Heretofore only administrative and instructional personnel and people who were retiring were the recip- ients of this honor. We wonder how a person of Mr. Rusmisell’s stature and remarkable efficiency could have been overlooked. No task has ever been assigned to him and the fine, experienced members of the maintenance staff under his excellent direction, that was not done exceedingly well and with incomprehensible speed. It makes one dizzy to think of all the varied and complicated jobs which must be done every day of the school year and during the summer to keep a place as large as NCSD in such an enviable condition. Nothing seems to cause this man and his staff any noticeable problem, however pressing or difficult. There must have been many times when they have said to themselves that an assignment was not impossible—only that it might take a little more time to accomplish. What more can be said? The Class of 1970 takes great pride in dedicating this 75th Anni- versary Edition of The Clock Tower to Mr. Fred Rusmisell. Because he is such a modest man, we feel sure that he would like to have his staff included in this dedication. Mr. Fred F. Rusmisell Mr. Paul B. Crutchfield was graduated from NCSD in 1938. Unfortunately for him, that was the year in which the former upper school building burned and the Gallaudet entrance examinations were destroyed along with many other valuable records. He and others of his classmates were, as was the custom, never given another chance to take the examinations. Thus, his opportunity to get a degree from Gallaudet College could never be realized. This, however, was no deterrent to Mr. Crutchfield’s ambition nor to his subsequent accom- ‘plishments. He spent one summer at, what was then, N.C. State Col- lege in preparation for teaching general shop and another summer at the Mergenthaler Printing School in New York City to further his education in the teaching of printing at which he became quite adept. He taught general shop to young boys and later taught printing for many years. The state is replete with deaf linotype operators, who were instructed by Mr. Crutchfield. He has also been an academic teacher and this year has taught a class in health and a number of classes in communication. His greatest contribution to young deaf males, most people feel, is in the field of scouting. In this field he is without peer. There is not enough space here nor are there adequate words to describe his accomplishments along this line. In one of the graduating classes this year all of the boys are Eagle Scouts. With much affection and boundless respect we dedicate this special annual to you, Mr. Paul B. Crutchfield. Mr. Paul Crutchfield The History of 75 Years at N.C.S.D. The Shree Superintendents Dr. E. McK. Goodwin ’ Dr. Carl E. Rankin Dr. Ben E. Hoffmeyer 1894-1937 1937-1955 1955-1970 Our school is unique in having had only three superintendents in its long history. The caliber of these men, however, accounts for the fact that the school has advanced steadily and has con- tinued to maintain its excellent reputation among schools for the deaf in our country. Each super- intendent has made his own valuable contributions. We deeply regret having to lose Dr. Hoffmeyer at the end of this school year. He is a man with foresight who has kept our school apace with the fast-moving innovations in the field of the education of the deaf. We shall sorely miss him but we know that, no matter where he is, he will continue to adhere to the dictates of his mind and heart aimed toward the betterment of the deaf of all ages.

During our junior year they had a lot of bright ideas about things to sell, but the ideas were not all they gave. They gave innumerable hours getting things ready and then helping us sell. They also gave us such excellent advice and original suggestions concerning last year’s Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance, that we beamed with pride at the many compliments we received. We only hope that we contributed our share in performing the many difficult tasks required of us. This year our trips to Florida and Georgia, which they made possible, will remain in our memories for a long time. We appreciate, too, the meetings they had with us and the many things we learned from them that we really needed to know. Thank you, Mrs. Patton, Mrs. Winchester, and Mr. Sherrill for making our last two years at N.C.S.D. such enjoyable and exciting ones. We should also like to express our appreciation to Mrs. Anne Starrett, Mr. Harold Brown, Mr. Arthur McKinney and Mr. Albert Mehl for the hard work they put out on the annual. s Jo Sponsors Wilson Sherrill 13 Dr. Ben E. Hoffmeyer You are the twenty-third, and the last, senior class that I have had the privilege of sharing the joys and sometimes tears of graduation. Every class has had its own unique characteristics but all have had the great spirit of the North Carolina School for the Deaf. Since I now consider North Carolina home, I know our paths will cross again. May each of your lives be filled with success, joy, and the rich rewards that you deserve so much.

