Dole IDC ye ih FO) aN School History Randleman School began its history in a small building consisting of one classroom and a vestibule. It was located where the Pilgrim Holiness Church now stands and was known then as Bloomfield School. In 1885, E. S. Coble was its faculty. During this period the Negro citizens of the community held monthly religious services in the building. Bloomfield was a special charter school, supported by funds provided by a special tax rate on the district. As its enrollment increased, a primary department was created which occupied the vestibule. Around 1900, three more rooms were added. ‘The records show that in 1902, this school had the largest enrollment in the county. Among the outstanding teachers of Bloomfield were W. C. Hammond, Mrs. Laura Worth, Miss Martha Redding, Mrs. Allie Marsh Copeland, Miss Florence Redding, Miss Babel Dancy, Mr. D. C. Johnson, Miss Nannie Battle, and Mr. J. C. Weatherly. Randleman’s present modern school had its origin in 1904, when Mr. John Ferree donated the land which was then a clover field. Bricks for the new school were made at Hinshaw’s Forks, south of Whitehall. Mr. Henley made the bricks and contracted to furnish and lay them for the eight rooms and auditorium for $10,000. ‘This was the first brick constructed graded school in Randolph county built by public funds. Mr. John L. Harris was its first principal. About 1918, the Ferree house and land was purchased by Dr. Wilkerson and converted into a hospital. After a few years this property bought by the ‘Town of Randleman and given to the school for the use of the primary grades, was later converted into a principal’s home and teacherage. Sam Newlin, Arch Bulla, Stanhope Bryant, and Ed Kirkman were among the members of the local board when the new school was constructed. Following Mr. Harms as principal of the school were E. H. Smithdeal, J. B. Robinson, W. P. White, N. F. Farlow, D. M. Weatherly, Ed Carroll, Curtis Car- roll, EK. L. Shelton, H. H. Hamilton, R. C. White, W. A. Young, and the present principal, L. H. Ballard. The records show that a Mr. Carrolton began a term following N. F’. Farlow, but for some unknown reason he quietly left the school after one month, leaving no forwarding address. In the summer of 1914 a tornado lifted the roof from the building and a fund from county funds was secured to repair the damage. Commencement for the first cleven-years graduating class was held in 1916. In 1926 a special tax rate of fifty cents was voted for building expansion. ‘This resulted in the construction of ten additional rooms, central heat, plumbing, and the beginning of the department of home economics. On October 4, 1926, Mr. J. W. McElhannon, chairman of the local board, presented a petition to the County Board of Education for Randleman’s school to become a part of the county system. ‘This was accepted by a special act of the Legislature in 1927. Randleman school then ceased to be a special charter school. The first gymnasium in the county was built here in 1928. In 1933 when the county was re-districted, New Market and Worthville were placed in the Randle- man district. Providence high school was added in 1945. A commercial department was started in 1935, vocational agriculture in 1941, and its modern shop was constructed in 1944. ‘The last classroom addition to the school was in 1937, when four rooms were added. The first twelve-years students were graduated in 1947. A few of the faculty members who have served faithfully for several years are Miss Ellen Barker, Miss Myrtle Cox, Miss Una Plott, and Mrs. Mary Bullard. � ? y aculty Mr. Frank Amick, Randleman, N.

Class Poem In our poem of parting There are two distinctive notes— The first is one of gladness, The other tightens our throats. In a sense, we're glad we're leaving; Though it’s rather saddening, too, To leave our teachers, classmates, And the things we used to do. In all the phases of school life There have been moments, both serious and gdy; We shall hold these memories dear to us— Not even time can steal them away. From Randleman High we're departing; From the school we love so well; And where each Senior’s path will lead— Only time can tell. ALICE VICKORY. Senior Crass FLOWER Gardenia Crass Morro “With the ropes of the past, we'll ring the bells of the future.” Crass CoLors Maroon and Gray Class MASCOTS Sandra Cox Forrest Lee Hall Class Song (Tune: Tree in the Meadow) To our teachers and classmates We now say goodbye, And with regret we leave our school Our old Randleman High. We shall always remember As the years go passing by, The fun we've had in your classrooms Our old Randleman High. As we travel on down life’s pathway To do our chosen task, We'll always hold our cherished thoughts Of school days of the past. Always in the future, On you we will rely And still with pride, we'll speak of you, Our Dear Old Randleman High.

