Class Poem As we, the departing seniors, Move on to make way for the new, We think of the things we’d forgotten, The things we had planned to do. The remembrance of glorious achievement, Of the ardent, burning desire To succeed in the undertakings That set our hearts afire, Of the earnest, unceasing striving, With the ultimate goal in sight, To build our strength and wisdom, To distinguish wrong from right, Returns with a surge of emotion, As the parting of ways draws near, And we'll fondly treasure the memory Of all that to us is so dear. ==MORTo VIL GH EEE Hass History Class Historian Rebecca Jones @e LONG JOURNEY is over—an- other has just begun. A beautiful take-off sends the expertly piloted airplanes soaring upward to the sky. For twelve, long, end- less years a dauntless crew have patiently prepared themselves to land these planes safely in their chosen fields in the land of tomorrow. The training of these mighty pilots started when the parents of these air-minded girls and boys first brought them to the WADES- BORO PILOT’S TRAINING SCHOOL. It was early recognized by instructors Liles and Plunkett that these students were defi- nitely making the sky the limit; therefore they immediately began laying the founda- tion for students whose ideals were stretch- ing upward toward the sky. Before the students could learn to fly, it was necessary for them to learn the parts of the airplane in which they would travel. Thus it became the task of instructors Leak and Baughan to teach them the fundamental parts. These were reading, writing, and arithmetic which would be used throughout their entire training and the knowledge of which would govern the progress they made. By the aid of head instructors Gray, Gul- ledge, and Bennett the students learned to operate the parts of the plane in every de- tail. Here many months of experiment and theory prepared this class for their actual practice flying. Then it became the task of instructors Pinkston, Allen, Dunlap, and Boggan to put into practice the theories learned during the early years of training. Although some rough days were exper- ienced, no fatal crack-ups occurred and after intensive training under chief instructors Cunningham, Gulledge, Johnson, and Wilder- muth the class was prepared to solo. How thrilled they were when they were at last on their own. This year the class was divided because different landing fields were being sought. Some excellent take-offs were made, but storms of study drove some of the planes down in the Latin landing fields. But with the aid of instructors Stancel, Stough, and later Kirby the planes were again able to take off and lookouts Morris and Cartier for English and science saw them pass high over their fields. This year, under the direc- tion of instructor Cartier, a few planes joined the band that was organized. The flying in this field was smooth and at the end of the year the planes competed in a national fly- ing contest. The contest was tough, but the planes came out in second place. In the contest some of the pilots received special recognition and medals for their superb fly- ing. All went well until a small group of planes got lost and cracked-up in the algebra airport. Some of the planes were not badly damaged and through the aid of able instruc- tor Johnson most of the planes were re- paired and again sent on their way. After the loss of these planes the remain- ing planes continued their course. Some forced landings were made in the fields of —— | Pc te ‘ English and biology, but the planes took off again under the direction of instructors Spence and Wildermuth. Some of the planes made beautiful landings in the fields of home economics and industrial arts where they were taught by instructors Davis and Hicks, who sent them away prepared for any hard- ships that might arise. As their training continued, their courses became more advanced and required greater study, but these courses carried them into many interesting fields during their eleventh year of preparation. This year a small group of planes landed in the Johnson field of geometry, overcame the storms of study, mastered the dark and gloomy days, and took off victoriously to land in smoother fields of typing, history, and other fields that were sought. This same year instructor Holder of the English airport saw all the planes fly high over that difficult field of English. Some of the planes landed in the French fields to attempt the difficulties in landing on that dangerous runway. Most of the planes made successful landing and in- structor Kirby wished them “Bon voyage’ as they again took off to master other fields. Aside from the