The PILOT FOR 1939 VOL. HI Published by SENIOR CLASS LEAKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL The PILOT FOR 1939 VOL. Ill Published by SENIOR CLASS LEAKSVIEEE HIGH SCHOOL The PILOT FOREWORD With the publication of The Pilot” by the class of 1939, the Leaksville High School presents its third yearbook. This is a continuation of the idea, begun in 1937, of publishing an- nually a volume summarizing the four years’ work of the graduating class and giving honorable mention to the other three classes, the clubs, and the organizations that make up our school. This book has two purposes: first, to preserve for our friends a record of school activities; second, to give to the 1939 graduating class a concrete memory of the many happy days they spent in Leaksville High. We, the class of 1939, offer you this yearbook, and it is our sincere hope that it will be enjoyed by the class and their many friends.

Fearlessly they shouldered their burdens and plunged forward. They were happy, so happy, in fact, that their teachers some- times had difficulty in keeping their joy silent. After several months of hard study they elected as their president Conrad Shinn, who proved himself to be a capable leader. Despite the fact that there is a big jump from the grammar grades to high school, no subject except Latin gave them any trouble. They surmounted all other obstacles with ease and soon found their first year in high school at an end. Only one hundred and eighty-six members of the class returned to resume their studies in the fall of 1936. Again they needed a leader and this time Margaret Little was chosen to be the chief executive of the class. This year many girls of the class became Home Economics students and both the girls and boys became active in the various clubs and organizations. Some even showed promise of becoming leading athletes in the school. Caesar again counted his annual toll and left many stranded by the wayside. As the year rapidly drew to a finish every member felt himself to be a veteran in the quest for education. When the class returned to school in the fall of 1937, it found that still more of its members had dropped from the ranks. Only one hundred and fifty-nine of the original number remained. This year turned out to be a year in which everyone had to work hard, but yet it was full of fun and play. The president of the class was Lee Siler, who in his efficient manner supervised one of the best Junior-Senior banquets ever ' given in Leaksville High School. The class also became more active in school activities, making several valuable contributions to the athletic teams. The whole class experienced a happy and successful year. It had been such a happy year that everyone was somewhat sad when Commencement rolled around bringing an end to the year. In September, 193 8, one hundred and thirty-seven returned to enjoy the fruits of their three years of labor. These few who were left were dignified Seniors and they were determined to achieve even greater things. Under the leadership of John Hodges they forged on into the realms of knowledge. The class rings arrived in January and they further strengthened the bond that bound the Seniors to dear old Leaksville High. In March Conrad Shinn was elected Editor-in-Chief of the Annual and immediately the class was plunged into the preparation of their yearbook. At the same time the class began looking forward to and making plans for their Commencement. Thus comes to an end their experiences in high school. The way was sometimes rocky and steep, but yet every member of the class of 1939 will always remember these years in Leaksville High as the happiest years in his life. 1 Kenneth Thomas. -4 25 }■ •- Belk-Cline Company The PILOT VALEDICTORY Fellow classmates, we have come to the end of our high school days and for many of us it will the last time we shall be together. Whether we go or stay, we shall all find abundant cause to remember our school as a place of joy and achievement. The events of today and the days past will always be recalled with pride and per- haps pleasure. As the old folks recall days of their youth, so will we think of these days when we rest from the burden and heat of our later lives. Then little incidents, which seem not worth mentioning today, will take on a new light and will possess a greater interest and linger in our imagination. We do not forget the debt of gratitude to our parents and friends who have stood by us through these years of preparation. They have made the burden lighter by giving good advice and by sympathizing with us. To our parents we probably owe an even greater debt, for they have sacrificed that we might have a chance to account for ourselves in this struggle to rise above difficulty. It is our hope that we may make their dreams come true by being students of high ambitions. Classmates, with these commencement exercises we close a period of our lives which I hope has been one of happiness and achievement. Soon we will go away from here never again to be united in the schoolroom. When we think of the past months and years, those seemingly difficult assignments, do they not seem a pleasure and an opportunity rather than work? We are under the spell of two great forces: memory and hope. Of memory, we look back over our lives as students which for the most part, have been happy ones and ones which will always be remembered. Of hope, we stand questioning our own future. As we part, our future is in our own hands; not by accident or circumstances will we fail or succeed. I can wish nothing higher or happier for us than that through our lives, in joy and sorrow, in brightest sunshine and deepest shadows, there may remain a consciousness of a duty well performed and of a life faithfully lived. In the hope of such a future and with an unfailing affectionate remembrance for all, I bid you good-bye. Conrad Shinn. -•«§{ 26 } °- O’MANSKY BROTHERS The PILOT Ve IP SALUTATORY Classmates and Friends: We have come to an important occasion in the lives of the members of this Senior Class. It is an occasion which to us is both sad and joyful — sad because we realize this class of ’39 will part never to meet again under the same conditions — joyful because we have achieved, at last, that which we have worked for so long. We are opening a new book in our lives — one whose pages will be filled by our deeds and undertakings of tomorrow. We are glad that with us are parents, teachers, and friends to whom we owe so much. We wish to take you with us as we review the joys, sorrows, misfor- tunes, and comedies of our high school days and also as we look forward into the future. We appr eciate your presence on our graduation night. