obviously he is about to start on another of his famous fishing trips. After visiting the high spots of Miami, we con- tinue our way. At Charleston, the next stop, we see the Reverend Lupton slyly leaving the Silver Slipper Club. Theodore seems to be doing very well in the Parson business. At Morehead City we dock our little craft and hop a plane for Green- ville. Our companion is Bernard West, who is using his manly physique to a good advantage as a life guard. He informs us that his nephew, Pete, is a successful carpenter and that his now bald head is a decided improvement to his looks. From the airport we take the subway for Five Points where we find Wallace Gurganus looking sad and wretched. It seems that his latest wife has just croaked him with a frying pan and sent him to get a new bottle for the baby. While we are talking who lands on the corner in his new helicopter but Russell Gardner, new President of the Flanagan Buggy Company. Strolling into the Rainbow Club, we meet a big red nose, behind which we find Billy Denton who has just starred in a revived version of a picture made by Jimmy Durante to whom he bears a remarkable resemblance. Billy unconsciously leads us to the juke box where he borrows a nickel so that we can hear Boots Broadwell moan, I ' ve Got the Blues for Someone to Love. It is now Sunday, and after we decide to visit a few more old classmates, we begin a search for addresses and telephone numbers. Judging from the marks beside it, Margaret Joyce Clark ' s number is the most popular. Arriving at her home, we find that she has just hooked old Curley, who is already miserably whimpering in the dog-house. We collect a choice bit of news here, for Mar- garet tells us that Peggy Rose {not Gypsy Rose), is doing mighty well on Broadway, and that Susanne is rather successful in Burlesque. In the evening Tom Moore, his wife (the former Louise Speight), and little Tommy join us as we go to the Methodist Church where everybody in town goes now since the energetic, silver-tongued Ralph Fleming has become pastor. Many old friends are there. Buster Filers is the organist — he ' s quite good, I ' m told. In the all-girl choir we see Hennie Ruth, the highest paid soloist in town, Adelaide Warren, Anne Morton, and Betsy Nobles, who give out Boogie-Woogie every night but sing like angels on Sunday. There is also Safie Wil- liams, whose theme song. Night and Date, is the most popular record played at W. G. T. C. Mary Barden Taylor accompanies her on the flute. In the congregation we see Harriett Harrington, Dorothy Harrington, Doris Dickinson, Rena Oakes, and Marie Coward, all of whom married war heroes. Mondav evening while on a sight-seeing tour we run into Harper 5-high Darden, the proud owner and operator of Joe ' s, a most amazing establishment. As we enter, the lights grow dim and from the background flit Joyce Corbette, Betsy Hellen, Mary Anne Duncan, and Lib Kittrell giv- ing a most remarkable rendition of the Bumpsy- Daisy, more popular than the Can-Can ever was. As Knott Proctor and his Off-Key Three furnish the music, Peggy Mitchell sings the vocal, and Shorty Johnson comes forth with her tan- talizing Snake Dance. Bidding Harper farewell we start to our hotel. On the way, we see Neill Posey, English grammar book under his arm, scurrying down the street. He is following in the steps of his father. In the lobby we meet Grace Peele, Julia Conway, and Christine Mozingo re- turning from the library where they ' ve been read- ing How to Make Your Husband Happy. Who should drift in but Gladys Reagan, Wilma Allen, Gloria Bell, Irene Forbes, Mary Lou Hardee, Sudie Carawan, and Edna Ipock, who have been to the theater to see their ideal. Not Sohotra. As the girls swoon out of the picture, we hear from Mike ' s Billiard Parlor next door, the voice o f Johnny Wilson piercing the night with the cry, Rack, Larry! We join a group around the radio and listen to the story, told in person, of how Merciless Simmons won the war single-handed. Purchasing a Daily Reflection, we proceed to our room where we retire among its very informative pages. Un- folding the front page we read: Senatress Mattie Harris Mayo Reports to the Nation on the Pro- hibition Bill. Well, she finally did it! From the Social Column we learn that Ruby Moye has re- turned to the Metropolis of Maury after spending a few eventful days in Greenville. We find also that Shirley Savage, Charlotte Robertson, and Helen Aman have arrived in the city of sunshine after a pleasant stretch in Dix Hill. So ends a week-end visit to dear old Greenville in the year 1954. Dangerous, wasnt it?! Ttvelve 1944 GREEN LIGHTS LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the war deprived Senior Class of 1944, be- ing of able body and army age, do hereby be- queath all of our hard-earned high school posses- sions to those we leave behind.

