C. PUHEWURD 'IHIGH SCHOOL days are the happiest days. Associations of six years are not easily forgotten but the memories of these years become less vivid as we become engrossed in the happenings of the world. The faces of our classmates may become strangers and events once cherished may fade from our memory unless there is a link with the past. To provide this lin-k, to record the happiest days, is the goal of the ACORN. If this goal is attained, the staff will have been recompensed for many hours of labor. The history of the school is recorded in pictures of the faculty, leaders of organization-s, classes, and athletic teams. Complementing the academic and athletic programs are snapshots of dances, games, club parties, and assemblies. Together with these outstanding people and events go per- sonal memories and friendships particularly treasured since the students during these years of confict look to Harding, their Alma Mater, to preserve for them ideals, traditions, and memories. In gathering material for this ACORN, we have been assisted by Mrs. Mackey, who has acted as sponsor for this publication. Together with Mrs. Mackey, we wish to thank Mr. Crichton, and the staff of the Observer Printing House, Mr. Robinson, Mr. Cauthen, an-d the entire staff of the Dunbar Studio for their patience and assistance in helping with the publication of this yearbook. In spite of the diffi- culties involved because of the war, these people have labored untiringly to help the staff publish the 1944 ACORN. P ge Four X sl X YN il-cgi, 1 7' :bf-:I .

In our hearts is the deepest gratitude for the sacrifices which they are making that tomorrow we may enjoy life in a never-ending peace. To these boys, fighting for a nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition- that all men are created equal the Senior Class of Harding High School dedi- cates the 1944 ACORN.

IUPIS U H S D FAHEWELL TU H HDI E Dear Harding High we leave thee, But deepest in our hearts Is stored our warmest love of thee With which we ne'er shall part. Throughout our life we'll love thee: We'll praise thy blessed name and sigh, 'Twas there I spent my happiest days- At dear ole Harding High. Into the future now we march With heads and voices high To use this well-earned knowledge Which we wrought in days gone by. With deep regret we leave thee now, But always we shall stand And tell of dear ole Harding High, The Best School in the Land, -BILL STUART, Class Poet, '44, Page Twenty-Hue HISTUHY UF THE SE IUH EL 55 We, the class of '44, have been on a long flight through the realms of education. Our plane ride has been piloted by many different leaders, and the journey has been eventful, Remember the excitement on the first day of school in September '39. After we had been assigned to home rooms, we were thrilled over changing classes and the locker idea. Although we were in our Hrst year of high school, our class entered into a number of activities. Several of our girls, Harriet Kleckley and Jean Johnston, were attendants in the May Day Festival. During this first year Eddie Rich was president: Edward Wong, vice-president: Jean Johnston, secretary: and Shirley Gibson, treasurer. We completed our first year with a feeling of satisfac- tion and eagerness to begin the next part of our flight. Our second year found us a little more used to the school activities. Mary Lib Jenkins piloted the class through the year successfully with Edward Wong as vice-president, Ruth Shockley as secretary, and Paul Owens as treasurer. Several members of our class, who were in the orchestra, went to Palm Beach, Florida, with the prize winning group. In '41 Banks Nussman led us safely through the many air pockets of education with Franklin Payne as vice-president, Jerry Mundy as secretary, and Grey Lowe as treasurer, Our adviser for this year was Mrs. Nettie Wearn Schulken. The Debaters Club with Mrs. Shore as adviser was added to the school. Our class was represented in football, both on the neld and in the cheering sections. We had completed our junior high studies and entered senior high. This year the school paper, The Hustler, was added to the activities of the school. Again we were represented in football and basketball. That year Jimmy Elliot was pilot. His co-pilot was Teeny Farr, Evelyn Rippy was secretary, and Weber Howell was treasurer while Miss Lide served as our adviser. We entered our junior year under the leadership of Jean Johnston. We had our junior pictures made for the annual. Then time came to start planning the Junior-Senior banquet. Miss Fore, Miss Lide, and Mrs. Heins helped us get it ready. Mrs. John Paul Lucas offered a delightful speech at the banquet held at the Hotel Charlotte in May of '43, Everyone had a wonderful time. There was a dance in the gym after the banquet. No one can realize the 'excitement on a day in May when we ordered our class rings. That made the year end with the feeling that we had accomplished a great deal. Junior marshals were elected. They weref Evelyn Carroll, chief marshalg Mary Lib Jenkins, assistant chief: Jean Johnston, Harriet Kleckley, Evelyn Rippy, Ethel Wesson, Doris Shepherd, Jerry Mundy, Le Bon Jenkins, Eddie Rich, Mary Arden Liles, and Gail Warren. After completing this year we were ready to take the last part of our flight. Eddie Rich led us through the Hrst semester of our senior flight, When our rings came. everyone was thrilled. The whole student body knew of our excitement because we showed them to everyone in sight. Then the time came for making our senior pictures, a fact which added to our feeling of graduation. During the excitement Jean Johnston won the D. A. R. award and superlatives were elected. Sandy Cook and Willie Wingate were co-captains of the football team while Bob McCory and Willie Wingate were co-captains of our basketball team. This year has cast a shadow on our class because of the many boys who