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you in the name of the class of ’39 to this occasion which we have long anticipated. WELCOME! Marion Shumate. {27fc— GRAND THEATER Tri-City’s Show Parlor on the Boulevard — Phone 413 The PILOT PROPHECY A page from my Diary: May, 1950. Dear Diary: This beautiful spring morning takes me back to that day eleven years ago when we seniors of Leaksville High School left its doors forever with mingled feelings in our hearts. The dominant feeling, however, was sadness, because we all realized that once these doors closed behind us we would never again know the intimacy, the joys, and sorrows we had mutually shared during our school days. We also experienced gladness in the knowledge that we were young and had our lives before us. Today the graduates of the year 1939 are scattered throughout the world and their occupations are widely diversified. Conrad Shinn has lived up to our belief that he would climb to the top of whatever profession he chose. He is now chief window-washer of the Empire State Building. He has certainly soared to the heights. Marion Shumate is private secretary to Kenneth Thomas, who is Secretary of War, and they say she is more beautiful than ever. You don’t suppose this could be the reason for the harmony between the United States and other countries, do you? Helon Sherron is a professor of biology, and after several years of research has completed her book Lizards, Their Value and Habits”. The photographs used to illustrate this book were supplied by Guerrant Norman. I know you remember Helen Grogan, Marion Smith, Olive Parker, and Violet Talbert. Well, get set for a shock, hold on to your hats, etc. — they are missionaries in wildest Africa. No, I’m not kidding; it’s really true. Doris Stephens and Evenor MacBride are married now and are living in a cosy little cottage with roses” ’round the door. It is really touching to see how blissful they are. Gordon Pittendreigh, Jack Houts, James Holmes, and Edith Uden have formed a band with Nannie Mae Grogan as the vocalist. The last I heard of them they were touring New York. One day they went up Park Avenue, and due to the fact that it was a lovely day and everyone was in a good humor several coins fell at their feet instead of the customary pots and rolling pins around their heads. Jack still insists a monkey would help business no end. You wouldn’t recognize Lee Siler. He has had all his curls cut off and parts his hair in the middle. He and another famous movie actor, Robert McIntosh, agree that ladies prefer the heroes of the cinema to have sleek sophistication. I was sailing around the bay several weeks ago and saw a beautiful yacht swaying at anchor, and whom should I see sitting nonchalantly in the bow but Bill Dunn and Bruce Kessler! I was utterly speechless! But several days later I happened to see the other side of the boat and on it in huge red letters was painted Once Around the Bay— 25c”. I also found out that John Hodges was the owner of the boat. There was a notice in the New York Times yesterday that Jane Stuart Golden, the famous artist, and Elizabeth Jones, the renowned poet, are resting for the summer on the Lone Star Dude Ranch. James Dehart and Joe Doyle, the owners of the ranch, told the press that these two glamorous ladies are disrupting the entire system of the ranch. No doubt! Ann Koontz is tight-rope tap-dancing in the Edwards and Robinson Circus. Margaret Fulcher is with her constantly, usually with three or four life insurance policies in her hand. Two other famous graduates of ’3 9 are Dorothy Matthews and Hugh Tyner, great physicians in Chicago. Hugh finally conquered his laziness and settled down to work. No, of course, I’m not fibbing! Harold Carter and Hazel Blackburn are astronomers. Isn’t that what you call people who study the moon and the stars? This has been a red letter day in my life because I have found out what so many of my old class- mates are doing. I have always wanted to know what happened to them and the wish has been granted to some extent. I am sure that wherever the rest of the seniors of 1939 are they are equally as successful as the ones I have written about in my diary today. Mildred Dellinger. -• •{ 28 Wilson Beauty Shop The PILOT VSIP 3IGV STATISTICS After four years of extensive research the Senior Class of 1939 has compiled the following statistics which we submit to the public. They are neither startling nor unusual in anyway, but fairly represent our class in its own estimation. From the smallest babe in arms to the oldest veteran in the tri-cities we know you will take your hat off to the best citizen, Marion Shumate. Jeep” Holmes, one of our baseball players, received the title of the best-looking boy. When anyone feels down and out, just visit Ernestine Cox the friendliest or Lawrence Motley whose jolly smile and mischievous eyes would take the grumpiness out of anyone. Or if you prefer to laugh out loud just pay our class comedian Bruce Kessler a call, and we guarantee a laugh that is not forced. To all the mothers we introduce the class baby, Dorothy Matthews, in hopes that someone will look after her until she grows up. To Violet Talbert we give the