S. leave Miss Estelle Greene and Miss Jessie Belle Lewis with the hope that the result of stress, strain, ' nd worry will not cause too many gray hairs. Article XLV. The Senior Class grab their di- plomas and run, leaving behind this comforting thought for the Juniors: Commencement is just around the corner ! © 1944 GREEN LIGHTS ★ ★ PREVARICATOR Having completed all the projects for their various classes, the Seniors are now loafing around school with nothing to do. Mr. Rose has an- nounced that, since the students have done such good work, school will be closed two weeks early. Already he has signed a contract to have the doors and windows bolted for the summer. So it looks as if the boys and girls will have to spend their spare time for the next three months elsewhere. Miss Usrey absolutely refuses to give a final exam to any of her classes. Says she, I think nine months is too long for students to be expected to remember algebra and geometry. Miss Greene heartily agrees with her. When Elizabeth Kittrell and Knott Proctor ' s new solid geometry textbook comes off the press, all disagreement will be ironed out. It is based on the theory that pupils must be shown examples of solid figures before they can grasp the mean- in- of the numerous theorems of the subject. A special feature of the book is a list of places where such figures may be found; for example, the trylon and perisphere at the site of the 1939 New York World ' s Fair, the pyramids in Egypt, and Boulder Dam on the Colorado River. Billy Denton has formed a company to get up English assignments for those less gifted in that art than himself. His motto is: I can do anything Miss Lewis can dish out. Good grades guaranteed. His first customers were Peggy Rose Smith, Hen- nie Ruth Whichard, and Mary Anne Duncan. Mattie Harris Mayo introduced a bill in the Student Council outlawing any person holding more than one office at a time. President Ralph Fleming ruled the motion out of order, but Harper Darden objected, suggesting that the mat- ter be referred to the judicial committee. At chairman Susanne Kilgo ' s request Mattie Harris agreed to meet with the committee as an ex- officio member. At a recent teachers ' meeting a motion to for- bid tests on Mondays and Fridays was unani- mously passed. Mr. Dowd stated that the rule would be strictly enforced and any faculty mem- ber caught disobeying it will be expelled from school. A recent announcement from the office asked all students to use the underground railway to Bis- sett ' s when going to and from lunch. In this way less time will be consumed enroute, and every- one will have a longer period for socializing. Neill Posey and Bernard West have a garage where they sell ration-free gasoline, which Neill distills in the physics laboratory under Mr. Robin- son ' s supervision. All the engine repair work is done by Bernard, a master mechanic. Sara Frances Williams, Peggy Mitchell, Betsy Hellen, and Margaret Clark have been given special permission to skip school whenever Green- ville High School servicemen get leaves. Mr. Rose considers the practice an excellent morale booster for the boys as well as for the girls. Mrs. Herring has finally been made to see that no one can open a book very wide in one night. From now on all books may be kept out for an indefinite length of time. Many students have complained about the war- time plastic ash trays now being used throughout the building. The criticism is that they have no place for cigars or pipes. There is a move under foot now to discontinue smoking entirely if better ash trays aren ' t furnished soon. When Coach Bo Farley left he promised to be on the lookout for baseball teams in Europe that could give the Phantoms some competition. It was thought that perhaps Mr. Hitler might scrape up an all-European team in a last desperate ef- fort to win one more history-making victory be- fore passing out of the picture. The latest word from the Government is that Greenville High School has done far more than its share in the war effort. This is bad for several reasons. First of all, it discourages other schools and gives their students an inferiority complex. Second, it creates too large surplus of scrap paper and metals in the warehouses and too great a treasury surplus. But most important is the fact that it does not leave our students enough time and money for the pursuit of their own happiness.

BAND The 1943-44 High School Band played for numerous patriotic rallies and programs. The band also gave several concerts, participated in the Christmas parade, played for many local events and has broadcast from the High School Band room. Because of the war, the annual district contest, which previously has been held each spring, has been discontinued for the duration. However, five members represented the Greenville High School Band at the Eastern All-State Band Contest, which was held in Henderson, North Carolina, this year. Sixty students are now playing in the band, and only a small number will be lost through graduation. G. H. S. ORCHESTRA The High School Orchestra has been organized only two years. Although it has rendered few programs and radio broadcasts, the orchestra has shown much improvement. The success of this year ' s orchestra is accredited to the increase in membership, and the opportunity for practice during a school period.
