CARL PATTERSON JANE ELLER Most Original ALLEN HARRIS DORIS HERRIN Best Athletes LOUISE WEAVER GAYNELL BUCKWELL DONALD LIVENGOOD Most Talkative MARGARET DEAL JAMES RAY PARK Prophecy This prophecy is written to foretell what our seniors will be. Tho’ it may seem unnatural and sound kind of crazy, You will find it ' s just a rough idea of what only I can see. Follow me up a ladder of years, out into an imaginary world, And here you will find 63 fine boys and girls. In lights are Lynnie Ruth Corriher and Virginia Deal ' s names— As we all know. Now starring in their 20th Comedian show. 1963 will be the Date— When Carl Patterson and Carl Bradshaw finish at State. Two great Missionaries—Melba Willis and James Ray Park are on their way to Africa— “The Land of the Dark.” Because of his unusual ways and lovable character— Allen Harris was chosen the world ' s finest actor. Joyce Barringer—working for the circus as an elephant trainer— Decides she wants to become a painter. Charles White and Gilbert Dyson laughed as the wheels roared, They are now stock car drivers in the new 1960 Fords. Betty Jane Beaver a teacher of Ballet— Is having her students give a recital in May. Jimmy Menius, a student at U. N. C. With an average below B Finds it hard to get in the school of pharmacy. Maxine McDonald after 10 years— Is still undecided about her goal, But keeps right on having plenty of fun, And never expects to grow old. No one could compete with him— Because of his great abilities, Johnny Atwell is now living in the house of famous professors— With all the modern facilities. Sulena Houck has finally raised enough money to buy her ranch, And has trained her horses to sing and dance. Working for the F. B. I. is Thermon Hooks, Who has helped catch some of the world’s meanest crooks. Leona Basinger is now living a happy life— Especially since she has become Robert’s wife. In Canada I see the owner of all the winter lodges— None other than Mr. John Hodges. Jane Eller is now the Editor of the New York Times and author of the book, “Deadly Crimes.” Charles Simpson says that only one thing will fulfill his life, And that is to find the right girl to become his wife. Hospitals seem to have lost their curses, Since Grace McKnight and Velma Crisp are nurses. Jay Barnhardt, an all around good electrician, Does his work well and very efficient. Day and night Phyllis Rodgers works, For husband, Clarence, and several small jerKs. Robert Bost says he likes his job just fine, Since he has become a pilot for the Eastern Airline. A true friend to the end is Mozelle Bost. And a lovable character that can never be lost. Most magicians only pull rabbits out of a hat, John Ha rrison does greater things than that. Regardless of the change of the years and land— I see Peggy Safrit is singing with Tommy Dorsey ' s band. Billy Martin still bashful and shy— Now has a school on, “How to Fly.” Doris Herrin now the owner of Penney ' s, and Peggy Eaton part of McLellan’s, Sell everything from toothpicks to watermelons. L. M. Carter, a baseball player, has found his place among the best, And has the word “famous” written across his chest. Nellie Benfield—to Paris did go, Happily married to Ray, you know. Jimmy Hahn with a personality all his own, and very funny, Has conquered all the fame he’s ever wanted, “Money.” Margaret Smith just made this confession— Being married to Carl is her favorite profession. Earl Corriher—has just crossed the Suez Canal— On the back of his famous biue ribbon cow! She’s made herself famous in her work, And has a very good start— Miss Mary K. Wilhelm, a genius in art. William Christy a famous lion tamer and with the best of luck—- Has just taken over the job of the great Frank Buck. Gaynell Buckwell now a professional basketball star, Has won a trip to the moon in 19f0 rocket car. Jerry Cline still witty but liked by all— Is trying to jump the Niagara Falls. Singing with her beautiful voice in the Metropolitan Opera Is Miss Betty Lou Hogan, Never to be forgotten. Donald Livengood has now won his fame— As coach at Notre Dame. Margaret Deal in love with a man of much achieved fame— Is planning to change her name. Charles Smith with his lovely curly hair— Is now playing the leading role in, “Don’t Shave My Head for the Electric Chair.” Pauline Deal taking dictations from her boss, Has to be very efficient, With never a minute lost. Richard Teeter a Carolina football star, Was given a free sight-seeing trip to the planet Mars. To market, to market to buy a fat