We have tried to capture here some of ourselves, who we were, what we did, and what we gained.

First and foremost was the choice of a theme to be present- ed to the staff next fall. After much silent contemplation our adviser, Mrs. Harry Mintz, was struck with sudden inspiration. The watchbird! Mr. Leaf's watchbird! We remembered with pleas- ure the discussions you had led during the convention, and re- called the watchbirds with which you had illustrated your talks. The more we talked the better idea it became. Now, after we have been home several days, the watchbird theme has grown in both possibility and appeal. We should like very much to have your permission to use the watchbird. If there are copyright restrictions or royalties we shall be glad to pay any fee involved. I think our staff artist will be able to reproduce the watch- bird satisfactorily, and I feel that the watchbird himself would perhaps not be averse to the idea, as my name is Bird. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you very much.

C. L. MEISTER Chairman Vice-Chairman Ch. Elementary Ed. The youth-conscious school board has assisted in the expansion of New Hanover, not only in the main building, but in the shops. Board improvements this year included painting of building insides, addition of cafeteria and lab equipment and audio-visual aid machine, assistance in pur- chase of band uniforms and piano, and the establishment of the airplane mechanics department. As summed up by school superintendent Mr. H. M. Roland, “‘It is the policy of the Board to keep the science labs, library, visual educa- tion department, shops, physical education department, commercial department, and all classrooms supplied with the necessary paraphernalia to keep the school on a par with the best in the state. Many of these departments are out- standing in the nation and are known throughout the coun- try. No high school in the state has a more comprehensive program or is better-equipped than New Hanover High School. 3 L. T. LANDEN Chairman Insurance —E. A. LANEY JAMES S. CRAIG CYRUS D. HOGUE, JR.

DALE KIRK SPENCER Principal The genial coordinator of all New Hanover’s activities, whether large or small, Mr. Spencer maintained the respect and affection of both students and teachers. His ability to see through difficult situations and meet them with diplomacy and wisdom, his genuine interest in all the students’ activities, and his warm personality, which is the essence of our school spirit, have en- deared him to everyone. 10 Versatile vice-principal Is Mr. Melvin G. Stahl, who, a vital mainspring in the ad- ministration, has become completely identified with all student interests and activities. Whether it be the choice of a college or an auditorium reservation, Mr. Stahl was ready to assist everyone. and friendly deans The efficiency and cooperation of our deans were well-known to New Hanover students through much helpful advice and coun- sel about numerous problems, ranging from advance excuses to MR. MELVIN G. STAHL schedule changes. To all those who have been associated with our Assistant Principal ae deans—and the watchbird was a frequent standee in lines formed for advice—the names of Mrs. Harriss and Mr. Capps signify a personal interest in all their problems. MR. FRED CAPPS MRS. MEARES HARRISS Dean of Boys Dean of Girls 11 Efficiency typifies staff Miss Elizabeth Montgomery, Registrar Have you asked Miss Montgomery about your sched- ule? Does Miss Montgomery have any more bus tickets? Miss Montgomery, could | sign out now? These and a thousand other queries were met and handled with friendliness and efficiency by Miss Elizabeth Mont- gomery, registrar. Mrs. Zylphia Dickerson Daniels, Nurse Mrs. Daniels not only amply fulfilled her duty as nurse but often went beyond. Diagnosing students’ sudden complaints . . . applying bandages . . . administering medicine . . . Few students have not experienced her patience and wisdom in all matters of the infirmary. Mrs. Jane Davis, Secretary A welcome sight among inhabitants of Mr. Spencer’s outer office was Mrs. Davis, smiling cheerfully as she pounded out official letters, mimeographed the bulletin, filed program cards, and lifted morale in general, Miss Marie Schulken, Receptionist “Miss Schulken would know—she’s either in her office or the bookroom!” A daily echo repeated many times by searchers for lost books, debt-settlers for class rings, and prospective signers-out. Sprightly Miss Schulken helped all the perplexed and confused, whether newcomers or mis-placers, with wry good humor, and was highly appreciated. Mrs. Ruth Lodor, Dietitian Well-balanced meals were served daily in the cafe- teria, supervised by Mrs. Lodor, The students’ delight at the reasonable price and delicious quality of their lunch was evident in the large numbers of students who crowded the cafeteria both fifth and sixth lunches. Mr. William Arthur Moore, Custodian Be it a lost locker key, a collapsed window shade, or doubtfully existent stage-sets for the assembly program, Mr. Moore was sure to know just what to do; if pos- sible, he did it, to the gratification of students and teachers alike, 12 Mrs. Daniels Mrs. Davis Mr. Moore Indispensable helpers “Down in the back!’ ‘Heads in the window!” and with these admonitions to the homeward-bound bus students an- other line of orange buses rolls down 14th street with depend- able NHHS bus drivers at the wheels, on which sat the watch- bird for horn-blowing purposes. Cafeteria helpers busily work all morning to prepare delicious low-cost food available at fifth and sixth lunches. The watchbird enjoyed daily seed snacks he had wheedled good-natured cooks George and Jenkins into preparing for him. Quietly and efficiently the maids kept the school in order —the floors clean, the boards erased, and the furniture dust- less. With admirable enterprise the watchbird busily collected stray broomstraws for the nest he was construcing on the roof. Top, front row: Bus drivers. G. Westbrook, Bryant, G. Farrow, G. Hewlett.

