FOUR-H CLUB The 4-H Club had its origin in the State of North Carolina more than a quarter of a century ago. It grew from a small corn club, ox ganization by a group of rural boys, into the largest youth organiz¬ ation in the world. In the State of North Carolina, alone,there are 1800 individual clubs and more than 93,000 club members. Since its origin, the 4-H Club has taught rural boys and girls the latest and best practices in agriculture and home economics. As a result, the members have spread the methods of modern agriculture and homemaking to practically every farm in the United States The national 4-H emblem itself, a four leaf clover with the let¬ ter H in each leaf, may well explain the principles of the 4-H Club. The four-leaf clover signifies good luck” and achievement . The H’s stand for head, heart, hands, and health-heads for clearer think¬ ing, hearts for greater loyalty, hands for larger service,and health for better living. 4-H Club work develops rural leadership and community pride and spirit. It builds young men and women who know how to conduct meet¬ ings, organize community projects, and who know how to judge crops, livestock and products of the farm and home. The local 4-H Club meets once a month. At each club meeting a definite demonstration is given relative to agriculture and home ec¬ onomics. Club members carry out farm and home projects which are an outgrowth of these demonstrations. Fifty-five pupils in Swain County High School are members of the 4-K Club.

The S vain County Chapter of the Future Farmers of America was organized in February 1946. The F.F.A. is a national organi¬ zation of farm boys that extend over all of the United States and her possessions. Hie National F.F.A. was organized in 1928 and was patterened after the Virginia State Farmer Organization. Its purpose is to train farm youth in modern farming methods and to develop leadership in farm communities. The F.F.A. motto is: Learning to do Doing to learn Earning to live Living to serve Each Future Farmer oarries a home project as a means of applying the information that he has learned in school. Ibis year there will be 51 corn projects oarried on by the F.F.A. Boys. The corn being used is TJ. S. 282 Yellow and Tenn. 10 white. F. H. A.

We were looked down on by all the upperclassmen and so began to think of ourselves as insignificant little frosh to be tram¬ pled under any one ' s foot. No one knows the trials we had to undergo to get used to high school, but with the guidance of Nr. Summer and our home room teachers, Mrs.- Bennett, Miss ' Walker, and Miss Long, we finally started on the right road. that filled our hearts on a certain morning We were sophomores at last] Now we looked down on the freshmen because we had already passed through-that stage and were upperclassmen. We had a new principal that yea? Mr. Taylor, who came from Charlotte. The outstanding event of that year was the closely contested race for student government officers. Since th e were no juniors,we,the lowly sophomores, advanced candidates for the vice-president of the student body. It was an unheard of thing, and when the uproar subsided,a new consitiution had to be written. (We felt proud because we were responsible for it.) To our class fell another responsibility- the Sophomore-Senior banquet (also a new idea), and under the leadership of Miss Muse and Mrs. Lance, we took the seniors through bloody seas once sailed by pirates. Our junior year was one of care free ease and joy. There were only four seniors (who had to stay in our home room), so we were granted senior privileges.’ We really did enjoy get¬ ting to lunch early. Since we were juniors, we decided to give ourselves a dinner-to which the seniors were invited-so with Miss Long and Mrs. Wood, we donned our raincoats and grabbed our umbrellas to sit in the April showers at the Walron Hotel to arrive. That year, five mar- Woody, Brevard Brown, Gwendolyn were selected, and with Mary- four seniors to find their vay cut and watch for the Nay flowers shals, Mary Alice Seals, Mac Monteith, and Jean Sandlin, Alice as chief, we helped the of dear old Swain Hi. The day dawned brightly cn August 23, 1946. We were SENIORS J the first time in our high school days, - room. For we were all in one home room. (incidentally, it was th. library, so Mrs. Cab. was put in charge of the fifty seniors.) This year we also had four new members added to the class: Lauretta Smith (who changed Barefoot) from Indiana, Leonannie Shuler, Jeanette Shuler, and Burdell Green, who came from Virginia. We lost several members, leo Briggs and Christene Welch, who married j Oecil Totherow who stopped school; Wa rd wh o mo v e d Burdell Green who returned to Virginia; Cecil