regular training of the students, special recreation was planned on different occasions. This year the entire class took part in producing a play ‘“Profes- sor How Could You!” under their beloved instructor Craig, and later the same year they enjoyed a banquet given through their own effort to the upperclassmen. This year was truly filled with learning and with pleasure. With the memories of the last year’s ex- perience still fresh in their minds, the class started their last year of training. Many unexpected changes occurred. Because of the war the pilot training schools were turned over to the government, and WADESBORO PILOT’S TRAINING SCHOOL was no ex- ception. The school became a United States Army Pilot’s Training School, the instruc- tors became commissioned officers, and the students became cadets. Their training was no longer preparing them for civilian pilots —they were being trained to pilot army planes and to do combat fighting. Because of the war conditions, instructors were hard to obtain but the students carried on. In the absence of a band instructor, Charles Stevens stepped in and did a fine job of training the band until Lieutenant Warlick could be secured to take that position. Spe- cial training for the girls under Major Shel- ton and Captains Kirby and Fink was started. The boys received their military training un- der Major Cashion. Other training was not neglected. Instructors Wall, Johnson, and Allen received their commissions as lieuten- ants, and they effectively carried on their part of the job to be done. By the undying efforts of the chief officer General Holder the cadets were able to put their class up to Army Air Corps requirements. After this intensive training they were proud that Cadets Nappy Winfree and Brack Johnson were prepared for actual service and that they were called to the aid of their country. The last year of training was to bring to the cadets a new commanding officer. After the resignation of instructor Snuggs, instruc- tor Wildermuth of the science and math air- fields became the chief instructor and later the commanding officer of the training school. Their job was a hard one and only through the efforts of Four Star General Lewis and Brigadier General Wildermuth were the cadets able to complete their train- ing. At last all the cadets finished their train- ing as Army Pilots and their graduation ex- ercises were held June 1, 1948. Besides the boys who went into active service of their country most of the class graduated together. Although some were lost, others injured fatally, others grounded, most of them braved the storms together. Their training is over, their work has be- gun.

Last Will aud “ estameut To All Whom This May Concern: We, the seniors of 1943 of Wadesboro High School, being of unsound mind and body, and having succeeded in deceiving the faculty with our apparent intelligence, declare our- selves legally able to make this last and only will and testament, and do hereby bequeath, give, donate, present, grant, offer, and be- stow the following: To Mr. Lewis, our thoughtful superintend- ent, we leave our appreciation for his sup- port through our high school life. To Mr. Wildermuth, our loyal principal, we leave our gratitude for all he has done for us. To Miss Holder, our beloved teacher, we leave all our love for her faithful guidance over the last year of our high school life. To the faculty, our heartfelt thanks for all the help that they have tried to give us— and our humble apologies for being so far from a model class. To the class of 1944, we leave the honor of dusting the front rows in chapel, and the privilege of using the front steps at recess. To the class of 1945, we leave all the head- aches of being a junior and the direction of the junior-senior banquet. To the class of 1946, we leave all our hopes for a great high school life. The following seniors have bequeathed the following traits with hopes that the bene- ficiaries will receive full benefit from and use Class Testator Helen Coit Redfearn to good advantage all things bequeathed them. I, Vallie Lowe, do bequeath my ability to preside over the senior class to the presi- dent of the class of 1944. I, Rebecca Jones, do bequeath my size to Dabney Little. I, Betty Latham, do bequeath my infec- tious laugh to anyone who can successfully imitate it. I, Nappy Winfree, do bequeath my role of sheik of the class to Bobby Anderson. I, Annabel Allen, do bequeath my quietness to Lomie Lou Mills. I, Ernest Gulledge, do bequeath my disin- terest in women to Frank Tucker. I, Virginia McKinnon, do bequeath my ability to get things done to Peggy Pruette. I, Alice Brower, do