We, the Senior Class of 1958, being of sound mind ( despite what our teachers and classmates may say) and of a disposing dis position, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To our dear old school of Ceres High we leave our airplanes, broken erasers, scarred desks, and all of our chewing gum papers. To the Juniors we leave our forgotten knowledge and dignified ways and also the ability to annoy the teachers, To the sophomores we leave our desks hop ing that they will stay in them better than we have, To the eighth grade we leave the long and rocky road we had to travel to become Seniors To the Principal we leave a sigh of relief that we have at last graduated. We also leave him pleasant memories of our four years tom gether. To the Faculty we leave our sincere thanks for all they have done for us. As individuals we will the following: I, Geraldine Umbarger, will my leadership ability to Dotty Hubble, I, Bobby Lee Davis, will my pet baby Turtle Speedy, to Donny Ray Atwell. I, Louise Ingram, will my basketball ability to Judy Blair. I, Evelyn Ingram, will my love for the boy to Ollie Mae.

“PRUPHECY Years have passed since that sad, yet wel comed day when the Senior Class marched up to receive their diplomas from Mr, J. M, Thomas, who was principal of good old Ceres, As we remember, that was in 1958 and it is now 1968. Yes, time has flown since then and it is now almost a dream, As I sit here, I recall how things used to be and realize that a great change has come over the world and especially the little school lo cated on the banks of North Holston, back in the old hometown, known to us as Ceres. The school has enlarged and they have a better ball field and many things we wanted but never received, The new cafeteria is under the supervision of the former Geraldine Umbarger and watch her twins eat that delicious food served by good old Ceres girls. Bobby Lee Davis is head nurse at the Oak of Ceres Hospital at Ceres and has as her personal secretary, Evelyn Ingram, Hey, not so close to the new doctor. Louise Ingram is the wife of the greatest racer in America, He has won four races in the last two years. Yes, that's his name Donald Kidd. Hey, Elaine, be a little easier on those small Kegleys. They can't help you got a man with Pontiac fever. ef Look who's taking off from Ceres Airport} Is it Adrain Tibbs or Johnny Crabtree? I can f see them more clearly now Adrain is the % pilot and Johnny Crabtree is the copilot, ia I heard a rumor that a new missile would be tested tomorrow trying in an attempt to reach the moon, In that silver streak I see the invent ors, David Davis and Eugene Cox. Edgar Spangler is now running a shop in Wythe ville. His helper is his wife, a girl from the East End of Wytheville. Ceres Cash and Carry is really doing business now be cause of the new owner, Jerry L. Lindamood,. I, Bennie Cox, am the successful editor of the Ceres Gazette, our homem town newspaper.
