Nancy Ann Brown is a famous trapeze artist with Ringling Brothers Barnum Baily Circus. I see James Smith is now managing the New York Yankees. They’re still winning the pennant. Who’s that lady in the bathing suit? It’s Martha Moxley. She has just been named Mrs. America, 1964. Wayne Holt is owner of an enterprising business in Chicago which manufactures blankets. Nancy Sue Brown is working in her own beauty shop in Nebo. The best poem of 1964 was written by Max Reece. He is quite famous as a poet. Shirley Smith is a dietician in a girls' school in New York. Whoever thought Linney Willard would become a movie producer? He just re-made the film Gentlemen Prefer Blonds ' with Ann Hobson playing the part of Jane Russell and Peggy Smith as Marilyn Monroe. James Tharington is still driving that '50 Ford. It looks as if he is the most eligible bachelor in Boonville. Jerry Prim is working with the F.B.I. in Washington, D. C. I see Shirley Riggan working as a medical secretary in Greensboro. Claudette Hemric holds the position of swimming instructor at the YWCA in Elkin. Frankie Jester is a nurse at Baptist Hospital. Gaynelle Moxley is happily married and living in New York. I see Wilma Moxley is editor of the Woman's Home Companion. Sherrill Parker is playing ball with the Washington Red Skins. EVELYN S. MOXLEY, Prophetess CLASS HISTORY In September, 1950, Boonville High School was a scene of much confusion for every- one, this being the first year the new building had been used, but it was especially so, for our excited Freshmen Class of forty-nine. Thirteen of these had joined us from Fall Creek. We realized this was a great jump from grammar school but we learned to love it as we adapted ourselves to this new environment. Mr. Fisher was the homeroom teacher for the girls and Mr. Hunnicutt for the boys. As class officers we elected: Sanders Draughn, president; Shirley Riggan, vice-president; June Johnson, secretary; and Mary Jester, treasurer. We drew this year to a close with a farewell party for Mr. Fisher, a well-loved teacher of ours, who was having to leave us. In our sophomore year, with 42 members, we had begun to have more confidence and to feel at home. The girls were under the leadership of Mrs. Coram and the boys, Mr. Myers. The only high lights were a few class parties. We elected the following class officers: Sanders Draughn, president; Sherrill Parker, vice-president; and Martha Moxley, secretary-treasurer. Our Junior year found us with only thirty-four members but we had great anticipations. There was our Junior Play, “You’re Young Only Twice,” which was directed by Mr. Meyers and Shirley Riggan. It was also a great experience for us to give our Junior- Senior Banquet, Hawaiian Style, which was held in the community building. Following the banquet we attended the movie, “Stars and Stripes Forever,” at the Boonville Theater. This was a night that wild long be remembered by all of us. This year we were under the direction of Mrs. Reece and Mr. Walker. Our class officers were: Linney Willard, president; Anne Hobson, vice-president; Hilda Adams, secretary; and Mattie Fletcher, treasurer. Our fingers were measured in the spring and we got our rings early the next fall. Our senior class, under the leadership of Miss Day, started its thrilling, yet sad, concluding year with only thirty-two members. This year we were thrilled over the prospects of a trip to Washington and a banquet which would be prepared and paid for by someone else. We elected Libby Hemric and Dana Moxley as our mascots. Many activities led by Miss Day were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. This year some of our member had the privilege and responsibility of being leaders in our Student Council, head staff of the Annual, and the queen and an attendant of our Homecoming. Along with all this joy, there was a feeling of sadness because we realized that our days of high school were fast coming to an end and becoming history. May we ever strive to set our goals high and live up to the expectations of our faithful teachers. MARTHA MOXLEY, Historian
