THE PILOT FOR 1937

PUBLISHED BY Senior Class LEAKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

This Page Sponsored by Floyd Hill Furniture Company FOREWORD

With the pubHcation of "The Pilot" by the class of 1937, the Leaksville High School presents its first year-book. This takes the place of the special Senior Edition of the Leaksville News heretofore published at the end of the school year. When the class leaders met to discuss plans for this year's edition of the News, they found a unanimous desire for a more permanent way of keeping the pictures and articles concerning high school days. This book represents an attempt to answer that need. "The Pilot" gives a picture and thumb-nail sketch of each member of the graduating class, and also contains a record of class and school activities.

This, then, is our offering — a summary of the four years' work of the class of 1937. We have enjoyed collecting the material for this volume, and now take pleasure in presenting

it to you. It is our hope that it may bring pleasure to the class

as well as to their many friends. Anne Dillard, Editor.

HISTORY OF LEAKSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

The history of Leaksville High School as a state public institution begins in 1917.

It succeeded the former Leaksville-Spray Institute, which had played a very important part in the life of the community since 1905, when it first opened its doors for students.

The history of the Leaksville-Spray Institute is a most interesting one. Members of the Leaksville Baptist Church conceived the idea that there ought to be a Baptist secondary school in this part of the state. Just as soon as Bethel Hill Institute burned, of which Reverend J. A. Beam was principal, his service was sought and secured for this school in this community. Work was soon started, and the bviilding began to take shape. This resulted in the construction of two buildings the first year. The Leaksville-

Spray Institute opened the fall of 1905 with about a hundred students. Mr. J. A. Beam was in charge, assisted by his wife. He was in charge for four years. Those assisting in teaching were as follows: Professor McComic, in charge of the commercial department; Reverend W. Raleigh White, director in vocal music; Miss Mozelle Stringfield, teacher of instrumental music; Reverend W. E. Goode, assistant principal and teacher of mathe- matics, English, and history; and Miss Maud Woody, primary teacher.

During the second year a boys' dormitory was erected. With the increased number of students the school was recognized as one of the leading Baptist schools in the state. A number of students finished the prescribed course and took further training in colleges and seminaries. Many who graduated from the Institute have become prominent in various fields of business and professions.

Mr. Beam was followed by Mr. Whitehead, of South Carolina, as principal. He was here for a year and a half. Reverend S. J. Beeker followed Mr. Whitehead. He served

for two years and a half. The school was then closed for one year. When it opened in 1914, Mr. C. M. Beach was in charge. He was here from 1914 to 1917, when the

buildings were closed permanently as a Baptist school.

After the Institute closed, the state and local public school district operated a public high school for the benefit of the community. The Institute buildings were rented for

this purpose. Mr. P. H. Gwynn served as superintendent of the schools from .1917 to

1920. Mr. J. Minor Gwynn, his son, served as principal of the high school during the year 1919-1920. Statistics for that year show that there were four graduates. In 1920 Mr. Ralph Sullivan was elected superintendent of the Leaksville Schools and Miss Martha Blakeney (Mrs. L. H. Hodges) was elected principal of the high school. The board continued to rent the buildings where the Leaksville-Spray Institute was formerly conducted.

In the spring of 1921 the County Board of Education consolidated all schools in

Leaksville Township into one school district. There had been seven districts for white pupils and five districts for negro pupils. Immediately after the consolidation of the

school, the people voted a special school tax of 30 cents on the hundred dollar valuation

of property. Mr. James E. Holmes, who for two years had been superintendent of the

Spray schools, was elected superintendent of the newly consolidated district. Mr. C. H. Weatherly was elected principal of the Leaksville High School. Both men have con- tinuously served in the above named capacity since their election.

In 1931 an entirely new school plant was built. This school was built on the site of the old one. It has many improvements over the old. Many new courses are now offered.

Among them are, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, home economics, and a full commercial course. Other improvements are, individual lockers, shower and locker rooms, a good gymnasium, a cafeteria, where lunches brought from home may be eaten as well as those bought in the cafeteria. The gymnasium and left wing of the present building are parts of the old Leaksville-Spray Institute, which were joined to the new building.

