So, we have tried to collect our scattered thoughts long enough to put down permanently just what has happened here for the past year. War and rumors of war have beset us on every side, but we strive ever onward, for “Onward is our aim...” because al- ways we remember that “Peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war.” Yollow ache Four Five DEDICATION MREG Oe EIPE THROUGH Mr. Lipe’s untiring efforts during his twenty years of service on the school board and in the years after- ward as chairman of the school board has he contributed much to the upbuilding of our school. His interest has been demonstrated unceasingly through his efforts as President of the Linn Mills, from whom quite a substantial donation to our new Vocational Building was given. With our sincere appreciation for his unfailing loyalty and interest, we sincerely dedicate this volume of the YEL- LOW JACKET to Mr. G. O. Lipe. We trust that this interest will continue in the years to come, as such civic minded citizens will be needed more than ever before. Yolo ache In MEMORIAM DIXON LAWRENCE Mr. LAWRENCE was a graduate from Lenoir Rhyne College. He was a member of the faculty of Landis High School from 1938-1941 when he was inducted into the army. He died in service of his country January 9, 1943, at Camp Riley, Kansas. A shadow fell on Landis High School upon hearing of his death, but his companions have not lost him by his re- turn to One who loved him more dearly. WE GIVE our heartfelt appreciation for the sacrifices made by the following boys, in the service of their country, who were former members of Landis High School: BILLy BEAVER HAYDEN CARTER RALPH LEAR YoHou packet Six Tae BOS TAIN Superintending Principal Landis District, Erskine College, State College B.S. Degree PRMUAMCAHP TRE Sy WME S SAGE OUR RESPONSIBILITIES as faculty members and students, to the Landis school, community, county, state, nation, yes, and even the world, is greater today than at any time in the history of mankind. We are living in a changing world, we are told, of which we are a small part; even though that be small, we must learn to adjust ourselves to our surrounding conditions. Life’ can be compared to a “Campaign.” If one should fail to prepare himself or herself well, by observing all the rules of God and nature, the result of that life is a ‘‘Failure.” Let us as faculty members and students of Landis High School prepare, by planning and map- ping out our campaign of life, which may lead to Victory. May the efforts which all have put forth in the getting out of this book, be one step nearer — the end of that Victorious Campaign. T. F.

