Students of Morganton High Morganton, North Carolina Volume XVI ONCE UPON A TIME—That magical phrase that brings to the mind of each of us joys, heartaches, and adventures. We, in combining these, have composed for you pur “Song of the South.” We have tried to capture that “zip-a-dee-do-dah” feeling with the gay antics of Uncle Remus and all his lovable characters. Our days at M. H. S. are but a chapter in the long con¬ tinued story of our lives. We hope this annual will at least be a memorable page in that chapter. And so, with the hope that you will enjoy every page from once upon a time” to “happily ever after,” we give you our “SONG OF THE SOUTH.” TABLE OF CONTENTS In Memoriam Dedication Administration Class of ’59 Class of ’60 Class of ’61 Class of ’62 Sports Organizations Features BURKE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY In Memoriam Gentle in manner and attractive in appearance; loyal to those with whom she worked; kind to the ones she taught; generous in giving of her time and talent to advance the cause of education; because of these and other admirable qualities, Mary Carter will live on in the hearts ' of all who remember her as mentor, counselor, and faithful friend. Dedication With deepest appreciation for her sincere interest in students, her encouragement and promotion of the use of the library, and her willingness to cooperate in school projects, the members of the annual staff are proud to dedicate the 1959 CAT’S TALE to our librarian, MRS. MYRTLE L. REACH. Once upon a time, deep in the heart of North Carolina, there stood a school known fondly to all as Morganton High. This building was endowed with the love of the students who, each day for four years, tread their way to its doors. Morganton High School brings to their minds not merely a building, but a glowing pride that can be expressed only as the “spirit of M. H. S” ALMA MATER From the mountains to the sea Rings a sound that’s dear to me. Waking, sleeping, still I hear “ALMA MATER dear.” No matter where I choose to roam, You will always be my home. Singing praises to the sky For dear old Morganton High. Our superintendent, Mr. Maston Parham; our supervisor, Mr. Otis Peterson; and their secretary, Miss Martha Noogle; keep not only M. H. S. but also all the other Morganton schools running smoothly.

Senior Class Poem HIGH SCHOOL We shall treasure memories of these four years, Remember the excitement, joys, and fears; Think about what we did long years ago, Ponder on memories that we value so. First came the ninth, the grade of beginning; Then we were Sophomores, the ladder ascending. Next year we were juniors, nearer the top. Now we are Seniors, and proud? yes, a lot. We recall subjects which our teachers taught, Although many times against them we fought; English, history, science, and math, too. Now we wonder how much to us got through. But on weekends we left studies behind, And into football games and dances we lined. Too, there was track, baseball, and basketball, Sports for everyone, spring, winter, and fall. All of these things have made up our four years. We’ll trade them for nothing, in spite of the tears, Because our future in so many ways ill be shaped by these memorable days. JOYCE ROSS Poet Senior Class History We entered high school in September of 1955, a large group of bewildered Freshmen. Used to our privileged position as the Seniors of junior High School, we were in a completely new world. We knew very few people and had no idea of where to go or what to do. We were eager to do every¬ thing just right, but because of the superior attitude of the upperclassmen, we were afraid to assert ourselves very strongly. After several weeks we began to get adjusted and were even less awed by the Seniors. We elected the following officers that year: Lynne Branch, president; Bruce Lowder- milk, vice-president; Rebecca Williams, secretary; and Wayne Grady, treasurer. We tried our skill at tumbling, bouncing on the trampoline, and playing basketball. We tried to comprehend Shakespeare’s plays and, to our surprise, we found that it wasn’t too bad after all. That year swiftly came to an end, and we looked eagerly ahead to our second big step toward the completion of our high school educa¬ tion. We now thought of ourselves as sophisticated Sophomores. We would look down on the “green Freshmen” and were less envious of the upperclassmen. We became experts on the identification of insects and leaves. We toiled