It is then that the student is at his best; it is this lighter side which it is the purpose of THE Acorn to portray. This portrayal is not complete and only glimpses here and there in the course of the year can be given. We, there- fore, crave your leniency in passing judgment upon its defects, and asks that any merits it possesses may be praised. May this volume of THE Acorn be a memory treasure to the present students, a reminder of days gone by to former graduates, and a means whereby a greater Union will grow up in the near future to shed its influence far and wide. ter — S35 —ss - a ZOerxA ,FOR UMD x — owen As a tribute of highest esteem, we dedicate this volume of THE ACORN to MISS ENA KATE LUTZ Instructor of English whose loyal and genial personality have won her many friends at Union and elsewhere. i = —SO x — Ce a ra ee — a aD =a = 2 4 7 CONTENTS III.

CLASS POEM There is always found in memory A place for our high school years That is forever sacred, yet happy, Through our smiles as well as our tears. To our parents so loving and dear May we ever show honor and gratitude For all they have done for us year by year As we through our school days pursued. To our teachers, so patient and kind, Be thankful for everything in every way. They have helped us in lessons to find Knowledge and character day by day. To our colors, let us forever be true, The white stands for virtuous purity. Truth is found hidden in the blue; May truth and purity be our life’s security. “Tonight we launch, where shall we anchor” Is the chosen motto of our class. But let us not be found in languor Lest all great opportunities by us pass. Even though we finish in the year 43 In this year of world war and envious strife, To our school and class forever be Loyal, all the days and years of our life. —MARTHAVY ODER, CLAss FLOWER Lilac CLass COLORS W hite and Blue IRENE WARD Class Treasurer 1, Vice-President 3; Glee Club 3; Junior Play 3; Senior Play 4; Read- ing Contest 2.

SENIOR SUPERLATIVES DORIS BEAM EVELYN BROWN DAPHINE SAIN Best All-Round Most studious Best Athlete M. S. HEAVNER ROBERT LEONHARDT RUBY SCRONCE Best athlete—Best All-Round Prettiest Most handsome BACHMAN BROWN Most intelligent and most likely t o succeed CLASS HISTORY In the summer of 1939 fifty-seven inspired pupils entered high school. Twenty- nine of these pupils had completed their elementary school training at Union, and twenty-eight came from Howard’s Creek School. The following officers were elected: President, Mable Leonard; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, Inez Ward. All went well under the leadership of these three, and almost before we realized it, the year had passed. There were thirty-nine that responded to the call of the ninth grade. One of our first duties was to elect officers. They were: President, Robert Leonhardt; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, Inez Ward. We tried to prove worthy of our name, wise Sophomores. Twelve of the girls were selected as waitresses for the annual Junior-Senior banquet. Our class was honored at commencement with four of our class receiving medals. They were Bachman Brown, History; Evelyn Brown, Mathematics; Mable Leonard, Science; and Carl Avery, Sportsmanship. As we began our Junior year our enrollment was thirty-nine. Nine of these joined the Beta Club. Those leading the class were: President, Bachman Brown; Vice-President, Inez Ward; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; and Treasurer, James Seagle. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior banquet. We carried out the theme Hitch Your Wagon to a Star. Our Junior play was Bashful Bobby given at commencement. Again, two members received medals, Bachman Brown, English; and Mable Leonard, Debating. In July 1942 we found ourselves back at Union as dignified Seniors. Our first act was to elect officers. Those selected were: President, Robert Leonhardt; Vice- President, James Seagle; Secretary, Evelyn Brown; Treasurer, Mary B. Carpenter; and Class Advisor, Miss Lutz. This year four more members joined the Beta Club making a total of thirteen members from our class. During the year five members left us, so now our class has a membership of twenty-three—six boys and seventeen girls. Due to war-time conditions and to a nation-wide rationing program, our class has not had the opportunity to engage in many extra curricula activities this year. Our most outstanding program was our Senior play, “So Help Me Hanna”. The Class of ’43 has always been active and outstanding in all phases of school life: In scholarship, in athletics, in dramatics, debating, 4-H Club work, and in all school activities. We are now looking forward to graduation, the time when we can take our places as responsible citizens of our county, state, and nation. M. S. HEavner, Historian. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1943 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF LINCOLN We, the Senior Class of Union High School, being of good spirits and usual sound mind and memories, realizing we must soon journey from these much loved walls of learning, have mutually agreed to dispose of our vast estate and personal property which fate has so graciously bestowed upon us.