The school no longer is dependent on the janitor to ring the bells. This is attended to by a system of electric clocks, gongs, and bells. In consequence, there is more punctuality and the whole system of order runs smoothly. The school has three excellently equipped science laboratories. The Home Economics suite is a model for any school to copy with pride; and the auditorium, with its bowl floor and excellent stage, is the equal of any.

Probably no school in North Carolina has had such a phenomenal growth as Leaks- ville High School. Many of its graduates have gone to college, some of whom have made enviable records in scholarship and athletics. Many of these graduates are today holding responsible positions in the professional and business world.

We have come to an outstanding milestone in the life of the Class of 1937 — an occasion of sadness and joy and solemnity as we close the volume of High School History and turn to the unwritten, unknown pages of life's larger future.

We realize, with a feeling of sorrow, that we shall never again meet in this same class atmosphere and we deeply realize that many new responsibilities lie before us in the coming years. But for a little while we want to lay aside the serious thoughts which are, after all, a part of this occasion. We want to share together the joy that is ours in the consummation of the efforts of our high school life.

We want to draw you within our "inner circle" and review with you some of our struggles, our comedies, our tragedies, our abundance of experiences during the past four years. We wish to tell you, too, of our high hopes for the future.

We rejoice in the knowledge that in our upward climb we carry with us the best wishes of our friends and parents.

We feel that you do honor to our class by being present on our graduation night.

It is my privilege, in behalf of the class, to welcome you gladly, joyously to that occasion which has been for so long a great expectation, and will be for so long, a cherished memory! Welcome! Helen Williams.

CLASS HISTORY

One bright September morning in 1933 two hundred fifty-four Freshmen gathered at Leaksville High School, prepared for four long years of study and work together.

Having registered a few days before, they found their places with little difficulty. The main decision to be made was whether to take Latin or geography. The teachers were very kind and thoughtful in helping the pupils to become accustomed to high school life. A few months later the class chose Helen Williams to be leader for the first year.

Soon the students joined clubs and took active parts in athletics. The teachers had a policy of making them study so that they would not be green Freshmen again. Eight months passed very rapidly and the school activities were stopped for a short while.

In the fall of 1934 one hundred sixty-nine of the comrades returned from vacation time determined to work harder than ever. In the case of some, these resolutions were carried out for about three days. This year the class did its part in helping initiate the Freshmen. Phillip Osborne was selected to lead the band. While algebra proved to be the "Jonah" for some, Caesar brought many to their "Waterloo." The sophisticated Sophomores possessed more school spirit than they had shown during the former year. One of the causes for this may have been the fact that the members of the class had gained experience and knowledge. Some members became prominent in the extra-curric- ular activities of school. The class as a whole did not have a social during this year. Once again the time came for the members of the class to be separated for four months.

One hundred fifty-seven of the faithful band returned in the fall of 193 5 to become Juniors. Indeed, the class felt like "Jolly Juniors." They had learned both to work and to play at school. Some had found the way long and tedious, and so decided to quit school. On the other hand, the members of the group who studied and worked achieved knowledge. When the class met to select another leader for the group, Luther Hodges was chosen. In this capacity he served most efficiently. Each member of the group was proud to announce to the whole world that he belonged to the class of '37. My, but they felt their importance! They studied, they worked, and they played.

In the future, the social events of the Junior year will be remembered. In November a very enjoyable weiner roast was held at the Rock Crusher. On April 17 came the long hoped-for Junior-Senior Banquet, which was given as a Radio Broadcast. After the banquet many attended the dance given at the Community Clubhouse. Several weeks later the Juniors had a party at the Clubhouse. During the remaining weeks of school, the different clubs had socials which brought added gayety and happiness to the happy year. Examinations and Commencement brought to an end another year.

As one hundred and twenty returned for the fourth year there was a degree of sad- ness within their hearts because not half of the band was enrolled. Realizing that this was their last chance to make reputations at dear old Leaksville High School, the digni-

-4 27

This Page Sponsored by Stock's Insurance and Realty Company fied Seniors went to work immediately. Once more they realized the importance of having a capable leader at the head of the group. Again Luther Hodges was chosen leader for this position. Helen Williams and John Hampton were selected to be his co-workers.

