FLOWER Rose COLORS Blue and White CLASS POEM By Roland Stacey The Road of Life There's a road we all must follow In the life we lead today, A road where some find sorrow Because they are lead astray. A road that seems each year To lengthen a little bit, And to shallow souls brings fear, While others delight in it. Daily in this road temptations grow To block the narrow trail That like the bubbling brook does flow To our Father's Holy Grail . So as you follow the road called life, Be sure of the road you take, For in one can be found a happy life, While the other is only a fake. CLASS PRAYER BY PEGGY JOYCE Dear God: We stand unfinished before Thee, realizing Thy power and Thy goodness. May this faith be strengthened as we meet the challenge of a different life. We pray that the will to progress mentally and spiritually will continue to flourish in each of our varied live s. Teach our inexperienced eyes and hearts the beauty of Thy world that we may not know hate not envy, but learn that Life has Loveliness to Sell . Forever keep us within Thy fold, we humbly pray. 14 Amen CLASS PROPHECY BY SHIRLEY COOKE Here it is 1970 and the time for the '52 class reunion has finally arrived. Like the classes before us, we have each gone our separate ways only to return and be together again. They are arriving now, so lets take a look to see how time has molded the lives of each of us -- Jane Coble met her husband, Lawrence, me at the skating rink where they immediately fell in love. They are now the world's greatest skating team. Thelma Buckner is now making a success of her lifelong ambition to be an artist. Maybe you've seen the clever little drawings in the Esquire. Betty Williamson's vocal talent has sent her on the road to stardom. Her success is primarily due to her manager and new husband, Marvin Miller. None other than Don Murchison leads the national record in running, passing, punting and brilliant defense play. Don has paved the way for the House of David football team to their 10th consecutive world championship. Garland Boaz has really stepped up in this old world. Just who do you think is turning out all those delicious meals at the White House? He and his wife, Ruby (only twice his age), have become Washington socialites. Josh Harris, acclaimed as the best tobacco grower in the south, has just introduced a new farming system to the agricultural colleges. Sue Brown, Bessemer's lanky star forward has really made a name for herself in the athletic field. She's playing pivot for the nationally known Globetrotters. Peggy Joyce, our little nurse, has turned her profession into a home nursery. Peg has eleven boys. Although she always wanted a football team of her own, that was when 6-man football was in existence. It's lucky thing the Joe Dimaggio dropped out of the baseball limelight when he did. He wouldn't have stood a chance with Bessemer's Home Run King, Earl Simpson, making baseball history, swinging his mighty bat. Sallie Murray, Bessemer's own love 'em and leave 'em gal, is now starring in Broadway's biggest hit, How Could This Happen To Me. Roland Stacey, our class poet, who has always been able to make any old line rhyme, is now making them reach from pole to pole. Duke Power is the business address of this young man. Calvin Strickland, our Spotlight editor, has made journalism his career, and circulation of the Beacon has increased 100% since he took over. Ramona Evans is now leading a quiet life as wife of a country Minister. She hasn't much time for outside activities since minding 7 boys is quite a job. We hardly recognized Bryant Cummings as the prosperous young lawyer from Philidelphia, who has just cleared himself of a forgery charge. The famous model who is coming back to her home town for the '52 class reunion is no other than Marjorie Hayes. Marge is an added attraction to Powers Modeling Agency. Did Admiral Byrd really discover the North Pole? We wonder if the credit doesn't belong to Admiral Elray Boyd who has shown the U.S. Navy a few of his nautical abilities. We figured Marion Oakes would enter the textile business when he grad- uated, but we were mistaken! Monk holds the position of Vice-President in a well-known lumber company here in Bessemer. Senator Clyde Smith has created quite a stir in Washington this year and the final vote was 452-1 to have him placed in exile. The sign on his chair now reads gone fishing . Bob Wooten with his bathing beauty figure has shaped us his own physical culture school, listed in the phone book as Hercules' School of Muscles. You've probably heard of the great chain of drug stores that employs only men. Well, Doris Griffin is the owner and don't think she doesn't have an active interest in her business. 