Text from Pages 1 - 118 of the 1957 volume:

Before traveling further into these pages, pause just a moment for an explanation. In our change to a new building, a new name, and in general, to new things, we are progressing; and as we stroll from the old paths with their covered bridges and their lazy, carefree ways into the new ones, we find many doors leading to unknown, exciting adventures. To unlock these, dif- ferent keys of progress will certainly be necessary — for achieve- ment, leadership, learning, and success. After enthusiastically unlocking and eagerly going through these several doors of school life, we will then be standing on another threshold . . . looking ahead with confidence.- We would like to take you with us along this path from old landmarks to new as we outline the progress of our high school days. eaicaiion Because you have done so much to aid progress and to help the citizens of your community, Mr. and Mrs. Bray, we dedicate this book to you. Although it may seem but a small token, with it goes our sincere appreciation, for people such as you in each community are truly the builders of America. MRS. B. D.

One hot, summer day in 1945 marked the beginning of twelve years of what we will never experience again: we were starting to school and feeling sure that nobody had ever been as important as we were. The first seven years of what we thought was hard work went by rather quickly. In the eighth grade we were united into one big class, consisting of some from both Henry Siler School and the Siler City High. By the end of the year under the leadership of Mrs. Brooks and Mr. Jones the future looked bright ahead. Then came our Freshman year in real high school. We felt small compared to our more advanced fellow students. The class officers for that year were Tommy Emerson, president; Pearl Maness, vice president; Gail Jenkins, sec- retary; Sallie Teague, treasurer. Those participating in sports were Tommy Emerson and Junior Wright in football, Mary Alice Glosson and Barbara Stinson in basketball, and Junior Wright in baseball. With the help of Mrs. Brooks and Mr. Wagstaff we became adjusted thoroughly to high school life. With the ninth grade behind us we began to look forward to our Sophomore year. After a few weeks of summer vacation, we began that year under the able leadership of Miss Smith and Mr. Poston. Baxter Burke, president; Reid Marley, vice president; Barbara Stinson, secretary; and Wade Lowe, treasurer, were the class officers. Tommy Emerson, Larry Siler, Jimmy Terry, and Junior Wright played football. The boys’ basketball team, including Larry Siler from our class, won the Chatham County Championship. Mary Alice Glosson, and Barbara Stinson played basketball, and Junior Wright was on the baseball team. Carolee Wood and Tommy Emerson participated in the American Legion speaking contest, and we were proud of the job they did. They also competed in the Horton speaking contest. Eollowing a brief intermission, our junior year came next. Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Lane were our homieroom teachers. In order to raise money to finance our Junior-Senior banquet, we began to sell magazines, from which we realized a good profit. Mary Alice Glosson and Lessie Mae Scott, our banquet chairmen, were largely responsible for the success of the banquet. Since this was the first really important affair of our whole school life, we worked together and enjoyed it very much. Our class officers were Tommy Emerson, president; Gary Craven, vice president; Mary Louise Vestal, secretary; and Carolee Wood, treasurer. The Marshals for graduation exercises were Carolee Wood, Nancy Wright, Deanna Stone, Mary Louise Vestal, Lane Gilliam, Tommy Emerson, Wade Lowe, and Baxter Burke. At the exercises we learned that Carolee Wood and Nancy Wright were to represent us at Girls’ State. Imagine how proud we were of Carolee when she was elected Governor of Girls’ State and got a trip to Washington. The lucky boys to represent us at Boys’ State were Billy Milholen, Lane Gilliam, Tommy Emerson, and Larry Siler. Everyone had a good time, though not elected to an important office. Carolee Wood competed in both the American Legion and the Horton speaking contests. Both this time and the previous year she won as far as the division group in the American Legion speeches and the Horton Medal. On the athletic field that year we found Larry Siler, Tommy Emerson, and Jimmy Terry in football; Mary Alice Glosson, Barbara Stinson, Carolee Wood, Larry Siler, and Gary Craven in basketball; and Gary Craven in baseball. That Junior year still stands out as a memorable one to us. Then came the most important time in our lives — our Senior year. It was hard for us to realize that we were the first Seniors to be going to the new school and, I must confess, we felt a few heartaches for the things we were giving up. Through the help of the faculty, we got used to the changes and buckled down to the work ahead of us. First of all we elected class officers; Tommy Emerson, president; Billy Milholen, vice president; Mary Louise Vestal, secretary; and Hilda Sermons, treasurer. For the big job as Editor-in-Chief of the annual we chose Carolee Wood, and Lessie Mae Scott as Business Manager. With the cooperation of everyone, they worked hard to make the annual attractive, and we were proud of the result. Again that year the boys set a good record in football. At the banquet given to the football squad by the Girls’ Monogram Club, w ' e learned that Tommy Emerson, one of the co-captains that year, won the trophy for most valuable player. Others on the team were Jimmy Terry and Larry Siler. In basketball we found Mary Alice Glosson, Hilda Sermons, Gary Craven, and Larry Siler. Those