CLASS PROPHECY Well, I guess it's the gypsy in me--I don't know any other reason why they chose me to fore- tell the class prophecy. I will now gaze into this crystal ball to see what the future holds for this grand class of '57.

The armed forces has its share, including Jerry Lee Apple, CecilAshley, and Wayne Brann. They are really making a career of it. Faye Greene is teaching voice lessons in Greensboro. Russell Barber is the owner and operator of an Esso Service Station in Gibsonville. The multi-millionaires are none other than Joe Bishop andMaynard I-Iuffines.

Sarah Summers Historian On September of 1952, thirty-eight boys and girls gathered on the pier prepared to start on a four year Cruise to Graduation Port. The main object of this Cruise was the pursuit of know- ledge. As our ship, the Mon-Echo, steamed out of Freshman Harbor, we got down to business, com- bining work with pleasure. We were fortunate in having Mr. Sills as our guide along with our officers for the Freshman journey. They were: President, Peggy Bashamg Vice President, Shir- ley Brown, S e c r e ta r y, Sarah Summersg and Treasurer, Shelby Hardy. For our motto we chose: Don't try dying, die trying, and for our class flower we chose the Gardenia. When we anchored in Sophomore Harbor there was a marked decrease in our number. After electing class officers which were, Presi- dent, Garnes Rumleyg Vice President, Jimmy Faucetteg Secretary, Raynita Conkling and Trea- surer, Lloyd Tucker, we settled down to a more peaceful journey in search of greater wisdom and understanding. Mr. Sills must have enjoyed our company so he again was our guide along with Mrs. Crutchfield. We stopped at Junior Port long enough to let a few students off and elect Rita Roach, Presi- dent: Jackie Brown, Vice Presidentg Shelby Hardy, Treasurerg andShirley Brown, Secretary. To work with us, we had Mrs. Sanders. , CLASS HISTORY Thirty started on the trip from Junior Port to Senior Harbor. There was a lot of hard work to be done before this trip was completed. Our Junior-Senior Banquet was held April 20, 1956, at Starmount Forest Country Club. This was very successful. Everyone enjoyed giving the Junior Play, Leave It To Us. I know that we will never forget the good time we had at Mrs. Sanders'house after the play. The highlight of our Junior year was when we received our class rings. Thirty proud Seniors reached Senior Harbor andproceeded on toward our goal. Student lead- ers were President, Rita Roachg Vice President, Henry Lambethg S e c r e t a r y and Treasurer, Glenda Murrell and Shirley Brown, and our ad- visor was Mr. Black. Inthis voyage our main objectives were the Senior play and publishing our annual, the Mon Echo. We began to look forward to the banquet, which the Juniors would give us and last but not least Graduation. We have finally reached the end of our voyage, anchored here in Graduation Port. I am sure we will never forget the past four years at M-H-S. Although, we may never have a place in History books, it will hold its place in the heart of each graduating Senior. We would like to thank our teachers, parents and friends for making this a very pleasant and successful journey.
