Senior Class Poem We ' re leaving our school, our teachers, and friends. On our childhood we ' re closing the door. We seniors are entering a new phase of life. Taking with us our memories vast store. We ' ll always remember - how can we forget, ' Tho our days be a hundred and one; Our joys and sorrows, our failures, successes. And the satisfaction of jobs well done. We remember our shyness that first day of school When everything was strange and new. The trouble we had with our ABC ' s And the pictures the dunces drew. And on through the years like the leaves of a book. How fast the time seems to fly! We remember how envious we stood and watched As seniors of that day went by. So now WE are seniors - our goal has been reached; We ' re proud we ' ve come through with a will. But we ' ll cherish in memories our deam Alma Mater - Our school that stands on the hill. Yes, we ' ve come a long way, since we started that day. But we ' ve come through with colors a-flying. And this goes to show what we want you to know That there ' s really nothing like trying! So we ' re turning our backs on Big Island High - We ' ll each go our own separate way. The path of the future stretches wide for us. Which leads to a brighter day. - 9 - Joyce Collier Class Poet Class Prophecy I have a story to tell. After twenty years of scientific research at Mt. Everest Observatory, I decided to take a well-earned vacation at a re- sort hotel on Mars. While on this vacation I have the good fortune to find out about the mem- bers of the class of ' 53, many of whom I haven ' t seen since graduation. It is the year 1973. It is a morning in June, while on my trip to Mars, that I recognize Mary Reynolds, an old high school classmate, seated among the passengers aboard the spaceship. We immediately renew friendship, eager to find out what has happened to each other in the last twen- ty years. As we fly through the Universe, Mary tells me all about her political career. Yes, after graduation Mary entered the field of politics and became the first woman vice-president of the United States. Her three children, Connie, Betty Lou, and little Wilbur, named after the Maxwell family children of school-day plays, are mighty proud of Mama and from the gallery they watch her preside over the Senate. Time passes quickly as we recall many hap- py school-day experiences and we arrive on Mars, still full of the many questions we each had about the class of ' 53. We decided to eat lunch together at the new Qakwood Restaurant, one of an interplanetary chain of exclusive res- taurants owned by our senior sponsor. Miss Van Cleve. After lunch Mary and I take a jet taxi to the Happy Garden, a roller skating rink owned by Billy Booker. He claims that the gravity on Mars isn ' t as great at that on Earth which make s roller skating much more fun. You see, he told us, when you faU here you don ' t hit half as hard as you do on Earth. Talking with him a while longer, we found out about many wonderful machines which the people of Mars had invented. One, in particu- lar which interested us, was a new receiver with a three dimensional screen, which a friend of Billy ' s had invented. It gives the factual and pictorial life of anyone whose name you mention into its microphone. Eager to find out about our other classmates, we immediately visit the inventor, who gracious- ly lets us use the machine. After Alice Wilson ' s name is mentioned into the microphone, we become entranced with the vividness and reality of what we see. Alice, after winning a national baking contest, was ap- pointed head of the O. C. C. (Official Cooking Commission). While on one of her many official trips abroad she met Baron Von Martin, a for- mer classmate who had won distinction abroad. and after a whirlwind courtship, the couple were married in one of international society ' s biggest events. What about Jimmy Furr? asked Mary. Yes, we were eager to find out about Jimmy, voted the laziest boy in the Senior class. At the mention of his name a large baseball park ap- pears with huge neon lights blazing forth Furr ' s Field. This beautiful parkin the industrial city of Big Island is owned by Jimmy, who is mana- ger and pitcher of the Big Island Spitfires, the paper town ' s ball club, now a member of the Universal League. When the baseball season is over, Jimmy packs up and goes to Hawaii, where he relaxes with his beautiful wife, Marilyn Mon- roe. And who was voted the laziest girl in the Senior class? Mary asks. Dorothy Ballowe, I answer as I yell her name into the microphone. As her image comes into view, we see Doro- thy in an exclusive night club, playing the guitar and singing Too Old To Cut the Mustard, still a hit song. Dorothy, who owns her own televi- sion network, has made hillbilly songs popular everywhere and is in great demand all over America as an entertainer. Her television pro- gram received the Look Popularity Award. The next former classmate that the receiver picks up is Charlie Sanderson, who is now a famous movie star. His climb to stardom was spectacular, having first been spotted by a talent scout who saw him driving the school bus. His latest picture in which he co-stars with his beau- tiful wife, Beulah Grassnod, entitled Come Back Little Ring, won him an Academy Award as the best actor of the year. Another classmate whom we were particular- ly interested in was Patsy Mitchell, whose life begins to unfold on the screen. After winning beauty contests all over America, she won the title of Miss Universe. Then turning down nu- merous movie