The yeors here in There is only one member of our faculty who comes in contact with every student of Rocking- ham High School before he graduates. There is no member of our faculty whose own personality more clearly reflects the principles which she tries so conscientiously to instill in us. Through her classes in American history we have gained a stronger pride in our democratic heritage, a clearer understanding ofthe problems that face us, and a deeper faith in our country's future. ln her personality we have found the toler- ance, unselfishness, and gentleness of spirit that true democracy demands. We are dedicating our l954 Rocket to Miss Ruby Tolbert as a gesture of our love, gratitude, and respect. 6 Q MISS RUBY TOLBERT 7 vwvwqwgf . Mr. J. E.

We feel a little superior as we march out first in chapel, congregate on the circle at noon, and proudly climb our beloved front steps. We guard our privileges jealously and shoulder our responsibilities manfully. We maintain a history-making attendance record, lug home tons of books and, with a bit of longing, gaze back over our carefree days as underclassmen. Soon we'll be following in the footsteps of the senior classes who have gone before us, but wherever we go, we'll carry with us memories of four years of fun, work, and fellowship.

We spent long hours in the gym and, breathless with anxiety, produced our Junior-Senior. We campaigned as never before and chose a Student Government President from among our classmates. One of us was chosen by the Senior Class to receive the Citizenship Cup.

Headed by three central officers and two representatives from each homeroom, all students in R.H.S. banded to- gether to assume the responsibility for the cleanliness of the building and grounds and for maintaining a high standard of honesty throughout our school. A successful innova- tion this year was the Point Board, which did much to distribute honors and jobs.

You see only the finished product, we see the sleepless nights we spent planning layouts and photographs, the classes we missed for staff meet- ings, the endless miles of stairs we climbed hunting down victims for the photographers. Behind each ad is the determination of a harried member of the business staff, behind the write-ups are pencil stubs, headaches, and well-thumbed dictionaries. Every page meant hours of work and worry. Our memories and dreams, and yours, are all here- recorded in your ROCKET for l954.

T I woulcIn't marry you if you were the last man in the world? lnto our Senior Play went more worry, fun and heartache than anyone could ever imagine. Night after night of rehearsals-repeating lines over and over, then finally make-up and stage fright and at last we faced the crowd.

BAND ln memory we see their precision marching, their prancing majorettes, the glorious hues of the color guard. ln our ears rings their stirring music, and again in retrospect we relive those priceless moments when our band was the center of attention and we, the students of Rockingham High School, basked in reflected glory.

THE SCHOOL CHOIR In music we found a release for every emotion. Moments of despair, ecstasy, and reverence were re-echoed in our songs, both popular and classical. We sang on many occasions and before a variety of civic groups. Throughout the year we entertained our- selves and others, throughout our lives we shall carry with us the love for music that we found in our high school chorus. 52 BEGINNING CHORUS Julia Ballard, Barbara Blackwell, Margie Boon, Glennie Brigman, Sara Collins, Linda Coving- ton, Peggy Currie, Martha Dawkins, Eleanorise Thrower, Joyce White, Jackie Coleman, Junior Farris, Don Freeman, Sybil Dawkins, Suzanne Ellerbe, Helen Flowers, Lela Gainey, Geraldine Gillis, Barbara Hill, Peggy Hinson, Delilah Hudson, Ella Pankey, Ann Underwood, Henry Gibson, Jackie Howington, James Saunders, Darrell Ussery, Kitty lnfinger, Wilma Jorclan, Mildred Lampley, Johnsie Maness, Ann Martin, Nancy Moore, Rachel Morris, Ellen McCaskill, Lindo McDonald, Ruth Webb, Larry Johnson, Jerry Knox, Jimmy Webb, Richard Davis, Eva Pankey, Jean Parris, Jane Porter, Charlotte Rainwater, Betty Jean Scllars, Margaret Smith, Martha Snead, Norma Spencer, Peggy Stevenson, Mary Lee Terry, Susie Webb, Joyce Welch, Marcus Morris, Tom Outen, Zebbie Webb, 53 FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA We burned our fingers, ripped out endless seams, and smiled graciously in receiving line.

THE FRENCH CLUB Bewildered or blase, according to our status as first or second year students, we became proud members of the French Club. To stay in was a matter of keeping a B average in French during the first year. Along with our good times we were supposed to learn to speak French, sing French, and play games in French. Some of us did . . .