pig, because it will take it since Christie Shuping and Fraley have several small jigs. His friendliness shall always last, Charles Drye— Owner of all the textile mills just past. Betty Jean Rary having fun as always, Is still taking trips to Portsmouth For a week or a few days. An upright citizen and a fine policeman of his day— Is Stanley Upright with his happy-go-lucky ways. Gladys Teeter with her pretty blonde hair, Has found it worth while to have ambition, Because now she is a world-famous beautician. Joan Sifford a teacher of math— Still finds herself having to laugh. Eugene Freeze owner of the greatest commercials on the air— Has just put on a new one— Entitled, “Obtaining Waves in Your Hair.” Johnsie Morgan was tops in Bible Class, Now a Bible Teacher herself, And only a few this good left. Claudia Shuffler now owns one of the largest shoe stores in the State. And opens every morning promptly at eight. Benny Davis is fathoms below— Seeking for goldfish in H20. Louise Weaver famous as a baseball player— Gets to shake hands with everyone—even the mayor. He has hundreds of orchards in Florida— Now addressed as—Mr. Charles Carter. Modeling is much hard work—Peggy Cress fears. She thinks it would be simpler if ordered through Sears. The largest theatre owner is Richard Cress, always friendly and looking his best. With Ruth Trexler as a nurse— Everyone tries to see who can get hurt first. Now to close this funny chatter, And then start back down the ladder. If I must say so myself, that if I were able, only the best things To these Seniors would I have left. Good luck to all you Seniors, And on your happy tour— I pray that God will keep your minds open And your loving hearts pure. “BET” MAULT, Prophet Last Will And Testament We, the Senior Class of 1950, of the town of China Grove, state of North Carolina, being of questionably sane mind, do hereby make, ordain and establish this as our last wall and testament.

Signed, BENNY DAVIS, Lawyer Class History Realizing that the end of our four years of high school has come, we want to pause a moment to recall our fun and studies at China Grove High School. As Freshmen we thought the journey awfully long; but looking back after reaching our goal, it seems to have been very short. Now that the hardships of school have vanished, many pleasant memories will long linger with us. In the fall of 1946, 121 anxious boys and girls gathered at China Grove High to begin the journey, With the help of our sponsors, Miss Eaton, Miss Fowler, Mr. Veitch, and Mr. Cannon, principal, we soon became accustomed to high school and settled down for work. Sidney Kluttz was elected class president. At the end of our first year we found we had only 107 members. When we returned to school in the fall of 1947, we found our number reduced to 88. It was easier to settle down this year as the class was a little more advanced and had a greater determination, for now we were Sophomores. Mr. Carson was school principal, and Mrs. Goodman, Miss Abernathy, and Miss Broadway were class sponsors. David Beaver, president, led the class very successfully with 72 members at the close of school. On entering school the next fall we felt happy and important over the fact that we were Juniors, a class of 72. Richard Teeter returned to school with our class after being away a year due to an accident one evening while hunting. After having been elected president he led the class in numerous activities; the two most imporant were the Fall Festival and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Mrs. Bostian and Miss Turner were class sponsors, and Mr. Carson, principal. After returning to school in 1949, we were fortunate to have as leaders for our busiest year, Carl Patterson, president; Mrs. Corriher, sponsor; and Mrs. Odell, advisor. Charles Carter and L. M. Carter entered our class, thus making a total of 63 Seniors. Leading the social events for the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. A Senior Play was also pre¬ sented under the direction of Miss Abernathy. Then on May 23, 1950, Mr. Carson presented diplomas to 63 Seniors, which ended our happy high school days. Since these thrilling high school days are over, we must move farther into our future which depends largely on the accomplishments made the last four years. The friendships and experiences at China Grove High will cling with us as we seek the higher things in life. JANE ELLER, Class Historian Juniors CLASS OFFICERS Dickie Ayers. President Kelly Barger.
