The preservation of these memories is the purpose of this history. What happened to our time, that intangible quantity of nothing? Re¬ member when in 1944 (that day of our dreams), we were finally in high schooll With pounding hearts and noisy mouths 36 little-green-know-it- all-freshmen gathered in Mrs. Gamble’s room. Now, we were actually in the midst of high school students and teachers. Something like a whirl¬ wind, catching us in its clutches and pushing us along with the rest of the students, started. None of us quite knew where we were going or what we were doing, and we uttered oaths and outbursts of protest which resulted in alarming conduct grades. However, Mrs. Gamble, our appoint¬ ed admiral, soon started us on our right course. To command our ship of destiny, we elected the following class officers: President, Jimmy Lee; Vice-President, Bob Brown; Secretary, Rachel Smothers. In all our clas¬ ses we struggled, but oh, how we struggled in physical ed, learning to square dancel Then finally one bright day we gave the first square dance performance in the gym. The freshmen of 44 also had their own basketball team, plus having some of our own on the school teams. We were definitely athletically inclined. To exhibit our gray matter, and to apply our civics, we held a presidential election. After the usual registering, campaigning, and vote counting, Roosevelt won. Work, but fun, those three little words very well sum up freshman year. Our second year in high school found Mrs. Summers behind the stern of the vessel. The order All Handsl was all that was necessary to sum¬ mon the entire crew to meet any job. We won two contests, the P. T. A. Membership and P.T.A. Attendance. The rewards for these were two half holidays. Remember the picnic at Guilford Battleground—fried chicken, proposals, and wading in the lake. What a day! This year the Sophomore Home Ec. Girls gave the Seniors a luncheon. Not quite sure of our ef¬ forts as cooks, we had the bicarbonate handy, but luckily we didn ' t even need it. We had our first oratorical contest this year, and two members of our class (Bob Brown and Rachel Smothers) entered. Ellen Metz, a Sen¬ ior won, but she was trailed by one of our Sophomores, Rachel S.. Time gravely floated on, and we with it. mvrMxmrfw -, The ship sailed on, .sometimes swiftly, and then hesitantly, yet ne¬ ver getting off its course--thanks to Mrs. Winchester, its able comman¬ der. A highlight of the year was the invitation to ten Juniors to Join the Beta Club, and then initiation, followed by a weiner roast—both of which will never be forgotten. Following our predecessors, we sold mag¬ azines to help finance the Junior-Senior Banquet, and we set an all-time record of $12641 Oh, yes, remember the Christmas party at Guilford Club House? There was mistletoe, and we exchanged gifts. Then the next day Santa Claus managed through his express office to bring us the best gift of all--our class rings. The highlight of our Junior year was the Jun¬ ior-Senior Banquet held at the Bliss Restaurant. March 31st finally ar¬ rived, and with it evening dresses, corsages, and bow-ties. No longer were we high school kids—that night we were young men and women. Later in the spring our grade parents entertained the Juniors and Seniors with a formal party in the high school gym. Every good thing must come to an end, and we were having too much fun for it to last. Commencement time came and we were to have a share in Class Night for the first time. Six members of our class were chosen to be marshals. Junior year ended as we came nearer and nearer our destination--graduation. As we set sail again this year as Seniors, the bold voyage begun so long ago seemed worth-while. It seemed unusual for 31 Seniors to be a- gain in Mrs. Gamble ' s home-room, where three years ago we had been 36 eager-beaver freshmen. Our class officers this year were Bob Brown,Pres¬ ident; Rachel Smothers, Vice-Rresident; Helen Linville, Secretary; and Eleanor Hoskins, Treasurer. For the first time in the history of the school, we, as Seniors ,have the honor of publishing the first yearbook. The Sophomores gave us a tasty luncheon December 16, carrying out the Christmas theme. The Juniors weren ' t superstitious about Friday 13th, and planned the Junior-Senior Banquet for that date. However, the wea¬ therman changed it to February 17th. No one minded because it turned out to be a perfect night for the lovely Valentine Banquet at the Bliss Banquet Room. We exchanged hearts in more ways than one, and no one ' s was broken. Now Is The Hour brought tears to our eyes, as this our last and lovliest banquet, came to an end. Many members of our class have shared individual honors this year. The annual Popularity Contest was won by Rachel Smothers. Helen Linville was chosen the D. A. R. Good Citizen to represent our school, while Bob Brown captured the Civitan A- ward. When the class parts May 28th, ' 48, each of us will carry with us these memories of the fun,work, and disillusions which made us the class we are. In the future may we remember our four happy years together, and may each be glad to say of the other, He was a member of the Class of •48. Class of 48 Amelia Shaw, and Lloyd Mounce.

