Dr. Jean Day, famous surgeon, has recently hired Dr. Faye Gresham as his assistant— what a coincidence! !. Sally Bray, wife of America’s number one farmer, was seen at the World’s Fair with her husband. The great romantic lead, LeRoy Woodson, and Shirley Sears, the red-haired beauty, are being starred in Frances Pierce’s latest novel “Life Is What You Make It” written especially for LeRoy and Shirley. They say it’s a WOW ! ! Costumes for the production were designed by Irene Horsley, M-G-M’s top lady in style. America’s first helicopter cab service has just been established in Kitty Hawk, Norffi Carolina, by Frank Nuttall. It will be called “The Nuttie Cab Company.” Margaret Gregg will be his secretary and chauffeur. WAIT! ! HOLD EVERYTHING! ! My announcer has just handed me the result of the 1955 Glamour Girl Beauty Contest sponsored by John Robert Powers. Yes, it is J eane Dunn. The papers are full of the big double wedding ceremony of Lorraine Howlett and Rose Hall to two Army Air Corps officers. They are now ready to settle down. Charles Kerns is the new editor of the Woman’s Day Magazine, with Ann Deal working hard as his private secretary and giving him all the new angles. Mary Frances Robins is the new drummer in “Bobby Walsh’s” orchestra in New York City. They are being seen together rather often. Do 1 hear wedding bells? ? ! !. Robert Robins is now coaching the Brooklyn Dodgers. No wonder they won the W orld Championship ! !. Marion Fary has been sent to North Africa to teach Commercial to the natives—Archie Leigh left the same day to teach Agriculture in North Africa—No connection, I don’t suppose! ! !. News has just arrived from Cuba of the marriage of Vernon Brown, now a retired Navy officer, to one of those Cuban dancers. He always did like to dance and now he can learn some new steps. Many crowds (including Movie Stars) have been gathering at the new night club opened by Norman Groh in Miami, Florida. Evenelle Farinholt and Herbert Feilds just signed the ‘dotted line’ on a contract to dance for Norman in the new night club. What a classy hangout! !. William DeHardit (better known as Billy), a prominent lawyer in Washington, is de¬ fending Peggy Smith in her divorce from Lauren Corr. No third party has been named yet—could be though !. Colmore Atkins is now in New York running for President under Republican ticket. What a nerve! ! !. My sponsor, Albert Robinson, who shoves the Chevies, has a few words to say be¬ fore I leave tbe air. “Our new Chevrolet, which is made of glass and runs on water, is out on sale. Why not get yours today? ! ! !”. Thank you, Mr. Robinson—Now to continue with the ups and downs. I’m told that Mary Davis, the cover girl for Smiles Magazine, has recently stopped smiling for the public and smiles now only at her hubby. Imagine Hazel Trevilian touring Europe and photographing the “new Berlin” and Hitler’s tomb f or the Outcast Magazine. WAIT! ! A special notice from Police Headquarters! Mahel Horsley disappeared from her home three days ago. Anyone knowing of her whereabouts, please notify the Police. Why she ran away is unknown. She wore a wedding gown and was carrying a suitcase when last seen! !. That’s all for tonight, folks! ! This is Isle Tellit saying, “I drive Chevies, how about you? ! !”. Hazel Trevilian Peggy A. Smith CLASS HISTORY One day as T was looking through the library, I came upon a book which seemed to he rather interesting. As I turned through the first chapter, I saw the main characters were: Billy DeHardit, Sally Bray, Herbert Feild, Robert Robins, Colmore Atkins, Lauren Corr, and Marion Fary. They were in the first grade of school and, of course, very much lost. They had as their leader Miss Neta Helsabcck. Reading along a little farther T saw they changed leaders. First to Miss Linwood Stubbs, then to Miss Molly Baird. They also gained a few characters who were Charles Kerns, Jeane Dunn, Mary Davis, and Peggy Smith. Again they changed leaders from Miss Ellen Moore to Miss Sadie Williams, and later to Miss Dorothy Smith, Mrs. Russell Gray, and Mrs. Cecil Hall. Among the friends they gained during this time were Shirley Sears, Margaret Gregg, Lorraine Howlett, Archie Leigh, Mary Frances Robins, Frank Nuttall, Frances Pierce, Evenelle Farinholt, Faye Gresham, Ann Deal, Rose Hall, Mabel Horsley, Vernon Brown, and Albert Robinson. The first seven chapters covered the trying years when hits of complicated knowledge were being gained—when the fundamentals, so they were told, were being pounded into their little brains so they might successfully enter the next chapter of activities. As this point the story began to change for they entered high school. Again they were completely lost, but everything soon got under way for Miss Sylvia Swartz was their sponsor. Here, Yvonne Moore made entrance into the story. In the first half of the ninth chapter life went on directed by Mrs. Chick, and later by Mrs. Herbert Lewis. They added only one more to the list of main characters in this chapter, Irene Horsley. However, they said goodbye to three of the characters who had joined them along the way. Virginius Stubblefield and Maxwell Sears went into tbe army; Thomas Chapman w T ent into the navy. The story seemed to be getting very interesting, for they were Juniors and very