Le 1944 Nountaineer The 19 Editor—Charles Way Business Manager—Dwight Beaty WAYHSVILL[ TOWNSHIP HUH SCHOOL WAYNESVILLE. NORTH CAROLINA Haywood County Public LiDiafy Waynesville Seniors, in behalf of the faculty may I express a genuine pleasure in our association with you for the past four years. Our best wishes and continued interest will be with you in what¬ ever field of endeavor you may enter. We of the faculty feel that the class of 1944 is entitled to some distinction. First, you have had more than the usual distractions in staying with the job of completing four years of high school. High wages and the demand for labor have lured many high school boys and girls from the classroom. We commend you for your perseverence. The romantic and patriotic appeal of service with the armed forces has claimed several members of this class; these we proudly hail and pray for a safe and speedy return. We feel that this class is unique in that you have a greater challenge and opportunity to do something worthwhile. To those who will be called up by the armed services there is the challenge to make yourself the best fighters possible but at the same time you will have an opportunity for training and experience which can be of great vocational value. Seldom has a generation of young people had such a wide variety of choice of occupation and at the same time been able to get work most anywhere at any time. We urge you to get into work which you hope to follow for a life time and get some training and experience. We trust that you leave high school as friends of the public schools. Your schools need your continued interest and moral support. Public education asks for your friendly, cooperative criticism and will rely upon your intelligent leadership in whatever business or profession you may choose. Sincerely, 4 LT. (j.g.) JAMES S.

The parting with our friends so dear, And with beloved Waynesville High. We ' ve laid foundations for success. And started toward that cherished goal. We ' re confident we ' ll reach the top. And add our name to honor ' s roll. We wish our friends the best of luck. As they go searching for their fame. We know they ' ll find success ahead. As on the road they just now came. We bow our heads to boys at war. Those jovial fellows we once knew. We wish them luck and safe return From fighting for this land so true.

T. H. S. is holding a reunion on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of its graduation, the scene is Killian ' s Island, a spot made memorable by many field trips and picnics in former years. We stroll around and chat with the men and women whom we recognize as our former classmates. It is interesting to see what each has become since that important night in 1944 when Mr. Bowles handed each one a diploma. Let ' s join that little group over by the creek. They seem to be having quite an enjoyable time as Earl Mash- burn, the new superintendent at Welco Shoe Corporation, discusses business with Robert Gifford, who has bought out the Food Store and is now trying hard to buy out Ray ' s. Boyce Wyatt and Billy Griffin find that they have something in common. Boyce is an All-American softball pitcher, while Billy has finally made the All-American All-Star football team. Louise Martin, as superintendent of nurses at a Navy Hospital, is comparing notes with Mary and Louise Par- ton, who are on duty at Moore General. Maggie Rich and Mary Caldwell are still student nurses at Haywood County Hospital. Listen! Isn ' t that an airplane we hear? Now it ' s swooping low over Killian ' s Island and we see the pilot is none other than Joe Boone. He has finally swapped his school bus for a P-38. Several of our former classmates regret that they .can¬ not be here. Bill McClure and Ray White like Hawaiian skirts too well to leave Hawaii. Rosemary Herman and Thelma Rich, watching the wave ripples go by, are glad to have a day off to have fun. Rosemary has been successful with her Dramatics Club and has given some great plays. Thelma has made herself famous with those hair do ' s. Wading the creek, Beulah Mae Hall and Mildred Milner are heard above their splashing. How successful their careers have been! Beulah Mae is a designer at Belk Hudson and Mildred models for Peabody Clothing Company. Over near the Twin Oaks we hear Oleta Bryson telling Irene Shelton, the pin up girl for the Army, about the publicity she gets by