THE NATIONAL BETA CLUB We began our Beta career by trembling in our seats during a tapping ceremony one autumn morning in our Junior year. Black- robed Seniors spoke about qualities of leader- ship, scholarship, and achievement, and we wondered how we could qualify. But, incred- ibly, we did. Then came a week of torture and fun as we were initiated, and finally we were full-fledged members, holding office, attending meetings, lost in a whirl of bake sales and con- vention plans-serving our school through the Beta Clubl JUNIOR MARSHALS Dignity, tact, and dependability were the essential qualities of a Junior Marshal. It was our secret wish to be chosen for this honor. Picture our elation when we saw our names posted on the bulletin board. We then brushed up on our manners and dragged out our evening attire, for we were the official hosts of our school.

THE LIBRARY CLUB We were guardians of thousands of books- millions, it seemed, when we dusted shelvesl We delivered countless overdue slips to care- less borrowers, helped bewildered Freshmen find a book about Abraham Lincolne-a small one, pleasel , planned bulletin boards, spon- sored Book Week, and fiercely maintained silence in our domain. The friends we made in the library, both real and literary, will remain with us through- out our lives. Officers of the club this year were as follows: President, Frances McCroskey, Vice-President, Sammy Key, Treasurer, Frances Baldwin, Sec- retary, Sue Warner, BUS DRIVERS Jam sessions with Miss Finley, driving tests, safety rules drilled into our heads, learning to tame screeching brats into polite passengers- we took on these responsibilities and many more when we decided to drive a school bus, but the satisfaction of doing an important job made up for the inconveniences.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Eager to prepare for our chosen career, we joined the Future Farmers of America, a club mixing fun with work and play. We struggled over project reports, raised animals and crops, made speeches, built and sold furniture, and engaged in constant competition with clubs from other schools. All the while, we worked in the knowledge that we were helping to make secure the futures of ourselves and our families. 62 THE DEBATE CLUB As debaters we had a special kind of talent.

