I., inhu- emember As the old clock in the hall slowly ticks away the hours, the days, and the years, history is being made-your history. Moments of laughter, excitement, disappointment, and pathos, which you will some day wish to recapture and relive, are being written down in the book of Old Father Time. The time passes very slowly at first, but as it runs into years, we find that it is passing all too quickly. We long to stop the hands of the clock and go back into time to repeat the things we aren't satisfied with or to do again the things we enjoyed most. As the sands of time run more and more swiftly, we let our minds wander back remembering . . . Remember the time you tried to get rid of the butterflies before the curtain rose on your Senior play? Remember the terror that swept through you as Hamlet led in a football tilt and the wild joy afterwards when we made the final winning point? Remember the corny annual snaps we made on the circle-oh, yes, the circle-the most beloved of gathering places in our spore moments. e'l'ime... Remember the pang you felt when you first realized, Gosh, this is my last game-ever! And the choking feeling when you walked out on the field to say, Good game, fellows, tough luck! Remember our hilarious triumph when we found we had passed our exams and boasted, Well, it ain't easy! Perhaps you remember most of all the chapel prog-rams we ended by singing ln the Evening by the Moonlight for our special Lady in Blue. Remember how excited we were when our first HI-LIGHT issue came out? Remember the hushed silence when someone would say, This time next year . . . For some of us, the sands of time have run out-for others, the hour- glass has just been turned. As the Seniors open this book, the 1950 ROCKET, the hands on the clock will actually stop and we will be hurled into the past. For the underclassmen, time will not mean so much until you find that there is so little time in which to do so much. You, the students of Rockingham High School, turn the pages and remember--Remember the time of your life! There is a gracious lady whose presence pervades the halls of Rockingham High School. There is an enthusiastic sports fan who cheers our victories and consoles us in our defeats. There is a youthful spirit whose Irish wit can match our gaieties and whose heart can understand our problems. There is a staunch defender for any boy or girl who has ever attended Rockingham High School. To her we offer our l950 ROCKET-a small token of the love and gratitude we feel for our Lady in Blue.

HONEYCUTT MISS KATE FINLEY Superintendent Principal ADMINISTRATION All year round these two are on the job, for to them falls the task of keeping things ticking at Rockingham High School. , While the bells ring, the minute hand jumps, and the leaves of the calendar flip easily by, these two are always on hand to keep the clock works well oiled and to maintain a smoothly functioning organization at Rockingham High School. I2 GARRETT CROSLAND EUTSLER COTTINGHAM OUR FACULTY Classes at 9:10, staff meeting at 5:15, basketball practice at 4:00, and play rehearsal at 7:00-whatever the hour, our timekeepers are on hand, giving their talents and energy to make our four years in high school more than days which must be checked off the calendar before we get our diplomas. Under their competent guidance, our life at R. H. S. becomes worthwhile, not merely as a time of preparation for life, it becomes life itself, rich, vital, and full of experiences. It becomes the utime of our life at Rockingham High School. MRS. MARGARET GARRETT MR.

