We were very fortunate in that we were the first class to have the opportunity of five years of high school at Floyd. Also, during this year of '49 and '50, we were fortunate to have Mrs. Dobyns and Mrs. Simpkins as our ad- visors. Our officers were: President, Charles KingreagVice-President, Freeda Hall, Secretary, Treasurer, and Reporter, Erma Thompson, S. C. A. Representatives, Bobby Agnew and Charlotte Parrick. It was during this year that we tried our hand at publishing an issue of the school paper. In '50 and '51 we became freshmen and had as our advisors Mrs. Rainey and Mr. William- son. Our officers were: President, Ravanal Nixon, Vice-President, Freeda Hall, Secretary, Charles Kingrea,Treasurer, Bobby Agnew, Reporter, Margaret Underwood, S. C. A. Represent- atives, Charlotte Parrick and Lucy Boyd. ' We were sophomores in '51 and '52 and had again as our advisors Mrs. Rainey and Mr. Williamson. Our officers were: President, Charles Kingrea, Vice-President, Vivian Goad, Sec- retary and Treasurer, Ileda Shelor, Reporter, Joyce Pugh, S. A. Representatives, Catherine Hazelwood and Elbert Talley. Entering our junior year in September, '52, we felt very important and began our most in- teresting school activities. They were the Junior Play "Gown of Glory" directed by Mrs. Moricle and Mrs. Altizer,and a trip to Lakeside to entertain the seniors. We also raised money to invest on our trip when we were seniors. Our advisor was Mrs. Altizer and our officers were: President, Charles Kingrea, Vice- President, Freeda Hal1,Secretary,Ravanal Nixon, Treasurer, Bobby Agnew, S. C. A. Represent- atives, James Lawson and Ravanal Nixon, Reporter, Vivian Goad. In '53 and '54 came the year we had been waiting for. We were seniors and again Mrs. Altizer was our sponsor. The senior class officers were: President, Walker Burdette, Vice- President, Ravanal Nixon, Secretary, Doris Pugh, Treasurer, Vivian Goad, Reporter, James Lawson, S. C. A. Representatives, Ileda Shelor and Rodney Thomas. Activities for that year were highlighted byza presentation of the "Seventeenth Summer' sponsored by Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Altizer, and a sight-seeing trip to New York which was partially financed by magazine sales. To Mrs. Altizer we wish to express our gratitude and thanks for being a faithful and patient sponsor. So ends our record in brief of five years at Floyd High School. I CLASS PROPHECY Dr. and Mrs. Charles Harmon Request the Honor of Your Presence at the 10th Reunion of the Class of 1954 of Floyd High School June 2, 1964 I arrived at the Harmon estate and after much driving around found a place to park the old green Ford between a Cadillac and a big red convertible. My classmates must have done well for themselves! I hadn't seen or heard from some of them in years and was very anxious to see my old classmates. Patsy Knowles met me at the door. She's Charles' able assistant. Charles and his wife were first in the receiving line. Charles met his wife while studying tropical diseases in Africa. There was something strangely familiar about the handsome man and his lovely wife next in line. They were none other than Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kingrea. He is now Superintendent of Floyd County Schools. Next in line was Alice Dickerson, girls' basketball coach at Floyd High. Her girls haven't lost a game in five years. As ljourneyed on, James Lawson greeted me. Besides being the youngest mayor Floyd ever had, he owns a successful television company. Freeda Hall who is editor of The Floyd Press was everywhere interviewing the celebrities. Of course, the first on her list was our Senior Sponsor, Mrs. Altizer. She seems delighted that she had recently been chosen the !'Prettiest Grandmother" of the year. Wilbert Midkiff was next on Freeda's list. He, along with his ten-gallon hat, had come all the way from his 5,000 acre ranch in Texas for the reunion. Coming in wearing a good-looking Wac uniform was Lillie Howell. She is married to a soldier and now is a recruiting officer. I joined Ileda Shelor at the and of the ballroom. She said that Frank was keeping their four children because they couldn't getiadbaby sitter. Presiding at the punch bowl was Shirley Rutter. The beautiful dress she was wearing came from her own exclusive dress shop in Roanoke. Lou Hungate, another teacher!!! the class that graduated from Radford, came back to Floyd to teach. Some of the members of her class are the children of the graduates of 1954. Jackie Hall came down from Washington, D. C. I-le's the farmer who went to town and he's now in the Agricultral Department in Washington. All the big trucks you see these days have Radford Trucking Company on the sides. Six years ago, Nolen started out as a truck driver, but now he owns his own Trucking Company in Roanoke. Erma Thompson is a famous New York model. She recently won the title of"Miss America." Lucille Akers is the librarian at Floyd High. Lucille said she had just finished reading Walker Burdette's latest play. He now ranks with Shakespeare in his writings. Stella Gardner is head operator in the telephone office in Floyd. She helped Charles get the addresses of the classmates for the reunion. All the girls were raving about Doris Pugh's new hair style. She finally told us that it was one of her originals. Doris gave up her job as secretary and became a hair designer. --Ravanal Nixon won a screen test in Hollywood and became a movie star over night. Her profession is just being glamorous. Vernon Roop is a regular pilot and makes two rounds across the continent each week. Joyce Pugh is still working at Leggett's Department Store in Christiansburg. She is now married to the manager of the store. Elbert Talley is a cartoonist. Everyone loves his famous comic strip, "All About Nothing." Mary Underwood is the wife of a successful dairy farmer. She is proud of the fact that she is the only mother of the class who has twins. Maggie Midkiffis an undercover agent for the F. B. I. She says that she can always get her man but hasn't found the right one yet. Bobby Agnew is the world's most famous chemist. He is doing research work on the ele- ments of love at the present. Remember my desire to become a nurse after graduation? As I hoped, I am now a nurse at a hospital in South Carolina and married to the head physician. These are the present positions of the 1954 graduates. Ipredict that the future will be a successful and pleasant one, but nothing will ever bring any more happiness than the days spent together at Floyd High. 4 Prophet--Doris Light -1r:'!2M f .Q :S .1 SH l' Q - --Q-.-.,,.x.