bequeath my ability to run the office to Cornelia Winfree. I, Emma Gathings, do bequeath my ability to argue teachers out of lessons to Margaret Terry. I, John Kiker, do bequeath my airplane building ability to T. D. Burns. I, Jay Mills, do bequeath my ability to ex- ecute to the next president of the Student Council. I, Helen Coit Redfearn, do bequeath my ability to talk incessantly and mostly about nothing to Laura Talent. | (Continued on Page 58) es are = = : soe es Se Fee ee as : SF ae sant Pan meee ee TO Class Prophet Sheffield Liles Here I am, traveling half a mile above what I would have called in my school days, the “world of tomorrow.” As I look across the sky, I see the air traffic seething with all types of aircraft, including numerous auto- planes similar to the one I am flying. Be- low me, large, modernistic buildings seem- ingly reach skyward, like searching fingers, toward the fleeting aircraft. Runways built above the outskirts of the cities make the earth below like a vague pattern of cobwebs. Suddenly I wonder about the construction of this miraculous world of today. Now I re- member vividly. This baffling world of to- day is being constructed by men and women who were the puzzled girls and boys of yes- terday—men and women like, and including, my cherished schoolmates of °43. Those schoolmates have played a great part in build- ing this democracy into a dynamic, modern- istic nation. I wonder where they are now; I wonder what they are still dog toward the development of this nation. But wait, T’ll find out. My starting autoplane carries me with breathtaking speed westward to the island of Catalina, California. Upon my arrival, I taxi onto a small runway of the Hill In- stitute of Female Fliers. Caroline Hill, su- pervisor of instruction, welcomes me into a class where the H. I. F. F.’s are receiving ex- pert instruction in the arts of the airways. In Cass Prophecy an adjoining building there is a renowned experimental aircraft station. Two familiar faces greet me. Here are two more members of the ’43 class—John Kiker and James Hart, who are adding their inventions to the many astonishing ones of today. In fact, I dis- cover that this particular model of auto- plane in which I am traveling was perfected by them. I find, too, that Harry Treadaway and Edgar Gathings have made the head- lines by assuming the sometimes precarious task of testing the inventions made at the station ! I reluctantly leave the island and start to- ward Los Angeles. The famed movie colony of Hollywood quickly comes into view. I land my autoplane, fold the wings, and drive onto a highway. My destination is a nearby, famed theatre where a sparkling musical comedy, “Frankie and Johnny” is being pre- viewed. Upon arriving there, I find that our own Betty Latham and “Pic” Stanback are playing the leading roles. In this comedy, Betty makes a name for herself as a vocal- ist as well as a comedienne, by her hilarious rendition of the title song. We schoolmates will remember having heard her similar ren- dition of that song back in ’43. The new heart-throb of the movies, “Pic” Stanback, is, as usual, thrilling many by his perform- ance.

Signed the first day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand and Nine Hundred and Forty-three. The Class of 1943 Helen Coit Redfearn Testator. Cass Prophecy (Continued from Page 23) Clark. Marion and John play the part of the “two little morons.” Their vivid antics are reviving a joke we oldsters of ’43 told. Com- bined with the comedy are sparkling modern dance routines, which are taking America by storm. Creator of these dances, and soloist in the picture, is lovely Edith Huntley. After the show I get aboard my autoplane and head for Sweetwater, Texas. I have heard a great deal about a “Doris” dress shop there, and I have a feeling that the shop is run by Doris Mitchell, whom I once knew. I reach the shop and find it is. There are Kathleen Thompson and Edna Tice—they’re Doris’s expert advisers. Under the influ- ence of their high-pressure salesmanship, I find, as I leave, my small plane is jammed with ‘‘Doris” creations! Upon my arrival in Baton Rouge, the first striking thing I encounter is an enormous sign reading: ‘Knowles’ Kindergarten.” Sure enough, it is Goldie Knowles’; and with her are her three able assistants, Floreine Bivens, Pauline Moore, and Mary Grace Cov- ington. These cunning four are in the midst of “cramming” cute little Marys and Johns for the first grade. The scene rapidly changes, and I alight in Mobile. I see a peculiar sign reading: “VT Mies Hate? eovVerr ae Chic sop em OUleor curiosity, I go in and Maryland Treadaway, Irene