HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX Peggy Huntley Ann Lively Editor Business Manager Pat McQuague Benny Baker Assistant Editors Foreword The oak trees in the front of Wadesboro High School have for many years grown with her student; and as the students have changed their activities with the seasons of the years, so have these oak trees changed. We, the members of the annual staff, present this, our 1956 edition of Hi-Ways, in honor of the Seniors. We hope that this book will bring much happiness and pleasure to them, not only now, but in the years to come. As they look back on their high school days, may they cherish the memories of these trees and what they symbolize... classes... activities. . . de- feats . . . and victories. “Tall oaks from little acorns grow.”’ David Everett Table of Contents Medication 2 S AOnunistration and Faculiy= 324 - .. 4-7 SONA So, Semon Gitiss. ee 8-24 Underidssinen . a.) ee 25-40 ACTIVITIES Oe Pe 41-56 Witch 7 at See 57-72 Spring. ee ee ee as 73-80 Advertisements 81-98 ” MR.

And as we leave it breaks our hearts. When other nights and other days We will have these moments to remember. May find us gone our separate ways, The quiet rooms, the noisy halls, We will have these moments to remember. Those ole’ school days were fun for all. On this, the day we have to leave, They are special moments to remember. Our goal at last we have achieved. Tho’ winter turns to summer, It will be a moment to remember. And the present disappears, They will all be moments to remember. The laughter we were glad to share MOTTO We cannot live on past glory alone; We must strive and march onward.

Many pleasant memories still come to us as we think of the years we have spent in school. Our minds go back to September, 1945, when we began our first year of school. My! How anxious we were to get to school that morning. We felt as though the most important thing in our young lives was about to take place. Here, we met our teach- ers, the ones under whose careful guidance and instructions we would receive our first taste of learning. 4 A year passed, and this time we were getting ready for an- other milestone in our lives. This was the second grade, and we began to learn more about reading and arithmetic. Weren't we proud when we no longer had to print, but could write our names just like Mommy and Daddy wrote theirs! MARGARET EDWARDS Class Historian Another year, and we were facing our third grade in school. Here we were introduced to geography. Were we thrilled at the thought of taking up that brand new subject! Fourth grade, and we realized that soon we would be leaving the old school building where we had spent four enjoyable years. Next came our big year. We were going to be with the “‘big’’ boys and girls! Weren't we excited as we Stood in front of the High School building and waited to be admitted? We’ll never forget that day. The following year we went on to the sixth grade. Those history and geography tests still haunt our memory. Seventh grade. This year was a big one for us. Everyone remembers the Puppet Show, “‘King Ar- thur and His Knights,’’ that we gave. Some of us were lucky enough to serve as marshals for the eighth grade commencement. We'll never forget our eighth year. This was the end of our grammar grade life, and the begin- ning of our most enjoyable years of school. . . the last ones. Our trip to Raleigh highlighted our eighth grade year. We still remember the good times we had rehearsing for commencement. Poor Mrs. Roper! | can still hear her pleading with us to pay strict attention to her instructions, lest we ruin our gradua- tion by some careless mistake. But everything turned out fine, and as we received our certificates, we realized that this was another milestone. High School would come next. Our Freshman year! We really felt ‘“grown up’ changing classes, but all of this ended in a few days, when the upper classmen began to call us ‘lowly Freshmen.” It was hard to adjust ourselves to high school life. Everything seemed to end in utter confusion, but somehow we lived through it. Then we went into our Sophomore year. We would no longer be looked upon as “‘lowly.’’ We had worked hard for a year and had “earned” our place in High School. Now, we felt a sense of belonging, and fitting in with the crowd. Soon we were Juniors. Eleven years of school . . . and this was the year that most of us got our first taste of foreign language. Our Junior-Senior Banquet was a big event for us. Didn’t we have fun decorating the gym and cutting classes to make sure everything would be ready on that big night? Our last and best year has arrived. Now we are Seniors, the oldest members of Wadesboro High School, and looked upon by everyone with a great deal of respect. We even have certain privileges, such as being the last to enter chapel and the first to leave on Assembly Day. (Just had to mention this privilege because it’s the only one we have.) This year, one of our classmates, Miss Carolyn Carter, went to Charlotte as Carrousel Princess for the second time. We were really proud of Carolyn when it was announced that she will reign as Queen Carrousel X next year. Under the leadership of our capable class officers and our dear Miss Sturgis, we were guided through our Senior year . . . the most wonderful year yet. As the years pass, many will forget the class of ‘56, as others have been forgotten. Perhaps we are not the greatest Senior Class of Wadesboro High School, but this has been a wonderful year for _all of us, and others may forget the good times we’ve had, but as we go out into the world to face the future, we shall always remember the class of ‘56, and shall strive to contribute something worth- while to our most memorable year of all... our Senior year. - 24 JUNIOR CLASS Vv a om oo — ee Bad - -— a s s 3 2 CLASS OFFICERS Left to Right: Jimmy Webb, President; Buck Kitchin, Treasurer; Anita Hamer, Secretary; and Brent Mudd, Vice-President. Filled with enthusiasm and zeal, the Junior Class began the year by selling more magazine subscriptions than any other previous class. The total sales amounted to $1,600.57 with Betsy Kiker high salesman. The ordering and receiving of class rings and the planning for Junior-Senior were exciting events which highlighted the year. ‘‘Missy’’ Allen and Hazel Horne performed as cheerleaders while Mary Eva Harkey served as a majorette and sponsor for homecoming. Several other members of the class participated in foot- ball, baseball, and basketball games and still others were members of va- rious clubs. With Mr. Merritt Robinson and Miss Patsy Harmon as sponsors, the class enjoyed a year of work and fun. 26 JUNIORS ‘Missy’ Allen Benjy Brasington Libby Buff Pat Burns Grady Carter Jack Chewning Ann Covington Eleanor Grace Currie Lynwood Drye Margaret Eddins Barbara Faulkner Jean Faulkner V.

