. 7 (Presenting THE MILLBROOKLET for 1945 We, the Class of 1945, dedicate this The Millbrooklet to our boys and girls who have given their lives that we might pursue happiness. Graduates of this school have survived broken and mangled bodies at Pearl Harbor; they have piloted reconnais- sance planes above the Solomons; they have refused to be driven from Guadalcanal; they have guided battle cruisers along the North Atlantic circle; they have dropped their metallic messages over all of Germany; they have fought under the shadow of the Pyramids; they have hurled tanks across the sands of ancient Carthage. With fortitude, with courage, and with unconquer- able zeal, they have proved their rights to be called Americans. To them is our admiration. Having acted well their parts in a great world crisis and in securing peace, they have brought honor and renown to their Alma Mater and have been an in- spiration to all undergraduates.

We earnestly hope in our hearts, To serve God, nation and friends That we may follow the pathway Which leads to a very happy end. Now we leave our old Alma Mater To enter our work for life, For that is what we’ve prepar’d for To keep mankind from ignorance and strife. So now we are here to bid farewell To school, teachers, and classmates, Leaving with you thanks for helping, Knowing now what will be our future fate. — Erma Barlow Four long years together we’ve endured Fretting each other, but quickly getting cured. We have spent time in our own little way, Laughing and singing at work and play. Our teacher’s belief is strong and mild, And she’s very sturdy on a chewing-gum child. But don’t worry she’s as fair as can be, Helping others with love from “Thee”. Yes, the Senior class of forty-five Bids the coming class a heartful surprise! We feel our work has hardly begun When now ’tis time to call it done. So friends and classmates we hid adieu, Hoping you’ll remember us, as we will you. Martha Cooke As we draw near the end of school In this time of turmoil and strife May we remember the things, Which have happened during our life. Some deeds have been accomplished Through our lives, fervent and clear God help us we pray, As we pass through the coming years. We have witnessed many sorrows As well as many woes But our class has worked together And has trived for highest goals Four years have passed with much gain But we have stuck together To reach our heights attain. Dear Millbrook Hi we hate to leave you But duty calls us on We really will not forget you, No matter where we roam. Your memory will linger As onward we march. And the love of our faculty will be Embedded in all of our hearts. Appreciation To — The Faculty We appreciate the time and efforts you have giv- en us. Your character training has proved what a class can accomplish for our outstanding school. Mrs. M. M. Walters We, the Class of 1945, wish to show our appre- ciation to our Sponsor and Advisor for giving her efforts to make this, our first Annual, a success. She is a never-tiring person, always helping oth- ers. We can never thank her too much. Juanita Walters CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1941, we, the class of 1945, entered the Millbrook High School. The memory of that first day still lingers with us. Appalled by the new sur- roundings, how frightened we poor freshmen were. Sixty-two in number, we furnished plenty of amuse- ment for the three upper classes for a time. We entered our career under the capable and understand- ing leadership of Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Roberts. A new member, Mary Edna Pope, joined us and stayed her remaining days in high school. A sorrow came over our class this year when Cleo Slater met her death in an automobile accident, February 22. Goodness, just think, we have now changed from green freshman to wise sophomores. As the table turned, we found at the front of the room Mr. Wright and Mrs. Holding. However, Mr. Wright left us and Mrs. Nancy Beasley, whom we’ll never forget, willingly took his place. The memory of her will forever linger in our minds. The following new members were added to our class: Annie Grey Boyette, David Wadford, Donald Graham, and Juanita Wal- ters. A class party at David Humphrey’s will always remind us of our sophomore days. As the end of the year drew near, we felt very honored that the senior class of ’43 asked us to participate in the class day exercise by carrying a daisy chain. Imagine forty silly sophomores now being changed into jolly juniors. We all realize that this year meant hard work as well as fun. Mrs. Ada Lee Herrin, from Wake Forest, was our new advisor. With delight she soon became one of us, sharing our joys and sorrows. It was with pleasure that we had a new principal, Mr. W. M. Beasley, to open our junior class year. We were happy to have Ruth Whitley and Joyce Roberts to join our class. Little did they realize the work they were getting into. First of the year brought many contests, in which the girls were usually the winners. One of the outstanding activities of our Junior year was the play, “Shoot the Works. The title reminds us of the hard work we had to do. It is impossible for us to forget the day our rings arrived, because it gladdened our hearts. Another outstanding activity of the year was our Junior- Senior Banquet held in the gymnasium. After much preparation and work, we carried out successfully our theme in the form of a ship, “U. S. S. Victory.” As we approached the end of the year, we could hardly realize the many happy hours we had spent together. Our joys for the year ended with a weiner roast at Pullen Park given by the class. This was our last social function for the year. As the years flew by we found ourselves, happily seated, in the senior class. For eleven years we had patiently waited for this to come. Our teacher, Mrs. Walters, found herself very busy at the beginning of the year preparing more seats for the large number of of seniors. Who should join us this year but Eugene Allen, L. T. Averett, David Beck, Bill Rogers, William Harrington, and Eloise Warren. We hated to lose several of our classmates who joined the armed ser- vices. They were C. R. Barham, Lawrence Bordeaux, Harold Perry, George MacMillan, and Robert Hollo- way. The first semester of our senior year was con- secrated to hard work, consisting of a chapel program “The Belles of Fol-de-Roi.” Our grademothers enter- tained us with a Christmas party which we will never forget. During the second semester we produced a senior play, “Look Me In the Eye.” Much to our surprise we went over the top. The discussion for an annual was the chief topic for the remainder of the year preparing more seats for the large number the year. Being the first annual in the history of Millbrook High School, believe it or not, it meant bard work and plenty of it. The seniors looked forward to the banquet, May 11, given by the sopho- mores. It was carried out with much form and dignity and was enjoyed by everyone. Thus ends our eventful four years of high school of the most remarkable class that ever graduated from this high school. We have covered ourselves with glory, we have stuck to- gether, and we have shared in joys and in sorrows. And as we awaited our remaining time in school we were very busy with the closing exercises — parties, examinations, class day exercises, baccalaureate ser- mon, and last but not least, graduation.

