Prophecy There | was, floating arond in space 10,000 feet above the earth, when suddenly a bird dog flew by, a rubber band struck up “Dixie,” a little man oared by in a row-boat, and something made me think of my Senior Class. By this time, Pat Aldridge, who founded and is president of the INTRA-PLANETARY BABY- SITTING AGENCY is doing a thriving business with the parents on Mars. Two years after graduation, Kermit Ashley won the National A.A.U. Wrestling Champion- ship, and is now managing the “Four Wey Sisters,’ world famous girl wrestling team. Collis Austin is now sound effects man for “Elsie, the Borden Cow Show” on WATA, which now is the Mutual Broadcasting System. Inci- dentally, for a good case of nostalgic pathos, tune in every third Wednesday evening for Beth Eggers singing “That Old Gang of Mine,” accompanied by Betty Sue Norris and her one- woman orchestra, consisting of a piano, flute, and fourteen magic fiddles. Lucille Cox and Joan Winebarger are literally setting Paris on fire as two of the top dancers in the “Folies-Bergeres.” They live on the left bank of the Seine with their little poodle, Fifi. Their next-door neighbor is Robert Dotson, who has been studying art in gay Paree since 1955 and is now a world-famous artist in the abstract. Joan Brookshire has been leading the Navy Band for several decades and she is really giving the Admirals a fit! IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS, Jim Brown and Bob Ray are now managing the A.A.A. (Aho Athletic Association.) Jim Idol, “The Deep Gap Flash,” still holds the Olympic Track Title and insists on breaking his own record every year. Jimmy Cline is the nation’s top jockey, having ridden the great horse, “Mackie-doo,” namesake for his owner, Mac Wellborn, to victory, time after time. Charles Taylor has turned his fifteen sons into a dynamic football team which is unde- feated, to date. Joy Brown won the part of Billie Dawn in “Born Yesterday,” previously done by Judy Holliday, and is giving inspiring performances in the illegitimate theatre. Clara Carlton and Evelyn Haynes are top- notch saleswomen at Saks Fifth Avenue. They got their experience in the “Rec. Room.” A new shock-absorbent drum head has been patented by Connie Casey; while in the field of Chemistry, Dick Lavendar has introduced his new “liquid wood” and sells it in bottles by the gross. Mildred Jones, Mary Clawson, and Lillie Lyons joined forces to revise Gregg’s Revised Short- hand Method. Jane Rivers and Armfield Coffey, Democratic and Republican National Committee Chairmen, respectively, killed themselves recently when James Phillips, Communist candidate won the presidency. FLASH—Martha Colvard and Jeanette Cooke, co-owner of the great chain of Crest Stores won their law suit against Don Miller and Charles Winkler, owners of the new, improved Bark. It seems that the girls complained of the un- pleasant odors being sent this way by the Blowing Rock, which were spoiling the refined atmosphere of their dime store. Yvonne Bodenheimer and Mary Jon Lanning are the new ambassadresses to Russia, and they have frequent conferences with Mrs. Joe Stalin. Polly Anne Cox is Washington’s leading socialite and at her famous parties are often seen Senator James McKinney, Congressman Albert Greene, and Secretary of State Melvin Greene. Nina Mae Culler and Mary Nell Greer have revolutionized the dressmaking industry by inventing a new, supersonic sewing machine. Betty Jean Edminsten, having been swept off the west coast by a Florida hurricane and having landed on a remote South Pacific island, daily feeds the whales on Gene Honeycutt’s addition to the dieting standards, “Tasty Tidbits for Tiny Tadpoles.” Mary Lee Edminsten is the new boys’ basket- ball coach at A.S.T.C. Jime Graham, a millionairess interior decora- tor, now has a thriving business, most of her profits coming from an annual remodeling of the Taj Mahal and the White House. Patsy McGuire finally married “Besse,” and she is now busy raising a new brand of Mongolian Idiots. The nation’s leading novelist is Sevilla Gold. Her latest best-seller a book on good grooming. Guy Hunt has replaced Al Capp in the world of cartooning and is proclaimed the greatest in his field. Bill