Oh, hail t0 thee a Our Alma Mat Page 2 Foreword “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts.” High school days are like a drama, presented in four acts. We, the students, play many parts in this drama. As freshmen, we make our entrances; as seniors, our exits. Some of us take leading parts; others of us play minor roles, In this 1950 edition of the HI-WAYS, “the play's the thing.” Page 4 Dedccattou We, the Senior Class, do dedicate this, the 1950 edition of HI-WAYS, to our good friend and teacher, Miss Frances DeLamar who has played her part well.

This year the seniors engaged in many extra-curricular activities, and for their homeroom they won a radio-record player for selling the most memberships in the Booster Club. Their biggest projects for the year were the senior play, The Campbells Are Coming, presented on April 28th, and the sale of Christ- mas candy to raise money for the class gift.

Page 16 Jo Alyce Lackey Historian ‘gay a On a bright September morning in 1938 a rather large group of anxious children stood with their mothers outside the grammar grade buiding. This was to be the Class of 1950. Our first two years were under the capable leadership of Misses Mary Plunkett and Anne Little Masemore, Mesdames W. L. Ashcraft, Joe Liles, Chase Baughan, and W. L. McKinnon. They guided us in routine school life. In our third and fourth years we were intro- duced to arithmetic and geography by Misses Julia Cameron, Geneva Neil, Barbara Weir, Fannie Dunlap, Alice Lampley, and Mrs. Elinor Gray. During our third year we were in an Operetta given by Mrs. W. L. Wildermuth, our public school music teacher. Our fifth year was very exciting. We were on the top floor of the high school building. Mrs. Heck Allen and Miss Pauline Pinkston helped Say in getting situated in our new building. We had eagerly looked forward to the sixth and seventh grades. Now we were diagraming sentences and making notebooks, under the skill- ful direction of Misses Nora Boggan and Fannie Winfree, and Mesdames W. J. Gullege and W. W. Bennett. Our class increased as pupils from Wade Mill joined us. Seven of the class were chosen for marshals for the eighth grade graduation. They were Bobby Pratt, chief, Tommy Brame, Lib Moore, Jo Alyce Lackey, Dellie Hardison, Bill Covington, and Mildred Livingston. In the eighth grade we advanced more in our studies under Misses Mary Mitchell and Margaret Adcock. However, Miss Adcock embarked on the sea of matrimony and from then until the end of the year we had continuous substitute teachers. We became known as the “Famous Eighth Grade” and anything that happened was blamed on us, even though we were often innocent. We organ- ized a Student Council, which was patterned from the high school Student Council. During our ninth and tenth grades Coach Shelton, Mrs. George Craig, Mrs. Thomas Wall, Misses Norma Smoak, Rachel Bruton, Laura At- cali Robinson, y Charles Scarboro, Helen Howard, Delores Short, Our Clim to Stardom CLASS HISTORY kinson, Lucy Pate, Ann Carter, Edna Gieseking, Mary Alice Turner, Hermine Caraway, and Coach Hall did a splendid job of broadening our knowl- edge. Both the boys and girls entered sports in a big way. Several of us started working on the Student Prints and Hi-Ways staffs. Some of us were initiated into school clubs. As we entered the last scenes of our high school days, we assumed new dignities. Our leaders for the Junior year were Misses Hermine Caraway, Dolores Martindale, Frances DeLamar, Jeanne Griggs, Mrs. Nancy Bowman, Coach Hall, Mr. Wildermuth, Mrs. Sam Harrell, and Mr. J. O. Bowman, Jr. During the year Mr. Terrell, our Superintendent, resigned and Mr. Wildermuth became Superintendent. Coach Shelton was tem- porary Principal. The highlight of our Junior year was the Junior- Senior Banquet. The setting was a “Hawaiian Luau.” We decorated the Country Club with bamboo huts, rambling roses, and a canopy of silver stars. Faye Stogner was elected Booster Queen during that year. This was the second time a Junior became Queen. Margaret Moore was selected as our Christmas Festival Princess. She was the first Junior to receive this honor. Our Junior play, “Ready-Made Family,’ was directed by Miss sriggs. Bobby Spratt. Lib Moore, Lib Faulkner, Fetzer Mills, Faye Stogner, and Joe Harkey were members of the cast. Four of our class graduated with the Class of 1949. They were Bobby Kiser, Bill Covington, Mary Elinor Covington, and Becky Allen. Our marshals for the commencement exercises were Bobby Pratt, Lois Turner, and Lib Moore. Fetzer Mills received the Citizenship Cup, which is awarded to the most outstanding Junior, at the Commencement exercise. And now we have reached the finale. Our formerly large class now numbers only thirty-five. Our class officers are: President, Bobby Pratt; Vice- President, Alvin Butler; Secretary, Faye Stogner; and Treasurer, Joe Harkey. Miss Carrie Sturgis is our Senior advisor. The Seniors chose as their mascot Sharon Ferree. Our class has enjoyed the many improvements made in the school this year. Distributive Educa- tion, taught by Miss Evelyn Bullard, was introduced into our curriculum. All the rooms have been painted and new desks have replaced the old ones.