MASCOTS Brenda Carol Usher William Johnson Walters GIFTS For eleven years has the class of 1945 started to school. Many and fond are the ties on which have been formed by the class association of these years of our school life. Tonight, on the eve of separation, when we take up our duties in life, we have devised this means of keeping in mind the memories of these wonderful eleven years. We were appointed to present to our class-mates these magnificent gifts as an evidence that this class has been and will ever be far superior to any class in this state. To our witty little boy, Eugene, we give this joke book. To J. L. we give this comb so that he can keep his pretty hair in place. To Katherine, we give this date book so she can keep her dates straight. L. T., take this hair net, it will keep your waves in place. To L. W. we give this brush so he cen keep his shoes shined. We give Doris Barker a fire engine, here’s hop- ing that nothing will happen. To Erma, the baby of the senior class, we give this bottle and nipple.

Dorothy, take this sign-post so it will direct you to Cherry Point. Elsie, take this sailor. It seems you like them. To Martha we give this soldier. It is not Marcus, but it is the best we can do. Doris Daniels, here is a lamb to match your timidness. Mary Lou, here is a pack of chewing gum but be sure not to chew it when applying for a job. Since the height of Don’s ambition is to be 67” tall, we give him this ruler so he can keep an accu- rate account. Well, Bill Gupton, we couldn’t get a gas stam p, but here is some gas. We hope it will serve the pur- pose. To David Humphrey, we give this postal card. Take heed to the message it carries. Since Estelle’s desire is to become a housekeeper, we give her this broom. To Carl, the book worm, we give this book. We give Haywood this bell to tie around his neck to keep himself awake. Gladys, you and your fishing pole are very close friends, so we leave it with you for further use. To Jim Norwood, we give this good luck piece, wishing him good luck wherever he goes. We give Hubert this needle and thread so he can keep up his work as a seamer. Baxter, take these bobbie pins. Maybe they will keep your hair out of your eyes. We give this lipstick to Doris Poole as one of her life’s treasures. We want to give Mary Edna this mirror so she can watch herself blush. To Joyce Roberts, we give this ribbon so she will never be without a beau. To Bill Rogers, we give a bottle of peroxide so he can keep his hair peroxided. We give this telephone to Ethel so she can keep up her conversation with the boys. To Lois, we give this basketball so she can keep up her athletic ability. Edith, here is some sugar to keep your disposi- tion sweet. We give Lewis this car so he can continue his driving without borrowing his daddy’s. For Mildred is some stationery so she can keep up her correspondence with the boys. Faryiie Gray, here is some glue to keep you from falling apart. David Wadford, I guess your old pipe is worn out by now, so here is a new one. To Juanita, we give this money to keep her from asking it from her mother. To Eloise, we give these heel taps to keep her shoes from wearing out by sliding her feet. Ruth, here is a box to keep your jewelry in. To our service boys, Lawrence Bordeaux, Harold Perry, George McMillan, Robert Holloway, and C. R. Barham, we give our best wishes for a happy future. Now we have finished our task and we trust that we, the class of 1945, will never be forgotten. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Mrs. M. M.

