Class In September 1946, a group of ex- cited kids entered Coleridge High School to begin their twelve year Journey on the road from ignorance to education. I'm sure it must have taken patience to help and guide thern during their first year at school. This task fell into the hands of Mrs. Mabel Bray. During the following seven years our knowledge was to increase much and our Our teachers during these years were: Mes: J. M. Green, Mrs. Kalldolf, Mrs.26.2H. Thompson, Mrs. Brookbank, Mre2lin, Mr. J. E- Sherard, and Mrs. E @: Yatum. Inthe fall of 1954 we were frightened by that monster everyone was calling high school. However we soon became accustomed to dis: Hew friéia. Our world to broaden. homeroom teacher was Mr. Bobby Ray Callicutt. For 6ur-elass officers we elected: James Hammer, Judy Brown, Carol Caviness and Melvin Kidd. During this year, Franklin © ra@yven, Betty Ann Kidd, Annie McKinney and Earl Stout left us for various reasons. As sophomores, we had Miss Vanner Our class Barbara Walker, James Hammer, Maxton Smith and Roger Prit- chard. Our activities began to covera broader field during this year. Several members of the class were initiated into the Beta Club with some attending the convention inthe Spring. Waiters and waitresses forthe Junior-Senior Banquet were chosen from our class this year. These were: Doretha Moffitt, Beverly Lawson, Barbara Walker, Roger Moffitt, Melvin Kiddand Manley Teague. We were unfortunate to have more class- mates leave us. Wedding Bells had called Carol Caviness, Mildred Cox, Faye Gar- ner and Thelma Kidd. Jean Moser and James Coggins also left. By the time our Junior year arrived we began to realize that our high school life was quickly passing. We were very Earl Fitts, as our class sponsor.

It seemed hard to settle downto books and lessons rou- tine again, with thoughts of the Junior- Senior Banquet, our annuals and other schooland class activities in mind.

Class Prophecy I, being the Secretary of the Senior Class of 1958, felt it was my duty to get alloriginal class members together for a class reunion. Being the year 1968 it-was quite a tasklocating everyone but I suc- ceeded and then-had them meet in my apartment. Barbara.Walker was myfirst guest toarrive. Shetold me she was teaching French in a local high school. Lois Brown reported herselfnow married with three children, two of whom are members of Professor Maxton Smiths' Geometry class at Asheboro High School. Maxton says they are good stu- dents. Barbara Garner and June Brady have their own apartment where they run a beauty parlor. They are both popular stylists andas a result are quite prosperous. Tessie and Lessie Ritter have become style designers in New York City. They wore dream creations to our reunion, John McCoy is still roaming the country searching for beautiful women, but thinks he has found his one and only, a brunette of Ra- leigh, N.C. Pat Stout and Odell Cox are working together in an art studio in Florida. They do portraits of world renown people. Doretha Moffitt is now living in Robbins along with her husband and two daughters. Just as we expected. James Hammer is one of the most popular lawyers in Virginia, a Perry Mason in shrewdness. Melvin Kidd is top salesman for the Chevrolet Company. He tells us he is designing a new model. Roger Moffitt is coaching the football team at East Carolina Col- lege and he has a winning team. Mary Ellen Williamson is a medicalsecretary for the local dentist Dr. John Chilton. : Wilhelma Cox has replaced Mrs. Fitts teaching Home Economics back in dear ole Coleridge High. She loves: it. Beverly Lawson,is a nurse in the Durham hospital. We hear she gets a big salary from the boss man, Manley Teague. Roger Pritchard is.a master farmer in North Carolina. He owns his private plane in which he attends conventions. These reports were quite surprising. Everyone began asking what I had been doing. I explained to them that I was employed as a private secretary and I had a very handsome boss to whom I was engaged. This night of enchantment and gaiety was over all tosoon. Every- one said good-bye and we agreed to meet again real soon. Judy Brown Prophetess 16
