One of the most exciting high- ways on which we travel is the highway of high school days. It usually takes us four long years to travel through this highway, but during this trip, we see more educational scenery, and experience more together than on any other highway of our own choosing in future journeys. At first as we begin this eventful trip along the muddy path leading through Freshman village, we feel small and not capable of meeting the new subjects of this territory. As the path becomes a smoother road, we arrive at Sophomore ‘Town, and gradually make our way to Juniorville. Here � we travel on a modern three lane highway, much better than the two lane one through Sophomore Town. The scenery becomes more dense and we are exposed to culture and historic spots. Finally when we arrive at Senior City — the end of our four-year trip, we travel on a shiny four lane high- way, at the end of which are hundreds of cross- roads leading to every highway in the world. The decision of which road we will travel next is up to us. We complete one of the most exciting trips of our life together. Then we must choose for our- selves what our next destination will be. Come with us as in this edition of H1-Ways we map our journey along the WHS highway 1953. : . © We, the Senior Class of Wadesboro High School, dedicate this edition of Hi-Ways to our teacher, band master, glee club director, Beta sponsor, driver's training instructor, and friend, Mr. Harold Grant, who has guided us wel l along our high school roads.

It stops at the crossroads outside Senior City, and there the pedestrians choose their own life-time road. ON HIGHWAY 1953 Highway 1953 has led us to Senior Citvy—the metropolis of the WHS highway. We are the leaders on the highway. We head all the major clubs; we are responsible for editing and financing the publications; and we occupy the front seats in chapel. This is the year that we give a senior play, measure for our caps and gowns, order invitations, and finally get that diploma—the ticket to an even broader highway than the one we have just traveled.

CLASS SONG (tune: Auf Wiedersehn) The time has come for us to part; We start a journey new. These years together from the start Have been a friendship true. But now a higher goal we seek; And parting from our class, We bid good-bye, yet hope to meet Again upon new paths. MOTTO A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep.

