Waynesville High School - Mountaineer Yearbook (Waynesville, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1949 volume:

The time is swiftly drawmg nigh, To bid good-bye to Waynesville high, As years go by and decades pass, I know the seniors of this class Will long recall the days gone by. And sing their praise to Waynesville High. We will remember, all our life. The hours we’ve spent in endless strife In class rooms zuith our teachers dear, Who have been faithful every year. They’ve tried their best; they’ve done their part; Yes, they have helped us from the start. Oh, yes we’ll miss our friends so true, Wh o’ve been so kind when we were blue. They’ve shared each sorrow, joy, and tear. And tried their best to bring us cheer; So, now, we thank them for their aid And hope some day they’ll be repaid. And now ’tis time for us to say, “We thank thee, God, for this glad day. When we go out to battle strife. That waits for us in this short life. And during which zve’ll do our part To make our country glad of heart.” —James Roy Moody ma In a rose-tinted valley encircled by hills, Resting deep in a land that is blest, Where-the warm golden sunlight brings concord and peace Lies the school that our hearts all love best. 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. 3 . 194 9 Editor-in-Chief—Tommy Curtis Business Manager—Bob Harry Assistant Editor—Patsy Rogers WAYNESVILLE TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WAYNESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA Haywood County Public Lilirary Waynesville ' C PAPCR BOWL®‘‘e HE 1948 Waynesville Football Team was one of the best the school has produced. It was a symbol of teamwork, inspired performance, excellent lead¬ ership, and unconquerable spirit. The team loved to win but could take defeat. Good sportsmanship, good football, and the willingness of each individual to give his very best made it a team to be remembered with pride and satisfaction. To these fine examples of American Manhood, the in¬ dividual members of the 1948 football team, we dedicate the 1949 Mountaineer. ADMIKISTR IOK MR. M. H. BOWLES District Principal MR. C. E.

I. To the teachers: Teachers, we leave with you our grateful thanks and appreciation for guiding us during our four long years on the straight and narrow path, although the going was rough at times. We thank you for trying to instill in us the desire for a full and useful future. But, most of all, we thank you for showing kindness and considera¬ tion for us at our most trying times. H. To the students: Students, we leave with you our unforgettable memories and joys of sharing the fun of going to school, of yelling our heads off when “our” team got ahead; and, with you we leave the privilege of feeling “on top of the world” when that WTHS Band sounds off or one of our scholars gets top honors. HI. To the juniors: Junoirs, with our kindest regards, please ac¬ cept and treat with reverence, our two most prized possessions, our ringside seats in chapel and Charlie Howell, along with any others who feel that they will benefit by appearing within these portals for another year. IV. To Mr. Haney: We would like to give to Mr. Haney an extra box of pencils for exam days and a whole pocket full of change for early morning customers. Mary Nell Bryson and Sammy Wiggins leave their four-years’ romance to Bill Martin Boone and Clara Schuler. Tommy Gibson leaves his love for dissecting cats to any doctor-minded physiology student of next year. Our senior lunch room assistants leave their jobs to any juniors who think they would enjoy standing up that long. Patsy Rogers leaves her gum-chewing (not in typing) to Anna Kate Head. Wayne Caldwell and Mae Wyatt leave their sincere ways to Donald Corwin and Frances Hoyle. Philip Camp l eaves his curly hair to Gene Yarborough. (Get a Toni, Gene.) Betty Caldwell and Stella Bradley leave their everlasting friendship to Aileen Fulbright and Phyllis Smathers. Mary Jean West leaves her wise-cracking to Kathleen Calhoun. Peggy Noland leaves that wonderful ward¬ robe of snazzy clothes to Nancy Floyd. Vivian Davis, Ruby Haskett, and Barbara Curtis leave their senior weddings to some who will perhaps do the same next year. Dot Norris leaves her sweet personality and winning ways to Kathryn Hyatt. Mary Frazier leaves her “littleness” to Patsy Green. Fred Calhoun leaves those wonderful solos to Donald Matney. Anna Jean Crocker leaves her ability for writing winning themes to any Junior who will try hard enough. Jim Swanger leaves his beautiful blond hair to Donny Leatherwood. Barbara Milner leaves her typing ability to the struggling Edna Callahan. Roland Houser leaves his reckless driving to Frank Jam es. Joe Michal leaves his trigonometry ability to Jimmy Whitman. Billie Bradley leaves her Bible “tricks” to some student