LAUNCHING-1941 Afloat in the ship that leaders built, Bresting the waves of passing years; We leave a harbor loved so well. To fight the gale of future fears. Her sails are cut of ambition ' s urge, Her solid hull of virtue ' s stock; Protects her youthful cargo — Hope, With hawsers dry from the fading dock. Her slim, sleek prow is guided by The vigilant rudder of Education: As on through the stormy sea of life, Plows the staunch ship of Graduation. Along the perilous coast we speed, Escaping the grasp of the clutching shore; By winking beacons long our route. Kindled by seniors gone before. A cannon-salute to the teachers, wise, And to our friends so dear and true; The captain ' s compliments to see, This modest log-book of the Crew. Page Twenty THE CLASS OF ' 42 A turn of the key in its lock opens a treasured sea chest filled with memories and on the very top of this priceless store is the Log of the Good Ship Harding ' 42. The captain ' s compliments to see, This modest log-book of the crew. LOG OF THE GOOD SHIP HARDING ' 42 September, 1936 The good ship Harding ' 42 sets forth this morning on her maiden voyage with 175 passengers aboard. All passen- gers are boarding ship for the first time. As yet the squalls, tempests, and calms of the ocean are unknown to them. The crew in charge numbers 13. Mr. Hawkins, our pilot, is to guide us through the Sea of Knowledge to the Port of Life. Weather ahead appears fair and the future looks promising. Quite a bit of nervousness is noticed among the passengers this morning due to the unaccustomed sounds of clanging bells, and the combination locks on their sea chests. Leaders were selected today from among the passengers. They are: President, Lillian Daugherty; Vice-President, Joe James; Secretary, George Taylor; and Treasurer, Philip Woerner. Mrs. Summerville was chosen from the crew to be our adviser. June, 1937 After nine months of sailing the ship drops anchor at a small unknown port to refuel. September, 1937 Passengers again board ship — this time as veteran saitors. Our course is once more set and we are off. Leaders are chosen for this part of the voyage. They are: President, Lura Mae Johnston; Vice-President, Dorothy Linder; Secretary, Lillian Daugherty; and Treasurer, George Taylor. April, 1938 Passengers, crew, and officers transferred today in mid-ocean to the new, more spacious decks of the ship. A great deal of excitement was shown over the new gym, galley, laboratories, shop, and commercial depart- ment. September, 1938 At the helm for this lap are: President, Philip Woerner; Vice-President, Lonnie Abernathy; Secretary, Margaret Fast, and Treasurer, Marjorie Jones. By this time all passengers have discovered that this voyage over the sea of knowledge is not all smooth-sailing. September, 1939 We seem to be nearing the star of our ambition now. This marks our first year on the senior decks. Through the mist we can begin to see the shore for which we are striving. Leaders for this time are: President, Johnny Miller; Vice-President, Joe James, and Secretary- Treasurer, Doris Foster. Miss Lloyd is chosen as our new crew adviser. May-June, 1940 Entertainment this year included a theatre party won by Mrs. Shore ' s group in a P. T. A. contest, skating parties, and on the last day of school a swimming party at the Willamette Swimming Pool. Results many blistered beauties — and otherwise. September, 1940 This, our Junior Year, started off with a bang. Excitement is running high. The first business was to elect our officers. Those selected were: President, John Miller; Vice-President, Dorothy Linder; Secretary, Mar- garet Fast, and Treasurer, Philip Woerner. November, 1940 Junior Marshals are selected. They are: Lib White, Chief; Dot Linder, Assistant Chief; Lura Johnston, Assistant Chief ; Sara Black, Louise Camp, Mar- garet Fast, Frances Fulk, Ruth Jenkins, John Miller, Alice Steinback, Mary Taylor, and Philip Woerner. Plans for the Junior-Senior Banquet are also being made now. May 30, 1941 The Junior-Senior Banquet, held at Efird ' s tonight was, indeed, a gala occasion. The theme of the event was truly patriotic. The program was in the shape of a map of the United States with a picture of the Capitol on the front. John Miller served as toastmaster, and the speaker of the evening was Mrs. Shore, whose subject was Democracy Gems. Guests seated at the speakers ' desk were: Mrs. Shore, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins, Miss Sandifer, Mr. and Mrs. Harding, Dr. and Mrs. Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer, and Mr. and Mrs. Irwin. The entertainment included solos by Helen Slye and Cecil Severs, greetings to guests and from them, and group singing. After the banquet a dance was held in the gym. A cake walk and several contests were held. Later in the evening, punch and cakes were served. This occasion was especially appreciated because it was once thought that we would have no banquet. A special committee, however, under the direction of Miss Lloyd and Miss Batten went to work and succeeded in giving us the wonderful time we had tonight. September, 1941 The wind and waves have sped us on our way and the final award is now in sight. We are now the upper deckmen. Officers to guide us through this last lap of our voyage are: President, Norman Moore; Vice-Presi- dent, Ruth Jenkins; Secretary, Elizabeth White, and Treasurer, Philip Woerner. October-November, 1941 Our rings have arrived! The entire class is almost beyond control. The class has elected superlatives and performed the other duties that are the privileges of Seniors. A feeling of importance and of awe is felt by all. February, 1942 Second semester officers have just been elected. They are: President. Margaret Fast; Vice-President, Ruth Jen- kins; Secretary, Elizabeth White; Treasurer, Francis Fulk. May, 1942 The final page of the log book of the good ship Harding ' 42 has been reached. With a feeling of regret the details of the last of our voyage are recorded. To dwell on our Commencement Sermon, our Senior Break- fast, our Class Day, and finally, our Commencement Night, would only bring sorrow. So, sadly, after having reached our destination, The Port of Life, the anchor is dropped into the deep for the last stop. With best wishes for good luck and fond, but sad goodbyes, each passenger disembarks and starts alone on his life ' s journey. The book is closed and the six happiest and most eventful years of our lives are over, but the memories of this voyage will never be forgotten and we will recall with pleasure the happy days at dear ole ' Harding Hi. Ruth Jenkins, Class Historian. Page Twenty-one ACORf LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the crew of the S. S. Harding, are heading into the sea of the future — leaving behind us the port which ends the first big lap in our hard but faithful struggle over the sea of Life. As we travel farther out into the harbor, we look back upon the memorable days and joy- ful times which we have experienced at Harding High School. These memories are locked deep in our hearts as souvenirs, so that in future years we might look back on the wonderful days which we spent at Harding. So, cherishing these memories, we, the Class of 1942, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. Continuing our journey, we, the Senior Class of Hard- ing High School, Mecklenburg County, City of Char- lotte, the State of North Carolina do hereby will to those whom we leave behind our most beloved possessions as follows: ARTICLE I— To Mr. Hawkins 1. To Mr. Hawkins we leave our deepest appreciation for his kindly, guiding hand which has helped us over the waves we have encountered while completing the first lap in our journey over Life ' s foamy sea. ARTICLE II — To Our Successors 1. We leave to you the privileges which we enjoyed, and ask that you honor them and do not abuse them. 2.

