OES SS ie The 1953 TREASURED LEAVES BONLEE HIGH SCHOOL | Bonlee, North Carolina Annual Staff Senior Class Poem Here is the senior class of fifty three, Laughing, happy, and full of glee! Rachel is a mighty cute sight; Martha looks good in blue and white. Ruby Lee has enviable looks; Mary isn’t interested in school books. Bette Andrews is quite tall; Clyde Webster is fond of football. Billy Dixon is a bashful boy; On the baseball diamond we find Leroy. For his quick mind, Lindo is renowned; Wayne looks natural on the pitcher’s mound; Everyone laughs when Ted is around. Betty Paul has a friendly smile; Joan Ivey thinks life is worthwhile. Claiborne is co-captain of our football team; In chemistry, Jesse is on the beam: Eva is cute, we all agree; Elaine now has her M-R-S-degree. Margaret Creason is always neat; In geometry, Richard can't be beat. Betty Garner is cute and small; With a smiling face Ann beats all. Peggy is off to Sanford when her work is done; Our teacher, Mrs. Buckner, is a lot of fun. Peggy Maness Class Poet Faculty MR. WOODROW D.

Class History In the fall of 1940, the history of our class had its beginning. We were soon progressing through the years, cramming our little heads with the knowledge we now find so useful. We owe a great deal to our elemen- tary teachers who, we now know, were the inspiration for our whole edu- cational career. We may forget them, but what they did for us, never. Eight long, but quickly passing years opened unto us the doors of Bonlee High School. We had completed our elementary education. Four years ago we invaded the ranks of Bonlee High School. There were forty-two of us soon preparing ourselves for a more complete edu- cation. We went to the Moorehead Planitarium at Chapel Hilland sawa superb presentation, ‘‘The Easter Story.’’ Quickly this year passed away and we shifted to our second year. To begin our sophomore year there were forty members in our class. This year was marked by a trip down to Fayetteville and Fort Bragg. Our girls made excellent little waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Dur- ing the year we lost twelve students from our class, but we resolved to continue our good work till the finish. In our Junior year we were for the second time sponsored by Mrs. Ina Andrews. Our class officers were Elaine Clapp- president. Lindo Burns- vice president, Joan Ivey- secretary, and Margaret Creason- treasurer. ‘‘Plain Jane,’’ our Junior play, was such a great success that we gave the Seniors a banquet, ‘‘Spring Serenade.’’ We also en- joyed sponsoring the Sauline Players, who presented two entertaining programs. Thus ended our Junior year and we went home for the last time to take a summer vacation, before our last and most climaxing year. Then with excitingly exalted hearts, we began our last year under the expert guidance of Mrs. Dalton Buckner. Rachel Humphries was our president, Lindo Burns- vice president, Elaine Webster- secretary, and Betty Lois Andrews- treasurer. Our literary productions, THE TREASURED LEAVES and the BONLEE GAZETTE, were selected to hang in Bonlee’s Hall of Fame, where they are kept in remembrance of the class of °53. The most delicious treat of the year was the exquisite banquet given us by the Juniors. Thanks again, Juniors! Then our Senior play, which we anticipated so anxiously and so hopefully, was chosen as our masterpiece. Last and most wonderful was our week-long trip to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Our sweetest memories and greatest thrills came from this trip. We can never forget it! But, suddenly we were solemnly marching down the isle- sad, happy, and victorious. Our school days at Bonlee High School were abruptly days of the past. We finished with gladness, parted with sadness, and of dear ole’ Bonlee we were no more. Richard Jessup Class Historian Class Prophecy With a happy sigh, I opened the door of my apartment. It had been an enjoyable, but a tiring day, and now I could read the paper while sipping a nice cool coke. Pick- ing up the ‘‘WASHINGTON TIMES,’’ I saw a familiar name jutting forth from the head- lines— JESSE RACHEL TO OPEN ULTRAMODERN THEATRICAL BUILDING— Why, he was in our graduating class! I remembered that Jesse had worked ata theater during our high school days. Suddenly I had an inspiration! Why not have a class reunion to recall old memories? I could call all the members of the class of °53 and we could meet at the grand opening of Jesse’s theater! Let’s see now— where to start? Wayne Moon should not be too hard to contact since the St. Louis Cardinals are playing here in Washington this week. He is pitching quite a lot for them th's ear. 2 I think I’ll put in a call to Elaine and she can let Ann Beaver know about our re- union. Ann is living with her husband in a beautiful country home on the outskirts of: Siler City. I wonder if Elaine can get away from her seven year-old daughter, who is in the second grade, and her son who is just starting to kindergarten? Ann can let Margaret Creason and her husband know of this party. Margaret and her husband and three children are living on a magnificent plantation south of Bonlee. I can cable Ted, since he is manager of the Bonlee Railroad Lines. Maybe he can bring Willia and their two sons, aged five and eight. Perhaps I can catch Leroy at his office, LEROY LOCATES ESCORTS AGENCY, if he isn’t out doing most of the escorting himself. Margaret can let Eva and her husband in Ramseur know of our reunion since her two little girls attend Eva’s kindergarten there. I’ll ask Leroy to leave his office long enough to go next door to Webster’s Store and tell Clyde, who must have liked the grocery business. When I was at the game of the Washington Red Skins, Sunday, with Claiborne’s wife and four children, I learned their address and I] think 1 shall run over to seethem. Claiborne has been doing very well in professional football for several years. I must place a call to California for Betty Andrews. She is a Captain in the U.S. Marines. Maybe she and her husband can run over to the Army base near them and let Mary and her husband know of the reunion plans. I shall wire Richard in New York, where he is completing plans for the new Brooklyn Bridge. He was always good at geometry and he must still be. I think I’ll now try to reach Billy Dixon at his John Deere Equipment Company in Bonlee. Speaking of our graduation city, I must not forget Martha Ann and Ruby Lee, who are running an exquisite dress shop. Of course, they can bring their husbands, teacher at Elon and businessman, respectively. To reach Betty Paul, I’ll call the Department of Revenue. She was always in- cluded in counting money in high school, and how she counts it now! For Uncle Sam, of course! : Peggy? I think I’ll wire her at her hotel and restaurant, wh ich is located near Bonlee. I surely hope she can make it to our reunion. I’ll wire Joan, also. She is a decorator and designer at Morrison-Neese in Greensboro. She has had her home in Starmont Forest on exhibition recently. She and her husband, the Lincoln-Mercury dealer, are happily settled in it now. Richard can let Betty Garner know, since he is in New York. Betty is just in from a trip abroad with her two cute girls. Well, I guess my last call will go to Lindo, now head coach for the University of Georgia. He carried his Georgia Tech team through the entire season and the Sugar Bowl undefeated. And now if North Carolina’s Senior Senator will allow me a little time off to plan and execute this affair, Iam sure that it will prove to be a huge success! Rachel Humphries, Class Prophet Last Will and Testament NORTH CAROLINA Chatham County Bear Creek Township Bonlee High School IW e, the Senior Class of '53, lLaving reached the last step of our high school edu- cation, find that during the past twelve years we have accumulated many talents, features, and priceless possessions that we must leave here to you who will as time goes by take our places as ‘‘Dignified Seniors.’’ May you treasure them as we have in remembrance of us.