Midge and “the picture! lamppost”’ Fetzer Mills Testator We, the Senior Class of 1950, about to be handed our Emancipation Proclamation, presumably being of sound mind and body, do hereby make ana execute and publish this our last will and testament. To Mr. Wildermuth (Uncle Willie), our super- intendent, who has so patiently borne the trials and tribulations which come from having such a class as we are, we do leave our deepest apprecia- tion and thanks for his help. To Mr. Baucom, our fun-loving principal, who was “once a boy himself,’ we leave the many permits he has written for our many trips up town. To Miss Sturgis, our wonderful adviser and teacher, we leave the many headaches that come with another senior class, and our deepest apprecia- tion for helping us through this year. To the faculty, we leave the peace of mind which eventually follows our departure. To the Junior Class, we leave our record player, our homeroom, and any privileges that they can get. To the sophomore class, we leave the privilege of being upper classmen. To the freshmen we leave our sincere wishes for a happy and prosperous school life. The following seniors have happily and unself- oe. relinquished some of their traits.

We are the supporting cast, and as such we have a great influence on the outcome of our high school drama. te tl re ale a a a a Page 28 g “aUcard Left to right: Marshall Ratliffe, Vice-President; Anne Bryan Bowman, Secretary and Treasurer; and Joe Burroughs, President. This year the Junior Class was the largest in the history of Wadesboro High School. For the first time there were two Junior homerooms. There was an unusual amount of talent in this class. Members of the Junior Class were responsible for all the art work that was used throughout the entire school. One of the Juniors was accompanist for the Glee Club and played for Chape! programs. All the members of the debating team were Juniors. A Co-captain of both the football and basketball team was a member of the Junior Class. More talent was discovered in this class on December 12, 1949, when the Juniors presented a three-act comedy, YOU'LL DIE LAUGHING. The climax of the Junior Class activities for the year was the Junior-Senior banquet which was held at the Country Club on May 5th.

It took them a while to become accustomed to high school, especially changing classes, but they soon got straightened out. Some of the members of the class were on the publication staffs, and others were on the J. V. football team, the basketball team, the baseball team, and participated In the intermural basketball games. One class which was required. of all Freshmen was physical education, and they were really enthusiastic about Nt.

Four veterans from last year’s debating team represented Wadesboro in the Triangular Debates in March. The topic tor the debate was resolved: The President of the United States should be elected by the direct vote of the people. Mrs. Roy Gaddy and Mrs. Robert Thomas were the team’s advisers. The teams came out well in the debates in their district. The affirmative team defeated ten other teams in their district to win the district championship. This made them eligible to compete in the state finals in Chapel Hill.

Although the Booster Club’s most important function is to boost pep and attendance at the ball games, it also boosts other school activities. This year Booster Day was observed the day of the homecoming football game with Lumberton. Before the game, a parade was held, and during the half the members of the club formed a “W” on the field and crowned the Booster Queen. Page 45 i . VI NW WO Beta Members? ?

Although they didn’t have much luck in the scoring department, the “Kittens,” W. H. S. Junior Varsity, contributed greatly in training players for the first team. The Kittens, coached by Bob Hickman, were mostly boys from the eighth, ninth and tenth grades who were too small or too inexperienced to play on the varsity. Many of these boys will appear on the varsity roster of the Tigers next year. “lhe Varsity W. H. S.’s varsity football team, the Tigers, were coached during the 1949 season by J. Ray Shelton and Bob Hickman. The Tigers received their pre-season training at Cullowhee, N. C. and played their first game after three weeks of practice. Although they won but three games, the boys never stopped trying and were a spirited team throughout the season. The Tigers won their Booster Day game for the eighth consecutive year and kept in force the well- known saying: “Shelton’s men have never lost a homecoming game.” Page 50 Cheerleaders % Need! ; a, oC. 4 re ‘ a - = 3 Az, _— bh ) A Bs a % Y fae Left to right, bottom row: Charles Scarboro, Aichie Tyson, Tibit Meeks, Dewey Preslar.

These -boys and girls do not receive the praise that the football and basketball teams get, but they are a major part of the athletic program. For the first time in the history of the school, this year there were more boys elected cheer- leaders than girls. They all did an excellent job of keeping up the school spirit at home games and out-of-town games. It was the cheerleaders who always managed to charter buses and to get them filled with students to cheer our teams on at the out-of-town football and basketball games.

