The capable hands of the administration and faculty working together for the common good of the students ... the united hands of the students working to make the school a place that will prepare them to be citizens of tomorrow ... the loving, tender hands of the parents guiding the students along a path that leads to happiness ... these are but a few of the hands that have contributed to the spirit and success of your school years. We have attempted to show in this edition of the RETROSPECT that it is your united effort which makes Kernersville School a great contributor of fine things to your adult life. Now turn the page for a show of hands. Mr. Sigmon and Mrs. Tarkington A Busy Day 6 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT GOVERNMENT STUDENT ORGANIZATION LEADS THE WAY The purpose of this organization shall be to promote self-control, self-reliance, and strong character among the students; to encourage and secure better co-operation between students, and between students and faculty; to maintain high standards in school citizenship; to encourage and foster all worthy school activities. Upon the above purpose is based the Student Organization of Kernersville High School. The highlight of the Student Organization’s activities this year was, perhaps, its supervision of the Annual Student Organization Conference held at Kernersville.

CLANS) [RU SIMOIROY In September, 1948, fifty-four travelers knocked at the door of a land called Kernersville High. Weary from their hard journey across the land of inexperience, and wary from the tales told of the inhabitants of this new realm, they entered Kernersville High with a feeling of awe and fear. Three tribes were already firmly settled in this new land; the Sophomores, full of ridicule for the newcomers; the Juniors, more powerful and less abusive; and the Seniors, the chief settlers, who spent much time heckling the Rulers known as the Faculty. The newcomers were known as Freshmen; their awkwardness delighted the Sophomores; aroused in come measure the sympathy of the Juniors, and was ignored by the mighty Seniors. For the purpose of their mutual protection and advancement, the Freshmen elected as their president Rufus Jones. They were indeed fortunate to have landed the same year that another explorer established his headquarters at KHS. He was Mr. C. V. Sigmon who became their ruler. ; 14 The first year in this new realm was characterized by the greenness of the newcomers; but as the year rolled on, they became more accustomed to the land and set about making a name for themselves. Although new in the land, the Freshmen were well represented in the various organizations of the school. Near the end of the school year the grade mothers of the Freshmen band treated them to a picnic at High Point Lake. In the fall of 1949, 54 members of the old Freshmen band, with 2 new members again arrived at the door of KHS. This time they advanced to the rank of Sophomores. Now it became their turn to prey on the defenseless Freshmen who had just arrived. This year the hand elected one Donnie Warren to be their President for the following year. As in the Freshmen year, part of the Sophomores were directed by Mrs. R. L. Kuykendall ; but the group which had originally established a home room for themselves under the direction of Mr. Alvin Sutton now came under the rule of Mr. W. G. Entrekin. This year the tribe of Sophomores played an important part in the activities of the land and the year was highlighted by many events. Part of the tribe traveled to the Planetarium, others made a tour of R. J. R. Tobacco Co., and again the grade mothers sponsored a picnic, this time at Reynolds Park. In 1950, feeling important because of their new rank, that of Juniors, the tribe again arrived at KHS. Half the tribe was directed by Miss Ruth Parker, the others by Miss Vera Williamson. Again Donnie Warren took over the difficult task of President. Although the tribe