CLASS President-Dolly Johnson Vice-President-Richard Gamble 0 F F I C E R S Secretary-Mary Anne Wells Treasurer-Billie Lowrey Tradition plays a large part in the lives of Americans. Summerfield has a seemingly unbreakable tradition, an annual Banquet honoring the Seniors. The Juniors of ’48 faithfully and joyfully carried on. Invita¬ tions were sent for Friday 13thl Were they superstitious? Of course, no one was,but we should have known better than to tempt Fate,because Fate, in the form of the weatherman, stepped in and changed the date of the Junior-Senior Banquet to February 17th. The Bliss Banquet Hall was secured and dressed in Valentine array. This room became as real and as alive as the gaiety of the grinning boys and flustered girls. Tonight, Jeanie wasn ' t the stuffy little girl, who did your French and Geometry, but she was a cute li ' l number with spar- kle--leap year, you knowl Dolly Johnson, serving as Toastmistress, welcomed the guests. Then toasts flew back and forth, and little incidents evoked much laughter. Program booklets.being autographed by the famous people there, travelled around the tables, and on each go-round they were harder to decipher. From every side you heard someone say, I can ' t eat another bite , and then they would dig in the chicken again, heaped on their plates. After eating, and listening to numerous toasts, speeches, and musi¬ cal numbers, Mrs. Winchester taught us not to talk about ourselves so much, because when we said I , we forfeited a candy heart. Next we played a delightful game of dice hearts. Last, was an unrehearsed wed¬ ding. Rosebud Delicatessen (Mrs. Love) and Archibald Hercules Headlight (Richard Gamble) were married by a forbidding minister (Mr. Winchester). A number of Juniors and Seniors completed the wedding party. The Juniors bade the Seniors good-night, singing Now Is The Hour . Officially this night was over, but years later an incident will recall to the Seniors some part of their Banquet and they will make a mental note for remembrance. Thus reminiscing will keep them young. First row, left to right: Mrs. Summers--Sponsor, Roger Howerton, Polly Conway, Joan Cline, Tom Brown, Virginia Everett, Mary Lee Roach.

VE 7IC BP ' ASSOCIATION Our success in the athletic field this year has been due to the ef¬ forts of the Athletic Committee of the Summerfield Men ' s Club. This committee, composed of C. M. Ayers, Jim Summers, L. A. Walker, and guid¬ ed by Dr. William E. Shields, has contributed in every way. Dr. Shields will long be remembered for his services as the teams’ physician. This committee has so directed athletics that the fundamental aims and purposes back of all its programs have been and will continue to be realized--namely, that all participants may be trained in initiative, self-control, cooperation, and fine sportsmanship,and that a fine whole¬ some school spirit may prevail. This summer the committee chose Mr. P. V. Parks to be in charge of aj.1 sports in the high school. We can certainly say that even in his first year as coach, the teams have shown great improvement. We hope that we have shown enough improvement for the Men ' s Club to continue to sponsor this program. All the boys and girls have derived many benefits from participating in athletics, and they all wish to join us, the Seniors, in expressing their deep appreciation to M. V. Winfree, J. W. Stafford, C. Marian Ayers,Jim Summers, C. S. Scarlette, R. C. Gor¬ don, Ivan Angel, G. E. Love, C. H. Pryar, Guy T. Ayers, Cecil Carter, D. Carter, Waldo Doggett, R. L. Gamble, and William E. Shields, who have made this possible through their cooperation.

The Summerfleld Football Squad opened the 1947 season under the direction of our new coach, Paul V. Parks. Though most of us were new, there was a large number of boys who were willing to ’sweat out the practices and participate in the game. With much patience, our coach drilled us day after day in an effort to get us accustomed to the rules of the game. With eagerness to learn, the majority of the boys were present each day for practice. Each day we learned something new. As time went on, we learned many new plays, practicing them until we had them timed perfectly. Finally, we were ready to play the first game of our nine scheduled games. Our first opponents were the Gibsonville ele¬ ven, whom we held to a scoreless tie. Twice we defeated Walnut Cove with them scoring only seven points in the two games. Though we did win two games and tied one, we were defeated on several occasions. Guilford turned us back for a 40-0 victory, and Jamestown celebrated its Homecom¬ ing Day by overpowering the Summerfield eleven. We challenged Bessemer to a head-on clash at Memorial Stadium. Though we fought hard,we proved to be no match for them and the score was 34-0 in their favor. On this occasion, Doggett, one of our linesmen, sustained a leg injury and was unable to play the remainder of the season. Although our season was not a complete success, we learned something that will be helpful to us throughout our lives.  m MMWWWK GIRL ' S BASKETBALL TEAM First row, reading from left to right: Nellie Randleman,Joanne Cox, Eleanor Hoskens, Mable Vernon, Mae Wall, Mildred Strader, Mary Lee Roach.

