CLASS PROPHECY February 14, 2965 Dear Editor-in-chief: I am sitting here by the fire, thinkingback over my senior year in high school and my friends, and I am wondering what they are doing now. I wonder how many of them have been content to remain on the farm like me. I see in today's news that Hester Martin's New York Yankies' Team won its first game of the season. Peggy Love Jones is still head nurse at the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. We have just heard that Carrie Lee Philbeck is the mother of twelve mus- cular sons. John Jarret will make an important decision on one of his many cases as judge of a local court tomorrow. Harold Weaver and Lavinia Burgin, who are now Mr. and Mrs., are very happy with their little arm. Reese Honeycutt is now a Science teacher in one of our better colleges. We now see that Steve Holland has just joined the staff of John Hopkins Hos- pital as a brain surgeon. Imogene Horton has recently passed her screen test for the movies and Peggy Self has become a well-known model. Fritz Blankenship is now an Admiral in the Navy, and is having a new ship christened. Everett Ledbetter and Ethel Blanton are now Mr. 8: Mrs. Everett Ledbetter, and have just completed their new farm house. Everyone knows the chief dishwasher of the Cleveland Sandwich Shop. He is Glenn Powell, of course. Dorothy Williams is now washing dishes and diapers for her twin girls. Dewitt Hamrick, Ir. has become the most eligible bachelor in these parts. Velma Ledbetter is now a telephone operator. Sue Hammett picked a very exciting career. She is an Air Line Stewardess. Frances Allen studied hard and is now teaching English at Wake Forest College. Wayne Earls is driving a bus for Duke Power Company in Charlotte, and Betty Lew McSwain is a bookkeeper for the same company. Arland Greene is working hard as vice-president of the Union Trust Company. , Ava Potter has become a singer and has her own show on television. Billie Hawkins has become a basketball coach at one of our leading colleges. Mary Frances George and Peggy Hamrick have become very good business women and have opened a dress shop which is a success. Johnnie Mae Smith has become a private secretary. She is happy with her work because she has a very good looking boss. Clyde Bowens is now a star major league pitcher. Well, it looks like they have all done pretty well for themselves. These past fifteen years haven't been easy ones either, going through another war, but now we can rest easy for awhile and hope for as much success in the future as we have won in the past. Sincerely yours, Class Prophet of 1950 David Hamrick 12

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY- 1950 In July, 1946, we began to plow through our four wonderful years of High School, beginning our class with fifty-six members. Mr. Dan Moore, Jr. saw us through our first year as our home room teacher. At the end of our freshman year, we enjoyed a class party. We had a weiner roast and afterwards Mr. Moore treated us to a delightful evening of skating. During our second year, we were lucky to have Mr. Moore for our home room teacher again, beginning this class with forty-six members. We had lost several old classmates and had gained only one new one. That year our boys won the basketball tournament, Mr. Moore entertained our Sophomore class and our guests at a very enjoyable swimming party and weiner roast at Sunshine Lake. Even a smaller number entered our Junior Class, we had only forty members. Miss Dorothy Sue Hamrick was our home room teacher. We, as Juniors, worked very hard to give the Seniors the banquet, Hitch Your Wagon To A Star, which we thought was quite successful. The Juniors presented a play The Marlenburg Necklace, the first mystery to be given at B. S. for several years. We were very proud of our basketball teams, both the boys and the girls, again that year because of their excellent showing in the grade tournament. They came out as champions. This year we began our Senior year with thirty-six members of our class. At present our enrollment is thirty-two. Mrs. Unie Hamrick is seeing us through this our last year in High School, the year to which we have been looking for- ward for such a long time. We have excitedly awaited the time when we would have the honor of being called Seniors and now it is upon us. We are eagerly looking forward to the Junior and Senior banquet, but most of all is the final step, that very important night when we will achieve the goal toward which we have worked a.nd have waited so long, Our Own Diplomas!
