Their patience and fine ability to guide has been unsurpassed. We are indebted to MRS. CLAYTON for the personal interest she has taken in us as individuals — MRS. CROWELL, who leaves a high regard and lasting impression to all her students — MISS HESTER, for her patience in guiding us cor- rectly in much of our organizational work — MRS. NICHOLS, who is unsurpassed in her ability to prepare her students for college, and who also sheds a radiant and humorous outlook on life upon everyone. To all of these teachers we offer our deepest appreciation for their unerring efforts in preparing us for what they know we will need in later life. In memory of Frank Floyd, our classmate... Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care; The opening bud to Heaven conveyed, And bade it blossom there. COLERIDGE Jimmy Warren Garland Pass CO-EDITORS “Burning the midnight oil” is no longer an obsolete phrase—as far as we are concerned. In the midst of some of our meetings (?), some of us wondered if we didn’t need a long, quiet rest in a mental institution. It was a lot of work for both of us and the annual staff, but when the last picture was put in place, the last period typed, and those glorious words, “The End,” written, we realized how much fun it had been, and we were glad that we had been able to do our part in producing the 1952 Rocket. Here is a picture record of your 1951-52 school year . . . the familiar spots on the school ground .. . your cherished friends . . . your favorite hang- outs .. . school dances . . . class highlights . . . the classrooms where you labored. We hope this 1952 Annual will serve you (until you reach the ripe old age of “lebenty-leben”) as a reminder of your happy experiences of this school year. COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Catherine Traynham.

HESTER Principal Mr. Hester, our principal, is the center around which our whole school revolves. Under his watchful eye and sober judgement, our school has progressed greatly in the past few years. Although Mr. Hester is sometimes teased about his being so conservative, under his direction our school has moved forward in definite steps. To the student body and faculty, Mr. Hester is director, advisor, helper, and best of all: friend. MR. ABERNATHY, whose mathematical gen- ius has made algebra and geometry two of the most interesting courses in our school, has a wit and a sense of humor that almost mat- ches his intelligence. MR. BISHOP, who is one of Roxboro High’s finest English teachers, has increased our appreciation and respect for our language. MRS. BULLOCK, one our commer- cial teachers, makes her courses truly inter- esting as well as informative. MRS. CLAYTON, whose kindly guidance has led us down the path of know- ledge and whose fine teaching has given us an inspiration to a high degree of learning, is one of the most respected and best loved of our teachers. MRS. CROWELL, the math teacher, has the distinguishing quality of being con- sidered one of the best and kindest teachers of our school. MR. CUSHWA, who is a newcomer to Roxboro High’s faculty, has already won the respect of his students for his intellect and pleasing personality. MISS HESTER makes history live again through her brilliant recounts of past and present events. MISS HOLT, another of our commercial teachers, noted for her efficiency, instills within her students qualities of businesslike working methods. MR. HOUSE, who is noted for his “wit” in the elassroom and on the playground, is also considered one of the finest of all teachers. MR. LEDFORD, another new member of our faculty, really made his English and Spanish classes meaningful. His personality and open mind can put his points across. MRS. NICHOLS, one of the best known and respect- ed teachers of the state, is particularly ap- preciated for her helpfulness, ingenuity and cheerful outlook on life. Her teaching methods are dramatic and forceful. MARY KATHER.- INE O’BRIANT, our school secretary, is al- ways willing to help in any way she can. Her spirit of helpfulness and her sunny disposition mean much to our school. aoe List We F MRS. ROGERS, who always has a pleasant smile for everyone, has become endeared for her spirit of co-operation and cheerfulness. MR. ROGERS, our head coach, trains his athletes for clean and sportsmanship-like lives as well as games. His fame as a caach and man ex- tends far, and his athletic records and friends mark him as a successful man. MISS ROSS of our science department teaches her classes in such a way that they are exciting, enter- taining, and highly didactic. Her precise man- ner indicates her efficiency. MR. SCHEAR, our new band director, has made noticeable accomlishments with our band, and his versatility is an asset to our school. MR. SHUFORD, head of our Industrial Arts Department. has taught his students well in crafts which will be helpful to them in later life. MRS. STREET, our libra- rian, keeps the students of our school well informed through her carefully arranged source material, and she always has a minute for everyone. And tho’ these pages will have to yellow turned, We will not forget: how you taught, how we learned. 99 ight , T'was a rough n -hum “Ho “Hey, boy—where you s’pose to be?” ppens “Now who-can tell me what ha In re- mean cha I during a honeym—, 29 2 action EIEN CTE a RCT ONAN HES £ uabicsoi ahve aablnis aioe es ERD SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS John Coe Dawes Johnny Foote Catherine Trayham and Joyce Carver Varo mR esidenis wb. eee a Hunter Tillman Treasurer — PTET PTL ty Rete eee @asseoretaries: 22 Saran peta: Boppy ALKINS Crow Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; “A” Chorus 3, 4.

