book one C I 3 S S 6 S Barbara Aldridge Poet ONWARD

When spring arrives with new life this year, Home, where we’ve spent our very best days,

And school days fly swiftly by, So pleasant now to recall .

May we pause and recall sweet memories I hose days we once called endless .

Of the days we’ve spent at Brown 1 ligh. How we’d love to relive them all.

Yes, only twelve short years ago But there aie many steps on the ladder of life,

Our school days had their start, And our climb has just begun,

But now as the crossroads of life draw near So we have no time to falter

And friends for so long must part, Until our job is done.

Some will go up the highway to fame, Now, our Father, as we leave behind While others may onward roam; 1 hese days we've learned to love,

But no matter where our pathways lead. Guide and help us in all that we do

Brown I ligh will always be home. To keep our eyes on I bee above.

I walked slowly down the sidewalk. The fog was thick and the streetlights formed tiny halos above the silent, deserted streets. I walked toward Central Park. This was my final farewell to New York and to America. Tomorrow night I would be well on my way to a new career and a new life in Germany. I stepped from the street to the curb and gazed through the arches. To my bewilderment, the familiar sights of Central Park were gone. Instead, I saw a stage. I stopped in amaze ment and watched fascinated. The house lights dimmed; the music swelled, then ceased, as the curtains rose. The stars took their places and the action began. The time was four years ago, in the fall of 1950. The scene was J. W. Cannon High School. The cast was composed of my Freshman Class. We were all excited and thrilled at the thought of entering high school for our first time. We had a lot to learn. We met and made new friends. Officers were soon elected to guide us through that first year. They were Jimmy McKinley, president; Katie Ruth Durham, vice president; Norma Jean Daniels, secretary; and Ray Rich- ardson, treasurer. We chose Margaret Dial and Michael Koontz to represent us on the Student Council. Our first party as a class was a picnic held in the gym. We played games and had square dancing. Miss Betty Boyette was our class adviser.

Behind die pitching of Howard Hall, Buddy Waggoner, and Freddy Whitaker the Brown High baseball team made their bid for the championship of the South Piedmont Conference. Howard Hall and Frankie Black, seniors, were elected to guide the team as co- captains. Other seniors on the team were: Buddy Argo, Don Argo, Delmas Petrea, and Gene Thompson. The Kannapolis team played twelve games during the regular conference season. Teams the Wonders played were Landis, Winecoff, China Grove, Mooresville, Con- cord, and Albemarle. The team also played the Davidson Freshmen in two non- conference games. The Freshmen won the first game 4-0 but the Wonders triumphed over the collegians 8-7 in a return game. The team opened the conference action April 2 at Landis by tripping the Yellow Jackets 5-2. Winecoff came to Kannapolis April 9 and bowed to the Wonders 7-3. As this goes to press the team has just trampled the China Grove Red Devils 15-1.

The Kannapolis Club seemed well on its way to another crown as they hold un- disputed first place in the standings.
