X Q- f 1 I ' 1 T lk lg I-:J,.r A, , I bent low over my work, disregarding everything else that occurred in the room. So engrossed in my work was I that I failed to hear the sound of approaching footsteps from behind. My shaking hand paused over the test tube with a distinct air of dramatic finality. My hand was shaking not be- cause of my age iwhich happened to be 273, or not because I had had a little too much, but the chemical in that one test tube represented five years of hard and tiresome research and work in the chemical laboratory of Millsapps University. My hand slowly started to tilt forward, and the liquid crawled searchingly up the side of the tube. Suddenly a heavy hand swiftly lowered itself upon my shoulder with such force that I pitched forward over the worktable. I turned and raised my clenched fist to strike the infidel who dared to enter my place of work, unannounced, but I halted its forward progress as I saw the grinning face of Reverend William Everhart beaming down on me. After that one Heeting glance I disregarded all of his well-meant apologies and turned fearfully to look at my test tube. To my surprise I found that it had spilled only a small portion of its contents. I breathed a sigh of great relief and con- descended to look once more at my visitor. One look at that smiling, honest face melted all of the anger that had grown inside me. At that moment I fully understood why Reverend Everhart had been so successful in his Evangelistic work. How could anyone resist that disarming smile and those kindly, shining eyes? We exchanged the usual greetings, and I once more turned to my work. I again raised the precious test tube over the beaker. As I poured, I heard Reverend Everhart . tts'-a gwift prayer of deliverance in case of the explosion which he felt sure would come. A thick black column of choking smoke arose from within the depths of the tube. The following explosion sent. me and my head reeling. I caught a fleeting glance of the Reverend swiftly descending upon mg irom the chandelier above. I tried vainly to remove myself from the spot, but the force of gravity von him was greater than my forward propulsion. As a result I remember nothing of what happened in Millsapps for the next few hours. Never had the birds sung so sweetly or the stars shone so brightly. I slowly stood up and shook my aching head. I looked around and found, to my utmost surprise, that I was in the center of a large group of beautiful buildings. An imposing sign caught my wandering eye. I read Raleigh Worlgs 'Fair. I spied a man coming towards me, a vaguely familiar man from that distance. It was everend Everhart. I could not und stand how he happened to be here ifor that matter I couldn't understand my being here eit rl, .but I .accepted what my eyes showed me. He kindly consented to show me around the Fair. i , ' pp. We entered the huge office building first, I aid Morgan, the great steel magnate, stopped talk- ing to the oil contractor, Jurl Penniger, , an ' 1 rg e briskly forward. As the manager of the Fair he officially welcomed us. In his husky barltonelvoi , he called his assistant, Billy Walser, and told him to conduct us on a tour of the buildirwe. 'As we passed down the large marble halls we recognized several faces of the office force. Ruth bb, Betty Jean Myers, Mildred LOIJD, Phylis Darr, Essie Hoyle, Dorothy Link, and Pearlene Byrd, all' secretaries, cordially exchanged our greetings. Having an insatible curiosity we asked many questions Cprobably very stupid ones for we knew little about business transactionsb. The very first door that we opened revealed those two brilliant architects, Harold Sink ihusband of the famous Council on Foods president, the former Anne Crowell! and Donald Winecoff, busily engaged at designing a new wing for the building. Don's wife was there whom you all know as Mrs. Winecoff. The next door uncovered electricians Jake Wilson, John Conrad, and Benny Lopp hard at work trying to repair a burnt out light bulb. We were quickly thrown out of the next room, for we had spoiled Louise Leonard's prize Films of million- aire Christine Auman and beautician Colleen Murphy on a plane bound for Europe piloted by Vernon Jordan. Vernon is the best pilot of Central Airlines, and he is employed mostly in flying diplomats and other important people. The last door opened disclosed the man in charge of employment, Charles Marble, talking to business manager, Robert Lee Leonard, Jr. On the way out we saw Jacqueline Jones, Jewel Shaw, Angelene