Students learned practical math for everyday use in consumer courses; they learned to reason and follow rules in algebra and higher math courses; they received firm foundations for college and business. Our watchbird decided his favorite course was geometry, where he stole free rides on the board compass when the teacher wasn’t looking.

The Girls Glee Club and Mixed Chorus A and B dealt with music technique, while the R.O.T.C. Band and High School Bands A, B and C offered training in instrumental music. All music courses were good foundations for musical careers and for personal pleasure. Art students learned self-expression through art history and art appreciation. They made practical ap- plication of art principles, not only by working with paper, but also with clay, marionettes, and scenery. The watchbird was highly flattered when asked to model for posters one day by Miss Lossen’s classes: his broad grin grew noticeably wider for several days afterwards. Upper: Miss Lossen offers advice to portrait painter, as basket- weaver and papier mache artist wait for her attention. These handicrafts and many others taken up in art courses make them high in student popularity.

Fleet-fingered commercial students jotted down shorthand notes with flying pencils, rapidly typed, to the bewilderment of the watchbird, wno wondered why the keys didn’t collide, capably delved into the inner workings of office machines, and mastered all the abilities of top-flight clerks, book- keepers, and secretaries. Graduates of these courses were highly trained, and there were many job opportunities available. NOT PICTURED: Mrs. B. Tillery Typing Mrs. O. A. Bjonerud Dept. Head Machine Dicta tion Mrs. Xylda C.

Metalwork, Woodwork, Diversified Occu- pations, and Mechanical Drawing were a few of the courses offered by this department. Equipment and instructors of the best combined to make grad- uates of these courses in much demand. The watchbird abandoned these courses after he stood too close to a saw one day and narrowly escaped losing his tail, but the boys considered them among their favorites. NOT PICTURED: _Mr. B. J.

Seniors anticipating college were given a firm foundation in all subjects: those entering the ever-broadening world of business were adequately trained by the highly efficient commercial department; those seniors interested in trade were given splendid in- struction in all its phases by the industrial department, while students without definite plans were provided with liberal preparation. Thus our high school has equipped us with a thorough background; our students will lead better lives and become better citizens for having learned how at New Hanover. New Hanover seniors represent the futures for which our schoo! prepares them.