The first mile of our journey was very capably directed by Miss Mary Plunkett, Mrs. Joe Liles, and Miss Anne Little Masemore. Under their guidance we were introduced to the ‘‘three R’s’’, reading, “‘riting,” and “‘rithmetic,” and we were well off to a good start by the time we reached the second milestone. Here we were met by three new guides, Mrs. Chase Baughan, Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, and Miss Elizabeth Webb, who very patiently and pains- takingly guided us over Subtraction Hill. In high spirits and no worse for the wear of having journeyed for two long years, we took off down the road for the third and fourth miles of the way led by Misses Leona Edwards, Julia Cameron and Alice Lampley, and Mesdaces Eleanor Gray and Evelyn Wright. We laboriously crossed over Multiplication Rocks and my, were we shocked when we came upon demon geography! However we were repaid for the struggle by the sight of a new building, which was to be our abode for the rest of this trip. We were greeted at the door by Mrs. H. EF. Allen and Miss Pauline Pinkston, our new guides, who introduced us to Mr. Dictionary and tried in vain to acquaint us with the intricacies of frac- tions. That proved to be a very trying experience for both travelers and guides, but we finally rounded the sixth mile. Here we met Misses Evelyn Haney and Fannie Winfree, and Mesdames W. J. Gullege and Ray Jolly, our directors for the sixth and seventh miles. We thoroughly enjoyed presenting assembly pro- grams, and making notebooks was a “cinch” com- pared with working decimals and percentage. After seven miles of travel there developed among us seven learned travelers—Martha Hunt, Virginia Tyson, Claudia Covington, Dot McLaurin, Mary Plyde Marsh, Loretta Helms, and Beatrice Caulder. Upon these was bestowed the signal honor of serv- ing as marshals for junior high commencement. All too quickly we rounded the eighth mile of our journey. Our trip to Raleigh completely out- shone all the events of that year or any previous year. With our guides, Misses Elizabeth Barker and Essie Mae Outlaw, and Mrs. Roy Gaddy, we tour- ed the city from the state capitol to the state prison. In June we graduated from the eighth gradc. With Martha Hunt and Virginia Tyson, our wisest travelers, speaking for us, we bade farewell to grammar school and arrived at a new station called high school. a; GENET LITTLE Historian So the largest class to enter Wadesboro High School began their ninth mile of ‘travel. We wel- comed the advice of our guides, Misses Frances DeLamar, Evelyn Bullard, and Hope Bailey, Mesdamies Gertrude Wall and Roy Gaddy, and Messrs. J. C. Baucom, John Rawls, Ray Shelton, and Robert Hickman. Some of our classmates served as members of the Student Prints and Hi- Ways staffs and as members of the various clubs and athletic teams. For the first time in the history of the school, a freshman, Kathryn Britt, reigned as queen at the homecoming’ game. We enthusiastically set out on the tenth mile. Mesdames Sara Farmer, Gertrude Wall and Roy Gaddy, Misses Frances DeLamar, Hope Bailey, and Hermine Caraway, and Messrs. Harold Grant, Robert Hickman, David Kephart, and Messrs. Harold Grant, Robert Hickman, David Kephart, and William Todd were our directors. This year was a year of improvement. All the class rooms were painted, the lab and the cafeteria were remodeled, and four new classrooms, which were first used as homerooms by our class, were added. Band and industrial arts, which had been dropped from the curriculum several years previ- ously, were reinstated. We started the eleventh mile with a bang! Under the direction of Misses Hermine Caraway, Hope Bailey, and Frances DeLamar, Mrs. Mildred Johnson, and Messrs. Charles Wyant, Henry Albaugh, Robert Hickman, Harold Grant, and David Kephart, we advanced quickly. The high- light of the year was the junior-senior banquet, and dance. We excelled all previous: classes in magazine sales and were able to finance the junior- senior without presenting a class play. Several of our co-travelers ranked superior in various fields. Claudia Covington, Jessie Ruth Honeycutt, and Bill Blue proved to be our most literary travelers, and