The ship on which we sailed was Old Oakboro High , With a splendid crew of teachers, ever ready, standing by. O, sometimes we grew discouraged on this voyage strange and new, There were always some to aid us of the ever watchful crew. We are proud we took this voyage on the sea of Education vast. Far in the port of Graduation we have landed safe at last. And we now meet here together, hearts filled with joy and pain. For we know that we shipmates never shall sail again. Now each must set sail alone on the treasureful sea of life. Let us try to be worthy, most courteous in this strife. And now dear mates, the time has come when we all must say good-by. Let us never forget each other, nor dear old Oakboro High. J. T. Hinson CUSS Adieu to Oakboro School Our class rooms, our teachers, the school we hold dear. The bell for our classes as a warning we hear, Our friends and our classmates, the joys that we share, Are ending so soon, but they ' ll always be there. The picnics, the parties, the happiness we knew. Wherever we go we ' ll be thinking of you. Through hard ships and trials we ' ll never give in. So long to old Oakboro we ' ll miss you so. But we ' ll always remember wherever we go. The things we were taught, to stand for the truth. And so to old Oakboro, we ' re saying adieu. To Oakboro, our classmates, we ' re saying adieu. David McClellan Class Motto: Success Awaits At Labor ' s Gates. Class Flower: White Rose Class Colors: Green and White Senior Advisor: Mrs. Frank Harward Page f 1 ftren CLASS HISTORY It came to pass in the fvillness of time that the class of 1946 did gather upon the 27th day of September for a trip through the Oakboro High School, much famed for its dissemination of knowledge. They had collected a goodly amount of necessary baggage, in the way of bits of geography, sections of arithmetic, bunches of dates, fresh from the tree of History, packages of Civics, and a supply of Grammar. Each, moreover had the required ticket - a certificate of promotion from the last station, the Eighth Grade. And it came to pass that promptly upon the stroke of eight-thirty they did answer the Conductor ' s cry of All Aborad and start out on the upgrade in the Train of Knowledge. They were given places in the Freshman section and they found the train equipped with a fine dining car whrje capable chefs supplied them with much food for their mental growth and development. They did choose, as president of their group, C. J. Hartsell, who should see that they gained sufficient class pep, loyalty and school spirit; while Conductor J. F. Turner saw to it that they properly digested the meals served them by the Faculty Chefs and Porters. At the end of the first year, having successfully met the requirements of Fresh- men passengers, they were transferred to the Sophomore car and with a membership of forty-two, bravely endured the jolting of the rougher trvael. C. J. Hartsell was again chosen president of the trip, and the journey was livened by stops for a number of parties and occasions of gaiety. Pranks were frequently indulged in when the Con- ductor, Head Brakeman and Porters were looking after other sections of the Train. With the passing of time they were again shifted, being placed in the Junior Coach, with thirty-three jolly members of whom Passenger C. J. Hartsell was re-elected president. Several passengers, Imogene Poplin Morton, Ruth Eudy Whitley, Frances Tucker Ward, and Hilda Eller dropped off at side stations and did not resume the trip. Much enjoyed stops at Pleasure Resorts included parties and Junior- Senior Banquet. Some trips were indulged in, to the Athletic Fields, where numerous passengers be- came proficient in football, basketball, and other games. The mental good contained many morsels hard to chew and digest, but with the Faculty Chefs and Porters de- claring that It must be accomplished or we ' ll throw you off the Train, the Junior passengers nobly did their duty. Then came the happy day when the group was transferred to the Senior Coach with increased privileges and resf)onsibilities. C. J. Hartsell had done so well as president of the class for the last three years that he was re-elected for their last year. The grade became steeper, the journey rougher, but ah, the glorious view as the Class of 1950 looked out on Commencement Station looming in the near distance. Those Senior passengers who had been companions during the long journey became even more closely united in school spirit and class bonds. They came to appreciate more fully the super- vision given them by Conductor J. L. Haynes, Head Brakeman, Mrs. Frank Harward and the capable Faculty Chefs and Porters. They enjoyed the stops made for the Senior Play, parties, and the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. They grew