I think it is wonderful that you have done such a marvelous work there. Tuesday afternoon after I had read your letter, I got into my rocket car and flew to the big landing field near Wadesboro so that I might go and find out about our old classmates. As I stepped from the car, Doug Britt came over to meet me. Doug plays pro-football in the fall and takes care of the field the rest of the time. After I left the landing field, I decided I would go to a movie around at the “Love It” theater, which is owned by Valdon Lovette. Valdon has been running the theater for about five years. I bought myself a box of popcorn, went in, and sat down. The name of the picture was “I Love Me” starring Lib Faulkner and Charles Scarboro. They are now world famous movie stars. When the picture was over, I left and went up o “Fetzer’s Drug Store,” which is owned by Fetz- er Mills. I bought some “Atomic Pills.” They are supposed to cure everything. I hope I don’t die from trying them out. As I_was leaving the drug store, I met Ruth Wright McLean Shh husband, Gilbert, and. . their little boy, Gillie. They make a very nice look- ” ing family? Vio. rye rinting Comp any,” which is owned by Joe Harkey. W Joe prints the Anson County Tribune and draws Going on down the street I passed “Harkey’s Page 65 Our Rolls of “omorrou Senior Class Prophecy cartoons fo r the Charlotte Observer. Some of his cartoons have appeared in several current maga- zines. As I passed by, Joe, Mary Vann, and their “ little girl, Mary Joe, were standing near the win- dow. They waved at me. On down the street further I was almost blown off the sidewalk by a rocket car that came out of the “B-G-P-W” construction company, which is owned and operated by Alvin Butler, Vick Gil- more, Dewey Preslar, and Jerry Wilkinson. By this time it was almost 5:30 in the afternoon. I had to go by the “Melted Into Stars” beauty parlor, owned by Vonnette Melton and Mildred Starling, to have my hair fixed. While I was sitting there Claudia Marsh came in. She looked very tired, and upon entering the parlor, she said, “Those first-graders are going to be the death of me yet!” Claudia hadn’t been there long when Betsy Robinson and Jo Alyce Lackey Wilkinson came in. Betsy is the Home Economics teacher at the high school and Jo is the math teacher. She and Jerry are happily married. When my hair was finished, I went around to “CAROLBE’S,” a dress shop owned by Carole Gray, to get myself a dress. Willie Mae Gaddy, Amelia Hildreth, and Jessie McRae, who are all married, are fel sales-ladies there. Jessie helped me find a nice dress. As I was leaving, I met Margaret Moore, Bar- bara Russell, and Delores Short going into “CAR- OLE’S.” These three are bookkeepers. Margaret, who was recently crowned “Miss Anson of 1960,” works at Belks; Barbara works at “Rusty’s Studio,” which is operated by Rusty Graef. Delores works at ROPERS = MOTORS SAL ESSCOMPANY = which is owned by Dick Roper. Dick is also the editor of the leading paper in Anson county, The Anson Tribune. By this time it was getting very late, and I, being in a big hurr y, and not looking where was going, ran smack into Johnny Hill, fell down, and broke my leg. Johnny owns a shoe stofe now. [A about two minutes an ambulance from the “Hurry and Die” funeral home, owned by Lib Moore’s husband came and took me to the hospital. In connection with Lib I might add that she has recently written a book, What It’s Like To Live In A Funeral Home, which is a best seller. It has been selected as book of the month. At the hospital I was taken care of by Dr. Archie Tyson, who is a world famous surgeon, and Helen Howard and Ruth Treadaway, (Continued on Page 80) Pv who are head Ze Lc PF, ah 4,2 y gost sf? “Good Health to All H.

CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page 17) During Christmas holidays, fluorescent lights were installed in all the classrooms. The P. T. A. gave the school a cyclorama for our auditorium. Several of our class are the heads of Publications and Clubs this year. Lib Moore is Editor of the Annual; Lib Faulkner, business manager; and Jo Alyce Lackey, assistant editor. Dick Roper is Editor of the Student Prints; Bobby Pratt, assistant editor; and Claudia Marsh, business manager. One of our classmates, Margaret Moore, was elected district President of the Distributive Education clubs this fall. —— _€ — This is not the end of our class history. When we graduate, we will begin a new role, one in the — outside world. Our high school years have passed quickly and happily. As we launch out, using our class motto, “Strive, Learn, Dare,” we will steadily go onward to fulfill our ambitions. CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Page 65) nurses there. After my leg was set, I turned on the television set near the bed to the “Concert Hour.” Who was guest soloist but Juanita Hanna! Juanita has just returned from a singing tour through South America. Bobby, there is only one person left to tell about —Faye Stogner. She is now the youth director at the Presbyterian Church and is doing a fine job. She has recently drawn up plans for a new youth building which will be constructed this coming fall. Well Dr. Pratt, your letter caused me to break . leg, but it is completely healed now and it was worth it to find out about all of our old friends. [ hope you enjoyed hearing about your classmates. [ wish I had time to write more, but I am leaving tomorrow on a concert tour and must get in two hours of practice tonight. Musically yours, Lois TURNER NN pena Re a THE HERALD Press, INC.