long and diligently over Silas Marner and Julius Caesar. Some of us were the envy of the class because one long-dream ed-of event had finally taken place—we had re¬ ceived our drivers’ licenses. We were guided through that important year by these officers: Bill Brans- trom, president; Charles Wintzer, vice-president; Judy Graves, secretary; and Gail Brittain, treasurer. We were now a part of that envied group of upperclassmen. To lead the Junior Class we selected as officers: Vernon Winters, president; Charles Wintzer, vice-president; Judy Graves, secretary; and Gail Brittain, treasurer. That year we had one important goal toward which we were working—the Junior-Senior Prom. With grim determination we policed the football stadium and manned the con¬ cession stand, as we vowed to make this prom the best Junior-Senior yet! No one begrudged the hard work, though, when we learned that the “Old South” theme met with the approval of everyone. Commencement marshals were also chosen from our class that year. The students chosen were Joyce Ross and Paul Helminger, chief marshals; Emily Barnwell, Andy Crawley, Ann Barbour, Vernon Winters, Sylvia Fowler, Bill Browning, Jeanette Gray, and Tommy Franklin. At last we were that favored group—Seniors! It seemed as if the responsibilities of the school rested upon our shoulders. It was up to us to set a good example for the underclassmen. Our officers were: Vernon Winters, president; Lynne Branch, vice-president; Gail Brittain, secretary; and Marcia Dean, treasurer. To write the Senior specialties we chose the following: Gail Brittain, testatrix; Betsy Hutchins, prophet; Joyce Ross, poet; and Lynne Branch, historian. Our football team was under the capable leadership of co-captains Charles Wintzer and Vernon Winters. Now, even though we realize that all good things must come to an end, we still feel a little sad. We start remembering the past—the pep rallies, sock hops, and the many football games. We remem¬ ber our teachers, who patiently tried their utmost to instill some grains of knowledge in us. We re¬ member the “gang” and all the good times we’ve had. Well remember these things as long as we live, but one night will be especially clear in our minds—graduation night. So as we walk through the halls of Morganton High School for the last time, we are extremely thankful that we ll always have mem¬ ories. LYNNE BRANCH Historian Senior Class Will e, the Seniors of Morganton High, in order to form a more perfect school; establish all onr abilities, hopes, and possessions for the benefit of the Juniors; insure ourselves that they are being left in good hands; provide the Jising Senior class with qualities they will be expected to possess next year; promote a better understanding between ,. e { lts ; ant parents; and secure the blessings of homework to anyone who stays at home; do ordain and es¬ tablish this 1 he Last Will and Testament to the rising Juniors of Morganton High School, in the town of Morganton, county of Burke, and state of North Carolina.

Duckworth, will my ability to be seen and not heard to Charles Davis, Barry Swain, James McLean, and Vance Moore, because we all believe that silence is golden. I, Betty Jo Carpenter, will my long hand notes on shorthand to Pat Goodnight, so she can do her history homework in three hours instead of the usual four. I, Andy Crawley, will my ability to play the guitar to Bill Rudicil, so Bill will be able to entertain all the “drugstore cowboys.” I, Dale Lybrand, will my little mischievous smile to Benny Rockett and Jimmy Connelly, so they can use it to influence others. We, Johnny Berry and Wayne Hedrick, leave our love for classical or semi-classical music to Billy McFadden, so Billy will have something to entertain him while he is filling up all the cars with gas. I, Henry Beck, will all my paper cups, which I have kept to remind me of my year playing for the “Paper Cup League” to Jerry Scott and Wade Stack, who will probably be next year’s star players. I, Alton Sims, leave my ability to just barely get to my classes on time, because I am always delayed in the hall, to Victor Parks. I, Roy Murray, will to Louis Putnam all the memories and fun we had being in office practice together this year. I, Terry Towery, will my ability to pour Pepsi’s at a terrific speed to the delight of all the customers to Wayne Whisenant, who has a lot of orders to take care of at the movies. I, Charles Fox, will my ability to never be in a