being Judy Canova ' s double. Nan Liner and Gladys Rathbone wander off to the end of the Island to whisper about their happiness. Nan is in the Crabtree section and Gladys lives at Balsam. Both are happily married. Janet Coward, Edward Scates, and Dwight Beaty have gotten together down at the bridge. Janet and Edward have made themselves famous by jitterbugging. Dwight is leading man in Don ' t Get Around Much Anymore . Juanita Mathis, with her beautiful red hair, has taken a great load off Rita Hayworth. Georgia Messer is being patriotic and using her talents by entertaining boys in service. What ' s this? Is that bunch on the opposite bank really having hysterics? No; on coming closer we find that they are just listening to one of the tall tales by the comedienne, Mary E. Cblvard. The two busily at work on easels under the buckeye tree are the commercial artists, Ruth Deitz and Vaughn Pressley. The young man who is talking shop with them is Tommy Long, who earns his living by making soap carvings for the American Museum. Edith Camp and Dorothy Smathers get together for a chat away from the crowd. Dorothy doesn ' t seem to know whether to wear her engagement ring or not. Edith doesn ' t have to worry about an engagement ring—she has become a Nun . Evelyn Craig is still teaching dancing and waiting for Billy Fish who is paying his Uncle Sam a visit. Gathering wood for the fire, Sammy Calhoun and Wick Collins are heard whispering about girls. Sammy just doesn ' t seem to know which he likes better, Phyllis or Evelyn; but Wick doesn ' t seem to be worried. He will just woo Ila Jean Evans. Spreading the lunch are Jewel Messer, Anne Full- bright, and Lois McClure. Lois is sad because it ' s hard waiting for t he fleet to come in. Jewel and Anne cheer her up because they are in the Navy, or .should we say the Waves. Preparing the food is right up Jeanette Crawford ' s alley, since she ' s running a big cafe on the knowledge she gained in the W. T. H. S. lunchroom. Gather around, folks, for the picnic lunch! We pause while Rev. John Gillett, the minister from Long ' s Chapel, asks the blessing. Then everyone dives for sandwiches which Louise Janes has taken time out from working on Roy Arrington ' s farm to prepare. The fried chicken was a contribution from Kathleen Moody ' s chicken farm. Lhat husky admiral choking on too big a bite of hot dog is Barron Clark. Charles Gaddis and Jimmie Keener are sitting under a tree munching sandwiches. They are in deep con¬ versation about Charles ' experience as an ambassador to Germany, and Jimmie listens eagerly because he would like to become Charles ' assistant. Mabel Carswell and Velda Ross clear away the lunch and gossip about what they have been doing. Mabel is doing all right as Swing Shift Mazie up at Smith ' s Drug Store. Inez Finger is getting plenty of practice in shorthand these days, since she is Velda Ross ' private secretary and has to take down those long novels which Velda still writes for service men. As the crowd drifts apart for the parting, Selma Bald¬ win, Christine Underwood, and B. J. Morrow talk of their success. Selma has become the perfect secretary for M. H. Bowles. Christine is the bookkeeper for Under¬ wood Novelties, and B. J. Morrow at last is the champion typist. Billy Burgin is a very good manager of Bur- gin ' s Store. Freddie Sheehan is owner of the Waynes- ville Laundry. This class reunion has been fun, hasn ' t it? It ' s been a big day for us all. Now as the sun is going down behind Eagle ' s Nest we say good-byes to each other and file across the footlog, humming Auld Lang Syne softly to ourselves. 22 jHait Will of iLe CL6i of ’44 Brethern, ye are called together on this solemn and serious occasion in behalf of my client, the senior class of ' 44, to listen to her last will and testament since she has come to the end of her days at Waynesville High. She has set her hand and seal to these words to prevent any scrapping over such things as bottom lockers, icy radiators, or fire alarms in the rain. To the students and teachers and school as a whole she leaves many pleasant and unforgettable memories of classmates pulling together, memories of cold winter days and brighter spring days when she spent the better part of the period getting the teacher off of the subject, memories of our freshmen days and swell chapel pro¬ grams, memories of the top of the world feeling