This year competition was keen for positions on the var¬ sity team. The team was under the supervision of Mr. Paul V. Parks. Un¬ der his careful instructions we learned many new basketball techniques. We opened the season with a 28-18 defeat from Kernersville Novem¬ ber 24th. We fought hard, but we were no match for our opponents. Our second game was with our old time-rival, Stokesdale. First one team led, then the other, but when the final whistle blew the disappointing score was 14-12 in favor of Stokesdale. December 11th we won our first game of the season from the Colfax six. We kept a safe margin all the way and easily captured a 25-3 win. The following night we played Sumner and beat them 35-10. Summerfield had an Invitational Tournament beginning December 15th. We played our first game in the tournament with Bessemer. It was an ex¬ citing nip and tuck game, however when the game was over the score was 21-20 in favor of Bessemer. This meant we could no longer play in the tournament. During the season we played various other schools throughout the county. Even though we suffered numerous defeats, each person who par¬ ticipated in this activity achieved a greater knowledge of playing bas¬ ketball and our team as a whole continuously improved all season. Thus we feel that progress was made. 1 The 1947 basketball season opened In November with twenty-five boys, eager and willing to try out for the team. Under the supervision of our new coach, Paul V. Parks, we practiced and it was soon determined which boys would be eligible to play on the varsity team. During the season our varsity team played various schools in Guilford County. We played Guilford in the finals of the Summerfield Invitational Tournament. This tournament was sponsored by the Athletic Association. In this tournament T. C. West, a member of our team, was placed on the all-tournament team. Our boys also entered the Guilford County Tournament. We also have a Junior Varsity Team. The Junior Varsity Team entered a contest which included an eight game schedule.

So we can truthfully say that spring has arrived here-for during the last few weeks baseballs have been tossed around continously. Our baseball will be quite dif¬ ferent this year with our new coach, Mr. P. V. Parks, the new suits, and our well balanced talent. Everyone has expected a great team this year, and that it will bei All the lettermen are back, except three, and we have numerous freshmen with varsity ability. With a capable staff of pitchers, a host of competent catchers, a seasoned infield, and with outfielders galore, how can we miss the top? We have entered a state schedule, as well as the usual county race this year. The team is com¬ posed of: catchers. Bob Westmorland, Bob Jones,and Tom Williard; pitch¬ ers, T. C.

' This organization was made possible by the.Woman ' s College of the Uni¬ versity of North Carolina. Practice teachers, under the supervision of Miss Margaret Green, are sent to instruct us in various sports twice a week. With the beginning of each new season we participate in a dif¬ ferent sport, and we have a different instructor. The three main sports in which we take part are speedball, basketball, and softball. Several times throughout the year, we compete with other schools in these vari¬ ous activities. This association enables many girls who are not on the Senior Varsity Teams to participate in sports. We are sincerely grate¬ ful to Woman ' s College for developing this physical education program and to Mrs. H. P. Winchester for directing it in our school. vi warn Seated, left to right: Margie Williams Price, Rachel Smothers, Annie Kate Burton.

