St Stephens High School - Corona Yearbook (Hickory, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1950 volume:

THE 1950 CORONA PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF ST. STEPHENS PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL HICKORY, NORTH CAROLINA 1 2 DEDICATION Four years ago when St. Stephens welcomed a new group of Freshmen, it also welcomed a new teacher. Dur- ing the years a bond developed and grew between the teacher and this class. Now in our Senior year, to express our appreciation for her unselfish devotion, her genuine interest, and her loving service, we dedicate this 1950 edition of the CORONA to Mrs. Hazel B. Purkey. IN MEMORIAM When Miss Rosa Sox passed away at her home August 26, 1949, St. Stephens High School lost one of its truest friends. With the exception of one year she taught in Albemarle, Miss Sox devoted her entire teaching career to Catawba County schools. Before coming to St. Stephens, she taught at old Allen Frye, High- land, and Startown. Miss Sox’s understanding, patience, deep interest, and Christ- ian influence with young people brought about fine relationships with students and teachers. All who knew her will remember her with respect and affection. FACULTY 5 BOOK ONE HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Mr. W. A.

When these portals we shall leave, Mem’ries sweet will ever cleave. See our colors Gray and Red; By Red's courage we are led. Gray's for the clouds that will not stay, For they all will fly away. Our red rose we all do love, For to us it's from above. It will bloom for us through life, And will help us win each strife. To our motto, we’ll be true — End each task, then start anew. We have learned this in our school, And we’ll try to live this rule. Farewell, now, we say to all; Our best wishes on you fall. As we leave St. Stephen's High, In each heart there is a sigh. Betty Sue Turner 17 HISTORY We have reached a milestone in our career. The upward climb as high school students has been relatively long in some ways, but in other ways, it has seemed very short. When we leave this year, it will not be with the glee that we usually greeted summer vacations, but with a touch of melancholy and sentimentalism. Four years ago we entered St. Stephens as Freshmen. In our first year we were segregated--Mr. Clarke being the adviser to the boys and Miss Georgia Sherrill, to the girls. To quote Mr. Hoyle, it was a case of separating the thorns from the roses. Unruly and carefree the majority of us were unwill- ing to settle down to the regular routine of school life. At the beginning of our Sophomore year, we showed more susceptibility to the cultural and intellectual aspects of life. Due to the number in our class, we were still divided, but this year the boys and girls were together. Mrs. Hazel Purkey and Mrs. Anne Gray Anderson were our home room teachers. Also we were very happy to extend a welcome to the students who came down to St. Stephens from the local parochial school. It was with some apprehension that we greeted our Junior year, for we realized the responsibilities that lay before us. To sponsor the annual Junior- Senior Banquet was our main objective and to do this we had to raise money. As our first project, we sold magazines for which we received a certain per- centage of the profit. We are very proud of the fact that our sales topped all previous ones. Next we had a box supper,which was held in the school auditorium. In view of the approaching Yuletide Season the auditorium was decorated with an eye for Christmas. The high-point of our projects was the presentation of a three-act comedy entitled Little Miss Fortune. The play was admirably cast and presented. From this we netted quite a bit of profit, and we were very well satisfied with the results. Due to certain complications the banquet had to be staged at the White Pine. What we missed in the fun of decorating the audi- torium was made up by the pleasure we had at the banquet. The major event of the evening was a personalized gift presented to each Senior designating some individual characteristic. We are deeply grateful to Mrs. Christine Mauney, our Junior adviser, who through her counselling and patience, guided us successfully through our third year in high school. On August 29, 1949, we Juniors advanced into the Senior room. Mrs. Mauney came with us because of the death of Miss Rosa Sox, the beloved senior adviser. As Seniors we, of course, realized there was a lot of hard work ahead. The receiving of our class rings has been a special joy thus far in our Senior year. At this time all of us are working with our editors, Wanda Bolick and Edna Mae Herman, on the Corona of 1950. As we look back on our high school days, we find that they have been filled with much happiness, and we look forward to graduation with mixed emotions. Even though we are proud to be able to complete our school course, we will be sad to sever the old ties and friendships we have enjoyed for the past years. We shall always be grateful for the guidance that our principals, Mr. Hoyle and Mr. Murray, have so cheerfully given us. Our class motto, Ending but beginning, gives us a challenge to go on to greater things, but the portion of our lives spent at St. Stephens will ever be predominant in our memories. 18 superlative: BEST ALL ROUND Fred Huffman Rachel Granger MOST COURTEOUS Floyd Frye Betty Sue Turner MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED Fred Huffman Janet Stafford MOST POPULAR Harold Kent Jettie Rullman WITTIEST Jerry McGinnis Earlene Miller FRIENDLIEST Floyd Frye Rachel Granger BEST LOOKING Clyde Hollar Jettie Rullman BEST ATHLETES Bill Simons Betty Sue Shepherd 19 LAST WILL AMD TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of St. Stephens High School of Hickory, North Carolina, being indisputably of sound and disposing mind and about to pass out of existence at this high school, do hereby bequeath all our worldly goods and possessions to the following beneficiaries: I, Margaret Baker, confer on Arland Spencer my ability to get high grades.

