And amidst those green hills in that valley of gold, Shall our praises to her ever rise. Till the mountains and hill-sides her honors set forth And re-echo her name to the skies. Chorus: Then hurrah for our colors, our flag and our school. Hurrah for our classmates so dear. Hurrah for our teachers so kind and so true. For the Board of Trustees give a cheer.

JEAN WEATHERBY Oh, here’s to you, dear Waynesville High, The time we part is drawing nigh, You’ve guided us through four short years. Known all our troubles, joys, and fears.

We’ll miss the fellowship and fun, ' The mutual thoughts that made us one, ' The laughter, sports, and classmates too, .4nd all our teachers, tried and true. Oh, yes, we’ll miss them, miss them so. As from their loving care we go. U e have a job, and that’s to build .4 better world in zvhich to live. Oh, may we build it strong and firm. And strive, in living life’s short term, ' To serve, while treading on earth’s sod Our school, our country, and our God. —Margaret James TOM MEDFORD President FRANK MORRISON Vice-President BARBARA HALE Secretary VIRGINIA FRANCIS Treasurer CL emor 266 icer6 JANET ABEL Glamorous, sweet, subtle.

Perchance I may see my cell¬ mates of “ole ’47” who suffered, laughed, and moaned with me in that wonderful year . . . The crystal is clear today, the weather permit¬ ting; and, as I concentratedly gaze into its swirl¬ ing image, I see dear old Theresa plugging away at the ivories while an enchanted audience gazes raptly . . . The scene is gradually changing, and I see Ned Burress hoeing corn and giving instruc¬ tions to his helpers on what must be—it is, a hundred acre farm . . . now I see, but not with surprise, Betty Boyd leading a very lively little —tot from a drug store—“Come, Jr., we must beat Daddy home” . . . Ah me, the thrill of seeing again one’s associates of long ago . . . I see a lovely young model gracefully posed, while a photographer snaps her for Madernoiselle magazine—Janet has come a long way. And now as the scene shifts a young lawyer dictates rapidly to his secretary, Mary Jane Swayngim—The tall young man with bulging muscles and towering strength looks familiar to me and yet—yes, it’s Wally Brown ... I look with admiration upon Almarie Buchanan who is now manager and co-owner of Smith’s Drug Store. Barbara Hale is teaching American His¬ tory at Brevard High—she seems to be telling her students to get rid of their gum—dear me . . . Tall Dr. Hardin walks briskly from his office door—Alas! Bob has cut off his curls! Seems Peggy Dock is still writing those beautiful poems —Bravo! . . . Frank Rickman’s still a freshman at State . . . Petite Polly Tipton is an airline stewardess now and she still has her gay smile. . . . Ha! I see Cecil Fore gritting his teeth as he doggedly tries to pull a stubborn tooth from the mouth of a 12 year old . . . and now, attired in tux and splendid togs, I see Buddy Wilson leading his now famous band and broadcasting from the Hotel Pennsylvania . . . These scenes which I see as the swirling mist of the crystal ball intermittently changes, stir in my heart memories of things past and time gone . . . and I remember each classmate as if it were only yesterday . . . Again I gaze deep . . . Nellie Muse has a dress shop now ... Yet, she’s still sewing . . . Marion Ellis Howell is busy washing dishes while her youngest daughter plays with her doll ... In a downtown office building in New York I see Betty Leatherwood, Jacquelyn Morgan and Sarah Setzer all occupy¬ ing secretarial places. Charles Frady and Pink Francis are in the truck farming business; onions seem to be their favorite seller . . . Jean Hyatt is still teaching music . . . Bob Milner is a prominent dealer in real estate, but well I remember how he played football . . . The scene keeps changing . . . Robert Russell, an essential electric engineer, has full charge of the Carolina Power and Li t Co. where he started working on Saturdays many years ago . . . Mark Carswell, co-owner of Carswell-Stovall Wholesale, still has his smile and broad shoulders . . . Anna Jean Davis, the artist of our Senior Class, is a flourishing occupational therapist, her childhood dream . . . and now with dreaming eyes I see Aaron Hyatt leading the band of the land from The Platform of Station RBX . . . And Betty Parris buys a lollipop for Hugh Constance, Jr., while the little tot toddles along . . . Hilda Dotson still has her pretty blonde hair; and, as she competently occupies her place as a labora¬ tory technician, I note her features: She still has her sweet expression ... I see in the window of a leading book store the latest of Dot Miller’s best sellers—how that girl can write! . . . Richard Underwood is chief operator at his Sinclair Sta¬ tion now, but often he rests in the shade . . . Slick Scates is using her “lil ol” feet to get her about in her streamlined beauty shop . . . Sidney Rudisal zooms over a farmhouse in his Piper Cub . . . Ha! Joyce Reams is trying to get Bill out of bed, but in vain; he’s holding to the bed-post—I suppose they’ll observe their silver wedding anniversary in a not-too-long time . . . Joe Morrow, an exclusive architect, stands tall and slender as he draws a plan on a chart . . . D’att Smathers is sweetly saying “Number Please” at the Grand Central Station Switch¬ board . . . These things are as a dream to my fascinated eye . . . Bill Richeson, industrial en¬ gineer, has charge of the Tamnery where he worked in the summer years ago . . . Joyce Moody obviously has taken Mrs. Sloan’s place in the Commercial department of W. T. H. S. . . . how time changes things . . . Jane McCracken drives a huge limousine ma¬ jestically down the street, a present from her fourth husband . . . Dorothy Hembree walks briskly along, cautioning her red-headed triplets to stay out of the street . . . Harriet Atkinson, it ’pears to me, has married a millionaire and is living in a 300-room house . . . Ahh! me, Fannie Kate Browning is married and seems to be living cozily in Hazelwood ... as for my old cellmate Joe Christopher, he’s saying all kinds of bad words as he dutifully repairs a car . . . Lawrence Davis has a farm and is trying hard to raise prize cows . . . And now I see with proud eyes Jean Eavenson, Louise Fulbright, Mary Ruth Size¬ more, typing briskly in the offices of Frank Sinatra, swooning as they answer his fan mail . . . Wayne Edwards has an apple orchard now and I see him drinking cideh in the shade of an old apple tree . . . glamourous Betty Jo Brown has just divorced her third husband and seems to be leading another one on . . . Billie Sue Francis is still wearing the neatest clothes in town and smiling sweetly . . . Dear me! How things have changed! James Hollingsworth has taken Roy Acuff’s place on station KOL . . . Looks like Martha Jean Harris will never learn chemistry; she’s still trying to get out of college . . . Mildred Smathers is teaching Kenneth, Jr., to say Daddy . . . Delores Hollyfield has charge of Dr. Smathers’ office these days—ain’t it awful to be intelligent? . . . Betty Howell is happily married . . . Bennie Lee Walker is a trim 120 pounds and is sporting the best looking clothes in town . . . James Turner is selling cars and is driving a stream¬ lined one himself . . . And now the crystal ball is becoming a swirl of murky mist, until gradually the glimpses I have seen are but a fog of memory; and yet, the days of ol’ 47 will appear to my weary mind time and time and again—thru the years.