Melton, and Mildred Meeks all rush toward the front of the shop. Yes, they’re the creators of the lovely plastic and light- weight metal hats, called “M.I.M.’s”. The unusual name for the hats was formed from the first initials of the girls’ names! Before {1 start my journey southward to Florida, the girls insist upon giving me a beautiful aluminum “number.” The appearance of numerous fruit groves shows me I am approaching the heart of Florida. In Tampa, at the site of the new million-dollar government run hospital, the head nurse greets me. It’s our own Annabel Allen, who has skillfully fulfilled her child- hood ambition of being a nurse. The capable head technicians In the enormous experi- mental laboratory adjoining the hospital are the two Helens from the class of ’43, Helen Hales and Helen Coit Redfearn, who have also fulfilled their ambitions. I start my route up through the beginning of the deep South. As I enter Georgia, a well- known college campus first attracts my at- tention. Upon landing, I see two dignified college professors seemingly engaged in an argument. Why, they’re the men whose names are on the lips of many Americans: Jay Mills and Hugh Hardison! They have completely revolutionized the methods of education. This college is run by their meth- ods, in which the students have sole charge of the functioning of the college—they even choose their professors. I wonder who that tall, sandy-haired man joining the professors is. Of course, I know him—he’s the college’s beloved coach, Vallie Lowe. I board my autoplane and head it toward the Carolinas. As I pass over the corn area near Columbia, South Carolina, I notice a large division of a field in which odd green plants covered with white spots are growing. To satisfy my curiosity, I land near the field and taxi out to it. It’s a field of the new “shuckless corn’ I’ve read so much about! On the far side of the field I encounter the men who introduced this type of corn: Les- ter Hubbard, W. B. Winfree, and Charles Gurley. Once over the South Carolina State line into North Carolina, I proceed to Raleigh. I find that the eminent social-worker who is head of that department is our own Lula Welsh Davidson! It’s obvious that ‘““Welshie”’ still has the same knack for business matters that she was known for in high school. After having taken a round-about trip to Charlotte, N. C., I stop first at the location of the offices of “The North Carolinian’s Data.” There I discover the editor of this weekly magazine is Virginia McKinnon and her as- sociate editor, Emma Gathings. Virginia and Emma have received a great deal of publicity for their superb publication. From the business section of the city, I go to a large college on the outskirts. An eminent musician is giving a concert at the college. Of course he is our Charles Stevens! My location is now fifty-two miles from— well, you schoolmates of ’43 know where. Yes, I’ve saved the best trip till the last— a trip to dear old Wadesboro. I discover that the leading lawyers of the metropolis are “Nap” Winfree and Brack Johnson. Immedi- ately, I speed to W. H.S. I have some diffi- culty locating it—could that spacious, mod- ernistic building be W. H. 8.? To my aston- ishment I find that W. H. S. has been so com- pletely remodeled that one of its graduates would hardly recognize it. After I reach the front door, Becky Jones, the competent sup- erintendent, comes out of her office to wel- come me. She tells me of the remodeling of W. H. S. under the plans of the renowned architect, Ernest Gulledge. She also tells me that the remodeling was carried out un- der the supervision of James Sanders. I talk next to Charlotte Hough and Christine Gray. Charlotte and Christine have charge of the educational system now being introduced at W.H.S. Becky then takes me down to the modernized home economics department. I then see the commercial department which is under the able direction of Alice Brower, and her assistants, Annabelle Henry and Inez Pegram. After I have looked over the school and start down the front steps of W.H.S., I see someone coming up the steps whom I’m sure I recognize. It is our beloved senior class ad- visor, Miss Holder. She is talking to a small group of students. Here is what I hear: “Yes, those seniors of ’43 are one class I shall never forget. They were one of my favorite classes and they’ve made their mark in life as well as in my heart. It was a dismal, war-torn world that they stepped into when they graduated, but never once were they hopeless. They accepted the challenge and rose high in the building of this new order.” Sheffield Liles, Prophet. are . his, rm vid g
