Rodsphian 1950 ome VoLuME II Piblished Gn The Senior Class of Rock Springs High School Denver, NorTH CAROLINA Foreword We, the Rosphian Staff of 1950, have tried to capture and preserve for you the treasured memories of a happy school life. We have strived to portray school life at Rock Springs in all its scholastic, athletic, and social aspects. If a true picture of this spirit can be gleaned from the pages of the 1950 Rosphian, the staff will be repaid for its efforts. Dedication For her great interest in the school; for her deep under- standing of our views; for her cooperation in our work and organizations; for her kindness and undying gener- osity, we, the Senior Class of 1950, dedicate the second edition of “The Rosphian” to— MISS DOROTHA MILLER Marat ist nats eeenin ents Pacet eee nee eee era Principal, Geometry Morr steadeie Ota ce ieee eee eee See Home Economics Wie Cannes ' eas ARR Pe Sy oan eC OBA Science and: Math Wo (es GE Ns Bec ae ete Spanish, English Queens College MR Jn Wis LLIN cemrcnteitescarsceestai costes conte eecee Saereaet eee History, Coach Western Carolina Teachers College, Peabody MRS.

Class Song TunE To: Now Is The Hour Now is the time Our hearts are growing sad. We must go farther on Without pencil and pad. When we are gone Our class books left to you. We wish you luck and success In all you find to do. Now is the hour When we must leave Rock Springs School. Some may go farther on To learn the Golden Rule. Although we’re away Our memories linger still. We hope that all our dreams Will be fulfilled. NELLIE CAROLINE PERKINS Cass FLOWER CLASS COLORS Violets White and Lavender Crass Motto “Not merely to exist, but to amount to something is life.” (Non est vivere est valere vita) Senior His tory In spite of the fact that as Grammar Graders, it seemed to us that the eight years required to make us High School Freshmen would never pass; now, as Seniors, it seems almost as if it were only yesterday that forty bright-eyed students entered the first grade. After eight years of study and play we became the green freshmen of 1946-47. No doubt we seemed a bit awkward to the upper classmen; but through guidance from others, and through our own determination, we adjusted ourselves to the new ideas and rules of this more complex world of which we were a part. There were forty-one students in our class at this time. 1947-48—After we had passed through our freshman year we were no longer green at the job, but were ready to take anything that would help us climb the ladder of success. We experienced the change of principals with Mr. H. C. Little replacing Mr. J. E. Ramsey. 1948-49—This year was really exciting. We were no longer youngsters but we, a class of twenty-nine, were juniors. This meant that we would be honoring the Seniors with a banquet. With the able assistance of Mr. and Mrs. George Rodgers our banquet was quite a success. 1949-50—We are now dignified Seniors, nineteen in number. Our Senior Play came first; we hope that we succeeded in making it a play the audience will remember. It was a three-act comedy in which most of the characters were ridiculously funny. Our class has achieved many distinctions in our school career, but we were especially proud that one of our members, Marlene Miller, was chosen Christmas Queen of Rock Springs High School. Now, on the threshold of adulthood, ready for the life ahead of us, we are striving to live up to our motto: “Not merely to exist, but to amount to something in life.” NELLIE CAROLINE PERKINS Historian Class Prophecy Time marches on; and suddenly I see the pages of the future begin turning before us. It is now the year 1960, and as I gaze into the crystal ball, I see the 1950 graduates of Rock Springs High School heartily engaged in the activities of life. As I sit gazing, I see the former Flora Mae Ballard, a housewife, now busily tending her four sweet children. Next I see Annie Black, a Wave, rushing across the deck of an ocean liner. The vision of the liner fades, and I see Pauline Christopher harshly scolding her little child for sucking his thumb. Next I see Thelma Clontz, who is a nurse at Memorial Hospital in Charlotte, on her way to the nurses’ home where she is to meet her date. And there goes Ruth Dellinger and her husband into the movie; after seating her four boys in the cowboy show. I believe I see a blushing face. It’s none other than Mr. Carpenter after being arrested for speeding in Lincolnton by Bobhy Duck, now a state cop. Leaving Lincolnton we find Jean Edwards employed by Roses Five Ten Cent Store in Mt. Holly. She is hurriedly fumbling over the cash register after waiting on her customer, Mrs. Harry Price, Jr., the former Jackie Hager. Mrs. Price has now quit teaching to care for her two children. And who is this I see now? Why, it’s the former Doris Ann Henley who has just recently moved into her new home with a beauty parlor upstairs. She is rush- ing down to meet her husband who has just returned from work. Ah, this is a little