Finally we dis- covered this strange method of schooling wasn't bad and perked up enough to elect for class officers the following: President, Charles Vernon, Vice-President, Harold Mitchell, Secretary-Treasurer, Hilda Lane. We achieved the highest glory by carrying off first honors at Stunt Nite. Our stunt was The Touchdown, in which Plato Wilson and Faye Griffin starred. The football team under Coach Reinhardt's able guidance won the Western Conference for the first time in many years. The band, with some of our class mem- bers, went to Charlotte to the National School Music Competition Festival and received an honor rating. We went back to pen with the first movement of our work finished and ready to begin the second. As sophomores our head officers were: President, Harold Mitchell, Vice-President, Bill Connelly. The band was composed of many of our members: Bill Denton, Curtis Fleming, Alfred Perkins, Bob Rhyne, Wilrose Smith, Kate Lee Coburn, jimmy Henritzy, Harold Kincaid, Susan Walker, Ralph Harbison, jimmy Hoyle, Frank Patton, jean Anthony, Gene Bishop, Margaret Carter, Henrietta Walton. Again the foot- ball team claimed championship in the Western Con- ference. We presented a skit from Bird's Christmas Carols at junior Stunt Nite and found that quite a few members were still children at heart. When the school term came to a close, we felt we had com- pleted a successful year and were ready to become upperclassmen. At Last, we had attained the halfway mark and could now keep perfect time with the daily routine. Busy as could be under our new officers: President, Harold Mitchell, Vice-President, Sam Ervin, Secre- tary, Susan Walker, Treasurer, Plato Wilson, Statis- tician, Bill Denton, Historian, Laura Mundy, we earned money for the entertainment of the seniors. After the attack by the japanese on December 7, 1941, our class with a grave determination prepared for the changes they knew were to come. Stunt Nite was held by the juniors who took first place with their presentation of the pantomime, Lord Ullin's Daughter. The football team won the West- ern Conference Championship for the third consecu- tive year. Sam Ervin was Vice-President of the Student Coun- cil, and the Honor Society inducted from the junior Class for membership in the organization the follow- 1 Twenty four ing: Margaret Carter, Mary Louise Watkins, Martha Walton, Bill Carter, Bill Denton, Hilda Lane, Susan Walker, and Sarah Kibler. The Commencement Marshals for the Senior Class were: Hilda Lane, Margaret Carter, Henrietta Walton, Sybil Absher, Susan Walker, Bill Carter, Glenn Patton, Bill Den- ton, Curtis Fleming, and Harold Mitchell. Spring came, and the class honored the seniors at the annual banquet, which helped terminate another booming year. Seniors, just the pronunciation of the word gave us a feeling of power. We held the burdens of the school on our sturdy shoulders, while our heads were in the clouds. Our class officers were: President, Bill Denton, Vice-President, Betty Alwran, Secretary, Margaret Carter, Treasurer, Glenn Patton, Statisti- cian, Alfred Perkins, Prophet, jimmy Hoyle, His- torian, Laura Mundy. In the Student Government, Harold Mitchell was President, and Theresa Duck- worth and Plato Wilson were Council Members. Betty Alwran, Henrietta Walton, Mary Alice Leonhardt, Frances Bradley, Louise Mooney, Theresa Duckworth, Kate Lee Coburn, Harold Mitchell, and Sam Ervin were taken into the Honor Society. junior Stunt Nite was held in February with the seniors giving King for a Day. During the year, the Victory Corps was organized to help prepare the seniors for their inevitable war work. Salvage drives were carried on with great zeal, and a point system of rationing was begun. - On April 16, the annual senior play directed by Miss Gray was presented by the talented actors of the class. The title of the play was Gabriel, Blow Your Horn! a delightful mountaineer comedy that kept the audience in stitches. Those taking part were Frances Bradley, Margaret Ross, Henrietta Walton, Hilda Lane, Betty Simpson, Dorothy Ann Harbison, Plato Wilson, Thurman Watts, Bob Rhyne, Glenn Patton, George Ramseur, and Bill Connelly. A banquet was given by the juniors for the en- joyment of the seniors. Near the end of our school year, we felt we had accumulated a vast store of knowledge, not only in books, but in the art of mak- ing friends. Yet we knew we had much more to learn. Thus we have raced up and down the scales, until at last we have reached the highest point and are ready to tumble over the top of the staff in the world beyond and seek our fortunes. It took the notes of each of us to finish a lovely selection, and we hope that this masterpiece will long be remem- bered in dear M. H. S.

