With this fact in mind we have tried to capture and put in print some of the most important events and achievements of this year. Like hundreds before us, we have been looking forward to the day we are to receive our diplomas. But it is with a sense of pride that we present this work hoping that each mem- ber of Landis High School may live on in the memories of each of us through the pages of the 1940 YELLow JACKET. Nodal Bar TO OUR PARENTS To us you are symbolic of everything that is good and noble in life. For us you have sacrificed time, fortune, and pleasure. In us you have placed great confidence; you have entrusted us with the high responsi- bility of carrying on the work you have started. Your high ideals, your understanding, your sympathy have been our guides through these years. It is with deepest affection and appreciation that we dedicate the 1940 YELLOW JACKET to our parents.

BostIAn Principal THANKS TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS In due consideration to the Board Members, who have been a great asset to our school, we give our most whole hearted thanks. These men have given us the help and cooperation which it takes to have a successful school. The Yellow Jacket Staff of 1940 ies aah Ad See a i Ce ee T. F. BOSTIAN rincipad 4 e55AGe The greatest responsibility that comes to any man or woman is that of helping to mold character. That is the responsibility of the Landis faculty to the students and to the citizens of this community. Realizing this, we have tried to give to you the best that is in us in order that you might be able to know more, do more, and be more. Wherever you go, whatever you do, remember that your character is your greatest asset. As Browning said, “All service ranks the same with God.” You may dig ditches, or you may become the nation’s greatest scientist; but the question that really counts is the one “What kind of a man are you?” It is my hope that each student who leaves this school may always have a character that is above every reproach.

The sight of us should have discouraged our class advisers, Miss Verna Mae Hahn and Mr. C. G. Farmer; but instead they took us under their wings and set- tled us to work. OCTOBER ended and we found ourselves an accepted part of the high school. Many of us had be- come members of various clubs and were really enjoying high school life. Initiation NOVEMBER We needed some class leader so we chose our officers. We selected Hattie Wright for president, Rachel Linn for vice-president, Norman Shue for secretary, and Elvie Mc- Creary for treasurer. DECEMBER This month was a mixture of joys and sorrows. We had our first high school exams and many of, us were ‘‘in red.’’ The Christmas holi- days didn't come before we needed them. Santa Claus was pretty good to us considering that we had to show our report card first. JANUARY We were only half green now. Hattie and Wayne had been making a name for themse!ves on the basket- ball court. FEBRUARY By now we were becoming fa- mous. We made headlines by taking the class trophy in athletics. This was the first time anyone gave us credit for much ability. MARCH “Beware the Ides of March’’ we schoo! was almost out and many of us were hanging We really did do some last minute cramming. were told. Yes, on the fence. great deal, but worn off the green. APRIL Vacation came, and we separated from our classmates for the summer. Perhaps we had not accomplished a least we have 1937 1936 SEPTEMBER Fifty-seven of us answered the ringing of the school bell. And what fun we had pointing a mocking finger at the host of ‘‘green fresh- men.’ Mrs. John Fox and Mr. C. G. Farmer were our advisers. OCTOBER Our sophomore officers were: Har- o!d Sechler, president; Lee Brown Sloope, vice-president; and Margaret Jane Alexander, secretary-treasurer. We were quite interested in our first school fair. NOVEMBER The old turkey had a hard time. We ‘‘married off’’ another English teacher. Maybe we should have charged for the privilege of teaching us English. DECEMBER Christmas time again and our interest in social activities began to grow. Why shouldn't we celebrate? Another set of exams had been fin- ished and we could wait another four months to ‘‘catch up’’ on our studying. JANUARY Our class seemed to be athletic- minded. The basketball team boasted the names of several of our boys and girls. FEBRUARY Our girls basketball team came out as county champions again this year. Various members of our class served as sponsors for the basketball tournament. This had come to be a happy occasion for all of us. MARCH We were really making a record for ourselves. Again we captured the cup for intermural athletics. APRIL “April showers bring forth May flowers.’’ So said someone. We were ready to look forward to being jolly juniors now. With this in mind we planned ta sponsor some shows dur- ing the summer in order that we might begin a much needed bank account, 1940 Soe Diary 1935-1939 OCTOBER We began seeking ways and means for financing our big event of the year, the junior-senior banquet. We found that this was easier said than done. SEPTEMBER Fifty-one jolly to begin what turned out year of much dispute and many arguments. Our officers were Lee Brown Sloope, president; Wayne Fleming, vice-president; Joe Roberts, secretary; and Herman Weaver, treas- urer. NOVEMBER Now we had established a real reputation for ourselves. Our third high school English teacher embarked upon the sea of matrimony. returned to be a juniors DECEMBER Basketball practice was well un- der way and our star athletes were making a name for themselves on our teams. Our class meetings were becoming famous for their long and heated arguments. The only thing we agreed on was that we didn't -agree with anybody. JANUARY Our bank account was growing slowly. We now had a real subject for debate; namely, where should the junior-senior banquet be held? We shed tears, made enemies, and lost friends over this. FEBRUARY Finally, the hotel-minded group won, and we went to Salisbury (by boat) to a very delightful junior- senior banquet. This was the first time we had a real dance following the banquet. To say we had fun is expressing it mildly. Mrs. Doron breathed a sigh of relief, MARCH For our first dramatic efforts we selected ‘‘Full of Youth.’ We didn’t have any Clark Gables, but at least we lived up to the title. APRIL Our grade parents honored us with a junior-senior prom. Com- mencement time rolled around again, We found ourselves gathering flowers for the daisy chains. Those hard- hearted seniors refused to weep. We hated to see them go but we were glad to look forward to taking their places next year. MOS IGANG, SEPTEMBER In all our senior dignity we re- turned to prove that we were capa- ble of filling our places as leaders of the student body. Norman Shue was our very capable president; Mar- garet Sloope, vice-president; Okla Butts, secretary; and Harold Sechler, treasurer, OCTOBER Hattie Wright and Wayne Flem- ing became very ‘‘business-minded’’ as they operated the store. We be- came magazine salesmen in order to increase our bank account. We are still waiting for that ice-cream sup- per which we were promised. NOVEMBER The members of the annual staff were announced. Some of them went to Washington and Lee University for the S.I.P.A. convention, and to our delight brought back the cup, first place award for our annual. DECEMBER We rushed the season and gave our senior play ‘‘Spring Fever.’’ Oh, well, according to our teachers we had a chronic case of that. Our rings finally came, and we felt our- selves a very select group now. They really were pretty. JANUARY Snow and more snow! We didn’t know we did like school so well until we had to take two snow vacations. Believe it or not, we had our Easter holidays in January. FEBRUARY The juniors entertained us royally with a banquet followed by a dance at Hotel Concord. Twas an occasion to be remembered by all of us. APRIL Those long awaited caps and gowns finally came out of hiding. We were really going to receive our “sheepskins.’” As we could not MARCH We needed some extra days in this month. Basketball tournament, last minute work on the annual, final book reports kept us so busy that we almost forgot that we had classes leave without leaving our best wishes to attend. to the underclassmen and faculty members for all the things they have done to make our high school days happy. HAROLD SECHLER Historian Twenty-one entor (Hiss rophecy One evening I came into the sitting room from a good supper and seated myself comfortably before the fire. While sitting there, watching the crackling flames dance merrily in the fireplace, I fell asleep and began dreaming a most strange dream. Imagine my surprise and pleasure to find myself in the year 1950, learning the whereabouts and occupations of my former classmates and fellow seniors of 1940. Margaret Jane Alexander seems to have been very successful, for she is now the happy wife of a handsome young man. And Velma Beaver, ah, I am proud to have been her class mate, because now she is one of our most celebrated novelists, George Poteat being her wealthy publisher. W. S. Abernathy