Page Seven HISTORY OF CLASS OF ' 47 Libby Mabry — Histori To give the events of our class we cherish most dear, we shall just give you some of the dates from our diary. August 26, 1935 — From cradle days, we had longed for the day to come. The day had come! The time had come for us to start to school. Some of us were freckled- faced and snaggled-toothed. Still others had pig-tails. We weren ' t our mama ' s babies anymore. August 27, 1935 — Kenneth Poplin got the first spanking. Did he really need it? Let ' s see if he ever got another one. December 19, 1936 — Now that we were in the second grade we felt more like students. On this date we gave our first chapel program. It was a Christmas play. Reid Mabry was Santa Claus. February 14, 1938 — Miss Yates gave us our first Valentine party. We will remember that party for our first romance started then. Do you remember the valentine Boyd Hopkins sent to Mildred Bowers? November 21, 1938 — Could you picture us as the main characters in the opera, Three Bears? Miss Atwell certainly made us be quiet behind stage. August 28, 1939 — The time had come for us to be in the fifth grade. It really was swell to be in the grammar grade building. Both boys and girls started playing softball. Of course the girls were much better players than the boys. April 3, 1939 — Pauline Hopkins was making the highest grades in our class. We were told to study like she did. Do you think we took the advice, or is she still making the highest grades? April 21, 1940 — Marvin Thompson, Jr.. made the highest grade in our class on a state exam. We were real proud of him, and we hoped that he would continue to be smart. November 21, 1941 — Anna Belle Cooper and Robert Fowler were kept in after school. They talked while the teacher was out of the room. Thank goodness, all of us weren ' t bad. March 12, 1941 — We had the honor of being in another operetta. The name of it was Tom Sawyer. James Lee Wright was Tom. He really made a swell character. April 26, 1942 — We were all promoted to the eighth grade that day. Wouldn ' t it be wonderful to be in the high school next year? The girls could start wearing lip- stick! September 4, 1942 — What a disappointment! We didn ' t get to go to high school. They decided to let the eighth grade be in the grammar grade building. Still another disappointment was that we found out we had to take twelve grades. Some of us would be gray and aged when we finished now. April 23, 1942 — The class lower than we challenged us to a ball game. We were a happy bunch of winners. Gerald made two home runs. October 30, 1943 Lucy Jane Goodman and Stacy Deese were king and queen of the Hallowe ' en Carnival. This took place when we were in the ninth grade. February 26, 1945 — Sophisticated Sophs, as we were called, celebrated in the Home Economics Department by hav- ing a chicken stew. We all remember Marvin Jr. having to propose to Betty. Woo-woo, what fun! December 3, 1945 — This was a sad day for us. One of our classmates ' homes was destroyed by fire. We all gave our sympathy to Boyd Hopkins. October 3 1, 1945- Some of us participated in the basketball tournament. These include Jo, Mildred, Libby, Gerald, Reid, and Robert. April 5, 1946 — Being Juniors now, we gave our first three- act play. We were a little frightened at first, but everything came out all right. It was really fun to put on our Junior play, Spring Fever. April 26, 1946 — We were hostess to the senior class of ' 46 at a banquet. The planning and fixing for it will always be remembered. This completed our history up to our senior Near. There were many important events then. I will let Mildred tell vou about them. Signed: Libby Mabry. is — Mildred Bowers August 26, 1946 Oh, what an exciting day this has been!! Twenty-one of us make up the Senior class. We could hardly realize that this was our last year in high school. Finally, we settled down to a class meeting and elected officers. Robert Fowler, president; Gerald Hutchinson, vice-president; Jo Mabry, secretary; Betty Shankle, treasurer. Our colors are blue and white ; class flowers, rose and forget-me-not. For a motto we selected Am- bition has no rest! It ' s all too wonderful for words. A Dignified Senior at last! September 5, 1946 — Good News! Our class rings were in the depot! Remember what Mr. Short told us — Wait until tomorrow to get them. Of course, you all re- member that we waited — until 5th period ' that same day and by that time we had all