hurry and to do everything the slow way to Bobby Barrier and Henry Watts, who are always trying to give three minute oral reports as if they had only one minute to live. I, Jackie Boyles, leave my record “They Try to Tell Me He’s Too Young,” which brings back a lot of old memories, to Janice Pritchard, whose favorite record for a long time has been “Where Are You Litt le Boy?” I, Marcia Dean, leave all my Spanish II notes, which I have tried to keep in perfect order, to Barbara Puett, who has yet another year to go. I, Sara Harbison, leave my ability to let people know I’m around to Martha Harbison, who has to keep the Harbison name in the minds of all the teachers for another year. I, Jean Keaton, leave my initials J. K. to Jean Kean, who will get them whether I leave them or not. I, Edwina Moses, leave my ability always to add some¬ thing to what’s been said to Doris Piercy and Minta Orders, who are always so busy studying that they don’t know what was even said to begin with. We, Doris Willets and Judy Reichert, will our record “Short Shorts” to Patty Wacaster, because shorts look pretty good on all three of us. I, June Johnston, will my piano, which I play so well, to Licata Puett, so Licata can practice all summer on next year’s chorus music. I, Pat Stubbs, will my tall slender figure and dark hair to Diane Tasler. We, Sylvia Jean Brown, Mary Bruns, and Sylvia Harris, will to Carolyn Whisnant and Norma Self our ability always to pay attention and to cause as little dis¬ turbance as possible. I, Sally Smith, will the use of my car, which I get to drive a lot, to Judy Setzer, so Judy will have a way to work at the hospital every day after school. I, Nelson Causby, will my car to Buddy Allman, so if Buddy ever gets homesick he can make a quick trip North, but I wouldn’t advise him to make any quick- trips South. I, Geraldine Ball, will my good grades in history to Helen Singleton. We, Margaret Seitz and Becky Hawkins, leave our nice friendly personalities to any Junior girl who has this characteristic. We, the Senior Class, do sign and approve this to be our “Last Will and Testament.” Signed: THE SENIOR CLASS Gail Brittain Testatrix Senior Cl ass Prophecy “All right, Gabriel, let’s not overdo it. You can stop blowing your horn now, because I think everyone is here. Yes, watch out, here they come! Crash! Bang! Thud! “O. K., O. K.! For goodness sake, don’t tear down the Pearly Gates! Everyone is going to get in, so don’t get so excited. Just be nice and calm, and I will introduce myself. I am Saint Peter, and, as you know, you are about to enter the Pearly Gates, so you must conduct yourselves a little more orderly. There, now , that’s better. “Now, let me see. According to my list, this group is originally from Morganton, North Carolina. Hmmm. I believe everyone is here. No, I believe that we have a late-comer who is just arriving. Let’s see, who is that? Why, that’s Irene McGuirk! Since she has been a missionary in China all these years we will excuse her for being late. “Now, let’s look over the books and see where you folks have been, what you have been doing, and whether or not your records are worthy enough to allow you to come in. “Everything is here in the books, so quiet down back there, Miss Sara Harbison. You can’t talk your way in here, although you did talk your way into becoming North Carolina’s very first lady senator. “I see that Greer Suttlemyre and Jackie Boyles finally made Hollywood, and are very famous for their many movies, and also their generous works in the charities for less fortunate actors. “Dr. Paul Helminger, the well-known scien¬ tist, almost beat all of you here when the moon- bound rocket, in which he was riding, missed completely. Fortunately, his superior scientific know-how’ got him back to Earth unharmed. Assisting him in this project were two famous missile experts, Madame Dorothy Copenhaver, and Dr. Nancy Higgins. “Lawyer Frankie Phillips, has spent her life working on the great problem of ‘adult delin¬ quency,’ and has won many cases in courts pre¬ sided over by Judge Andy Crawley, a very distinguished, solemn gentleman. “In the great measles epidemic of 1999, the world-famous physician, Dr. Tommy Franklin and his nurse, Judy Barrier, saved many lives. 