Dying of curiosity, we came to a screeching halt and all got out to see what this “trick” was. Suddenly a door burst open! Imagine our sur- prise when Flash Gordon stepped out and beckoned to us. Frightfully we approached him and then he spoke, “Do not be afraid of my fly- . Ing saucer—your people have seen many. You have been chosen to take a trip into the future.” As we cautiously climbed into this ultra-modern atomic space ship, we were asked what we want- ed to see most. We replied that we would like to see what our fellow students of “48 would be doing in ten years. A sudden roar was heard—then we were of|—destination 1958. Prof. Thomas Barnett Linn, a noted scientist of the world has re- cently sent radar signals to the sun and has received a very important message. “Nuts”’. In the medical world Dr. Doris Plaster has found a sure cure for cancer which is much cheaper than Radium. Of course you try it at your own risk, for she has a sign “Not responsible for accidents.” Politics takes us to Washington, D. C., where we find Paul Sweatt as the President of the United States. His greatest joy is presiding over Congress with his “Perfect Parlia- mentary Procedure”. Prominent +20+ members of his cabinet are (1) Jim Corriher—Secretary of Agriculture. (2) Ernest Blackwelder—Secretary of Commerce. (3) Ruth Livingston —Secretary of Interior. Louise Moss has risen to great fame in the Judicial world as the first woman Chief Justice. Now, New York—the city of our dreams—calls and we find many of our old classmates here. Gordon Beaver is celebrating his 50th appearance at Carnegie Hall. Now he has composed a song called “Don’t Be a Drip—Use My Um- brella. Mrs. William Wallace Beaver (Litaker) is now appearing at the Metropolitan Opera House as So- prano Soloist. Larry Beaver who has recently taken over the Powers Modeling Agency, is now featuring the debut of his most beautiful and glamorous model—Miss Annie Smith. Before taking this position, Miss Smith was selected as “Miss Eyeful For All Baldheaded Men Over 97”. Peggy Correll owns a very mod- ern beauty shop on Fifth Avenue. “Correll’s Curls For Girls”. Her capable assistants are none other than Rachel Deal and Margene Weatherman. Raymond Sechler the noted Dress Designer who has just returned from Paris, the world’s Fashion Center, has announced that he is going to promote the new atomic fashions. His charming wife is none other than Pauline Overcash. Allan Smith and Albert Coone, the foremost comedians of modern television are following the foot- steps of Bob Hope and Red Skel- ton. Eleanor Cavin, the leading lady poet of the world has just completed her wonderful book of ditties for kiddies called, “You Can Stop Now, Mama—l1l Go To Sleep”. Linnie Campbell, Darthy Starnes, Myrtle Brawley and Evelyn Adams are very successful sales ladies at Sak’s Fifth Avenue. Jack Bost is President of the United Shipbuilders of America. He leads the list of the 10 best dressed men in the United States. In Hollywood—Betty Lee Over- cash and Thelma Sloan have added another Nite Club to their other famous establishments. Billy Foutz, the American co- ed’s favorite Movie Lover who re- cently starred in “Look in the Mirror, Honey, Your Lipstick is Smeared”, had as his leading lady “Miss America of 1956’, the extre- mely beautiful Miss Doris Karriker, The Producer of the picture is Miss Evelyn Griffin, who had become famous through recent works at M. G. M. Mary Frances Weddington is now head nurse at Charlotte Me- morial Hospital. Dorothy Upright is dietitian in the cafeteria at Landis High School. P.-S. They still serve cabbage. Sue Corriher is now the Editor of a newspaper, but at night she teaches square dancing at her studio. Johnny Dayvault owns a fleet of 100,000 helicopters in which he has established a nationwide network of taxis—He guarantees courteous and careful drivers of whom the most outstanding are Virginia Mc- Laughlin and Frances Bost. +21+ The Bost Textile works which are now flourshing in Enochyille, N. C. are owned by Mr. Floyd Bost. His general manager, a graduate from Duke University, is William Dead- mon. Personal secretaries to these two executives are Colleen Hol- shouser and Nancy Smith. In the Sports World we find Hay- den (Buddy) Thomas, ALL AMER- ICAN WAY BACK FOR 1957, starring with Bobby (I got it) Butts at Notre Dame. These two are better known as the aerial twins. Red Yates is the star forward on the men’s championship basketball team of the world. Hoyle Sullivan and Billy Kimball now operate a chain of Department Stores. The home office being in downtown Landis. Deacon Efird and Trimmy Shoe- maker now operate a great Billiards Parlor in Landis, nicknamed “‘Lan- dis Training School”. Miss Donna Jane Bost who was “Miss Secretary of ’56” was recent- ly elected the president of the Secre- taries’ Union. Jack Dayvault is now a famous mortician with the million dollar slogan “Try Our Lay Away Plan”. After all this excitement we start back to Dear Old Landis when, to our surprise, we see a group of buildings before us. The sign out in front says “Russell’s Restful Re- treat” —OH NO—Jo Russell is director of an insane asylum and with this crazy note we leave you hoping that your future will succeed your highest dreams. PROPHETS: Jack Dayvault Jo Russell Jim Corriher County of Rowan, Town of Landis, State of North Carolina. We, the graduating class of Lan- dis High School of the year of 1948, being in sound mind and of a gen- erous nature, do hereby, in a mo- ment of weakness, bequeath to our less fortunate friends our most valued possessions in this, our Last Will and Testament.

