As usual, it brought with it the first touches of autumn, crisp, clear air, and that wonderful sport termed football. But that September was different for many of us, because it marked the beginning of one of our greatest games. i When the whistle sounded for the kick-off, we were the scrub team, the Freshmen. We took our places on the bench with the rest of the team and gloried in the little action that we saw. The second quarter began and we were Sophomores. We had handled the ball and were ready to run a few plays on our own. We were thrilled when we were chosen as waiters and waitresses for Junior-Senior. We felt sure we were on the road to stardom when we made the Varsity athletic teams. 'xx if VVL JCCL-0 rf A n ,gi . Q ,Frhb .

We must leave behind us, too, the shoes we have filled these four years. The soles of those shoes are made from abundant school spirit and high tradition. They are laced with the principles of Student Co-operative Government and lined with the high char- acter of every student in R.H.S. These, we are entrusting to you to fill, hoping you will keep them always in the straight road and out of the gutters along the way. With the strains of 'lPomp and Circumstancen still echoing in our ears, we will leave our beloved school. But our spirit will always be here. Though we go, we will always be in the stands cheering for you who will follow us. Through you, we will relive in our memories the thrills, the victories, and the defeats of the greatest game of all-our school days! l n vdN 'f W1nw, i . -f alayhi MMM '13i'A , wtf' ' 'iq-143, M N v pg- if W FS: xiii? .

When we make a good play, we know they're on the sidelines cheering us on. Miss KATE FINLEY Principal I 4 eum mnlom They don't give us laps around the Held, but research papers, instead. Our practice sessions are not on the gridiro11 after school, but in the classrooms from nine until three-thirty. These are our coaches, who drill us and keep us in shape for the game we're now playing and who are preparing us for the games of the future. You can be sure that each time you donlt do your best, one of these coaches will look you straight in the eye and in a firm voice say, HBack to the bench!

Curt has been a President to be proud of, and he has had able assistance from Vice-President Henry Boggan and Secretary Barbara McDonald. These are the students who are recognized as the leaders of Student Government, but behind them stand the committee chairmen, who regulate traffic and keep our grounds clean and our classrooms pleasant to work in-tasks which have been accomplished only through the cooperation of each member of our entire student body. The executive council welcomes the guidance willingly given by the faculty in handling disciplinary cases, but we also appreciate the fact that their confidence in us sometimes permits us to carry the ball on our own. lt is only through this training in leadership and self-discipline that we have been able to further the ideals of Student- Cooperative Government-Aa tradition in R.H.S. for more than twenty years. 52 EX ECUTIVE COUNCIL Bill Gain, Nora Lee Davis, Steve Rush, Gracie Allen, Bill Hasty, Shirley Mullis, Bobby Garter, Martha Ann Bray.

