is. 1-wr f. ' YQ The world almos topped turning that warm, pretty autumn day in 1947 when a large group of dressed-up cry babies - tered the first grade 1. Some couldn't think of letting Mama out of their sight., Without having aj' conception of what our school life was to be, we sailed through grammar school. . We will never et our fourth grade, because it was then that our class went to WCKB in Dunn and gave a program L , ut some of the t gs we had learned in social studies. Howard Taylor was president of our class, Stuart Gardner, Vice- Pr fdent, and Do Denning- was secmretary. With the help of our teachers, Miss Ruth Langdon and Mrs. Zula Tudor, we wo ' 4 trip to Ch M3 Night Program. , . the eig gvgg de we were prepared for the ninth gftiifleibiyalflgs.

Our ei 't years of s ai lin g had been successful and had provided a background for the knowledge that we were to gain as Y ., S ' 1 4. ff 1 ' L I high sc ol students. On V. ay 28, the earl .fall to 1955, we docked our ship for three months which seemed more like three days. We lifted our aneihors in soon discover we had already acquired the traditional nickname, Green Freshmen. You ould probably have classed us as being headaches to our teachers, but we tried to be a very promising group, and we acco lished it with the help and guidance of Mr. Thomas Zachary and Mrs. Martha Mincey. 1 After nother three-month vacation, we continued our educational voy ag e by entering the Sophomore clags. Under the guidan 1- of Mrs. Pearle McCall and Mr. Jesse R. Rhue, we lived down our nickname, Wise Fools, as best we could. How uld we e ve r forget those surgeries we performed on the frogs, earthworms and cray fish? Mrs. McCill helped us to be a ,ccessful group in that biology course. f With p :,' Q, cil the influencg of CLASS HISTORY and paper serving as a compass we were directed to our third year in high school-our junior year. Under Mr. Charles McGee fcould you be at that, and Mr. Banks, we be g an to see the importance of attaining our goal-toflmake our lives fuller and more worthwhile. Mr. Cyrus Griffin was also one of our sponsors that yeair. With Hograr d Taylor again as President, Stuart Gardner, Vice-President, Ann johnson, Secretary, and Frank Woodley, Treasurer, wdgfound our spirits much higher. T To raisesfxoney that year we h ad many different projects: sponsoring dances, giving a variety show, sponsoring a barbecue supgr Jointly with the Seniors, and picking cotton. The junii'-Senior Banquet, which had been one of our greatly anticipated prog r ams for the year, was given to the Seniors on Map, 9, 1958. Our theme, Re nde zvous With the Stars, was a thrilling success. We enjoyed decorating the lunchroom for he banquet almost as much as we did the banquet itself. gf All too s , strive for highf Did some last.

CLASS PROPHECY TIME: 1969 PLACE: Moon As I stand here on the Moon and gaze back at the Earth I realize how true.the saying was that the Senior Class of '59 was really out of this world. Ten years later, when the government asked for volunteers for an experimental moon expe- dition, our class met and agreed to go. I have just arrived, but I see that many of my classmates are a lre ady here and settled down. The first one I see is HOWARD TAYLOR, as he comes closer, I see he is we aring a pin that reads Vote for Taylor. He tells me he is busy trying to defeat FAYE WILKES as president of the Moon Empire. F aye wishes to make history as being the first woman president. Howard said he and Faye aren't the only two politicians in our class since RACHEL OGBURN is busy campaigning to defeat LEWIS HAYES as mayor of Beamgier, the firstjcityestablished on the Moon. However, I don't think the election is going too well since both Rachel and Lewis have 4f'i beenkaccused ofdusiiigfill,ega1 campaign methods. Some say that Rachel gives freelmoonffsh to the voters since Vshetbwnshthe biggest moonfish pond around Beamgier. Others claim that Lewis lets the voters play pool free in Hayes Bialfilard Helly-'liodeated on Stardust Avenue in Beamgier.

Linda is in charge of the section which displays snakes and other reptiles while Sue Gail is in charge of the section which displays remains of Moon life hundreds of years ago. I see LeVONDA STEPHENSON and PEGGY EASTWOOD coming over now. They are chemistry teachers at Moon State College. I see LeVonda has her hand bandagee-1.up. She tells me she has a do-it-yourself chemistry set, but has come to the conclusion she should read the directions before using it. Who is this with the long sad face? Why, it's PEARL MATTHEWS. I asked her why she is so sad and she tells me she has heard of the man in the Moon a.nd is disappointed in not having seen him. You'd think she'd be pleased after working for the YMCA for the past ten years. Well, who were they? I mean those little g re en men with the antennas on their heads, I don't believe they were in our class! SUE STEPHENSON Class Prophetess
