To memories sweet our thoughts returning Fill every heart with nameless yearning. How swiftly have those seasons fled Which once we looked upon with dread, But now to us the future calls And we must leave these pleasant halls. In future years we shall not falter. No trials which we meet can alter The faith with which we face the years That lie ahead. In time, the tears Which now we shed will be replaced By toughts which cannot be erased. To mighty tasks our country calls us. May we prove true what e’er befalls us. Grant us that we may ever find A niche wherein to serve mankind. Then shall the faith of those who guide Our footsteps now be justified. Now as commencement day draws nearer, Each memory to our hearts is dearer. The time has come when we must part. With steadfast hope and valiant heart Our motto all our lips are chiming “Not to the heights, but still we're climbing.” WILLIE BaxTER, Class Poet el ee ee i eee Ee HISTORY OF 1945 SENIOR CLASS On that fair day in July 11 years ago, into the school rooms of the three North Brooks came the little tots that were to make the present Senior Class. Some of them were filled with joy, others with sorrow that they had attained the age when school should claim them. We were scared and bashful for a while, but we soon got used to one another and everything went fine. We were starting our training that was to be our basis for life. In the later part of grammar school the boys began to see that the girls were not such bad sports after all, and our puppy love began. When the classes of the three North Brooks were promoted to the eighth grade, we combined at North Brook High School to start our high school career. We threw away our playthings and really got down to work. Our freshman and sophomore years were uneventful. One of the outstanding events of our junior year was the Jun- ior-Senior Banquet. We also received our class rings. Everyone was thrilled over wearing this emblem of achievement. We took great pleasure in the Junior play entitled, “A READY MADE FAMILY,” directed by Miss Betty Sue Heavner,. Although we were carefree and unthinking of the future, we were paving the way for our final year in high school. We now begin our last year of high school. Only 21 of us re- turned to complete the task we set out to do 11 years ago. One of the outstanding events of our senior year was the Senior Play en- titled, “AND MARY DID,” directed by our senior class sponsor, Miss Heavner. As we are finishing this last year of school, we are seriously thinking of our future. No doubt most of the boys and ' probably some of the girls will be in service, but when peace again reigns over the world, we will have our many branches of life to fill. We were very sorry to lose one of our boys during our senior year. He went to help preserve the peace that so many of our boys are fighting for, and so we will be able to live in peace and out of the dark shadow of war. As we come today to write the first chapter in the life history of each of us, it is with the expectation that members of our class will make noteworthy contributions to our present and future gen- erations. We are certain that the youth of America which graduates today will have an important part in the preservation of the Amer- ican Way of life. We can only say that the first chapter has been written. We know that as the years go by this event of graduation from high school today will be listed many times among the noteworthy achievements of a life of usefulness. We hope it may be the be- ginning of the life’ history of a long and illustrious carreer. BOBBY FOSTER, Class Historian een eee Ne Se ewe PROPHECY I am not posing myself as a crystal gazer nor as one who has any particular knack in the business of forecasting future events, neither am I very superstitious, but I am superstitious enough to rely upon what I have been told by a mystic Soothsayer concerning the future careers of my fellow classmen. Thus, with what this soothsayer has related, in addition to the little knowledge I have about their aims and desires, I shall do my best in predicting what the future holds in store for each of them. First, I see the large modern office of a big banker in New York. Edith Sain and Eva Sue Taylor have secured positions in this office, where Sue has risen to manager and Edith is her assistant. They say Edith is to marry the banker’s son soon, while Sue is engaged to one of his employees. Wonder why everyone has his radio on at 8:15 a. m.? Oh! I see. They’re listen- ing to Muriel Beam’s program. Her favorite hobby at North Brook was singing, and it surely has taken her places! She is now a famous radio star. Brrr! What a cold country Alaska is! But Edwin Foster and Hubert Peeler have proved, as geologists, that there is more to Alaska than merely an “ice box”. Quite frequently we hear flashes over the radio and read reports in the papers about their wonderful explorations of new regions in search of gold. My! Christene Leatherman has accomplished things! She is a great educator now, for she holds the position as Dean of Women at the University of Pennsyl- vania. Christene, we’re