The fall was not of great importance to the whole class. Several weeks before Christ- mas, the rings arrived. By these small bands of gold the members of the class felt more closely tied to each other. As spring approached they met many times to discuss business affairs and to make preparation for Commencement. Class colors, a flower, a motto, and a class mascot were selected. By a unanimous vote of the class the Seniors decided to publish a year-book to take the place of the annual edition of the newspaper.

For a name, "The Pilot," submitted by Bland Hunnicutt, was chosen.

During the four years, the work has often been difficult. Because of this, many have fallen by the wayside. Seven or eight new comrades have been added, coming to us from other high schools. Some of these have been outstanding students. Even though the class is not the largest that has graduated from Leaksville High School, it is, perhaps, one of the best. The class as a whole has done very commendable work, twenty-two of the group having averaged above ninety for the four years are honor graduates. The

Valedictorian with an average of 97.02 stands at the head of the class and has an average surpassed by no Valedictorian of this school. After four long years the goal has been attained. Commencement time is at hand. One hundred-six of the class, having finished the course set before them, face a promising future.

Lois Frazier.

Washington, D. C, May 1 5, 1948. Dearest Miss Jones: My trip to Boston was simply filled with wonderful surprises! One night I attended the theatre, and whom should I hear but this country's greatest opera singer, Rhuney

Patterson. I was surprised and also pleased to find that James Banks and Edward Whis- nant were the two chief ushers. Later, when I returned to my old home town for a visit, someone told me of your eight years' absence from Leaksville. Probably you would like to know the fortune of some other members of our class. Doris Martin and Helen Williams are the only girls in the Senior Class who are married so far. Doris' husband, however, growing tired of her cooking, wants to find a wife less coy, but who is a better hand at making biscuits. Helen, finally deciding not to be a second Mae West, settled down to married life, and is now writing a book called "Are Husbands Really Human?"

You will probably be surprised to hear that our former editor, Anne Dillard, is now writing a column in the daily paper on advice to the lovelorn. Geneva Simpson, Lucile

Stone, and Annie Mae White, growing conscious of the fact that time is passing and dates are lessening, constantly seek her advice.

James Ivie, believe it or not, is now principal of Leaksville High School and has eliminated from the curriculum geometry, English, and literature. Ruth Craddock, as his assistant, teaches methods of flirting, the art of make-up, and all the other arts dear

to the young lassies of the school. James Fair is also on the faculty, teaching beauty culture to the boys. They all want to grow handsome so they can carry off beauty prizes as he did!

Here is a Senior who certainly fooled us! Garnet Fields, much to everyone's surprise, invented a new type airplane for her own personal use and flies in it every day to avoid traffic jams.

Read this and weep! Violet (really this is true) is substitute in the kindergarten, teaching Little Bo Peep and Little Jack Horner. Anyway, she gets to talk a lot and answer questions to her heart's content. I know you will be pleased to hear of the accomplishments of three of your most promising students, Thomas Robinson, Luther Hodges, and John Hampton. Thomas is a member of the International Curly-Haired Men's Club. He delivers orations every Saturday night. The subjects are, "How to Woo the Ladies" and "The Value of Wavy Hair." Luther, having gained the confidence and respect of the faculty at Harvard

College, has just been made janitor-in-chief of that institution. John Hampton is an

astronomer, and is now trying to find out how many species of ants live on Mars! Emerson Foster certainly turned the tables on us. Much to everyone's surprise, he is head teacher in a school for the deaf and dumb. What a fate for the boy whose main trouble used to be talking too much! Maybe he learned his lesson.

Ruby Wilson, however, certainly lived up to the old saying, "The child is the father of the man." Remember her old love for animals, especially horses? Well, she now owns a prosperous wild west show and carries her troupe to all the countries of the world except Italy. She says Italians are cruel to dumb animals. I wish I could tell you about the rest of the Seniors, but due to lack of space I will have to wait until my next letter to tell of their accomplishments. Yours sincerely, Katharine King.