she had when her team won, and last but not least memories of the good fellowship and wholesome fun and happiness we all shared. To the Juniors she leaves her ringside seats in chapel, her seriousness at times and a few boys for the girls and a few girls for the boys. Also her ability to make excuses. To the Sophomores she leaves Bibles to learn new psalms from, over-due library books, jumpy typewriters and any debts she owes in the lunchroom plus a few hard lead pencils with war-time erasers. Billy Davis leaves his cooperative personality and willingness to his namesake Billy Davis. Frances Finger leaves her quiet and winning per¬ sonality to Betty F. Tuttle. Charles Way leaves his way with the teachers and the girls to Bob Leatherwood. Dwight Beaty leaves his flashy clothes to Bill Millar. Edna Patton leaves her lunchroom job to whomever Mrs. Sloan picks to handle it. Elizabeth Hedrick leaves her technique and engage¬ ment rings to Roxie Smith and Vera Wilson. Doris Blalock leaves her seat in Shorthand class to any ambitious Junior or Sophomore, but it is only good for one semester. Kenneth Troutman and Harry Jaynes leaves their foot¬ ball plays to Raymond Phillips and Joe Compton. James Fie, Loffy Scruggs, and Steamer Harris leave the tip off, The uniform gets ' em, to all the boys going up next year. Jesse Rushing leaves four extra inches to be added on the height of Joe Turner or Jeep Norris. Bonnie Howell and Anne Fulbright leave their binocu¬ lars for hunting Mr. Bowles to Mrs. Richeson and Doris Briggs. Jack Allison leaves his job at Charlie ' s to an eligi¬ ble 4-F. Margaret Arrington leaves her jolly good humor to Pody Way. Mildred Carswell and Mildred Price leave their lasting friendship to Hazel Leatherwood and Clara Howell. Marzelle Webb and Oleta Bryson leave their ability to flirt to Ila Jean Evans and Melba Waddell. Wid Wyatt and Noble Wyatt leave their positions in the F.F.A. to Gilbert Hembree and Pink Francis. Wick Collins and A, P. Evans leave their knowledge of how to win games and influence girls to Sody Grahl and Bob Milner. Margaret Scruggs leaves her wise-cracks to Carolyn Burgin. Arthur Smith and Dot Leatherwood leave their land¬ scapes, portraits, and posters to Jane Wyche and Virgil Hoglen. Louise Rollins leaves her good looking clothes and weekends in Asheville to Mildred Stler. Chrystelle Ratc ' liffe and Grace Allen leave their smiles and sweet ways to Betty Jo Noland and Peggy Sue Burgin. Bobby Green and Clyde Roberts leave their out¬ standing behavior and remarkable grades to Henry Clay¬ ton and Don Hyatt. Erwin Burgin leaves his place in J. M. ' s heart to Happy Hudson. Lela Rathbone leaves her sweet disposition to Frances Parton. Bob Francis and Ralph Phillips leave their curly hair to Tom Medford and J. D. Kelly. Fletcher Ferguson leaves his place on the cheer lead¬ ing squad to Zeb Alley. Bob Gibson leaves his leadership and good grades to Claude Ferguson. Gene Howell and Ned Massey leave their red hair and matching personalities to Noble Garrett and Gene Sheehan. Margie Liner leaves her place on the basketball team to Mary Ellen Jones. Ralph Hendrix and Wallace Anders and Oren Coin leave recruiting information about the Navy to all the boys just about eighteen. Billy Howell leaves his bus route to an A pupil in Mrs. Stamey ' s driving class. Owen Hudson and Sam Calhoun leave their bashful¬ ness to Hardy Noland and Hugh Compton. Wilma Cagle leaves that knowing look to any junior who want to ' know . Mary Alice Davis leaves her shorthand notes to Frances Henry. E. J. Owen and Toad Knight leave the information We came, we saw, we conquered (and it wasn ' t Greece) to all next year ' s draftees. Louella Hall leaves her gorgeous hair do Anne Farmer. Walker Chambers leaves his common sense to Bob Phelps. Louis Ensley leaves his poetic mind to be disturbed throughout the English classes. Dot Green leaves the management of the Sub-debs to Tweets Martin. Charlie Hyatt leaves his complete file of permits for tardiness for every morning in the year to Billy Kerley. Mimi Gorsline leaves her trade-secrets on how to keep a sailor true to you to Bebe Medford. Ruth Evans leaves her blond hair to Betsy Siler. Mildred Morrow leaves her string of Army addresses to Elizabeth Davis. She leaves a radio to the Modern Problems class so they can better keep up with the problems. Miss Terrell ' s second year Spanish class leaves its amazing versions of many of the lessons to next year ' s class. The home economics class leaves soundproof ceilings to Mrs. Medford ' s classes. This is the hardest for her to part with—her place in the hearts and thoughts of the teachers. For it is the faculty who has encouraged us and given their interest in all our attempts at success. It is to them she feels really indebted. In witness whereof, the Class of ' 44, has to this will, written on one piece of parchment, set her hand and seal this Fifteenth day of February, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and Forty-four. Louise Martin, Testator. 