proud to have Mrs. 1. M. Anderton as their sponsor, hut Mrs. Anderton did not stay with them during the whole chapter. Somewhere about the middle Mrs. M. S. Johnson came in to fill her place They owed much of the success of the Junior-Senior Prom to her and Air. Page. They all seemed to have had a wonderful time that night at the dance. They also added two new characters in this chapter, Caroline Barter and Hazel Trevilian. I was nearing the end of the hook for here was chapter eleven. They again were under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Anderton. At the beginning of the chapter they were thirty-one proud Seniors. They had two new characters, Sam Smith and LeRoy Woodson, a veteran of World War IT. Caroline Barter, Yvonne Moore and Sam Smith left them in the first half. Vernon Brown left later to go into the navy. Albert Robinson joined them once again, for he had spent his previous year at Christ Church School. Norman Groh came from the Junior Class about the same time. As I came to the last page I was very disappointed for four pages were missing. As I read the last page they seemed to he very busy preparing the annual and getting ready for graduation in June. I am sure, although the last pages were not there, that they all went out into the world as young men and women and wherever they went they always remembered their school motto, “Esse Quanr Videre” which means “To be, rather than to seem to be.” Marion Fary LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT The Senior Class of Botetourt High School, of the County of Gloucester, Common¬ wealth of Virginia, in the year of Nineteen Hundred Forty-five, being of sound mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our Last Will and Testament, in manner and form as follows: We hereby leave to our principal our lasting love and affection. To our teachers we leave the great satisfaction and relief that we have at last graduated. Our sweet disposition, talent, courage, behavior, manners, and the ability to stay home at night and study to the Juniors. A boy who is always late for the first class in the morning, Herbert Feild, bequeaths his tardiness to Eleanor Kerns. Marion Fary bequeaths her lovely figure to Mary Ellen Hall, better known as “Bootsie.” Irene Horsley leaves her quietness to Ann Corbell. Known as the “best athlete,’’ Robert Robins bequeaths his career to Homer Chapman. Shirley Sears leaves her singing talent to Sara Frances Oliver. A boy who has a perfect attendance, Frank Nuttall, leaves his good report to Jackie Rhodes. Lorraine Howlett leaves her weight to Betsy Oliver. A girl who is always blushing, Hazel Trevilian leaves her shyness to Anne Abernathey. Charles Kerns really likes his girls. He bequeaths his great talent to flirt to Donald Day. Since Sally Bray dates many boys during a week, she leaves her dating to Ann Corbell. Mary Davis bequeaths her beautiful natural curly hair to Jane Gray. A boy who never worries and always in a “happy-go-lucky,” Vernon Brown, leaves his ability to study to Mary Lee Oliver. Frances Pierce leaves her typing career to Anne Abernathey. Margaret Gregg bequeaths her “way” with the Sophomore boys to Nellie Mae Eastwood. A boy who is most in love, Lauren Corr, leaves his “love affairs” to Virginia Oliver. For four years, Evenelle Farinholt has won the contest for the “Biggest Flirt.” She is happy and proud to leave her award to Eileen Gwyn. Ann Deal bequeaths her ability to “primp” to Florence Moman. Mabel Horsley leaves her sweet smile to Fayette Wiatt. A boy who loves to talk and is always talking, Billy DeHardit, leaves his big, talkative mouth to Marginella Smith. Colmore Atkins leaves his expressive face to Samuel Kemp. Rose Hall bequeaths her strength and muscle to Frances Sterling. Norman Groh leaves—there’ll be peace and calm at Botetourt at last. Winning the contest for the “Most Intellectual,” and is the most studious boy, Jean Day leaves his ability to study to Bill Healy. LeRoy W ' oodson leaves his line to Sonny Pulley w T ho evidently has the “hook and sinker.” Albert Robinson leaves his ever present grin to any “sad pan” which needs it—no insinuations ! ! ! Peggy Smith leaves her “technique” to Ann Chapman. Jeane Dunn leaves her beautiful, black hair to Miss Tuck. Mary Frances Robins leaves her features ot Minnie M-, her twin. Faye Gresham, the “gal with umph,” bequeaths her winning ways to Lorraine Sterling. The best agricultural boy of the Senior Class, Archie Leigh, leaves his farming talent to Mr. Page. Faye Gresham Albert Robinson CLASS POEM ESSE QUAM VIDERE To be rather than to seem to be. Noble words so dear to us, That they bespeak of high ideals, Agreed upon—unanimous. This chosen banner we hold high, A glowing symbol in the sky, To guide us now and later, when The class must part, our lives begin. But though we be far apart, Each of us may bear in heart, Esse Quam Videre, Will lead us on to victory —JEAN DAY. COMPLIMENTS O F GLOUCESTER MEN ' S SHOP GLOUCESTER.VIRGINIA COMPLIMENTS W. E.

Our breeding pens will be headed by R. O. P. cockrels; individually pedigreed with records from 260 to 235 eggs per year. Thus another step will be com¬ pleted in a continuous effort to increase the egg production of hens grown from our chicks. ooOoo W. D. Weaver Cleveland R.
