FOOTSTEPS ANN CABELL The dawn steps lightly over the woods On an April morning, Bending the treetops, Waking the birds Just as the spring is a-borning. The rain has feet that tap and run, Racing with the thunder, Silvering aspens, Polishing stones, Pushing the heat asunder. Quietly come the feet of the snow. Swift, in doeskin sandals, Dropping a soft veil Gently over Earth and the stars’ far candles. (Courtesy Washington Post) V y.v- r: ■ xif? fP ' .M “Thou wert my guide, philosopher and friend” . . . Pope §i|fl dedicate our annual to our beloved coach, Robert Linder. For his guid¬ ance, his unerring example in good character, and his friendly ways will never leave our hearts.

SnapsAo s � §c Senior S a is ics THE HISTORY OF THE 1957 SENIORS OF CHINA GROVE HIGH SCHOOL In May our high school years will be finished, and then they will only become memories. After final exams, senior privileges, and gradua¬ tion, the ’57 Seniors will leave the place of honor to the rising senior class. It is not very hard for us to remember our first year of high school. One hundred and eighteen bewildered freshmen were enrolled. As fresh¬ men we elected Carol Corriher as our president. We began our sophomore year with one hundred and seven students. Our class president was Eugene Haire. This was not a very eventful year; but as we started our junior year, things really began to happen. One hundred and four students started with the class. John Shinn became presi¬ dent this year. We had the usual magazine sale and Halloween Carnival, which were very successful. In the spring we sponsored the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held at the Hotel Concord. The theme of the banquet was “Southern Plantation.” This long-awaited event closed our junior year with many happy memories. Becoming a senior was a thrill to all of the eighty returning seniors. This year Eugene Haire again became our president. Our last year has been the most exciting of all. The highlights of our senior year were: The senior play, “The Bishop’s Mantle”; the Junior-Senior banquet sponsored by the juniors; our exciting sightseeing trip to Washington; class night; and the graduation of our seventy-six seniors. Without the mindful guidance of our parents and teachers, we feel that we would not have been able to reach this far. Soon each one of us will go our separate ways. As we leave school and go out to face the future, each senior will be bearing in mind our class motto, “Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.” Historian Sarah Wilhelm Gfass Itiiff LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of 1957, having reached the end of our school days at China Grove, wish to bequeath some of the possessions we have accumulated during our school years.