15 Jo Anne Hobby has made millions displaying her fabulous Hope Diamond with the Ringling Brothers Circus. Marlene Long is employed by Mojud Hosiery, and instead of manufacturing hose, she’s modeling them. Marlene's legs are known to be the shapliest that ever donned a pair of hose. Peggy McCurdy, the only woman ever known to own a baseball club, has really put some spark in the Dodger Champs for the last three years. Erika Nau married one of her wealthy patients, but could not bear to leave her position as superintendent of nurses at John Hopkin's. Many of the latest Hollywood fashions have been designed and created by our own Ruth Blake, who has made her first million off young-clothes-minded starlets. All the dog lovers will be relieved to hear that Vetenarian, Jenny Rogers is flying home to continue practice in Greensboro. In her spare time she plans to write a book on her pet dogs. Shirley Cooke, Bessemer's biggest liar and fastest talker, has already sold the Brooklyn Bridge three times and has almost succeeded in selling New York back to the Indians. You've probably noticed the crowded conditions on local busses and trains. The reason is the Billie Cooper got her flying license and it just ain't safe in the air anymore. Mary Smith and her husband are teaching little feet to march to-the beat of drums. You've turned on your radio and heard a familiar voice ring out, Eat your Wheaties and look like me. Of course you have, and it's not other than Harry Wheatie-pie Patterson. Eddie Oakes got caught for illegal gambling so many times that he finally had to become Chief of Police in order to stop the raids on his bookie joint. Donald James, the skilled surgeon from New York, has just found a new way of entering the brain, by way of the feet. It's not difficult in Don's case. The world's bravest game hunter has just returned from another of his expeditions in South Africa. The weird animals at the Battleground Zoo are all Capt. Howard O'Ferrell's contributions. It is rumored that the speed demon James Fry will sign with Joey Chitwood some time next month, providing he can get his license back. Gerald Pike has opened his own fruit stand on Times Square. He takes frequent trips to Hiawii, supposedly to purchase fresh fruit , but we hear he makes quite an impression on the hula gals. Dottie Bryant has time off from her busy office routine to complete the series of articles on the woman you should be. Teddy Starr has taken over the role of Baby Snooks and has become a prosperous young radio Starr. Ralph Swing, who is with the Boston Red Socks, is down South looking over the likely prospects. By the way Ralph, women pitchers are not allowed in the majors. Howard miracle man Burney has just returned from his latest successful scientific expedition. Howard wanted to see if the moon were really made of green cheese. Delmar Wood, the inventor of the pushbutton controlled car is sueing John Cranford for using his patent to develop a hot-rod. Julia King has led a calm life at home with her two darling boys, and has even taken leisure time to write four best sellers. A direct descendent of Florence Nightingale is our own Sue Ellis. Sue makes a very gracious picture as a woman in white. Doris Manuel who was shy, and quiet in her high school days, is now the loudest girl in Hollywood. She is now featured with the three stooges at the Carolina. 16 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT BY DONALD MURCHISON Bessemer High School City of Greensboro County of Guilford We, the Senior Class of 1952, being of sound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last Will and Testament; hereby rendering all wills and bequests of and previous date null and void.