No one knows how handy those schedules Mr. Bostian and Mr. McCreary fixed out for us were or how much they were used unless by coincidence you happened to see one of the freshmen scanning the schedule comparing it with a friend and then rushing to class. We swelled with pride when at last after eight years we too could have class officers and elected Bobby Coffee president, Lenore McLauch- lin vice-president, Dot Christopher secretary, and Bill Wilhelm treas- urer. We soon proved you can’t keep a good class down. For ex- ample the three B’s (Bob C., Bill W., and Buddy T.) made the basket- ball, football, and baseball team. Red, Plaster, and Jo made the girls’ basketball team. We also won the class basketball tournament. We continued to shine when at com- mencement Jo Russell won the science award and Annie Smith the scholarship award. Our advisors who helped us a lot were Mrs. Leafe, Mrs. Harris, Miss Moore, and Miss Goodman. +B + We retired for the summer and returned the following fall ninety- two strong as silly sophomores liv- ing up to the name. One night we had a hayride and naturally all the girls wore blue jeans but imagine everyone's surprise when next day and for several weeks the girls con- tinued to wear them. We became serious long enough to elect Jo Rus- sell president, Bobby Cross vice- president, and Paul Sweatt secretary and treasurer. Then® we jumped from one event right into anotlier with never a dull moment. Oufpride knew no bounds when Paul Sweatt won the oratorical contest. Miss Glenn and Mrs. Linn showed their metal when they successfully pre- sented the Halloween Carnival with a “Negro Minstrel’. Imagine our surprise when we discovered we had a talented quartet which was none other than Bobby Butts, Herman Billings, Eddie Ray McLain, and Earl Blackwelder. Our play “Don’t Také My Penny” was a great suc- cess. Our fun was blighted by the death of our classmate Billy Freeze. Even though we didn’t have com- mencement exercises we made up for it by having a tenth and eleventh erade banquet. To top this our grade parents gave us a prom at which we learned the art of square dancing. We took the cup for winners of field day this year. Our football players also beat China Grove this year for the first time in sixteen years. Marriages and other reasons cut the number of our class to sixty- three but we stuck in there. Our class officers this year were Paul Sweatt, president, Jo Russell, vice-president, Billy Wilhelm, sec- retary, and Tom Linn, treasurer. I’m sure none of us will ever forget Miss Wallace and the Halloween Carnival or Mrs. Leafe and the play “Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost’. This play was very successful, pre- sented at three different schools and twice at Landis. The seniors said so and we couldn’t help but agree that we had the best banquet ever, with a real live orchestra, the first in the history of Landis High. At first everyone just stood and looked but pretty soon everyone was on the floor even if we weren’t a second Fred Astaire I believe we enjoyed dancing as much as he does that night. Incidentally _ practically For several weeks all the girls could talk everyone went in couples. about was the prom and what they were to wear (of course it was to be formal). At last the night came, all the girls looked lovely in their even- ing dresses but horror of horrors the boys had on sweat shirts, but we jolly juniors laughed this off and had a wonderful time. We weren’t as wacky as we seemed for at com- Se mencement Jack Dayvault won the band award and Doris Plaster won the award for the most athletic girl. Our baseball team won the state championship. The class again won out at field day. Then we bid the seniors good-by and prepared to take their places. Again marriages and other in- took toll of our leaving us only fifty-three dignified cidents number seniors. This did not dampen our spirit however and we continued to strive toward our goal. Our chief strivers being President Doris Plas- ter, Vice-President Jim Corriher, Secretary Louise Moss, Treasurer Tom Linn. It seems every year we receive some blow. This year one of our advisors Mrs. Ralph Linn had to resign due to sickness in the home. But we still had Miss Barrier who is particularly good with our year book. Mrs. Dunn took Mrs. Linn’s place. Despite the fact that most everyone expected the football team to be weak this year they had the most successful year in the history of Landis High, losing only one game. At last our caps and gowns came and commencement. We now go out into the world hoping, to con- tinue our good record. Historians— Annie Smith Frances Yates Jack Bost CLASS POEM of 46 We Can, We Will Today were completing only one short mile Of the great long highway of life. We've got a good start, yet we'll have to part, For the way is filled with strife, And some must fall by the wayside, As if pierced in the heart with a knife. It’s been downhill most all of the way By the help of our friends so dear, By the help of our school, and the golden rule, And the teachers who've stood by us here. But we've gained from them our weapons, Which gives us no need to fear. Our weapons are both honesty and truth, We'll carry them always with pride And the knowledge we know, will help us to go, Up the tough grades with a glide. And the words of our God we'll remember To keep us on the right side. Yes, we'll come to side roads and beautiful lanes And mountains of wearisome height, But the highway winds on, the day’s almost gone, And we'll be caught by the night But the courage you gave us will lead us And turn all the darkness to light. Today! Now! The dawn breaks upon us, We see dead ahead a great hill. Yet we Can't stop, we Must clear the top And that Can't be done standing still. So let’s begin the climb without waiting And remember We Can If We Will. Poet: LoutsE Moss 271 +2Q+ Pst +29 + SUPERLATIVES 1. Best-All-Around: Jack Dayvault, Doris Plaster. 4.

When the final blast of the referee’s whistle ended the game between the Yellow Jackets and Jackson Training School, it also ended the greatest gridiron year in the history of Landis High School. After many hot afternoons of strenuous practice and drilling under the watchful eye of our coach, Mr. Hamrick, to whom our excellent record is attributed, we got underway by tying a strong Hartsell eleven by a score of 7-7. Then we downed Coolee- mee by the score of 13-7. Next came Winecoff, whom the Jackets defeated to the tune of 18-0. Then came the game against the strongest foe for the Jackets, during the season, Boonesville. The game was hard fought throughout and they emerged with a tie, much to their surprise. The score 18-18. Then came our only disaster of the season when we lost to Badin 13-7. After this the boys tightened down to trounce Cleveland 45-0, Mocksville 33-6, and Jackson Training School 45-0. This year proved to be one of our greatest years, with a swell group of cheerleaders and enthusiastic fans.
