During the following eight years many interesting things happened to us. In the eighth grade we took a trip to Raleigh to the many historic buildings as well as the Capitol. We also had an increase in our class. In this year, the students from Newland came to Central. In 1951 we entered high school and lived up to the name of noisy freshmen. In our Sophomore year we settled down and began to get full benefit from high school --some of it, anyway. In our Junior year we were a busy group of boys and girls preparing for our Junior play and Junior-Senior Banquet. The last week of school we had Senior privileges. During our Senior year we looked forward to many interesting things. We are happy now but before school is out we will be sad, for we must leave Central and all our friends and face this big wide world. CLASS PROPHECY Recently the New York Chronicle carried a series of interviews of various individuals who are well known to society. Many of these outstanding men and women are known to you and me. The article was so interesting we thought we would share it with you as it appeared in the society column. Miss Valna Alexander, who is known to us as “Peanut,“ was recently seen in a well known night club with her attention on Clyde Palmer and Johnnie White, who had a week's engagement at the club. The critics say that they're running Martin and Lewis out of business. A well known school of modeling in New York now has a new owner. Miss Janice Blevins. She says that an old school chum, Ella Hoffmanns enrolled in her school to get her figure back. Ella is married and has five little girls, who all have inherited her giggle. Mr. Gene Sample and Mr. Thomas Chappell have a partnership in the YOU NAME IT; WE BUILD IT company in Chicagq, where they are living happily with their wives and children. Superintendent of Nurses at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore is none other than Frances Cartwright, who is engaged to be married to Mr. Dick McDowell early in the spring. Mr. Donald Stallings and Mr. BUI Gregory are touring the country with their Hell Driving outfit. Jackie Cooper, now a most notable citizen, can be seen going about his duties every day as the city dog catcher. M Senator Billy Hampton has released the news to his publicity chairman, Joseph Etheridge, that he will run on the Democratic ticket as a candidate for President in the coming election. His leading opponent running on the Republican ticket is Mr. Jack Curlings. John Madrc, who is known nationally for his production of peanuts, now owns a big factory in Virginia. The recently elected “Nurse.of the Year is our old friend Ruth Pritchard, known to us as Tink. She has an outstanding position in the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Charles Ray Sawyer is owner of the Sawyer Trucking Company located at Morgan's Corner, the capital of Ncwland. Sgt. Lcahman Ballancc is making a career of the army. In his company are his old school chums, Jimmy Roffe and Jackson Morris. Mrs. Harold Riddick, formerly Miss Doris Faye Whitehurst, is leading a quiet family life in Elizabeth City with her husband and six children, Edith Meads has kept her title as biggest flirt. She not only flirts with Marines, but she's now a private herself. Norma Faye Muse keeps all the movie stars looking sharp. Her beauty shop, called the Rayficld Beauty Salon, is located in Beverly Hills, California. Franklin Davis owns a large farm in the western part of the country and raises about anything on the market. In his spare time he teaches the little Davises to play basketball and football. Max Singletary is in Switzerland lenrning to make Swiss watches and Swiss cheese too in his spare time. (ajr7 The editor of True Arts Magazine is none other than Theodore Sawyer. Mademoiselle Connie Brothers i9 in Paris running Christian Dior out of business. Her celebrated actor fiance, Leslie Turner, spends most of his spare time assisting her. (In finances mostly.) Bobby Ray Spence, a successful farmer, is making a career of raising corn and babies. The new secretary of the Central Banking Company in Chicago is Gloria Williams, who is seeing quite a bit of a well known millionaire about town. Miss Shirley Smith is the head of the English Department of W. C. U. N. C. Her husband is coaching at a near-by college. , Dr. Mary Ann Jones is doing her practicing at Rex Hospital in Raleigh. North Carolina, while her fiance, Dr. Hardc ty, is her supervisor. LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We. the Senior Class of 1955, leave dear old Central and the teachers who, along with our parents, urged us on to our goal for graduation.