Some members of this class are still in Hickory; others have sought larger realms to satisfy their longings. We are watching television, which has become so advanced that we can see the locale of each of our old classmates. As we look at the screen of the television set, this is what we behold: Since baseball has been a favorite on television ever since the very first, we are watch- ing a game - Cleveland Indians vs. New York Yankies. Of course, we're rooting for the Indians, for their pitcher is none other than HIGH FRY. A figure in white is walking down a corridor of a large hospital in Chicago. BETTY TURNER, R.N., has been there for about two years. Look who's coming out from one of the rooms. It's Joann drum with Starrs in her eyes. BILL BOWMAN is reading a book. Him--reading? Oh, we understand. The name of it is The Art of Wooing and he's the author. How very difficult to believe! At a table at the Stork Club sit BETH CAROLYN and McOOY bcherd , who are honeymooning in New York. Standing at their table is BECKY SPENCER , singing waitress. smr and McCOY pick up a copy of McCall’s magazine while waiting for their dinner. On the front of the magazine is a very pretty girl with dimples. She's cover girl, MARY HUFFMAN, who is living in New York. MARY, BECKY, and JANET STAFFORD still get together when their work permits, for JANET is also in New York working as a laboratory technician in a large hospital. Hum----that building looks familiar. Why, it's St. Stephens! But why is the scene changing to the first grade? Oh, the teacher is wanda bolick! Isn’t that a cute little boy. JEANETTE COOPER FRYE is talking to her husband, FLOYD, in the office of the Frye Up- holstering Company. She's telling him she must rush home, for she has left their twin sons with a baby-sitter, MARTHA HUFFMAN . MARTHA and LEONA HERMAN have a business of their own with Your Babies are Our Business as their slogan. Down a street of Hickory walks Chief-of-Police JOE HUFFMAN . He goes into a local drug store, where he converses with BRUCE ISENHOWER , owner. JOE is telling BRUCE that SARA STAFFORD and REVONDA MORETZ work in a jewelry store near by, and that D.C.HEFNER is a proprietor of a home for stray cats. Two customers of D.C.'s are riding up the street on a bicycle built for two. JERRY HEDRICK and BILLY DUNCAN are combining business with pleasure by advertising the bicycles they manufacture, while looking for pets. BETTY EZELL is getting up from her desk in the Record office to take an announcement from JOHNNY FLEMING, who is advertising his business as an Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist. There is also a large advertisement in the Record about the men's sports- wear store which LWYD SHOOK has recently purchased. A new Buick is pulling up in front of Ray's Pet Shop . JACK HOUCK , the Buick sales- man, has come to sell RAY BOLICK, a Buick. The next scene on the screen is Alexander County--in the home of POLLY MORETZ (for- merly sipe . Sitting opposite her at the dinner table is AUBREY, whom we remember as Polly’s high school boy friend. At a desk in the office of the Governor of North Carolina, MARION pearce, sits GLADYS LANIER, bookkeeper. Who would have thought this would happen? The screen grows brighter and soft music is heard. It's coming from Christ Lutheran Church, where we see RACHEL GRANGER directing the choir. Who's that in the back row? Why, it's CHARLIE YOUNG, her husband, singing tenor. He's also the star of a Broadway musical, The Flirt . nadine youni is standing beside the tractor on which her husband, CARL SEITZ, is sit- ting. In a distance we see what must be a model farm. Now, doesn’t that suit carl and NADINE? Gee, look where EDNA MAE HERMAN is working--in the Library of Congress!! MARGARET RAKER has dropped by to see her. She tells EDNA that she is hurrying to a Beta Club meet- ing in the school where she teaches. After all, the sponsor can't be late. Our eyes view next a beautiful model dressed in a stunning gown of her own creation. Yes, it's jettie rullman -in Hollywood. Aren't the stage backgrounds beautiful? JETTIE is announcing that BETT) FWWERS and JOHNNY bowman painted them. We see DONALD HEDRICK lunching at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studio with his producer, BILL SIMONS. DONALD is a stand-in for Jimmy Stewart. In lights at the State Theater in Charlotte we read McGinnis and Marx” JERRY and Groucho are co-starring in that great comedy hit, Ain't We Crazy”. A colorful spectacle is seen as we gaze upon a girl putting on a skating act. She is COLLEEN MOORE in the skating rink owned by HAROI.D KENT. Oh, what fun they must have! Ringing the doorbell at the beautiful home of £V£LBV£ and CARL BAKER is a Fuller Brush agent, GUY MILLER, who smilingly says he is a farmer in the summer time. The picture changes as we see JIMMY HONEYCUTT, featherweight boxing champion, squirm- ing in a dentist's chair. Holding his hand is EARLENE MILLER', the painless dentist's assistant. Our appetites are increased as we see billy jarett, professional pie-taster on his job. How we enjoy seeing him chuckle again! A copy of the Chicago Times” comes into view, and we find the editor is FRED HUFFMAN He has hired CLYDE hollar, JR. as comic-strip editor. imogene and WRENE RITCHIE are touring the United States and Europe with a company of Toni Twins. Both have such charming hair-dos that it’s impossible to tell which twin has the Toni. The city auditorium is packed with people. We wonder what's doing here tonight. BETTY SHEPHERD has returned to Hickory for a concert after a successful career as a Metropolitan soprano. The lights fade on the screen and bring to an end our visual journey with the class of 1950 of St. Stephens High. Suddenly we realize we're sleepy, but we're so happy to have seen again our dear classmates.
