Not for patriotism, nor parents, nor teachers, nor the Army and Navy . . . Not for such ostentatious motives did we of the ACORN staff publish this book. We want this one to be a keep-sake of Harding. Wherever our roads lead in the future, may we skim through this annual and remember the red brick and tall pines of Harding, the warm look of the school on spring mornings and the lights from the gym on crisp winter nights, the whispers in study hall and the clattering clamor after school, and most of all, the laughing, pulsing ban-d of our school friends. Thatls why we say . . . Let this one be just for the memory. s .'l To OLIVER C. COOK the 1945 Senior class dedi- cates this annual. We haue left his music room with higher, cleaner feelings during the passing years, for he has taught us mang things behind the veil of music. Spurning better offers, he has made our school renowned for her musical organizations. It is too simple to sing the praises of the man who has filled Harding with song. Page F ive NUMBER ONE . . . And you could mark this page as Number One. It ranks there in importance. For in this year 1945, if you wanted to End a cross-section of Harding High you would scoop up a handful of soldiers and sailors. Those that aren't in are going in . . . the others are just waiting. To the hundreds of Harding boys and girls flung across the globe, THE ACORN gives the old thumbs up signe- and wishes them a safe return to the shores of Irwin Creek.

TUCKER DOROTI-IEA WOERNER Biggest Heartbreakers S E I 0 Love that man! pw if RS HISTORY We, the class of '45, could be called the 'Awar class. Our journey through the years of high school education at Harding High School has been marked by world-wide battle since its start. And yet, with the globe blasted by guns and shells, most of us have completed our high school years. Back in September, 1939, Germany and Britain touched off the fuse that blew Europe into war. Also in September of that year we entered the seventh grade at Harding. We were like any other newcomers to Harding-confused but happy with the new scene. Guiding us through that first year were Martha Hibbard, president: Jean Craig, vice-presi- dent: Wilma Holt, secretary: and Sandy Grady, treasurer. The next year saw England repelling death and blitz from the skies-and our second year of high school. Majorie Ann Edwards was president that year, aided by Betty Jean Brown, vice-president: Charles Prophet, secretary: and Fred Rogers, treasurer. In 1941 our own nation was attacked and engulfed in the war. School changed into a serious thing: our classes were preparing boys for battle. Even in this crisis, members of our class began distinguishing themselves at Harding. They were members of the Junior Student Council and Honor Society. Sandy Grady of our class put out the first issues of our school paper, the Hustler, as editor. Heading our activities were President Sandy Grady, Vice-President Margaret Allen, Secretary Elizabeth Foster, and Treasurer Wilma Holt. The next few years saw our country gird herself for war in the Pacific and on European shores. Our class entered the tenth grade and we felt near to graduation. Wayne Hooks was our president, assisted by Harry McConnell, Jean Craig, and Jim Deaton. In our Junior year we saw the preceding Senior class march out in their graduating robes. We ourselves were caught in the swirl of high school activities. We ordered our class rings in May. We attended the very successful Junior-Senior Banquet. We elected the following junior marshals: Polly Jean Yandell, chief: Martha Hibbard, assistant chief: Betty Sawyer. Jacqueline Johnson, Betty Culbreth, Niota Godfrey, Adrienne Hartman, Margaret Allen, David Hipp. Elizabeth Foster, Bob Puckett, Estelle Grice, and Fred Jenkins. At last, through the storms of the war years, we took the last leg of our journey. Senior officers for the first semester were Bill Kiser, president: Jimmy Patterson, vice-president: Jean Craig, secretary: and Wayne Hooks, treasurer. We received our class rings and had our senior pictures taken for the annual. We elected superlatives, and ordered invitations, caps, and gowns, Martha Hibbard and Bill Kiser served as presidents of the Student Council for a term each. Gene Henderson and Blackie Hager were elected captains of the football team. We held our Junior-Senior Banquet, passed through the graduation formalties. Thus, we of the 1945 class, have traveled the long road. Beginning in the first skirmishes of battle and ending with American armies marching on the centers of hate and dictatorship, We spent six important years in Harding High School. We, the 'iwar class, remember with pride. BOB PUCKETT, Historian. JIMMIE PATTERSON HSISH GROSE Cutest,' Look cute, Pat. Page Twenty-six PROPI-IECY PVT. CHARLES HAGER, care A. P. O., San Francisco. Dear Blackie: ' I am sorry to hear that five years after the war is over you are still in the Army of Occupation and on a small unin- habited Pacific Island. Yes, it's really tough, for inhabitants. Your inquiry as