Testator, ELIZABETH MISENHEIMER LYML Pfwphwff It was a bright summer day in 1955 and I had just flown to a friencl's home in my newly pur- chased helicopter. As we were discussing e-vents i'n our conversation wandered back to the class of '45, which had been scattered to all the corners of the United State-s. We had heard or seen little of its members since the day of our graduation, so we decided to consult her Ouija board and learn of their whereabouts. Whom should we ask about first? Well, why not take Fred Cooke? So my friend asked Ouija what Fred's present occupation was. It began to spell the answer- Machinist . Here , she said, is a list of our senior class. This may help us in recalling names. Murphy Hampton was first on the list so we inquired about him. Ouija spelled these letters quickly: F-L-Y-I-N-G C-A-D-E-T. Next in turn was John Lentz and to our amaze- ment the word spelled was author . What has he Written? we asked. The reply was, Travels Without a Donkey . We needed no help on the next name. We both knew that the Republicans had just put Lucius McHargue in office as the President of the United States. She knew where the next on the list, Bill Sides, was. He was a famous G-man with headquarters in Washington, D. C. We knew that Bobby Poole had become a mil- lionaire. fBob must have had a rich relative.J He had just invested part of this money in Ruth Elledge's third finger left hand. Glenn Ray Holshouser was a foot doctor now, it told us, at the John Hopkins Hospital. ffm emma The following answer which said Junior Hols- houser was manager of the Broadway Honeys was not 'very surprising to me, because I remem- bered his ability to attract all those Freshmen and Sophomore girls in high school. I had seen Junior Wyatt only two years ago, and his name on the list reminded me to tell my friend that he and Betty Sue had a cute little glass home in Rockwell. Another couple that I knew of from our class was celebrating their paper anniversary the fol- lowing week. Yes, they were Elizabeth Misen- heimer and John Yelton. The next name on the list, that of J ake' Setzer, need not be asked about since he was known world wide for his famous invention of the Youth Crystals , which made any person who would partake of them remain in the prime of his youth forever. Another great invention, invented by Calvin Shaver, has just been demonstrated by his wife, the former Addie Rattz. They call it a blush-o- meter and it really works! Ouija told us next that Ben Yost had become a comedian in Hollywood, and Carr Kesler is a movie producer there. This mysterious board told us next that Quentin Eller, whose wife is the former Clarene Harwood, was now a lawyer in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He probably had seen Major Carl Shuping, Ouija said, was -stationed at Fort Bragg, and Captain I-Iarold Hodge, who was still longing for Mildred's ove. p Next it told us that Dot Boggs was owner of a hat shop in Miami, Florida Cprobably putting Paris out of businessj. Next door to her Pauline Crook owned a new beauty shop. It seems as if we did have some school teachers from our class too. They were Betty Lou Brown, who Ouija said was in Wilmington, Thelma Cozart, teaching short hand at Rockwell High, and Billie Mae Morgan, also teaching at Rockwell. If you think they don't have basketball there this year, you're wrong, because I know that Merrell Good- man is their coach, A Well, well, since the airplane has become so popular we have quite a few air-line hostesses 5K b - ....,... ...,. l ' from our class members. They are Rose Brown and Florence Kluttz. If Ouija has related it to us correctly, we have three hostesses of army camps from our class. I'll bet Mildred Hill, Susan Drew, and Doris Shipton are well-liked by those soldiers. As Ouija reports, many of our classmates have taken over the noble job of caring for the sick. These are: doctor, Frances Corlg superintendent of nurses, Gertrude Meek, Cadet Nurse, Jennie Wilhelm, and nurses in various hospitals in the United States: Brownie Fisher, Evelyn McCarn, Troy Morgan, Doris Vinson, Pearl Morgan, Betty Sue Safrit, and Beatrice Hoffner. Would you have believed me if I had told you 10 years ago that some our Seniors would actual- ly go to New York? Probably not, but Bonnie Fesperman and Katherine Cox have become fa- mous Powers Models. Sarah K. Misenheimer is there too, working as a magazine designer and fashion editor, and Imogene- McLemore is on Broadway as a ballet dancer.. We asked next of Mary Null, then Cora Eller, and Ouija spelled T-Y-P-I-S-T for each. Betty Lou Shafer has become a traveling stenographer for Mrs. Roosevelt. They have been helped very much by Pansy Hampton's great invention of a typewriter that does not make errors. Well, 10 years certainly have brought a change in our lives. Some more of our class members have considered matrimony and are now happily living with their chosen mates. We didn't ask this mystic board who the lucky guys were Cprobably you knowj but these are the girls-June Miller, and Helen Holshouser. The next name was Everette Bean. We had heard that he had settled down on a small farm at Liberty, and was raising children and potatoes. With this done, we put the board up and I prepared to leave Minnie Lee's beautiful little home, at which I had spent such an enjoyable aft- ernoon. By the way, she's the Mrs. Caw-you know nowj. As for myself IMartha Peelerj I've been working as secretary for the past five years. With lingering memories of the class of '45 still on my mind, I again climbed into my helicopter and went up toward the sky. MARTHA PEELER, PANSY ,HAMPTON ff' ' . Q As I look back into the fall of 1941, I see in my mind's eye a hundred and two Freshmen enter- ing into high