It was Main Building located on the North Carolina School for the Deaf campus. The day was Graduation Day, and it was a happy day for boys and girls who would go out on their own. All of them later were to lead successful, happy lives. This is a story of one man who managed to discover the whereabouts of these boys and girls and write about them twenty years later. I began my series of travels with a hike in the Great Smoky Mountains. As I struggled up the steep, rocky trail, all of a sudden lightening flashed brightly and then thunder roared throughout the heavens. This was followed by a downpour of rain. It was so thick that you could have sliced it like a cake. I looked up to see if there were any chance of its stopping. Imagine my surprise when I saw Steve Warren perched on a cloud amid the thunder and lightning preaching from the Dead Sea Scrolls. He looked down and saw me and, in a kind but serious way, advised me to stop cussin’ like a treed coon. I promised him that I would try. Afterward, I came to the end of the trail which divided into two directions. Not knowing which trail to take, I decided to flip a coin. Heads was for the trail pointing north and tails for the one pointing south. I flipped the coin and tails was up. As I began my weary trudge on the southern trail, I smelled something very sweet mingling with the smell of burned pines. “Where there’s smoke, there’s food,” I thought. Soon I found the origin of the smell for I saw smoke curling out of an old rundown shack. I walked to the door and knocked. As I looked about nervously, my fist touched something that was soft and it went like this, “Honk.” I found myself eye to eye with the meanest-looking critter I had ever seen. He beck- oned me into the shack. As my eyes were getting used to the dim light, I noticed some jugs with triple X’s on them. Soon that mean-looking feller demanded that I tell him my name. Not wishing a fight, my knees had begun shaking, I told him who I was. Then he slammed me on the back, his teeth looking like an advertisement for Brite toothpaste. Well, well, well, it was good ol’ Jimmy Gibbs. He motioned me to a chair and gave me one of those jugs with triple X’s. My taste told me immediately that it was not “white lightning,” but milk. Jim told me that he was famous for his milk formula which had become quite popular with the young’uns in diapers. The reason he was down there was to get some peace and quiet in those woods. Now this explained his disappearance which I had read about earlier in the newspapers. We passed the time by telling each other all the news. Soon another character joined us. I was very much surprised when Jim told me that he was Lewis Suggs, a free lance photographer. Be- fore I could say a word, Lewis asked Jim if he could borrow his jeep so that he could get to San Francisco. Jim replied, ‘“Yep!” and then Lewis in- vited me to join him on the trip. You bet I agreed because I was tired of tramping all over those mountain trails. Then we were on our way. Later the jeep lurched to a stop and Lewis told me that we were in a hippie community and that he want- ed to take some pictures. I looked around me and saw a cluster of tepees, so I hopped out of the jeep just to see what a hippie community looked like. All of a sudden a tall feller popped out of nowhere. He was wearing hippie garb with a peace chain around his neck. He told me his name was Lovely Flower. Val Lowery! He was eyeing me because I looked like a tramp with all my clothing in shreds — even my handkerchief! I made a peace sign and told him that I wag someone who had been in his graduating class ‘way back. He mentioned numerous names and, when he came to the right one, I told him. He held out his arms in welcome and then told me he wanted to show me his home, one of the tepees. As I entered the tepee, my eyes nearly killed me as I surveyed all that wall-to-wall wild pop art. Val told me to look carefully and I made out a figure blending with all that color. I hollered and that thing could hear! I laughed when I discovered that it was Mary Beth Brandt. She had become a famous hippie artist and Val had hired her to do this wall-to-wall painting. When she had complet- ed her task, she told me that Lewis, in his haste, had forgotten me and had driven on; so she kindly offered me a ride in her bug. Again, I was on my way to San Francisco. I forgot to say that I bumped into Judy Foust walking out of a tepee in the hippie commune. Wow, what a sight! When I had last seen her, she was as skinny as a rail and now she must have weighed over 350 pounds. As the bug coasted into a movie studio, Mary told me we were in Hollywood and, before I could utter a word, she had opened a door and I followed her in. It seemed to be her studio and the floor was almost full of paint jars. Mary had been busy painting a mural. I left her to her work and decid- ed to look around on my own. I entered a studio where a movie was being made. It appeared as if a blizzard had struck the place. Then a prop man ap- proached me. I asked him to show me around. He told me that the movie being made was titled “Alone” and was about Richard Byrd’s conquest of the South Pole. The prop man hollered for more snow since the leading man’s fiery red hair was melting what was left on the floor. The owner of that red mop was Dickie Glover. I asked the prop man who the director of the movie was and he told me that it was