The Senate, com- posed of six representatives from each class and the class presidents, formulated bills, originated finance legislation, and worked with the House of Representatives for the gen- eral welfare of the student body. The House was composed of home room representatives, class vice-presidents, and headed by Joyce Hayes, student body vice-president. Both House and Senate were led by George Patterson, student body president, and served by Betty Lou Lamb, stu- dent body secretary. They worked closely with the cabinet, executive committee, and the judicial department. The watchbird was an enthusiastic participant in the spirited campaigns for student body officers; he chirped speeches, wore campaign ribbons, and hardly squeaked at all when he was mistaken for a thumb tack and pushed through his favorite candidate’s poster into the wall. The student body was intensely interested in both the elections and the elected. As leaders of the whole school, these officers were closely connected with its personality and activities, and as legislature heads they played a vital part in effecting improvements and helping to make the new con- stitution function more efficiently than ever. 26 ‘LEO ROBERSON President MARGARET CROWE Vice-President JO ANN MAULTSBY Secretary Fun-loving seniors Seniors, caught in a whirlwind of caps and gown meas- urements, senior play practices, calling card orders, senior step occupancy, college applications, and a battery of other duties and privileges peculiar to seniors, took everything in their stride and found time occasionally for other things. Led by class officers Leo Roberson, president; Margaret Crowe, vice-president; Jo Ann Maultsby, secretary; and senators Tommy Womble, Herman Postma, Mary Fisher, Linwood Robinson, Jack King, and Roddy Cameron, and class adviser Miss Texys Morris, they presented a successful senior play and were honored by junior-senior prom. They survived final exams in splendid condition, knowing they really were finals; they marched out first in assembly, to the amusement of the watchbird, dangling from the balcony. The superlative election was of major senior interest; the HANOVERIAN staff held a Roman banquet assembly program to introduce them, at which the watchbird, draped in a toga and nibbling grapes, felt very superior because he had peeked at the list and already knew who they were. The National Honor Society inducted twenty delighted seniors, making a total of thirty-three members. Other clubs elected officers, and seniors assumed more and more respon- sibility. Their senior year was a combination of plans for the future and memories o f the past . . . with eagerness, relief, and regret they were swept forward to May... to their own graduation, and after that to college, careers, and homes. 27 ADAMS, MARY HELEN Red Cross Representative 1; Future Home- makers of America 1, 2; Latin Club 1; Scrib- blers Club 1; Homeroom Chairman 2; Junior Play Committee 3; Band Majorette 4.

His smile became wider and wider as they struggled through the halls, up the wrong stairs, and into their classrooms. That freshman day was certainly a memorable one for them. The watchbird glanced pleasingly over the shoulders of Mr. Hamilton, their principal, as he welcomed all of them into the whirling, busy, wonderful midst of New Hanover High School. The watchbird eagerly introduced himself to all of the freshmen during the Freshman Frolic, and then took a back seat with the chaperones and enthusiastically previewed the dancing and the games. After the ballots of the freshman elections were counted, the watchbird personally congratulated the winning candidates Joyce Hayes, Julius Parker, and Mona Peterson. The first year in high school raced by; and when September, 1948 arrived, the students were all sophomores. Although he was not a de- claimer, the watchbird helped the teachers coach the contestants in the Declamation Contest and later presented the awards to the winners. How high the watchbird held his head as he marched on one of the cadet’s ROTC caps at formation, and how proud he was when a sopho- more was given extra recognition. The student body was becoming so large that Mr. Hamilton decided he needed someone to help him. Both the students and the watchbird were pleased with the selection of their assistant principal, Mr. Stahl. Jimmy Fountain, Margaret Crowe, Jo Ann Maultsby, and the watchbird showed us what fine leaders they were; and almost before the class had learned to spell sophomore, they were writing junior, and with a new principal to guide them, Mr. Dale K. Spencer. ui The junior play, ‘““Here Comes Charlie,’’ was a tremendous suc- cess, and the watchbird had a front seat during both performances. The class saw the watchbird at the junior-senior prom, dressed in a tuxedo as he served punch to the belles and beaux in the cafeteria. The gymnasium, which was decorated to resemble an under-water scene, could never have been more beautiful. The watchbird sharpened his pencils and took the final junior exams and passed with high marks. Joyce Hayes, George Patterson, and Hazel Bonham, the junior class officers, turned their reign over to Leo Roberson, Margaret Crowe, and Jo Ann Maultsby, the senior class officers, and George Patterson, Joyce Hayes, and Betty Lou Lamb, the officers of the student body. When the students returned to school in September, 1950, there was the watchbird again perched on the lamppost, but this time he watched them climb the senior steps as seniors instead of freshmen. What a thrill the watchbird received as he left the auditorium ahead of the underclassmen. The senior play was brilliantly presented; and, once again, the watchbird took his tuxedo out of moth balls, so that he could wear it to the junior-senior prom. With May flowers came graduation; and the watchbird did not try to conceal his tears in leav- ing New Hanover High School, with all of its pleasures, its teachers, and its friends.