was divided they became closer as they worked for the Junior-Senior Banquet, and produced a Junior | play. They also had the tasks of operating the concession stand, selling magazines and sweaters to sponsor the Junior- Senior Banquet, which was held at the O. Henry Hotel. The fourth year was marked by the inward changes of the band, for the humble tribe which had invaded the Freshmen stronghold three years before now became Seniors. For the first time during their stay in the land of KHS, The tribe was united, with Mrs. W. K. Grogan directing them. The Seniors did greatly impress themselves upon the lower tribes, as they occupied the main offices of the land, with M. F. Mot- singer serving as class president. The biggest project was a trip to Washington. The top event of the year, of course, was graduation. As the great tribe of 1952 entered the last COLLEEN CARTER Class Historian phase of life ac KHS, they realized that the period spent there had been rich and full; and they were now ready to 1 go forth to a new phase of life.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT State of North Carolina County of Forsyth Township of Kernersville Kernersville High School June, 1952, A. D. Know ye by these present that we the Class of 1952, of Kernersville High School, after a twelve year journey from the land of ignorance do hereby de- clare this our last will and testament. Article I, Section I To Mr. Sigmon and the rest of the rulers, we leave our thanks and ap- preciation for their vain efforts to educate a wild group of 45 students. Article II, Section I To Mrs. Grogan, our faithful leader this eventful year, we will a rowdy, yet promising host of Juniors, in the event that she remind them each morning that the Senior Class of ’52 was the best to ever embark on Kernersville’s shores. Article III, Section I To the rising Senior Class, we bequeath our mistakes and blunders, but also our privileges, which are small in quantity, but large in quality. Article III, Section II To the present high-flying Sophomores, we ascribe the thought that their “days are numbered.” Cram your last two years full of fond memories, confessions and school work. Article III, Section III To the timid, green Freshmen, we leave our sympathy, for the road ahead is dark and weary and for three years they’ll be haunted by the antics of those tantalizing Seniors. Article III, Section IV To the incoming Freshmen, the Class of 56, we bequeath our class flower, the “Red Rose.” And our sacred class colors, “Green and White.” Regard them with dignity. Article IV, Section I Realizing that the Senior Class of 1952 is passing through the portals of Kernersville to another “stamping ground,” we individually make the following bequeaths: I. Maricowles Dunlap, promise to give to Sarah Vance all my “be-bop” records, because I know she is one who loves and appreciates fine music. I, J. Van Williard, leave my ‘“‘A’’ model to Jimmy Wilson so he can get to school on time as I always do and so he can meet all the new girls who move to town. I, Colleen Carter, leave my Valedictorian Award and Locker No. III to Larry Hayes as a token of remembrance. I, Roger Hester, will my new haircut to Nelson Angell, a boy who looks just too nice with all that curly hair. I, Mary Ann Flynt, bequeath my lady-like ways to Arnold Pender. I, David Helms, promise to show Frances Beeson a well-worn path to the home of the West's. _ I, Doris Smith, bequeath my talkative ways to Lucille Kirkman and Jim Bob Winfree. Since they didn’t ‘cut up’ any their Junior year, I want them to have fun as Seniors. I, Charles Meadows, will my megaphone to JoAnn Williard and Trilba Hutchens. I, Barbara Ragland, leave my French book to a French lover, Fontaine Carter, providing he makes an “A” each quarter. I, Wilma Flynt, will my ability to legally miss classes to Wes Atkins, a less fortunate pal of mine. Wesley, always ask Mr. Nelson for your excuses. I, Jeanne Gray West, leave