P. S. Leaksville High's financial troubles are over. Garland Edwards has inherited a mil- lion dollars and now pays for all the Yearbooks! -4 29

Something conquered. Much to subdue; Tasks completed Will help us with new; We rally with fervor, Victors as ever, Hearts, courageous and true.

Something attempted. Something done; Work here finished And other's begun; Our banners float o'er us. Our goal stands before us, To win a place in the sun.

THE PILOT LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

We, the class of 1937 of Leaksville High School, State of North Carolina, County of Rockingham, Town of Leaksville, U. S. A., following the usual custom, present this our last will and testament in the presence of this congregation. Knowing that we must pass from the stage of action, we humbly bequeath our most prized possessions to those who, in our opinion, are most worthy of receiving them. (Individual bequests taken from Last Will and Testament)

L Thomas Robinson leaves to Dick Shaw his honor roll grades and spelling ability.

2. To Louis Waller goes Floyd Johnson's curly hair and power over women.

3. Bill Barton yields his place as valedictorian and all of his shoeshines to Edwin Wilson.

4. Helen Williams passes her popularity and winning smile to Billy Marshall. We

think this is the human thing to do.

5. Luther Hodges gives his secret of winning favor with Mr. Weatherly to his big brother. Buddy.

6. Rhuney Patterson passes her singing ability and exquisite figure to Sarah Slate.

7. Anne Dillard bequeaths her master's degree in literature to Cuba Nelson.

8. Emerson Foster, better known as "Carrot Top," wills his dates on the Reidsville road to Billy Sherwood.

9. Katharine King gives her "Kate Smith" voice to Margaret Gentry. This may aid her in singing "Balboa."

10. "Melancholy" John Hampton yields his executive ability to Bethel Robinson. 11. James Fair passes on to any Junior boy, who meets the requirements, his good looks. See him.

12. Garland Edwards has changed his attitude, and wills it to James Holmes, so that he may become Miss McKinney's pet when a Senior. 13. To Mary Lee Fitts goes Violet Younger's laziness and quietness.

14. Lois Frazier leaves all her dates with school boys to her neighbor, Laura Gordon.

15. Doris Martin wills to Lucy Martin her power over ice men, provided she con- centrates on one.

16. Jesse Hale wills to Norman Smith his place as the best citizen of the Senior Class. This is a very wise choice indeed. 17. Mary Ellen Shannon yields to Nancy Wall her power over boys in Senior B. and C.

18. Ruby Wilson has finally been persuaded to will her knowledge of horses and her friendly disposition to the talented Junior, Margaret Kendrick. 19. James Ivie has given his punctuality and fine attendance record to Hugh Tyner. 20. To the Juniors we leave our rooms, our desks, and our privileges. We might throw in our dignity if we could be assured they would take care of it. To the faculty we leave grateful hearts for their untiring efforts to guide and train us. To our principal, Mr. Weatherly, we leave our sincere appreciation for his thoughtfulness and patience in dealing with us.

21. Last, but not least, we leave our best wishes to the school as a whole; also a hope that the years mav bring to each of the students success and happiness that come from a sense of high endeavor and fine living. Luther C. Hodges. '^4 3

After weeks of research and thorough study of the class of '37, we have statistics that will compare with the master work of Mr. Babson of the U. S. Bureau of Statistics. Of course, no wars are on record, although many feuds could be presented equaling those that occur during elections of superlatives. However, everything was "on the square." When the check was made, we found several of the students carried away all the honors. But our best citizen, Jesse Hale, needed only one honor, since he received the highest among the list. Somehow or other, a girl, Helen Williams, was voted as the best all-round, but what could forty-three boys do against sixty-three girls, especially against Helen? Our valedictorian, Violet Younger, was elected the most studious and the most ambitious. We wondered how this happened, since she had the average of only 97+. The president of the class, Luther Hodges, is the most promising and possesses the best school spirit. As for promises, he has no promises from our salutatorian up to this date. Garnet Fields (Goo-Goo), the class baby, wishes her public to know that she can now pronounce the word "papa" without a childish accent. The most ver- satile is Katharin? King, who well deserves her title. She can walk, talk, play, and, oh boy! how she can slay the boys. Most of the class critics say that Violet Younger' should have had the honor as the most talkative. It's a mistake, but Geneva Simpson won that place. Garland Edwards and Lois Gilley were elected best among the athletes.