This well known newspaper is a non-profit publication, all proceeds being donated to the Society for the Provision of Juke Boxes for High School Class Rooms. It is located on the thirty- first floor of the new DUNN Building, which was designed by JIM KATZ. Low bidder on the job was the CURRIE Construction Company who left off the roof of the struc- ture, thereby cutting expenses and ad- mitting much beneficial sunshine and fresh air. The owners, KEN COVINGTON, JANE OLIVER, and AUDREY SNUGGS, are re- ported to have finally located said company in Alaska, where they are installing air- conditioning units in igloos. Just as I finished typing my story for the next edition about the scandal that was created at the NAPIER Club when BETTY ALLRED bopped BO DORSETI' for winking at the cigarette girl, MARY K. O'BRIEN, editor VANCE HAMILTON called me into his office to give me my next assignment. When I entered, Vance was busy polishing his good-citizenship awards, but he looked up long enough to tell me that I, with STEVE RUSH and CAROL WARNER, the photographers, was to cover the launching of the first Rocket ship due to take off in an hour for its maiden voyage to Mars. As Carol, Steve and I rushed madly out of the office, I accidently bumped into the copy boy, DONALD SCARBOROUGH, send- ing papers flying everywhere. After collect- ing our wits, we darted to the elevator where we met the former FAYE ADCOCK with her twin boys. Faye, whose mathe- matical genius has astounded the world, has now aroused much discussion with her latest theory concerning triangles, in which she expresses the altogether original idea that angles can be stretched into straight lines, thereby eliminating the necessity of measuring the angles at all. Among other citations, she has received special recog- nition from the geometry classes of Rock- ingham High School. Rushing from the building, we hailed a BLUE Cab. As we climbed into the cab, we noticed that the driver was one of our old school chums, MARTIN BROWN. After we had seated ourselves, Martin refused to budge an inch until we had paid our home- room dues, overdue since l954. Having no time to argue, we crossed his palm with silver, gave him the address, and were off in a hurry for the airport. As we rode down the streets of the tremendous city of Rockingham, we noticed the businesses now owned and operated by some of our former classmates. We saw the largest bake shop in the state, owned and managed by SYLVIA GOODWIN, suc- cessor to Duncan Hines. EVELYN COW- ARD, chief chef, with her capable staff, MARY EDNA BELLAMY, PEGGY LAMP- CLASS PROPHECY LEY, and BETTY RASBERRY, prepared the refreshments for the ball held in the home of DAPHNE MCLEAN, operator of the world famous Foundation for Fortifying the Feminine Physique. Daphne has employed SYLVIA GIBSON as her private secretary and has adopted as her slogan, Bop 'em Back, Babes. CAROLYN KIRK is the head instructor in Daphne's chain of physical culture salons. We passed another well known building, the SHEPHERD Building, named in honor of our classmate, SHIRLEY SHEPHERD, who was the first woman to run for the Presi- dent of the United States. Calling herself The Shepherdess of Shorn Sheep, she was elected by a large majority. Located in this building is the school of baton twirl- ing owned by BOBBIE MCRAE and managed by SUZANNE JENKINS, who won the world championship title for baton twirl- ing several years ago. Suzanne is now con- valescing in a rest home, having only re- cently succeeded in extricating herself from the pretzel shape into which she twisted herself at R.H.S.'s last homecoming game. Just as we passed the TAYLOR Brew Company, we got into a traffic jam, and when we looked ahead to see what the hold-up was, we noticed the chief of police, JACK TANNER, with some members of his capable squad, BOBBY ADCOCK, PETE FISCHER, and JIMMY DAVIS, trying to break up a brawl between JERRY BROWN, coach of the LAMMONDS Giants, and DONALD WEBB, coach of the VISMOR Midgets. After what seemed hours, we were off again, and, as we drove up to the runway of the WALLACE and WALLACE Inter- national Airport, we saw our rivals, BILLY BALDWIN, photographer, and EVA WELCH, reporter, from the BULLARD Blare. Many of the celebrities had already ar- rived for the launching of the ship. Some of the most outstanding personages present were PATSY BURGESS and VIVIAN DAVIS, who are making pictures for the WITHER- SPOON Movie Company. They were wear- ing dresses especially designed for them by the universally famous couturiers, BOWLES and BOWLES. Another outstand- ing star present was Miss BETTY BAL- LARD, who just finished the picture, In the WRIGHT Mood for Love, a breath taking saga portraying the life and loves of JO WRIGHT, founder of the famous Gooky Blub Bubble Gum Company. Just as the mechanics, MIKE O'BRIEN, RAY HAMILTON, and BILLY REYNOLDS, were making their last check-up of the ship and ROBERT GULLEDGE, the owner and operator of the Gulledge Oil Company, was fueling the extra gas tanks, a car slid alongside the curb. Out stepped GERAL- DINE MCKENZIE, JEANETTE HAYWOOD, JOANNE WEBB, and MAXINE RORIE, who, with fashion designer BOBBY GOODMAN, CLASS PROPHECY were taking the trip to model the new Moon Beam gowns. These girls were dis- covered in the third line chorus of the Broadway show, Troubles with Bubbles. Goodman conceived most of his fashion ideas from the costumes in this show. Just at this time the designer of the ship, JIMMY MASKE, with the sponsors, FRANCES BALDWIN, MARY ELLEN BAUCOM, and CAROLYN BENOIST, and the professors of astronomy, SHIRLEY Mc- LENDON and PEARL LILES, walked out of the main office talking with minister WHITESIDE, who will christen the rocket to Congresswoman JAMERSON, and speakers for the occasion, FRANCES Mc- CROSKEY and ALETTA MCDONALD. After a time everything was ready and all passengers boarded the ship. Steward- esses EDNA PEGRAM and PEGGY LONG seated everyone. Among the passengers was Dr. KAY CASTOR, who is at present chief surgeon at Joe's Pool Room, where her main cases are patients hit by pool balls. She, with her assistant, Dr. BETSY COVINGTON, and their staff of nurses, PHYLLIS DAWKINS, ROTHA DAWKINS, and MARTHA HENDERSON, were well prepared with their little black bags in case of any emergency that might have arisen. Others taking the trip were scientists HARRIET RAINWATER and SYBIL MEL- TON with their secretaries BOBBIE GIB- SON, CLARA HARDEE, and SALLY Mc- DONALD sent by the FRITZ, SAUNDERS and ELLIOTT Research Laboratory to take notes on the expedition. FLOYD and PRIS- CILLA ANDREWS, who are now managers of the Penegar Motor Company, along with the sales manager, MAYO CAPEL, and designers, PEGGY USSERY, IRENE SMITH, and ELOISE MARTIN were taking the trip to get ideas for their new rocket- mobile. The famous Dr. SCHOLL, author of the best selling Romantic Research Report, was traveling to Mars to get star dust to sprinkle into all young lovers' eyes. When everyone was settled, the pilot, JIMMY BIDDIX, better known as Speed Demon Biddix, checked with all stations. When he was given the signal, he took off. After a successful journey through outer space we landed on the planet Mars. Every- one felt a thrill of exaltation as the same thought ran through each mind. We were the first earthmen to successfully reach another planet in our solar system, but, what's this? lt looks as if the Martians have been expecting us, for, as we eagerly scan the terrain, we see coming toward the ship a large welcoming committee. As they come near us our feeling of exaltation slowly ebbs away. Who should the welcom- ing committee be but our Senior teachers from R.H.S., Mrs. Dockery and Miss Lamm, with Miss Crosland far in the lead. We should have known we could never get ahead of her!