borrowed enough money to get them or gone home after it one. Remem- ber the yelling and singing we did — almost enough to raise the roof! October 4, 1946 — Mrs. McNeill gave the class a party in her home. We sang, played games and had a wonderful time - especially when it came time to eat. November 1, 1946 — We were one night late having our Hallowe ' en party at Mrs. Bowers ' — but we had fun galore. We played pranks on each other and really enjoyed doing it. November 22, 1946 — The big day finally arrived to give our Senior play, There Goes the Bride, after weeks of hard work and practice. We enjoyed putting it on since it was a great success. After the play Marvin Thomp- son and Mildred Bowers gave the class a party at the home of the latter. November 25, 1946 — We, the Seniors of N. H. S., were invited to a surprise birthday party for Libby Mabry. Every- one had fun, especially Boyd and Marvin. November 27, 1946 — Remember the second night we gave the play, There Goes the Bride. Betty Shankle gave us a reception after it down at her home. December 20, 1946 — We started our two-week ' s Christmas holiday. December 23, 1946 — Monday night, we gathered together to enjoy ourselves. Our gradeparents met with us in our sponsor ' s home. We started the night off eating and ended it the same way. Speaking of fun, we had plenty that night. January 6-10, 1947 Delmar Studios sent a representative to our school to make pictures for our school annual. Most of us Seniors had few classes that day because we were kept busy helping get everyone ready to have their pictures made. January 27, 1947- Seniors met in the Home Economics Department and had a chicken stew honoring a new member, John Ray Mabry. Everyone had fun yelling Knit one, purl two, Yoo Hoo. Afterwards bingo was played with prizes for the winners. January 31, 1947 - Bill Capel, president of the Junior Class, came to our homeroom with small envelopes in his hands. These notes were invitations to the Junior- Senior Banquet. Never can we forget the trick they played on u s about that tea in the library, and the idea of the majority of us Seniors falling for it. February 14, 1947 — Topic of conversation around school for weeks was the Junior-Senior Banquet, and finally the day arrived for all the girls to get their hair fixed and the boys to dress in their Sunday best. Then at seven o ' clock we all met in the banquet hall to enjoy the evening. Again we wish to thank the Juniors for such a lovely and delightful evening. April 7, 1947 — We were given Easter Monday for a holiday, and we all needed one. May 20, 1947 — Senior Class Night. This is a sad occasion in some ways, but in many ways it is a wonderful night. Just to think of the many things we have done in our high school life; the many pranks we have played on our teachers and classmates, the many things we should have done that we didn ' t. We, the Seniors, have enjoyed our school life a great deal. Thanks to those who helped make our school days happy. May 21, 1947 — One of the greatest days in our life! We received our diplomas and were out in the world on our own. Signed: Mildred Bowers. Page Eight JUNIORS Leon Snuggs Charles Byrd Dorothy Blalock Bobby Simpson Page Nine CLASS PROPHECY Gerald Hutchinson— Prophets— Jewell Randall Listen, oh ye ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys and little children. Listen all ye people of Norwood to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophets. We now take a trip on our magic carpet. Rise, magic carpet advance us five years and bring us to the year of 1952. Show us where our dear classmates will be. With our magic binoculars we can see through even the thickest concrete walls. Look, I see our only blonde-haired boy of the Senior Class. This is none other than Robert Fowler. He is in Duke University studying to be a doctor. We are sure he will succeed and be one of the greatest. I look again, and I see a large gym and a large crowd. Everyone has turned out for the Final Basketball Tourna- ment between the two great colleges. The coach for the girls is none other than Jo Mabry. What? Yes, it ' s true, another Mabry. Libby, better known as Red, or Miss Norwood High. She is a ' druggist in Winston-Salem where she ' s making both fame and fortune in her chosen profession. There ' s Marvin Thompson, Jr., the editor of The Ram- bler. Our carpet flutters. It is uncertain. Is he a great journalist or is he the President of The First National? Following