DUNN 2 The Rockets moved back into the win column by trounc- ing the Green Wave of Dunn 20-7. This Win brought the Rocket standing in the Conference up to 4-l. Jerry Brown made two of the TD,s, while Bobby Goodman rolled up another. George Wallace kicked two extra points. MPunk Warrick led the forward Rocket wall on defense. CHEERLEADERS--Buck Row: Priscilla Penegar, Glenda Garrett, Jimmy Maske, Shirley Dixon 0 Fran! Row: Barbara Newton, Kay Cooke, Ann Allen, Cecilia Scholl, Jean Walker, Betty Warrick, Margaret Hursey. HAMLET An estimated 4,000 fans saw the Rockets smash Ham- let's Red Rams 30-6. Jerry Brown scored Rockinghamis four touchdowns. George Wallace seemed to be con- sistent, too, in converting perfectly after each TD. Lloyd ,lohnson was also credited with two points on a safety. Robert Everett was the 'finipenetralzlev in the defensive Rocket line. LAURINBURC The Rockets next tangled with the Laurinburg Scotties, but there was nothing Scottish about the 24-0 score the Rockets ran up. Each backfield position was repre- sented in the scoring columnsg ,lerry Brown, Ted Taylor, Harold Bullard, and Bobby Goodman each ran for TD,s. The Rocket position in the Conference was fourth with a 7 and 1 record. Doug Brown played a splendid dc- fensive game for thc Rockets. LUMBERTON The Rockets made it 8-1 and four straight as they swamped Lumberton's Pirates by the largest score of the season, 34-0. Jerry Brown punched through the Pirate line twice for scores, while Bullard, Goodman, and Herndon added one each. George Wallace made four of his extra point attempts. Lloyd .lohnson and Wallace were great performers on defense. 34 SCHEDULE September 5.. 4,,, Rockingham 26 . . . . . , . .Bennettsville 7 WHITEVILLE The annual Homecoming game was a gala affair in that the Rockets whitewashed Whitevil1e's Wolfpack 17-0, thereby taking away Whiteville's second place in the conference. Nora Lee Davis and Curt Melton were crowned King and Queen of Homecoming. A huge parade preceded the game with Miss Lamm's 12A homeroom winning the prize for the most attractive float. The large crowd watching the all-important game saw a held goal kicked by the sure toe of George Wallace. ,lerry Brown also ran for two TD's. Wallace also added two perfect extra points to make a total of 5 points. Jimmy Poplin shone from his tackle position on the forward defensive wall. HENDERSON The Rockets nearly had the scores turned from the preceding game against Whitevilleg but this time they came out on the short end of the score, as Henderson's Bulldogs made 16 points in the second half to take the game 16-7. This was the second time that Henderson had beaten Rockingham for the Eastern Class AA Finals in the last three years. The Rockets, lone score came in the first quarter on a 12-yard quarter-back sneak by Bobby Goodman. George Wallace kicked the extra point. The entire Rocket line was strong on defense with Doug Brown and George Wallace being most outstanding. Homecoming King and Queen: Nora Lee Davis and Curt Melton September 12. . . ....