To encourage effort, promote character, stimulate achievement, and to encourage and assist students to continue their education after high school are its objectives. In order to be a Beta, a student must have good mentality and char¬ acter, creditable achievement, and a commendable attitude. If this step is reached, he is voted upon by the other Betas and the faculty. After passing this examination, he undergoes a hilarious student body. Then, after taking the oath, he is Club member. The efficient and able leaders of our club for this year are Bob Brown, President;Eleanor Hoskins.Vice-President; Amelia Shaw, Secretary; and Rachel Smothers, Treasurer. Mrs. R. L. Gamble, our sponsor, is ably directing our paths along the right way, and only through her guidance could we have made our club what it is. The Summerfield Beta Chapter has as its’ project,the publication of the school pacer, The Bugl er, with each member of the Bets Club on the staff. This paper has received high recognition from Club Journal and the State Magazine. The celebration of the tenth anniversary, November 22nd, of Summerfield Beta Chapter wa3 the highlight of this year.. Many of former Betas and sponsors were oresent at this gala affair ' eld In school gym. We are planning to attend the Annual State Convention at Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel in Raleigh, March 25th and 27th. Our club be honored by giving a report on our Tenth Anniversary, also, one of ' our members, Rachel Smothers, will give soonsors at the banquet. the National Beta the the the the will r Celebration, and the toast to the -wmwwsi Retiring Club Officers of 1947-48, reading from left to right are: President, Amelia Shaw; Song Leader, Dolly Johnson; Vice-President,Jame 3 Meetze; Secretary, Ruth Everette; Song Leader, Ruth Anne Mabe. TO MAKE THE BEST BETTER Summerfield ' ' ■ ' bool has been active in 4-H work since 1939, The ob¬ jectives of the club are to give to rural boys and girls, between the ages of ten and twenty-one, better training in Agriculture, Komemaking, Community Organization, and the finer and more significant things of life. It has progressed through the years, and now is one of the leading clubs of Guilford County. Early in the year, the 1943-49 Senior Club officers were elected as follows: President, James Meetze; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Ruth Anne Mabe; Secretary, Mary Anne Wells; Historian, Doris Lee; and Song Leader, Dolly Johnson. The Junior Club Officers are: President, D. R. Meetze;Vice-President, Louise Case; Secretary, Shirley KeHum;and Song Leader, Doris Case. Our club has won county and state recognition. One of our members, Amelia Shaw, won the Guilford County Medal and State award for her pro¬ ject, Home-grounds Beautification . Sarah Burkhart won first place in the County Poultry Exhibit. We certainly feel that the 4-H Club is an asset to our school, and their pledge one that all of us might follow. My head to clearer thinking. My heart to greater loyalty. My hands to larger service, and My health to better living for My Club, My Community, and My Country. The F. F. A. was first established in the United States in 1917. Within a few years the organisation had spread over several states and today every state in the United States has an F. F. A. organization. Members of the F. F. A. learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themsel¬ ves, and to assume civic responsibility. The foundation upon which the F. F. A. organization is built includes leadership and character devel¬ opment , sportsmanship , co-operative service, thrift, scholarship,improved agriculture, organized recreation, and citizenship and patriotism. The Summerfield boys under the able guidance of Mr. Bowden have competed in several contests, such as livestock judging, seed judging, and public speaking. They have won first place honors in livestock and in public speaking. Their hope is that farm homes may become more attractive places in which to live by living up to the F. F. A. roottot Learning to do. Doing to learn. Earning to live, Living to serve. m m i -j nM ' J.-t VX rMJM.rn.fKwm i BRnBnR ap The Glee Club, almost forgotten the first four months of the school year, started the New Year with a burst of song and enthusiasm. There were among the thirty-four prospective serenaders several of our faith¬ ful members of the past year who now claim senority and many new and promising voices of underclassmen down through the eighth grade. The first day brought moans and groans when Mrs. Noah,- still Miss Barker to us, announced her desire to have each girl sing alone. Despite the tortuous knocking of knees and trembling of voices that dreadful or¬ deal was soon ended and everyone, having discovered his talent for stage fright, relaxed with a sigh. January, blanketed over with snow and sleet meant no school and no practice for two weeks. By the end of February, however, strains of three part harmony began to float lazily into every corner of the audi¬ torium echoing and re-echoing as it drifted down the halls. Soon everyone began to feel the thrill of such a number as The Years at the Spring in which six brave sopranos tackel a high A and hold it while the second sopranos and altos swell into a magnificent fi¬ nal chord. This number deserved great effort because it was the time the judges would hear when we appeared in the dignity of our black and white robes at the County Contest. This was to be a great contest, the first of it ' s kind in the coun¬ ty. Everyone was excited when a blue streamed chartered bus arrived to transport ' the Glee Club to Allen Jay School near High Point. Thebe they were to compete with twelve other schools in Guilford County. The se¬ lected group, representing Summerfield was determined to represent the school well. The contest was, of course, the highlight of the year,but how could a class graduate from Summerfield without the Glee Club paying its tra¬ ditional tribute in song. Realizing this, the girls all settled down to the hard job of learning Ave Maria in Latin for graduation. It is only through the diligent efforts of the Parent Teachers ' Association that we are able to have the Glee Club and Public School Music in our school, and at this time we wish to extend our sincere thanks to many of the parents and to Mrs. Noah.

The piano class of Summerfield School is made up of those students who pay a fee for private lessons from a full-time teacher, Mrs. C. M. Futrell, and the very attractive little room opoosite the principal s office has been reserved as a music room for this purpose. In the class are students ranging from beginners in the earliest stages of A B C ' s to many who have reached such proficiency as to contribute much to the musical life of the school. In the spring,each student performs oublicly in the annual student ' s recital and the more advanced students apoear in public performance from time to time throughout the year, thus affording much pleasure to themselves, their school and their community. ' Medals are given each year to pupils who are outstanding in the fields of scholarship, music, athletics, service, speaking, and writing. The Valedictory and Salutatory Medals are presented to the Seniors with the highest and second highest scholastic averages. These averages having been determined by their four years’ record. Three scholarship awards will be received by the members of the Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior Class, who have made the highest scholastic average in grades during the current year. The recipient of the Music Medal is chosen by Mrs. Futrell. She bases her choice on the student ' s interest and improvement during the school term. Two Athletic Medals are given to the Senior boy and girl, who have proven themselves superior leaders in athletics during their four years. The Senior who has rendered the most service to the school is awarded the Service Medal. The winner of the Oratory Contest automatically becomes the posses¬ sor of the Oratory Medal,while the victor of the Essay Competition gains possession of the Essay Award. n fwiw Al.Jlia. l.l i.-l 77p i Jy.