PROPHECY Perhaps the hardest key to fit into any lock is the key to the future. As the Good Ship Harding ' 42 sailed along the rocky coast of the present, I sought long and hard to find this key. One day I chanced upon an old sailor who showed me just the twist of the wrist to use and told me the magic words which would unlock the elusive future. As I stood at a porthole of the Good Ship Harding, I followed his magic formula and look- ing distrustfully out to the far horizon, I saw: The year 1961 and coming forth from the mist is a distant figure standing in front of a micro- phone; yes, it ' s Johnny Miller, Ace News Com- mentator over WBT, always bringing you latest news developments.

There is a rumor that our next Governor, James Taylor, is to be assisted in his legal work by that able attorney, Melvin Johnston, and speaking of the Governor ' s ability to select the best in beautiful secretaries seems to be proven by Lura Mae Johnston, his latest discovery. Elizabeth White finally decided to make teach- ing French her vocation; is now teaching in a country school where Raymond Miller is the principal. Poetry pays, a word from Lucius. He finds there is a bride for every Groom. Sales are booming at Charlotte ' s leading candy company; it ' s a sweet life for the owners, Billy Westmoreland and Wylie Shumpert.

In the world of sports Bobby Thomas, famous sports writer is busy with future boxing champ, Herman Noble. incidentally. Buck Green made the Ail-American. Margaret Fast has slowed down a bit since handsome Harry Heafner has entered her life.
