And all I ask is a merry yarn from a lay ghing fellow-rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over. The schooners and the merry crews are laid away to rest, A little south the sunset in the Islands of the Blest. ROWAN PUBLIC LIBRARY SALISBURY,NC 3907815525 Dedccatiou MH. 5. 6. HASTY WE, THE SENIORS OF 1944, in searching our minds during these trying days for someone to dedicate this, our year book, need only to turn to our beloved county superintendent. Mr. Hasty has given his services from early manhood to educational ad- vancement of the youth of North Carolina. When the achievements for those who have contributed to the task for consolidation of schools are written in this state, his record -will head the list for this great work. With our sincere appreciation for his unfailing loyalty and interest in our school, we sincerely dedicate this volume of the YELLOW JACKET to Mr. S. G. Hasty, Superintendent of Rowan County Schools. We trust that this interest will continue and that he may contribute many more years of useful services to the schools of our county. T, F. Bostian Superintending Principal Landis District Erskine College, State College Bis, Degree e55AGe to the entor Gon THE ARCHITECT HAD HIS PLANS before him. He had dreamed of her great strength and beauty. The day had arrived for the workmen to lay down her keel. He watched closely every piece of materials that went into her as she took shape and at last she was launched. Indeed this was a great day for the young architect and the workmen. Their work was al- most completed and they were justly proud, for there she was, Proud Mistress of the Sea. Not so many years ago two architects (father and mother), stood and looked down at you in your crib. They had a vision of you growing into manhood and womanhood. Many builders have aided you along the way and I trust the faculty of Landis High School and myself can be added to this list and that we have helped build within you something that will last during your voyage on this earth. rc TITER woe ELLOW JACKET:-- 1944 PR a A At PE AE, d¢ INE, RANGEL First Row: H.

When steeper climbs or rougher roads The paths we go ascend, We may then look back burdened with loads And wish it were as then. The hours we spent of worry Or the hardest problems faced The hours will all seem merry And the problems all unbiased. Then life, may we enjoy more By looking back on high school days; In this joy, may our spirits soar And give courage to us on our ways.

YELLOW JACKET: : 1944 YELLOW JACKET: - 1944 SHIPS LUG UF CLASS OF 44 THE TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY OF August, 1940, the “Voyager” set sail with one hundred and thirty-six young and inexperienced crew members aboard. We were going to wear off that inexperience by having our first patty. It was given in Apprentice Seaman Frances Ivey’s cabin. We worked hard under the command of Johnny Williams, Jackie Taylor, Frances Ivey, and Lois Campbell. Valentine’s day came and we selected as our king and queen of hearts, Baxter Sechler and Thresa Thornburg. In the spring we had a big wiener roast on a deserted island which was fun for all. After four months’ clear sailing with one hundred crew members, now we started an- other struggle with our new commanders, Perry Wilson, Cora Belle Rymer, Margaret Shinn, and Johnny Williams. In December war started and it became rough sailing from there on. Despite the wat we had a very successful party in the ship's gymnasium. We felt that we were really old time sailors now, because we really knew our way about our ship. In August, with only ninety-two members, we started out with a new group of com- manders, Jenny Ruth Woody, Cora Belle Rymer, Louise Roseman, and Lois Camp- bell. In the fall we began our sale of stationery. The money was to go toward our banquet we were going to give to our upperseamen in the spring. We became very downhearted when we found that the shortages that the war had caused would prevent us from hay- ing our banquet. We tried to please our up- perseamen by having a prom. This was given to us by our “Admiral Grade Parents.” It was formal, the girls all looked lovely and the boys were handsome as could be. We all had a good time and all were tired when the ship’s bell rang out 24 o'clock. On March 19, several members of our crew gave us a grand performance in ‘“Who Killed Aunt Caroline,” under the direction of Admiral Inez Sturkey. Now that we have started out on the last knot of our long voyage, with fifty-seven crew members, we look back on the ap- prentice seamen as green, but we remember when we were on the same ship and we sym- pathize with them. We were very proud and dignified Cap- tains when we received our rings, although we had seen many like it, we were still proud of them and told everyone about them. We sold magazine subscriptions because we needed money for many things. Several members of our crew worked hard and gave us a grand performance of “Shoot the Works,’ under the direction of Admiral Mary Gladys Fisher. This year we had as our commanders, La- mar Dorton, Audrey Medlin, Ray Eddle- man, and Cora Belle Rymer. Admirals Mendenhall and Fisher picked a group of Captains to help with our YEL- LOW JACKET and we have worked hard to make it the best ever. We tried to-forget our school work for one night and we all went skating. After many bruises we all went to our cabins and tried to rest. (There were no bones broken, I don’t think.) Now that our shore is in sight, we hate to land. We have all had a swell time on our voyage, even though there were many that became seasick and didn’t manage to com- plete the voyage.

