THEY ARE MEMORIES THAT WE WILL LOVE AND CHERISH THROUGH THE YEARS TO COME. IT IS WITH A FEELING OF HUMBLENESS, THANKFULNESS, AND PERHAPS, SADNESS, THAT WE DEDICATE THIS, OUR SUPREME EFFORT, TO OUR FACULTY, SCHOOL MATES, AND TO ALL WHO SYMBOLIZE THE UNEXCELLED SPIRIT OF PLEASANT GARDEN HIGH SCHOOL. O A WORD OF APPRECIATION One can hardly begin to express appreciation for the many hours of work that have gone into the preparation of this publication. But of all the efforts, those of our faculty advisor, Mrs. Stacy Hockett, are more outstanding. Without her faithful advice and help this annual would not have been possible. Q2 n , ' 1 if-A-A V ,H 1- . v c- ,f,-ff 1 fl' R ,'- A 'ng 216' EWCDR School years are among the most formative in our lives. It is during their course that our characters take on the shape that they will more or less hold. We have been fortunate in going to school at a time when schools are progressing-both in material prosperity and in thinking trends. lt is our hope that this spirit of progress will remain with us throughout our lives, help- ing to make us useful citizens whose actions are forceful and whose thoughts are just and liberal. Therefore, we bring forth the 'I948 Hl-LIGHTS, in which are recorded some of the events and arrested, for a moment, some of the people who have played a part in our school lives and in the molding of our attitudes. 3 C LTY Robert Ayers A.B., Guilford College Principal J.

Let us be meek, oh Lord, but may a song Be ever on our lips, and give us light That we may brighten darkness.-Make our youth A scourge to drive out prejudice cmd hate, Replacing them with honor, love, and truth. Give us the heart to make the best of Fate. Give us determination, Lord, and faith, To make tomorrow better than today. We would see War a trembling, frightened Wraith, And tyranny's abuses giving way. We would see peace, oh Lord, where strife has been. -The class of 1948.-Amen.

C L A In September, 1944, the class of 1948 ceased being a dream and became S S a reality, and, though our arrival wasn't heralded with a fanfare of trumpets, l dare say there wasn't anyone in the halls that morning who wasn't conscious of our presence. HISTORY 1948 Ours was the largest, and some say the loudest, class ever to seek higher education in dear ol' P. G. H. S. Therefore, we were assigned to two homerooms, each filled to capacity under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Gilliam and Mrs. Greene. Your historian was co-president of the Freshman Class, and l suppose we were much like any other freshman class, though perhaps a bit brasher. However, about the middle of February, 1945, we decided to give a play! And that's exactly what we did. On March 17, 1945, we presented our ver- sion of Deacon Dubbs. There was never anything quite like it before, and we are reasonably certain there never will be. We were never quite the same after the Deacon, because we were now certain of something that we had always suspected-we were something special. So, in just that state of mind, we began our sophomore year. There was no graduating class to supply competition, and we intended to take full advantage of the fact. Our class had dwindled in number slightly, but we still occupied two homerooms, this year under Mrs. Hackett and Mr. Dawson. Billy Hunter was elected president of the class, and we continued merrily on our way. Clayton, C. O., and some of the other boys were play- ing bosketball, and we doubtlessly had our share of parties and dances. Then, too, some of us were working on the high school paper. And then spring came Kas it always doeslqand our fancies turned to thoughts of dramatics. You see, the Deacon had turned us all into a bunch of incurable hams. The class gave an English comedy, Chintz Cottage, and the Dramatics Club, 99 percent of which was sophs, gave A Certain Young Miss. As I said before, there was no graduating class in '46, so the commencement was unavoidably dull. ln the fall of 1946, the war had been over a year, rationing was a thing of the past, wages were almost as high as prices, God was in His heaven, and all was right with the world. Besides all that, we were Juniors. The most important single thing that a Junior Class does is to give the Seniors a banquet. Then, lo and behold, the time came when we found that we had, by various methods Call quite ethical, thank youl, accumulated enough money to make that same banquet a reality. So it came to pass that, after much discussion Cthat's an understatement, brotherl we selected the Bliss Restaurant as the location for the Junior-Senior of 1947. The date was late April, and the night was as beautiful as the banquet itself. Tl1at's the way it happened, and then it was over, except in the memories of those present. We didn't have much time for remembering that spring. We had to help graduate the Seniors, and there was the commencement play to think about. The cast was taken from the entire high school and simply loaded with talent, from the leading man on down. CAhem.l We participated in the gra- duation exercises and then departed for summer vocation, never forgetting for one moment that in the fall we would be Seniors. But, strange as it may seem, when fall came, we felt no special