Many of you will probably question the soundness of my new machine, but I ' d like to test it out tonight to see if it really has the power to foretell the future. I think it would be very appropriate to use it to find out if my classmates of 1950 have achieved their ambitions. As the future unfolds before me I should like to share with you what I find. ELIZABETH BULGER was a dentist ' s assistant for several years, but she must have decided to try out the Opportunities for Young People on Virginia Farms for she is now happily married to a pros¬ perous farmer. BECKY DELANO has finished her secretarial course aid now has a good position in one of the offices in our state capital. Her expert typing has made her one of the best secretaries in her department. MELVIN FOXWELL just couldn ' t leave the broad, blue Potomac and Is very busy since he opened his large seafood plant where Virginia ' s finest fish and oysters are packed and shipped to many states. MARIANA HERBERT must have used her southern charm that she acquired in Professor, How Could You! for she has fulfilled her ambition and returned from a honeymoon which was spent at Niagara Falls. NORMAN HUNDLEY became interested in scientific research and has become famous since his recent discovery of a new species of poisonous water snake. One may see him in his spare moments brows¬ ing through a stack of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics. EDITH ELLEN LUTHY has completed her secretarial course and now enjoys a view of the Potomac through the picture window which has been her dream for so long. MICKEY TAYLOE has become a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star. He got his start playing the part of Lulabelle in Professor, How Could You I SIDNEY JENKINS has become one of the most successful watermen in the Northern Neck. We hope that he likes it as well as Cople High School and will stick to it as long. SEDONIA ALLEN has completed her business course and is now a bookkeeper for the Wilson Machine Shop. As I turn off my forecasting machine I am very happy that so many of my classmates have been so successful in their work. My only wish is that they continue to prosper in everything they do. Sedonla Allen Our little class of nine, graduating in the year 1950, an easy date to remember, is the smallest in a number of years; but to us it is the most important class ever graduated because it is our own. We came up into high school from Mrs. Douglas ' seventh grade in 1946, a group of 23 girls and boys, eager for the greater excitement and privilege of high school pupils and delighted at last to be out of the grades . Instead of the old problem of learning one new teacher ' s ways and wishes, we now had to learn those of six; Mr. Luthy, our principal - whom it has been our good fortune to have with us all through our high school days; Mrs. Norris, who taught us our math. I and general science; Miss Edwards, our English teacher; Mr. Taylor and later Mr. Hudson in charge of the agricultural course; and Mrs. Sanford, home economics teacher. Our first year was also the first year of Mrs. Ryerson, who came to us from New Hampshire, and proved her ability in directing the winning one-act play and Stratford minuet. Since then there have been many changes in the staff. Miss Edwards, Mrs. Sanford, Mr. Lowder and Mrs. Norris have left and been replaced by Miss Bouldin, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Tayloe and Mr. Casey from Mississippi. There were several highlights of our sophomore year. We shall long remember the embarrassment of our many pig-tailed heads and wrong-side-out dresses the day we were initiated into the Home Ec. Club. Edith Ellen Luthy was a charming miss in hoops and powdered hair in the minuet presented at Stratford. Mickey Tayloe shone as leading man in the one-act play Three ' s A Crowd . After having pro¬ cured the plate from the corner of the auditorium and eaten our lunches in our rooms for eight years, we were thrilled when our lunch room opened on November first, a new cinder block building apart from the main building. In our junior year the first annual in several years, The Travel¬ ler , was put out successfully under the direction of Miss Bouldin. Our own first big affair, the Junior-Senior Banquet, came in March. Sedonia Allen, our class president, gave the welcome to the seniors and Edith Ellen Luthy was junior giftorian. A skit Put Down Six and Carry Two , was presented by Mariana Herbert, Mickey Tayloe, Sydney Jenkins and Becky Delano. That same year when graduation came all of the girls sang in the Glee Club, directed by Mr. Luthy. Edith Ellen played a piano solo; also the Processional and Recessional. During the summer Norman Hundley was sent by the American Legion to a conference at V. P. I. to learn various aspects of the government of the state of Virginia. At last September, 1949, came and we were seniors. Prom our orig¬ inal 23 freshmen, we had lost 16: Jack Boyce, Booker Carlson, Irving Daiger, James Davis, Franklin Foxwell, Herbert King, Charles Richards, Robert Tolson, Joan Dungan, Frances Evans, Lillian Evans, Florence Her¬ bert, Susie Herbert, Minnie Kilmon, Frances Morris and Elizabeth Morris. Sydney Jenkins joined us in our junior year. Now we number in our ranks nine seniors; Melvin Foxwell, Norman Hundley, Mickey Tayloe, Sydney Jen¬ kins, Sedonia Allen, Rebecca Delano, Mariana Herbert, Edith Ellen Luthy and Elizabeth Bulger, who transferred from Callao, attracted by our new commercial courses in bookkeepping, typing and shorthand. During our four years many notable changes have been made in the appearance of the school. The entire Inside of the school, classrooms and auditorium have been repainted. A beautiful new stage curtain was bought and fluorescent lights have been placed in the classrooms. Our senior play, Professor, How Could You? , was presented in Dec¬ ember under Mrs. Norris ' able direction and was a lot of fun for all of us. In the Essay Contest sponsored by the Virginia Bankers ' Association Elizabeth Bulger won first place in the school and county contests and second place in the district contest at Oak Grove. It is most unusual for a class to have a student with perfect atten¬ dance all through high school but we can claim not one student but two, Edith Ellen and Mickey, who have had perfect attendance since the begin¬ ning of the seventh grade. With the approach of spring the senior home economics girls were privileged to tour Miller Rhoads, the publication of the annual took high priority. Safety Patrol was re-organized and commencement parts were given out. And now the class of 1950 is approaching the time when it will take its place In the annals of Cople High School. As we go on our sep¬ arate ways, may we keep in mind Madeline Bridges ' advice, Then give the world the best you have and the best will come back to you. Absent..Earl Sadler FRANKLIN FOXvYELL JR.