him we see him seat himself at an editor ' s desk in Time ' s Square, New York City. Though you were dying he ' d make you laugh. That ' s one of our bus drivers, Kenneth Poplin, Soggy to us. He ' s progressing along nicely as civil engineer at present engaged in constructing paved roads of all the school bus routes in Stanly County. No longer can the excuse be, We got stuck in the mud. Here is Leona Matthews whose ambition was to be a house-wife. She has a great possibility because she already is a good cook, having served for several years as head of the school lunch personnel at Norwood. Here is Winson Hannah, who is an overseer in Collins and Aikman where he is a big success. Again the carpet flutters, but it manages to bring out dimly but surely the prophecy. Now we see Bobbie McSwain riding a new Farm-all tractor, a farmer representing the back-bone of our nation, helping to feed America. The next person to appear before the prophet is Boyd Hopkins. We see him as he stands before a great congre- gation of people in the city auditorium of Chicago, pointing them to the higher things of life. We wish him great suc- cess in his future oratorical work as a platform lecturer on timely topics. Another Hopkins, but it ' s a girl Pauline, the fair lady of the day, is seen by the prophets after she has finished her business training and is doing the work of a private secretary to the president of the United States. Gerald, of all things, I see you — What a man! Look at that new Pontiac you have. It ' s a wonder. He has almost finished his doctor ' s training and will soon hang out the shingle; Dr. Hutchinson, Heart Specialist. Jewell, who is that nice looking guv that ' s escorting you down the street? You ' re working in a bank From all we hear, wedding bells will ring soon. Don ' t get alarm- ed. Remember, folks, that ' s in ' 52. Well, if it isn ' t Ruth Atkinson who graduated from Appalachian State College, and who is now a historv teacher in Magellan High School, Miami, Florida. Now Carl Hathcock, an ex-sailor, our six-foot-four of the Senior Class of ' 47 comes into vision. He ' s married now to his girl of the Junior Class. ™ r °J} ' l Betty Shankle working as a hair stvlist for M-G-M, Hollywood. What a cowboy. This is none other than John Ray Mabry. our ex-soldier. He loves Texas, but where is the cow girl? Look out. It will be a crash. No, it ' s none other than Anne Cooper coming in on her new Ford. It ' s a beauty! She travels at fast speed in order to serve her mam- patients who call her their beloved Dr. Cooper. Next is Mrs. Rendy Blalock, Lucy Jane to us. We know she will be a success in her married life; that her house by the side of the road will be a friendlv house. Now we catch a glimpse of that house with Lucv standing in the doorway welcoming callers who are none other than Seniors of ' 47. Wake up, that ' s James Lee Wright, sleeping on his job, just like he did in school. Now he is a great singer with the Metropolitan Opera and is a very happy man in his musical career. Here ' s another Mabry, but it ' s Reid. He ' s a successful business man in Charlotte. He owns and manages the most up-to-date men ' s haberdashery. Last, but not least of the girls is Mildred Bowers, and she does look wonderful. She is a medical secretary for a grand Doctor in John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. There is our last boy of the Senior Class, the twelfth boy. He ' s ex-sailor, Frank Wright, who held us spell bound as he related his travels in World War Two. We see him commanding a great merchant ship on his way to Shanghai, China. That ' s all, folks. Down, magic carpet, take us to 1947, to our beloved Seniors on the dear stage of Norwood High. POEM By Anna Belle Coopek We the Seniors of forty-seven Through the classes of one and eleven Spent our time in laughter and fun Until we realized our careers had begun. Now, pure as the rose we try to be, That all our underclassmen may see. Today as the years before us roll. We ' re trying to reach the highest goal. CLASS SONG (Tunc: Just a Prayer Away) By Boyd Hopkins As the waves before us roll, It makes us think of our dear guides. They have led us through thus far, And we ' ve almost reached our goal. We are Seniors now. but it won ' t be long ' Till our guides will give us our boats; Then our hearts will sing, For it means one thing: We ' ll be ready to start our career. As the waves before us cease, We can say the words Well Done.