thus won the honor of serv- ing as marshals for the graduation of the class of (Continued on page 28) LEFT ALONG THE WAY Britt BLUE Testator Y} jl We, the senior class of 1953, being of weak body and weaker mind and having at last exhaust- ed our teachers’ patience and kindness, do hereby publish for humanity this last will and testament. To Me. Wildermuth, who has struggled so faithfully to lead us through high school, we leave our thanks and highest regard. To Mr. Baucom; our principal, who during these years has kept us on the straight and narrow path, we leave the hope that the class of ’54 will work cooperatively with him. To our homeroom teachers, we leave one giant size box of bicarbonate of soda for we’re sure they’ve had a hard time stomaching us this year. To the other members of the faculty, we be- queath the sincerest thanks for the great amount of knowledge which we have been able to acquire despite the flying chalk and bloodthirsty cries of “Boing.” To the junior class, we leave our much used or rather misused literature books, our high offices around WHS, and finally the highly touted senior privileges if they are able to find them. We could not. To the sophomere class, we leave the prophecy of a wonderful junior-senior in 1954 and all the headaches therewith connected. To the freshman class, we will a sentence of three more years at hard labor in Wadesboro High School. The following seniors, with tears in their eyes, do will and bequeath their prized possessions for the betterment of the individuals to whom the belongings are left and for the welfare of dear ole Wadesboro High. Jimmy Short, our class president, wills his posi- tion to the unfortunate person who acquires it. Bobby Davis and Lula Anne Pope leave their ability to go steady to Johnny Livingston and Glenda Allen. Ruby Anne Brown and Dorothy McLaurin leave their quiet manner to “Kat” Griggs. 24 James Harward, Leroy Kelly and Richard Reynolds leave their love of Shakespearean plays to William Warner, Garrett Meeks, and James Martin. Fred Wood does bequeath his ability to get along with Miss Caraway to Bobby Dabbs. Wiley Teal leaves his muscles to Don McRorie in hopes that Don will use them to earn a first string cherleader position. Joyce Ballard leaves her love of Rockingham to her little sister. Jo Jarrell and Jessie Ruth Odom leave their ability to get out of school to Anne Tice and Frances Eddins. Claudia Covington, Genet Little, and Jessie Ruth Honeycutt leave their good grades to Kirby Hinson. He’ll probably need all of them. Beatrice Caulder does bequeath her majorette uniform to the girl with the necessary qualifica- tions. Mathey Davis, Benton Roper, and “Goose” Robeson do will their positions on the football team to Ernest Brower, Calvin Hooks, and Louis Fogleman. May they fill them well. Freddy Teal and Bobby Clarke leave their goose hunts in freezing weather to anyone who will get up at 5:00 A.M. to take them. Haywood Preslar and Bartley Burch do be- queath their 200 pound frames to James North- cutt and Billy Poplin. Mickey Eddins leaves her ability to read faster than any other senior to Claudelle Bridges. Loretta Helms and Tonie Bowers leave their positions as class officers to anyone so unfortunate as to acquire them. | Betty Jo Chewning, the youngest member of our class, leaves this honor to Larry Smith with the hope that it will spur him to greater things. Jeff Covington and Teddy Wilkinson leave their eighth grade girls to the eighth grade boys. Jimmy Shumaker, Harold Eddins, and Bryant Teal bequeath their good looks to all those hand- some sophomore boys. Jimmy Henry wills his drum major uniform to Kenny Williams with the hope that it fits snugly. Sherrill Ballard and Dawn Lovett refuse to leave their soldier boy friends to anyone. Anne Allen leaves her escapades in Coach Sellari’s class to Emmie Lou Teal. Jane Little leaves her ability to get to school exactly two minutes late to someone who likes to spend 30 minutes each afternoon in detention hall. Herbert Jenkins and Bobby Moore do bequeath (Continued on page 28) THE HIGHWAYS BEYOND The date is April 18, 1972, as I pause to rest beside the highway to Wadesboro, largest city