The next guest of our Seniors of 52 is Miss Nina Pownall, a clothes designer for short, stout women. She is about to open her own shop and will call it “Nina’s Neat Notions for Naturall Fat Women.” She has brought along with her several of her designs and models. For her new building she has contracted Lane Oakman, a carpenter, to build it. Lane will show you his blueprints which are very original. Here is Glenn Milleson, another student at Shepherd College, who doesn’t seem to have any girl troubles. He now has a new car that is constantly packed with girls and it seems he has finally lost that nick- name of “Blushes.’’ Many of you that have called this station have heard the pleasing voice of our station telephone operator, Miss Doris Bohrer. She will tell you of the guy that has the dreamy voice over the phone. He answered when she asked, ‘Number please, that talking number will do,” so she hnug up on him. Louise Kerns, the cafeteria cashier in high school, could not get away from the habit of having a cash box handy and is now working in the A. P. Market. If anyone wishes to know about the high prices of foods just ask Louise. The next two were the best of friends during high school and now work together in Cumberland. Dollie Beam and Wilma Twigg were the quietest and most talkative of the class, Wilma doing the talking and Dollie the listening. I wish to thank each Senior fon being on my program. Oh! I almost forgot! What about our Sponsor, Small? Here he is, Ladies and Gentlemen, still teaching at Fort DSH Be High, our favorite homeroom teacher, Mr. Thomas Small. We will close the program by having another graduate of °52, Hazel Bosley, a Bible School student at the Eastern Bible Institute, lead us in a moment of prayer.” Class Poem Farewell, Fort Ashby, for life is at its morning, From daily strife of High School, We all must go away! Farewell, from daily school-day smiles and tears, To grow in wisdom as in years, And face life earnestly—and now away. Farewell, dear old school! Farewell, life’s happy mor ning; [It grieves the heart when class mates part, But we must go away. For life has duties to be done, And every day till set of sun, Must be lived loyally-—so now away. —Doris Bohrer Class Motto Class Colors Class “Scarlet and White” “ver Climbing” Class Song (Tune: “Blue Moon”) So long to ole Fort Ashby High, o all the teachers and students, We bid a cheery goodby. And though gayly we enter our future, Many memories dear we'll always hold, And the friends we've made together Will seem to us as gold. So long, though we are proud to be leav- ing, Each one is secretly grieving, Way down deep in their heart. Beverley Shirley s Flower “White Carnation”

Class Prophecy Hello! Everyone! This is Television Station FAHS situated in the very heart of Fort Ashby, West Virginia. Tonight we are having one hour of special guest stars. Along with these stars are housewives and work- ing people in all fields. The Master of Ceremonies tonight is none other than the famous radio announcer, Donald Kenney, president of the Senior Class of ’52 from our local high school. “Good evening and thank you, sir. All of our guests tonight, like myself, are graduates of 52 from Fort Ashby High. Each will contribute some small bit of enjoyment for you listeners. We will start the show by introducing that now famous singer, Lois Dayton, giving her special rendition of “Blue Moon,” our old class tune. Our next guests are some working gals. First we will interview Miss Elizabeth Anderson, Martinsburg, a receptionist in the Newton D. Baker Hospital, who spen ds all her spare time on the Shepherdstown Campus, Next, is Wilda Wyer, working in Ohio and boarding with her brother and his family. Miss Doris Long, her assistant and sister-in-law, the former Miss Beverley Shirley, are two of the few successful businesswomen in this area. They have established a roller-skating rink and are here to show you how to master the art of the skater’s two-step. Our list now includes two boys in navy blue. We are proud to salute the Navy’s enlisted men, Emory Shriver and Gene Ault, who will give an impersonation of a day in the life of a sailor. Jackie Miller, the world’s heavy weight champion, managed to stop here for the night while enroute to Madison Square Garden. He will now demonstrate the left upper cut on his manager, Bruce Bosley, formerly known as “Muscles.” Eunice Watts, the typical housewife, is here to give a talk on “How to Please Your Husband.” She is studying music at night under the tute- lage of Mr. Boosiesaldoydebush of Chicago. A college man is now standing before me. He is none other than Rich- ard Lyons, a student of Social Behavior, attending Harvard. He has an article, “How to Please a Lady,” and will give his idea on the subject. He was quite a ladies’ man in high school. I wonder if he practices what he preaches? Here are those men that provide that fresh fruit we buy in town. Harry Seeders and James Kenney will tell you, from experience, the best time to put up scarecrows and post “No Hunting” signs and the reasons why. , I know all of you have ridden on the blue and white buses of Elder’s Transit Lines.” I am proud to present, Mr. Kay Elder, the owner, who will issue fifteen free bus tickets to the best looking single girls who promise him a date. Flora Shipman, who we consider one of the best letter writers in that field, is about to publish a book entitled, “My Personal Experience as a Letter Writer.” She will now exhibit the types of paper used in letter writing. She learned this while in business school. Ruth Rexrode and Anna Bosley have acquired the job of studio librarians, and if they talk low, bear with them while they tell some of their experiences. The B. and O had a job for Jack Frankland the day he graduated, but has just recovered from the celebration of graduation just last month, so has been working only a short while. He will try to explain how it feels to be a high school graduate. ————