my May Court and Crown to Sylvia Smith. I, Gertrude Merritt, bequeath my basketball uniform and shoes to Shirley Corder, providing her playing is worthy of the honor of wearing my clothes. I, Wilson Gwyn, leave my well-worn hat and dignified specs to a little guy with big id Charles Ridgell, better known as “Weebit.” F guy 1g ideas, Die I, Elwood Sears, reluctantly leave my 30 point basketball scoring record to Ralph Warren, as a challenge to set a new one if he can. I, Marie Pender, will my dignity and poise to a frivolous Junior. dame, namely Patsy Beeson. i, Mary Pegram, will my position as forward on the basketball team to Barbara Blackburn, with the request that she not break my record. I, Elaine Crews, leave my ability to solve difficult geometry problems to Jerry Shields. I, Shirley Kiger Whitaker, leave my ability to get a man to Barbara Kiger; and “Squeakie,” since it’s “Leap Year” your chances are good. I, Catherine Martin, bequeath my typewriter, “Speedy,” to Harold West providing he won't abuse it when he doesn’t type even 17 wpm. I, Joe Vance, will my flirtatious ways to Barbara Sechrest, a girl who already has a man and won't need them. I, Jean Thomas, will to Alice Osborne and Betty Barrow, a few extra pounds so they'll look larger and I'll look smaller. I, H. V. Parrish, bequeath a life-long friendship to Jeanette Dull. I, Sallie Greenfield, the ‘“girl-most-likely-to-succeeed,’ do leave my title to Joyce Porter, requesting that she succeed in making up her heart as well as she has her mind. I, Robert Helms, leave my “way with girls” to a couple of nice fellows who might need some advice, Billy Brown and Stanley Beeson. I, Buddy Phillips, a newcomer to KHS will to Maxine Joyner, another person of the same status, my ability to break test tubes and keep the chemistry class upset. I, Annie Litaker, the 12th grade’s quietest girl, leave my quietness to Kay Stafford and Henry Flynt, who could use it if they would. I, Faye Marshall, leave my Ipana smile to Mary Ruth Marshall with the thought, “the easier to charm him with, my dear!” I, Jerry Royals, sadly leave my position as co-captain of the football team to Bobby Perdue. I, Nancy Osborne, bequeath all my thoughts and possessions to Jimmy Broadstreet. I, Donnie Warren, will my charming personality to Jerry Smith to use all the time for everyone's benefit, especially his own. I, Mary Lillian Calhoun, pass on to Betty Jo Stafford and Wyatt Lefever my chewing gum, hoping they'll enjoy it in English Class as much as I did. I, Jan Winfree, leave my sense of humor to Gaylene Brown providing she laugh long and loud for five minutes each morning during typing. I, Mary Southern, leave my sarcasm to Vivian Macy, hoping she won't use it. I, Goldie Musten, will my friendly and courteous ways to two deserving red heads, Barbara West and Mary Nelson. I, R. B. Jones, bequeath my ability to keep that Walkertown girl to Richard Larrimore, who hasn’t quite had the experience that I have. I, Elizabeth Spainhour, pass my haircut to Deleno Fulp, but ask that he part his hair in the middle instead of wearing bangs. I, J. C. Gray, leave my ability to sleep in English Class to Charles West. I, Doris Dull, will my bashful ways to Wade Swaim hoping he'll take heed and use them. I, Wylene McGee, leave my recipe for fudge to JoAnn Swain so she can make the Sociology Class more sociable. I, M. F. Motsinger, bequeath my name to Betty Lou Motsinger, providing she never says “I do” to anyone else. I, Betty Alice Williard, leave to LaRue McGee my chairmanship in the Student Council and ask that she not shirk her duty. I, Alyce Jean Stafford, bequeath to my faithful standby, Bess Stafford a pass to the premises of the Senior Class. I, Joan Swisher, will to Mary Sue Kerner and Peggy Biby, realizing they can use it, my height. We, Kay Ballard and Evon Cain, leave to Louise Stafford and Shirley Davis our habit of being inseparable. We've had fun and wish you the same.

