Nancy Blac'kwc'la'cr hr-Nt jackie Bos! Wim L -:xx sv Q.-4 we Marfloa Basinger According to the old saying. still waters run deep, and to label Martha the most in love surely proves it. No one would guess it because of her quiet demeanor, innate reserve, and her devotion to her work. jimmy Beaver Maybe two of the reasons for Jim- my's being the most popular boy are his ready smile and pleasant greeting. Even when he gripes,-as most of us do,--he does it in such an amusing way that no one takes it seriously. Although she is studious and unas- suming in school, Nancy is no shrink- ing violet when it comes to basketball. Not only is she one of the outstanding players on the team, but she also car- ries her sportsmanship over into her daily school life. This one quality alone will do much to make her successful wherever she goes. Doris Bos! Quiet, reserved, ready to help when she can but never forcing herself upon anyone, Doris rightfully deserves the title of lady, Like all real ladies, she considers her school work important enough to take up a major share of her time,-a practice which will pay big dividends later. 'tBest-all-around girl so her class- mates say, and that includes many things. One has to have qualities of scholarship, willingness to work, and the ability to put loyalty to onc's school and friends above personal desires. These and more we Hnd in Jackie, as is further shown by the fact that she made all-county team last year and was elected captain of her team this year as well as editor-in-chief of the annual. Best-all-around title she truly de- serves. Iamcs Brown Chosen best-dressed boy by a class poll, James typifies the average Ameri- can school boy. Quiet, courteous, and obliging, he is a welcome addition to any class. Susie Cheek If you want something done wellQ just call on Susie. Although she was voted the best student among the girls, she is never too busy to help someone, be it teacher or fellow student. Such an attitude exemplifies the teachings of the Golden Rule, and insures happi- ness and success for its possessor. Dick Cooke If you see a group of seniors having the times of their lives, you can safely bet your bottom dollar that Dick is m the midst of it. Jolly, yet sincere fun loving, yet studious, he is a Dukes mixture of good qualities. No wonder he was chosen best-all-around ' Lloyd Cornelius Quick to learn, ambitious to make the most of herself, yet ever ready for a rousing good time,-that's Lloyd, the gal with the soaring I. Q. Vern Cozart What would school be like if Vern were not around to flirt with the girls? His teasing and wise-cracking cer tainly keep life from getting boresome as well as from becoming too quiet If carried over into study hall, however that could be a mixed blessing where teachers are concerned. Betty Eller No one can deny that Betty is a very friendly person with her pleasant dis- position and a cheerful hello for those with whom she comes in contact. She has evidently discovered the truth of the old saying that 'ito have a friend, you must be one. Duane Eller Courtly and charming in his man ners, Duane is just the opposite of his usual stage role, the dastardly v1l lain. Although his stay in Rockwell High has been short, he has made a pleasant addition to the class and 1S well-liked by all. Roselyfz Fisher Gay, vivacious, bubbling over with enthusiasm for whatever strikes her fancy, Roselyn has made herself a fa- vorite member of her class. Her skill on the 88 keys doesn't lessen her popu- larity either, for she's usually the cen- ter of an admiring group when she plays, be it Bach or boogie-woogief' Dorothy H olshouser Paul Hill It may be his humor, or it may be the fact that he is the cutest boy according to class statistics, but Paul's every remark brings appreciative chuckles from his feminine listeners. The fact thas this is Leap Year should make his shyness an asset rather than a liability. Biggest pest? Maybe yes, maybe no. At any rate, she has a very nice smile that she can turn on when she thinks the occasion rates it. Everyone will agree that we need more such smiles in this old world, so keep smiling, Dot! Davicl H u ff num Willie H olsbouser Tall and stately in appearance, yet gay and full of fun, Willie is a person of contrasts with a charm all her own. No wonder she has lots of friends! When you mix wit with a dash of mischief and spice it with natural abil- ity to play the clown, you get such a person as David. If he has a care in the world, he knows how to hide it when there's a chance to make some- one laugh. Life should be pleasant for one who can bring laughter to those around him. Phil H 0 well Handsome is as handsome does, so goes an old quotation. Even if Phil