One evening in the year of 1970 a happily married couple were sitting in their living room looking at the 1950 Rocket. Yes, Mr. and Mrs. johnny Castor, better known as johnny Cailor and Helen Carter were rem- iniscing. 'lYou know, John, it seems incredible that all our classmates turned out to be geniuses V' Oh no, Helen, not incredible. That class was something special! Let's look at the pictures more closely. Rea Hall'J Purple Pills for Pudgy People are being used by every overweight man and woman in the country. Uldean Shaw is living proof of the pills! effect. She weighs only 110 and Gainey'r Modeling Agency, her former employers, are now desperate for a mannequin who can model size 42 dresses. Deane Bolton and Aline Srnith have made great contributions in the field of beauty culture. They've produced a new method for curling hair, called the Atomic CC2 method. Of course, Don Todd, con- troller of Atomic Energy, had to give his OK. I'll never forget his immortal words, 'To what better purpose can atomic energy be used than for the beautification of American womanhoodf Yes, john, that quotation will surely ring through the corridors of time, and, speaking of beauty, the last issue of UJ.fery'J Utteraneey carried a story on the famous Hollywood stars, fnanila Humphrey and Charley Twitty. They are giving the movies more romance than Carrie Lee Farr can write scripts for. There was also an account of the box oliice hit, The Great Bnrhheadf' produced by Richard Moore and Kitty Davidron and directed by L. A. Carpenter and Glenn Carter. That must have been quite a show, for the cast included such famous stars as Carl and Clarence Terry, Belly Swinh, Mar- .rhall Haywood, fean Hawhinr, fean Good- win, and Harry fenhinr. However, nobody ever got to see how the movie ended, for when Charles made love to Juanita everybody fainted, including Ed Panhey, who was oper- ating the projector. That must have created a riot, Helen! Almost as sensational as the one Fred Hatch- inron was involved in. He was offered a trip to Venus if he would paint Marjorie Coving- ton'.r legs for the fashion magazine, Mimi. Fred went to Venus all rightgby Dyson muscle power! I wondered what happened to him. Look, John, hereis jimmy Cole'.f picture. He has rewritten the Constitution of the United States. One of the new laws states that every high ranking official must at all times wear a yellow bow tie. jimmy wanted to require yellow sox, too, but he thought of Mr. Warren and quickly revised his plans. !'He has been approached by the reformer firniny Srniih, who has started a movement for the prevention of teaching English in high schools. 'It's inhuman and crueli, he thundered forth to a Parent-Teacher meeting in Madison Square Garden. I doubt if jimmy gets much support, Helen, I was about to suggest that you advise him to contact Glad yr Slam, but I recall that she has resigned as city editor of the New York Timer to devote all her energies to her new book, Helpful Hinlr for Handling Headlinerf' Gladys is not the only one of the class who has become a writer. Peggy 'Wiggins' new book has revolutionized social etiquette. One now speaks of Peggy Wiggins rather than of Emily Post as the last word in courtesy and social correctness. And that reminds' me, John, have you read faeh Millenlr new book, The Fine Art of Social Connerration? It's amazing! !'And speaking of conversations, I stopped by the sophisticated Fifth Avenue shop, Bonnie'J, the other day and had a most interesting talk with Chip Pryce, who was shopping for a fur coat for his wife, Agner. She is now a leader in the field of plastic surgery. Chip makes clay animals and photo- graphs them while Agnes molds noses! Quite a fascinating couple, Helen. I, too, met an interesting couple recently-Alvin Levine and his wife, the former foe Ann MrBryde. They were married in the ball park on the night of a great baseball victory. joe Ann hit five home runs and threw six men out. One of the men was Alvin. He became furiously angry but later got over his tantrum and proposed to Joe Ann. Now they have a lot of little bats, I mean brats. 