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Friends and parents gathered here to witness our departure in this sphere of life, we appoint you execu- tors of this, our last will and testament, assured that you will see is properly carried out, and revoking and making void all formal wills heretofore made. For four years, we, the pupils of Millbrook High School have journeyed the paths of knowledge and have accumulated information which we hope will be valuable at all times. During the past few months, the class of 1945 has appointed me to make this will, be- queathing this into those we leave behind such things that have been left to us. First, we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends, and well-wishers. Second, to the wise old sophomores, we leave our best wishes and thanks if you keep on doing as you have done for the past two years. We leave you the task of setting a good example for the younger pu- pils. This means you must act a little better than they. While not a hard task for us, we realize that it may prove to be one for our young followers — The Class of 1947. Third, to the next graduating class, we will our home room and may you keep it as clean and as neat as we have. We give and bequeath Joyce Roberts’ attractive- ness to Josephine Royall.

Best Dressed — Conceited Fannie Gray Wade J. L. Allen Wittiest Mary Lou Ferguson Eugene Allen PROPHECY As I was sleeping I had the most peculiar dreams that anyone could have. Immediately 1 turned on the light and jotted down the vision that had appeared. The first thing I saw was Fannie Gray Wade teaching school, but tired of that occupation, she began to give dancing lessons. Mary Edna Pope after four years of faithful and efficient work was teaching poor heathens in India. Baxter Piper, having developed a great skill in training horses, was exhibit- ing them to packed grand stands; his most capable rider was none other than Gladys Murray. Lois Shuf- fler, after receiving a degree from Meredith College and studying in Europe, appeared as an outstanding educator of the newer methods of teaching. Eloise Warren had become a stylish milliner in New York City. She had more customers than she could serve although she charged $25 for every hat she designed. Katherine Allen decided that her talent lay in the med- ical field. She did well in her studies and the letters M. D. have been added to her name. She seemed to be a popular physician with a growing practice. Elsie Mae Crabtree chose her profession early in life and had become the operator of “The Madame Queen”. Estelle Jackson thought housekeeping was her forte; therefore she accepted a position in a large summer hotel where she was earning enough to remain in idleness during the winter. Doris Poole had become a dress maker in St. Louis where she was making many artistic and expensive costumes. Lewis Smith had become an outstanding astronomer in the country who had found an accurate method for finding the distance of the stars. He was anticipating a visit to the moon. Annie Grey Boyette was a competent and highly esteemed book-keeper in a large publishing house. Ethel Shackleford was a glamour girl in Hollywood. She had married L. T. Averette, a most promising movie producer. Haywood Lowery, with ever a smiling face, Was driving the bakers cart, He seasons pies with clove and mace, And sells sweet cakes and tarts. Mildred Sullivan had founded a refuge for stray cats and dogs. She and her institution had become so famous that her pets were capturing all the prizes. Doris Daniels had a large fortune left her by her uncle. She established an Old Maid’s institution. Joyce Roberts had become a famous governess in a wealthy family of South America. She looked more like a queen. David Humphery had at last reached the height of his ambition, playing a cornet in Kay Kyser’s Orchestra. When Dorothy Crabtree had re- ceived her Diploma of Nursing and was deeply loved by all her patients and friends. Hubert Perry had be- come a public speaker and an authority in the business of advising what occupation a short boy should enter. Martha Lee Cook was a famous poet and author. Bill Rogers had become a great machinist. His chief oc- cupation was making machines which help scholars to learn and to remember. L. W. Baker and George MacMillan, Brigadier Generals, were inspecting each camp. Don Graham was a successful band leader with Eugene Allen as his crooner. They were playing on Broadway seven nights to the week. Juanita Wal- ters studied five years at the conservatory in Boston and later became instructor in the conservatory in Paris. Ruth Whitley was making her debut on the stage in New York. Carl Lane concluded that it was best for him to stay in his home town where he built up a large merchantile business and taught a large class in surveying. Edith Smith was a great artist. She was very distinguish among the American people. J. L. Allen and Bill Gupton, having studied law at Harvard, had become quite famous in tfreir profession. Bill was serving as Chief Justice of the United States. Mary Lou Ferguson studied Interior Decorating and was quite an authority in her profession. She had a contract to decorate all the schools in North Carolina. On highway 70A we found David Wadford operating a super-super filling station. He catered only to people with money. Doris Barker had become a prominent announcer over N. B. C. Her voice was heard daily. As I walked down Fayetteville Street in Raleigh, I met two of my old teachers, Mrs. Walters and Mrs. Johnston. Mrs. Walters said, “We were just talking about your success in obtaining the contract to build the Fayette Skyscraper in Raleigh.” “Who, me? Erma Barlow!” My dream was so real that 1 was frightened when I awoke to find it was a fancy — a dream. Can Y ou Imagine? Joyce Roberts without Carl? Ruth Whitley with dark hair?