Gobble, and Evelyn Russell busy taking dictations from thelgiead secretaries, Jeanne Moore and Peggy Marley. Once outside we headed for the medical bui ing. ' Just outside the door Reverend Everhart felt a huge, powerful hand Hop down on his shoulder. He jerked around to find himself staring into the face of that second Dick Tracy, James Styers. He instantly realized his mistake for he quickly loosened his iron grip only to transfer it to me. He was on the trail of a desperate criminal and had been attracted by my dangerous looks, so he had come over to investigate Conly he had hit the wrong shoulderj. After we explained that I was not the man he had seen at the State Pen Knot Penn State! last month, the great detective left and padded softly away on his flat feet. Reverend Everhart espied two pairs of shoes sticking out from under a car, and we went over to investigate. Paul Agner and Bobby Newsome stuck their grease covered countenances out from under the car and smiled. They were repairing a smashed base on daredevil driver Billy Lee Everhart's car. Bryce Haynes, the car salesman, came up, and as we left we heard him trying to interest Billy Lee in one of his latest and fastest models. We were stopped on the steps of the medical building by Fay Ann Wrenn while she tried to interest us in some of the im- plements that she sold. I went away the proud owner of a new vacuum cleaner, and Reverend Ever- hart had a beautiful electric toaster. We were greeted at the medical building by the superintendent of nurses, Adele Holma Adele no i huge told us to wait for a few minutes while she called us a guide. While waiting, I plaque on the wall. It had written on it all the names of the nurses that worked in th, , Ailding. Betty Blackwelder, Jackie Rose, Jacqueline Curtis, Patty Sue Nance, Ramona Shaw, Billie Wih , Peale Mae Carter. Hazel White, Helen Owens, Elnita Skipper, and Juanita Hefner were the names that we recognized. We were surprised to learn, that Mildred Lindsey was to be our guide. Mildred is one of the most successful and well known nurses infthe United States today. She graduated from Vassar and took an internship at the Charlotte Hospital. We were first taken to the room that showed us most of the new medical devices. Dr. Roy Shep ertig one of the most brilliant medical minds of today, was responsible for quite a few of these new devises. A glass paneled door showed technician Martha Scarborough working in the Laboratory. T e operating room was the next place that we went to. Here, from behind glass windows, we saw an operation lone of the most delicate of its kind! taking place in this most modern of operating rooms. A group of distinguished medical men: namely, Jack Farmer, Edna Mae Brinkley, and Donald Roll1ns were standing around watching and taking notes on the technique of William Grant Raker, Jr. The attending Nurses were Pauline Tussey, Doris Wood, Louise Hardister, Betty Walser, Martha Miller, and Maxine Thompson. Standing next to me was Mr. Raker's wife, the former Martha Brannock. She stood there watching her husband with admiration written all over her face. We saw many more things of great interest in the medical building. One of these things was a beautiful display on the modern preservation of foods under the able direction of Dr. Robert A. Team, and Nurse Jean Coggins. flf I left that last comma out 16 Prophesy Class of 45 .Q 1,444 ,HW it would read differently, wouldn't it?J As we left we saw Lillian Kinnamon, Margaret Myers, Jorena Yates, Geraldine White, and Opal Rogers, nurses, directing a group of sight seers through the building. The staff secretaries, Irene Kivett, Doris Lane Leonard, and Dorothy Louise Everhart, were taking down detailed dictations on surgery from Dr. Calvin Morris, an eminent physician. On the way to the North Carolina State Building we were accosted by the housewifes' friend, the fuller brushman, Carl Yarborough. We successfully escaped with all of our money, but we had to leave our addresses for future reference, so Carl said. The North Carolina building was under the charge of Keith Sink and consisted of different phases of North Carolina activity. Keith has become very famous as a lawyer. One of the biggest reasons for his success is his irreproachable honesty. Keith is also fair, brilliant, and a good man to do business with. Reverend Everhart opened a large door and we found ourselves in the lecture room. Christine Reid, who had just had her fourth book of poems published, was giving a talk on the journalists