Under the leadership of Mr. J. O. Bowman, Jr. and Mr. J. M. Davis, Jr., the students were always busy in many different activities.

FOOTBALL The graduation of 13 seniors in ‘55 left the ‘55 football team little hope for a strong contender in the AA Conference. Three experienced men return- ed and took over as co-captains. The offense of the team clicked as if it were a co-ordinated machine; but the defense was eleven boys, each depending on the other to stop the opposing players. The Clinton game will be w ell remembered as the finest showing of teamwork and desire. Al- though the Tigers were defeated 28-14, the cham- pionship Clinton players praised the game as the finest showing of opposition during the season. The season ended with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE W.H.S. Fh hy Sale OR ne, ee Whiteville 0 WIND UALS os TO Baca | Ais cane ae Rockingham 24 VV eite Sen.

TIGER SPECIAL Wadesboro Hig h School’s Student Bus HOW WE GOT THE BUS Under the direction of Mr. J. Ray Shelton, a campaign was begun last spring to buy an activity bus for W.H.S. The drive was launched by a chapel program presented by the male members of the high school faculty on ‘’Bus Day.’’ At the close of the program, Freddie Burney, president of the Senior Class of 1955, presented a check to Mr. Shelton for $300. This contribution was the first to be made and along with other donations from various clubs and from the student body, the total was raised to $500 by the end of the school year. During the summer, ten interested citizens and Mr. Shelton signed a note at the First National Bank for $1500. This enabled Mr. Shelton and Mr. Fritz Mills to go to Charlotte and buy a former Queen City Bus for $2,000, thus having it available when school opened in Septem- ber. With the help of the Jaycees, Woodmen of the World, American Legion, and Civitan Club who either contributed money or services toward raising money, the drive was completed before Christmas. The bus has been primarily used for athletic purposes, but it has also been available for other student activities, such as transporting the Band, Explorer Scouts, and F.H.A. Club. Faculty members present pro- gram to raise money for bus. AG CHEERLEADERS Yeah, Tigers! .. . Yes, there are the cheerleaders giving us a sample of one of their yells. Led by Carolyn Carter, they performed at all pep rallies, football and basketball games. They also sold football season tickets and served at the football banquet. Among their many duties were decorating the goal posts for home games and raising money for the student bus, but their real joy was spurring the team on to victory. Cheerleaders discuss new yells with their mascot. First Row, left to right: Harlene Howell, Carolyn Carter, Chief; and Hazel Horne.

It be- gan the year by attending pre-school practices. Dur- ing football season, there were pep rallies to play for and football half-time s hows to prepare. In No- vember, a new band room was installed in the old elementary building which provided more space. At Christmas, the annual concert was given for the P.T.A. Several trips were made to parades and the band participated in the District Band Contest which was held in April at Salisbury, North Caro- lina. The year was brought to a close with a tradi- tional banquet. Mr. Harry Lenhoff, Band Director, discusses new plans with Virgil Stroud, Drum Major. 61 The Beta Club is an orga- nization in which the mem- bers are selected on the basis of scholarship, character, and leadership.