had not Won the title of best looking boy, his wit, sociability and skill in mimicry would make folks forget about looks anyway, and don't forget he's captain of the basketball team. Lorie Lookabill Jolly and easy-going, Lorie is like a good tonic to those down in the dLunps. ' It's impossible to stay gloomy around her, for she can always see the funny side if there is one. It's not sur- prising that she has such a wide circle of friends. julia Lyerly Fern Kluttz Biggest baby! That sounds like a tease for Fern who is a very capable person, even if she does come in a small packagef' After all, quality counts more than quantity when one is selecting friends. Laugh and the world laughs with you could be Julia's philosophy of life. By her witty comments and effort- less humor, she does her share to bring gayety into this sometimes dreary world. Betty Parks Margaret Lyerly Always neatly and appropriately dressed for the occasion, and wearing that just-stepped-out - of - the - band- box look, Margaret well deserves the title of best-dressed. Let no one think she considers clothes alone, for her class Work gets a full share of her attention. Most bashful? Well, her classmates voted her that, but who would ever guess it? Betty likes to express her own opinions,-and does. After all, what sort of a place would this old world be if we couldn't! Betty cer- tainly doesn't let life get dull around her. Wayrrze Morgan 'tMost in lovel' his classmates say, and perhaps they're right. He shows symptoms of having been bitten by the love-bug, but it isn't serious enough to prevent him from keeping at least an attentive eye on his school respon- sibilities. 5-Ig Larry Taylor Handsome, amiable, agreeable, yet conscientious about his work, Larry is as good a sport in school as he is on the athletic Held. Betty Rose Sides Betty Rose doesn't depend on looks to carry her along in school even if she was chosen the best looking girl in her class. Although she is popular and enjoys fun, she has more serious things Glenn Weafzt on her mind. Kathryn W'ag011er Trim and dainty as a daisy, Kat is pleasant to look at as well as fun to have around. Perhaps these qualities, joined with her many other good points, helped to win her the title of most popular. Billie While Statistics can tell tales! Anyone so self-reliant and so capable of carrying responsibilities as well as Glenn is, could never be considered a baby. He will surely be missed on No. 60, as well as on the campus when he leaves Rockwell High via the Graduation Road. Billie hasn't been with us as long as some, but she has made herself a very valuable member of the class. Her pleasant disposition, easy-going man- ner, dependability, and her reputation as a good student make us glad she decided to come to Rockwell High. Betty Yelton Cute and attractive, pert enough to hold your interest but not enough to be saucy, Betty is a favorite with those who know her. It's not dillicult to understand why they call her the cutest girl in the class. flaur' SEPTEMBER 1, 1944 Dear Diary, Today we entered high school! How proud we are to be out of the grades. But can you imagine! They call us green freshmen. We don't mind being called freshmen, but we do resent that word green, Yet at that, we forty young things are rather dumb about high school ways. It's a pleasure to have several teachers rather than the same one all day long. Our home room teachers are Mrs. Beaver and Mrs. Puckett, and we selected our class officers, President-Larry Taylor, Vice-Presi- dent-Donald Carroll, Secretary-Dick Cooke, and Treasurer-Phil Howell. SEPTEMBER 1, 1945 Another year has passed, Dear Diary, and now they've nicknamed us Sophomore ra-its. I've heard of dirty rats and sneaking rats, and I hope neither of these applies to us. Mrs. Bost is our home room teacher for the year, and our officers are: President-Dick Cooke, Secretary and Treasurer-Jackie Bost. Since there is to be no graduation class this year they've given us the privilege of calling ourselves juniors. MARCH And now it is spring! and we have had wonderful success with our play Thread of Destiny. This was by far the most exciting event we have had thus far. The cast included nearly the whole class. APRIL 7 Tonight was the Lil Abner-Daisy Mae party given in honor of the seniors at the gym. We shall never forget the good times we shared tonight. Many pleasant memories will linger with us throughout the summer. SEPTEMBER 1, 1946 Again! A year has rolled around, and here we are at last really deserving the title of Jolly Juniors. This name sounds much nicer than green and rats. Only thirty-seven of our number are with us now, but Mrs. Bost is still with us as home room teacher, and our officers