in North Carolina. Then three of our teachers got up to five short talks on education in our fair state. They were Adelaide Giles, Sue Leonard, and Wilma Roberts. Adelaide is one of the best women instructors of physical education in the State as well as having been voted the best woman athlete of the year. Sue is the best authority on grammar schools, and Wilma is teaching commercial subjects at Duke University. .We noticed interior decorators, Doris Anne Leonard, Betsey Raper, and Barbara Strelitz, decorating a huge hall for the dance next week. They were con- sulting Jacqueline Weaver, department store owner, about materials. Reverend Everhart suddenly called to my attention the fact that he was hungry so we stopped for a few minutes. We saw Chub Wilson, heavyweight champion of the country, sparring with any- one who dared to climb into the ring with him. Marvin Haynes was coaching his Big Time basketball team. We saw the great football team of co-coaches Noah Miller and Sam Everhart staging I mage of their great professional team. Scott Brandon, the fullback, was just dropping back to M, as the two ends, Robert Tysinger and Stuart Brown, went out as receivers John Lann1ng,'pow If guard, was taking out the second string would-be-tacklers. On the next play Doug Hinson, the quQffiP back, called a very tricky play that completely fooled the other team. ' Q A huge sign hanging across the street attracted our attention. The name Bruce Lohr W1 clearly printed on it in four-foot letters and also the names of the 46 other places where he hi restaurants. His restaurants are especially famous for their bottled white lightning. It's a sec t to everybody else but he told me that it's just Coco-Cothfwith an aspirin added. As we entered we heard John Witherspoon's 230 piece orchestra softly playing -that'pld timer, Beat Me Daddy. The voialist was Garland Young, who is now heralded as the singing! discovery of the year. The peculiar hing about John's orchestra is that it contains 54 French hornsg As the orchestra switched to another old timer, Don't Fence Me In, Reverend Everhgrt nodded his head in the direction of the next table. There sat Tommy Wicks, the current sports e itor oigihe New York Times, talking to Evelyn Swing, foreign correspondent just back from Siberia. H32 fig nothing else to do I turned a well practiced ear and started listening. Tommy was saying, Ig pposefthat you have not heard much society news since you have been away, and although I am thesports editor, I also read the rest of the paper be- sides the funnies. Well, the famous adventurerand Travder, Philip Eames, has just left for Indo China in the 28' sailboat. He came back from Timbuctoo just two weeks ago. Speaking of traveling, Betty Tesh has gone to Paris to start a designing firm there. Louise King has signed up with Earl Carroll, and Jan Walser and Betty Wilson have renewed their contracts with the Power's Models. Patsy Gordon runs a firm that rents out models to dress designers. She has thus helped many un- known models to get a job. s Mary Catherine Craver, prominent newspaper reporter, came up at this time, but my eye and ear were distracted by a large commotion outside. It was the parade of honor going by. In the first car came the President, Bruce Fulbright, and his secretary, Lala Koontz. In the same car were the well-known president of commercial aviation in this country, Melvyn Palmer, and his secretary, Virginia Everhart. Next came the famous Richards Todd, the only 8 star general in the country. He only wanted to be a 5 star general, but officials mailed three more to him. tHe didn't reach the appointed place in time to receive them in person.J His wife was with him. She ,is the famous psychoanalyst, the former Mary Ella Rothrock. I wonder if she practices her trade on him? In the car with the general and his wife was the naval hero of the day, Clyde Thomason. He saved the beautiful admiral's daughter from drowning. Leave it to Clyde to pick out a pretty girl to save. Lucky boy! In the last important car came the three most famous movie stars of the day. William Boyer Allen icommonly known as Trot J, Frances Miller, and James Taylor Goss. Thousands of fans ran behind shouting for autographs. Mr. Allen, always well-prepared, reached into the pockets of his overall coat and tossed out many mimeographed signatures. I then noticed standing on the walk outside the owner of the restaurant talking to Jim Mundy and Richard Tysinger. Jim and Rich- ard own a group of amusement parks all