'lAnd speaking of baseball, Margie Wilforz has just signed with the New York Yankees. She has struck out 378 men this season. Quite a gall She is that, John, and she can be matched by Riehard Morrif, Harris Gibson, and Eagene Bellarny, the famous opera stars. They are on their way to Vienna for the next six weeks and are taking Nellie Dawhinr with them because she is the only one who can cook corn bread to suit them. While these folks are in Austria, they plan to visit Bill Goodman, keeper of the National Zoo. I wonder if they'll meet Tornrny Garrett? You know, he learned to speak French so much better than English that he moved to Paris and is operating an exclusive night club 670155 prop eoy there. I'm sure youlve heard of his famous chorus line made up of Fran loner, Elbel Poole, Roralyn Garqlre, jean Sbelfrard, Peggy Davis, and Belly Enbanbf. Bobby Edwardr does the choreography for their famous precision routines and Calberine Brrebwell designs the costumes. I really would like to see them perform, john. Perhaps we can go over some evening in L. B. and Morrir' rocket ship. They have decided to call it the Liltle Belly in honor of Maurice's wife. Is that so? I hear Manerr Poole will act as pilot when the ship carries Leon Flowery to Mars to begin his campaign for governor of the universe. foyre Sannderr and Dolorer Morgan will go along as Leon's private secretaries, while jack Gibron will be on hand with his camera. He's the one who took those beautiful pictures at Helen McQueen and C, D. Nirbolr' wedding. That must have been a brilliant occasion. They were married by their good friend, Rev. Cbarler Bowen. Belly Pbillipf and Medrialb Kilaer, the famous supreme court judges, served as brides maids, while Senator-Marvin Brown was best manf, That was a distinguished gathering, Helen. Wasnlt the' reception given at the home of Steve Ledbeller, the oil magnate ? Yes, it was, john, and that reminds me of a little gossip Steve's wife, jacquelyn, was telling me. You remember Cbarley Wrape and the wonderful position she holds on the Ledbetter Oil radio program. Well, she keeps saying Love that Earl instead of Love that oil. How awful, Helen! That habit formed in high school will cost her her job if she's not careful! lt will, indeed! But look! Here's a clip- ping I've been meaning to show you. Lonife Srnilb, in her column, 'lPeeks by Nightf' lists the top ten characters of the year. Mary Bowden was named Miss Ideal Nurse, while Belly Carter led the list of outstanding lab- oratory technicians. jobn Linlon holds the title of the most popular band major in the country and Marlba Whitlock was voted the most prosperous manufacturer in the field of bubble gum. Dotry Reynoldr won the academy award for her performance in jenkins Blows the Horne ! Lenlz Franklin and Belly Brand won an Orcar for their thrilling performance in The Life of Panl Player, the heart warming story of a great doctor. Annie Mae Cox won the scientific award for finding a vaccine that would keep dogs from chasing cats and cats from chasing rats. Polly Robbins was voted the best dressed woman in New York City and Craig Merbaru was given the literary award for his best seller, 'The Key to the Tadlockf But look, Helen, you almost missed this item. Louise says farther along in her column that Panl Enerbarl has brought world wicle fame to himself and Mary Hnnler Cooinglon. Paul discovered that Mary Hunter, by living in seclusion and practicing constantly, is now able to type 500 words a minute. Paul has persuaded W. 0. Horne to use a few of the millions he made at car racing to publicize this typing phenomenon. However, W. O. thinks the investment might not be such a good one. You know Eleanor Webb'r new shorthand typer, The Mighty Gbanll, has made the typewriter a little out of date. 'E'Well, you can count on W. O. to make a wise investment. And by the way, since Mary Loaire Mearbarn has bought out Rose's and Berry Reynoldr has secured a partnership with the Richmond County journal, don't you think we might wisely invest some of our savings in those two concerns ? We might, at that, Helen. But what interests me most right now is our plans for the week-end. Oh, you remember, john. We've prom- ised the Walbinr fBilly and Anne Cadienj to visit them. Bill has a wonderful library of first editions and has employed Cbarler Sellarr as custodian. He formerly was trou- bled with friends who borrowed his books and never returned them, but now he has no worries. Charles allows a person to keep a book only one hour before he goes after it. He says he has the most trouble keeping up with the dictionary Dol Benoirl and Gray Snead wrote. Everybody wants it! Charles can handle the situation, though. Were you listening to that radio program? I'll declare Raymond Przlill is better than Frankie Sinatra ever wasll' Isn't he! Well, that's all of the pictures of the Class of 1950-but say, what has hap- pened to those unforgettable teachers of ours, Mirr Crorland and Mrr. Garrell? Did they manage to survive after this unusual group graduated ? Survive, Helen? Well, I guess they did! Mrs. Garrett has written a book, 'Life Begins at Three-Fifteen' and Miss Crosland has just finished her finest novel, 'Nine Months in A Snake Pit.' Intriguing titles, thosell' Indeed, they are, Helen, and need I tell you?