B. Miller Fred Moore Billy Pearson Raymond Phillips Jack Ramey Frank Rickman Charles Robinson Howell Robinson Walter Wyatt Joe Milner Joe Swayngim James Nicholas As the fall term of 1946 opened at W. T. H. S. the halls were cluttered with our returning service¬ men. As time went on the lunch room became the chow hall, the floors became decks, the teachers became top sergeants. All kidding aside boys, we are glad to have you back. As we prepare to go out from Waynesville High School after our four years of pleasure, work, and companionship, we leave this last Will and Testament as our contribution to the stu¬ dents, Mr. Haney, and the members of the faculty of Waynesville High. I. To the students, present, and future, of W. T. H. S., we leave the hope that soon there will be a new “suite” of buildings, including one for the Music Department alone. Also, we leave our aspiration for a new and far better cafeteria—and a bottle of A, B, C, D, and G vitamin pills to suffice for the deficiency in the meantime. For the Juniors we leave behind plenty of “spirits” (school spirits, that is!) to be kept un¬ corked—and we trust that they will hold our Alma Mater in as high esteem as we do, and that it will mean as much to them as it does to us. We leave nothing further to any one group of students—all the locker rats have been fed—the icy radiators have been warmed—considerably, II. Since Every House Needs Westinghouse”, we’ll leave it to Westinghouse to invent a vacuum cleaner suitable for cleaning our school house— Will that do, Mr. Haney? III.

Pink Francis leaves his “batty” logarithms book to Bob York. John D. Caldwell leaves his ability in Spanish to Howard Liner.

Margaret James leaves her sonnets and rhymes to Elsie Glavich. Darwin Jordan and Robert Russell leave the movie projector to Carol Underwood and Lowry Gaddy. Joe Kelley leaves his sweet pei ' sonality to Joe Love. Alice Whisenhunt leaves that good-looking suntan she had to Mary Sue Moody. Betty McClure leaves her destructive qualities —tearing the backs off Chemistry Books—to any¬ body that likes to hear that soothing sound. Richard Underwood leaves his twin-guns and holster to “Hoot Gibson”—quote, “Don’t shoot”— unquote. Buddy Morrison leaves his brilliant mind to Tommy Curtis. Joel Arrington leaves his accuracy in typing to Archie Early. Mary Jane Swayngim leaves that bobby-pin under the desk in Miss Wright’s room to Alice Marie Burgin.