Known by and knowing everyone, the in-between juniors were on equally good terms with all the classes. They struck a happy medium between play and sophisti- cation with their parties, productions, and projects. Their junior year brought their first class play, ““You Can't Take It With You,” directed by Mr. Alton Finch, with Beth White, Barbara Womble, Margaret Clark, Joe Hood, Al Gumb, and Kenny Nichols in leading roles. Profits went for the junior-senior prom, a record-breaking success. These productions were given helpful advice by Miss Margaret Williams, class adviser, and guided by class officers Barbara Hatcher, president; Barbara Wom- ble, vice-president; Eva Kefalas, secretary; and senators Thelma Barclift, lrene Emory, Pat Shipp, Shirley Council, Jimmy Ingram, and Virginia Harriss. Individual annual pictures boosted morale, though it little needed support, and they cheered vigorously at all the games and proudly received class rings. With the watchbird settled on the steering wheel for horn-blowing purposes, these happy-go-lucky juniors set out with wary mothers and dads to learn to drive, and they usually did... They prepared for next year’s responsibility by train- ing class members as juniors .. . Edith Borjes, annual rep- resentative, Nancy White, Frances Bellamy, Julian Rog- ers, and David Pace, junior social marshals, junior cheer- leaders Ann Bruce, Nancy Bruce, Kenneth Nichols and Barbara Hatcher, and all the athletes were worthy trainees. Their year ended with spirited student body and senior class officer elections, and juniors left school until their senior year. 64 Jean Ahrens Myron Allen Andy Andrews Grant Armstrong Sammy Bailey Thelma Barclift Gwendolyn Batts Jo Ann Bates Anna Batuijos Freddie Behrends Joyce Bell Frances Bellamy Alice Blake Jean Blake Freda Bland Robert Bland Betty Blanton Live Barbara Bordeaux Edith Borjes Ann Bowles Phyllis Boyles Bayne Bradley Earl Bradshaw W.

Class officers Susan Walker, president; Jean Fisher, vice president; and Maxine Schwartz, secretary were capable leaders in all class activities, assisted by Mrs. Georgia King Jenkins, adviser. The TWIRP dance was their major project, and it was enthusiastically received by everyone ... the watchbird was there too, but no one knew it. He was too shy to break the custom and ask a girl to dance . With many classmates promoted to 6th lunch and Wednesday assembly, sophomores assumed new duties, cheered more vigorously than ever at pep rallies and games, and saw more and more of their names turn up in the Wildcat. They were in the middle of school affairs, and they loved it. Senators Barbara Holt, Johanne Mc- Kee, Lucille Barden, Edgar Fisher, Patti Moore, and Diane Snakenburg, together with House members from homerooms represented the sophomore class in student government. Sophs felt their English period was well-used when they were herded into the auditorium to have annual pictures made ... Mr. Browning said “Look at the birdie!”’ in earnest, for there was the watchbird, perched on the camera and making faces at photographees. The sophomores wound up the year with class elec- tions, and left school, anticipating next year, when they would be upperclassmen. 73 with steadier wings Molly Adams Kenneth Alexander Marilyn Alexander David Alford Sally All R.

White Mary Wingard Annette Wooten Dorothy Yarborough Frosh fledglings, The freshman class again frolicked into New Han- over, seven hundred strong this year, with the wide-eyed wonder that only frosh can have. . . and mixed in with it this year was a beaming pride at being the last fresh- men to enter New Hanover; the next frosh class will go to new junior high schools. They plunged wholeheartedly into school life as they campaigned for elections; the halls were adorned with posters, and classrooms rang with speeches. The final results revealed that the class would be led by Pete Land, president; Roxana Mebane, vice-president; Karen Kurka, Secretary; and by senators Oscar Grant, Hattie Gray Kin- law, Patsy Parrett, Tommy Cook, Don Frost, and Jimmy Porter. Class activities were greatly aided by Miss Mary Warren, freshman class adviser. Their energy popped out again as they built floats for the school parade. As the watchbird viewed proceedings from the top-most framework and offered rarely taken advice, the freshmen went all-out for the homecoming parade. Frosh were represented by all the first year Latin clubs and homerooms 317, 308 and 106. The feminine frosh happily supported the TWIRP dance by inviting to the dance their favorite followers . and their cotillion activities were furthered by the Freshman Frolic. The freshmen’s delight at having individual pictures in the annual was equaled only by the sophomores’, and to demonstrate their approval most of them bought Hanoverians ... freshman team-supporters cheered especially hard in front of Roxana Mebane, class vice- president and energetic freshman cheerleader. The school’s youngest flourishingly finished the year with another vigorous election and eagerly awaited Next Year. 81 PETER LAND President ROXANA MEBANE Vice-President KAREN KURKA Secretary rather battled at. tirst, Shirley Adcock Bill Allen Janet Allen Billy Aman Ernest Anderson Geraldine Andersor Pat Arthur George Autry Barbara Austin Ethel Avera Glenn Avery Eleanor Bachelor Betty Ann Bailey David Barefoot Elizabeth Barefoot Shirley Barfield Elizabeth Barnhill Patsy Barrett Jennie Lee Bartlett Dixie Batchelor Pleasant Batson Eddie Battle Billy Batson Henry Batton Peggy Bellamy Martha Benton Loretta Berlin Joanne Blackburn Peggy Blackburn Bill Blackburn Dolli Blake Frieda Bland Annette Blanton Obbie Blanton Tommy Blanton Franklin Block Martha Boone Betty Ann Bordeaux Betty Bordeaux Foster Bordeaux Martha Bowden George Bowen Francine Bowers C.