1 hey went to Alaska, and there saved the lives of Betty Arney and her sister-in-law, Bebecca M illiams, wealthy ski instructors. Edward and Edwin Arrowood also owe their lives to Dr. Franklin and Nurse Barrier. When stricken with measles, these boys were working in the Iron and Steele Factory of Australia, where they would iron all day and steal all night. The superinten¬ dent of this factory, Terry Towery, would not have been superintendent for forty years if it had not been for this doctor and nurse. Ray Franklin, a T.V. repairman in Africa, was also saved. “In the Greene and Black School for Under¬ privileged Children, started by the millionaires, Mr. Ralph Greene and Mr. Ronald Black, won¬ derful work was done by the principal, Sylvia Jean Brown. This school is outstanding for its physical education department, run by Jan Norvell, the Olympic swimming champion; and the Olympic diving champion, Judy Reichert. These two lady athletes worked with the girls, while the boy’s department was run by Tommy Farr, the famous center of the No Sox football team. The Home Economics department was run by Mary Bruns, who taught the girls to bake a cake and sew a fine seam. “Well, from my list, it looks as if we have a Gabriel II in this crowd-the well-known band leader, Knolan Benfield, standing near the gate with his trumpet under his arm. I also see the clarinet teacher, Jean Keaton, with her instru¬ ment under her arm. “Jeanette Gray, famous editor of the Newless Journal, has covered many great events during her career. Among them, the story of Steve Williams, and how he became Coach of the Year after a perfect season; the heart-warming story of how Margaret Seitz, a Red Cross worker, saved the lives of six people during the Catawba River flood; and the thrilling story of how Johnny Berry invented instant water to use with instant coffee. hile working in her lab on a cure for New Guinea jungle rot, Sylvia Fowler almost met with a disaster while lighting her Bunsen Burner. Scientist, Nancy Berry, working in the lab at that time, helped get everything under control. “Mademoiselle Doris Willets, who spent a great part of her life in France, after missing the boat to America in 1959, has done a wonderful job of conducting tours through the Mont-Saint- Michel. “My, this is a good-looking group: but nat¬ urally it would be with the beautv queens Vivian Amos, Miss America of 1960, and Jonnie Linger- felt, Miss America of 1961. They both wore even¬ ing dresses especially designed for them by the famous designer of New York, Miss Gay Davis. Miss Davis, who had her schooling at the Sor- bonne in Paris, has designed dresses for such out¬ standing people as the beautiful model, Jean Ann Wall; the broadway dancing star, Sharon Ivester; and the Metropolitan Opera star, Gail Brittain. “Lynne Branch and Donnell Smith, promi¬ nent librarians of Burke County, covered many miles with their bookmobile. They made weekly visits with their books to the plantation of Henry Beck, who was too busy raising tobacco to get into town. “Joe Ben Seagle was voted ‘Man of the Year’ in 2000 for his fine work in Boy Scouts, and during the same year, Philecta Clarke won a nation-wide Hula Hoop contest. I see from my list that the year 2000 was an important one for several other people. That was the year that Vernon Winters was elected governor of North Carolina. He was elected after a great campaign led by his campaign manager, Charles Wintzer, the outstanding public speaker of his state. Gov¬ ernor Winters and Speaker Wintzer were helped very much by their faithful secretary, Emily Barnwell. This same year, Howard Houck came in first in the Tail Pipe Derby and was assisted by his able mechanic, David Badar, who got his start at an early age puttering around with his little black car. The last, but not least, impor¬ tant happening in this year was the promotion of Marcia Dean to Treasurer of Drexel Furniture Company. She started handling money way back in 1959, when she was class treasurer. “I see from my records that Drexel was for¬ tunate in having some other members from this group. June Johnston worked her way up from office girl at Lazarus to office manager at Drexel. Sylvia Harris, with her pleasant voice, was telephone operator there for many years. One other member working for Drexel was Jerry B. Duckworth. He was one of their outstanding salesmen, and once in his travels, he ran into mechanic Jerry M. Duckworth, who repaired his differential at Greasy Garage. “Ann Barbour, the expert French interpreter at the United Nations, astonished the world with her book entitled Outside The Belgian Congo, which won her the Pulitzer Prize. “Joyce