honor of being the most talkative, but this nomination is counter- acted with the honor of possessing the best school spirit. Since James Hill is so very quiet we pay special tribute to him by suggesting that some one give him a pair of crepe-bottom shoes. The best-dressed girl, Hazel Blackburn, and the best-dressed boy, Billy Dunn, should put heads together and be the best-dressed couple in town. Harold Edwards, the most original, should be able to originate an easier way to get geometry”, says Hugh Tyner, the laziest. Honestly, we feel that John Hodges, the most dependable, can be depended upon to do most any work. He has carried a load on his shoulders as president of our class, and to him we are truly grateful. Ann Koontz, although very little, has served the class as an excellent secretary. We wonder if Julius Brumbeloe, our vice-president, will be as inquisitive in life as he is in literature class. All in all our class officers were well chosen. Our valedictorian, Conrad Shinn, is the most promising, and if he continues as he has started, he will fulfill this indeed. It was a close race between Lee Siler and Elliott Ivie for the most ambitious, Lee finally winning by a nose. Our most versatile member is a girl, Caroline Mabe, which is as we think it should be. Now we come to the unofficial superlatives. Now don’t take this too hard, but we really think Guerrant Norman should have gotten the most dependable. The title of the biggest case should go to Lucinda Leffew and Alvis Kellam. In our estimation, Harold Marlow is the brains of the Senior Class”. Don’t mention this to a soul, but the title of the dancing doll should have gone to Louise Robertson. Edith Uden thinks that Gordon Pittendreigh should be called the ladies’ man. Believe it or not but the title of the quietest should go to Ellen Ray Hall. This is a fact Booker Dillard is known as the best driver. We, the class of 1939, have tried to make these four years of high school happy and successful ones. We are leaving a record that has only a few black pages, which we trust will be erased and forgotten in the course of years. The world calls, and we are going with hearts determined, to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” Hazel Cochrane. -4 29 4 - Goldston Motor Express The PILOT 3WV LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1939 of Leaksville High School, State of North Carolina, County of Rockingham, Town of Leaksville, U. S. A., realizing that the end of our existence in high school must come, bequeath the possessions that are most prized by us, to those who seem most deserving. 1. Lee Siler wills his luxurious curly hair and his power over women to Francis Newman, provided Francis doesn’t break too many hearts. 2. To Betty Kirkpatrick goes Ann Koontz’s daintiness. We trust good care will be taken of it. 3. Hugh Tyner has finally been persuaded to leave his unusual ability at French and his fine attendance record to Sarah Hopper. 4. John Hodges bequeaths his executive ability to Livingston Jones. 5. Kenneth Thomas yields his secret of winning Mr. Weatherly’s favor to Bill Combs. 6. Violet Talbert passes her quietness to Elizabeth Gordon. 7. With many sighs and tears Jo Eddy Hawkins wills her power over men to Jean Dickinson. 8. Charles Bell will be the beneficiary of Elliott Ivie’s ability to save money. We have heard that he needs it. 9. Following the usual custom, we leave to the Junior Class Mr. Manuel, with the provision that he receives good treatment. 10. All forgotten wads of chewing gum left under the auditorium seats, desks, and banisters we will to the Sophomore Class. 11. To Ernest Easely goes Lawrence Motley’s honor roll grades and spelling ability. 12. To Miss Puett the sum of twenty-five cents for the purchase of a yard-stick. 13. Charlotte Richardson gives her friendly disposition to the little girl with a smile for everyone, Elaine Zigler. 14. Julius Brumbeloe and Marion Smith leave their place of love-birds to any couple in the Junior Class who meets the requirements. 1 5. Cora Ann Trogdon is to receive all of Helen Grogan’s tight dresses. In our humble opinion these will be very becoming to her. 16. Bruce Kessler’s frequent wisecracks shall be bestowed upon Robert Kendrick. A very wise choice. 17. Robert McIntosh, otherwise known as Robert Taylor, with farewell glances announces that Thomas Price shall receive his dignity. It has been hinted that Thomas needs it badly. 18. Ben Trotter leaves his trait of never being seen or heard to Virginia Gilley. 19. Thinking Garvin Sutliff by far too small, Gordon Pittendreigh gladly bequeaths some of his great build to him. 20. Grace Johnson, tiring of her red hair, wills it to Vivian Rakestraw. 21. To the faculty we leave our heart-felt thanks for the assistance they have given us. To Mr. Weatherly, our principal, we extend our gratitude for his efforts to guide us through our high school days. 22. We leave our rooms, our desks, our privileges, and our dignity to the Juniors provided they are well cared for. Signed, sealed, and declared by the Senior Class of 1939 to be our last will and testament in the presence of us who do, thereto, subscribe our names.

Time was spent in laying the foundation for future teams and though the record of the 1939 aggregation was not impressive, it gave promise for the future. Final results show a total of two games won, two tied, and five lost. 44 )§•— Mr. E. D.

One team, Walnut Cove, was able to win one game of two with the fast-breaking Devilmen. Led by the outstanding play of Buddy” Hawkins, both offensively and defensively, and the accurate shooting of Lawrence Clark, the Leaksville team of 1939 made a record that is unequalled. -4 45 Mr. Karl Bishopric TAe PILOT GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM OF ’38-’39 Rovie Angell Miss Catherine Hupman Dorothy Matthews and Kathleen Boone 0 Captains PLAYERS Guards: Matthews, Boone, McBride, Stultz, Knight, and Talbert.