We, the Class of 1950, being fully aware of the shortness of the time left to us and knowing from past experience how swiftly will pass the hours which now separate us from our day of graduation, do pause for a moment to dispose of some of our most treasured articles, attributes, and pastimes. However much we regret the necessity for the disposition of these possessions, the pitiless tick of the clock warns us that our days at Rockingham High School are numbered and that the time is close at hand when we must depart. The hours spent within these classrooms, the minutes consumed in friendly conversation, the flashing seconds of joy or grief will come no more for us. Welve used them all-filling some with pleasures, some with sorrows, some with mistakes -but all with memories. Now, as the last grains of sand trickle through the hourglass of 1950, we pause to bestow the following bequests to the friends who follow us. It is the hope of the class that the items herein mentioned will serve to enrich and enliven the years, the days, and the hours that will go to make up the time of your life at Rockingham High School.

I, Calvin Ussery, bequeath to the Freshman class my ability to speak in public. I, Billy Watkins, will not be able to will any- thing to anyone, because if I leave anything I will not have anything to carry with me. I, Juanita Humphrey, advise Peggy Maples to accept the dimples I am using, exercise them fre- quently, and watch the results.

I, Betty Little, leave my famous family name to be perpetuated by my little brothers and sisters. I, Jack Millen, am sure that the faculty can recommend someone who can use my reluctance to talk. The line forms on the left. I, Harry Jenkins, hope that Jesse Calvert will take over my task of enrolling in all high school English classes. He will be handicapped, as I have been, by the fact that there are only six periods in a school day. I, Edward Pankey, will leave my job of running the movie projector to some movie-fan who likes to get off class. I, Betty Jean Phillips, considered leaving my love for convertibles to Charles Wrape but this bequest might make him dissatisfied with his A- Model.

I, Kitty Davidson, being of a sympathetic nature do will my sharpest bicuspid to Toothless Thomas Templeton. I, Mary Hunter Covington, leave all my school books at the use and disposal of Bernie Webb. If someone else will donate a ball and chain perhaps he can be made to pore over said textbooks as I have done. I, Charles Sellars, leave my library duties to any underclassman who can qualify as an amateur detective. Said recipient should also have in his ancestry a strain of bloodhound to aid him in locating overdue books. I, Uldean Shaw, leave my place in the lunch- room to Laverne Kistler, who looks as if he might be trusted not to eat up Mrs. Dix's profits. I, Gray Snead, will depend upon Petunia Straw- bridge to enliven Mrs. Garrett's English class next year. I, Charley Wrape, leave all my old English themes on file for Miss Croslandls next year's classes. I, Jimmy Cole, leave my bag of wind to the school at large to be used in supplying refreshing breezes on warm days.

I, Tommy Garrett, do will and bequeath to Miss McCormic my knowledge of French. I, Rosalyn Gasque, hope that Bobbie June Dabbs can use my loud voice and noisy manners.

I, Jean Goodwin, leave my French book to my sister, Ila, on condition that she will take good care of it. I, Rea Hall, will my trim figure to Peggy Maples. I, Leslie Horne, will at least live inches of my height to Robert Flake so that he'll be big enough to play basketball. I, L. B. Howell, leave my seat in the Senior class to my cousin, Jean, in hopes that in the next 20 or 30 years, she, too, will become a Senior. I, Betty Jenkins, will my beautiful singing voice to Julia Marshall Ratliff. I, Frances Jones, leave my beautiful, high soprano voice to Bobby Leak if he will promise not to abuse this valuable possession. I, Medriath Kiker, will my quiet and reserved manner to Margaret Baxley. I, Steve Ledbetter, leave my Northern accent to Mrs. Mulkey. Cfaa W!!