to the whereabouts of our graduating class makes me exceedingly happy. I can proudly say that the majority have developed Cthere was plenty of room for developmentj into line citizens. As for me, I just loaf around since I got my discharge. I never really understood why I got it. The doctors just whispered and kept pointing at my head. Anyway, Miss Watson and Miss Fore understand. Do you remember how we used to joke about Sandy Grady, the 1 senior boy voted most likely to succeed, selling Watch Towers? He's now Sports Editor at the Mecklenburg Times. The source for sports writers is diminishing, I suppose. WHILE ON THE SUBJECT OF SPORTS, Buck Glasco and Allen Solomon are playing varsity ball at Duke. Jimmy Patterson and Claude Dellinger are playing first-string tailback and wingback respectively at the University of North Carolina. The boy that amazes people with his slow balls and fast talk, J. S. Tucker, will pitch for the New York Yankees this coming season. And from what I hear, his wife, Dorothea Woerner, is some pitcher too. Woo! Wool Bob Puckett will be on the receiving end of Tucker's pitches, while J. S. will be on the receiving end of Dorolhea's. Robert Criminger went into business with some Irishman named Jacob Goldstein. and opened the classiest clothes SIOIQ in Charlotte. His best salesman is the persuasive, fast-talking John Randall, ex-Harding debater. Honest, straight-forward Ben Durham keeps the books for this wonderful organization, Joe Stimpson handles all the art and decorating. Since it is a clothing store, Joe puts clothes on fifty per cent of all his drawings. Directly across the street from the Goldstein-Criminger store is the Mademoiselle, Char- lotte's most exclusive women's store. Betty Jean Craig pops the whip, since she is the manager. Craig employs four ex-Harding lasses, Sue Shiver, Laura Ann Freeman, Imogene Potts, and Niota Godfrey. Their talents are put to good use. Mary Motter arranges the window displays and the interior decorating. Betty Hargett, who is the buyer for the Mademoiselle, is now in Paris. From what I heard, she really likes the place. Just by accident about three times a week at 12:35 I happen to run into the pretty oliice girls at the square going to lunch. Adrienne Hartmann and Hazel Nivens are all dated up though. I often see Richard Wings Goodman fly over. Richard was the. lirst Charlotte citizen to change from automobile to the airplane. He now goes over the square doing 120 miles per hour. That's twenty miles per hour less than he did in his automobile. The greatest improvement in education in North Carolina since Central was torn down last year is the Harding High School. Many of our former students have joined the Gestapo and are now faculty members of this great institution. Jo Nell Fletcher is teaching art and has some class, Harry McConnell is expected to turn out the best band in the state this year, if he can be kept out of the dramatics class, which is taught by Red Edwards. Fred Jenkins is expected to produce the best basketball team in these parts. There has been little competition since Fred started coaching at the high school. Roy Christenbury is the custodian at the present time. Betty Hill manages a nice library. It differs from I-larding's a great deal in that respect. As you leave this dear school, you can plainly hear the enchanting voices of Julia Allison's French students singing Au Revoir, Allez Au Diable, which roughly translates into Goodbye, lCome Again. But when you smooth it out it translates into G.o. We dare you ever to come ack! Unfortunately not all of our former classmates are employed in our fair city. Martha Hibbard, the senior girl voted most likely to succeed, is a bare-back rider in Frank Carter's circus. Wayne Hooks is the strong man in the show, Patrons say he is the weakest strong man now in existence. Faye Hughey is the fat lady, She is so big that she can work two rings at one time. James Corn is the tight rope walker. David Hipp is known as the world's greatest lion trainer. Hipp's plenty good with the whip. Others working out of town are Betty Culbreth, Polly Jean Yandell, and Jane McGinnis. These young ladies are actresses in New York. Howard Hailey is now a comedian in New York, also. He just linished a comedy, 'AFrankenstein's Nephew, which is a smashing success. Unpleasant as it may seem, everyone can't be a success. For instance, some of our class- mates got married. A shining example is Ellis Zedaker and Jackie Johnson, who have con- sented to walk the plank together, hand in hand. Surprised? That's all I can think of at the moment, Blackie. This gives you some idea of the ability and accomplishments of our '45 class. fAfter the army was through, there weren't many more than forty-five in the class.J Until you return I will remain here holding the fort down, and Writing you more literature such as this. GENE HENDERSON, Prophet. Page Twenty-seven LAST WILL A TESTAME We, the class of 1945, pack up our books and bid farewell to the classrooms of Harding High School.