As first-grade students, we were shy and bewildered but during the next three of four years, we began to feel our own strength as we groped along the path of knowledge. Furthermore, we participated in such vigorous games as jumping rope, hop scotch, marbles, relay races, and post office. It was in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades that many romances developed which have lasted until this good day. Boys and girls began to regognize each other as friends, and not as someone to pick on and taunt. The highlights of these years came with the end-of-school picnics, when we were allowed to go to such far-away-places as the Battleground and O'Ferrell's lake. It was during the year when we were in the eighth grade that we char- tered a bus and went to Raleigh. We visited such places as the Capitol Building, Andrew Johnson’s home, and the museum. Everybody had a wonderful time and it was a tired group of boys and girls who returned home late that evening. In our Freshman year, we felt that we really belonged to Bessemer High. We were allowed to change classes for the first time which we considered a great privilege. We even had a Junior Varisty Basketball team, made up of such up and coming players as Erika Nau, Sue Brown, Jenny Rogers, Shirley Cooke, and Billie Cooper. When we became Juniors, a number of the students in our class be- came members of the Beta Club, the Dramatics Club, the Newspaper Staff, and the Annual Staff. Vera Sue Ellis, Peggy Joyce, Marjorie Hayes, Sally Murray, and Betty Williamson showed great promise in acting when they stepped before the footlights in the school play, Pigtails. The big event of our Junior Year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which we gave at the Starmount Country Club in the honor of the Seniors. Juniors themselves designed the tiny pastel umbrellas and umbrella ladies which provided a very colorful setting for our April Showers theme. To make the theme more realistic the weather came through with a genuine shower. Even rain failed to dampen our jubilant spirits, however. That April night will neven be forgotten by the class of 51 and 52. Our school years have been happy and interesting ones and we feel that this dynamic class of 52 will make the world a better place in which to live. 18 SUPERLATIVES ■bdtew.. • N • v ■ � � BEST-ALL-AROUND Donald James and Peggy Joyce LAZIEST Howard O'Ferrell and Billie Jean Cooper BIGGEST LIARS Garland Boaze and Shirley Cooke WITTIEST Howard Burney and Jenny Rodgers 19 SUPERLATIVES BEST DRESSED Thelma Buckner and Marion Oakes MOST ATHLETIC Harry Patterson and Sue Brown MOST POPULAR Sallie Murray and Calvin Strickland MOST CONCEITED Donald Murchison and Doris Griffin 20 SUPERLATIVES Clyde Smith and Dottie Bryant BEST PERSONALITY Judy King and Eddie Oakes MOST TALENTED Roland Stacy and Erika Nau BATHING BEAUTIES Bobby Wooten and Jo Anne Hobby 21 SUPERLATIVES MAN AND WOMAN HATERS Ruth Blake and Josh Harris BIGGEST BABIES Teddy Starr and Marjorie Hayes QUIETEST Gerald Pike and Doris Manuel BIGGEST APPLE POLISHERS Jane Coble and Ralph Swing 22 BOBBY SHEPPARD President BOBBY HATLEY Vice-President MARGARET ALLEN Secretary-T reasurer -TV JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS BASIL ANDERSON JIMMY ALLEN MARGARET ALLEN ---i— SHIRLEY BLAKE CHARLES BROWN IDA CARR IVA MAE CARRICO FOREST CRANFORD JEAN CARRUTHERS BILL COBB BILLIE JEAN COLE ANN COLLINS 24 DOROTHY ELLIOTT SUE FRIDDLE CHARLES FRY PEGGY GIBSON SONNY GIBSON WANDA HALL BOBBY HATLEY I I JEAN HARRIS SYLVIA HARRIS DOUGLAS CRENSHAW MICKEY DAWKINS DORTHY EAST ............ • P ELEANOR HEATH HERMAN HILLIARD HAZEL HOBBS GLENN JACKSON BOBBY JOHNSON CLIFTON LEMONS NANCY LEONARD HORACE LOWDARMILK JIMMY LYON r Ir LOUELLA MYERS DEAN PEARSON 26' RAYMOND PENNINGTON VONDA WEST RUTH THOMPSON PATRICIA THOMAS LULA MAE SUTPHIN HAROLD SMITH CHARLES SMITH ARNOLD SMITH CHARLES SPIVEY JACK SIMPSON BOBBY SHEPPARD HARVEY SHELLEY BOBBY RICH 27 MICKEY WILLIAMS BILL COBB Head Marshall MICKEY WILLIAMS JUNIOR MARSHALLS 28 NAMONI WILSON DOROTHY WOODARD NANCY WOOTEN MICKEY WRENN NONA YOUNG ELEANOR HEATH MARGARET ALLEN SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Johnny Oakes President June Wyrick President Tracy Griffin Vice President Frank Phillips Vice President Mrs. Cobb’s Riley Montgomery Secretary Barbara Swaim Secretary Treasurer Mr. Festa’s Homeroom Homeroom Bobbie Andrews Treasurer Jo Anne Pilkenton Program Chairman 29 RAYMOND CAUDLE FRANCES CAUSEY BETTY CHRISTDON CHARLES B.

Proud that the teachers are not only interested in the subjects taught but also even more interested in the pupils they are teaching. Proud that “book-larning” alone is not taught but that the pupil is taught honor, discipline and pride in right living which reflects in their later lives. Proud that the athletic teams are successful in winning games but also- what is more important — are intent on playing the game fair. Our agency takes pleasure in honoring BESSEMER STANDARDS.