to Cullowhee; Brevard Brown, president of our trans ferred Edwards• Lee who s tudont oca- Class History (Continued) When Brevard left, another controversy over the presidency arose but was settled by the constitution, ( ' which we helped ' write in 1944) and Max Reed was elected president of the student body. Our council representatives were Jimny Cooper, Herbert Morrow, Reva Queen, and Dorothy Fortner, Hone room officers were Pearl Ammons.Presidentj Mary Alice Seals, Vice-President; Burl Laney, Secretary;: Curtiss Revis, Treasurer, Since Pearl was president, she lead the seniors to the fiesta prepared by the junior class, where she also invited everyone to take a siesta while she spoke. Needless to say, everyone thoroughly enjoyed that trip to Mexico, thanks to the juniors and their sponsors. Miss Muse and Miss Long, Two main events happened in the winter and spring. Janes Branton became the proud father of Charles James on January 7, 1947; and Geneva Watson married Porter Crisp in March, 1947. (She was the fourth senior bride of the year.) When Class night rolled around, we had occasion to rem¬ ember our four years in high school and also were allowed to peek into the future. The high light of the year was our graduation. We were no longer seniors. Our years at Swain High were over, and we were to step out to face the world, fortified by the good will and good wishes of the student body and the faculty. To us, Swain High will always be the most wonderful place in the world, and with tears of regret we (bid) the students, and faculty, Farewell 1 ' SCHOOL SONG SALUTE TC SWAIN HI SWAIN HI, SWAIN HI , We ever praise thy nobleness And we have for thee, SWAIN HI, We salute SWAIN UI w and hail thee w i th And through our lives you a s ong be, pres3 - Tha soho01 t0 whioh our hfmrt£ belonc Chorus Thou are majestic, SWAIN HI, •Neath the Carolina blue Y e salute thee SWAIN HI, And to thee we’ll e ' er be true. With colors of maroon and white. With standards always for the ng.i , We hail thee Alma Mater, And sing praises that are due. . VQ |i ' fW W V CLASS PROPHECY We prized open the bars over the window and made our way hand over hand down the rope to freedom. (I still think it would have been easier to walk out the front door.) rom here we proceed to proceed. Yfhet are ell those people doing in a huddle - a football game? Pushing our way through the crowd we come upon a tell, lanky, dark-haired man who is try¬ ing to sell the public a new idea of his to drain ihe Atlantio into the Pacifio through a straw (from Bennett ' s). In the meantime,a short, red-headed guy is explaining the wonderful combination (something that sounds suspiciously like the witches ' brew in Shakespeare ' s Macbeth ) cure-all that is guaranteed to put back on its feet anything (anything, that is) that isn ' t already six feet under, (in this case it isn ' t always effective.) ' We learn that there is only a limited supply of this wonderful mixture oalled Burl ' s Bitters, so you had better get yours now. Next we walk into a meat market to chew the fat with Mac. Yfaile discussing old basketball times and cussing customers, we notice Geneva Watson Crisp trying to decide which she wants for dinner - roasted rump of a tree-dwelling elephant with ecstasy sauce or jellied armadillo brain. Eager to leave and continue our observation, we are forcibly pushed out the door at closing time. Strolling down the street, we come upon James Branton selling Grit. Not wanting to miss anything we buy one and turn immediately to the Odd, Strange, and Curious page. What ' s this? A large picture of Max Reed and Curtis Revis just publishing their first book of poetry. MyJ Vfhat ' s happened to Max ' s hat? Oh, that ' s not his hat, that ' s a pic of him when ha was four years old. And on the next page we find a picture of Mary Alice Seals carrying an elephant she has bagged in Africa. We had heard she was making notable progress in her missionary work. Three cheers for Mary AliceJiJ A beauty parlor obstructs our view so we squeeze through the revolving door to be met by Dorothy Fortner. She takes us into the office and asks us to please sit down. Carlena Ihanas, her boss, is out at the moment but will be back pres¬ ently. Vlhile we look through 1S47 magazines, Ruth Wilson dashes in to get permanents for her five girls. We also learn that Madge and Bill have had another fight. Tired of gossip, we leave Carlena ' s Beauty Parlor to visit Jeanette Shuler and Marie Sherrill ' s Dress Shop. Just as we prepare to enter, we notice a large circus poster across the street advertising! Ernestine and Willa 3ell - Spanish dancers, Hilda and Gilda - Comedians, and Lois Ledford and Catherine Byrd - the team on the Flying