He owns and operates one of the largest farms in Virginia. Jimmy Hylton is still working as Miss Brown’s “test tube”. They are now doing ex- tensive research on the atomic bomb. Looks like the Class of ' 53 has an Einstein, The “round chase” of 1963 is Nancy Waddle chasing Curtis Lester and Robert Morris chasing Nancy Waddle. We never could understand why Nancy and Robert never hit it off so well. Jo Ann Morehead finally succeeded in getting Jimmy Pauley. They think Bastian is just the place for “newlyweds’ . Dewayne Kitts and Raymond Lambert are nowin Alaska raising polar bears and chasing Eskimo women. John Wayne Pennington is now playing at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. His latest hit is the “Pennington Boogie”. Roger Morehead is really living. Right now he is in Tennessee playing for the “Grand Ole Opera’’. From the way gossip travels it looks as though he and “Minnie Pearl” are really hitting it off. Betty Jean Chandler, waitress at the “Brus h Mountain Drive-in”, really keeps those service boys in line. Dayton Ramsey is very heartbroken because Doris Tomlinson is now Mrs. Junior King. Doris says being a “Fuller Brush” salesman’s wife is just the “stuff”. W. R. Dillow, one of Radford College brainest professors, thinks there is nothing like teaching at a girl’s school. Jean Kimberling plans to marry a soldier by the name of Ray as soon as she finishes her last basketball game in New York. Since Junior Sarver and Peggy Waddle vowed to never break up, she is now happily married to a college professor. It’s hard to believe that Junior is still single. Richard Baker is really going places with those “big hands”. He can make anything from a table to a ten story building. Mary Ella Mann, a white capped nurse, is really keeping folks from riding in a hearse. Donald Kidd is now president of the Ladies Bus Drivers Club. He thinks there is nothing like working with women. Nadine Lambert, as Mrs. Wayne Bridges, is a very efficient housekeeper. Johnny Stafford is the biggest banker in Bland County. We always knew he would take his father’s place. Kathleen Muncy, after training at Pulaski Hospital, is now working for the Kegley Clinic . Betty Bruce and Sue Ann Kidd are top Air force officers. We see they are still sticking together. Shirley Temple Patton is now finishing her last picture at M.G.M. Studios. Tommy Morehead who has received his M.D. after 10 years of training is moving into the Kegley Clinic soon. David Dunn is spending a Jewish Holiday in Florida. He plans to return soon and take over the Bastian Sportswear. Barbara Bane’s remarkable talent as a pianist has placed her on a popular T. V. Pro- gram called the “Concert Hour”. Polly Shewey is now private secretary to Mr. Curry at Bland Hosiery Mill. Eddie King is having trouble getting his children to attend school. It’s no wonder Eddie spent half of his time loafing. Last but not least. Glamour and Screwball, the two pests of Bland High, are making something of themselves. They are on a T.V. Program called the “Shooting Screwballs ’. Sara Betty Muncy Louise Puckett SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Seniors of 1953, would like to review for you some of the high lights of our history during the four years we have spent in Bland High School. When our class entered school as Freshmen we were a group of enthusiastic, eager, and ambitious students with never a doubt that life would run smoothly for us. We entered with fifty- two members strong. Mr. Smith, our principal, gave us Mrs. Annie K. Dunn for our home room teacher, which pleased us greatly. First she helped us organize our class with the following officers: President Floyd Taylor Vice-President Sue Ann Kidd Secretary-Treasurer Kathleen Muncy Reporter Sara Betty Muncy Home Room Representative Barbara Bane We did not escape the usual tortures of the Sophomores which have become a tradition in all schools. We accepted their tantalizing as a part of the high school game and were none the worse for it. The Freshmen year with all its difficulties had passed very quickly. At the beginning of our Sophomore year sixteen members of the class did not come back. Some moved away, a few had to stop school to go to work and others were lured away by outside interests. The number that returned was thirty-six. Our class officers for our Sophomore year were: President Kathleen Muncy Vice-President David Dunn Secretary-Treasurer Barbara Bane Reporter Eddie King Home Room Representative Peggy Waddle Many of our members turned out for basketball this year, as we had become more grown-up. Again we had Mrs. Annie K. Dunn as our home room teacher. Now we will see what took place in our Junior year. We returned in September 1951 as upperclassmen- Juniors. A deeper sense of responsibility had seized us, and we assumed the air of having big things to accomplish, so we began our cam- paign at once. It was our Junior year that we looked forward to the day we should receive our class jewelry and also the Junior-Senior Banquet which turned out very successful. Our class officers were: President Sue Ann Kidd Vice-President Kathleen Muncy Secretary-Treasurer Peggy Waddle Reporter Sara Betty Muncy Home Room R epresentative Betty Bruce At the close of the Junior year we chose two boys and two girls to attend Old Dominion Boys State and Virginia Girls State. They were David Dunn, Dewayne Kitts, Betty Bruce and Mary Ella Mann. We entered the Senior year with thirty-four members. We felt a great sense of dignity and responsibility. Our class officers were as follows: President John Lundy Vice-President Mary Ella Mann Secretary-Treasurer Peggy W addle Reporter Barbara Bane Mr. Gilly, our principal, gave us Mrs. Helen P. Hardy for our home room teacher. She proved a great help as class sponsor and “The Echo sponsor. Some interesting high lights during the senior year were: Senior girls and sponsor had pictures taken in drapes for school annual. A number of seniors attended a football game at Charlottesville in October. The Junior-Senior Banquet was the out- standing social event of the year. Several one-act plays including the “Pink Dress” to enter the play festival and the Senior Play were outstanding events during the Senior year. All too soon the time came for making commencement plans, as all good things must come to an end, our class must separate, but each member will carry with him these traits, accom- plishments and influences that Bland High has given him. S ue Ann Kidd Doris Tomlinson CLASS WILL We, the senior class of Bland High School, County of Bland and State of Virginia being of unsound mind and disintegrating memory cifter four strenuous years, do here- by make, publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills, bequests and devices of whatever nature by us already made.