I, Morris McLaurin, do bequeath my love for music to Charles Richardson, in hopes that some day he will learn to play his clarinet. I, Helen McQueen, will my long black curls to Eddie Campbell. I, Mary Louise Meacham, would like very much to leave my big mouth to Frances Ann Dobbins. I, Dolores Morgan, am going to leave my old rnaidish ways to Aileen Poole. I, Craig Meshaw, would like very much to leave my budding beard to Henry Capps. He should fertilize it frequently to promote luxuriant growth. I, Richard Moore, leave my habit of roaming the halls to Bernice Campbell provided the students can place him on the Council and thus make the privilege legal. I, Thomas Burkhead, being of sound body am, however, weak minded enough to give up my courteous manners to the Peek boys. I, Peggy Davis, leave the future junior-Senior entertainment committees with a desperate need for a clever tap-dancer. I, Bobby Edwards, leave all the A's I have made to Mrs. Strum with the plea that she use them generously at six-week intervals. I, Marshall Haywood, leave my horn rimmed glasses to the student council, said glasses to be used in detecting dust while checking rooms. I, W. O. Horne, have considered leaving my driver's license to the bus drivers but on second thought, maybe that wouldnit be a good idea. I, Fred Hutchinson, leave a blanket invitation to all my younger friends to come and watch my skating exhibitions at Glass Roller Rink. I, Richard Morris, leave bus number 20 to Charles Kearse to dispose of in any manner he sees fit. He may see me privately for suggestions. I, Alvin Levine, leave my job of handling all the money in R. H. S. to the only one who ap- proaches me in financial acumen-the Richmond County Bank. I, Deane Bolton, will the little prop which I use to hold my nose in the air to Miss Finley to prop open the front dcor during fire drills. I, Mary Bowden, leave my giggles to Miss Cot- tingham. She is advised to keep them on ice ready to use in brightening up the next dark basement room she teaches in. I, Eugene Bellamy, hereby will my favorite foot- ball jersey to Liston Franklin with the reminder that said jersey is unaccustomed to soap and water. I, Charles Bowen, am looking for some budding business man to take over my duties at the supply shop. Applicant will be carefully considered. I, Betty Brand, will my last bottle of peroxide to Penny Hudson. I may decide to throw in my hair too, for it's had about all the treatments it can stand. I, Marvin Brown, leave the junior girls to fight over my peaches and cream complexion. I, Marjorie Covington, being unable to manage more than one member of the Dyson family, am trusting Margaret Baxley to cooperate in the enter- prise we have jointly undertaken. I, Nellie Dawkins, leave my ability to make people like me to any lonely freshman who wants more friends. I, Eleanor Webb, will my boisterous ways to Billy Pope. I, Martha Whitlock, sorrowfully leave my love for chomping gum to jesse Calvert. I, Peggie Wiggins, after due consideration, here- by bequeath one of my typewriter erasers to Mrs. London under the condition that she will give it to any student who makes as many errors as I did. I, Marjorie Wilson, leave a book entitled How to Get Out of the Ninth Grade to Tim Peek. I, Oscar Young, leave a bottle of double-strength peroxide to jerry Brooks. I, C. D. Nichols, leave R. H. S. in peace and quiet. ARTICLE III: Be it known, by these presents, that this last will and testament represents the true desires of the Class of 1950 and was written under no duress save the necessity incurred by the in- exorable passage of time. We have written this document while in full possession of our mental faculties and have been by no means deluded into an exaggerated opinion of the monetary values of the articles we herein bequeath to our friends. These bequests are made in an effort to pass on to those who take our places some of the privileges and problems which may for them, as they have for us, fill so memorably the hours spent at R. H. S. Subscribed, sealed, and published by the Class of 1950, testator above named, as and for its last will and testament in the presence of us, who at its last request, have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses this june 1, 1950 at Rocking- ham High School, town of Rockingham, County of Richmond, and State of North Carolina.

D ireftor' Cfwllailfz It takes six weeks of hard work and wonderful fun to bring up a curtain-six weeks crammed full of hours of mumbling lines and rehearsing business, minutes of doubt when you know you'll never be able to do it, and flashing seconds of hope when you begin to feel that maybe you can after all! Come on, throw yourself into it! . . . You don't feel the part! . . i'Take that line again, again, AGAIN! And finally the hands of the clock point at eight, and, breathless with anticipation, you watch the parting of the maroon velvet curtains, and, almost blinded by the footlights, you gaze into a sea of faces, take a deep breath, and fall into character. The moment has come-it's your Senior Play! This fall we produced Love Is Too Much Trouble by Guernsey LePelley.

Do her eyes look right?', . . . Hand me that stage brace! . . . Do you have a coffin you wcn't be needing? . . . Wanta buy a ticket ?

Do you suppose you could ask your baby to stop crying? These nine juniors are the official hosts and hostesses of our high school. They must be diplomatic enough to tactfully abolish a crying baby from the audience. They must be gracious enough to make any person feel at home in our auditorium. They must be dependable enough to be on hand when needed. These marshals were chosen by their classmates because they are believed to possess those qualities. 75 THEY'RE MAKING TIME The cream of the crop! Is your scholastic average A? If it's only a B, have you participated in extra-curricular activities? Can your reputation stand the close inspection of the faculty and the student council? Do you show possibilities of future leadership? If you can answer Yes to all these questions, you're either a fugitive from a school teacher's dream or a Beta Club member l You're a member of the only organization in our high school which one must be asked to join!

Coming from behind two early defeats, the Rockingham High School baseball team made a clean sweep through the District and was the Champions of District 4. Playing a hard-hitting team, Whiteville, the Rocks lost the first game of the Eastern semi-Hnal playoffs in White- ville by a score of 5 to 0. The second game between the two teams was played in the Rockingham Ball Park. Whiteville, again, trounced the Rocks by a score of 14 to 1. Since Coach Bill Eutsler's return from the Navy in 1946, the baseball team, under his coaching, has won the District twice and tied for top honors once with Sanford and Laurinburg. The players graduating last year were jack McIntyre, George Little, Robert Jones, Ira Ussery, and Arvid Levander. Rockingham 10 ..,, 8 2 .... 3 .... 10. 5 .... 13 .... 6 .... 15.