Trapeze. Just around the corner we greet Miss Cassada, with a woe begone look on her face, ooming out - of a Gypsy fortune-teller ' s hut owned by Clova Lee Maahburn. ■ ' Class Prophaoy - Continued Hie theater next door is featuring a new production star¬ ring Jinmy Cooper - tapdancer. His leading lady, Ellean Ifcrtin, in a sarong, is really staying ' em in Hollywood. That new sensational orohestra leader. Bob Sherrill, isn ' t half bad either. Jean Cochran and Opal Ball have become commercial teachers at Swain Hi, haven ' t they? I heard one of the interns baok at the Institution for the Higher Education of the Mentally Unbalanced say something about her daughter mentioning the two. Sashaying down the street, a new establishment catohos our eye. (Some sentence structure, eh, Mrs. Cabo?) It seems to be some sort of a gallery ' . Thinking it a peanut gallery, we enter cautiously. ' He are met and shushed by Claude Douthit who Informs us that ha is manager of Don ' s Art Gallery. (SobJ SobJ No peanuts.) Since we are inside wo decide to look the place over. Berlin Oliver, the guide, guided us to a large painting of Kilroy - Jack Kicks, Jr. ' s masterpiece. On our way out the back door we stop to chat with Albert Brown, the new Janitor. In the alley we encounter Hugh Gibby who has decended from cleaning diamonds to cleaning streets. On our way to the pet shop owned and operated by leonarmla (Hasn ' t Reva Queen secured a position there? We hear she finds her work very pleasfnt.) We hear strains of music coming from a nearby apartment house. That must be Lauret ' giving her daughter music lessons. Down the street come the thundering hoofbeats of tie great horse. Midget. A cloud cf dust - with the speed of light and hearty HiJ Yoi MidgetJ Johnnie Shuler rides againJJ Well, that ' s over. We can now proceed to the ooncert hall where Jean Sandlin is appearing for her monthly perfor¬ mance as a concert pianist. Is that a soft ball game going on down there on the play¬ ground? Yes, and there ' s Gwendolyn pitching her curves as usual. Who is that sneaking-looking character snooping up the street, with a mask on, peering through a magnifying glass? It ' s - No, it couldn ' t be. Ye6, Joyce Sandlin has finally become an F.3.I. agent. I hear she has become quite famous- Isn ' t she the one that broke up Bobby Ayers and Leonard Mash- burn’s gang of bootleggers? T ey never did get the big boss, did they? SayJ 3y the way, didn ' t that red-headed guy sell¬ ing Burl ' s Bitters look familiar? 9 C1 � s Prophecy - Continued Don ' t tell me that ' s a policeman looking for us 1 It id Girl , you ' d better duok. We ' re caught for aure. Well,it was nice while it lasted. As we drive baok to the Institution in the wagon, we notioe Max Reed ' s summer home. That ' s his FAnoy Fbwl JVrm where he raises his prize Plott hounds. The policeman is a nice one - he permits us to stop at the County Line Tavern, secretly owned by Mac Woody, to get a glass of orange juioe. Boy, I hope the head matron, Mrs. Cabe, won ' t be mad at us for running away. If she is, she might not let us play with our little pups and blow our bubble gum before we go to bedJ CLASS NIGHT In a dream, we seniors went back to our four years in high school end recalled some of the classes that we had had. Miss Long ' s English class - with the refrain of ta-tum, ta- tum , ringing in our ears - brought laughter as bobby pins (in another class) humned the accompaniment. Osoar , par¬ ticularly his ribs, was very ably explained in Miss Cassada ' s biology class. All of the boys gladly trooped to Mr. Grant ' s agricul¬ ture class and listened to his tall tales and the familiar announcement that chapel would be held next period. Mr. Taylor made one of his little checking-up talks, especially on the attitude of the girls, and his ever weloome words, You ' re dismissed for lunch. Amid laughter, paper wads, and airplanes, Mr. Conley taught his history class by using one of his little games , and the class responded with hands, knees, and packages of cigarettes. Mr. Sursavage ' s oommeroial geography class lis¬ tened to Troy read, with all of the boys helping him with the big words. With glad hearts, we rushed into Ma Ferguson ' s sociology class, heard about his hounds, and willingly oopied No slave hunts in our borders. In Mrs. Hiomasson ' s oivios class, we ohose topios for reports and heard about Bert Willis ! staying out of achool, and, with an eye toward freedom, we ran to our home tcom, the library, where Lauretta and the hermonizing kept us busy. Suddenly we were awakened with the news, Mr. Taylor has granted senior privileges! With sighs, mingled with glsdness, we realized that part of our dreams had come to pass .
