In order to preserve the precious memories, the staffs of the BEACON have worked hard and faithfully for the past few years. These yearbooks will keep alive these memo- ries of a school which has done her part in educating men and women of today. Such memories include: Classes which mean more to you than you ever realized; Friendships which can never die; Teachers who have been friends to you; Senior plays which brought out unknown talent; Beauty contests which you somehow lost; Those unforgettable trips made available by your efforts; And those final days of graduation which brought those tears of joy and sadness. To the members of the Senior Class, I would like to say that the last four years have been a pleasure, and, with all sincerity, I wish you the best that the world has to offer . ; Dedication The c haracter of a man is revealed by the way he spends the time that is his life. It is to a man whose mo- ments are lived not for himself but for a greater purpose, that this book is dedicated. pay tribute to his sincere interest , understanding, and willingness to help; to his efficient counseling and outgoing friendliness; to his utmost patience in finding a satisfactory , workable solution to our many minute prob- lems in preparing us for our tomorrow. We the Senior Class of 1955 dedicate this last Boyd- ton School Annual to our principal, Mr. Butt.

Class Prophecy It was in the year 1 955, this memorable year of 1955, this last year that BOYDTON HIGH SCHOOL had distinguished seniors issuing from her portals, that I can remember now so well. These seniors bade BOYDTON HIGH SCHOOL a fond, but sad, adieu because they knew that BOYDTON HIGH SCHOOL had reached its end in life. This being the year 1966, I look back; and in the various places and situations have I found the last of the line of BOYDTON HIGH SCHOOL Seniors DONALD, having finished V. P. I. is now County Agent in BoydtonI Our only Senior boy could not desert his “Alma Mater”. DOROTHY STRICKLER and BETTY YANCEY, as you might well have sus- pected, are married to Harry and Lavern. Both are living in Chase Citya n d have opened a beauty shop called “The Glamour Salon”. MARY FRANCES JEFFRESS is now head nurse on the Men’s floor at Medical College Hospital . That blond hair may land her that handsome rich man of whom every girl dreams. EULA graduated with honors at Mary Washington; from there she went to the University of Virginia for her masters degree. Today she is principal of the elementary school and an instructor in Physical Education at Boydton, Vir- ginia . With Linwood stationed in Japan , SHIRLEY had plenty of time to complete her modeling course in New York. She is now modeling in the exclusive dress department in John Wanamakers in Philadelphia. MARY CARROLL is very busy now that she has landed that rich husband with a huge estate and she also has four children to look after. MAJOR ALICE MOREFIELD has really earned a place for herself. Today she is an officer in the W. A, F. Her twinkling brown eyes have carried her a long way. The lingerie department of Macy’s Department Store is now operated by the competent JEAN HENDRICK, formerly of Boydton High School, and business is booming! ! ! ! ! Be sure to visit the Chase City County Fair in the Fall. There you will find NANCY PURYEAR, as head of the “Daredevils”; a mad group of crazy car drivers . “BEA ADCOCK, is producer and director of h e r well known television pro- gram “Enter Not This Door.” She has come a long way since herfirst per- formance in the Senior Play of ' 55. Who should be the cover girl of our class, except DORIS HATCHELL. She is employed by the True Story Publishing Company, and has a part time job modeling Paris fashions. CORA LEE is now Home Economist for VEPCO. Her demonstrations have carried her over most of Virginia. LENIS ANNE is secretary to the eye specialist, Dr. Farrar, in the South Hill Memorial Hospital. Cast Will And Zest a meat I, BEATRICE ADCOCK, WOULD LIKE TO WILL MY STYLE OF LONG HAIR TO SHIRLEY LANEY.

I, DOROTHY STRICKLER, WILL MY SLIMNESS AND ABILITY TO MAKE A LITTLE NOISE SOMETIMES TO PACE COOPER. THE THRESHOLD As you emerge from the chasms of time, • Behold that threshold gate. There are no warning bells to chime; The future will not wait. Time has nothing to tell, Of future days in stock. Life has so much to sell, So many doors upon which to knock. Future urges us along, The past stays close behind. Promising fulfillment of these wise words, “So seek and you shall find”. That threshold gate gapes open now, Choose your road without a bend. Walk it constantly all the while , Hurry--for there is no end.