in the Eastern Hemisphere. (Tiring of “riding the rods,” I have taken to “thumbing rides” as my latest mode of transportation.) From my duffle bag I bring out my most cherished possession, a 1953 “Hi-Ways.” J leaf through it and start remembering my old high school classmates. The first picture I see is that of Larry Adcock. Larry and Bartley Burch are now the world’s forc- most builders of boats, yachts, and ships. Their latest is a submarine bomber that flies under- water. Ann Allen, whose picture I see next, is head nurse at Walter Reed Hospital in Washing- ton, D. C. On her staff are Betty Jean Hill, Joyce Shaver, Georgia Kendall, and Sherrill Ballard. Joyce Ballard is society editor of the ““New York Times.” The chief editor of this paper is another of my classmates, Bill “Scoop” Blue, winner of the Nobel Prize for three consecutive years. Tonie Bowers along with Gay and Loretta Helms are hostesses with Freddy Teal’s ‘Trillion Dollar” Airline Fleet. I pick up a “Times” and turn to the theater section. Just as I thought, Ruby Ann Brown and Shirley Kendall are starring in the latest Broadway drama ‘“‘Bewildered Bertha’s Boisterous Brother.” Bea Caulder is currently getting into shape for the 1972 “Olympics” which she won in 1964 and 1968. Betty Jo Chewning is secretary for Bobby “Speedball”? Clarke. Bobby who is considered the world’s greatest driver, has just won the Indian- apolis 500 in his “Gray Dodge Special.” Sally Jo Coley owns one of the World’s fore- most fashion centers. Among her staff of top designers are: Dawn Lovett, Nellie Hill, and Mickey Eddins. As I go down the lines of pictures, I see that of Claudia Covington, who along with Genet Little, provides the greatest one-two punch in Girl’s Hockey. Jeff Covington is the dean of American coaches. His “Cruddy College” team just won their 68th straight Tiddly Winks game. Graham Davis now owns a chain of stores call- ed ‘Davis’ Ducky Dime Stores.” ZOOM! There goes Bobby “Razor” Davis, the great surgeon. He is driving a 50 cylinder ‘Davis Super X” made by the Mathey Davis Automobile Co. Dr. Davis recognizes me and gives me a lift. Now maybe I’ll find out about some of my other classmates. Dr. Davis greets we with ‘““Wha’ say!” “Boing,” I answer, remembering an old expres- sion of our class. 25 Freppy Woop Prophet Richard “World and the He told me that Paul Drye Williams are still starring for Champion, St. Louis Browns.” Harold Eddins, E. J. Privette, and Herbert Jenkins have opened up another “Super Market” in Polkton. Polkton is now the metropolis of 28 states and headquarters for the Harward Trucking Co., owned and operated by James Harward. James’ trucks are naturally serviced by Albert Gaddy’s ‘‘Super Duper Garage,” standard for good garages everywhere. A passing signboard tells me that the Shirley Jarrell Bakeries are now sponsoring the ‘Prone Stranger Show” starring Leonard (3 gun) Honey- cutt and his faithful Indian companion “Pronto,” played by Leroy Kelly. The program originates from the studios of EHURTV, which means, Edwin Hinson Ultrasonic Radio and Television Station. Dr. Davis (Crud) tells me that: Shirley became famous with her recipe for making dough- nut holes without the doughnut. Jane Little and Mary Plyde Marsh are now stars in Hollywood. Mary Plyde is starring as the female lead in the ‘““Ma and Pa Kettle’ series. Her leading man is Bobby “Whip” Moore. As we near the city limits, ‘““Doc” Davis en- lightens me on the interesting bit of information concerning the photographing of the faculty of the huge Wadesboro School system. He tells me that the pictures are to be taken this afternoon and that he is on his way there now to meet Lula Ann Pope, a former lab technician, who is now president of the Red Cross. Upon arrival at the prison, I mean school, I quickly recognize the photographers as Betty Ann Porter and Richard “Flash” Reynolds. I look at their list of people to be photographed during the afternoon and recognize quite a few of my old classmates. The principal is Jimmy Short, respectfully called “BB Brain” by his stu- dent body. (Continued on page 28) EACH MONTH WAS FUN 1. Ruby Ann Brown welcomes Bryant Teal and Betty Porter to WHS. 2.

