It was very difficult for us and I’m sure they were glad to send us on to Miss May Parsons and Miss Mary Swaim, our second grade teachers. “Home-work” was a new word to us when we reached the third grade. But Miss Parrish and Mrs. Carpenter saw that we fully understood the expression. Our fourth, fifth, and s ixth years passed uneventfully, except for chapel programs in which we always enjoyed taking part. State examinations were our tremendous dread of 1940. However with Miss Ellen Barker’s help we managed to pass. In 1941 we entered high school as freshmen, with an enrollment of 110 pupils. ‘The original number had been greatly increased by additions from Worth- ville and Sophia. The year proved to be as exciting as we had thought—the changing of classes and a variety of teachers. Some of the boys and girls went out for basketball and made the team easily. After a happy vacation, we returned to school as soph omores. Miss Yount was our teacher and very often we were thumped on the head for misbehavior. “With junior days came junior ways.” During this year we bought our class rings but the Junior-Senior Banquet was the most important event. By sell- ing magazines and giving a Fall Festival we raised the money for the banquet. At the beginning of the Senior year we found that of the 110 pupils that entered high school only 43 now remained. We elected the class officers as fol- lows: President, Charles Fulp; vice president, Ann Beck; secretary, Nancy Pick- ard; treasurer, Raymond Every. Our motto 1s, “When Duty whispers low “hou must’,” the youth replies, “‘I can’.” ‘The class colors are blue and gold, and our flower is the yellow rose. O. N. Bowers has a perfect attendance record of eleven years, and Dolly Kirkman has a perfect attendance record for high school. Evelyn Boozer and Blanche Jordan have made school history as the first gitls for bus driver and bell ringer. Among the things that we shall not forget are: ‘The Junior-Senior Reception, the Senior Class Play, and the parties that were given to us. LauRA Rossrns, Historian. The RENDEZUOUS EeAG ELL School History Randleman’s first elementary school was a four-room structure called Bloomfield, located where the Holiness church now stands. During the year 1903 Jule M. Weatherly was principal. In 1904 a new building was erected with rooms consisting of eight grades. John L. Harris was the first principal of the new school and was succeeded by E. L. Smithdeal. Then in 1909 J. B. Robertson of Alamance County took charge and another grade was «.dded. Mr. W. P. White of Ramseur (father of our present Mrs. R. C. White) was the beloved principal during the years 1911-1912. Two years later N. F’. Farlow assumed charged and for several years gave us a good school. He was followed by a Mr, Carrallton who stayed one month and quietly left leaving 10 forwarding eddress. We were fortunate in having N. F. Farlow take his place. For several years Randleman school progressed rapidly and in 1921 had fourteen rooms and 625 pupils. On October 21, 1921, a plan was underway for consolidation of Salem, Worth- ville, and White Hall. From 1921 to 1925 the following principals served: D. M. Weatherly, of Franklinville, Ed. Carroll of Pinnacle, and Curtis Carroll of King, North Carolina. The number of students in 1926 had risen to 788. FE. L. Shelton from St. Paul, North Carolina, took charge during the school year ot 1926-27. From 1927 until 1943, H. H. Hamilton was principal of Randleman High School. During the time he was principal full time Home Economics, Agriculture, and Public School Music ‘Teachers were hired. He played an outstanding part in the history of our school and should have an honorable place in the school history. In 1943 R. C. White took charge of our school. He has done much to provide recrea tion for the pupils and also to build up the school to a higher plane of knowledge. Parent-Ceacher Assoctation In the history of Randleman High School the Parent-Teacher Association has played a very important part. Re-organized about 18 years ago from the Civic Club, the P.-T. A. soon became a strong arm of the school. The first important project proposed was the building of our gymnasium. ‘This met with the wildest enthusiasm and support on the part of the entire community—and our gym _ has since proved to be one of the school’s best assets. Closely following was the hiring of a teacher for full-time Public School MOSS, and for the first year, the P.