Brenda Davis. I was surprised to hear that. I couldn’t say a word to either of them since both were absorbed in their jobs. I told myself that these two redheads were going to make this movie the biggest hit since “Ben Hur.” My hunch proved to be right because a few years later, when it was released, it really made the big- time. Then the prop man told me time was up and I had better leave the studio. My old classmate, Lee McDaniel, had surely done a good job of show- ing me around. Once I was outside, I told myself I should have my tattered, soiled clothes dry cleaned. I walked into a dry cleaning place. There stood Ray Rich! That little humble man had made his business so successful that he was even pressing the tuxedo of the President of the U. S. I walked down Broad- way Street, proud of my neatly pressed clothes which had once been fit only for a tramp, and that little man had generously stuffed my pants pockets with million dollar bills. I saw a 1919 model taxi crawling down the street. I stopped it and asked the driver if he could take me to San Francisco. I had barely gotten inside when this cabbie began driving like one of those infamous Tokyo cabbies. Out of sheer desperation I looked at the cabbie card on the dashboard. It was Donnie McLamb, of all people! Back at Hoffmeyer Hall his favorite topic had been how much horsepower a car could muster But I was too sick to complain since on some of the roads on the way to San Francisco he would just balance the car on one wheel at 175 m.p.h. on a 35 m.p.h. street. In what seemed a matter of seconds, we were in San Francisco. Still groggy from that heck of a ride, I gave the cabbie a one million dollar note and instantly, he was roaring back to Hollywood in that 1919 taxi. That ride left me swaying like a drunk. A hardy cop approached, grabbed me by my arm, and began to treat me roughly. I hollered, “Cop brutality!” Then my eyes caught the name label on his uniform. He noticed the surprised expres- sion on my face and asked me what was wrong. “Randy Caines, ya bum, it’s Donnie.” He dropped me in amazement and we were soon jabbering with each other. He told me that he was the owner of the Playboy Club down the street. You know how boys are! I was soon seated at the best table which Randy had immediately reserved for me. He had had to leave me, since he was still on his beat. I was astounded when I recognized Sherry Wilson as one of the playboy bunnies. A stocky character sat down beside me and began eyeing Sherry at the same time that I was eyeing him. His hair looked as if it were starched from millions of volts of electricity and he was dressed in b.v.d.’s, swimming trunks, and U.S. paratrooper boots. He turned and looked at me and I saw recognition in his eyes. He knew me, but I didn’t know him. He gave me a hint of being an ex-classmate when he ordered buttermilk for me and whiskey for himself. It was John Wayne Smith. He informed me that he was a reknowned professor at a university on Pluto and soon we were talking about the good old days. He told me that Kathy Eubanks did all his secretarial work for him on the typewriter, since she could type nearly 5 zillion words a minute on her battered typewriter. Sherry Honeycutt had become a fa- mous fashion designer and John was waiting for her to complete a whole new wardrobe for him. After I left the club, I decided to visit the area’s radio station. It was not far from the club and, when I entered the radio station’s waiting room, I walked up to a woman at a desk. I hoped to get fast service, and I surely did, since the woman was Frances Yeargan. She showed me the door to the studio of a famous disc jockey. I knocked and walked in and there sat Lester Lat- kowski. You may be surprised to know that he had also been a disc jockey at Hoffmeyer Hall during our senior year. I didn’t want to bother him since that big mouth of his was talking into the microphone. We only had time to exchange greetings. As a result I left the radio station and was walking along the ocean shore when I saw a beautiful white stallion with a Lady Godiva on it. I knew it was Anne Potter, since her hair made up for the lack of clothing. Then I looked out toward the horizon and saw three fat sailors in a tub. With the help of binocu- lars, which I found lying on the shores, I could make out the faces. The jolly one was Joyce Sigmon, the tiny one was “Midget” Louise Isen- hour, and the tall one was Flaine Wilkie. I learned that these three sailors were on the way home from their world travels. Before my travels were over, I saw Debbie Spencer who was now the President of NTID. She told me that Sandra Dixon had married a famous evangelist and Linda Gillespie was the President of the U.S. Later I was sitting on another dock in the bay. I looked over and saw Barbara Clewis sitting on a nearby dock biting her fingernails. Now I am back home and have been sitting here resting my bones and typing this tale of my travels. I had written this whole story on a dock somewhere on the shores of San Francisco. I was pleased to see that no harm had come to any of my friends. They had all been graced with wonderful blessings from God who had seen fit to watch over each of them. 4] 48 Mase Will By BARBARA CLEWIS The Class of 1970 of the North Carolina School for the Deaf do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: I, Mary Beth Brandt, donate my habit of whistling to Steve Rivenbark.