Jessie Ruth Honeycutt, the best citizen on the journey, received the Citizenship Cup, and Claudia Covington, who won the Woodman of the World’s award for the best average in United States history, was our best historian. At last we reached the ewelfth and final mile of our high school journey. With Messrs. W. L. Wildermuth, Tony Sellari, James Davis, and Harold Grant, Misses Anne Bradford, and Mesdames Mildred Johnson as leaders, and Misses Hermine Caraway and Carrie Sturgis as sponsors, we, the “dignified Seniors” settled down to mak- ing our last mile the most profitable one. In Sep- tember, we held our first class meeting. We elect- ed as class officers: President, Jimmy Short; Vice- President, Dawn Lovett; Secretary, Loretta Helms; and Treasurer, Tonie Bowers. We chose Gwyn Ramey and Larry Zachary for our mascots. Even after this we did not fully realize that we were seniors. It took the thrills of the long-awaited oc- casion of measuring for our caps and gowns to really convince us that this was our last year. Some of the most outstanding travelers are now serving as heads of the publications staffs and the clubs. Bill Blue is editor of the Student Prints and Claudia Covington is editor to the Hi-Ways. Jane Little is president of the Glee. Club and Benton Roper is president of the Spanish Club. Lula Ann Pope was chosen Homecoming Queen. During the twelve long miles of our journey down the educational highway, we have taken on many travelers. Other travelers have turned aside seeking shorter cuts to the journey’s end. Sixty way-worn travelers have weathered the rough spots and detours of the journey. We are now standing at the cross roads, gazing at the sign posts, and wondering which road to take. Some will chose one road, some another. As we part, we bid each other God’s Speed on the journey ahead. LEFT ALONG THE WAY (Continued from page 24) their positions in the glee club to Bradley Tyson and Richard Turner. Gay Helms, Betty Jean Hill, Joyce Shaver, Shirley Kendall, and Georgia Kendall having de- cided to be old maids leave all of their boy friends to Jean Hightower. Ann Webb and Betty Ann Porter do will their seats on the Deep Creek bus to humanity. Richard Williams leaves his old baseball glove and his crooked arm to Tommy Lowe. Use them as well as he did, boy. Sally Jo Coley and Mary Plyde Marsh leave their old bobby pins and empty ‘“‘Toni” tubes to Janet Allen and Joan Moore. Leroy Sanford and Don Trexler leave their quiet elderly ways to little Henry Teal. Paul Drye leaves all the rocks in the outfield over at the athletic field to Jimmy Allen. E. J. Privitte, Larry Adcock, Graham Davis, 28 Albert Gaddy, and George Honeycutt don’t leave nothing to nobody and they don’t hope nobody enjoys nothing. I, Bill Blue, having nothing of any value do hereby sign this senseless dbcument and do leave this tidbit of knowledge for future lovers: “My love of women did avail me nothing at WHS.” Signed, sealed and delivered, The senior class of 1953 THE HIGHWAYS BEYOND (Continued from page 25) Ann Webb is head of the vast ‘““Home Ec’”’ de- partment and Jimmy Henry is master of the musical department. Jimmy’s latest rendition of “Chop Sticks” is Nowmil@onmthems lit) barade:« Dorothy McLaurin is the commercial teacher. Jessie Ruth Odom is a teacher of foreign langu- age. She teaches the language of ‘Lower Slob- bovia,” a very important and useful language. Jessie Ruth Honeycutt excels as a grammar grade teacher. I can see no other familiar faces and so I walk on down to the corner drugstore. It is one of the largest in the world and is owned by the ‘“‘Hadacol King,” Haywood Preslar. Wandering over to the magazine racks and properly ignoring the ‘No Reading” signs I begin to seek more information of my classmates through the various monthlies. Picking up a copy of “Sport,” I see that Dennis “Canvasback” Robeson is retiring from boxing after 15 years as champion of the ‘““wormweight” division. In another magazine, I read that Benton Roper, of the Army, had been promoted to a five star general for his invention of the six foot fox- hole. Jimmy Shumaker is still America’s No. 1 cover boy. Leroy Sanford has published his ‘“‘Theory of Superlativity” and it is currently drawing praise from all the professors of leading colleges and universities throughout the nation. In the “Business” magazine there is an article about two former classmates of mine. It seems that Don Trexler set a world record by typing 1,238 words a minute. The typewriter used was a special electric model designed by Teddy Wilkin- son, the electrical wizard of four continents. In the same magazine I see that Bryant Teal, the agricultural magnate, has purchased another orange grove. It’s called Florida. A hand clamps down on my shoulder and I loop up into the eyes of Lieutenant Wiley Teal, the scourge of the underworld. He shows me the “No Reading” sign and points to the door. I decide I'd better start “moving on” and leave. As I seek another highway to travel, I think back on the day’s events. It seems as if the class of 53 has covered every market, office, and notable position that there is to be had—except the presi- dency. However there was no insanity in our class so that explains absence from that office. How- ever, it’s appropriate that the class of 753 excels in everything, because it’s the best class ever!