pleasure over the fact that we were Seniors. There was the Hi-lights to be printed, and of course the Spotlight, a holdover from our Junior year. Besides all that, there were invitations to be chosen. There was no doubt in our minds now. This was IT . Billy Hunter was chosen class president again, and we then chose the Hi-lights staff. Billy Hunter was the editor, and Eugene Smith business manager. Mrs. Stacy Hockett, our homeroom teacher, was the faculty advisor. Mary Idol was the recipient of the honors from the Pepsi-Cala Scholarship contest. Jane Hackett was our D. A. R. pilgrim, and Billy Hunter received the Civitan Award. Then, there were the banquet given to us by the Juniors, the class play, and all the other activities of a Senior Class, and maybe a few extra. This history ends when we receive our diplomas from Pleasant Garden High School. But the individuals that make up the class of '48 will, perhaps, through their deeds, write a history far more glorious than this one could ever be. EUGENE SMITH ..,. HISTORIAN. 13 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT i948 I4 We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-eight, in the county of Guilford, and in the state of North Carolina, have accumulated various and valuable possessions during our high school days. We have acquired a great amount of knowledge, wonderful training in athletics, and then, here and there, we have acquired different honors as to a class and as individuals. Our pos- sessions burden us, and we think it is right to dispose of them. We realize, too, that this school would suffer a great loss if we were selfish enough to take all these possessions with us. The underclassmen would be handicapped if we took our leadership, abilities, good attitudes, friendliness, co-operative spirit, and corny iokes. We therefore make this last will and testament to dispose of our possessions in the way that we think best, and to make bequests to those we think worthy of this high honor. We, the class of l948, being of sound mind and body, do make and publish this last will and testament: We give to our teachers, the faculty as a whole, our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life dull, and which did much to make it endurable for them. We also give to them our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing and everlasting kindness toward us. We give to our principal, Mr. Ayers, our good will, and hope that he will have as good suc- cess with other classes as he had with us. We are thankful to him for many favors, for the relief that we have at last been graduated, for pleasant memories of our four years together, and for a feeling of pride in any great deeds or achievements that our future may contain, realizing that we will owe the honor to his example and counsel. We give to the Junior Class twentyreight distinctive rays of light that each member may have one to guide him as he walks in our steps. We list the following individual bequests: C. O. Tinsley wills his corny iokes to Charles Bogle so that he won't have so much trouble getting peo- ple to laugh. Jane Hackett wills her beautifully tanned legs to Peggy Thompson. Lucinda Jones leaves the front seat an Bus lb to Jean Nesbit. Bill Richardson leaves his position on the Spotlight staff to Nancy Reynolds. Betly Ross leaves her ability to make good grades in algebra to Bill Gamble. LaRue Way leaves her position as cheer leader to Mrs. William Hunt, the music teacher. Paul Allred leaves his curly hair to Peggy Collins, hoping she won't have so much trouble keeping it rolled. Frances Hunt leaves her silly giggles to Jo Ann Gray. Patsy Tucker leaves her ability to blush to Particia Fields. Billy Hunter wills his dramatic ability to Tommy Reitzel. Mary Idol leaves her journalistic talents to Sonny Mclnnis. Jane Kirkman leaves her ability to walk in high heels to her cousin, Libby Hunt. Wilbur Berry leaves his speed on the basketball court to Jimmie Thompson. Maxine Cavinoss wills her basketball suit to Shirley Taylor. Nancy Wood leaves her love for the McClintock: to Lucille Whittemore and Charles Weatherly. Earl Harris leaves his speed on the high- ways to Bob McClintock. Nancy Kearns leaves her intelligence to Jack Washburn. Margie Garret wills her height to her niece, Doris Joan Garrett. Johnny Rich wills his physics book to the physics class. Emily Jane Noose leaves her singing ability to Catherine Hughes. Mary Annette Draper leaves her noise-making to Betsy Ross Brown. Eugene Smith leaves his wonderful gossip column to Tessa Ruth Weatherly. Martha Ann Coble wills her love for home work to Hazel Osborne. Sally Osborne leaves her complete French book to the twelfth grade French class of 1949. Clayton Gardner wills his long hair to Mr. Ayers and trusts that he can keep it combed. Genova Hilliard leaves her personality to Doris Dunham. Betty Jane Hackett wills her habit of waiting till the last minute to get her lessons to Frances Allred. Lee Wyatt Moser wills his wit and humor to Doug Curtis. Joan Tucker wills her ability to talk too much to the class moscot, Jerry Hilliard. Dorothy Cox leaves the care of the library in -the hands of Barbara Rose Janes. Stacy McCl.ntocK wills his ability ta sleep in class to Hal