in next year’s class. Winston Ensley leaves Charlie Womack the privilege of carrying on WTHS football tradition. James Roy Moody leaves his poetic mind to Donald Whisenhunt. Thomasene Fisher leaves her ambition for a nursing career to Mary Osborne. Tommy Curtis leaves his ability to skip class and get by with it to the editor of next year’s annual. The basketball girls in the Senior Class leave a mirror to the classes of the next years. Fay Buchanan and Dot Hoglen leave their artistic ability to Viola Mae Taylor and Duane Oliver. Mary Ann Massie leaves her place at the piano to Jimmy Galloway. Mozelle Liner leaves her red hair to Rose Womack. Allen Hart leaves her studious ways to Elaine Francis. David P rice leaves George Garrett in good hands—namely, Joan Morris and Vivian Watkins. Just to keep them in the family, Edwin Ter¬ rell leaves his dimples and blushing smile to John. Bess Francis leaves her ability to get that “rebound” to Mary Jo Grasty. Bob Harry leaves his love for Spanish (and the teacher) to one of next year’s “good” juniors. Betty Duncan leaves Bobby Owen. Please take care of him, won’t you, junior girls? Rufus Liner leaves Gene to carry on the Liner name in WTHS basketball. And so, we the testators, representing this class of ’49, with hopes that you will profit by our mistakes and benefit by these gifts, set our hand and seal to this Last Will and Testament on this the thirty-first day of January, one thous¬ and nine hundred and forty-nine, A. D. Bess Francis Alwayne McClure Fellow Classmates, Teachers, and Others: When I began to write this prophecy I was up in the air. Who was I, a mere Senior with no special virtues, to prophesy the future of such an honorable and magnificent class. So I sat me down to think on what I should do. Then I got an idea. Why not make use of my three years of science? What governs our future? The stars or planets, of course. Perhaps, if I got in contact with the chief planet. Mars, I could get their views on our future. But, how could I commu¬ nicate to my aid? Well, with the help of Mrs. Stamey, we concocted a complicated apparatus and got into communication with said Mars. The first signal we got over the receiver was a strange voice vibrating in an unfamiliar suc- cesion of sounds. “Operator. Number please.” Then the following conversation took place: “Gimme Mars, 1959, station to station.” In about three minutes the frequency modu¬ lated. “1959. Mars speaking.” ““Hello, Mort; this is 1949; Earth speaking. How about some advance information on Waynesville High’s graduating class?” “Of course, old boy. That creature you call “Pete” Winchester has a dude ranch in Montana. Those chaps, Tom Hartsell and Bob Griffin, are stock brokers at Wall Street in New York. “What will happen to those students who plan to study medicine?” “Why, Tom Gibson is teaching medicine at Wake Forest; and, your other accomplished phy¬ sician, Jim Swanger, is a brain surgeon. Oh, yes! Alwayne McClure is teaching a course in Nursing and Its Advantages, at Georgetown University, and Thomasene Fisher is a Red Cross Nurse in Alaska. Doris Sutton and Mary Frances Sorrells are at Duke Hospital assisting a famous surgeon.” “What will happen to our star athletes?” “Howard Liner, Winston Ensley, Bill Owen, and Dave Price are playing professional football. Bebe Liner and Wayne Caldwell are All-Ameri¬ cans on Kentucky’s basketball team.” “Well, Mars, give me some dope on Mary Ann Massie. She achieved fame at dear old W. H. S. with her music.” “Mary Ann is on a concert tour of Europe. She and her manager, Patsy Rogers, have met vith astounding success.” “Now, what about Dot Norris and Mary Jean West? They were good friends in the old school days.” “Dot is a career girl, and Mary Jean is plan¬ ning to write a book on Aviation and Men when she returns from her round the world flight.” “What will happen to my good friends, Jack Kelley and Fred Calhoun?” “Jack is producing pictures. His latest, ’’Lucky Irish”, stars Fred Calhoun and Mary Nell Bryson; it’s directed by a friend of Mary Nell’s, Sam Wiggins. Incidentally, Edwin Mc¬ Clure is making pictures for Paramount, while Betty Davis and Louise Russell have contracts with Warner Bros.” “How is the political scene in 1959?” “Benjamin Latimer is the governor of North Carolina and Doice McClure is Lt. Governor. Mae Wyatt is the governor’s secretary, while Barbara Milner is handling the business at the Capitol. Bob Evans is the new Commissioner of Agriculture. Lee Finger is serving another term as County Agent. His assistant, Paul Buff, has given him a lot of help. Marshall Caldwell has been designated as one of the Secret Service men to guard the President. And last, but not least. Gene Mitchell is the new mayor of Frog Level.” “Bill Wright has returned from Washington, where he has been