Jlmme lolz, jaday, Oh, speed on, Oh, good friends of mine, With hearts that are very strong: For into the battle of life we are going, Accepting the challenge to right the Wrong. But some day, some other time not long, When, to their knees, our foes We have brought, Good friends, We'll he back together, Enjoying peace and happiness so long sought. -JoHN RAE I-IIPP, Class Poet. S. O. L. Bible Club 3. , Uwe Sie - mt? To put into words the happiness the class of '43 has obtained through the six years just past would be absolutely impossible. iBut to give you the skeleton of the happiest years of our life would take one back to a day in September, 1937-the day we enrolled in the seventh grade. There were 232 of us and for the first few weeks we roamed around the halls like lost souls. But with changing of classes and the novelty of lockers, we soon found that the days flew by. After finally getting down to normal, we elected class oiiicers to guide us through the year, They were: president, Paul Yount: vice-president, Walter Watt: secretary, Mary Mallet: and treasurer, Joe Cutrell. Soon after the second semester, the size of our school was doubled with the addition of the new gym, laboratories, cafeteria, music, and commercial departments. The arrival of a new school year was greatly anticipated and we trudged back to the old schoolhouse to get educated. This time we were more confident and it didn't take us long to get settled and elect as ofHcers, president, Walter Watt: vice-president, Joe Cutrell: secretary. Ben Spivey: and treasurer, Donald Gardner. The chief topic of conversation that year was our new athletic field, It was completed in time to have some swell ball games, not mentioning the May Day festivities. The ninth grade was welcomed with all enthusiasm that seniors in junior high school can display. The officers were: president, Donald Gardner: vice-president, Betty Shackleton: secretary, Peggy Clanton: and treasurer, Helen Conder. During that year Miss Alice Batten organized a Junior Honor Society containing seventeen members, all from our class. Our destination was beginning to be clear when we arrived at the threshold of senior high school-the tenth grade. During that year, we elected as our leaders, president, Bob Weddington: vice-president, Frances Sawyer: secretary, Annie Sue Moody: and treasurer, Ben Spivey, We worked harder than ever that year because our star was close and there seemed so much yet for us to do. Our junior year was filled with fun and we felt as if we were sitting on top of the world. To begin with, we elected as officers, president, Conley Robinson: vice-president, Donald Gardner: secretary, Ed Honeycutt: and treasurer, Lenora Baxley. Then Junior Marshals were selected including, chief, Paul Yount: assistant chief, Nancy Bearden: Lenora Baxley, Gene Cohle, Mary Lee Durham, Doris Jean Neal, Angelia Neely, Dorothy Richardson, Conley Robinson, Joyce Rogers, Joyce Stanley, Nell Strawn, and Bob Weddington. The eleventh grade was climaxed with the Junior-Senior Banquet held in Efird's dining room. It was a tremendous success, after much planning on the part of our adviser, Miss Mildred Mashburn, and the various committees. The theme of the event was South America, with programs in the shape of Senors and Senoritas. Bob Weddington, master of ceremonies, served as toastmaster, and other formalities were performed by various students. The highlight of the occasion, besides the delicious food, was Mr. Tewksbury, who gave us an interesting account of his travels in South America. After the banquet, a play was presented by the sophomores, 'Sunday Costs Ten Pesos, followed by a dance in the gaily decorated gym. With the arrival of our senior year came a whirlwind of activity. Ofhcers chosen for the Iirst semester were: president, Donald Gardner: vice-president, Angelia Neely: secretary, Gene Coble: treasurer, Joyce Rogers: while serving as second semester officers were: president, Ed Honeycutt: vice-president, Loreta Cox, secretary, Nell Strawn: and treasurer, Colleen Hendrix. All duties which must be carried out by seniors were performed by us with a feeling of pride. They included ordering rings, invitations, and caps and gowns, electing superlatives, and the most important of all-the Senior Class play, His Name Was Aunt Nellie. We were many sorrowful souls who attended the Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Day, and Commencement. But this just shows the truth of the old saying, All good things must come to an end. This phrase certainly reflects on the many happy days we spent at dear ole' Harding High. -JOYCE ELAINE STANLEY, Class Historian.