Among the projects they sponsored were the homecoming parade and Freshman Day, the weekly We Honor column in the WILDCAT, the womanless wedding assembly program, the operation of the school store, the school’s Christmas decorations, sale of stationery, installation of more water coolers, and the holding of the Eastern District Student Council Congress convention in Wilmington. 128 SSP tp eesasgay Co-ordinating Committee Left to right: Virginia Harriss, Evelyn Bergen, Frances Bellamy, Marvin Davis, Tommy Womble, John Hicks, Jimmy Ingram. in double-duty democracy The watchbird founda happy post while sitting in on the co-ordinating committee meetings; their activities constituted the ‘“so-between”’ between the House and the Senate, and that was just what he liked to do. Under the guidance of Mr. Brown, the co-ordinating committee decided whether the importance of various bills merited an entrance into the other house and worked closely with legislature, as it tried to pro- mote better student-faculty cooperation.

The only such nursery in the state, it has proved its worth in help- ing high school students understand themselves through the study of young children. The daily routine consists of alter- nate play, rest, and educational group activity. Be it diagnosis, sympathy, or bandages, the infirmary girls amply supplied it as they presided over the infirmary each period, assisting Mrs. Daniels.

Drama addicts transformed stage ... from the ordinary auditorium to a wonderland of curtain calls and cues, scripts and scenery, and actors and abracadabra. Activities of the Thespians included studying various stage props, doing radio programs with the radio forum, making up actors for student productions, being student directors, having programs featuring various speak- ers, and presenting an annual play. On Opening Night the watchbird eagerly swung from the balcony railing to witness the big production. Suspense... laughter... action... and the watchbird held his breath as the Junior Play began, under the expert direction of Mr. Alton Finch. Beth White was scatter- brained, play-writing Penelope Sycamore to perfection, whose weird family life was more than enough plot material. Harris King was Martin Vanderhof, who calmly disbelieved in income tax and aroused inspector Julian Rogers to Official Action. Margaret Clark as Alice Sycamore, fell in love with the boss’s son, Al Gumb, and the plot thickened with the objections of his parents, Doris Scott and Richard Rogers as Mr. and Mrs. Kirby.

Performances at Rotary, Civitan, and other civic club luncheons, at county grammar schools, at the Azalea Festival Community Sing, in assembly, at the music festival at Greensboro, and finally of the operetta ‘““Waltz King” by Strauss won the acclaim of both students and townspeople.

Dynamic individualists — Football, 1950 . . . the watchbird vigorously cheered the Wildcats in their victorious pre-con- ference tilts, held his breath during the first trium- phant conference games, sighed bitterly as the Wildcats lost to archrival Durham 13-21, and smiled again as the Wildcats placed third in final tabulation of state teams. Defeating Raleigh for the first time in eighteen years two years ago, we did it again this year with a 46-6 trouncing. Biggest thrill of the season was the 14-0 defeat of Fayetteville, with Niven’s aerial to Outlaw for the first TD against the eleven, followed by Grant's conversion, and Outlaw’s 20 yard sprint for the second TD, also followed by Grant’s conversion. The Wildcats are proud of their high-scoring season, with a total sum of 321 points against their opponents’ 64. Harold Goodson, 33, and Claude King, 36, tried in vain to intercept that pass; but the majority of the time they took the ball from the other team. 152 chalk up victories Top, left: Waterboy wheels in astonishment as Harold Goodson catches a lateral and heads for the goal.