conferring with the Secre¬ tary of Agriculture, Edwin Terrell. Waynesville is trying to make Bell Telephone put in the dial system. The chief operator, Ruth Shelton, has been monopolizing the switchboard. Ralph Grasty is a lieutenant in the National Guard. Medford Noland is the State Highway Commissioner.” “Mars, how is the business world affected by our class?” “Business is dependnig entirely on Carol Un¬ derwood’s advice. Bill Henry’s night club is the talk of Manhattan and Bill is one of New York’s most prominent bachelors. Mozell Liner is doing very well with her school of majorettes in Ra¬ leigh. James Roy Moody is very interested in the school. Philip Camp is publishing a Western magazine. Julius Riggins and Farrell Sutton own and operate a television broadcasting com¬ pany. Joy Wyatt and Bonnie Jean Smathers are running the Piedmont Hotel. Anna Jean Crock¬ er and Betty Poe have founded the first school of beauty in Waynesville. Joe Fortner is man¬ ager of the Southern Division of the Great At¬ lantic and Pacific Tea Company. Louise Bryson owns a chain of drug stores. Her accounting is taken care of by Boyce Brock. The used car business has been very profitable for Arthur Mehaffey. Vivian Davis, Mary Alice Rathbone, and Stella Bradley have positions in the Secre¬ tariat of the United Nations. Eugene Breece, James Bell, Bennie Joe Craig, and Oliver D. Early have combined their efforts and operate garages all over the United States. DuPont has recently hired two engineers: Charles Ray Howell—In¬ dustrial, Amon Lee Swanger—Chemical. How¬ ard Mehaffey is one of Ford’s best test drivers. They gotta hold up! Wayne Lyle is manufactur¬ ing a combined car and airplane. Geneva Palmer and Opal Setzer are running an employment agency, while Fay Buchanan and Billie Bradley have opened a cartoon-ad service in New York. So, you see, a majority of the class is in business.” “You just ain’t kiddin’. Mars, old boy. But say, haven’t any members of our class been join¬ ed in the bonds of matrimony?” “Oh, yes. Emilj ' McCracken is married and is living in a little place called Nineveh. Bar¬ bara Curtis has settled down with her husband and has three children. Bill Blalock is married and has a clothing store in Hazelwood. Ruby Haskett and Peggy Ensley are planning their wedding anniversaries and Jeanette Leopard is trying to teach little Richard not to suck his thumb. The new superintendent of nurses at the Haywood County Hospital, Betty Jo Grant, has four little girls. Poor Bill! Mary Frazier is a retired actress and looking for her fourth hus¬ band. Betty Duncan is waiting patiently for (Continued in Advertising Section) 8 Cumi Baldwin Jimmy Brendle Mary Brendle William Buchanan Fred Buff Alice Marie Burgin Ken Caldwell Kathleen Calhoun Edna Callahan Lois Carver Donald Corwin Harry Crocker Bob Davis Deryl Davis Virgil Earley Nancy Floyd Elaine Francis Jack Freeman Aileen Fulbright Pearl Gaddy Harold Garland George Garrett Betty Gibson Jimmy Galloway Mary Jo Grasty Patsy Green Bill Gilliland Betty Hale Evelyn Hannah Susie Head Lillian Hembree Frances Hendricks Coretta Henson Hazel Hollingsworth Virginia Hosaflock Mary Dorcas Howell Frances Hoyle June Hundley Kathryn Hyatt Frank James Genevieve Jaynes Sammy Jones G.

This seemed to worry everyone but the players. Coach Weatherby had to start by- teaching fundamentals, but after weeks of hard practice the team started getting into shape. The team, nervous and lacking team work, missed several scori ng chances the first ball game, but with “The Never Die spirit, that last¬ ed all year, was able to win o ’er Sylva 19 to 0. The following Friday, after another week of hard practice, they looked more impressive and defeated Tryon 27 to 2. , • Then came the heart breaker of the year. The Mountaineers, after journeying to Elizabethton, Tenn., were scored upon in the opening minutes and were never able to penetrate the strong Cyclone defense and lost 7 to 0. MILLS MEDFORD KUYKENDALL HIPPS NiCHOLS SET2ER BoJ earn Returning to their home state, the Mount¬ aineers jumped back into the win column where they remained all season by defeating Hender¬ sonville, Christ School, Bryson City, Asheville School, and Canton. The Mountaineers, by defeating Asheville School in a hard fought battle, 7 to 2, clinched the Blue Ridge Conference Championship and won themselves an invitation to play in the first annual Paper Bowl at Canton, N. C. With The Never Die” spirit that the Mount¬ aineers had shown all season, they came from behind in the last quarter to defeat the Marion High Rippers 19 to 14 in the Paper Bowl. Waynesville fans will long remember this small team with a big heart which showed excellent sportsmanship and the spirit to win throughout the season. i a6l?etl?ail First Row, left to right: James Fugate, William Buchanan.

