CLASS HISTORY We the Seniors of '54 know it's the end of twelve years at Bonlee High School and the beginning of a life that Bonlee has taught us to live. We began in the first grade with eight long years of grammar school before us, and then in the fall of 1950 we were freshmen with ages and ages of high school before us. When we started our first year in high school, there were many things to get used to--the changing of classes--having more than one teacher--being sponsored by Mrs. Charles Broyles--simple as they seem, memories crowded in, We re- ceived our first real fund-raising experience-from working in the cafeteria at the Halloween Carnival. The big thrill of the year was a hike to Ore Hill Mountain, and did we enjoy the delicious picnic we had when lunch time slipped up! At the end of our freshman year, wewere impressed with high school and we realizedthat we had a lot to learn. ; Then another fall, and memories: still gathering. This. year we were sponsored by Mr. W. D. Wilson, and he took us on a very interesting tour of the High Point Bending Mill. {n the fall we helped again in the cafeteria at the Halloween Carnival, andinthe spring several of our girls were waitresses at the Junior and Sénior ban- quet. Soon the Seniors were discussing leaving, but graduation had nothing what— ever to do with us--too far off. But it took less time than ever for September to roll around--a welcome from Miss Ina, our Junior sponsor, and we were really glad to be back, We kept our class officers--President, Inez Hammer; Vice..President, Jimmy Edwards; and Secretary and Treasurer, Joella Mobley--very busy. People stood back and took notice as we began to control a few things. This year we sponsored the ''Sauline Players'' and had a small fund-raising project at the Halloween Carnival. In the spring we presented the farce comedy, ''The Cannibal Queen, ''and we really enjoyed presenting this play--ourfirst one. The trip of the year was to Washington, D. C., along with the '53 seniors; this trip will never be forgotten because we packed in an enormous amount of fun and many educational facts. The treat of the year was the Junior and Senior banquet, ''The Flower Garden!''; the seniors enjoyed the banquet very much, and so did we, Remember all those times the seniors almost heard our plans or saw our decorations? Time raced some more, and it wasn't possible that we would be seniors next fall! But we were, and are, and now we were. Remember how thrilled we were to have Mrs. Dalton Buckner for our sponsor this year--our last year? Again we kept our class officers busy; these faithful workers were Shirley Beaver, President; Inez Hammer, Vice President; Sue Anne Phillips, Secretary; and Billy Vestal, Trea- surer. We were really getting to run things this year; we edited the school paper, the GAZETTE, and published the annual, TREASURED LEAVES. We suddenly began to thinkabout colleges, jobs, and the future and then--it was hard to believe that WE were wearing caps and gowns. Parties, graduation exercises, and grad- uation presents--for us, the freshmen of '50.. We look back and wonder how we got through some situations. We remember many things--how happy we were when we got our class rings inlate October--the joy we received when Shirley Anne Andrews was elected Harvest Queen atthe Halloween Carnival--the Senior play's being sucha success that people are stilltalking about it--the beautiful banquet the Juniors gave us--all the mornings we waited for those orange busses--the ballgames and all the activities we enjoyed so much, Suddenly we were leaving, and as we said good-bye to dear old Bonlee High, we realized our mission had been accomplished thus far and that ''The path of learning is behind us; ahead the road to success, JOELLA MOBLEY Class Historian CLASS PROPHECY So---you want to hear another story, Children? Well, gather around and let me see----. Nowdidlever tell you about my visit to the old Gypsy Fortune Teller ? I didn't? Well, it was back in fifty four when I was visiting one of my old class- mates, Shirley Andrews. She lives in Cane Creek, Indiana, now and owns and op- erates the largest peanut farm in the United States. Well, getting back to the story, she thought it would be fun to visit the old fortune teller who lived near by and take a peek into our futures. And I! Well, I suggested that while we were there, that we take a peek at all of our classmates' futures too. She agreed and we asked the old gypsy to tell us first something about Bobby Beavers, After searching in her crys- tal ball for a while she caught a glimpse of Bobby hurrying to his job where he is a messenger boy for Western Union, now professionally managed by Clyde Maness. She also noted that he was riding a ''flash bike designed and manufactured by Her- bert Gaines and Son, Incorporated. She saw Bobbie Webster leisurely sitting on the veranda of her country home in the suburbs of Bonlee, waiting for Clyde to return from a drive with their twins, Mike and Ike. The oldfortune teller surely startled me when she stated that Margaret Davis, of all people, had signed a thirty-year contract with U.N.C,. to teach Science to five hundred students a day. Marlene obviously put her excellent Chemistry record to use because she was seenin white attire scurrying about her work in an immaculate hospital in Washing- ton, D. C.. The hospital is under the direction of Chief-of-Staff, Dr. Earnest J. Rogers, Martha was glimpsed in her dress shop where she designs wardrobes in sizes from forty through sixty for pleasingly plump ladies. She seemed to have quite a bit of business, considering! The gypsy seemed to think that Billy had acquired fame for his guarding feats on the footballteam of the Washington Red Skins. I certainly hope nobody tries to get the water bucket though! She had a hard time making connections with Jack Phillips as he was between stops on one of his cross-country tour specials. He can afford specials, you know; he owns the ''Safe Way Bus Company. ! It wasn't very hard to get in touch with Joella; she seemed to be very settled in Durham, N, C., where she is a very shrewd business manager of an old maids' home and in her spare time is compiling a novel called IT AIN'T NO FUN TO BE SINGLE, ' Jimmy Edwards seemedto be rather swift on his feet but she finally managed todetermine his line of business by his uniform. He was not in the service but was avery efficient Bell Hop in the Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chicago and only last week he was awarded the title of being ''Mr. Bell Hop of 1960. ! The old fortune teller caught a glimpse of Shirley Beaver flying from the. door of a good woman who obviously didn't want any brushes. But as a whole, she seemed to be pretty successful as a Fuller Brush saleswoman. Madame Gypsy had ahard time distinguishing Inez from the many people gath- ered in her small curiosity shop in Bonlee, She undoubtedly did not pull up roots after her marriage and decided to make her home there, Jack Dyches is known in the district of Bear Creek as ''The Cattle Kings He owns a large cattle ranch there; you know- couple of cows, couple of calves..... shes eas! Soa oe a es ee that that one gypsy predicted that I would be right ane 6 We g ele-Story Time'' show; and you see, that's just what I'm Well, little ones, goodby until tomorrow whenI shall expect to see each of you right here in Studio One, SUE ANNE PHILIPS Class Prophet LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the nineteen hundred fifty-four class of Bonlee High School, in the county of Chatham, state of North Carolina, being of strong bodies and almost sane minds, do hereby declare this will legal, and any previous will null and void.