My classmates must have done well for themselves! I was anxious to see all the old class—some of them I hadn’t seen or heard from in years. Doris Smith met me at the door. She’s Charles’s able assistant. First in the receiving line were Charles and his wife. She’s from South America, you know, and I’ve heard she has a red hot disposition as well as plenty of money. Charles met her while SALLIE GREENFIELD, Prophet he was studying tropical diseases in i Brazil. There was something strangely famil- iar about the couple standing next to Dr. and Mrs. Meadows in the receiving line. The gray-haired gentleman of distinction and his lovely wife were none other than Dr. and Mrs. C. V. Sigmon of Raleigh, North Carolina. Dr. Sigmon is now State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Next in line were M. F. Motsinger, our Senior Class President, and his wife, Betty Lou. Besides his successful television company, M. F. is still winning elections—he’s the youngest mayor Kernersville has ever had! Mary Ann Flynt, who is the reporter for the “Who’s Who” column of the Kernersville Daily News was running all over the place interviewing the celebrities. The first on her list, of course, was Mrs. Grogan, our Senior Sponsor. Mrs. Grogan seemed prouder of the fact that she had recently been chosen “prettiest grandmother of the year” than that she was serving as Kernersville High School’s first Lady Principal. Next, Mary Ann interviewed Buddy Phillips with his ten-gallon hat and all. He came all the way from his 10,000 acre ranch in Arizona just for the reunion. Then Mary Ann went on to interview the literary member of the class. It is nobody else but our Jan who is down to 108 pounds now. She’s the author of a best seller—“How To Reduce in 5,000 Easy Lessons.” Elizabeth Spainhour came in wearing her good-looking Wac’s uniform. She joined soon after graduation and after serving in interesting places like Hawaii and Japan, she married a soldier and is now a recruiting officer. Out on the terrace, I could see Jerry Royals and Elwood Sears and their wives dancing to the soft music. Jerry played three years of fine college football for Carolina (Choo-Choo Royals they called him). Elwood became star of the basketball team there. They both came bac k to Kernersville to marry their high school sweethearts though! _I joined a group of the girls at one end of the ballroom. They were talking, naturally about their clothes, husbands, and children. Shirley Whitaker said that Roy was keeping their three children—two boys and a girl—because they couldn’t get a baby sitter. _ We started talking about the race Evon and Alyce Jean had to see who would get married first after graduation. We'll never forget who won that race! Doris Dull worked for awhile as Secretary of the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce, you know. She resigned when she married and moved to Denver, Colorado. They say Catherine Martin made a lot of money for the Church Realty and Insurance Company selling lots in Kernersville’s exclusive Country Club Development. _. Suddenly we heard what sounded like a police siren. Surely the police weren’t going to raid the party. No, it was only Elaine and her Tom driving up in the state patrol car. Marie Pender presided at the punch bowl. The stunning dress she was wearing came from her own exclusive dress shop in Winston-Salem. Hovering near the punch bowl, as usual, was David. He used his Senior superlative of “friendliest” to help him become one of the biggest politicians in the country. He’s goi i me_ : ’ oing to run for president on the Prohibition Party ticket next. Fu cpaae 26 Wilma and Dr. Colleen were talking away just like they used to in 6th period study. Yes, I said Dr. Colleen. After getting her A.B. from W. C., Colleen went on to get her M. A. from Carolina, then her P.H.D. from Columbia. Now she has her M. R. S. from Larry. We never thought our Wilma, “biggest flirt’ in the Senior Class would be a preacher's wife. However, wonders never cease, so today Wilma is as busy as she was in high school days, running the parsonage for the First Baptist Church in St. Louis for V. W. The other teacher in the class, besides Colleen, was Mary Lillian. After graduation from Meredith, Mary Lillian came back to teach. Some of her pupils are the children of the members of the Class of ’52. As I looked around the room, I thought about the far away places some of my classmates had come from. There were JoAnn and Jean who had- come from Florida. Nobody was much eae when JoAnn and Jean, being best friends all through high school, had a double wedding. Roger Hester came from Washington, D. C. He’s the farmer who went to town and he’s now in the Agricultural Research