"Tcughy" could well be applied to both as nicknames. Bill Barton, the laziest boy, has hired Lewis Durham for life as a valet. The most attractive boy, Jack Matthews, wins the girls going and coming since his recognition as the official "pretty boy." The best- dressed girl is Katharine King, and why not? Annie Mae White, the most dignified, has gone "high-hat" on the class.

But now for the unofficial superlatives, the title that really belongs to them, but will never be written by their names: J. Piatt Turner is the "cutie pie" of the class;

Nellie Mae Martin is the little woman; James Ivie is known as the fastest driver; Frank

Boone has the most ferocious voice, sometimes hitting as low as high C; and, Thomas

Robinson (this really is sarcastic) is the brightest boy in the class.

Our class officers were, of course, well chosen. For president, we have Luther Hodges, who reports that nothing serious has happened, he thinks. Helen Williams, vice- president, differs from Mr. Garner in the respect that she is a woman and has no senate to preside over. John Hampton, treasurer, reports that the class broke even.

And to top this report, look what a good record in hours attended. Of the 422,400 hours attended by the members, James Fair skipped only 1,5 00. Bill Barton slept through only 4,000. As for the hours after school, James Ivie stayed in 2,500 hours. Thomas Robinson stayed with one teacher 3,000 hours. And our president, Luther Hodges, stayed with the Spanish teacher 1,000 hours. Outside of this, and a few unprintable black marks, the great class of '37 leaves a clean slate, and hopes that their successors will carry onward with as good record as they have.

A FEW WORDS OF FAREWELL FROM THE VALEDICTORIAN

classmates, we have come to the end of our high school days. For four years we have worked and played together. And now, after these last farewells to our school, our teachers, our parents, friends, and comrades, we shall have finished a very happy and delightful period of our lives.

The school, which we have proudly called ours during these years, has always been dear to us. But now that the last class has been met, the last examination taken within these walls, dear old Leaksville High has become even more worthy of our esteem and devotion. Our Alma Mater will ever be enshrined in our memories.

We regret that we must say good-bye to the teachers who have been our friends and helpers during these years. To them we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be paid. May we show that we appreciate their splendid leadership and guidance by becoming men and women worthy of their admiration. As we go out to cope with the experiences of life, may we put into practice the training and instruction they have given us.

To our parents and friends, who have helped us through these years of training, we are indebted even more than we realize now. They have rejoiced with us in times of happiness and have sympathized with us in times of sorrow. Our parents have sacrificed much to give us a better chance; they have expected us to accomplish great things. May we ever live up to their highest expectations.

Classmates, I realize that this means farewell to you also. We have no doubt spent the happiest days of our lives together here. It is with sincere grief that I think of the fact that we are soon to part, never again to meet as a group. My parting wish for each of you is that you will always be successful and happy in whatever life work you choose, and that you will ever keep before you a knowledge of what is essential to that success and happiness. And so to you, to the school, to the faculty, to our parents, and to all friends, I bid farewell. Violet Younger.

Dewey Decimal Classification system. The librarians have enjoyed their work in the

club and feel that they have gained much useful training. Margaret Hodges.

lated interest in the subject and has given a much wider knowledge of the Roman

customs to each student. The club has also promoted good fellowship among its members.

JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET

On Friday evening, April sixteenth, the annual Junior-Senior Banquet, the outstand- ing social event of the school year, was held in the cafeteria of Leaksville High School. By skillful decorating, the cafeteria was transformed to Mother Goose Land. A door was changed to a huge shoe and from its "tongue" came the Sophomore waitresses dressed as little girls, in pink and blue. Carrying out the color scheme, the windows were draped, and in each window a candle was placed. The setting for the entertainment was a stage, the background of which was a silhouette of the cow jumping over the moon. The place cards were miniature nursery characters in pink and blue; the program was written in booklets of the same colors representing blocks. All toasts were parodies in nursery rhymes. Christine Mabe, the toastmistress, introduced each person on the program with a characterization from Mother Goose Rhymes. The following program was given:

"MAC" AND "JIM"

We take our hats off to the East brothers, "Mac" and "Jim," for helping us put out some of our best athletic teams. Under their guidance the football team had one of the best seasons in the history of the Leaksville High School. The basketball teams made an even better record. The girls won a cup at a tournament held in Draper and the boys' team went to the finals at Winston-Salem.