fnompson. Maxine Hazkett will her sweet disposition to Jack Monnett. Ann Hackett wills her ability to shoot goals to Phyllis Taylor. James Wilkins wills his height to Cletus Surratt. Mary Catherine Hackett wills her guarding ability to Florence Fields. Helen Nixon leaves her typewriter in the care of her sister, Nancy Nixon. Betsy Jean Ross wills her ability to pester teachers to Jane Dixon. Libby Mclnnis leaves her musical talent to Garland Fogleman. Helen Hendrix wills her quietness to Zeno Dixon. Rosa Butler wills her typing ability to her bro- ther, B. B. Bill Hardin wills his big feet to Bobbie Lewis and knows she can find shoes to fit. Kaythorn Lackey wills her ability to foul out playing backetball to Mary Frances Fields. Bobby Pugh leaves his love for his two hound dogs to Peggy Marley. We hereby appoint our advisor, Mrs. Hockett, sole executor of this last will and testament. ln witness whereof, we the Senior Class of 1948, have set our last seal this twentieth day of May, one thousand, nine hundred and forty-eight. Jean Tucker, Testator. 41' CLASS PROP!-IECY If you met a gypsy and she told you lots of secrets about the best of your friends, would you believe her? Well, that's the experience I had tonight. lt was very vivid, and I shall never forget it. These secrets she disclosed to me were the futures of all our classmates. It was at the quaint carnival which comes to Greensboro at this time every summer. I ap- proached an old tent that was brown and shabby. A faded sign was in front of the tent, whose letters had once proclaimed in bright red, Madame Zita, Past, Present, Future. Though faded, the sign aptly spoke the purpose of the tent. From the moment I stepped into the tent I was conscious of the uncanny. The tent was dark and stifling: the air was filled with mixed aromas of grease, dust, and perfumes. Nevertheless, l looked at the stool before a table and a sign on the wall of the tent. As my eyes became accustomed to the darkness I saw that the sign said, Sit. I sat and waited for Madame Zita, experiencing a variety of sensations. My knees were a little weak, but l was quite eager for the gypsy to appear, for my curiosity was overcoming my fears. Looking around, I saw the door from which, I presumed, Madame Zita would come. It led into a still darker chamber. Above me, there was an opening in the tent roof, and the summer sky, bright with stars, showed through. At this time, Madame Zita was before me. She was old and boneyp her skin was dark and greasy-looking, but her eyes and teeth were bright and startling. As she looked at me piercingly, I felt she truly knew my past, present, and future. She spoke in a low, tense, husky voice, I know what it is you wont. I will tell you. You want to know the futures of your classmates. Here they are in my unfailing crystal balI. 'I see the name, Clayton Gardner. Ah, he will progress until he holds a very important iob in the Novelty Works. And there is another who has an important position with the same company, the vice-president is C. O. Tinsley, lr. 'And here in the future are many nurses, all graduates: Libby Mclnnis, Nancy Wood, Sally Osborne, An- nie Alice Hnckett, Martha Ann Coble, and Lucinda Jones. It was a long task to win that little cap, but they did it. 'The class has three outstanding engineers: Paul Allred, James Wilkins, and Bill Richardson. 'We have two directors of religious education: Betty Jane Hackett and Geneva Hilliard, and Jane Hackett is a missionary in India, so they say. 'Earl Harris has a service station, and so does Wilbur Berry. Bobby Pugh, busy with his navy career, is happiest while at home, thanks to Peggy. 'Mary Idol writes to her heart's content. Her poetry is famous. Another writer is Patsy Tucker. She spends her time on historical novels. 'Helen Hendrix is a Hendrix no longer, and you know Mary Catherine Hackett and Rasa Butler's mar- riages were decided on as Seniors. 'C. E. Moser and Sons has added one more son to the firm. It's none other than Minnie. An excellent onel 'Nancy Kearns is on opera singer, and Mary Annette Draper and Jane Kirkman are teaching school. Mary Annette teaches the second grade, and Jane has high school classes. The principal of that school is Billy Hunter, and a good principal he is. 'Kaythern Lackey, Maxine Hackett, Jean Tucker, and Maxine Coviness are secretaries working for Jeffer- son Standard. They enioy life and their work a lot. 'Johnny Rich, Bill Hardin, and Stacy McClintock are quite prosperous farmers, and solid citizens, too. 'Margie Garrett is the queen of a very happy home, and so is Helen Nixon. 'We have a dietician working in the Woman's College dining halls, Frances Hunt. Betty Ross is an in- terior decorator for Marshall Field. 'Emily Jane Neece is an airline hostess for P. C. A., and Dot Cox is librarian for the county. 'And who do you suppose is manager of the largest dry cleaning plant in the South? lt is Eugene Smith. 'With a high position in the management of a theater in Richmond is Betsy Jean Ross, who is quite efficient. 'LaRue Way studied art after high school, but got side-tracked into being a model. Look for her on the cover af your favorite magazine. Do you believe this by Madame Zita? As she said to me, We shall see. We shall see.