quite puffed up over the records of certain members in the side trips to Athletic Field, the Ora- torical Stage and The Glee Club Pavilion. They snccessfully passed the close inspec- tion of the examiners who checked up on their baggage of Knowledge, and they now stand ready for a final transfer. At Commencement Station, on the Mount of Learning, they leave the Senior Coach to become passengers on various roads leading through the Valley of Opportunity in the Land of the Greac J cyond, to the cities of Success, Fame, and Worthy Achievement. Cora Le; Whitley Page Sixteen cuss PROPHECY Having been required, by mandate of the class of 1950, to forecast the future of these illustrious Seniors, I journeyed me to the far country where dwelt the Three Fates, the sisters, who, in the famous early days of gods and goddesses, presided over the destinies of human beings. Fair to look upon were they and most fascin- ating in their skillful manipulation of the threads of life. Clotho, the Fate who was present at births, held the distaff which supplies the slender strands; Lachesis spun the thread; Atropos, with shining shears ever ready, cut these threads of Life with a fateful snip. Fair Fates, I implored; Ye who preside over the destinies of the Class of 1950, wilt thou not reveal to me the happennigs of our future years? It is decreed that I must know. Atropos shook a fair and determined head. Not so, she answered. Not to mere mortals do we divulge these secrets of Life. Clotho gave a nod of assent, but Lachesis spoke entreatingly. This request comes from an excellent class, she said. They have a most satisfactory record in High School; they are greatly esteemed by their Faculty, and they have walked before their schoolmates with diligence and perfection of manner. Let us grant them a knowledge of the future. After a few moments of objection and discussion it was decided to give the class of 1950 a glimpse of the unfoldings of the future, which interesting view I now reveal to you, endorsed by the Fates who preside over our destinies. We have within our Senior ranks future teachers, nurses, housewives, bankers, farmers, authors, statesmen, mechanics, beauty contestants, talented singers, truck drivers, and successful business men. This prophetic vision shows us C. J. Hartsell as a physical education teacher, Doris Crayton as head of the Home Economics Department of Oakboro School, and Melvin and Junior Hartsell are to become owners of a new Hartsell and Hartsell Fun- eral Home of Oakboro. Dwight Hill and J. T. Hinson, who are so fond of farming, are to win fame as the world ' s most noted farmers. Bobby Cur lee, who always loved to drive fast, will be champion of the Stockcar Races, held in Minnesota, in 1960. Edwin Coble will be satisfied to rule as mayor of Oakboro, while M. L. Barbee will be equally satisfied to rule over Oakboro as the Policeman, but Lowell Hill, will take his place as County Commissioner. Cora Lee Whitley, class historian, will write a History of the Achievements of the Class of 1950, which will have an enormous sale. Melvin Crisco, Harold Huneycutt, and R. Lee Mclntyre will be fou nd driving transfer trucks cross country. Due to their ability to sing, Martha Huneycutt and David McClellan will become noted singers. Edward Efird will be found as president of the Carolina Trailways Coach Company. Pearl Morgan and Doris Drye will walk the halls of a large hos- pital as nurses. Glenn Smith will be very happy as head mechanic of Oakboro ' s most progressive service station. J. B. Edwards will be the banker of this class due to his ability to handle business matters with the greatest of ease. Owner of Oakboro ' s new Billiard Hall will be Herman Kirby, and Harold Curlee as his best pool shark. Our only married member of the senior class, Ted Parker, is destined to have good luck and become part owner of Huneycutt ' s Cash Store. Beatrice Crisco, our Miss Merry Christmas representative of 1948, will be a contestant for Miss North Carolina in 1960. There is one member destined to be a farmer ' s wife; this will be either Sara Katherine Whitley or Eunice Kennedy. Aileen Snyder and Gloria Smith will eventually become happy widows who have all sorts of good times on the money left by their ac- commodating weaker halves. To Mary Frances Tucker and Odene Burgess belong the distinction of being the class spinsters- -not that they had no offers of marriage, but because no man measured up to their high ideals. Odene Burgess Page Seven teen LAST WILL m mmmf We, the Senior Class of 1950, of the Oakboro High School, County of Stanly and State of North Carolina, being of sound mind, realizing our stay here will soon be over, do hereby de- clare and make known to all concerned that this is our last will and testament: 1st.