Beulah Mae Mauney leaves her artistic instinct to Helen Caldwell. Jacquelyn Morgan leaves that “age of inno¬ cence” look to Mary Jean West. Thurman McCracken leaves his bus route to some “early riser”—he wants it well done though. Hugh Caldwell leaves his position as tackle to Bill Owen. Ray Rogers leaves his orations and originality as a family heirloom to little brother Mark . . . “Sink or swim—live or die—” Dorothy Miller leaves those good English themes, the only kind she writes, incidentally, to be evenly distributed among the members of the Junior Class. J. B. Miller leaves a great big yell for one of the gentlemen cheerleaders next year. George Ray leaves his poetic qualities to A1 Ethridge. ■Vernice Hoyle leaves her route to the class¬ rooms to one of next year’s office girls. Allen Hyatt leaves his black curly hair to Bill Reams. Mary Ellen Jones leaves her quiet and reserved manner to Edna Callahan. Winfred Liner leaves his mathematical genius to Mrs. Kellett to give to some deserving person. Jacquelyn McCracken leaves her accuracy in typing to the struggling Juanita Jaynes, Jackie Sue Messer leaves her oratorical ability to Thomasine Fisher, Brooks Medford leaves that “special way to interrupt a class” to anybody that can get away with it. Tom Medford leaves his All-State position to Edgar Robinson—which we are all sure will be well filled. Mildred Muse and Mildred Smathers leave the corner seat in Bible Class to some girl who can walk the “straight and narrow path”. Doris Jean Palmer leaves it to Geneva to keep up the traditions of the Palmer family. Betty Ramey leaves her capacity for always getting a man with a Ford to all of the less for¬ tunate creatures.

As we spent our time and efforts on the annual while it was in the process of being made, we had one thing to work for, and we hope it has been accomplished. We have tried to give you an annual that you will be proud of not only tomorrow and then put in the back of some dusty corner, but a book which you will be proud of years upon years from now, one which you will be proud to show your children and your friends, a book that will never let you forget your school, your teachers, and your classmates. I would like to take the opportunity here to thank my classmates for giving me the opportunity of working on this annual. I shall be eternally grateful. I would also like to thank the entire Staff for the time and help they put into the annual. I especially thank Mr. Bowles for his wonderful cooperation; Miss Terrell, who was always willing to help and advise at any time and in any way she could; Mr. Searle, the printer, whose suggestions in the printing and designing, added so much; and our advertising manager, Cecil Fore, and his assistants, whose job it was to raise the biggest part of the money for the annual. Once again, I thank you.

Our first and present Art Department was organized under the direction of Mrs. Inez Cloud Brooks in the fall of 1943. The department consists of two front rooms upstairs in the High School Building. Both rooms are used as a workshop. Art is required of as many Junior High School pupils as may be accommodated, and it is an elective in High School.

In first year shorthand there are twenty-five students enrolled and ten are continuing with second year shorthand; ninety are enrolled in typing, around one-third of them being second year pupils, and in bookkeeping there are twenty students.

It is the sound of the home economics girls as they busy themselves with making clothes they copied from Vogue or whipping up a new French dessert. These girls always are looking toward the future. There were 189 girls enrolled in home economics in the 46-47 term alone. In the shop, under the direction of Mr. O. R. Corwin, the boys of W.T.H.S. are showing their ability for industrial workmanship. There are forty-five boys enrolled in this department. They are doing such things as welding, blacksmithing, wood-working, and upholstering. In the past year they have received three new pieces of machinery, one from the Army and one from the Navy. Even Uncle Sam is trying to help these boys to use their hands to their best ability.

Boys’ Declamation Contest was held on February 22, 1909, celebrating Washing¬ ton’s birthday. The purpose of the contest is to interest young men in public speaking and famous patriotic men. A gold medal, designed by a National D. A. R. Committee, is first prize; a second prize of a silver dollar has been given since the twenty-fifth anniversary. This is the 39th year of the an¬ nual contest. m Oman 6 For a good many years, the Waynesville Woman’s Club has sponsored a reading contest for girls in the grades nine through twelve. The contest takes place in the Spring, and is one of the outstanding events in our school year. The contestants give readings of their own choice, either prose or poetry, the only barring rule being that the piece must be a literary selection.

A gold medal is presented to the winner and usually a small cash award is given to the second place. This contest is held in commemoration of the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. It is an educational feature. The U. D.

For the first time in her history, in 1946, Waynesville High School had no graduating class—figura¬ tively speaking. Due to the change in North Carolina’s school system, from a three-year program to one of four years, we had only five graduates—all girls. These five girls chose to take extra work and finish in their proper time, so they left Waynesville High a year ahead of us. Even though there were just five of them, they deserve as much recognition and credit as if they had gone the other year. Just a reminder that 1946 wasn’t lost completely—we played football, basketball, had declamation contests, a fashion show, and as much student activity as ever. Let’s not forget that year—or any other at our Alma Mater. 1946 tvidents LAWRENCE ROBINSON President of 1946 Class LENORD MESSER Vice President of 1946 Class JACKIE SUE MESSER 1946 Winner of Woman’s Club Speaking Contest FRANK MORRISON Secretary and Treasurer of 1946 Class AARON HYATT 1946 Winner of D.