Bullock Page Eleven STATISTICS We will now present a few facts and figures concerning the present Senior Class. Naturally, we think this class surpasses all previous senior classes in all ways. Since figures speak for themselves, we shall prove that this assertion is true. Sometime during our Junior year Herff-Jones Company sent a representative to have our fingers measured. Well, we knew we all had a big hand but didn ' t know our fingers were size 167. That shows the mighty strength of the Senior Class of ' 47. Someone said we could whip General MacArthur ' s army. Think so? Then again Herff-Jones sent us a measuring tape to get us all set for caps and gowns. Gee!! Did we have the thrill of our life — to think we were actually going to get to wear caps and gowns at last. They found our chest to be exactly 767 inches. Wow! Would ' t we make a good foot- ball player? It would be rather hard for us to find a cap to fit us with a head size 153. We have to wear a home- made cap, or a kerchief! With the weight of 2,926 pounds we could smash out all these strikes we are having and then live an easy life. We took a hike the other day and found out it didn ' t take us very long to walk to Albemarle because our shoe size is 171 — Quite a bit of territory! Our romance is rather dull because who wants to hug a Senior that has a waistline of 584 inches . . . Someone would be a Huggin and a Chalkin !!! We are as tall as a giant if not taller. We only go up in the sky 126 feet and 11 inches. Duck from those air- planes, mates! Last of the statistics is our age. May I quote Robert Browning saying — Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be — Well! our wisdom grows with our age. And with the age of 367 years young we are quite bright students. The above facts and figgers speak for themselves. In concluding the statistics, I should like to state the Senior Class of ' 47 has been quite a model since the first day we entered school in 1935. The teachers have looked upon us as very intelligent people — Well! Who wouldn ' t? The class as a whole is above average and with its knowledge the Class of ' 47 will be leaders of tomorrow! SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Seniors of Norwood High, being of sound mind and in the presence of witnesses, on this the twenty-first day of May, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament: 1. We leave to the school, Venetian blinds and draperies for the auditorium. We hope the students enjoy them. 2. We leave to Mr. Short, our dear principal, our sincere appreciation and gratitude for his patience with us and for all his helpfulness in correcting our minor mis- takes during our school days. We can never forget him. 3. To the Faculty, we leave our deepest appreciation for their guidance during the past years. 4. To the Gradeparents we leave our admiration and appre- ciation for the many things they have done for us in our Senior year. 5. To the mascots we leave appreciation for the part they have played in our class activities and the splendid way in which they did it. We hope that they may find some- one who can do as well when they become Seniors. 6. We leave to the Seniors of 1945 and 1946 our appreci- ation for the first publications of our school annual. 7. To the Junior Class, we leave our position as Seniors of Norwood High School, and may they fill it well! 8. Betty Shankle leaves a few extra pounds to Miss Mary Evelyn Lowder. 9. Jewell Randall leaves her notoriety for receiving tele- phone calls to Aileen Mclntyre. 10. Libby Mabry leaves her red hair to Faye Holton and her famous sneeze to Jane Barringer. 11. Kenneth Poplin leaves his unruly hair to Wayne Duke and his dry wit to Bob Hathcock. 12. James Lee Wright leaves his great knowledge of French to Leonard Sims. 13. Mildred Bowers leaves her vim, vigor, and vitality to Thelma Blalock. 14. Jo Mabry leaves her ability to play basketball to Dorothy Hopkins. 15. Annabelle Cooper leaves her ability to excel in algebra to Mary Jewell Jenkins. 16. Robert Fowler leaves his capacity to lead the Senior Class to some poor Junior. 17. Reid Mabry and Frank Wright would just like to leave. 18. Leona Matthews leaves her Economics book to Mar- garet Hester. 20. Mrs. McNeill leaves the 780 book reports written this year to the ones who wish to increase their vocabulary. 21. Lucy Jane Blalock leaves her married school life to Alma Ballard. 22. Bobbie McSwain leaves his ability to get to Albemarle to Fred Mabry. 23. Gerald Hutchinson leaves his gray hair to Bob Hathcock and his ability as business manager to Bill Capel. 24. Winson Hannah leaves his dancing ability to Leon Snuggs. 25. Marvin Thompson, Jr., leaves his ability to publish the Rambler to the Editor next year. 26. John Ray Mabry leaves his ability to drive a school bus to Martha Lou Poplin and Ruth Dennis. 27. Carl Hathcock leaves his entire property to Polly Morgan. 28. Boyd Hopkins leaves his ability to lead the S. P. S. to Harold Poplin; his ability to speak to Charles Snuggs; his good grades to Billy Crump. 29. Pauline Hopkins leaves her blonde hair to Helen Dennis so she won ' t have to peroxide. She also leaves her ability to make good grades to all those needing it. We, the Senior class of ' 47, do hereby name our prin- cipal, Mr. B. G. Short, sole executor of this our will and testament. In witness whereof we the class of 1947 do set our hand and affix our seal, this the twenty-first day of May, nineteen hundred and forty-seven.