CALMS S POE Our dream has reached fulfillment, Our graduation day is here, Joy and sadness are mingled, As the parting time draws near. Our motto, “Onward is Our Aim, Democracy—Our Goal,’ Will inspire each of us, always, To cleave to that which we hold. We've all worked well to do our best, We're loyal, just, and right. And on life's sea may we meet at last, Guarded by our Green and White. All our future success in life We will owe to our teachers dear, It was they who inspired us To do our work from year to year. And to our worthy High School, We will give all our honors due, Trusting our future deeds Will prove gratitude to you, School life! O, the charm that lingers, Will touch the chords of every heart, Happy friends and cherished memories, From which we'll never part. There’s always regret at the end of the trail, SN , SSS ellow Aacket SS There's grief that the journey is done, The red in the morning is fairer to see, Than the gold of the setting sun. MARIE CorriHer, Class Poet Sixteen On Oe lmiiGkHos OF 743 “COMPANY ASSEMBLE!” ‘Face Right!” “For- ward March!” “On the Double!” Such were the commands and instructions equal to in late August, 1939, when ninety- one recruits assembled at Landis High School to begin their four years struggle to attain the highest rank possible. Many began with advantages, their ranks being higher than others at the beginning. The Commanders Edith Beard, B. B. Broome, J. W. Bostain and Donald Cunningham saw to it that Cap- tains Arthur Lee, Jackie Sweatt and Charlie Corrther kept the force on the right course. The first eight months’ basic training was similar for all; it was stiff, but there were no dishonorable dismissals or court martials. All was not work; we had recreation in the form of clubs. Everyone did his best and gained a rank seldom reached by new te- cruits. After four months furlough, seventy-three of the recruits returned to find new Com- manders J. L. Jones and Mrs. John Fox and Sergeants Lula Belle Mason, Jackie Sweatt, Charlie Corriher and Ruth Campbell ready to lead the force for another year. The purpose now was to attain more general knowledge, specialize in certain fields and raise the gen- eral ranking of the force. The end of the year showed that our load had been carried upright against all our handicaps. 1941 found the force, though diminished to fifty-four, refreshed and ready to attain higher goals. The old Commanders had been transferred and the new ones taking their places were Mrs. Ralph Linn and Mrs. Myrtha Doron. The Lieutenants leading this year were Duard Linn, Jackie Sweatt, Robert Alexander and Dorothy Wilkinson. The big event, to be inspected by ‘The Brass Hats,’ for which the force as being drilled and re-drilled, regularly and strenu- Seventeen ously, came off in April. In full dress, the theme “We Sail Our Ship” was carried out. The “Shave Tails’ were given a chance to express their opinions and the lowliest in rank of all were permitted to listen to them —America! The land of the eq ual! The long awaited play production, di- rected by Commander Linn and produced by selected members of the force, was played before a capacity audience in April. The re- viewers proclaimed it ‘‘a perfectly executed cilia The last furlough was spent in prepata- tion for the final advancement in rank. Com- manders Helen Lee and Mrs. Ralph Linn stood by for the action from the fifty remain- ing members of the force. Duty was tre- stricted to local assignments, because of gov- ernment regulations. The force was lead by Captain Lula Belle Mason, Duard Linn, Jr., Margaret Black- welder and Robert Alexander. The first big inspection came early in the fall at a “‘recre- ation fund-booster’ in the form of a dance, which was open to the public. The second big inspection came at the pres- entation of “Miss Smarty,’ which had been drilled by Commander Linn and ably as- sisted in the cast by Captains Lula Belle Mason and Billie Troutman. The force was disappointed that the new recruits would not be able to parade for them this year, but a great sense of patriot- ism and an unfailing spirit of loyalty sup- pressed all “would-be grumblers.”’ “Bar-pinning” exercises ended the force’s full fledged officers’ four years of work and drill. Approximately fifty officers received bars and many more received medals. BILLIE TROUTMAN, BOBBIE TROUTMAN, Historians.

Each year the staff grew in experience and the annual grew in size. The yearbook continued under her direction until this year, when Miss Helen Lee became the advisor. Quite a few changes have been made in keeping with the spirit of 1943. The 1943 YELLOW JACKET accepts with pleasure its obligation and privilege of preserving a pictorial record of the year. We have attempted to gather all sorts of material in these pages which will recall to many of us the things we did while here. We hope that you will get from this edition of the YELLOW JACKET the enjoyment that we have worked for, and that we have got from our work.