offers she decided to make ath- letics her career. Again she gained fame as a basketball star scoring 189 points in a single game. The publicity given her for her athletic triumphs won her the position of director of athletics at the University of California, a posi- tion which she still holds. As the life of Patsy began to fade on the screen we changed the scene immediately by the mention of Joyce Collier ' s name. A fashion salon appears and we find Joyce modeling a beau- tiful evening dress which she designed. Yes, as owner of the most exclusive dress shop in Paris, Joyce is really kept busy. She is mar- ried to Count Dimitri Dior and in spite of her career she finds time in private life to be the - 10 - perfect mother for her two little girls who really steal the show when they model some of Mama ' s creations. Elory Cornelius ' s life was the next that we wanted to see and in seconds we found ourselves looking at a distinguished looking gentleman wearing an army uniform with three stars on the shoulder. It was Brigadier-General Cornelius. After serving his country for twenty years Elory was retired from the army and had bought a 2500 acre estate known as Charlemont, where 1 he now relaxes from his military duties and raises kangaroos. We realize that we now know about everyone but Voorheis Wright. As the scene once again changes when her name is mentioned, we see a room in the United Nations building in New York. Voorheis is an interpreter there for the dele- gates from Afganistan, Indo-China, and the Bel- gian Congo, having acquired this post from her ability in foreign languages. It is said that she speaks eleven languages fluently. As the last scene fades, we reminisce and rejoice over the apparent success of our former classmates. After bidding our host and each other good-bye, Mary and I once again go our separate ways in life--though I hope it will not be another twenty years ' til we meet again. Now you have heard my story. It is a happy story - one filled with success and achievement. As I relax later at the resort hotel, I am aware of an inner feeling of contentment. How wonder- ful it was to find out that my former classmates had distinguished themselves so in their own chosen fields ! Class Prophets: Mary Reynolds Tommy Booker last Will We, the Senior Class of 1953, on our depar- ture from Big Island High School, in the County of Bedford, in the State of Virginia, possessing good common sense and the average amount of human intelligence, do make public and declare this to be our last will and testament. To Mr. Bird, our beloved principal, we wish to express our appreciation for his guidance through the years and wish him many more hap- py days here at B. I. H. S. To Miss Van Cleve, our Senior Class spon- sor, we leave fond memories of this, the most distinguished and brilliant class she will ever encounter, and our thanks for making our last year so very enjoyable. To Mrs. Oliver we leave a more prompt annual and paper staff and our sincere thanks for the fine work she has done on both. To Mrs. Thacker we leave a more co-oper- ative lunch room group. To Miss Harris we leave a more studious Latin and Chemistry class. To Mr. Oglesby we leave the ability for him to bring his young pupils up to be as brilliant as the Senior Class of ' 53. To Mr. Callahan we leave ' -- so that you can rest ! To the Junior Class we leave the Senior classroom with the new desks to have all to themselves and the privilege to be the first in the lunchroom line. To the Sophomore Class we will our good looks, quiet manners, and winning ways. To the Freshman Class we leave our witty ways and the prospect of becoming dignified Seniors. Patsy Mitchell wills her title of most con- ceited to Betty Goff and to Miss Harris all the Latin books at B, I. H. S. Voorheis Wright wills to Grace Day her am- bition to become a good housewife and the ability to keep her girlish figure. Alice Wilson wills her mischievous smile and twinkling eyes to Peggy Bulis. Mary Reynolds leaves her carefree ways to Rachel Farley and her ability to win friends to Norma Burks. Joyce Collier leaves her quiet manner and many talents to Joyce Camden. To Ellen Fitzgerald, Dorothy Ballowe wills her interest in hillbilly music and her many trips to the postoffice. To Macon Putney, Jimmy Furr wills his good looks and sense of humor and also wills his Furr System to Mr. Callahan. Billy Booker leaves his interest in Math to James Turpin and his ability to shake a leg to Earl Hensley and all the other Big Island boys. Elory Cornelius leaves his athletic ability to Leroy Arthur and all the geography books to Mr. Oglesby and the ninth grade. Tommy Booker wills his ability for fancy roller skating to Lloyd Phillips. What other abilities that he possesses he wishes to take with him. Charlie Sanderson leaves his way with the women and the hope that someone finds his class ring to Charles Casto.

Thinking of the distant June of 1954, we became a little frightened, wondering if we would reach the top, or how many class- mates would survive ' til graduation. Oh! that Halloween Party we attended, and remember -- some of us even attended the Junior- Senior Banquet. And the lucky people that made the Dramatic Club, Cheerlead- ers, and club activities. How time flies! Sophomores, we are -- yes, we think we are getting smarter every day. Some members dropping out on us, others reaching out for Basketball, Macon Put- ney winning distinguished honors in the Play Festival and the Ring Dance that will live long in our memories. Juniors!