While touring in Philadelphia I ran into some friends, Rudy Ashton, Presley Bingham, Frank- lin Fox, who own a large industry-The Iron 8: Steel Works. They iron all day and steal all night. In Atlantic City I got a hotdog at the stand on the beach, run by Cecil Leonhardt and Robin Hedden. Approaching Baltimore via plane I saw the big airplane factory, Glenn L. Patton, Inc., camouflage designed by Ralph Harbison. On the outskirts of the city was George Ramseur on his 2,000-acre farm. New York City really had a lot from our 1943 graduating class: Lloyd Eakers running a cafe across the street from Bill Cash's theater, largest in the world, at that time starring Betty Simpson and Platon Wilson in The Eyes and Ears of the World, written by Kate Lee Co- burn. Up the street was Bill Denton's Burke- mont Hotel, with Walton Avery and his or- chestra playing. Near by was Rama Watts sing- ing at the Canary Club, where j. C. Hoyle was owner.

The Cats, playing with veterans in new positions, were never able to pro- duce a sustained drive. The Wildcats fashioned one of the outstanding upsets in high school circles by dumping a highly favored Charlotte Central High eleven 7 to 6. Simpson scored the Cat tally early in the sec- ond quarter, and Captain Clark added the extra point. Central roared back to score in the third quarter after the recovery of a Morganton fumble. The try for the extra point was blocked. A brilliant goal line stand stopped the second Central drive on the one-foot line as the game ended. Despite a decided superiority throughout most of the game, the Wildcats tumbled before Can- ton High 7 to 0. The locals rolled up 17 first downs to Canton's 1, but their attack bogged down repeatedly deep in enemy territory. The winning score came when a Bearcat player intercepted Simpsons pass and galloped 95 yards to paydirt. The Wildcats suffered their first conference loss in three years as they fell before the Marion Rippers 7 to 6. After M. H. S. had scored on a pass from Simpson to Ross, the Rippers unleashed a strong aerial attack which netted their tally. F. Harris converted to supply the margin Of victory. The Lincolnton Wolves handed the Cats their second conseciutive loop beating 7 to 6. Lin- colnton scored first midway in the second quarter, and Conner added what proved to be the win- ning point. The Cats came to life in the final stanza, and Simpson terminated the drive by ploughing over. Another drive, led by Greene, carried to the Lincolnton 3 as the game ended.

Greene continued his brilliant play, scoring twice. Clark converted successfully after both of Greene's markers. Shelby scored in the last quarter on a pass. The Cats fought a slightly favored Lenoir club to a 0-0 tie on the local field. Led by Greene and Simpson, the Cats outgained their rivals Slightly, but neither team could produce the final drive needed to score. Morganton romped to an easy 46 to 6 win over an outclassed Elkin High aggregation. Greene crossed the double stripe 4 times to pace the attack. Wilstrn intercepted an Elkin toss and raced 65 yards for another tally, Many reserves saw varsity service for the first time in this game. M. H. S. celebrated Homecoming by running over Hickory High 21 to 6. Greene culminated an 80-yard march by going over for the first score. Clark converted. A Hickory fumble Set up the second score, with Simpson going over. Clark again converted. Greene went over for the final M. H. S. score after Wilson had blocked a Hickory punt to set it up. Clark booted the point. Bill Green, who played an exceptionally good game, scored the lone Hickory touchdown. The Cats got partial revenge for many defeats by downing an under-par Orphan eleven 26 to 0. On the first play from scrimmage Hudson broke loose on a reverse and romped 35 yards to score. Greene scored for the Cats in the second quarter, and Simpson completed the rout by tallying twice in the second half. Greene and Clark added the extra points. The Wildcats closed the '42 grid season by whipping Gaffney High 26 to 0. On the opening kickoff the Cats marched to a touchdown with Greene going over on a line buck. A blocked kick set up the second Score, and the locals took full advantage of the break as Greene passed to Mode for the tally. Simpson scored in the third quarter, and Tolbert added the final touchdown on a pass. Gaffney, with an inexperienced clIIb on the field, was never able to start rolling, Fifty-zbree Fifi y-four GIRLS' B SHETBP-yl..L Fim Raw, Lefz to Riglaz: LENA BEACH, DORIS POWELL, IONE BENEIELD, HAZEL HERN, Captaing OZELLE BRITTAIN, SOPHIA DAVIS, LOIS THRONEBURG.

The locals rolled through regular season opponents with ease, losing only to the powerful All-Stars. Coach Shankle's squad then centered the Western Con- ference Tournament and swept through to defeat Shelby in the Hnals for the loop title. Hood and Hern led the scoring while all of the guards turned in fine defensive play throughout the season. 1 f I I 5 IU L, ,ff fd , l fbff KV oi BUYS B!l5lfiETH!ll..L .ff If I y, R C y ' R'-'::.i...,t f . --If .

The locals took the County Loop title without suffering a single setback. ln the opening round of the Western Conference Tournament, however, the Cats were eliminated by the red hot Hickory High quintet. The Cats suffered from the loss of several key players near the first of the season and al- though they continued to win they never again reached their peak. Ross and Jim Wallker took top scoring honors while Mode played his usual steady game throughout the schedule.