BAND HIKING CLUB Thirty-seven pe Vial Cl Wie THE NATIONAL BETA CLUB is a non-secret, achievement-service organization and is the honor society of our school. Membership re- quires good mentality and character, credit- able achievement and a commendable atti- tude. The purpose of the club is the pro- motion of honesty, service and leadership among its membership. This club was organized in the year 1938 under the direction of Miss Nancy Burge. During the years 1939-1941 the club was under the capable leadership of Mr. Dixon Lawrence. In the fall of 1941 Miss Burge was again the leader, after Mr. Lawrence was called into the service. Through the excellent leadership of the new advisor for the year 1942-1943, Miss Ara Stacy Wilburn, the eleven members have had a very successful year. Wine Sve HAMA) Hip lelatalaye (bie THE THESPIAN LITERARY CLUB is an out- growth and further development of former parliamentary clubs. Under the advisorship of Miss Lee the club has as its purpose: ‘ To make its members familiar with good usage in parliamentary procedure and to give them opportunity to practice it; to learn to con- duct ourselves orderly and wisely in public speaking and debating in both humorous and serious ways.” Officers were elected and a constitution was drawn up and adopted by the members as soon as the club was organized, giving the fourteen members the necessary basic AIRPLA THE AIRPLANE CLUB is made up of boys who are interested in modeling airplanes and how to identify them. The meetings are held in the scout hut and the boys work in parliamentary knowledge. Dr. Albert Keiser’s ‘Parliamentary Law for Students” was adopted as the parliamentary authority for the club. Humorous talks and serious talks both short and long ones are prepared and given by the members. Constructive criticism 1s encouraged at all times. Only a small amount of debating has been engaged in the club itself, because of more interest in other phases. The Thespian Literary Club hopes to pro- duce a fine group of public speakers at Landis School. NE CLUB pairs, modeling planes. The plan is for each to make at least one model this year to the best of his ability, even though the club was organized late and the periods are short. Fins) (AD) GIL 6 AFTER SEVERAL YEARS’ absence from Landis High School, a First Aid Club has again been organized under the leadership of Mrs. Ralph Linn. Several years ago such a club was organized entitling the participants to Yolou packet a half unit of credit; the club gives no credit this year. Students find this club interesting as well as instructive. They realize that training in Thirty-eight first aid will never cease to be a benefit to them. The First Aid Club has a three-fold pur- pose. First: to help prevent accidents in the surrounding community; second: to equip the members of the club with sufficient knowledge so as to be able to determine the nature and extent of an injury; and third: to be trained to give the proper aid at the proper time. DOMME OO es: Clb DoMESTICITY is never a wasted art or an unneeded virtue. Although it has been sev- eral years since the Landis High School has had an active Home Economics Club, the members of the club have not lost their art. This year, under the leadership of Miss Elizabeth Pearsall, the club which 1s called “The Jolly Eckers,’’ has as its purpose the development of personality, leadership, int- tiative and poise. Stress during the year 1942-1943 is being put on health, through which they hope to become better Ameri- cans, by being physically fit. The members hope that through the Home Economics Club they may better serve their community, their school and their family. AGRICULTURE CLUB THE AGRICULTURE CLUB had its beginning in 1934 under the direction of Mr. D. W. Bennett. The idea of the club was to train boys from the county, despite the fact that many of the forty-six charter members were from town. Most of the projects were small during Mr. Bennett’s three years and his successor Mr. B. B. Broome’s five years; mainly corn and cotton were raised. County boys compose completely the club now, and the membership is thirty-two, its decrease in number due to its limitation to county boys. The club has specialized in ART A NEW CLUB has been added to the ranks this year, not only new, but different. We have no officers, not even a treasurer. We do have a sponsor who is one of the best, Miss Inez Lynch. With a humble beginning of three we have grown to thirteen, who work together with a common purpose. Thirty-nine chickens for the past two years raising 25,- 000; Mr. R. C. Pittman has been the advisor. The Agriculture Club has the best equipped shop and building in North Carolina. Twenty-one defense classes have been held— classes in electricity, auto mechanics, metal work and poultry production. This club has been keeping in the war effort this year by gathering scrap iron, scrap rubber and by buying war bonds and stamps. The mem- bers of this chapter have $4,000 bonds ma- turity value. CLUB The development of individuality in style and thought is stressed, each one expressing himself through his work. The girls do de- signing and sketches and the boys draw an1- mals and figures, all from actual photo- graphs. From this recreation