over the country. The parade over, my meal finished, and Reverend Everhart offering to pay the check satisfied me that I should leave. We now headed for the aviation building. This was, perhaps, the most in- teresting building that we entered. In the huge auditorium of the hall were the modern planes con- trasted with those of ten years ago. We heard Willie Kinney, the man in charge, give a talk con- cerning modern aviation. He's the world's greatest authority on this subject. We stood in the lounge and watched the pilots go out to take passengers up on trips, and we saw the passengers come in. Penny McCrary and Clara Caskey, missionaries, came in the door after two years of duty over seas. Myrtle Frazier was the hostess on that plane. She is accredited with making more flights than any other hostess. I watched Doris Lomax, famed woman pilot, take off in her rocket plane. If Leonard was in the control tower directing operations. He is a prominent aeronautical engine James Snellings, Bryce Everhart, Ethel Wagner and Gilbert Pierce also took up planes. The se ries, Earlene Hedrick, Betty Curtis, Hope Lanning, and Geraldine Sneed were busy filing away records of flights. Reverend Everhart seized me by the sleeve and said in a worried tone, I'm late for my speech. Come on and hear me. We rushed off in the direction of the building of Religion and arrived just in time, for his name was being called. He ascended the platform calm and collected before the 10,000 people and began to talk. The longer he talked the dimmer his voice got, until I found myself back at the wrecked Millsapps Laboratory. Reverend Everhart was bending over me praying, and when he saw me move he gave a shout of joy and ran to tell the papers not to print my obituary. There are three things that I regret about my little episode. The first is that Millsapps has to buy a new chemical laboratory. The second is that I didn't get to hear the rest of Reverend Ever- hart's speech. The third and most vivid in my mind is that I spent five whole years of work and research while trying to find the formula for happiness, and all I needed to have done was to go out and gee the class of '45 of L.H.S. for a study of complete success. Oh welll!!! Experience is the best teac er. PAUL Husrrzn, BILL Evam-IART.

Payne. 18 Senior Class History Coping with Latin, Trembling with fear, Eager to be noticed, So began our Freshman year. As we, the Freshmen of 1941 and 1942, entered the portals of Lexington High School, we felt that Robbins', Cecil's, Grimes', and Holtis loss was L.H.S.'s gain. But soon our con- fidence was replaced by timidity as we came face to face with upperclassmen, Latin, and the confusion of so many bells. Our capable leaders for our perilous Freshman year were Penny McCrary, president, Bill Revelle, vice president, Irene Kivett, secretary and treas- urer, and Benny Lopp, reporter. It was under their supervision that our bright green color faded to a less vivid hue. As the first semester ended, uppermost in our minds was veni, vidi, vici and the fact that our football team had lost only one game throughout the.en- tire season, that being to High Point. And at the close of the second semester, we realized that we had just finished a most wonderful school year, and as we dismissed for summer vaca- tion, we were Hlled with anticipation for three more high school years. KNOW that we're older And know a few ropes. This year will be easier, Thought we Sophs, full of hopes. Upon entering school in the fall of 1942, we Sophomores elected as our officers Bill Raker, president, Martha Scarborough, vice president, Irene Kivett, secretary, and Bill Revelle, treasurer. This year we had our Hrst taste of participating in more extra-curricular activi- ties. While displaying our superiority before the Freshmen, We grew more and more con- fident every day. Bravely facing second year Latin, biology, and Miss Walser's grammar, we Sophomores of 1942 and 1943 struggled furiously to uphold the standards which had been set before us by the upperclassmen. As we said farewell to our second high school year, we realized that half of our life at L.H.S. was over, and we solemnly promised our- selves to fill our Junior and Senior years to their capacity. Rejoicing in initiations, And proud of our progress, Attending the Junior-Senior, We were the Juniors of L.H.S. As we tackled the job of being sophisticated Juniors, it was inevitable that we should attain those things we had dreamed of in the eighth and ninth grades. At last