There were many things to see and do along this stretch of the road. Some of the points of interest were the thousand dollar magazine sale, the ordering and receiv- ing of class rings, and Junior-Senior. The highway took some of us into sports, club activi- ties, and journalism. One of our fellow travelers was elected Carolinas’ carrousel princess.

The captains of the highway patrol in this territory were Mr. J. M. Davis, Jr. and Mr. J. O. Bowman, Jr. Mr. Bowman took over Mr. Collins’ duties when he was transferred to Wade Mill. We saw two new scenes as we followed this Sophomore Town Street. These scenes were biology and Latin. This part of the highway took us into clubs, athletics, publications, and music. One of our travelers was accompanist for the glee club; another was a cheerleader; and one was a majorette.

The Student Council is composed of two members from each high school homeroom, a president and secretary from the Senior Class, and a vice-president from the Junior Class. The Student Council is operated by its constitution, which was written by the students. Order in the halls and grounds is kept by the council. Besides keeping order and helping the school day run smoothly, the Student Council has outside activities. During Christmas the Council sponsored needy families and sold oranges between classes to raise money for the families. Through the Student Council, democracy is exhibited, for it is an organization of the students, by the students, and for the students. 44 HIGHWAY PUBLICATIONS ‘ if PG ; .

Students traveling along the WHS highway publish a newspaper, The Students Prints, which tells the highlights of the journey each month. Within the last year the newspaper won the following honors in the Columbia and the Southern Interscholastic Press Associations: C.S.P.A. medalist rating, All Columbia in News Stories, first place in typography; S.I.P.A. first place, and the N. C. Scholistic Press award for excellence in editorials. Each year the routes, scenes, activities, and travelers along the highway are pictured in a scenic map called Hi-Ways. Artists, photographers, writers, and financiers who are plodding along the road join in producing this map. Last year Hi-Ways received a first place S.I.P.A. rating. This spring, representatives of Hi-Ways and The Student Prints attended the S.I.P.A. convention at Washington and Lee University on April 10 and 11. At this convention Bill Blue, editor of The StudentPrints, was elected S.I.P.A. president.

WE KEEP THINGS MOVING The Booster Club helps the Highway teams march on to victory. The seven cheerleaders lead the club at all the games and pep meetings. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors are members of the club. For Homecoming, November 7, the club sponsored a dance at the country club for students and alumni, a parade, and alumni classroom parties. After several football games the club gave a party for the opposirrg teams. In the top picture some of the Boosters are on the field ready to decorate the goal posts. In the other’ picture the other Boosters are getting ready to practice a yell with the J.V. cheerleaders. 50 THE BAND MARCHES ON A fifty-five piece band marched down the highway with us. On the way they gave concerts and played for parades. We got a thrill out of the fact that we and the people who carried on business near the highway made it possible for the band to get new uniforms. In order to be sure that there would be another band to march down the highway after the big band had gone, a “Little Band’? com- posed of twenty young travelers was organized.

The highlights of the glee club’s activities included several chapel concerts, participation in the district contest in Salisbury, and a Christmas concert. The Glee Club closes the year by singing for the Baccalaureate service which is held in the First Baptist church. 54 THE ROAD TO SPAIN Ef (GEG as ey Cnpania Some of the travelers decided to travel on the road to Spain, and they became mem- bers of the Spanish Club. Under the direction of their sponsor, Mrs. Bird, the Spanish Club held monthly meetings; entered a third place winning float in the Homecoming Parade; and corresponded with “pen-pals” in the Spanish speaking countries. The club is composed of second-year Spanish students. (Front row, left to right) Mary Plyde Marsh, Jane Little, Jeff Covington; Sponsor, Mrs. Bird (playing piano).

Since alcohol causes so many accidents along the highway, Allied Youth was organized. Mr. Roy Bregg, the executive secretary of A. Y., told us on September 11, 1952, that the purpose of A. Y. was to teach us the facts about alcoholic beverages. Immediately we organized a chapter of Allied Youth.

The Tigers did not have “it” at the start of the game, and White- ville rolled up two first quarter TDs; Whiteville kicked off to Wades- boro and Jimmy Allen ran_ the, ball back to the Tiger 31.

Wadesboro Stalls Laurinburg was the next team on-the schedule and this time Wadesboro was favored. The Tigers’ timing seemed to be off against the Scots due to an open date the week following the Monroe tilt. Things looked bad for Wadesboro most of the night, but they managed to come from behind twice and victimize the} Fighting Scots 19-13. The last two games of the season were two of the best games the Tigers played. Clinton became the fourth vietim of the Tiger | streak. There were three special reasons the Tigers wanted to! © win that game, 1) It was Homecoming and the Tigers wanted to], start another Homecoming winning streak like the one that was ended last year by Lumberton. 2) It was the last home game of the season and 3) the last home game eight of the boys would ever’ play. The Tigers played one of their best defensive games of the season by limiting the offensive-minded Dark Horses to a| single score. The final score was Wadesboro 19, Clinton 7.

In the second quarter, the Tigers, led by Johnny Pivingatont drove to the visitors’ 18 before being stopped on downs.