23 Ladies and Gentlemen: Teachers and Mr. Bowles: There has been an awful lot of pretty talk here to¬ night, a mighty lot of pining over the days of auld lang syne, a heap of sentimentalizing over our happy, care¬ free high school days, and some mighty fine compliments exchanged between members of the Senior Class and the faculty. Before this love feast goes any further I just want to ask you all one question: Are you feeling all right? Or am I the one thats crazy? Is this the same bunch of Seniors who have been griping all year about their so- called Senior privileges? Are these the same teachers who for four long years have growled at us, railed at us, and accused us of putting gray hairs in their heads, lines in their faces, and one of their feet in the grave? You Seniors can sit and smirk at each other and the teachers if you want to, but while I ' m still in my right mind I have a few things to say before I leave dear old W. T. H. S. that I ' ve been waiting to say a long time. First, I don ' t like the grading system at Waynesville High School. Genius isn ' t rewarded, while the ability to memorize unimportant stuff like history and math is. I want to know what Rosemary Herman and Dwight Beaty have that I haven ' t got? In the second place, I feel quite bitter over the fact that I might be a six foot menace to the women like Harry Jaynes if the lunch room at our Alma Mater had not stunted my growth. Who could grow tall and hand¬ some on a steady diet of cabbage and beans? Harry got his growth on the farm before he began eating the lunch room ' s brand of poison. And my mental development has been seriously re¬ tarded by the conditions existing in the library. Time and again I ' ve gone into the library with the firm in¬ tention of having a good, long talk with the librarian about some cultural subject, but I never can find the same library teacher twice. It gives me such a jolt that I can hardly read a funny book. To the faculty I have a word or two to say. (Only my self control keeps me from saying a plenty!) I will forgive, even if I can ' t forget, all you have done to me and my friends. I ' ll overlook those catch questions you gave on quizzes, those assignments that a college pro¬ fessor couldn ' t get, those undeserved F ' s you gave us. But, teachers, you ' ve done us one injustice that I ' ll never get over. It ' s bad enough for you to overwork us, pinch us, rap us over the head with pencils, keep us in, but do you have to tell us day in and day out about your children? Ruby Frances is the queen of the campus at W. C. T. C. and dear little Colvin is working so hard . Now Miles says , Florence Ann this or Florrie that , and Nancy day after day. To say nothing of Virginia, dear Virginia. I feel that I know her better than my own sister. And Mr. Bowles, please, try to get your teachers either married or single in the future; not between. The transforming of Miss Craig into Mrs. Sloan was harder on us than on her. Miss McManus seems to be getting about as bad. And those chapel programs. Did I say programs? Pardon me. Words fail me. And to Mr. Bowles and Mr. Weatherby I have a word to say. (A lot more than the censor will allow.) If you gentlemen don ' t get what is coming to you in this world, you will in the next 1 24 Le 1945 J. D.

May 1944 Dear Class Mates: C. N. Allen Co. So this is it! Our Graduation Day! Four years ago we did not realize that this day of going forth into the battle of life would mean more to us than a picturesque speech; but it really means going forth in the battle for life, for lib¬ erty and for freedom. To our teachers we owe thanks for the foundation they have given us to make good soldiers, both on the battle front and on the home front. Let us make them proud of us.