and these bud- ding efforts it is hoped that a happy leisure or a life career may result. Yellow packet sess ite eaennt) ans 5?) ett = SS S DANCING CLUB THE DANCING CLUB was organized with the purpose of teaching students how to dance. Progress has been made each year, as the students have become more interested in the art of dancing. The aim this year is to learn new dancing steps. Many know the “‘box-step” and the two-step,’ but since there are about fifty students in the club, each is requested to “put on a “thinking cap” and contribute a new step to the club. Of course officers were elected and members decided to pay dues, with which new dance records were pur- chased. Though “jitterbug” dancing has been the “craze” for this generation, dancing to soft music “as grandmother did’ was learned also. Capable leaders have produced excel- lent results in the club this year. FRESHMAN SUB-DEB CLUB SuB-DEBs, you know, are those young ladies just below the late teens. Some forty of them meet each club day in the library. As proper clubs do they elected officers and proceeded SOPHOMORE THIs SuB-DEB CLUB is composed of ap- proximately thirty self-improvement, socially and intellectually. They want to learn to live and work with other people in the most with the business at hand. Their aim is for more ‘“know-how-to-do-itness’ in social and personal life. Take forty girls any day and things are bound to happen—they did. SUB-DEB CLUB pleasant way, and to make good use of their leisure time, enjoying the world in which they live. SEMI Gillet CLs THE GLEE CLUB was organized in 1928 under the public school direction of Miss Carlotta Barnes. For two years she was a capable leader of the choir and it made an excellent beginning. From 1930-1933 Dr. H. A. Stirewalt and Mrs. Nellie Wine Dick- ensheets gave their services, and were paid from local tax funds. Mrs. Selma Steagall directed the choir during the year 1933- 1934, followed by Miss Nancy Burge 1935- 1936. Miss Louisa Cox was the director dur- ing the school year 1936-1937. Under the direction of Mrs. John Fox from 1937-1942 the choir made very good progress. During Yollru Packet all these years the choir participated in music contests at Greensboro and won high dis- tinction in music in their particular school group. The club has undergone a change during this school year. Mr. Frederick Sieberg was the capable director until shortly before Christmas, when he was called into the serv- ice. Miss Marguerite Smith took over the club for the last semester. The December Choral Clinic in Sailsbury was attended, but gas and tire restrictions have cut down any further trips and con- certs for the choir. Forty JUNIOR GLEE CLUB HERETOFORE the Junior Glee Club and the Senior Glee Club have been combined in purpose and in results. The Junior Glee Club is separate this year and is composed of thirty-five girls from the high school, di- rected by Mr. J. P. Parker. In the earlier part of the year representa- tives from the organization attended the No- vember Choral Clinic in Salisbury. Two RDS hl G fa DURING THE first part of the year 1940, Mr. Goldman and his instructors came to Landis High School to teach the students that were taking music. The progress was slow and hard; some of the students drop- ped out, but many remained. A well received public concert was their reward for many weeks of constant practice. When the next school term started, the total number of band students was nineteen. The band was now in its second year under the direction of Miss Alma Kirstein. The band increased in membership and in ver- satility—playing at both Parent-Teacher As- sociation meetings and athletic games. The second year of work was ended by a success- ful appearance at the May Day Exercises. HIAING OUTDOOR RECREATION appeals to those of all classes and interests. Therefore each year the Hiking Club has been a great source of interest for the students. This year the club is composed of boys— those who are interested not only in hiking Forty-one chapel programs were given in the early spring and showed that the members had been working seriously. These girls will be in the Senior Glee Club next fall and the Junior Glee Club will again be composed of eighth grade students, those who will wish to sing in the Senior Glee Club some time during their high school career. SCM IL [eh AND: In the summer of 1942, Mr. Arthur Rohr, the Music Director from Cannon High School, continued practices for the mem- bers of the band. The enthusiasm increased and when school opened again in the fall, a greater opportunity was affored the stu- dents interested in band work. Mr. Fred- erick Sieberg was the new director of the Advanced and Beginning Band. At the present time the combined band totals fifty-two members. Shortly before Christmas Mr. Sieberg was called into the service, and Miss Marguerite Smith took over this work. The band’s aim is to com- pete in contests with other school bands, wearing the desired new uniforms. CLUB but also in other sports. Each club period ts spent not just in hiking; some are used for playing football and baseball and other sports. The primary purpose of the club 1s physical exercise and rec reation. About six- teen students are members of this club.