include: President--Larry Taylor, Vice-President-David Huffman, Sec- retary-Phil Howell, and Treasurer--Velma Willard. How exciting this year to be giving a mystery play called Spooky Tavern ! And it truly lives up to its name-Spooky. It is fun getting it up, and I know it will be a success. APRIL 1, 1947 Our play was a success and so was our Junior-Senior banquet given at the Yadkin Hotel in Salisbury. We carried out the Mexican theme, and it was like a gay nesta, every junior and senior having an experi- ence completely new and different. Our banquet and plays were under the supervision of Mrs. Bost, who managed them very capably. Several of us received the honor of an invitation to join the Beta Club. We were proud of this accomplishment, and we really enjoyed the club under the direction of Mr. Hollis, who saw that we had a very effective initiation. As this year closes with happy memories, we look forward eagerly to next year, our final one at dear old Rockwell High. SEPTEMBER 1, 1947 Ah! at last! we have arrived! 'tDignified seniors it is. Did I say dignified? Well let's say a little more streamlined, at least. Only thirty of us are left to graduate under the direction of our home room teacher, Mrs. Miller. Compiling the annual has been our chief task, and yet what a joy it was, too. Can we ever forget our Christmas party given us by the Juniors? You know the answer is never! This year has been one of many memories that will linger through- out the future in all our hearts. What fun it is to look forward to another play! The banquet given us this year by the Juniors was another wonderful event that we will never forget. The best to come yet is the night of graduation which will bring us to the end of all we have looked forward to for twelve years: Seniors- let's truly make it our Commencement of real and happy living. MARTHA BASINGER, Historian pfwphflfllf Dear Diary, As I lift my pen on this the 2nd day of June, 1948, I look ahead ten years and see my senior class as they will be then, serving in every field of science, education, religiong in fact, in every phasc of life. James Brown will be minister of St. Peter's Lutheran Church. Nancy Blackwelder will become bookkeeper for First National Bank. Fern Kluttz will write a famous book on How to Grow Tall. Dick Cooke will be a successful model posing for Tooth Paste ads with a Colgate smile. Martha Basinger will be secretary for S. H. Kress and Com- pany. Doris Bost will be a stenographer at Monroe, Michigan. Billie White will shine as secretary for a good looking doctor. Frank Ketchie and Wayne Morgan will become wealthy lum- ber workers. Glenn Weant will have invented a rat trap that will catch 99 out of 100. Larry Taylor will be playing Major League Baseball by 1958. Vern Cozart will be a member of the State Highway Patrol. Roselyn Fisher will prosper as a missionary in China. Susie Cheek will excell as a teacher of Home Economics. Margaret Lyerly will be making eyes at a young unmarried lawyer for whom she is secretary. A daily newspaper will feature a column on Advice to the Lovelorn written by Betty Yelton. David Huffman will become superintendent of Cannon Mills. Jimmy Beaver will invent a machine that is guaranteed to fool any man as well as win one. Jackie Bost will help out all old maids and bachelors by run- ning a Matrimonial Bureau. Julia Lyerly will be Superintendent of Nurses at Cabarrus Hospital. Betty Jean Eller and Dorothy Holshouser will be nurses in Sailsbury. Lloyd Cornelius will be, as you might guess, Professor of Mathematics at Carolina. Duane Eller will contribute his bit to the world by serving as a foreign missionary in South America. Betty Rose Sides will hold down a desk in the office of a big New York broker. Lorie Lookabill will sell tickets of happiness at the Carolina Theatre. Paul Hill will be one of the world's most famous musicians. Willie Holshouser and Betty Park will be co-owners of a beauty parlor for men onlyf' and Phil Howell, of course, will take care of everyone finally as a mortician or friendly undertaken These predictions may not come true, but it is fun dreaming of them. LORIE LOOKABILL, Prophet Dear Diary, It's so much fun to check statistics, especially when you have so many inter- esting items to consider. Our Senior class heads the list of all classes when it comes to distinctive indi- vidual tastes, and when you read the following, I am certain you will agree with me that Quality always tells. This is shown by our choice of magazines. Now we have nothing against Life or Time or even that Miller's favorite, The Digest, but we chose Esquire because it- has that certain something that no other magazine has. Get me? O Dynamite was chosen