proud of you. Joan and W. C. are now enjoying married life in their nice little home near Lincolnton. Joan puts in all her time being a good housewife, while W. C. works as manager of the A. P. in Lincolnton. It seems that Elizabeth Huss’ typing practices at North Brook were in the right direction, for she kept at this work, and now holds the distinction of being the world’s champion typist. Elizabeth has increased her speed to 152 words per minute. Nice work, “Lib.” Johnny and Pearl Leatherman have proved that being furriers is a grand career. They have set up a business of their own in Trenton, N. J., where they im- port only fine furs. Folks say they certainly bring in the cash from these furs. My! how beautiful the interior of our North Carolina homes have become—and no wonder! Connie Towery is a famous Interior Decorator. Of course, there are other such decorators in the state, but Connie always has her hands full, because, for some reason, folks say they prefer her above all the others. In his large laboratory in Baltimore, Maryland, Bobby Foster is busy working on a new scientific discovery. He is really doing his part in carrying on the battle of men against microbes. Already, we have been hearing about some of his work, but to the next generation, his name will be as familiar as Pasteur’s to us. There in the recital hall of the Duke University, a debate is well under way. It seems that debating on postwar planning takes the day, now, and Betty Sue Heavner is the leader in all these debates. She has no difficulty in preparing a speech on any query. Her experiences in debating in High School are a real benefit to her! The Trans-Pacific Airway can understand very well why they have more passengers (especially young men) since Geraldine Baxter is the stewardess on one of the planes. Geraldine is known far and wide, and her pleasing personality has won her many friends. The “Romeo” of North Brook is still the “Romeo” through life. Colonel T. G. Lackey is at home now on a 21-day furlough, and believe me, all the girls go for him! He has been serving overseas for 11 months, and when his furlough is up, he will report in Miami for reassignment. The next place I see is Hollywood. There in their studio Madlene Peeler and Nina Cline are rehearsing some scenes for their latest movie, “Nothing Like Love.” This movie is the biggest hit of the day! What could this queer noise be? It sounds like huge waves beating against the hull of a ship. That’s exactly it! One of our greatest battleships is undergoing a dangerous mission on the Pacific. But don’t worry, Billy Houser, the commander, will bring it through. Bill’s daring deeds have brought him much fame. Last, I am brought back to North Brook. I wonder why? Oh, yes, Willie Baxter is the present English and French teacher there. She is about to give a final exam to the Senior Class of 1952. WILLIE BAXTER, Class Prophet bed LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT .We, the Class of 1945, consisting of 20 individuals, all being of sound and dis- posing mind and memory, and not acting under fraud, duress, menace, or the un- due influence of any person whatsoever, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former will or promises by us at any time heretofore made. 1. To our class-room teacher, Miss Betty Sue Heavner, the profound admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1945. 2. I, Willie Baxter, will my love for study to Ruby Houser. 3. I, Geraldine Baxter, will my friendly ways to Dorothy Leatherman. 4. To Serita Bess I, Joan Beam, leave my popularity. 5. I, Muriel Beam, will my singing ability to Dot Leatherman. 6. I, Nina Cline, will my jolliness to Helen Willis. “7. I, Betty Sue Heavner, will my all-around qualities to Evelyn Parker. 8. To Edna Parker I, Elizabeth Huss, will my typewriter. 9. I, Christene Leatherman, will my lady-like ways to Norma Sain. 10. I, Edith Sain, will my quietness to Mehitable Beam. -11. To whomever they will fit, I, Eva Sue Taylor, will my nice dresses. 12. To Muriel Norman I, Madalene Peeler, will my beauty. 13. I, Connie Towery, will my meek, quiet disposition to Jessie Earwood. 14. I, Bobby Foster, will my A’s to Dean Tallent. 15. I, Edwin Foster, will to Gene Tallent my love to play the piano. 16. I, Billy Houser, will my books to whoever will have them. 17. I, T. G. Lackey, will to Paul Gantt my title, Most Handsome. 18. I, Hubert Peeler, will to Gerald Baxter my love for sports. 19. To Kenneth Wehunt I, W. C. Wehunt, leave my popularity. 20. I, Pearl Leatherman, will my quite, courteous ways to Blair Wesson. 21. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our Principal and Teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us; they will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interest in their attempts and successes; the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the Class of 1946 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loathe to hand over to them. We do hereby constitute and appoint our Principal, Mr. Robin N. Wooten, sole executor of this our last will and testament of the Class of 1945.