TO OUR ALMA MATER Among tall oaks and pines, Near streams of water clear, Stands Harry P. Harding High- Our Alma Mater dear. The school that years ago Welcomed us to her fold, And guided us every day- Strong minds and lives to mold. The goal our eyes were fixed upon fi We I then, clear in sight As we near our journey's end, Was only a vision But now it's very At times we've been discouraged As others who have gone, And yet, there seemed to be a link That gently drew us on. We've finally reached the goal For which we each have strived, Ready to bid farewell, dear school- This class of forty-five. The time has come now, we must go Oh, best of all the schools we know, But as the future years unfold We'll praise thy colors, maroon and gold. By IMOGENE POTTS, C1088 Poet. Page Twenty-nine ?

The event was also notable for the fact that it marked the debut of the Choir in its new robes. Jo Nell Fletcher Ellen Foard Myra Adams Margaret Allen In the Spring, the Choir sang for many public occasions. At the Community Sunrise Service the choir sang with a massed group made up of singers from all the high school choirs, Appearances of the Choir at various churches throughout the city brought forth the highest praise for their musicianship, skill, and artistic singing.

Page Seventy-seven THE 1944 RAMS They were a straggling, ragged group of green boys on that rainy day when Pasco Ciettle took over the Harding football team, Months later they were a developed co-ordinated ball club. The season went like this: BARIUM SPRINGS 03 HARDING 13 The Rams surprised 2,500 fans by scoring twice in the lirst quarter, A'Scat Henderson passed and ran to set up both tallies. Henderson's spark gave our lads 12 first downs to 6. CAMDEN 32: HARDING 13 Henderson tossed a six-point pass to Coursey and bucked another T. D. across, but Camden had too much Carol Cox for the Rams. Buck Glascow stood out. MT. AIRY 14: HARDING 6 Henderson again flipped a scoring pass to Coursey, good for 60 yards. Two T, D. end runs by Mt. Airy nullified it through. Pug Peerman and Ellis Zedaker charged well. MT. HOLLY 0: HARDING 20 A Henderson-Glascow-Coursey pass tallied on the first play. Loflin dove over the next one, Blackie Hager intercepted a pass, madie an 18-yard glory dash for the last score. DAVIDSON 14: HARDING 13 A Henderson-Glascow pass hit the jack-pot once, Jim Severs crashed through to block a punt to make it 13-7, A second half drive and a good place kick beat the Rams. MONROE 02 HARDING 13 Fleet Tommy Coursey clipped the Monroe Pythons with a 68-yard trip around end and a line buck in the first quarter.-Geoggeldam and Bob Cole looked good. KANNAPOLIS 7, HARDING 6 This one was another heart-breaker. Coursey caught a punt and swept 55-yards for the Ram score. Kannapolis passed for a tally and kicked the extra point. Gene Burnett and Ray Loflin played well. BELMONT ABBEY 03 HARDING 27 Coursey threw to Glascow for the No. l score. A few moments later he was spiraling one to Fred Severs for a 59-yard score. ln the third quarter he gave another to Glascow for the third marker. Coursey bucked the fourth one over. ROCKINGHAM 12g HARDING 12 The Rocks scored first, but Harding came back on a Coursey-Glascow pass, Then Coursey raced around end 54 yards to take the lead. The Rockingham club threw a short pass to tie it up. TECH 325 HARDING O Don Wheatley, Fatback Kerr and Company had too much power for the Rams. Coursey, Pearman, Severs, Cole and Loflin played fair for Harding. Our bunch simply didn't have the weight and experience. Tech scored in every quarter. That was a sad last chapter to the 1945 season, but the Rams promise revenge next year. Including the Tech tragedy, Harding scored 125 points to their opponents' 110. Buck Glascow was chosen on the Shrine All-Star team. Glascow, Severs, Coursey, Henderson and Ham were selected for the All-City Squad. The Rams won four. lost six, tied one. Overlooking their mediocre record, they were a colorful, hard-hitting ball team, Page Seven ty -eight FEATURES SPONSORS Wkfgznzd Qmfe FOI' BILL KISER President of the Student Council Page Eighty 4 fem Cwzzg For CLAUDE DELLINGER Vice-President of the Senior Class fo Nell Flelfbelf FOI' GENE HENDERSON Co-Captain of the Football Team SPGNSORS QMQJUUVI?