as the favorite lipstick since all the Senior boys prefer it. Since no girls like to be skyscrapers nor midgets, the average height was chosen 5' 5 . The boys found out they could be more popular, and seemed to get more dates if they were tall, so they chose their height 6', although Mrs. Miller prefers 6' lk , Razz's height. Our boys prefer the girls' weight 120 or She's Too Fat For Me variety. Our girls prefer the boys' weight 175 or 'He's just right for me, says QRoselyn Fisherj. The size of shoes ranged from Fern Kluttz's 4's to Paul Hill's 12's. Of course we all have nothing against Esther Williams and Betty Grable, but we prefer for our actresses Cass Daly and Lisbeth Scott. I suppose Van Johnson and Dick Haymes are rather popular, but we like the ones who have got everything and then some, and of course they would be Billy DeWolf and Cornel Wilde. Our cartoon favorite is Bugs Bunny. Blue and green eyes are O. K., or even Betty Park's gray eyes, but we prefer brown. Since we have no red-heads in the Senior class we weren't worried on that score, but having both blondes and brownettes, we were worried until we took one look at Dick Cooke's beautiful brunette hair, and naturally we chose brunette. Now we all know that gardenias and lilies of the valley are pretty, but we prefer red roses as our flower with blue and white as our colors. Our song variety ranges from Too Fat Polka and Feudin', Fussin', Fightin' to Night and Day and Till the End of Time. Our favorite pastimes are eating, sleeping, dating, and cutting classes. Although we Seniors have many stars in basketball, and baseball, our favorite sport is football. We have read many novels but not any of them have ever surpassed Forever Amber and The Yearlingf' After seeing many movies, it wasn't hard to pick out our favorite, Song of Scheherezadef' since it has that extra something. Since we girls have the boys beat in number, and all girls were in favor of Vaughn Monroe and Spike Jones for our favorite orchestra leaders, the boys of course agreed. For our favorite snack we'll take anything from hamburgers to Eller's candy. Although we have hobbies such as diaries, writing, reading, and similar other things, we prefer Hunting as our hobby, although we girls didn't say for what. For our cars we like anything from a T model to a Cadillac convertible, although Glenn Weant prefers a Ford. Naturally we all like the Hit-Parade and the Grand-ole-opry, but we all prefer Beulah as our favorite radio program. Our choice of commercials are those plugging Dental Snuff, Dentyne Gum and Nu Maid Margarine. No one likes to mention his age, but the majority of the Seniors are 18, although Billie White is fortunate enough to be sweet 16. Surely no one will disagree Chanel No. 5 has all other perfumes outclassed, or at least out smelled. The Normal head size should be 7, but Wayne Morgan and David Huffman have the big head and wear 773. Most of us want to go to Lenoir Rhyne, although a few chose Duke and Carolina. After such an impressive list of vital statistics, I am sure that you agree with me that the class of 1948 is truly one of promise. A MARGARET LYERLY, Statistician. afaaildillandj Being as certain fas seniors nearing graduation can bel that we are in our minds sound and sane we do hereby make this our last will and testament: ARTICLE '1. Having so many worthy talents to bequeath our successors and others who stumble on the upward path to knowledge, we do sincerely hope that we do not bestow these talents unworthily: Glenn Weant leaves number 60 to anyone who thinks he can make it Gee, Haw, Whoa and back. Lloyd Cornelius leaves her grades good and bad to Carolyn Beaver. David Huffman wills his Charming Personality to Dwight Hall, who, he says, can use it. Dick Cooke leaves his seat in geometry to anyone who is ignorant enough to take it. Fern Kluttz wills her size 4 shoe to Nell Miller if they are not too big. Doris Bost gladly wills her shorthand book to Ophelia Rattz. Betty Yelton wills her graceful figure to Mrs. Miller. Kat Wagner leaves her locker to anyone who can stand the agony of finding the books that fall through the hole in it. Cut Short wills his ability of stretching the truth and shooting bull to Bob Hampton who is capable of handling the job. Margaret Lyerly wills her long hair to Joan Holshouser. Willie Holshouser and Lorie Lookabill bequeath their bookkeeping books to Marie Boger and Lucille Weant. Paul Hill leaves his love for the girls to Norman File. Billie White wills her love for a good time to Patsy Russell. l James Brown leaves his neatness and friendly smile to Allan Odell. Roselyn Fisher wills her place at cheerleading to Betty Miller. Wayne Morgan reluctantly turns