must have received his start by “knowing all the answers,” in high school, for he is now Professor Quiz Abernathy on station W-I-S-E. On the same station is Virginia Campbell making very interesting and educational lectures, with Charles Sutton as her question and answer man. Bernard Beaver is chief construction engineer of Cannon Mills Company, Okla Butts being his secretary. Our new head matron of the Landis orphanage is Helen Carter, and Espie McCreary holds a prominent position on the orphanage board. When Kenneth Corriher worked so hard during the School Fair, he was just preparing himself for bringing the World’s Fair to Landis. On exhibit in the fair are some of Marvin Corriher’s prize frogs, which he has been raising for the past few years. Hazel Dayvault, I’m sorry to say, has had trouble finding a husband, and so resorted to com- posing soothing music. This music is taught by Rachel Linn, as a sideline, because she has become an honored college professor. You would never guess what Leonard Freeze is doing, anyway, please don’t be surprised. He is called the Lucky Freeze who speedily spans the spacious speedways. Landis is indeed lucky to have such a fine mayor as Ray Freeze, whose closest adviser is Charles Funderburke, Captain of the U. S. Army detachment stationed at Landis. Wayne Fleming’s love of athletes and her desire to become a nurse, caused her to become a nurse for baseball players. Speaking of baseball, I see Owen Linn is the manager of a very well trained team. Jeanette Linn, as you all know, dearly loved French, so she has become the French teacher in Landis. Elvie McCreary is one of our lucky classmates, for she married a wealthy man and lives in a fine home in Panama. Junior Karriker gained so much experience during his senior year, that he now has a Column in the Landis Gazette; “Advice For The Love Lorn.” Mildred Troutman works in the new post office of Landis, assisted by Selma Wilson. Hattie Wright is rather busy between keeping matters straight in a certain Drug Store, and supervising the driving of some Coca-Cola trucks. No, Hazel Lee Medlin is not married, but she has great hopes about a young minister. The progressive professor of Marion College is none other than Foil McLaughlin. Another in this college from our midst is Elouise Overcash. Naturally a college has a Home Economics instructor, so who could it be but Faye Ruth Nesbitt. Nita Mae Ritchie is the owner of a very high rate beauty salon in oun fair city, and although there are no connections whatsoever, Pauline Riley is a nurse, working next door. The capable manager of the Landis-China-Grove Airline is Harold Sechler, whose competitor is Joe Roberts, driving Swift Horse Bus No. 71. Arlene Sloan must truly love children, because she teaches two kindergarden classes a day. Have you noticed lately in the newspapers about the greatly increased rate of deaths? I wonder if the Home Economics Teacher of the high school, Martha Teeter, has anything to do with it, or maybe it is caused by the chain of hamburger stands owned by Margaret Thomas. The strange occupation of our group is held by Margaret Sloope, who designs postage stamps for the U. S. Government. Louise Smith is the secretary of Hamilton Arrowood, who is an electric motor engineer. Winston Rape has found a very pleasant occupation, that of taking passengers to the South Seas on his ship. Norman Shue must be a great admirer of French, for besides finishing it in one year, he is now a loved singer of French songs. Ikey Snipes is the most prized worker in the office of the Landis Power Company and she is doing extra well. Then I saw a figure just as my dreams faded away. The figure was myself, but the glimpse I caught only increased my curiosity, for now I have to wait to find my own future.

You know Hayden Hilton was talking about going to Greensboro on his bicycle and last week I saw one of our softball players go OUT on aa eve Coach Cunningham, a new teacher, introduced a new sport to Landis High School. In the spring of 1940 softball for the first time was organized. Many of our girls went out for the sport and enjoyed the fun it provided.

Several of the students are learning as well as several teachers. That reminded me of one of our teachers. She came out to learn one day and when Mr. Lawrence told her he was going to serve, she asked what he was serving—ice cream? ?? She still can’t understand why everyone laughed but she never came out again to learn. Wonder why?????? Fifty-one In a huddle . . . One, two, one, two . . . We want a touchdown . . . On the field ...