F. BosTIAN organized the Monogram Club in 1928, several years after athletics had been introduced at Landis School. He was teacher and coach until 1930 when Mr. Glenn Allen Miller became the coach and advisor. From 1931-1939 Mr. C. G. Farmer took over the leadership of athletics and the advisorship of the club. He was succeeded by Mr. J. L. Jones and Mr. Donald H. Cunningham during the years 1939-1942. These were the coaches of the three sports—football, baseball and basketball—that were played during that particular school year. Mr. T. F. Bostian and Mr. H. A. McCreary have been the advisors for the year 1942-1943. The Monogram Club is composed of any students who have won Varsity Letters in different branches of athletics or have served as managers of the teams or as cheer leaders of the student body. Its purpose has been to provide closer relationship between the athletes and to work toward better team spirit and more outstanding teams in the future.

Laurels, unsurpassed by the Greeks and Romans, are to be heaped upon their heads for the “noise” they made and produced in others. A greater amount of unity in cheering at the football, basketball and baseball games was _ pro- duced this year, due mainly to the efforts of the cheer leaders, especially the head cheer leader, and due to the interest they stirred up in the student body.

FOOTBALL 1942 IS THE FIRST YEAR that Landis High School has had an eleven-man team since 1935. There were seven years of six-man ball without any conference.

Inexperience and injuries kept the team from rising to their destined heights in spite of the excellent coaching of Mr. T. F. Bostian. Despite three intercepted passes and long runs the boys suffered a beginning loss with Troy. They then rallied to beat Jackson Training School on their home field. Victory was not maintained for long, the boys seeming to lose away from home, Mooresville defeating them. Boyden did not break the jinx and Landis again came out victorious. After these opening games defeat was the only reward for hard practicing, long intercepted passes, and excellent blocking. There were five veterans who finished their playing on the gridiron for the YELLOW JACKET Team. They were: Captain Glenn Broome, Quarterback; Junior Smith, End; Albert Linn, Halfback; John Martin Cavin, Right Tackle, and Willie Troutman, Center. All of these men were mainstays of the team and will be greatly missed.

The highlights of the season were their victories over Concord, Granite Quarry, Mooresville, Lexington and China Grove. Captain Junior Smith led the scoring with 195 points, while Glenn Broome turned in a good performance with 107 points. Junior Smith, Albert Linn, Charlie Corriher and Glenn Broome are the graduating players. RESULTS OF SEASON Landis . . . 26—Kannapolis Y.M.C.A.

They reached their season’s peak when they defeated China Grove, Mooresville and Barium Springs. The excellent defensive guarding accounted for many of the victories.

After six years without a team, it was again organized in 1939 under the coaching of Mr. J. L. Jones. Interest has grown each year since 1939. No major league players have developed, but one of the most outstanding players was G. W. Wright who played professional ball for Landis in the Class D League. He showed great promise of advancement to higher baseball, but was interrupted by his enlistment in the service. Winston Rape, also, showed promise as a professional player. This year the team has just been organized as the annual goes to press. As yet no schedule has been arranged. In spite of the fact that many of last year’s first team graduated, many of the newcomers show promising signs of becoming first rate players.

CONCLUSION AT THE REVEILLE of the year we, the sleepy staff members were drafted to give marching orders to the production of the 43 Annual. Like sleepy soldiers we marched but slowly o ff to clean up the grounds, that is, to pick up ads. It took more than a bugle call, it took plodding from the colonel to get those ads. From taps to reveille it was, privates bring your camera; then !? why don’t you get more pictures? Slowly, slowly but surely ads, pictures and scripts joined the ever increasing band of raw ma- terial that must be sorted and filed, clipped and corrected. The great day of putting together was a grand parade of privates and sergeants, majors and colonels—of Lula Belle and Jackie of John Martin and Tommy. These soldiers and would-be officers worked hard for your pleasure . Let these pictures pass in grand review for pleasure and profit, memories and the good old days. Yellow ache A U tographs Lpu?