We were all very thrilled—in fact we were so thrilled we sort of ran wild for the first few weeks. We just couldn’t get used to the idea of changing classes. However, aft er a week or two of worrying our faithful teachers, Miss Reed and Mrs. Allred, we finally settled down for two successful terms. Then came our sophomore year which was lots of fun and a little more successful; for by this time, we had learned to take on a few more responsibilities. We were glad to welcome to our school Mr. Paul B. White who was our science teacher and basketball coach. We enjoyed his coaching us. As Juniors we felt that we were a little more advanced and we had lots of fun throughout the year. We welcomed to our school Mr. L. H. Ballard, our new principal. ‘The school sincerely thinks he is one of the best we have ever had and appreciate the many things he has done to improve our surroundings. ‘his year we enjoyed selling tickets for the football season. Our Magazine Campaign for the Junior-Senior Banquet turned out very successful. We also enjoyed taking Dramatics for the first time, under the instruction of Miss Marion Morton. ‘The Dramatics Club had a wonderful trip to Chapel Hill during the year. We think Dramatics improved our school very much. At last our Senior year has rolled around. We got off to a late start, but taking everything into consideration we have had a wonderful year. We have enjoyed very much having Miss Betty Hayes and Miss Myrtle Cox as our instructors. Our officers for this year are: President, Reid Webster; Vice President, Betty Jo Pugh; Secretary, Mary Lou Moser; ‘Treas urer, Richard Jarrett; Assistant ‘Treasurer, Carol Fleming. The Basketball girls and boys have enjoyed having Mr. Frank Amick for our coach this year. We think he has done a swell job in helping us improve our playing and we appreciate his bringing the Monogram Club to our school for the first time. ‘Though this ends the high school history of the class of “49” we hope that it is a good beginning for the future classes of R. H. S. SARA JARRELL, Class Historian. 5 14 b Class Prophecy I have been on a long, long journey, away from my friends and classmates. It has been difficult to find what they have been doing since our graduation in 1949 at dear old Randleman High School. But it is surprising how I have run into some of them in my travels. ; In Paris a few months ago, I went to a fashion revue where Mary Lou Moser won first prize with an exquisite gown of her own designing. She has really gone far with her talent. In England there was a parade to honor the top ranking officer of the United States Woman’s Army Corps—General Carol Fleming. In Afnca I visited a Mission where I saw Nina Jane Kennedy assisting her husband, a medical missionary, in his great work among the heathen. With them also was Sara Helen Yow, a nurse, who has dedicated her life to the service of others. When I boarded the ship U. S. S. Randleman to return to the United States, I found the captain, Joe Wright, giving orders nght and left. While walking down Fifth Avenue in New York, I was attracted by a sign that said “Vickory and Hinshaw, Interior Decorators.’ ‘The names sounded familiar so I went in. There, Alice Vickory and Geneva Hinshaw told me they were very busy redecorating the New Rocke feller Center. At the Metropolitan Opera, Bernard Allred has really made a name for himself. Radio City was my next stop. That famous singing star, Peggy Yow, was putting on her daily program of popular hit tunes. Directly after her program came Bobby Wright, comedian, with his new show “It Doesn’t Pay To Be Ignorant.” I boarded a train, picked up a newspaper, and began to rea d. It was “The Randleman Morning Star,” edited by Delia Hanner. ‘Turning to the Society Column, I saw that the former Josephine Reece, now married to a famous lawyer, had entertained Senator James Kirkman and wife at her home in Star Valley Forest, one of the better sections of Randleman. The former Mary Millikan and her husband had given a dinner in honor of Bernice Garner, who after many flings had finally made plans for a wedding to a famous artist. Dr. and Mrs. Kenneth Farlow had entertained friends at the Randleman Country Club. I turned next to the comic strip. ‘There was my old favorite, Dick Macy, written by Bruce Trogdon. Further down was Grinnin’ Jack by Dan Stout. From the comic strip I turned to the advertisements. I read: Sophia Beauty Salon, owned and operated by Cherry Bullard and La Rue Newby. ‘The Paris School of Dancing, operated by Ann Parris and husband. _ ‘Traille Funeral Home—David Traille, Manager. Pugh’s Success School—owned and operated by Betty Jean Pugh. Richardson Business College—Mary Lois Richardson, President. Olivera Davis and Wilma Hollingsworth, Land Auctioneers. Gibson Ice Cream: Company—Manager, Mary Robbins. S M Silk Mills, owners—Earl Small and Benson Marsh. ‘The Smart Ladies’ Shoppe—Sara Jane Jarrell, owner. Pugh and Gregson Construction Company—Thurman Pugh and James Gregson, owners, Turning through the newspaper again, I noticed articles of various types. A new drug, which made old ladies look beautiful again, had been discovered by Mildred Redding. It was near the opening of the school term. On the faculty of R. H. S. were Nancy Hayes, Bible teacher; Betty Jo Pugh, Physical Education; and Hubert Allred, Agriculture. On the sports page was a large picture of Bascom Wood who is playing first base this season with the New York Yankees. Also there was a picture of Brownie Dawkins, woman golf champion in North Caro- lina. When I began to read the love-lorn column, I found that it was written by Betty Jane Johnson. A new hospital had just been built in Randleman and Betty Lou Trogdon had been chosen as head nurse because of her outstanding record of service to others. By this time we had nearly reached Randleman, so I folded my newspaper and prepared to leave the train. Outside I hailed a taxi owned by the James Allen Hall Cab Company. How Main Street had changed—so many tall buildings! I noticed a sign which read— Dr. Sally Hylton, Dentist. Suddenly I met Ida Mae Pugh, who said she was the private secretary of Robert Wood of the Wood Detective Agency. She was off for lunch, so we went into the Palace Cafe owned by Hope Snyder. Over our hot lunches Ida Mae told me about many of our classmates. Margaret Barker had married a politician and was living in South Carolina. Ruth Crotts was a French teacher in a college in Virginia. Evelyn Farlowe was the private secretary of Gordon Spencer who owns a fly paper company at Worthville, N.C.

Due to the lack of experience of our players, our season was not so good from the viewpoint of winning. Richard Mansfield and Jimmy Short were the leaders of the backfield men and Gene Young, Dewey Hardin, and Jimmy Dean were the lead: ing linemen. All of these will be back for next year’s season and with the added experience, great things are expected for the future. Football at R.H.S. has but recently been re: vived and with a new athletic field for next year, we hope that our school will come into its own in this sport.