Department in Washington. Barbara Ragland came all the way from France. Her hard work in French class plus her personality landed her a job as secretary with the American Embassy in France. Barbara flew over on the same plane on which Kay is an airplane hostess. Kay has certainly seen a lot of the world, but mainly from an airplane. Several of my classmates had kept the homefires burning, though. Goldie became a nurse and stayed right on here in Kernersville; she’s in the children’s ward of Kernersville’s new Memorial Hospital, and the most cheerful nurse there, too. All the big trucks you see these days have Parrish Trucking Company on the sides. Ten year ago, H. V. started out as a truck driver, but now he owns his own Kernersville Company. Most of the class looked definitely ten years older, but mot Annie. She hadn’t changed a bit. They say the Kernersville schoo! children are all crazy about her since she runs the Cafeteria. All the girls were raving about Shirley’s new hair style. She finally told us it was a Faye original. Yes, Faye Marshall gave up her job as a secretary and became a hair designer. I talked to the two Marys, both of whom are running homes and keeping their jobs. Mary Southern is society editor of the Winston-Salem Journal and Mary Pegram is head of the 4-H work in Forsyth County. By the way, both Marys married their Jacks as we all thought they would. Donnie and Wylene were two of our classmates who went into some field of medicine. Wylene took her nurse’s training at City Hospital in Winston-Salem. Donnie is Atlanta’s leading dentist. If you want to know what the weather will be like week after next, Wilson Gwyn said just to call him at the Weather Bureau. He’s got Wiley Sim’s job now as chief weather prophet. Gertrude kept right on playing basketball after graduation for Hanes Hosiery. She’s now the “most athletic girl” in the country. Charles asked some of the more talented members of the class to present a program. First was Maricowles at the piano. All those years of practice were worth it and we all followed her career as a concert pianist with great interest. Then Betty Alyce, Jeanne Gray, and Nancy sang for us—just like old times. Nancy recently won the Mrs. America contest in Atlantic City. It's a good thing Jeanne Gray likes to cook, because being David’s wife means cooking twenty-four hours a day! Betty Alyce married the soldier she was writing to in high school days. Last but not least on the program was Rufus. We had to laugh at the same old jokes he used to pull in high school when we voted him “wittiest boy.” The Rufus Jones show ran Milton Berle off television years ago. After the program, we thought Sam had disappeared, but we finally found him asleep just like he used to be in Senior English class. J. C. can afford to sleep though. he’s now farm agent for Guilford County. As I started to leave, I saw three of my classmates whom I hadn’t talked to. Naturally, I had to find out what had happened to them. Joe’s made quite a fortune for himself selling his patent medicine. It goes by the name of either “Joe’s Special” or ‘“Vance’s Cure-All.” After 10 years, Robert is still the class’s most eligible bachelor. He’s trying for his fourth world record as a stock car racer next week. While Robert is breaking records on the ground, J. Van is breaking them in the air. He’s a jet pilot and he recently broke the world’s record for around the world flying. What happened to me after graduation? Well, remember my love for a uniform? For myself I chose to wear the green uniform of a Girl Scout Director and I also chose another uniform or rather, I should say, the right man in the uniform. This is what happened to each member of the Class of 1952. I predict that the days ahead will continue to be bright and happy for each one, but gone forever are the golden days of youth when we were school mates together. : er 07 C'est fini! OUTSTANDING SENIORS On the following pages, the RETROSPECT Staff salutes the Outstanding Seniors of 1951-52. We believe that their achievements have been so great that they deserve special recognition for the honors they have won. ELAINE CREWS Her achievements are great; her activities many; but Elaine has been chosen an Outstanding Senior because she has so capably held the office of President of the Student Organization this year. Throughout her high school years, Elaine has won both local and county recognition for her Student Organization work. She has worked diligently with the band, F. H. A., and is, this year, a member of the Beta Club. We commend you, Elaine, for your superior work. WILMA FLYNT For her superior traits of character, outstanding leadership, above average scholarship, loyal service to