Class Testators: Betty Arthur Jean Harris Witnesses: Jackie Oliver Glenna Fifer TO THE CLASS OF ' 56 We ' ve reached the top rung in the ladder of school Where joy and sorrow ensue. We ' ve come a long way but just a small way With much left to do ere we ' re through. To each has been given a talent and a mind To make our task here well done. To each has been given a choice to make. . Our duty to do or to shun. We ' ll soon take our lives to where we see best To labor, to toil and to play. But may we remember our duty to do Before the close of each day. This world holds in store a place for us all Our destiny shines plain and clear. Our Father above grants us faith pure and free That our good works may ever adher To you is a challenge to meet every day For some day your life here will end. And then you must answer for all you have done. How has your life on Earth been? Class Poet Robert Perrow Taylor CLASS PROPHECY It was the summer of 1975 when I left my home in Hawaii and plunged into the Pacific to swim to the United States and visit all my old classmates. However, after swimming about two hundred miled I decided to continue by boat, which I found to be faster and a great deal easier. Upon arrival, my first stop was Burks ' Ford Motor Company where I was pre- sented a 1975 Ford convertible by Arthur Hugh Burks, owner of the Company. He was assisted by his wife, the former Emma Lou Sanderson. Their eleven children are all in high school or college. After a tour through the plant I continued south- ward, in my new Ford, to a huge sawmill. It was the G. D. Smith Lumber Company, of which Bobby Brown is General Supt., and his wife, the former Myr ene Ross, is head bookkeeper. My next stop was the David Mitchell Elementary School at Sedalia, of which Pendleton Shepherd is principal. He became principal of this school after resigning as assistant principal of Big Island High School. Soon he will go to Bedford to become principal of the new $6,000,000,000 County High School. lam certain he will be a great success. While at Mitchells ' School, I saw another of my classmates. Miss Edith Mae DeWitt. She has been teaching school for fifteen years. She is an Old Maid, but I think she has her eye set on Mr. Shepherd. While talking to Edith, I found that Glenna Fifer had become a professional basketball player. She has won many awards for her great playing. In her spare time she coaches at Mitchells ' School. Another of my former classmates. Professor Robert P. Taylor, who has made a name for himself in nuclear research, has just been awarded the Order of the Garter by the young King of England for inventing a gas which covers the British Isles so completely that they are impregnable from attack by any type of nuclear weapons. Robert has just given $4,000,000 to the Nuclear Research Laboratory. I know his name will live forever. After traveling a while, I stopped for gas at the Big Island Crossroads Garage of which the proud owner is Carl Arrington. He took over this job after retiring as Captain of the National Guards. From here I continued southward to Crocodiles Pond where I witnessed some fancy water skiing. One of the leading attractions was my classmate, Randolph Williams. He had won all trophies in the United States for water skiing, and will soon be crowned King of the Water Sports World. During the winter months, Randy designs high speed boats and airplanes at the C. Q. Boeing Aircraft Plant up North. After spending several weeks in Florida, I returned to Big Island and went on a tour of the huge new paper mill built by National Strainer Corporation. As I stepped into the main office there was Robert Williams seated behind a four by eight foot mahogony desk from which he directed the mill ' s operations assisted by his wife, capable secretary, who is the former Norma McNeely. While talking with Robert, I learned that Milton Sowell has become a world-wide evangelist. He is now preaching in Paris where he will stay for six weeks. He is a great person and I know he will continue in his good work. After leaving the mill, I visited Patria Manley who is now living at Parris Island, South Carolina Marine Base where her husband. Colonel Johnson is in command. Patria ' s oldest daughter is forward on the Parris Island High School basketball team, and her son is a great tackle on the V. P. I. football team. They named their home at Parris Island, Red Hill in memory of her childhood home, near Big Island. CLASS PROPHECY My next stop was to see another classmate, Jackie Oliver, now Mrs. Billy Tur- pin. After many years of medical study she has become a widely known physician. She is the owner of the new hospital, The William Turpin Memorial Hospital, which is located on Turpin ' s Hill. She is very happy in her married life, and is proud of her set of twins, Jackie and Billy. We know she will continue to be a success as a doctor. After leaving Jackie, I went to see Audrey Markham, who is now Mrs. John Riley. They own a thousand acre farm at Montvale, on which they have 700 head of cattle and 100 riding horses. The farm is located on Goose Creek Road. They are train- ing their two daughters, Mildred and Edith, to become great h o r s e ba c k riders. I know they will be a great success. Betty Arthur, another of my clas smates, has just received an award for the greatest actress of the year. Besides making movies she is now appearing on tele- vision. There is gossip that she is engaged to the movie actor, Reginold Wilson. My next stop was to see Shirley Tolley who is now Mrs. Lyle Breeden. Shirley and her husband are great hillbilly singers. They sing over the radio, and also appear on the Grand Old Opry , that is, when they can find a baby sitter for their triplets. During my visit at Shirley ' s I learned that Iris Routon had become a con- cert pianist. She has traveled all over the world appearing in operas, and also has just made a movie of her great life. I don ' t know, but I think she is taking Liber ace ' s place. The only thing she lacks is Brother George . I continued on my journey to see Jean Harris, who is now Mrs. Sonny McNeely. When she finished school Sonny was in the Navy, so she joined the Waves. They served five years overseas, and by this time they were longing to be back home, so after being discharged, they returned to dear old Big Island with their three sons and their daughter. Sunny Lee. As I started to leave, in walked Dottie Farley, who was visiting here. She has become a famous American artist and is married to a famous painter. Lord du Bonnet. With her were her four children who all have blond hair and blue eyes. She spends her summers on the coast of England and F ranee and her winters in Florida. As Dottie and I were talking I learned that Aline Tomlinson had married a rich bu-sinessman, Vernon Van Cleve, and has become a great dress designer. She designs and sews for her husband ' s huge clothing store in New York. During her spare time she works at a studio photographing models for Mademoiselle and Seventeen magazines. Besides all this, she leads a highly social life. Last but not least, I guess I had better give an account of myself, Phyllis Turpin. I am President of the Business and Professional Women ' s Club of Virginia. I own a large store and farm machinery business at Charlemont, the hub of a thriving Air Force station and radar center. My farm at Lone Pine is now being purchased by DuPont for $10,000,000 since uranium and m a n g a n e s e were discovered there. After taking care of my business here I plan to return to Hawaii.
