As we stand on the threshold of life, we are struck by the realization of the unbending efforts of oar parents to guide us to the goal which would help us in our strife for success in this, our future. Their efforts have not been in vain, for by them we shall strive to be all they would have us be. In recognition of your untiring efforts we also dedicate this annual to you, our parents: Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Phelps, Mr. and Mrs H. C. Berry, Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

As we travel down our pathway, we leave our best to you. May you remember us as we are, Our smiles and tears together, After we reach our future star. We know there is much to face in life, While going down our pathway, With smiles—mistakes and combats of strife. But now we think of our teachers for their kind deeds, Those Who Prepare for It. POEM For trying to help us in learning, and replenishing our needs. Our thanks repayed we know not when, To everyone because we are friends. And as the golden sun is sinking, And the red rose you will see, While of others we are thinking, We will often think of thee, And hope that you will not forget: The Future Belongs to Those Who Prepare for It.

CLASS HISTORY Is it actually true that our twelve years of school are over and we are graduating? It is true, yet it seems as if it were only yesterday that Mrs. Clara Alexander taught us our ABC ' s at the age of 6 when we were so timid—before we knew it we had grown out of our timidness, learned our ABC’s and were promoted to the second grade where Mrs. Camille Everton and Miss Ireland continued to teach us. After learning to read This is Ray, “Ray can run, etc., we stepped in grade three where Mrs. Helen Melson and Miss Taylor taught us. With the time slipping by very fast we were soon stepping in grade four where Miss Martha Sykes, and Mrs. Elsie Holloway helped us through the hardest grade in school. By that time we were learning very fast, so Miss Rose Bateman and Mrs. Elsie Holloway said that they would be in charge of us for the next nine months and teach us the things we should know at that age. Then one bright day staring be¬ fore us was grade six, with Miss Maggie Owens as our teacher. That was another year of learning and play. The end of that year was the halfway mark between here and there in our high school education. The much loved Mrs. Florence Chaplin and the new teacher, Mr. Tom Reynolds, helped us to en¬ large our education in the seventh grade. That year went by very quickly and we thought we had learned everything until we entered the eighth grade where Miss Roxy Jones increased our vocabulary and let us study current events. It was during that year that we gained a new classmate, Mary Elizabeth (Tibbie) Daniels, who moved to our town. At the close of that year when we received our report cards and they said promoted to grade nine” we were excited and thought it was only a dream, yet when that bright sunny day in September came and we entered the ninth grade we knew it was not a dream. For a while we moved around not knowing what to do with ourselves, in our new school life_so we were given the title of Freshmen and were called Fresh. It was harder for the five students who came from Gun Neck since they were entering a strange school, and new high school life with strange people They were Julia Parisher, Nora Dean Patrick, Kathleen Jones, Mona Combs, and Bryan Liverman Graham Bateman, Joe Cammon, and Lee Berry came from other schools to be with us yet Joe left us after our Freshman year to begin his Sophomore year at Roper High. At the same time seven of our classmates left us for various reasons, they were: Mona Combs, Betty Davenport, Sarah Brickhouse Iris Rae Crad- d °5 k KG M ?� 7„ LlVer S nan ' Corine Belle 0wens ' and Am Carolyn Williams. Miss Mary Elizabeth Midyette and Mr William Bateman were our home room teachers that year. The other teachers were ' Miss Bal¬ ance, Mr. Baker, Mrs. McClees, Mr. Riddick, Mrs. Young and Miss Brickhouse. After learning and passing all the trials and terrors of our Freshman year we stepped in the Sooho- T°, r l cl f s wh f efe w t e l ? ecame r se - That year was s P snt in learnin § how to get by without having to study and learning to get along with our upper classmates. Mr William Bateman was our home room teacher nff, h L ehas , falthful| y gf ' ded us through our remaining high school years. We had three break ,n h M f ye fw ft ? ey ere Miss Hooper ' Mlss Sum re!

Dear Diary: My airliner landed at an airport in Atlanta at noon, and I found a char- tered bus waiting to take me to my hotel. Upon inquiry, I learned that it had been sent by the Man¬ ager of Atlanta s bus lines, Graham Bateman. Everyone expected Giz to make good because of the way he drove No. 15 at Columbia in 1950. That hilarious Comedian, Ernest Sutton, is making a personal appearance at a theater here and is bringing down the house with his impersonation of Bob Hope I at¬ tended a baseball games in which Rosa Lee Barnes pitched for the Women ' s Baseball League and I was slightly injured by a fancy curve that went out of control. I was taken to the hospital for treatment and to my surprise I found Kathleen Jones was head nurse. My doctor was Frank Alexander who talked so much I was glad when they released me. May 17, 1960. Dear Diary: I am now in Norfolk, Va. A big ship was launched here this morning. Admiral Lee Berry was appointed by the Navy to command this vessel, which is named SS Columbia ' 50 On hand to christen the great ship, was May Elizabeth (Tibbie) Daniels, recently voted America ' s Model Wife. Winnie Davenport, who, after accepting a position as stenographer for the FBI, married J. Edgar Hoover ' s son, was present in her old wise-cracking self. Off the harbor stands the Parisher-Patrick Bub¬ ble Gum factoy. owned by Julia Parisher and Nora Dean Patrick. An outstanding advertising feature of this firm is a mechanical mouth suspended from the roof, which blows multi-colored bubbles. May 18, 1960. Dear Diay: Here I am in Washington! At the White House yesterday, I visited President James Laughinghouse. James, having had so many places of leadership, decided to aim for a slightly higher office, and is now leading the world in peace and happiness. May 19, I960. Dear Diay: This is where I sign off: Hollywood. Over at Twentieth Centuy Fox Studio today, I talked with Cora Ainsley, who was having a gown fitted by the successful dress designer, Jackie Fay Reynolds. Cora has the starring role in the movie, Disgusted. Incidentally Jackie has been named the world ' s best dressed woman of the year. Since I have covered all the remarkable Seniors of ' 50, I’ll sign off simply as: Mrs. W. B.