SHEAR This year, the high school BAND, under the inspired leadership of Mr. Shear, has reached a new height of achievement. The band has improved greatly in the past few years and, in our opinion, is one of the best school bands in the state. This spring, the band is again planning to enter the state band contest in Raleigh. Last year they won a good rating, and this year we expect them to be superior. In addition to playing for the football games, the band has given several concerts. The band is an important part of our school cur- riculum and deserves a great deal of credit for their fine music. The band officers from left to right are: Dewey Young, Secretary; Holms Adair, “Veep;” From left to right are the Junior Majorettes: Patsy Jones, Joan Brooks, Barbara Monk, Judy Jones, and Linda Long. and Garland Pass, President. SENIOR MAJORETTES At left are the Senior Majorettes: Alta Rimmer, Frances Davis, Jean Wilkins, Barbara Clayton, Patricia Dunkley, Barbara Ann Clayton, and Lora Ladd. MRS. BERGER The R. H. S. GLEE CLUB, under the direction of Mrs. George Berger, had a full schedule this year. Two concerts were presented early in the fall, and a Christmas concert was given in which the Advanced Chorus presented Fred Waring’s “Song of Christmas.” The Glee Club participated in the District Music Contest at Meredith College in Raleigh, the District Music Festival in Greensboro, and later presented a spring concert. This year’s Glee Club, the largest in the history of R. H. S., made one of the best musical showings in several years. THE “A” CHORUS This year’s “A” CHORUS repre- | sented R. H. S. in the Mixed | Voices division of the District Music Contest held at Meredith College in Raleigh, presented Fred | Waring’s “Song ,of Christmas,” ! and gave the main portion of all | Glee Club concerts. This group is composed of those members of the Glee Club whose knowledge of 1 music is more advanced, and I whose veices are better trained. Mrs. Berger directing one of the GLEE CLUB clsasses-——-—- THE BOYS’ QUARTET | The BOYS’ QUARTET was com- posed of Jimmy Warren, First Tenor; Herbert Masten, Second Tenor: Clifton Leonard, Baritone; and Hunter Tillman, Bass. This group represented our school in the State Music Contest in Ra- leigh, and performed for the pub- lic several times. Digi eo cae This year’s DRAMATICS class started their work by presenting two pantomines, The Lamp Went Out and The Curtain Fell. Later in the year they gave a one-act comedy entitled t’s Cold in Them Thar Hilis! This hilarious portrayal of life in the hills was greatly enjoyed by the student body. The “WINK” HOUSE class will establish a school precedent by presenting as the senior play a Sherlock Holmes mystery, The Sign of The Four. Mr. House, the instructor, through his wit and through knowledge of drama at its best, has aided his class in giving R. H. S. some of its finest entertainment of the year.

DEBATING TEAM of ’52 is composed of Jimmy Warren, Hunter Tillman, Bill Mewborne, and Malcolm Montgomery. “That All American Citizen Should Be Sub- ject to Subscription for Essential Service in Time of War,” is the query for the debaters this year. In the last three years, Roxboro has won the Aycock Debating Trophy twice. It is the goal of this year’s debating team to again win this award and thus gain permanent possession. Seated: Barbara Stuart, Jacke Strum, Garnett Carr, Phyllis Singleton, Agnus Stem, Mrs. Nichols Standing: Bruce Crumpton, Bill Mewborne, Robin Weaver, Moffet Spencer, Malcolm Montgomery, Joe Currin, Hunter Tillman, Jimmy Warren. This year, for the third consecutive year, the PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS has brought back top honors from the Greenville Speaking Contest. The class has also gained state- wide recognition by participating in the World Peace, Ameri- can Legion, and Soil Conservation Contests. Mrs. Nichols, the instructor, has aided her students much in overcoming bad speech habits. All the speakers in the class agree it is one of the most useful classes in their curriculum. The Public Speaking Class has done much to bring recognition and prestige to Roxboro High School. MRS. CLAYTON Junior and Senior English scholars who have obtained high scholastic ratings have the privilege of being members of the ENGLISH HONOR SOCIETY. The members of this society, under the guidance of Mrs. Clayton, correct themes for the hers, not ouly for the purpose of relieving them but for the ‘ncrease of the members’ English ability as well. Members are: Evelyn Loyd, Catherine Traynham, Marie Holeman, Mal- colm Montgomery, Myrtle Brandon, Jimmy Warren, Phillip Thomas, Annie Marie Carter, Margaret Matlock, Johnny Foote, Margaret Whitfield, and Nancy Wilkerson. This year’s DIVERSIFIED OCCUPATION class under the direction of Mr. Shuford is a fine representation of the students in R. H. 5. who manage to engage in outside work while maintaining studies which will earn a high school diploma for them. These students are tested on their trades in order that they might receive units for this course. The D. O. Class adds much to the maintenance of a well balanced curriculum at R. H. S. Beginning with the project of providing entertainment for the students during lunch periods, Roxboro High School’s STUDENT COUNCIL got off to a good start on a well-planned agenda of school problems. Dancing in the gym and movies in the auditorium helped made its first project a success. So that this organization would be a government of and for the student body, a suggestion box was placed in the hall. This year, a delegation from the council attended the N. C. S. C. C. at Greens- boro where many helpful facts in council proceedings were obtained. Through many other projects as well as the ones mentioned above, the Student Council witnessed a very successful year. i AA Sy a : Reha Tea Ne Ns ia x farold Buchanan; “Veep,” Jimmy Warren; Presi- Treasurer, Bill Mewborne.

During this past school year, the KEY CLUB, under the very capable direction of President Jimmy Warren and Vice President Garland Pass, has witnessed a most successful year. Since the opening of school, last September, the club has been en- gaged in numerous projects, such as assisting the Kiwanians with their “Pancake Day,” staging the program for the Kiwanian Ladies Night dinner, giving a school assembly program, and conducting devotionals over the school inter-communication system. These and many more projects have brought over one hundred-twenty-five dollars into the club treasury, and with this money financial aid was rendered to the 1952 annual. Roxboro High is very proud of these twenty-five “Key” boys of the school and wishes them all possible success in the coming year. MR. BISHOP MR.