-T. A. paid her entire salary. Other valuable contributions of the Association have been: the improvement of the school grounds, the expansion of both elementary and high school libraries, the purchase of pianos and other expensive stage equipment, and the invaluable aid of the cafeteria, that is now nearing its third successful year. The increase in growth and influence to school and community has been rapid, and the Association is known as one of the very best anywhere. Its help to the school in both funds and effort has been almost phenomenal. The RENDEZUOUS PAG HA? S? Remember H PAGE 13 Class Prophecy SETTING: .A forest of today. SCENE: Picnic of the Senior Class. CHARACTERS: Madame Zolga, a gypsy fortune teller, and the class of 1945. 1) I see a brightly burning forest fire trapping hundreds of women and children in its midst. You, Arnold, will rescue these helpless victims from death. For your daring and heroic bravery you will receive many medals and will be justly named “Man Mountain ‘Toomes”’. (2) Grady Hanner, you will be a famed doctor. People from all parts of the country will come to you for advice about health and life. You will have four assistants—Nurses Vicla McKenzie, Anne Beck, Katherine Fields, and Laura Robbins. (3) In this group there will be two who will achieve fame and foitune as journalists. Ah, yes—Raymond Every will be connected with the “New York Times” and earn an immense salary. On the side line he will take in a trifling four thousand dollars per week, as a novelist and playwright. Evelyn Boozer, a journalist for the “Chicago Headlines”, will earn public popu- larity for her human interest stories and desire to help the underprivileged. Bound for California, I see a ‘Transcontinental Airplane piloted by Robert Bischer—and acting as stewardess is Dolly Kirkman. ‘They make a wonderful combination and keep everything under control while “upstairs”. One of the most successful members among you will be Faye Culler. She will make twenty-five dollars an hour modeling Hattie Cornegie’s latest creations. Quite clearly I see a young woman and young man teaching at Hollywood High. In the j1ome economics department Jewell Beeson is lending her influence. A few rooms down the hall Keith Pugh teaches a class in physics. Opal Bowman and Rachel Davis will have as their postwar careers high positions in the military department at Washington. James Yow will take to the high seas as a captain in Uncle Sam’s Navy, while Ed Ford doct ors airplanes in Detroit. On the corner of Fifth Avenue in New York will be a large establishment under the man- agement of Sara Lou Brown, a nationally known interior decorator. “Webster and Moon’s Beauty Shop” is located deep in the heart of Calitornia. ‘Their slogan, “What one can’t do, the other can.” Blanche Jordan and Eliza Belle Damiels will be co-managers of the girls’ football squad at Duke University. In a large office I see six girls typing away on “rushed” articles for the “Bi-Monthly Fashion Magazine” edited by Kathleen Lovette. ‘They are Martha Ellen Glenn, Loretta Parker, Hazel Surratt, Helen Wrenn, Adelaide Jennings and Mildred Trogdon. One member of the class who will stay in the old home town is Doris Wood. Busy help- ing her church work and teaching the entire children’s division, she has caused more than one tamily to realize that the church is a foundation for the home. Rachel White will run a very efficient beauty shop in the southern part of Sophia. She will be happily married to her school-day boy-tnena. Two miles north of Rachel’s shop, Jo Ridge is prospering as a dairy farmer, Jean Lineberry, as editor of a San Francisco newspaper, will receive much credit for her capability and willingness to work for and with others. Nancy Pickard will be concert pianist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra. She will compose a masterpiece which will take the country by storm and thereby net for her thousands of dollars. , A much envied and highly successful screen star will be Norma Jean T’oomes who wili set the mode of hair style and dress throughout the nation. In a Washington office, Audrey Blake is taking dictation at the rate of 110 words a minute and typing at the rate of 60 words a minute. Sylvester Hanner will earn his living as a mechanic. Charles Fulp will invent a new type jet-propelled car with tops in speed records. After working as first-class machinists, Harold Cashatt and O. N. Bowers will pool their money and tun a hamburger stand on the side. ; As the top swimming star of 1955, we shall all be very proud of Rachel Talley, who will be entered in the World Aquatic Show. A, E, Warren a talented player of the mandolin, will entertain audiences with their favorite songs. The Carolina ‘Trailways will have its first woman bus driver in 1955—Helen Lanier at the wheel. Well, my friends, it’s time for me to go. Perhaps I may see you in the future and witness the success you have attained in the many walks of life which you have chosen.