In the following pages you will sec the records of their efforts and achievements. Since no coach was secured by the officials, it was decided to give "Mac" and "Jim" a trial as coaches. We, of the Senior

Class, would like to say to these two, "We thank you!"

FOOTBALL TEAM OF 1937 HAS GOOD YEAR

Leaksville High School did not win any of the honors which are bestowed upon the

best teams of the state, but the squad had a fine season. To our credit came the winning of games against many strong and undefeated teams not only in North Carolina, but in

Virginia also.

After a few weeks of practice we made a trip to Winston-Salem. To her misfortune she lost without even scoring a point. The L.eaksville boys came home with the victory, having won 13 to 0.

Our next trip was to Danville to play George Washington High School. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by shouting cheer leaders and a band loudly playing the school anthem. As the team took their places on the field for the kick-off, the boos sounded like thunder. At the end of the half, the score was tied 0-0, no one having scored as yet. Then came the surprise — our boys simply ran away with them. Slowly the cheers turned to sighs and moans; from then to the close of the game there was a hush. The ending score was 13-0 in our favor. This was the first defeat for George Washington

High School in three years.

Madison came to Leaksville to Dixon Memorial Park for the next game. The game was won easily with a score of 12-0 in our favor.

Following this victory, came the first conference game. Our opponent was Mount Airy, the game being played at the home park. Owing to the toughness of the team we were hardly able to stay in the game. At the end of the first half the score was'

7-0 in their favor, but toward the end, luck seemed to be with us and the final score was 13-13.

Thomasville High School came to meet us here for the next game. This game is an unforgetable one because of the terrible weather. Due to the constant rain and the mud, our passing attack was almost futile. After a whole game of playing, sliding, splashing, and fighting, the score remaind as it was at the first whistle, 0-0.

We went to Spencer for our next game, to play those dreadful "Railroaders." Due to some faults and misunderstandings, they made thirteen points and we made nothing in the first half. At the starting of the last half a heated argument arose, and after much discussion, the game was forfeited.

It was decided that we meet Reidsville at the World War Memorial Stadium, in

Greensboro, for the next game. The ending score was 19-7 in their behalf. This was a hard-fought game which required courage and determination, and as a result of the showing of these traits some of our boys gained recognition as good players.

Later we went to Mills Home Orphanage at Thomasville, expecting a hard game.

This was the second cold, rainy, slippery game. The ending score, after a sweeping defeat, was 33-0 to their credit. Floyd Johnson.

do for his widowed mother, who through an accident lost her health and eyesight. All of his duties he performs well and cheerfully.

In the opinion of the class he is the ideal boy — honest, dependable, indus- trious, modest, and generous.

BEST ALL-ROUND

This little girl, a native of El Paso, Texas, moved to Leaksville in 193 and entered Burton Grove School. Here her grades were excellent. In high school she has made the second highest average for the four years. Helen Williams has al- ways been well liked by the students be- cause of her friendly ways and spirit of helpfulness. This year she was chosen the JESSE HALE best all-round student in the Senior Class. This honor she won because of her schol- BEST arship, popularity, and general ability. CITIZEN Each year the Reynolds Chapter of the D. A. R. presents a medal to the student of the Leaksville High School who is voted by faculty and students as the best citizen. This year the student chosen to receive this honor is Jesse Hale. He lives in Spray, where he was born, and where he attended graded school. In 193 3 he entered the high school, where he has made a good record each year. These have been very busy years for him. In order to support himself he has been working at several jobs. For seven years he was a newsboy; as a bus driver for two years he has proved to be very dependable and capable. For two years he has worked in the mill during vaca- tion time. Jesse has proved his worth as an ideal citizen not only in school but at home, where he has most of the housework to HELEN WILLIAMS