Hunter has just bought Florida, and we hear that he’s trying to give it back to the Spaniards. Guess what!! Phyllis Johnson, the new head matron of the girls’ dorm at A.S.T.C., is the most lenient yet..... she lets the girls stay out until the scandelous hour of 10:14!!!! Mayview Manor has recently been purchased by Bill Jones. Frequently seen dining there are Nancy Winkler, Nancy Jane Norris and Betty Jo Smith, and their husbands. Jean Keplar is Chief-of-Police of Rhode Island —she patrols all the highways every morning. The new co-owners and publishers of ‘Country Gentlemen” are John Norris and Arvil Greene. In case you’ve noticed the new buses which can sprout wings (weather permitting) it’s all due to J. E. Greene, who now owns the Bird Dog Bus Corporation. Faye Greene's latest record, “Let Ol’ Mother Nature Have Her Way,” has just sold two million copies. Ala Hodges, world renowned music critic, proclaims it the greatest record since “Shot-Gun Boogie.” Geneva Norris and Clara Parlier have just stacked up a cool million from their business, the Tidy Didy Diaper Service. Shirley Sherril has just been named the first woman four-star general, largely through her explanations of various military tactics. Tarzan has had a new mate in the movie serial for years. It’s Corinna Shull and she’s the biggest box-office attraction since “Bitter Rice.” The literary world has plumb forgot Shake- speare’s Romeo since Bill Talbert hit the stage.

Clara Teague and her missionary husband have converted a million infidels to date. Peggy Teague is now a brilliant concert pianist. She gives nightly concerts at Carnegie Hall. Margret Watson is commissioner of Motor Vehicles and on the side helps manage Joan Welborn’s fleet of race cars.

Class History When one hundred and sixty eighth graders began their “careers” at A.H.S. on a bright sunny morning in September of 1949, little did we realize that the years would pass so rapidly and we would be Seniors before we knew it. Throughout our Freshman year we were plagued with algebra tests, going on paper drives to raise funds for our Junior-Senior, and just becoming completely adjusted to high school life in general. That year, our entire class went to Mt. Mitchell at the close of the school year for a class picnic. Ah yes, times were never better. During our Sophomore year, our class made a liberal contribution to the athletic teams of A.H.S. The Sophomores on the football team were already showing some inclination as to what we would do in the years to follow, and in our Senior year we certainly weren’t disappointed. We were aware of the fact that our Junior-Senior wasn’t far off, and we shifted into high gear and raised additional funds for the affair by continuing our paper drives and sponsoring several dances. Being a “Jaunty Junior” wasn’t quite what it was cracked up to be. Most of the more fortunate members of the class struggled through and passed English IIl under Miss Theo Wells, whom we shall all doubtless remember. The Halloween Carnival that we sponsored was most successful, thanks to the untiring efforts of the entire class and faculty. When the Junior-Senior Banquet was presented, with the banquet at the college cafeteria and the dance at the high school gym, we all felt that all our efforts had not been in vain. The theme was “Garden in the Rain.” We actually found time to participate in other things besides class activities and we were rather proud of some of our fellow classmates for receiving several honors. Harbin Moretz was co-captain of the boys’ basketball team, and was also co-captain of the football squad. Joan Brookshire was elected Homecoming Queen for the year of 1951 by the student body. And now, as we are approaching the climax of our years at A.H.S., we do so with both anticipation and reluctance... reluctance to leave that which has been instrumental in the molding of our personalities and anxious to see how we can apply that which we have learned. Well, it’s been real!!! " The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on. " " Happy memories -- when the money for the Junior - Senior was first and foremost with us and decorating for dances was a nec2ssary evil. " " Ah! What fools we Seniors be! !
