GQSJ yjI'0!0gQCy Say, have you ever been in one of those time machines? Well, a few weeks ago, I went to visit my uncle in California and had an experience I'll never forget. I saw an inventor who let you go into his time machine to see your future Qfor a buck every fif- teen minutesj, claimed fortune-tellers were out of date. Upon entering, I found my- self in another world, I knew everybody and yet they seemed different. The first per- son I saw was Janet Kay Freeman. What's going on? I asked. She said, I've been out to lunch and I'm due back at the office right now. I'm a private secretary for that lawyer, Richard Winters. She rushed on and I went into a little teashop to collect my thoughts. I must be in the future, l concluded. What'11 you have? a voice boomed at me. I looked up and Larry Oxendine was standing there. He was running the shop. As I left, I accidentally ran into a woman rushing hurriedly down the street. As she stopped, I recognized Lynn Ann Tipton, running to meet an engagement at the Roan Mountain Modeling Agency. A car zoomed by me with two girls in it. Bill Hampton walked up to me just then. That was Wilma Street and Naomi Holtsclaw, still living it up. He had a very pleased look on his face. Stil1 run around a little myself. I learned that Mildred Miller was in Europe with her Italian husband. I picked up a news- paper and read that Dickey Buckner had just piloted the first spring rocket to the moon with passengers taking their spring vacation, They were: Amy Smith Qthat girl always was a lover of naturej. I. R. Street, a reporter for the local newspaper, Barbara Jarrett, Barbara Tedder, and Edna Stockton were going to get jobs in some of those top paying air-manufacturing plants. Also on vacation were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Burleson qof course some of us will recognize her as being the former Peggy Lowej. I found Mary Guinn acting as secretary to our Ambassador to England at this time, Margaret Roark. Joe Ellis and Lowell Shell were in business together as girdle manufacturers. Wilma Jarrett was their advertising agent. Janice Banner and Nora Stafford were housewives, content at last, the way I heard it. Jimmy Storie was out on his farm watching soil- tester, Herb Buck, test his soil for womts. Mayme Grant was receptionist in Dr. Lonnie Brewer's office, What about Wayne Morgan, Pete Potter, and Bill Clark? Well, it seems Pete is playing pro football these days, Wayne is ln the cattle business, but Bill - well he's just hanging around wishing the other two would quit so they could go to the South Sea Islands and lie in the sun and drink coconut juice all day. As to those two girls that run around so much, I'm speaking of Rose Anne Martin and Barbara Church, it seems that they are co-authors of that terribly good smash hit, Roan Mountain Place. Standing around in army clothes were Lawrence Boone and Allen Miller. Their com- manding officer is Col. Jimmy Guinn, Harlan Banner was the owner of the gas station where I stopped to have my car serviced. Patsy Morgan was owner of an exclusive dress shop, with Phyllis Presnell as her top seamstress. Frances Hodge was the English teacher at Roan Mountain University. Tommy Jarrett was shown as a top jazz-dmmmer. Sue Holtsclaw and Geraldine Hughes were WACS, Kate Storie was a nurse. Hey, I'm getting the signal my time is almost up, but wait I see the Governor coming down the street. That was Wade Hughes, the photographer, that snapped her picture. Her, yes, Frances Hitechew won the election with the platform: Dual Highways, one for main traffic and one for drag-racers. I must get out of herel ll

Gfzss jigsfofy In Aug1.1st, 1955, a group of approximately 84 students, who had just completed eight years of foundation for their future, were very much alarmed at their new environment. We were entering high school with the air of adventure, knowing we were going to make these years our most en- joyable ones. Linda Bingham was crowned our Homecoming Queen. Our class officers were: President, Frances l-litechewg Vice President, Lawrence Boone, Secretary and Treasurer, Peggy Lowe: Reporter, Janet Kay Freeman. Class Advisors were: Mrs. Norma Kuntz and Mr. Clark Morton. As our journey continued into the second year as silly sophomores, there were '77 of us to maintain our goal. Again our candidate for Home- coming Queen, Miss Clara Sue Holtsclaw, won. Barbara Jarrett was se- lected as Miss Sophomore and Frances Hitechew as Miss Cloudland High School. Both were selected by Pat Boone. Our class officers were: President, Bobby Graybealp Vice President, Dean McCouryg Secretary, Rose Ann Matting Treasurer, Dickey Bucknerg Song Leader, Lynn Ann Tiptong Reporter, Margaret Roark. Our class sponsors were Mr. Clark Morton, Miss Hazel Hart, and Mr. Roy Young. Our third year marked us as upper-classmen. There were 62 of us to continue our journey as dignified juniors. Coming on the scene this year were seven new faculty members, and this change helped to create a. more interesting year. During this year we received our class rings. One event which will be marked in our memories was the burning of our 'Ole Alma Mater by fire on December 16, 1957. Our class officers were: President, Bi11Crum1eyg Vice President, Ken Young, Secretary, Frances Hitechewg Treasurer, Margaret Roarkg Song Leader, Dean McCoury. Our class sponsors were Mr. Marvin Swiney, Mr. Newell Shell, and Mrs. Margaret Propst. This, our last year, there were 47 of the students remaining who started out in 1955. This year marked the end of a chain of wonderful times which has made a class of skillful students. Our crowning glory is, of course, our diploma, but one of the most memorable is the annual trip to our Nation's Capitol in Washington, D. C. We have some very helpful advisors who are: Mr. James Potter, Mrs. Mary Houston, and Miss Sally Cates. Our class officers are: President, Tommy Burlesong Vice President, Lawrence Booneg Secretary, Frances Hitechewg Treasurer, Peggy Lowe. In the future we will look upon these years as having played the greatest role in molding our present lives into what they are. We can thank our teachers and sponsors for their guidance and assistance to help us be good citizens both in school and out in life.