had to leave school to join some branch of the service. Time for commencement has rolled around, much to our sorrow and regret. We have completed our Bight on the long route to H. S. diploma and we are sorry it is over but there will be many more journeys to take on the roads of life. JERRY MUNDY, Hzstorian. Page Twenty-six PHUPHEEY Well, here I am still in school. This time it is not dear old Harding, but it is the Officers' Candidate school. Nothing seems more dear to me than the days in which I passed through the hall of Harry P. Harding High School and the line education I received under some of the swellest and most considerate teachers I have ever known. The students and officers here bring back these memories -the memories of faces so familiar to me in '44. One of the most enjoyable friends I had at Harding was Bill Stuart. Today he is not walking up the street with Carey Leonard, but is conducting his quartet, The Gruesome Four, in a series of performances at Society Hill, South Carolina. He also received a medal of honor from governor Bob 'iIcabold Fowler for selling war bonds. Among other students of the class of '44 who turned out to be musicians is Juanita Collins. She sings on the Henry Ford Concert Hour every Sunday, Ted Newton just sits back at home and listens. That surely was a smart class. Eddie Rich, the most considerate and one of the finest boys I know, is governor of North Carolina. His secretary is Evelyn Carrol. Jimmie Elliott and Harold Hailey are in Congress. They think women should not be in the Capitol-referring to Lorena Von Becknell, who is in the House of Representatives. M. J. Fulk and Walter Miller are lawyers. Their classes in American Democracy under Mrs. Shore proved a good advantage. They got their first practice against Henry Klutts in a mock trial. Poor Henry, he was always on the losing side, Many of the seniors of '44 returned several years later to help with situations in the city schools because of the lack of teachers. They gathered their knowledge at the Educational Train- ing College. None other than Carl Christensen is president. Harriet Kleckley is his secretary. The teachers coming to Harding are June Burquist fthe blonde bomberb as shorthand instructor: Nancy Hall is teaching bookkeeping: Marie Reynolds is teaching Englishg Willie Wingate and Frances Holder Cvoted the most athletic boy and girl of the senior classj are head of the physical education classes, and Le Bon Jenkins is head of the music department. Yes, he too, gets mad and breaks his batons by the dozens. Gail Warren is the school nurse and Tula Kaperonis is the cafeteria dietitian. I can see now that there must be a healthy group of students at Harding today. Jerry Mundy, who is collecting alimony from Lawrence Wilson, is conducting an all-girl orchestra including Jean Rumple. Cora Ann Parks, and Clara Daniels. They play on the Chesterneld program.. .Jean Johnston, winner of the D. A. R. award, is teaching history at Queens College in Charlotte, N. C. Boy, what I would give to be in her class. . .Mary Arden Liles, the girl who edited that swell annual for the class of '44, is a reporter for the Charlotte News. Those in her column, most of the time, are Jackie Lockett and Evelyn Rippy, ., Glamorous Mary Lib Jenkins and Virginia Hargett are in the Big City modeling for a well known artist. That's something Ziegfeld missed. Franklin Payne, the ace news commentator over station WBT, always brings you the latest news. And the latest news is-Flash! Teeny Farr, today, won the women's national swimming championship at Los Angeles.. Sandy Cook, with teamwork including Buddy Drummond, just scored the winning touchdown against the football team at school. Thomas Edison has a new competitor. Bill Wall.. .Two Army nurses here at camp are Joyce Huffstetler and Evelyn Wherry. . .Also here at camp is Bill Morse, He plays his bass horn in the band, but yesterday, after playing for retreat, he was going back to his barracks when he stumbled and fell. He is yet to be found and is listed as missing by the War Department, In connection with the labor situation! Reece Overcash has finally handed in his English theme ..Bouncing Bob McCory, of basketball fame, is now playing in Madison Square Garden with an average of 24 points per game. . .Weber Howell and Allen Fast own a chain of grocery stores ..Ed Wilson, who consumes more food at a meal than Samson, is their best customer. . .Bill Lawrence owns Charlotte's best used car lot. . .Bill Robinson, the play- boy and actor of the senior class, has Iinally landed a movie contract. He now stars in Our Gang Comedies, since the death of Buckwheat.. Don Williams, producer for Better Movie, Inc., has just released his latest masterpiece, Snuff Alley. Frank Dixon owns the Men's Shop on Tryon Street. He sells everything from shoe laces to Zoot suits...John Carlton is his best customer ,. Mechanical-minded Bryce Nelson is a designer for Adams' Aircraft Company, of which Jimmie Adams is president. Bryce's latest design was one of a huge cargo carrier, fl wonder if he is planning on taking a trip?D . . Jack Severs and Lucretia Keistler have charge of the Charlotte oflice of Western Union. I got the biggest surprise of my life when I heard that the biggest heart-breaker of Harding had settled down to a quiet life in Dilworth. Yes, I mean Julian Holbrook. He is boarding with Arthur Pittman and Jerry Frazier, the only couple that was able to make it last through a whole school year. . .Martha Poteat is head librarian of the Charlotte Public Library, and Bill Walters is postmaster. ' When I tell my roommates of these grand old days I once enjoyed so much, they just sit back and look at me with envy. Can you blame them? To the seniors whose names do not appear in this prophecy, let me say that I remember each of you and it has been a pleasure to be a classmate of yours. Peacetown, U. S. A., 1950.