This is your announcer, Edward Osteen, from station FATE in the city of Tomorrow, bringing you once again the spectacular annual football game between the Long Herrings and the Brown Campbells. '6Since it is a little before game time, we shall take you down into the stands to see a few of the celebrities who are present today, but first a word from one of our sponsors, Burgess' Brew, Inc., managed by limmy Diggs. Here is the Smith trio, Maxine, Joanne, and Betty to let you in on an important secret. tlf you're feeling Drye and Blue, Step up and have some Burgess, Brewf Thank you, girls, and now back down to the stands. A 6'Clancing around, I see that glamorous new star discovery, Mary Ellen Bolton, escorted by actor foe Warner. Miss Boltonis otherwise impressive entrance is some- what hindered by her fashion designer, Etta Gene Ewing, who is trailing after her on all fours with a mouth full of pins attempting to perfect the hang of Miss Boltonis skirt. ln the same party are the famous fbefore and after, boys, Henry Boggan and Boyce Moore. You will recall that these two figured prominentlylin the world-wide controversy which recently arose in advertising circles, when the public suddenly stopped eating Wheaties. Down in section 6 I can see that the Newton School of Modeling is well repre- sented here today by models Jerry Carpenter, Barbara Holder, Faye Oliver, Bonnie Player and Nora Lee Davis. All of them are falling over one another in an attempt to get in the range of the camera of Wayne Davis, staff photographer for Readers, Digest. 'fUp in Section 9 I see the wealthy Wall Street broker and playboy, Mr. .lohnny Oliver, with his staff of stenographers, including Lucille Williams, loan Covington, Sarah Dabbs, Margie Simmons, and Mavis Gainey. The confusion in that section seems to be caused by the frantic efforts of Miss Williams to control the electric typewriter. HI notice that the famous soil conservationists, Charles Seago, Ellis Hatcher, Martin Moore, .lack Collins, and fohn Thomas have stopped here to see the game while enroute to the West to give a series of lectures. Their grim expressions result from their disapproval of placing a football stadium where corn would have grown so well. 87 enior Kfads Mojo ecy The uproar at the farjnorth entrance signals the arrival of several members of Congress. I notice particularly Robert Ellerbe, Cynthia Covington, Betty Hicks, Harry Calvert, and Richard Jones, whose entrance elicits a round of applause from the spectators. The loud squawks being picked up by the loud speaker are the loudly voiced objections of Congressman Ellerbe. lt seems that Congresswoman Covington has just stated to a reporter that she favors the abolition of all subversive groups such as the Klu-Klux-Klan and the Black Spots. There are Mary fo Ingalls and .loan Matson, who run that famous speed-talking school, with some of their star pupils, Polly Mishoe, Bobbie Snuggs, foyce Horn- buckle, and Virginia Beverly. 'gl see Mitchell Wilson and Sylvia Goodwin, who are employed at The Library of Congress. They seem to have brought along their blood hounds which they use in tracking down lost books. The dogs seem to have picked up a trail-Look! lt,s Ernest Parker! w The Garris and Gainey cooking school has several representatives here today. Some of these ladies, whom you have probably already seen on TV's Kooking Kollegef' are Doris Gillis, Beatrice Heaten, Carol Scott, Martha Sedberry, and Mavis Hogan. Taking seats immediately behind these 'Queens of the Cuisine' is the owner of 'Harness Recreation Center' and his manager, Harold Phillips. A little bird tells me that 'Goosei Ellwanger is soon coming into the business as junior partner. Annie Pearl Mills, Lucille Cable, and Peggy Lampley are representing the women's branch of the service today, and smartly clad airline stewardesses Frances Abee, Shirley Eaton, Wyona Russell, and Betty Morris also ascend the stairway with co-pilots Glenn Covington and .lames Walker. 4'There is that famous marriage counselor, 6Punk: Warrick taking his seat by his colleague Ann Yates. ' ufimmy Watkins and Pearson Dawkins, two well known livestock breeders, are now entering the gate' followed by foyee Thompson, famous flea trainer, with '0scie.' MNOW we see the chattering delegates to the annual Beauticians, Convention. Some of them are Shirley Childers, Barbara Russell, lean Lee, and Dorothy Brigrnan. These girls were appointed delegates in recognition for the great service to woman-kind which they performed when they originated the new hair-dogs, the Sheep-dog Shingle 88 enior KLM prop ec? and the Airedale Droop. They are escorted by local barbers limmy Lassiter, Raymond Dawkins, and Jimmy Watson, whose shop offers a free blood transfusion with each shave. 4'Amid the outstretched autograph books of screaming bobby-soxers, we see Americaas No. 1 knave of hearts, Charles Kearse. The 6Caruso' of today has employed .lane Doster to handle his fan mail. 6'Psychologist Shirley Dixon, recently back from a tour of children's homes all over the world, is accompanied by Virginia Causey, the famous painter. Miss Causey plans to illustrate Miss Dixon's new book on child psychology entitled 'Spank Your Child Only in Self Defense., It's time to remind you that Lanceford-Austin is the car for you. And now, I see our time is running out, so I,ll ask our technicians, Willie Webb, Perry Bradshaw and Earl Wiggins to switch us back to your FATE booth situated atop this mammoth Speight stadium where bandleader, Bill Allen, is striking up McAulay,s 'Victory March' as the two teams, led by their captains, George Wallace and Curtis Melton, tear out onto the field. Ready for an emergency, the ambulance from Macon Hospital is on hand with its efficient crew, Dr. fohn Snoddy and his staff of nurses, Betty Story, lean Walker, Carlene Warner, and Barbara Gordon. Looking down below, I see Donald McDonald, the genial police chief, patrolling the gate and conversing with rookies, Leon Richardson, Richard Poston, and Ralph Bellamy. '4The coaches, Bill Cain and Lloyd Johnson are giving their teams last minute instructions, while the three high stepping majorettes, Nan Kelly, loan Ormsby, and Carolyn Morgan can be seen in the background talking to Paul Scholl, a famous player. Some other outstanding players in the starting lineup are Bob Baacom, ferry Bradshaw, and Sandy Freeman. Y The band is now playing our National Anthem as Floyd Parker sings. 4'Standing at attention is Troop 45 of the Boy Scouts of America headed by Mr. Sam Jones and across the aisle Paula Sanford respectfully rises with her F.H.A. girls. The game is about to get underway now as the vivacious cheerleaders run onto the field. Well! If it isnlt Miss Kay Crosland, Miss Doris Lamm, and Mrs. Virginia Dockery.