As we marched past the big white columns With faces very long, and sad, and solemn. We shall never forget how our classmates looked When from the principal ' s hand they took The scroll that proved that we had worked, That our duty we had never failed nor shirked. As we look back on our Senior year It recalls memories bright and clear. How we chose as our colors blue and white, With roses — what could make a prettier sight? The blue forget-me-not was added, too, Something to make us to our best self be true. The motto, Ambition has no rest, was elected; And a finer motto was never selected. The whole year long we were busy as could be Which was most evident for anyone to see — The newspaper — annual — pictures — and play, We all worked on them a little each day. Then as the end grew nearer and nearer, Our classmates and friends seemed dearer and dearer; And now that it is time for us to depart, Old Norwood Hi will keep each heart. — Ruth Atkinson, Class Poet. FAREWELL SONG (Tune: The Spanish Cavalier) We are the Senior Class of dear Old Norwood High, And to this dear school we ' ll be true. We love its walls, all its rooms and halls, And the cherished scenes of our dear school days. The graduates now are we, so happy and carefree, For soon our diplomas we will gain; We ' ve had our fun and rich honors won But to say goodbye to you brings pain. Ambition knows no rest; right onward we must go To do all those things that we ' ve planned to; The time now is here to start our career, And seek the fortunes that are waiting for us. We fondly linger here; in this our last school year To grasp all the knowledge that we may; But soon we all must tell the friends we love so well Adieu to you and love to you for aye. Our colors blue and white will ever lead us on And help us to make the right choices. The pretty rose, sweetest flower that blows, For thee we ' ll e ver lift our voices. The forget-me-not so blue will remind us anew To remember the friends that we made here Wherever we may go our thoughts will ever flow To happy days at dear Old Norwood High School. CLASS SONG (Tune: Anchors Aweigh) By Pauline Boyd Hopkins We are the Senior Class, in number twenty-two; We are dear Norwood best, And to her we ' ll e ' er be true (true, true, true) As out in life we go, Proving our skill. Ambition has no rest Will lead us on to reach the highest goal. For colors blue and white Give fifteen cheers; May roses ever bloom Beside our path in the coming years, (years) May memories remain Of our work and play, And may we ne ' er forget The days we spent at dear old Norwood High We love our principal, teachers and all; We love each little nook, And the four white columns tall, (tall, tall, tall) Farewell to classmates dear, Here ' s luck to you! And to each one we say: Here ' s wishing you success and joy always. SONG TO JUNIORS (Tune: Bells of St. Mary ) By Jewell Randall We Seniors of Norwood Are going to leave you. For twelve years we ' ve labored, And now we must part. But don ' t you be grieving ' Cause we are receiving For work well done Our diplomas won From Norwood High. Yes, Juniors, we ' re leaving But don ' t you be grieving ' Cause next year the Seniors You Juniors will be So on this occasion We say in conclusion We pledge anew Our love so true To Norwood High. Page THE SENIOR CLASS By Robert Fowler, President We are the class of forty-seven, The grandest class this side of heaven. In numbers we are twenty-two, And to our school we ' ll e ' er be true. We chose the colors blue and white; For them we ' ll work with all our might. We chose for our flower the beautiful rose With blue forget-me-nots in bows. Our motto, Ambition has no rest, Reminds the class to do their best. CLASS POEM The pansy, the daisy, the forget-me-not, The iris, the lily, and rose; Swaying as the soft wind blows, Each a rival to the fairest of the lot. The roses with forget-me-nots fair, Were chosen the grandest in the field Because of the perfume they yield, White and blue are the colors they wear. The rose, a symbol of love and heaven, Forget-me-nots — remembrance ever With ties that nothing shall sever Were picked by the class of forty-seven, To help us carry on our best In Ambition has no rest! — Boyd Hopkins, Class Poet. TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL (Tune: My Wild Irish Rose) To this our high school dear We raise a hearty cheer; You may search everywhere. But none can compare To our dear old Norwood High. Our alma mater true. We shall always honor you; Your name we will sing Our praises will ring Forever for Norwood High!