school. We possessed the usual proud and confident spirit of green Freshmen. In such a spirit we began our first year in high school with the organization of our class and the choice of those whom we deemed fit as class leaders. Our two supervisors were Mr. McSwain and Mr. Ervin. We passed through the usual trials and tribulations of the Freshmen with smiles. Progressing in work and play the hours rolled into days, the days into months, and finally we bade good-bye to our Freshman class, knowing we would soon take our place as Sophomores which was vacant for us. Leaving our green stage, S2 of us entered as wise Sophomores. Under Mrs. Dinnings and Miss Boland, our supervisors, we elected class leaders. Knowing that Success Comes Through Effort we strove to attain a higher goal, As the year drew nigh some of our girls looked forward to being waitresses at the J unior-Senior Prom. Years come and go and so did this one leaving for most of us pleasant memories. Now we were beginning to feel important-we were Jolly Juniors. Sixty-two of us, Jolly Juniors, started a new and an outstanding year with a clear mind and the determination to work just a little harder. To most of us it was a year that will live on for years to come. Our supervisors were Mrs. Bost and Mrs. Hudson. First came our Junior-Senior Banquet which faculty as well as students enjoyed. Then came our High School Play, The Little Clodhopperf' Many of the characters came from our class. As the year came to a close it was the pleas- ure for a few of us to be marshals at the Senoir Commencement Exercises. When we returned, lordly Seniors, to begin our last year's venture, only 60 reassembled. Before Hmm, Him: long, we realized that the envied position as Seniors embodied much hard and earnest work. To guide us through this all-important year the following officers were elected: President, Jake Setzerg Vice-president, Lucius McHargueg Secre- tary, Elizabeth Misenheimerg Treasurer, Junior Wyatt. Our supervisors were Mrs. Miller and Mr. Brown. The Rocket Staff came largely from the Senior Class. Martha Peeler was chosen as the one capable of being Editor-in-Chief. Minnie Lee Russell was appointed Associate Editor by the faculty to assist her. Other members were Sports Editor, Bonnie Fespermang Business Manager, Lucius McHargueg Fun and Feature Editors, Eliz- abeth Misenheimer and John Yeltong Artists, Sa- rah Katherine Misenheimer and Jennie Wilhelm. With the change from the lowliness of the Fresh- men to the dignity of the Seniors, our pride re- ceived a boost. From our class came many athletic students, vigorous, bubling over with energy, willing to face disaster with smiles-that's 'the type of stu- dents that came forth from our class to enter into Rockwell High's basketball teams. In the closing months of our life at Rockwell High, there were many events that will be pleas- ant to remember. We enjoyed two class parties, one was at the Scout Hutg the other, at our gym. After all these events and more, there was one, the last and best of all, Commencement Week. Our days at Rockwell High are over. We have fought a good fight, we have finished thelcoursef' and as we leave you who have meant so much to us, we extend to you our devotion and grati- tude. Our hope is that we may live up to the principles' and ideals you have given us and that we may strive to maintain a better world for to- morrow. , Historian, MINNIE LEE RUSSELL BEST DRESSED BEST LOOKING Mffmfe 'lee ?U5SGJ'MU,f?0!?V ffampfan fff2Cff'ffff5 f14'3-'9f?f7ff3'7f3 ' 'JOM WAN ., V,,, .,:,:gJ:gr.5a:5q-1:f,.

Even though basketball has been discontinued for the past two years at Rock- well our girls have proven to the county, as well as other schools, that they still know how to play basketball. To be exact they have only been defeated twice and that was by the two best teams in the county. They proved that they could still be good sports even though they were beaten. ' In '42 our girls' team also received the County Championship Trophy and it was a close run this year. After the experience received this year our girls are going to give plenty competition next year. - After a loss of only two game up to this point, our girls' team owes most of their success to Mr. Brown who has assisted them and trained them in the way any full-time coach would have, even though he still had the responsibility as principal of Rockwell Schoolsf We wish to take this time to thank him for the helpful instruction and aid during this season of basketball. Due to our annual going to press early we are unable to complete our score. Here is the score at present: Rockwell 43 .............. Rockwell 18 Rockwell 31 Rockwell 21 ..............

Second Row: Junior Wyatt, Ronald Lyerly, 'Fred Cooke, Carr Kesler, Vern Cozart, Melvin Arey After two years of discontinuing basketball our boys' team is showing up nicely. During our last year in '42 the Championship Trophy was presented to the Rockwell boys. By the next year, after some experience, we expect to be right back on top of the list. The old Rockwell High spirit has been resumed and the student body as well as the community have really shown their respect and interest to both boys' and girls' teams. With our usual coaches in the service of our country and no one available as coach, our principal, Mr. Brown, took on the heavy responsibility to assist the boys' team. He really gave them the proper training needed and has done an excellent job after dividing his time as principal and coach. We wish to thank him for the instruction and guidance during this season. - Due to our annual going to press early we are unable to complete our score, but here is our boys' score at the present: Rockwell 30 Rockwell 15 Rockwell 21 Rockwell 16 ..............