DEAR DIARY This has been one swell day, I have just returned from the banquet that ended our class's first reunion after 10 years. CNot a bad idea, eh?D Every one of the 94 seniors of '43 were present at the Hotel John Taylor for the banquet. I guess Macy's 5 25 10 in New York had to close for a week because the oflicials were here- credit manager, Celeste McGinnis, personnel manager, Dot McCrackin, and advertising manager, Jo Edna Lovelace. Others from the Big Town were Melua Gardner, Betty Jean Mulligan, Myrt Thomas, and Mary Lee Durham, all Powers girls Cwowlj. Speaking of wows , Ed Barkley's troupe from the Palace Cin Newark I guessj were at the Broadway this Friday. His troupe consisted of his orchestra: his managers Bill Walters, and Grafton Graham: dancers Jackie Jones, The Shackleton Withers team: and vocalist Doris Rowland. Some events of the reunion were: The opening of a bridge across Irwin Creek leading to our old Alma Mater's campus. Mayor of Charlotte, Frank Yandell, pushed a button to open the bridge to the public. One look at this great bridge suggests its designer Bill Brooky, ori inator of Brooky Bridges. His chief engineers on the super structure were Moe Dellinger, Paul Monty, and Paul Godfrey. We had lunch at the old S 25 W, now called J 'iff D since J. D. Karnages took over. I sat next to Home Run King Donald Gardner of the Cardinals, who has had his picture in the papers almost as much as his cousin Conley Robinson, the new Hollywood romeo. Another Harding Hollywooder is Gerald Bridges. Joyce Stanley and Dot Miller have a beauty shop on Hollywood Boulevard: and Nell Strawn, I hear, is a stand-in for Judy Canova. I saw Ed Honeycutt, and Lou Johnston and Shirley Tallent were right behind him, so I guess they are still billing and cooing over him. Saw Nancy Bearden Cstill Shorty j and she is laboratory technician at Queens. Anna Lou Hughes Cliloggiej and Joyce Rogers have quite a doctor's practice here in town. Alfred Langston is on the staff at Memorial Hospital. Mary Elizabeth Nisbet Q LiZzie j is a very good dentist. Emily Champion, Gene Coble, Juanita Shuford, and Elizabeth Burn are all nurses. fWe really had a smart senior class.1 Guess who is teaching at Harding High-School? None other than Josephine Hipp, algebra: Doris Jean Neal, music: Frances fGoonQ Sawyer. physical education: Dolly Mae Fletcher, art fthey hnally got an art class at Hardingl : Rose Marie Anderson is librarian: and John Rae Hipp, chemistry. Back to the events of the reunion. The banquet was at 7:30. Sitting at the head of the table were flyer Alan McNeil, guest of honor the Admiral CGuess whoj and his wife Dot Hummell: U. S. Government interpreter from Brazil, Kathleen Crow: Helen Miller, owner of a ranch in Colorado: and Angelia Neely who was the author of the best seller this month KI think she tried to out-do Tobacco Road so she called it Snuff Alleyjg Millionaires Bill Needham and Dennis McGrath made their money in the stock market fthey always were luckyb. The housewives of our senior class occupied another table. Among the wealthiest were Marguerite Phillips, Mary'Lib Hoke, Frankie Abbott, Frances Dunn, Danay Agner, Rachel Worley, Loreta Cox, Betty Gopfert, and Edna Phipps. A regiment of WAACS was present. Among these were Annie Sue Moody, Phyllis Mullins, Nlildred Boyd, Bobbie Primm, Ruth Keith, Margaret Howell, and Sara Currie. WBT was well represented also with John Bechtler, news reporter: Haywood Gray, president of the station: and Margaret Cook and Margaret Nelson who have a cooking school on the air. For Dot Richardson, Betty Adams, Colleen Hendrix, and Lenora Baxley, who are looking for bosses with a soft knee land a softer pocketbookj I suggest the following: Lloyd Henley. a prominent lawyer specializing in divorce cases Cwonder whyl: Richard Rankin, President of B. if H. Photo Company, speaker for the Merchants of Charlotte's table, and other merchants and professionals: James Edmonds, Ill, who has an exclusive men's store: Carl Cutrell and competitor, Preston O'Quinn, who has just opened his Super Market: Joe Cutrell, who is president of the Cutrell Taxi Service Che learned that at Hardingl : and printer, Baxter Campbell. Setting the women's styles in hats and dresses this spring are designers Betty Ann Wfalters, Ruby Walden, Helen Taylor, Betty Ruth Worley, and Merle Goodman. Paul Yount is known as Scoop Yount at the Observer: and me, I'm just a photographer for Life Magazine. A page from the diary of Bob Weddinglon, Page Twenty-one PAUL YOUNT-GENE COBLE .,...,...,...