Seniors supporting the teams as cheerleaders were Mary Alice Glosson — chief, and Carolee Wood. One job was adopting a class ring for the new school, and we could hardly wait for ours to arrive. Finally when they did come, we spent all our time admiring them before, maybe, lending them to someone else to wear for us. Toward the end of the school year important events began to happen. The banquet was a huge success — thanks to the Juniors for their kind and shared hospitality. Then we looked forward to the Senior play. Through long hours of memorizing and practicing, we presented this rather successfully. Then our annuals arrived and, finally, our last exams. When we received our diplomas, never had our names sounded so important to us. Now we are ready to face life. The advice of all the faculty, Mr. Braxton, and Mr. Durham has enabled us to face reality more easily. We feel that all the hardships and disappointments have mingled with the successes to make us what we are — almost adults — and we hope we will be wise ones. Baxter Burke Historian We go soaring into the future. Here is what happened when my friend and I got to worrying about the future. We began work on a time machine that would advance us to the year 1967, thinking it would be fun if we could accomplish it. Suddenly, one day we found ourselves whizzing through space at a high speed, then quickly circling around to the original spot. But was it really? Every- thing was entirely different from what we knew. Our car was near by, so we decided to ride downtown to learn a thing or two about our new outlook. Driving about a block, we were startled when a big truck blew its horn at us. Looking up, we were surprised to recognize Jimmy Terry driving it, grinning at us as usual. Upon arrival down town, we bought a newspaper from a small paper boy. We learned from the date that we were in the year 1967. As we read, we learned more. Patsy Brewer’s bauty shop was offering a special on a new hair-style created by Barbara Branson, just one of her chief hair stylists. We also learned that the town had built a drag strip, the two top racers being Junior Wright and Adam Smith. Standing behind the counter at the nearest drug store, there was a young man puffing away at a fifty-cent cigar. It was Billy Milholen. He now owns four big drug stores. He said he has his biggest competitor — Wade Lowe and Joe Dixon, Inc. — beaten at last — by one store. Seated near the door was a group of women talking. They were Sallie Smith, Lessie Mae Scott, and Deloris Rodgers. They told us that they were all house- wives staying home with their family affairs when they weren’t busy like today with their friends. With them were Shirley Gilliland, and Nancy Wright. They are working in the office of Tommy Emerson, lawyer and politician. Leaving Billy’s place, we went over to Wade and Joe’s to learn the latest on others we knew. There v e ran into quite a group of old friends. They were all single working girls. Hilda Sermons was talking so fast that we didn’t recognize her at first. She was telling some amusing bit from her duties as a social worker; and listen- spell-bound were Mary Alice Glosson, a model for a modern dress shop; Pearl Maness, a hostess for American Airlines; and Janice Wicker, private secretary for the city’s mayor — Mrs. Geneva Dunlap. Seated with them were Clyde Beck, wearing the uniform of a top Navy man, and Buddy Brady, the town’s kool kat.” Imagine him the baldheaded editor of the Siler City News,” the daily paper we had never heard of until we bought one a half-hour ago. Buddy put a coin in the juke” box. The song that came forth was by recording star Mary Louise Vestal, and it brought us back for a moment to a normal present. Then Jimmy Gunter, pool shark and proprietor of Jimmy’s Billiards,” sauntered in and began to talk. After, a long chat, we rode around for a while. When our gas supply ran low, we stopped at John Brewer’s Super Service. Going inside the station, I saw Larry Siler, coach for the Washington Red- skins, and Nathaniel Murray, the great basketball expert, having a stiff” argument. Dinky Vann, John’s head mechanic, was working on a dilapidated 1958 model car in the garage. We then went on our way. We turned on the car’s radio and heard the Rosie Hour,” starring comedian Rosie Lee Culberson. Riding by the school house, we met three women. They were Jane Hackney, Matilda Paschal, and Frieda Morgan. They told us that they were now teaching at J. M. H. I had no idea they would all really become teachers, even though they did belong to the Future Teachers Club. We also met Gary Craven, engineer, coming out of a large factory. He told us that he was not feeling well. We carried him to see the doctor — none other than Lane Gilliam; and (can you imagine it?) his nurse was Sallie Teague. We stayed long enough to talk for a while and see there was nothing wTong with Gary before moving on. Next came a ride through the town’s new residential section. Here we saw a big new house being built. On a sign out front we read the words, Baxter Burke- architect”; and guess whose house it was! Carolee Wood’s, the very famous lady diplomat and writer. Wake up! Wake up!” I heard someone calling my name. Shaking my head to clear my brain, I learned that all this was only a dream; and believe it or not, I was glad to be back in 1957. Reid Marley Class Prophet We, the senior class of Jordan-Matthews High School, County of Chatham and State of North Carolina, realizing our superiority over all other classes of our school and that our school days are numbered, and wishing in so far as possible to preserve for our class some of our excellent traits and talents do make, declare, and publish this as our last will and testament.