we were considered for club membership, and the thrill of becoming members of the Hi-Y, Tau Kappa Phi, Honor Society, Quill and Scroll, and Beta Club will long be remembered. The greatest problem which confronted us as Juniors was raising the suflicient funds for giving the Seniors the annual banquet in their honor. However, we promptly decided that noth- ing but the best would do for our beloved Seniors and with this thought foremost in our minds, we sold candy and drinks at the football games and presented the Junior Class play, Grandpais Twin Sister. Our efforts were rewarded when we were commended on giving a splendid banquet, and success was ours. Now that we had our class rings, we felt that we were true veterans. Thus we Juniors with our chosen leaders, Doug Hinson, president, Bill Everhart, vice president, Louise Everhart, secretary, and Mary Ella Rothrock, treas- urer, said goodbye to our Junior year. Trying to be dignified While walking our last mile, ' Thanking L.H.S. for four glorious years, We Seniors depart with a tear and a smile. The summer of 1944 passed rapidly, and fall found us once again in school, but this time as Seniors. Striving to make our last year the most memorable, we entered into every ac- t1v1ty wholeheartedly. While attempting to master chemistry and trigonometry we en- deavored to keep our spirits as well as our marks high. Doug Hinson, Bill Raker, Evelyn Sw1ng,,and Martha Scarborough who were president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively, were our Senior officers. As We, the Seniors of 1944 and 1945, leave Lexington High School, never to return again as students, we earnestly hope that as we enter into the activities of the world as adults, we shall remember and cherish the happy moments we have spent here. We also-pray that not only shall we hold fast to the knowledge we have obtained, but that we will cling to the high standards of fairness and good sportsman- ship that have been taught us by our beloved Lexington High School. MARY ELLA Ro'rHRocK. 19 Class Poem of '45 OUR CREED Away from the trials and triumphs that have happened throughout the years. Away from the joys and sorrows that we all hold so dear, Away from our friends, who always proved so kind, To part for awhile, but to meet again sometime. Sorrow may be present when we part on that day To go forth to conquer and make clear our way, To lead our own life in the way that we might choose, To play the game for keeps, to win or to lose. We have the power and the will to conquer sin and sorrow, It takes us, the children of today, to make a nation of tomorrow- A nation built of progress, a nation built of life, A nation that has been built through our labor and our strife. We'll carry the torch for all our rightsg welllbelieve in our creed And finally, struggling on in life, we'll find that we must lead. We'll onward strive and reach our goal, We'll give to God a clean, pure soul. - CHRISTINE REID. 20 SENIOR SNAPS 21 'fQF f E L Ld' GN W ef ire-, OCD JA X' f 5 3 R.

The next game was played on the Mills Home Field with the Jacket's strong rivals, the Thomasville Bulldogs.

CHEER LEADERS 1944-45 The seven lucky boys and girls who had been chosen as L.H.S. cheer leaders were all aldither on that September afternoon back in '44, They were all very excited but a little unhappy over all the hard work and practice that would follow. There were practices after school every , afternoon for weeks and all of them were quite conscious of some very sore muscles and limbs. Then the big moment came and the new cheer leaders performed at L.H.S.'s first game of the season. There were many mistakes and faults of course, but with each A game and each pep meeting the guys and gals improved with Miss Furchess and Miss Holton constantly working with them, they were successful enough to finally bring out a good school spirit. Here's hats off to a grand group of cheer leaders Cmistakes and allj who proved that school spirit is always thereg it just has to be brought out!! 40 SNAPS 41 Jmqj flag? fmzf :.,....4 wc J ,dual ,T , sNAPs 'MM-44n,l.-q , Q32,.,,,,x 1 OFFICERS: PENNY MCCRARY, President, N.C.S.S.C.C.g JOHN WITEIERSPOON, President, L.H.S.

All the members of this society are out- standing in the four requirements and strive to make a better Lexington High School. QUILL AND SCROLL i The Quill and Scroll this year is under the capable leadership of Martha Brannock, presidentg Paul Williams, vice presidentg Bobby Team, secretary and with Mrs. Ottis Hedrick and Mrs. L.