In order to re- ceive a high school diploma we are to complete twelve years of schooling instead of the usual eleven. We feel a little timid in accepting the role of leadership for the next two years, but probably an extra year of experience will help us to be better examples and more efficient citizens. Our main projects this year have been a fall festival, a magazine contest, and playing host to the seniors at the annual spring banquet.

A. organized September 26, 1944, with the following officers: Edward Ford, President; Arnold ‘Toomes, Reporter; Bruce Kirkman, ‘Treasurer; Edward [inshaw, Vice President; Sherrill Shaw, Secretary; Joseph Ridge, Watchdog. Under the management of our advisor, Mr. D. R. Reynolds, a new shop was completed during the summer of 1944. Since that time about $2,500 worth of equipment has been bought and put into the new shop. On December 22, 1944, a raffle and Christmas frolic held in the high school gymnasium netted us $225 on the debt. Soon after school opened an F. F’. A. federation was formed in the County with the Vice President, Edward Ford, being elected from the Randleman Chapter. In chapel we demonstrated Parliamentary Law and initiated the Green-Hands. The F. F’. A. has sponsored the Thursday night square dances held in the gymnasium. We plan to enter the ritual and Parliamentary Procedure Contest at Asheboro, March 12, 1945.

PAGE 28 Sports News The Randleman High School girls basketball team has had a very successful season, having won thirteen out of fourteen games. ‘Those who have participated in games this season are as follows: Blanche Jordan, Nancy Pickard, Eliza Belle Daniels, Pearl Moon, Kathleen Lovette, Audrey Blake, Rachel Talley, Sara Brown, Norma ‘Toomes, Helen Lanier, Ann ‘Talley, I.dythe Sutker, Virginia Hanes, Ruth Hudson, Vera Redding, Louise Pickard. A number of these girls have been very helpful in the physical education program in the grades. The R. H. S. girls played three games in the 1945 Randolph County ‘Tournament. In the first game we topped Gray’s Chapel with a 26 to 11 score. Following this, we met Staley in the semi-finals winning a hard fought battle with a score of 27 and 22. ‘This sent us to the finals against Asheboro High. Although the team played well, we were defeated with a 15 to 22 score. The girls who were elected for the all-county team were forwards: Moon, Randleman; Miller, Asheboro; Center: Hicks, Staley; Guards: Richardson, Seagrove; Pickard and Daniels, Randleman, Pearl Moon tied with Miller from Asheboro for honors as the most valuable player. Basketball has held the spotlight for the boys this year at Randleman High. We enjoyed a very nice season, having won 8 of 13 .games under the able coaching of Mr. D. R. (“Doc’’) Reynolds, and Manager, Edward Ford. We bowed to Asheboro for third place in the Randolph County Tournament. We also got the cup for best sportsmanship in the tournament. The regular squad this year consisted of Joe Brookshire, Charles Fulp, Connie Hardin, Bruce Kirkman, Ed Gray and Keith Pugh. Others who were out for basketball were: Gene Brown, Donald Yow, Frank Routh, Armold ‘Toomes, Arthur Wright, Bobby Wood, Jimmy Kirkman, Bernard Allred, and Billy Lawrence. After Basketball Season is over Randleman is looking forward to a good season of base- ball. Mr. R. C. White will probably be coach this year.