CLASS PROPHECY As I drifted over Hawaii I stopped for a brief visit. The people were carrying on bravely in the face of their disaster. I was saddened to find the schools suffering so for lack of teachers. I offer the challenge to you. EvELYN Brown: I can’t wait to go. I have always wanted to travel and teach. MaZzELLE HEAvVNER: I want to go with you and teach Home Economics. On and on I traveled until I came to Australia. I found the soldiers begging for more Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus Workers, and U. S. O. entertainers. BacHMAN Brown: Since I plan to study for the ministry I shall go at once to Australia. INEZ Warp: I see where I can use my musical talent as a U. S. O. entertainer. When I landed in China I realized for the first time just what it actually means to those people to have the light of religion brought to them. Won’t some of you volunteer for that great cause? Rusy Scronce: Yes, I have always wanted to go to the foreign fields. GEORGE Rosinson: I shall go as a medical missionary. As I made a survey of Europe, I found so many places of need. I can only mention a few. The plight of the little French children was pitiful. They were in crowded places while their parents tried to work. They need day nurseries, nutrition workers, and playground instructors. SaLLIE Kate WaruicK and Let1a Houser: That’s my call. ’'d love to work in the day nursery. Mary B. Carpenter: I shall go as a nutrition worker. DapHINne Sain: And I as a playground instructor. CLASS PROPHECY After I finished my assignments I reached for my favorite daily paper. As I scanned first one headline then another, I imagined going into the countries islands, and places about which I had been reading. b) As I traveled far and wide over the world I realized as never before that there were so many places where trained workers were needed. I flew over the battlefields of Africa, the war-torn countries of Europe, the strands of India and back over the towering skyscrapers of America. In each place I stopped I was besieged with requests to send help. At first I wondered what I could do, and then I thought of the thousands of young people who would be graduating from high school at this time of the year, and especially did I think of my classmates, and that they would be just the ones to fill some of these places. I went to a meeting of my class and told my story. As I glided over the vast Pacific I landed in the midst of one of the war-torn islands. I was attracted by a large hospital in the distance. Upon investigation I found that they were crowded with sick and wounded soldiers and were facing a scarcity of doctors, nurses, and dietitians. Here is a wonderful opportunity for our American youth. M. S. Heavner: I have always planned to study medicine. I shall offer my services at once. Mapce Woop: I shall go as a nurse. VIRGINIA Goins: And I shall join you. Doris Beam: I’m just dying to be a dietitian. I know I can be of service there. There was great need of construction engineers in North Africa to rebuild landing fields and important buildings which had been destroyed. JAMES SEAGLE: I shall join the engineer’s corps. I am willing to go to Africa. CLASS PROPHECY In England far from the noise of battle, I visited the “Home for Incurables”. They need someone to read to them, to teach them some kind of handwork, and to entertain them. Dorotuy Davis and Mary RutH Huss: We will go. Across the Atlantic I flew and soon I was home again. Home where many fields of service are open to our boys and girls. I landed in New York. I saw a crude tower in which a single light was burning. Two silent figures were scanning the skies. I soon learned that they were spotters searching for enemy planes. Here is a splendid opportunity to be of service. Rosert LEONHARDT and GerorcE RoystTEeR: We will volunteer. I found on the home front need for industrial workers. The men on the fighting front must be replaced by high school boys and girls. The schools are suffering because so many teachers have left. We must provide the best education for the children of America if we are to keep the kind of country we are fighting for. MartTHa Yooper: I have always dreamed of teaching. Everyone of my classmates answered their call to service. I wondered what I might do. I knew that our government is calling for trained workers in offices. The need is desperate. So I’m off to prepare and go wherever I’m most needed. MarGaret WISE, Prophetess. ES, yee CLASS PICTURE In preparing a picture of the Class of 1943, I will not attempt to give you an exact likeness, because I'm not an artist and everybody knows it. Any of the teachers could tell you that I have never been good in drawing anything—except attention—and could never paint anything successfully, not even my own face. Besides, the Class of 1943 is a lively subject for even an expert to sketch. They are never any of them twice alike, nor apt to be found twice in the same place or position. I cannot see them as they see themselves, nor even as you may see them if you might stand for a time in my position. I can only paint them in words. I am sure you will pardon the exact measure- ments, for I know I would make a better carpenter than I would an artist. The Class of 1943 is made up of twenty-three members—six boys and seven- teen girls. We range in age from Mary Ruth Huss’s fifteen years, eight months, and three days, to James Seagle’s eighteen years, six months, and four days. We range in height from Mary B. Carpenter’s four feet nine and one-half inches—high heels, tall pompadour—to Bachman Brown’s six feet, with or without his silk stockings. We range in weight from Mary B.’s eighty-two pounds—brain and all— to Bachman’s one hundred and sixty-five pounds. CLASS PICTURE Taken together as one in body, we would make up an individual of sufficient age to know a great deal, if he’s ever going to begin to learn, for we would be three hundred and thirty-four years old. Our height is eight hundred and twenty- five feet and one and one-half inches, which certainly raises us far enough up in the world to allow us to tower above our enemies. We tip the scales at exactly two thousand, seven hundred and ninety-seven pounds. Our hand is large enough to get a good firm grasp upon the affairs of the world, for we wear a hundred sixty-seven and one-half glove. Our head is of sufficient capacity to hold even the vast amount of knowledge we have been cramming into it for the past four years, for we require a hat that measures four hundred and ninety-two. If we do not make the success in life that we desire and expect, it will surely not be because we cannot gain a foothold on the world’s battleground, by way of our colossal understanding, for we wear a number one hundred thirty-seven and one- half shoe. We have within our ranks, poets, musicians, actresses, preachers, statesmen, philosophers, professors, judges, lecturers, physicians, authors, artists, soldiers, sailors, and one United States president. Do not ask me to specify the which or the who. Ask me thirty years from now, and perhaps I may be better able to say, for, of course, they are still in a state of partial development. This is a subdued picture of the Class of 1943 very crudely sketched, but it gives us a glimpse of the great things it foreshadows. Mapce Woop.