the school and her co-operative attitude toward the students and her teachers, she has been named Civitan Award Winner for 1952. Wilma is serving this year as editor of the BEEHIVE and is student sponsor for the Teen-Age Recreation Club. Her activities are many and varied. She is school reporter for the Winston-Salem Sentinel, scorekeeper for the athletic department, and secretary of the Beta Club. In addition to her school work, she takes an active part in church work, and, she is in every respect an Outstanding Senior. The RETROSPECT salutes you, Wilma. COLLEEN CARTER Through her entire school years, Colleen has shown outstanding leadership ability, and the highest scholarship qualities. She has played a large part in club activities, and has represented her room in the Student Organization. She is vice-president of the Beta Club. Perhaps her greatest honor came when she was recently chosen Valedictorian for the Senior Class. It is for this honor and the capable way in which she has handled the editorship of the RETROSPECT that we consider Colleen an Outstanding Senior. MARICOWLES DUNLAP Though she has only attended Kernersville School for three years, the students and faculty recognize her as an outstanding student. In the field of music, she is a superior pupil; but we of the RETROSPECT Staff salute you, Maricowles, for winning Salutatorian. SALLIE GREENFIELD She was chosen DAR Good Citizen for her Senior year on the basis of her many activities, high scholarship, and cooperative attitude. During the past summer she represented North Carolina at an International Girl Scout Encampment, and later she represented the United States on a national radio broadcast. It is easily understood why we consider Sallie an Outstanding Senior. We of the RETROSPEC T Staff wish to join her classmates in predicting her “most likely to succeed.” 28 ELAINE CREWS President of the Student Organization WILMA FLYNT Civitan Award COLLEEN CARTER Valedictorian MARICOWLES DUNLAP Salutatorian 0 SALLIE GREENFIELD DAR Award C Mock iy oem Our journey was like a seaman Who was stranded on the sea at night— No skill to read the compass, Nowhere a guiding light. We searched the darksome waters; We tried with all our might To get the proper learning, To find a harbor light. Then lo! from out the darkness A glimmer eased our plight— A parent’s hand, a teacher’s, a friend’s, Held high a signal light. So now’s the journey’s end for us; Today the land’s in sight. Thank God for hands that showed the way, That held the beacon light. R. B. JoNEs at JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS With determination to make this the best Junior Class ever to be at Kernersville, the class elected Betty Jo Stafford, Secretary; Larry Hayes, President; and Shirley Corder, Vice-President. JUNIOR CLASS SETS GOAL FOR FUTURE | Under the sponsorship of Miss Ruth Parker and Mr. James Nelson the Junior Class made early plans for the year. Measurements were taken early for the class rings which were to arrive in the spring. Working at the concession stand, selling magazines and many other projects were started to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Y.W.C.A. in Winston- Salem. To encourage dancing, the Junior Class sponsored a series of dance lessons under the supervision of Dorminy Studio. With fond memories of a successful Junior year, the class is looking forward eagerly to an even more successful senior year. 35 JUNIORS Nelson Angell Wesley Atkins Betty Barrow Peggy Biby Patsy Beeson Stanley Beeson Frances Beeson Barbara Blackburn Jimmie Broadstreet Billy Brown Gaylene Brown Fontaine Carter Shirley Corder Shirley Davis Jeanette Dull 36 JUNIORS Henry Flynt Delano Fulp Larry Hayes Trilba Hutchens Mary Sue Kerner Barbara Kiger Lucille Kirkman Richard Larrimore Wyatt Lefever Vivian Macy Mary Ruth Marshall LaRue McGee .

The Raiders made an impressive debut by defeating Clem- mons 14-8. It was the first time the Clemmons team had been beaten in four years. Jerry Royals, co-captain of the team and left end was named player-of-the-week for his fine play against South Fork. He scored two touchdowns and kicked three extra points which are good for 6 points in six-man play—a total of 18 points. Half back, Bob Perdue won player-of-the-week honors against Harmony High. He scored one touchdown on a 30 yard run, was a key block on another play, and set up another touchdown. He also played his usual fine defensive game. Donnie Warren, Jimmie Broadstreet, Jerry Smith, Larry Hayes, Joe Vance and Jerry Royals were on the line-up.

Other guards were Jean Ingram, Mary Ann Flynt and Mildred Swaim. Forwards were Patsy Beeson, Lucille Kirkman, Carol Marshall, Mary Pegram, Joyce Porter, and Barbara Blackburn.

