CLASS HISTORY In September 1951 we were freshmen and were in much confusion as we were entering High School. Some had been in the new building and some in the old building in the Eighth grade. Now came the time for us to enter high school - a big day for us all. We entered our freshman year with sixty-four. Eighteen of these were from Fall Creek. We realized this was a great jump for us from grammar school, but we learned to love it as we adapted ourselves to this new environment. Mr. Cyrus Faw and Mr. Ben Hunnicutt were our homeroom teachers. Our class officers were: President, Billy Sizemore; Vice-President, J. C. Brooks; Secretary, Aladene Stinson; Treasurer, Nancy Fletcher. In our sophomore year we had fifty-three members. We then felt more interested in High School. We had to have two homeroom teachers: Mrs. Dobbins, the girls; and Mr. Hunnicutt, the boys. We elected officers for this year-Presi- dent, Billy Sizemore; Vice-President, Jimmy Wilhelm; Secretary, Aladene Stinson; Treasurer, C. L. Dinkins. Our junior year was more thrilling to us than any other year. We had forty-seven members. There was our Junior play, “Ready Made Family,” which was directed by Mr. Myers and Mr. Sidden. It was great experience for us to give the Junior-Senior Banquet, Chinese Style. Following the banquet, we attended a movie, Lucky Me,” at Winston- Salem. This is a night I think will be remembered by all. This year our homeroom teachers were: Mrs. Reece and Mr. Myers. Our class officers were: President, Bobby Norman; Vice-President, Betty Cranfill; Secretary, Aladene Stinson; Treasurer, Betty Jane Davis. Our fingers were measured in the spring and we were to get our rings in November. Our Senior year was under the leadership of Miss Day and Mr. Myers. It was a thrilling year, but sad. We had now only forty-one members. This year we were looking forward to our Washington trip and a banquet which someone else would give. We elected Dianne Hobson and Michael Jester as Mascots. This year some of the members had the privilege and responsibility of being leaders in our Student Council, Major Staff of the Yearbook, and the Queen and attendant of our homecoming and many other activities. We also had an enjoyable trip to Winston-Salem to the Mora- vian Candle Tea and a wonderful Christmas party at Miss Day's home here in Boonville. Thus Ends the history of our Class The Class of '55 May the memory of our brilliant careers Live for many years to come JO ANN ADAMS Historian CLASS PROPHECY I, Bonnie Cockerham, having been elected class prophet, am about to look into the future and see what fate will have been our senior class ten years from now. Who’s the first person I see in the picture? Why! It is I, carrying out my ambition to sing with the Chordettes. Jolene and Colene Adams are still fooling the boys with their identical looks. I find Jo Ann Adams working in the Smith Bros. Cafe near Yadkinville. Nell Adams has not lost her love for “Salmons.” I see Nell Allen opening “Matthews” Clothing Store at Nebo. Larry Bray is now pitching for the Yankees. J. C. Brooks is coaching for the Washington Red Skins. He has some good prospects. Carol Brown is quite a girl. I heard she was named Miss America of 1965. Eunice Brown and Grace Moxley are still waiting patiently for the right ones to come along. I see Betty Brumfield’s father still chauffeuring her to those elegant Dance Halls. I see Frankie Casstevens is still driving his Ford. Maybe Fords are the best cars. Why, there is Barbara Cave. She is a great soloist and appearing at the Center Theatre in Roanoke, Va. Betty Jane Davis is living up north and just loves making “Angel” Food Cakes. I see Ralph Davis using his knowledge in Basketball and coaching at State College. C. L. Dinkins has an oil company in Elkin and also bought Bobby Stinson’s Station. Nancy Fletcher has a big jewelry store in Greensboro. The name of it is Reece’s Jewelers.’’ I see Bruce Hinshaw has opened a work shop in Boonville. I think Mr. Walker had something to do with it. I see Shelba Hobson is carrying out her long-wanted ambition, being a housewife for you know who. I hear someone laughing! Why! it’s Betty Sue Huff and she is opening a Beauty Salon in Yadkinville. I wonder what the name of it will be. I was surprised when I heard Jo Ann Hunter was a model in New York, N. Y. Donald Jester is coaching baseball at the New Vestal’s College in Boonville. I see someone at the ballgame. Why! it’s Elizabeth Jester. She has become one of Winston’s most outstanding news reporter. Is that Dickie Hemric playing basketball for Boonville All-Stars. No, it’s A. G. Lakey. I hear that T. L. Matthews has stepped into a NAIL trap. Lorene McCraw has a big secretarial job at Eastern Electric Co. in Elkin. It was recently organized. Eugene Motsinger is making an outstanding patrolman for Boonville, I hear. I see Bertha Norman on the verge of making a lawyer’s wife. I see Bobby Norman has given up the idea of becoming a President and is taking a Barber s course. Benny Pendry is still sleeping. I think he must be “Rip Van Winkle II.” Benny Phillips has become one of Boonville’s most prosperous lawyers. Bill Shore has an all-time race track at Nebo. He isn’t racing. I wonder why? Billy Sizemore is living on a quiet little farm in the country. Can you believe that? I hear Jimmy Sizemore is a sports announcer for WSJS-TV. Fred Sparks is a great dancer. He is now instructing in Boonville. Who is that coming down the sidewalk? It is Aladene Stinson and believe it or not, she is 5 ft. 9 in. tall. Mary Frances Trivette is now teaching Home Economics in Boonville. Shirley Vestal is now a great soloist singing at Jester’s Club House. I see Jimmy Wilhelm has quite a family. He said they were “Cheaper by the Dozen. Harvey Wishon is driving for McLean Trucking Co. He told me he had received two medals for the best driver.