BOS Wale TAME (OMe ee, UP CaM Eel WE’RE SHOVING OFF NoW— Anchors Aweigh. We are on the ship “Voyager.” Off we go to see what the future has held for our classmates of 44. The year 1954, the time January, Leaving from New York we wave good- bye to the Statue of Liberty. After being on the water for many hours we see the captain of the ship coming toward us, who is none other than Larry Beaver. Among the other sailors on the ship we meet Ray- mond Sutton and Billie Beaver. On the third day out we arrive at Argen- tina. We stayed there overnight at the famous “‘Eddleman” Hotel, owned by Ray Eddleman, Jr., and the manager being Myron Troutman. The next day we went to a tes- taurant for breakfast and found our class- mates Louise Sloop and Althenia Bostian as Owners. After leaving Argentina we resumed our journey. In March we arrived on the Cali- fornia coast. Going ashore we went to a famous resort where we could swim, dance, and enjoy sports. We sat at a side table and watched the famous’ dance team who was none Other than Johnnie Williams and Evelyn Sanders. After greeting our friends we went in swimming and watched the nationally known diver, Gilreath Davis. On our third day in California we started a trip to Hollywood to see if any of our classmates had chosen acting as a career. On the way we collided with another car and all of us were taken to the hospital. Driving the ambulance was Richard London. After Drs. Evelyn Petrea and Leonard Linn had seen that we were not hurt we were released. Driving, we passed many homes, and was not surprised to see Bonnie Poarch and W1l- liam Parks Beaver cleaning the yard of their new home. After talking to them we te- sumed our trip to Hollywood. Upon our arrival we went to the Stage Door Canteen where we saw Lillian Linker, Frances Poteat and Juanita Wright at their old job. After leaving there we went to a country home owned by Lavenia Eddleman and Pearl Holshouser. Near the home was a famous school for girls and among the teachers were Ophelia Galloway, Allie Mae Erwin, and Willie Strickland. From there we went to the studios. Among the great stars were Lois Campbell and Charlie Ray Marshall. Hattie Alley was working in the cowboy pictures with Roy Rogers. [rances Ivey had won her second Academy Award as a Veronica Lake. Among the famous comedi- ans were Harold Sechler and Glenn Funder- burke. After staying in California for a week we continued our journey and sailed to Hawai. We arrived there early in the morn- ing and we were all tired and hungry. We went ashore and were having a large feast when none other than Bessie Overcash and Gene Corriher invited us to join them. After the feast Bessie, Gene, and their friends, Helen Leazer and Margaret Troutman showed us around the beautiful island. We were told that an airplane view of the island was very beautiful so we started out to find a plane. Boarding the plane we were sur- prised to see Asbury Harkey as pilot and Hoyle Garver as co-pilot. After sitting back in our seats the hostess brought us coffee and cakes. She was none other than our own Faye Propst. In about an hour we were back on the ground and from there we went to a big pineapple plantation. The prosperous owner, Lamar Dorton, and working with him was Marie Lipe and Phyllis Owens. From there we went to the School of Out- standing Speakers where we found Ida B. YELLOW JACKET: -: 1944 YELLOW JACKET--- 1944 Wilhelm and Evelyn Brackett still talking. Among the girls who were working in offices in New York were Mary Sue Sechler and Marjorie Patterson. After seeing New York we went back to our ship and sailed to Wilmington, N. C. Going ashore we de- cided to visit a few of the high schools to recall our old school days. We went to the gymnasium where we saw Hazel Correll and Zelia Thomas coaching the girls in basket- ball, and among the teachers there we saw Veta Karriker and Lucille Harris, who had overcome their bashfulness. Then we decided to see if we could see - the married members of our class. We saw Sarah Weast—in her dream home. Marvin had returned and still with Sarah we found Lucille Davis who lives next door and was also married. Going on we saw Nevonne Carter Wensil who had a home of her own too. Startled to find we had seen all of our old classmates of °44, we returned to the ship. Sailing back to New York we secretly wished all our classmates success forever. In August we were back in New York from where we had started. Reluctantly we left the ship to take our places in the new world that had unfolded before us. And leaving behind the wonderful “Voyager” which had enabled us to see our classmates once more. SARAH WEAST, BONNIE POARCH, Prophets.

F. Bostian. More games were played this year than ever before. The small Landis team went up against some of the strongest teams in the state. The biggest thrill of the season came in the first game with Mooresville, a strong passing and ground attack upset the ‘Blue Devils.” Captain Kyle Corriher was the offensive and defensive star of the team. Seaman Johnny Williams on the passing end and Seaman William Roberts of Holy Cross, on the receiving end formed a strong threat. The tackle positions were ably held down by Wil- liam Beaver and Jerry Pless. In the center of the forward wall were guards Asbury Harkey and Ralph Dickson. The center was Herman Enochs. Leonard Linn, Archie Yates, and Paul Dayvault always did their part. Despite many injuries the Landis team played good games against Mooresville, Badin, Concord ‘‘B,” China Grove, and Barium Springs. YELLOW JACKET: -- 1944 BUYS BASKETBALL OUR MEN ON THE VOYAGER were very successful in basketball this year. The most exciting of these games were the ones with China Grove, Winecoff, Mooresville, Kannapolis, and also in the Mid- Piedmont Tournament. Our boys were coached by Admiral H. A. McCreary, who gave the boys what it takes to be good -sgamen. Captain Lamar Dorton, leading his men to a successful battle and came out scoring 325 points with our other seamen also scoring many points. Our voyaging seamen who will return to shore and who will leave our team are: Captain Lamar Dorton, Johnny Williams, Leonard Linn, Charlie Ray Marshall, and William Parks Beaver.