over his typewriter to anyone who can learn the combination of the contraption. Frank Ketchie wills his tales of the South Seas to anyone who will listen to them. afaafldillandj Nancy Blackwelder and Betty Eller leave their positions on the basketball team to Frances Beaver and Jean Fisher. Julia Lyerly leaves her wit to anyone who can make everyone laugh. Phil Howell, Larry Taylor, and Jimmy Beaver will their mastery of the French tongue to Harold Earnhardt, Kenneth Keply, and Jack Mooney. Betty Park wills her position as manager of the basketball team to anyone who will take it. Martha Basinger wills her True Love to Margie Ruth Trexler and Sarah Ann Hammill. Dorothy Holshouser wills her pesky ways to anyone who can be as pesky as she. Jackie Bost wills her love for Charlie Choo-Choo Justice to Red Jack Stanback. Betty Rose Sides sadly turns over her much studied English book to Mrs. Miller. Duane Eller reluctantly leaves his little, black, romantic, hubba-hubba mus- tache to Lane Brown Cwe don't believe he can grow one of his own.j ARTICLE 2. To the Junior Class we leave our coveted positions in assembly and our family of mice in Mrs. Miller's home room. ARTICLE 3. To the Sophomores we will our 3,000-word themes which the faculty didn't have time to read. ARTICLE 4. To the Freshmen we bequeath a little of our dignity and our quiet easy-going ways so that they may get along with the faculty, Mr. Brown, and each other a little better. ARTICLE 5. To faithful William we leave a messy school building to clean up after our graduation exercises. ARTICLE 6. The basketball girls leave Mr. Brown to his wife. ARTICLE 7. And finally to the faculty we leave all old text-books, chewing gum under desks, waste paper, and 31 less headaches for next year. fThe Juniors will give them 45 more., We do hereby revoke all former wills and publish this to be our last will and testament in witness whereof we hereunto put our hand and seal on this the second day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-eight.

Absent when picture was taken, Jean Puckett. Under the skillful direction of Coach Benny Troutman the boys' basketball team of Rockwell High hopes to do as well this year as last. We are proud to record that last year we reached the finals, and although we were defeated in the last game by Granite Quarry, we kept the old blue and white spirit, and even though losers, we came out champions. The team's offense is built around the following: Forwards, Kenneth Kepley and Bill Peelerg center, Larry Taylor, and guards, Jack Stanback and Phil Howell. The promising players which make up the second team alternate with the first string in the following positions: Guards, Jim Beaver, Jean Puckett, forwards, Ray Ketner, Dick Cooke, and center, Harold Earnhardt.

Standing: Betty Park, Manager, Coach Troutman. Again this season Coach Troutman is managing a champion girls' team. Last year we went to the finals, being edged out in the last game by China Grove. This year with the aid of Mr. Brown WE WON THE LANDIS LEGION TOURNAMENT, defeating China Grove 14-12 in the final game. The team's defense is built around Jackie Bost, Captain and All-County. The others are Nancy Blackwelder, Betty Eller, and Betty Rose Sides. The offense is handled very capably by dependable forwards, Nell Miller, Lloyd Cornelius, and Betty Lou Goodman. The promising players are Celia Peeler, Becky Coke, Helen Brown, Frances Beaver, Dorothy Holshouser, Mary Louise Peeler, and Frances Rhinehardt. z6'mmbalL The Sluggers Front row, left to right: Jack Mooney, Kenneth Honeycutt, Jimmy Gallimore, Dwight Hall, Bobby Hampton, Craig Holshouser, Kenneth Shuping.

Coach Troutman wasn't too busy to manage the sluggersf' The season was very successful since we had a .500 average, winning six of the twelve games played. The pitching was in the capable hands of Phil Howell, Dwight Hall, and Ken- neth Honeycutt, with Jack Mooney behind the plate as catcher. The inield consisted of Harold Big George Earnhardt, first base, Bob Yan- kee' Hampton, second base, Larry Slugger Taylor, shortstop, and Kenneth King Kong Kepley, third base.

Bill was an active member of the Gold Hill Methodist Church and was president of the Youth Fellowship at the time of his death. He was graduated last year from Rockwell High School, where he was a member of the Beta Club, and was planning to enter Pfeiffer Junior College last fall. He was highly sensitive to his Chris- tian obligations to his church, his family, and his friends. Though he was only eighteen years of age, his achieve- ment in the church and community was such that his life will continue to be an inspiration and challenge to his many friends, both young and old.