Ross, basketball player, substitute teacher, and artist, received much praise for painting the statue in the court house square in Morganton. “A wonderful work was done by a courageous team behind the Iron Curtain. Sally Smith, noted dietitian, headed the team. Other members were Pharmacist Dick Griffin, who, while over there, discovered Vitamin F for flat feet; the out¬ standing teacher, Sylvia Leonhardt, who ex¬ plained the American educational system; and soil expert, Billy Craig, from the University of Gravel, who took his tractor with him. This fine team was sponsored by the Voice of ACIREMA, which spells America backwards. “Congratulations, Jack Earley. I see that you finally succeeded in getting your own television panel show, I’VE GOT A LINE, and you had four mighty good panel members, too—Professor Dale Lybrand, better known to his students at Lybrand University as ‘Creep;’ Mr. Norman Wiseman, the famous expert on nuclear physics; Miss Maxine Grady, noted hair stylist, especially for red heads; and the famous freckled woman athlete, Miss Shirley Snipes. Your show was a great success because of the fine work of your crew—Wayne Hedrick, who was head camera¬ man; Nelson Causby, head of the lighting depart¬ ment; Dottie Tuttle, in charge of make-up; and Bobbie Robbins, who came up with unusual set designs. “I see that wealthy Jimmy Hairfield, who has made millions of dollars in the car industry, has given a big part of it to charity. His last car was the ‘LIGHTING BUG’ designed by the ex¬ pert Bill Browning, formerly a designer of ladies’ footwear. Bill was assisted by Sylvia Abee, who selected the fabrics and color for the interior. This was a small car and daring. Roy Murray was just the right size to test drive it. The first ‘LIGHTING BUG’ was sold to Carl Lane, leader of the Marine Corps Band, and he was the center of attraction with his unusual car. “Joyce’s Snack Bar, which was in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was operated by Joyce Poore, Joyce Grady, and Joyce Parton, three of the country’s experts in the culinary arts, was famous for Joyce’s Juicy Jumbo Burger. People came from miles around just to have a Juicy Jumbo Burger. Among them were Pat Stubbs, attractive gover¬ ness for Pat Bonne’s children; Philip Abernathy, the famous football coach of Michigan State; Becky Hawkins, of the Department of Internal Revenue in Washington; and the noted reporter, Frances Rhyne, who has covered gruesome mur¬ der stories all over the United States. “Captain Gerald Cox, pilot for Trans-Con¬ tinental Airlines, became famous fir his rescue work in the blizzard of 2002. Also famous for the help which they gave him are his co-pilot, Lieu¬ tenant Howard Kincaid, and his neat attractive stewardess, Jean Clark. “Martha Smith and Sandra Smith relieved the coughing of America with their invention and production of the Smith Sister’s Cough Drops. “Cough! Cough! I wish I had one now. “The summer months were a busy time for Charles Fox, who ran a camp for boys, called the ‘FOX HOLE.’ The swimming instructor was the national record holder, Alton Sims. The athletic director, Claude Pittman, produced some out¬ standing softball and tennis teams at the camp. “I see that New York City was the head¬ quarters for four attractive young ladies in this group. The graceful Peggy Williams made a big hit as a Rockette in the Radio City Music Hall. Betty Jo Carpenter and Edwina Moses owned and operated an exclusive dress shop on Fifth Avenue. Anne Parsons, the famous globe-trotter, ran her own travel agency on Broadway. “We have here with us, two of the world’s most talented photographers, Pat Nichols and Geraldine Ball, who just happen to have their cameras with them. So what about taking one past picture of everyone, Pat and Geraldine, as they enter the gates? But wait, there seems to be one missing. I wonder what happened to Betsy Hutchins???” (o)WkMZ)i ' iNty PnoJiie ioNS -Mij- 6 0 U 1—1 ! C 3 C D O l-’l f 1 v- !; - A Junior—magic words, no less!

As old Fathei Time has a curious habit of snatching from our memoiies the vivid details that make past experiences live in our hearts, there is a need for a reminder of even these wonderful, golden years at M. H. S. So it is to you, the students, that we have presented this annual. It is our wish that it will remain as one of your proudest possessions and dearest treasures always-and that, as you close this book, you will go out to truly live “happily ever after.