Sarah Flynt The season was studded with upsets, four players-of-the- week, new scoring records and a new type of basketball, a “two platoon system.” The usual starting line-up was composed of Stanley Stafford, Ralph Warren, Donnie Warren, Jerry Royals and Elwood Sears. An impressive “A-2” team was sparked by Wesley Atkins, Larry Hayes, Bob Perdue, Jim Wilson, and Jerry Smith. A 67-65 double overtime victory over league-leading Lewis- ville highlighted the season along with knocking Griffith out of first place the same week with a score of 49-47, also overtime. It was in the Lewisville game that Elwood Sears, scoring 30 51 points set a new scoring record for a Kernersville player in the KHS gym. For his work he was selected county player-of-the-week. Donnie Warren, 6'1” center was named top county player- of-the-week for his fine defensive play and rebound work against Old Richmond. It was his timely shooting that helped Kerners- ville win the game. Holding the county's leading scorer, Joe Brown, to only 3 points gave another Kernersville guard, Jerry Royals, player- of-the-week honors. Jerry also led the Kernersville scoring for the season with 221 points. The fourth player to make player-of-the-week was Ralph Warren, who did an outstanding job at Jamestown, against Cleve-_ land High, in the Class A district tournament. Jerry Royals, Donnie Warren, and Ralph Warren, The team set a new team scoring record for both city and county in their 82-36 trouncing over Old Town.

For Kernersville—— JUNIOR CHEERLEADERS 60 BAND THE HIGH FALUTIN’' BAND STUDENTS ARE SPORTING NEW UNIFORMS Under the leadership of a mew director Mr. C. A. Ballance, the Kernersville High School Band moved forward this year. Band Officers were Elaine Crews, President; Johnny Mack Nelson, Vice-President; Lou Gail Vereen, Librarian; and John Wiley Stewart, Assistant Librarian. The band played for all the home football games and for a couple of the basketball games. A recent addition to the band is the newly formed Band Parent's Club, which meets regularly to discuss band problems. The band often entertains at these meetings. Also, as a result of several varied campaigns for funds, the band is sporting new uniforms. 62 SAXAPHONES WOODWINDS TRUMPETS 63 TROMBONES AND FRENCH HORN HOMECOMING PARADE 64 The Glee Club’s “Wishing Well Float’ Wins the Homecoming Prize GLEE CLUB SETS PACE FOR MUSIC DEPARTMENT Under the direction of Mrs. J. R. Blackwell, the Glee Clubs, both high school and elementary, have moved forward rapidly through a most successful year. The first main event of the year was the Operetta, ‘For the Love of Mike,” which fifty-eight high school girls and twenty-four boys gave. Proceeds from this production went toward the purchase of vestments. At Christmastime, the Glee Club presented a beautiful Christmas pageant. The text of the pageant was Biblical, with the girls group representing the Angelic Choir, and the boys group playing the characters in the five scenes. One of the most anticipated events of the year was the All-State Chorus Festival in Greensboro. Music students from every section of North Carolina assembled for two days of practice. The climax of the Festival came when a formal concert was presented in Aycock Auditorium at W. C. U. N. C. The performance was a source of great inspiration, not only to those participating, but to the massive audience as well. The Glee Clubs are now looking forward eagerly to a May Day Festival which will be held the first week in May. 65 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB HIGH SCHOOL BOYS’ GLEE CLUB 66 ELEMENTARY GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB ELEMENTARY BOYS’ GLEE CLUB 67 CONTEST ENTRIES SOLOIST Jerry Shields_.____.__.......

Individual achievements were displayed with several informal recitals held at school or at students’ homes. This year, a large group of students, approximately one hundred, were organized into clubs;, grouped according to their age. The following clubs were organized: The Melody Club, The First Piano Club, The Junior High Music Club, and The High School Piano Students. 71 ea ae rr PIANO The students are looking forward to the formal recital which will be held in the school auditorium in the early spring. The program usually consists of solos, duets, duo- piano and an ensemble of four or six pianos.
