Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1950 volume:

1850 PfiOSPfCTOfiS The Members of the Senior Class of this, THE GOLDEN YEAR OF 1950, are like our forefathers of a century ago, those ambitious prospectors in the rush for gold. As they, with patience, perseverance, and determination digged in the earth for the precious metal, so have we, for twelve long years been digging for riches found in books. As they sifted, so have we been sifting the higher ideals and truths from the baser. As great joy filled the prospectors’ hearts upon finding sufficient golden nuggets to make their fortunes secure, so great joy fills our hearts as we Seniors of 1950 find in our possession 16 nuggets — golden nuggets — enough for a gold brick. With the full ownership of our diplomas, we shall have all rights and privileges as the prospectors had to their claim stakes. About us we see many opportunities — GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES — to continue our education, to enrich our lives, to be of service to our fellow man, to our country, and to our Creator. Well-used opportunities will help us realize the GOLDEN DREAMS for a better tomorrow. “TO ARRIVE, WE MUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD.” Dora Lee Wiley Editor of THE GOLDEN YEAR.

Some have changed to a new abode, And some are trucking the same old road. But all are loyal (no matter how nifty) To the Senior Class of 1950. There’s Max Howell with his mechanical bent Who can fix your car from bad brakes to a dent. Bonnie Curtis is an artist grand; In fact, one of the best in all the land! Raymond Fowler, with his slender build, Now as a surgeon displays great skill. Nell Byrd and Jean Cooper, the inseparable pair, Are now putting curls in ladies’ hair. Loyd Simpson, an ambitious young fellow, Now finds security in being a bank teller. Faye Holton, who always tarried, Is now engaged and soon to be married. Bob Henderson, the great athlete, Now fits shoes on misses’ feet. Quiet and sweet, that ' s Linda Britt; She’s now the seller of a first-aid kit. Jennings Hathcock, a most bashful young man, Now has a girl and has asked for her hand. Betty Ruth Baldwin, the girl athlete, Now is a homemaker who is happy and neat. A great sportsman is C. B. McManus — In basketball playing he has become famous. Geraldine Blalock still spreads good cheer; When a typist is needed, she is always near. Bobby Ray Hinson, with his willing air, Is now a salesman to whom none can compare. Nancy Lowder, so collected and cool, Now follows the profession of teaching school. Troy Lee Carriker with his happy-go-lucky ways Is now enthralled with the gold-mine craze. Sarah Small, the cutest of all — If cute means clever, she’s still on the ball. Charles Parker could think of nothing finer: He’s captain of a cattle boat to China. Dora Lee Wiley, voted best scholar, Is still setting the pace for others to follow. Woody Stewart, whose dramatics is best Now has a position on C. B. S. Myra Hinson in history was fine; Teaching school is now her line. Kenneth Pope now owns a service station And supplies gasoline to half the nation. Jane Lee Snuggs — how popular was she — Was “Miss America’’ in nineteen fifty-three! James Morgan had a great ambition; A civil engineer is now his position. Bobby Jean Smith, the belle of the class, Still is known as a beautiful lass. George Ivey, the great ball fan, Is now a member of the baseball clan. A remarkable woman is Lucy Ann Still; She can always balance the house-hold bill. A. J. Hutchinson has realized his dreams — He’s a basketball coach for some pretty girls’ teams. Mary Lee Turner’s work’s an obsession: She belongs now to the nursing profession. And the Smith boy, the one called Baxter, Is on his farm with a brand new tractor. Josephine Morgan with her grace and beauty As a saleslady is doing her duty. Friends, parents, and teachers laugh and cry When they see these ex-students of Norwood High! Ann McKay Lefler — Prophet P. S. — by the Editor I, too, shall prophesy For a senior miss of Norwood Hi. Ann McKay Lefler, the best-all-round, A finer technician just can’t be found! 27 CLASS IUILL We, the Senior Class of Norwood High School, County of Stanly, State of North Carolina, being in full and positive possession of our right minds, do hereby make, and definitely declare this to be our last will and testament.

Ready to give advice in need, Our principal is our friend indeed. To teachers, who for the right they show, Great debts of thanks we ll always owe. Parties filled with pleasure and cheer, By gradcparents are given throughout the year Heads of red have our mascots fair; So cute a pair are really rare. Close and dear are we classmates too; Fun with each other will ne’er be through. Our precious Annual we leave behind; Within its pages our pictures you’ll find. The class colors of gold and white Shimmer and gleam with the rose so bright. We’ll always be true to “Loyalty and Honor” Our dear Alma Mater we’ll ne ' er dishonor. With hearts full of Love for Norwood High, Cladly, yet sadly, we bid good-bye. GRADUATES OF COLDEN ’50 76 ' t J f-i YEARBOOKS THE PACEMAKERS OF QUALI TV MYERS AND CO. INC.