We have sincerely tried to make it the best yearbook ever published at Waynesville Township High School. Our goal was high and our aim was true. We should like to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Bowles and Mrs. Richeson, whose never tiring interest and cooperation made our labors lighter and more pleasant. I should also like to thank Patsy Rogers, Bob Harry, Jack Kelley, Dot Norris, Mary Ann Massie, and all the other members of the staff, without whose help this annual would have been impossible, and Miss Margaret Terrell, our faculty adviser, for her assistance. In all sincerity, I should like to state that this has offered me experiences and pleasures which I shall never forget, and I hope that this book will be one that you will always cherish with pride.

Commander Curtis, who is on a cruise in the Pacific. His Chief Petty Of¬ ficer, Floyd Frazier, promised Peggy that he would assure the safe arrival of the Commander.” “Isn’t love grand? But, what is in store for all those girls who want to teach?” You probably remember Mr. Moore. He re¬ signed and Bessie Sue Francis is teaching math now. Jean Duckett, Margaret Cody, Dot Cald¬ well, and Betty Caldwell are all teaching at W.C.T.C. There are some other additions to the W.H.S. faculty, too; Catherine James is teaching Spanish, while Sue Owen has taken over the Home Economics class. All the boys out there are taking Astronomy. The new teacher, Mildred McElroy, isn’t married yet! Betty Jean Norris is teaching dress designing at the University of North Carolina. Allen Hart is Dean of Women at Woman’s College in Greensboro.” “My, what the children have to look forward to! But, what in the world will happen to Rol¬ and Houser and Earl Hoglen?” “Roland is touring the nation with his concert band. Earl is arranging all of the music.” “I see. Then, tell me what is in store for Joe Michal.” “This young man has established a bureau of research. He and his assistant, Peggy Camp, have made great contributions to science.” “Good for Joe. Now, what about the writers of our class? Have they, too, been a success?” “Colliers is running Mildred Morrison’s excit¬ ing continued story, and Ruth Mehaffey has won wide acclaim with her book on Mexico. Patsy Hill and Dorothy Hoglen are editing their own fashion magazine.” “Fine. Now, tell me what you have in the future for “Super” Dills, Brent Massie, and Roy Smathers.” “They are raising cattle on a sixteen hundred acre farm and trying to develop a cow that will milk herself.” “Boy, o boy. What will Super think of next? Shucks, I almost forgot to ask about Bill Smith.” “Bill is in Moscow, where his square dance team is performing before Stalin. He was sent over by the Secretary of State to cement rela¬ tions between the Soviet Union and the United States.” “That surely was a wrong move. Instead of cementing relations. Bill will shake the place apart. Now, Mars, the batteries are getting weak and I know my time is up, but what will happen to me?” “If you live through the results of this manu¬ script, you will go through life a hopeless cripple and a physical wreck.” “Much obliged, old fellow.” Well, the set is dead; but you all see what the planets have in store for you. If you don’t like your future, change it now while you have the chance; and don’t, when you look back on life, say you wish you had lived differently. The planets will gladly divert their courses if you can change yours; so, each one, recognizing his own faults, try to overcome them.

LOW PRICES KEEP US BUSY 92 It h as been a real pleasure to produce the 1949 Moun¬ taineer. The editor and his staff are to be highly commended for the efficient and business-like manner in which they planned the book, took care of the business of financing it, and pre¬ pared the hundreds of photographs and thousands of words for the printer. Th is work required organizing ability, orderly planning, and hundreds of hours of untiring effort — all of which had to be done by the students in addition to their regular school work and any other extra-curricular activities they could handle at the same time. We wish to offer our tribute to the young men and young ladies of the Senior Class who worked on this year book, and to their Principal and Teachers who, through the years have inculcated the lessons which prepared them to handle such a major undertaking so capably.
