We ' ve racked our brain, sweated our brow. And made it through the grades, somehow. Some of us can speak French very well, While others think Algebra is swell. We know- we can count ec and ag‘ And typing also, in the bag. Now at graduation we ' ve arrived, To find schooling ' s been survived. At last we leave here calm and cool.

CLASS II1ST0HY It was in September of 39 that we as first-graders, made our appearance at Co umb ' h Never had anyone seen such a brilliant group of youngsters. Mrs. Cam,lie Everton and Mr Cla Alexander discovered many, until then, hidden talents. They succeeded ,n transferring us to the sec- d grad in time for Miss Ireland and Mrs. Rachel Spencer to teach us to take naps and really read and write. Reading and writing were a cinch. Naps, however, presented a problem even to us. Now. I can ' t understand, for the life of me, why we didn ' t take advantage of such pleasures In the third grade, Mrs. Helen Melson struggled to lead us through the chain gang in time for Miss Martha Sykes to guide us in the fourth grade. Long will be remembered the old tin can wars and the importance some of us felt when we were made Captain of our row, for a week, for learning more spelling words correctly or being better students in other studies. Miss Rose Bateman proved to be the prettiest teacher we had ever had. Her understanding and helpfulness made us hate to leave her, but despite all our affections we learned to love Miss Maggie Owens when we entered the sixth grade. It was during that year that several of us learned sections of the dictionary because of ill conduct. We thought a lot of Miss Maggie and when she passed away last year it was a blow to everyone. Mrs. Florence Chaplin was another of our very nice teachers. Her sympathy and encouragement made each of us feel important. Crying when summer vacation came was practically unheard of until the seventh grade when we broke down and said goodbye to Mrs. Chaplin. Then we were in the eighth grade. This was the year that Mrs. Gladys Midyette came to Columbia and her teaching us will not be forgotten. She surely is due a bouquet of roses for the many weeks she spent in the hos¬ pital recovering from laryngitis suffered by shouting reprimands at us. I guess everyone has their fling. Believe me this was the year for us. Many distinguished visitors came to talk with us, includ¬ ing the principal and superintendent. Their attentions were greatly respected. Nearly everyone gets acquainted with their upper classmen during their first year of high school, which we didn ' t have to do! Anyone not acquainted witfi us was spared only by running when we ap¬ peared. Really menace wasn ' t the word to be used for us. One should be sociable, shouldn ' t one? Miss Alyce Sumrell and Miss Etta Frances Hooper were with us that year. You have never seen or heard of so many parties and disputes. Miss Sumrell finally gave more parties but Miss Hooper taught us the real meaning of Shut Up and “Get Out. Don ' t lets forget the new friends we had! Alma Dean Cohoon, Irv in Everton, Nanette Jones, and Eudora Patrick were here from Gum Neck. All four proved themselves worthy of our highest expectations as had Russell Spencer and Allan Cohoon who came from Gum Neck in the seventh and eighth grades respectively. By passing a minimum of. three subjects we found ourselves -Sophomores. Gone were the days when we had to be initiated and looked down upon. Mrs. Jane Tilson and Mr. Horace Thompson in¬ structed us that year. At that stage of our high school career we practiced using the balconies as they should be used (Continued on page 53) PROPHECY Ooh ' Boy. what a headache! Let ' s see what day is this ? Oh yes. June 1st, 1975 . My headache must be from the party last night. What party? Why the reunion of the 1951 graduation class, of Oh! My eye is really black. Wonder how that happened. Oh yes, now I remember. I made a pass at the lady wrestler, Mary Basnight, and she stuck my head through the television set. Nan Simmons, who is the tattooed lady in a circus, nearly stopped the party when she began showing her tattoos. She came all the way from Seattle, Washington, for the party. Amanda Rey¬ nolds. who is billed by the same circus as “The World ' s Thinnest Woman, ' 1 came with her. Allan Cohoon is now employed as a taster for Schenley ' s Distilleries, Inc. Most folks claim that he is paid over fifty thousand dollars a year but actually it costs him two dollars a pint. The pictures of Sterling Hamilton and Irvin Everfon have been shown in every newspaper in the country. Sterling ' s picture is labeled “before taking HADACOL. while Irvin ' s is titled after. Bobby Everton has become quite a Romeo” and has been tried twice for bigamy but was released when he proved that he was irresistible and that the women forced him to marry them. We all missed Billy Spruill but.he was unable to attend since His in the middle:of an important experiment. He is trying to prove that a human can sleep for a week. He says that he has never actually been wide awake. Edna Etheridge became famous when she discovered that “The Thing” was a picture of Irene and ' K ' lroy driving the Mule Train with a load of HADACOL Gaye Hopkins was once a professional football player, but she was so rough that now they pay her not to play Nanette Jones is bouncer at a bar in New York but she is thinking of quitting because things are too dull She has not had to throw anyone out since she broke Joe Louis ' back. Ethel Rhodes became a nurse. She fell in love and married a patient who said that he was Sena¬ tor LeBlanc. but she got a divorce when she found that he was actually No. 725694 from Dix Hill. One of the high spots of the party was when Ray McClees. a jetcycle salesman, and his assist¬ ant. Jean Woodley, did their version of the Charleston. Ray claims that by riding his jetcycle regularly he will do the Charleston on his one hundredth birthday. During the entire night the rival musicians, Jimmy Alexander and Milton Snell, tried to outplay each other. Finally they both collapsed from exhaustion. Alma Dean Cohoon, Carolyn Simmons, and Eudora Patrick, who have long been housewives, spent the first part of the night worrying about what.

Without too mu ‘ h br ° in n e ?j in9 ( T became Juniors -, ?ur Junior Year proved to be the storm after rtlwa K S eyS Ba ' d P° ,e ' , b , e L most u usual P a Y ever given here, was presented on De¬ cember 2 by us. Superior acting and lighting effects made it a terrific success. To increase our ry atement the class rings came on December 6. It must have been at least a month before any Junior was seen without their third finger pro|ected into someone ' s face. March 24 found us in the auditorium putting on the lost minute finishing touches before the big moment when our guests, the Seniors and our dates, would behold the scenic tropica islands and palm trees from the decks of the S. S Junior- Semor. Had the boys known how true this scene might prove to be in the coming years they probably wouldnt have enpyed it quite so much. Brenda Hales and jimmy Smith, our mascots entertained us with a weiner roast at the beach and Mrs Tilsan entertained us with delicious hamburgers at her house. Hearing Mrs. Tilson explain that she wouldnt be teaching the next year brought tears to the girls eyes and the boys had to leave. She was truly a great teacher for us. 9 Y Mr Bateman was our instructor during the Senior year. He proved to us that you can do things for ThTt V Th U l y ,r X T, U ° ' was publi L shed b y us and we sure| y obtained experience from that task The Juniors that year didn ' t argue with us and we learned to think a lot of them. It seemed nice not to have the usual Junior-Senior feuds. Although we had to attend school in the auditorium it was well worth the time and headaches to see the co-operation we got from our lower classmen Again we were entertained by our mascots, this time at Carleys. Cocoanut pie and coffee certainly were enjoyable to us. ' And now as we look forward to finishing our Senior year we are also looking toward the Junior- Senior Banquet which we hope will be given us by the Juniors and to presenting a Senior play. As we leave school life and go into life ' s school let us say Farewell to our classmates who have been with us for the past twelve years and also to the faculty and our school friends.