Norma Fleming, leave my love for school to everyone in the hopes that they will enjoy it as much as I have. Lawyer: Norma Fleming Cj ass Prophecy It was a spring morning when I awoke and rolled off my favorite park bench. I sat in the cool air and thought back over my happy years as a space ranger, and later a bum. But being a bum has its advantages. Through the years of traveling around the country and through space, I have kept in contact with, or have read about, my friends of bygone days in high school. I clearly remember STEVE SMITH, who in 1962, broke the Sound Barrier in a hopped-up Ford. Some years previous to this he had been breaking ear drums with his mufflers, and STEVE TORRENCE, a great Antarctic explorer, who discovered the South Pole 80 years too late. Once in Chicago I watched CONNIE RAY perform in a dare devil group, who specialized in turning over flaming cars. In Life Magazine, 1 read about BETTY PROPST, who was awarded the Brain Breaker prize for her book, “Stupid Questions.” FRANKLIN ROWELL, another of my friends, achieved distinction as the first person to crash a jet plane in China Grove High School. I have read that CLINTON ABERNATHY is now a wealthy manufacturer of “firm grip” a paste to hold in false teeth. PEGGY BEAVER was awarded the Nursing Prize of the year for losing only an even dozen patients. One of my friends from South End, SIDNEY COLLINS is now full owner of “Collins Beach.” A boy I played football with, LEONARD CRESS, is now Head Coach of Physical Education, and football at Woman’s College in South Africa. WAYNE DAVIS is now the President of our local juvenile delinquent club. BUDDY McCLURE is now Head Water Boy for the Washington Red Skins. Hitchhiking through a city I saw a Dime Store operated by SUE ALLMAN and next to it a Dancing School for Tall Girls operated by NORMA FLEMING. I met LARRY THOMPSON one day and found out he was employed as head nut cracker in a Pecan Factory. Once out West I stopped to rest at a ranch owned by CARL INGRAM, a noted horse and grasshopper breeder. I read in a two-week old newspaper where MAX BOSTAIN, a noted Botanist developed an onion which has a zipper so you can peel it without crying. In a movie once I saw two classmates, DORIS SHOE and JUNE BLACKWELDER. Doris was receiving an award for her splendid acting in her recent movie “Lady From Siberia.” June was shown board¬ ing a plane for Europe to study to be a Medical Technician. Passing by Carnegie Hall I noticed the Billboard starring CAROL CORRIHER, a famed concert Pianist. In November I stopped in and saw GARY BEAVER’S football team, from Cuba, win a smashing victory 6-3. I recall meeting STEVE SHUPING on a space ship, Goof-Ball, headed for Mars. As a Space Ranger I once recall talking to EUGENE HAIRE, an A. B. C. man, who first captured CLARENCE TREXLER, an outer space bootlegger. Eugene was a general in the Air Force until he was busted for selling Atom Bumbs at a discount house. Once while on a space patrol mission, checking licenses in outer space I met DONALD HEGLAR, developer of that wonder drug for love sickness. I also wrote HAROLD OVERCASH a citation for speeding near Venus, but he can afford it, he invented those new pants “stretcho for tall men.” Another note from the sports world is from GENE O’KELLEY, now playing Ice Hockey for the Rib Crackers of Enochville. Nancy Patterson is high scorer for the Harlem Globe I rotters now playing in India. Illustrated in a sports magazine was STEVE MORRISON’S Tavern, a hang-out for Veterans of Foreign Football Games. DONALD GOODNIGHT was voted the best manager of the year, for stealing 4,288 towels without getting caught. A few of our prominent inventors: SONNY LIPPARD who invented that wonder machine “See it now,” a device for copying test papers across the room. NORMAN JORDAN invented a new engine the V-iy 2 . JERRY RAPE developed a new breed of sheep that grow steel wool, used for pot and pan cleaners. NORMAN ALBRIGHT crossed a chicken and woodpecker, whose only food is sawdust. Quite a number of our classmates have succeeded in business and Fashions, MELBA DAVIS succeeded in becoming an outstanding designer of bathing suits for men of Tibet. GAIL LANGSTON is now leading sports car designer with the Ivy League Look. LOUISE HOUSTON was elected the nation’s top model for the fashion world with her slim, trim look in Red Camel overalls. SL E HART is now a leading hair designer for that new hair style, whirlpool, for which she models. MARY ANN SMITH is now head architect for those “go modern” dog houses. REBECCA KIMBALL, a famous torch singer, is now featured on Jolly Junction. JUDY WALKER, SYBIL JORDAN, SHIRLEY WALKER and KAROLYN BUTTS, having formed the CArce Four, are now appearing in the Birdland Basement owned by BILL PHILLIPS, and who are accompanied by his band “The Bop-Slop-Boppins in New York. I often hear over the radio NORVEL SPRINKLE and his band playing their famous song, “Dig me later alligater with a steam shovel.” Once I was picked up by LLOTD CASPER, a State Highway Patrol Officer, on a vagrancy charge. While in jail I read several ancient magazines and ran across the names of classmates in the Professional World. JACKIE WALLACE is a professor at Harvard Lhiiversity. One of her courses is Learn Hoiv to Wrestle in Five Easy Lessons. MADELINE NORTON is now the new principal at China Grove Elementary School.

LINDA FORD was voted the best housekeeper of the year. Dr. JOHN SHINN is the new creator of the wonder drug “you wonder what it does to you.” After recalling ail my famous classmates I decided to make something out of my wasted life. 1 then walked from the park to the nearest recruiting station and enlisted in the space cadets. Your Prophet, Ned Wilson P. S. CHARLES KIMBALL became an overnight millionaire with his discovery of water wings for ducks.