Brains, brawn, A high powered offensive attack set in a background of sparkling defensive play carried the 1951 Wildcat basketball team to the Class AAA State Championship—the club’s greatest accomplishment since the ’47 season. Under the able supervision of Coaches Leon Brogden and Jap Davis, the Orange and Black hoop warriors hung up a season’s record of 19 victories out of 21 games played. The team captured their third straight Eastern conference title by bowling over 11 foes while losing one league scrap to Rocky Mount. The Wildcats then whipped Asheville, Durham and Raleigh in the finals of the state meet held at Duke University. The com- paratively easy win over the Caps provided the Wilmington cagers with their first State crown since NHHS crew topped Greensboro here for the championship in the ’47 campaign. Coach Brogden’s short but fast-moving quint opened the season by beating Lumberton 88-42 there .. . the ’Cats had a sizzling 49% in this fracas . the lowest ebb was reached when they hit but 25% of their chances in losing to Rocky Mount 43 to 40... . 1403 points in Speedy Charlie Charlie aver- In all, the Wilmington contingent connected for the 21 tilts—an average of 66.8 for the season .

Five-foot-eight-inch Cecil Heath was the mainspring in the often- overlooked defensive work of the New Hanover five Wilming- ton opponents scored 754 points during the regular season, and added enough to make it 902 through the tournament Little Vic Batson deserves a lot of credit for his contribution to the team’s success and this should certainly apply to Florenz Worrell, who saw considerable action during the long grind . . At times forward Jere Hilburn supplied some needed spark, but “Toothpick”? had the unfortunate luck to fou! out or nearly so just when he seemed to get started. Numerous honors were heaped on the great 51 edition of Wildcats . . . Niven and Hales were picked on a couple of All-State teams, as well as the All-Tournament five, and Heath joined these two stalwarts in gaining berths on several All-Conference selections . Niven set a new individual mark of 71 points at the state meet. In closing, it is safe to say that the New Hanover Wildcat cagers of this season created quite a lasting impression in basketball circles around the old Tar Heel State Good luck to the next season’s aggregation!

The 1950-51 JV’s battled to flaming glory with 17 wins and 3 losses. Camp Lejeune, last year’s class AA champions, trounced our fighting JV’s twice, once scoring the highest number of points (74-34) ever made against the “Wild Kittens.” Raleigh took the other honor of defeating them. Sonny Jurgenson, Georgé Gaddy, and Donald Morton, coming cagers for the Varsity, helped Bill Speacht’s boys rack up a team-scoring average of 52 points per game. Coach Speacht had some hard moments in the return game with Raleigh. His boys were trailing up to the fourth quarter. At the start of the final period, the JV’s were tied with their rival. They took the game 42-35 over Raleigh. Excellent coaching, good teamwork, good sports- manship, and spectacular playing made our Junior Varsity a team of which to be proud. 157 Front row: Fritz Oertel.

An honor battalion since its organization in 1937 and the only Junior R.O.T.C. battalion in the state, the New Hanover R.O.T.C. unit has won and main- tained the respect and admiration of the school. The cadets’ classroom instruction was complete militarily, including Military History, Military Teach- ing Methods, Maps and Aerial Photographs, First Aid, Combat Formations, and the construction of different individual weapons which are used in combat. The cadets drilled during Monday classroom periods and on Friday an inspection of the companies was held. Honor cadet inspection was also held on Friday. Company rivalry and individual competition were stimulated by these inspections, and notices of the times cadets received honor cadet or distinguished honor cadet were filed for future use in the selection of officers. The R.O.T.C. course extends over a_ three-year period, and the cadets receive a half-unit. of credit for each year they take R.O.T.C. The company sponsors were chosen from the Senior girls and participated at formation and during parades. The watchbird’s military enthusiasm was tripled one week when the battalion voted him honor mascot and gave him a special medal to wear.
