PfiOPHECy Of CLASS Of’51 Since I was graduated with the class of '51 from 'dear ole B. H. S., ' I have not seen any of my classmates. Ten years have elapsed and the only news of my old friends has been through letters. Tommy Davis has passed on some interesting items about those people with whom we spent so many happy years. Clyde Owens is the Coach for the State College football team, which has been undefeated for five years. Being the modest dear that Tommy is, he did not even mention that he is now the President of the Home Se- curity Life Insurance Company. I learned that a vacancy was left in Raleigh High School when their Principal, Mr. Albert Small, married his secretary, Jean Ball, in a double ceremony with Peggy Piver and Tom Wade. Immediately following Mr. and Mrs. Small's resignation, Mr. Bryan Loftin was appointed Principal, and Bernise Griffin secretary. Julian Piver used to say he would just be an educated bum when he finally graduated! I should have known better, but I was not at all surprised to learn that he is now a quarter back for the University of North Carolina. I was happy to learn that Patsy Mason, president of the Wild Life Club, featured as her main attraction last week the internationally known ukulele player, Betsy Fulford. Anna Lou Laughton certainly fooled me! I thought that Anna Lou, since she was the prettiest girl in our class, would go to Hollywood for a movie career. However, she is now married and has two sets of twins. Elizabeth Bell features the sweetest music this side of heaven on her Music Parlor every Friday night. Last week she presented one of the most famous crooners of the day--our own Bonzell Lewis. Elizabeth tells me that Shirley Lipman is now a model in Esquire Fashion , an exclusive bathing suit shop under the proprietorship, of Letty Eudy. Joyce Garner is the owner of the Sea-Dog Beauty Shop, at which Miss Christine Hansen is a weekly visitor. This is necessary to keep her blond hair blond. It seems that Miss Hansen is touring the country giving her famous talk on, How to Keep That School-girl Look. In high school, Lavenia Mason never could decide on which boy she liked the best. It looks iike she is still having that trouble. She has established an Old Maid's Home and broadcasts daily over W. C. K. Y. in Cincin- nati, Ohio, hex talk,on, How to Get Your Man in Three Easy Lessons. Rozella Smith has been coach of the basketball team of Beaufort High School for three years. Each year the team has won the State Championship Trophy. Last week Marie Cannon and Morgan White, two most famous comedians, appeared in person at the Beaufort Theater, which is owned by Mark Eubanks. Gordon Hardesty Jr. is the successful owner of the former Robert L. Rose Motor Company, where nothing but Chevrolet cars and trucks are sold. Billy Downum is a boy we could always depend on. He graduated with honors from Wake Forest College six years ago, and is now a minister in Goldsboro, North Carolina. I tuned in on the Our Best To You program in Raleigh, and heard Louis Noe and his fifty-piece orchestra. The American audience says that this is the best orchestra in the United States. The only difference between his and Tommy Dorsey's is that Louis's band included two girls--Carolyn Gaskill, pianist, and Faye Brooks, soloist. Alice Dudley always said she wanted to be secretary to the President of the United States. She saw her dream come true when Vincent Wright was inaugurated President on January third, in Washington, D. C. Margaret Lewis is head telephone operator in California. It is rumored that the bachelor, Joe Goodwin, sits constantly using the phone in hopes that he will hear her voice. He has recently finished a book entitled, Advice to the Bashful Boy. The Kur-em--Ur-Kill-em Hospital located in Beaufort, North Carolina is overflowing this year with good- looking male patients. Dr. Ivey Mason, brain specialist, believes that the crowded conditions are due to the nursing staff, consisting of Patsy Warren, Head Advisor; Dorothy Wallace, assistant advisor; and Genevieve Simp- son, head nurse. Dr. Mason is afraid the hospital's popularity will not last long, as one nurse is already married, and the other two engaged. It seems that Janice Willis is at the American Embassy in Peiping, China serving as private secretary to the Brigadier General, Arthur Stafford. I just heard that the title of Miss Fashion of '61 has been bestowed upon Janet Davis. She has been asked to go to New York to be in charge of a designing School. The two eminent scientists, Rudolph Rhue and Maxton Tosto, have returned from their trip to Pluto. They made many friends and intend to go back in a few months. Both men are bachelors, but since their trip it is rumored they have 'prospects'. What other reason would they have for going that far again? The $75,000.00 Model Home, located in Beaufort designed by the architect, Thomas Iverson, has been bought by Stewart Hill as his eighth wedding anniversary present for his wife, the former Jane Basden. Virginia Saunders is the stenographer for Mr. I. W. Davis Jr. who is now Sheriff of Carteret County. Oh yes, I almost forgot Carroll Ann Willis! I must admit I was surprised at her not becoming a champion tennis player--which she easily could have been. Now she is one of the prettiest matrons you'll see. And so this ends my account of the goals accomplished by the class of '51. I think our class did pretty well for itself. We caused much worry on the part of the faculty, but we really didn't mean to. We can truly say that we enjoyed our years at B. H. S. We were a happy crowd and still are. This marks the passing of a decade, ten years of golden memories. Memories that each of us will cherish for the rest of our lives. 19 Jean Taylor