confusing—how did that cow get in here? Why, it belongs to Bobby Harris’ new Grade-A-Jersey Dairy Farm just outside of Denver. After traveling on into Denver and pausing for the stop light, I see Marjorie Little just finishing a hard day’s work in her beauty parlor. She is now returning home for a restful evening to knit a pair of men’s socks for her hope chest. As I look deeper into the crystal ball I see Reid Luckey and Howard McIntosh landing at Morris Field Airport in Charlotte. And who is the dark-haired lady alighting from the plane? Oh, yes, Reid and Howard have just flown in from South America. And there I see Marlene Miller and her husband leaving the plane after spending a week at the beach with their small twin sons. A Yankee? What’s a Yankee doing down in Charlotte? Oh, that’s just my vision of the Yankee Sta- dium where I see Bobby Nixon about to become the New York Yankees’ star player as he plays off his second season with them. And now I look deeper; I see a dim shadow; the shadow fades away; and I see the former Nellie Carol Perkins on her way home. She steps into the car and greets her husband and small boy, after her daily grind as secretary of Stanley Mills. And now the scene changes from the town of Stanley to the city of Char- lotte. Walking down the street with a lot of grace and poise I see a faint character. Now I can see it’s none other than the former Esther Somers, now Mrs. Louis Presswood. She is on her way home after a day’s work as a secretary as Associated Transport Company in Charlotte. And now I see a hospital; it’s the Charlotte Memorial; and rushing down the hall I can see a small lady. Oh, it’s Louise Weathers. She has a nice smile, and looks as if she is enjoying her work very much. And now the ball grows dark. I see no more of my classmates. I glance at my watch and suddenly remember I am going to be late for my work as a telephone operator. I bid good-bye to my husband, and now I am off with the thoughts of my classmates still lingering in my mind, and I rejoice at the thought that they are all well situated in the activities of life. VerGIE Lou Munpy Prophet Last Will And Testament State of North Carolina County of Lincoln City of Denver Township of Catawba Springs We, the Senior Class of 1950, realizing that the final curtain is about to be drawn on our cover at Rock Springs High School, and knowing that we must now take our places in life, do hereby make our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To our principal, Mr. Little, we leave our greatest thanks for his kindness during our last three years here, and also all the unsolved Geometry problems. To Miss Miller, we leave our deepest appreciation for her help during our last year in school, ara also all the things we made in Home Economics, but keep all the knowledge we learned, for we feel that we’ll need it someday. To Mrs. Sigmon, we leave all the success that we’ve gained in the commercial field, also our deepest thanks for her patience with the play cast. To Mrs. Maxwell, we leave our love for Spanish and English, and also our thanks for her assistance with the play. To Miss Dellinger, we leave unwillingly our basketball suits, but willingly our Chemistry books. To Mr. Wallin, we leave our athletic ability and our Economic test papers. To Mr. Carpenter, we will all the tools we misplaced in the shop. To Mrs. Rock, we leave our musical talent. ARTICLE II To the Middlers, we leave our good luck so that some day they might see themselves as Seniors. To the Freshmen, we leave the knowledge that we didn’t get, so that they will have an easier time in high school. To the Sophomores, we leave our wish that their graduating class will make up for our small one. To the Juniors, we leave our home room and responsibilities. ARTICLE III To our friends, we leave our personal belongings as follows: I, Flora Mae Ballard, will my ability to sew to Tommy Goodson. I, Annie Black, will my height to Joyce Nixon. I, Pauline Christopher, will my quietness on study hall to Johnny Keever. I, Thelma Clontz, will my height to Roberta Lawing. I, Ruth Dellinger, will my curly hair to Ruth Harkey. I, Bobby Duckworth, will my friendliness to McLelland Sherrill. I, Jean Edwards, will my big mouth to Avoneal Lawing. I, Jackie Hager, will my knowledge to Cecil Ballard. I, Bobby Harris, will my seat in Chemistry to Elliott Loftin. I, Doris Ann Henley, will my place as editor of The Rosphian to Guy Killian. I, Marjorie Little, will my place on the Annual Staff to whoever will have it. I, Reid Luckey, will my height to Charles Ledford. I, Howard McIntosh, will my popularity to Bill Lawing. I, Marlene Miller, will my laugh to Iola Robinette. I, Vergie Mundy, will my wittiness to Betty Lee Kaylor. I, Bobby Nixon, will my weight to Charles Ledford. I, Nellie Caroline Perkins, will my popularity to Joan Dellinger. I, Louise Weathers, will my height to Betty Lee Kaylor. And finally, I, Esther Somers, will all I have to somebody who doesn’t need very much.
