God’s angel of death came suddenly and unexpectedly and carried him away when we were in the sixth grade. Though he is no longer with us, as we have ’left the grades and come into high school and into senior activities, we have never forgotten him and feel that foremost in our minds is the dedi¬ cation of this, pur yearbook, to the memory of a. dear friend and classmate --J.

Class History After eight years of drilling and training we twenty-five sailors were judged capable and fit to launch our ship on a four year voyage that would complete our training and prepare us to take up life for ourselves. (Our crew had decreased by fifty-three members since the fall of 1942.) Our captain that year was Mrs. Glenn Noland with Sybil Bradshaw, Jewel Dotson, and Doris Kinsland serving as officers under her. The first thrilling event of our journey came when we were able to attend the F.H.A. and F.F.A. Banquets. The second year of our journey found us better tra ined seamen and feeling more dignified. We entered into more social affairs than we did the year before. Our captain was the same as the year before, and Jewel Dotson, Roy Pope, and Harrison Caldwell helped her to keep the ship steady. The tide was high when we began our third year voyage. Mrs. Frank Kirkpatrick was at the tiller this year with Sybil Bradshaw, Billy Best, and Jewel Dee Ferguson to help her direct the course. Three of our members had abandoned the ship and two new members had come on board. The excitement began to rise. We ordered our rings to proper¬ ly identify us as third year seamen. We Juniors were apparently ahead- ache to the faculty, for we were far more interested in the Junior-Senior Banquet, ‘ ‘Hitch Y our Wagon to a Star, and our Junior play, ‘Grandpa ’ s Twin Sister, ” than in our studies. We were sorry to see the seniors before us go, but we were thrilled at the thought of taking their places. In the fall of 1953 our ship was entering the last year of its journey. Mrs. O. L. Yates was our captain with Billy Best, Harrison Caldwell, Roy Pope, and Jewel Dee Ferguson to help her drop anchor at the end of the way. (Two members had jumped the ship.) The first thingto thinkabout was the annual, followed by the choosing of invitations, pres¬ entation of the class play, the Junior-Senior Banquet, where we were the honored ones, and graduation preparations. All too soon, we left our beloved ship, dear ole Crabtree-Iron Duff, that has trained us for bigger and better futures. Thus ends the history of our class- The class of ‘54; May our happy days be remembered- By each of us and many more. Valaree Henderson, Historian Cast Will And Testament We, the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Four, of Crabtree-Iron Duff School, in the county of Haywood, the State of North Carolina, being of sound mind and realizing our impending departure from this school, do here by declare and make this our last will and testament. Article I. To Mr. Safford, we wish to express our many thanks for the interest and lead¬ ership he has shown us during the past years. To our teachers, we leave our deep¬ est appreciation for their efforts toward increasing our wisdom. Article II.

To the Sophomores and Freshmen, we leave our hopes that before long they will occupy the position that we now occupy. Article IV.

As I sit here in the lobby of a California Hotel, now owned by Roy Pope, I think of the good times we had back at Crabtree - Iron Duff High. Isn’t it surprising about Mark Brown and Eugene Arrington work¬ ing for Roy? I always thought Mark would settle down at The Champion Paper and Fibre Company. Seeing these boys makes me wonder what became of the rest of the class. What is all that noise outside ? Why it is no other than Thad Craw¬ ford, chauffeuring beauty contestants! I always knew Thad was good at driving a bu.s, but I never knew he would be a chauffeur for beauty con¬ testants. Who are those girls in the car ? Why it is Bonnie Sue Justice, Doris Kinsland, Betty Arrington and Helen Price ! Bonnie Sue has just been named “Miss America. ’’ Did you say that this is Valaree Henderson’s last year in college ? She was such a studious person in school. She will receive her nurse’s degree in June . Am I hearing things? Yes, Billy Best is the county agent of Hay¬ wood County, North Carolina. Haywood is sure to win everything with Billy as their agent. Sybil Bradshaw is teaching the first grade at Crabtree - Iron Duff. She will probably be a millionaire someday. Shirley Smith is the Home Agent of Haywood County. She was always interested in home making. They say Edwin Bryson is president of The First National Bank in Waynesville, North Carolina. Edwin was always interested in money. David Hugh Tate is now champion of the National Stock Car Race. He was always well supplied with stock cars. Robert Sutton and Floyd Stevenson are fir st rank officer s in the army. Jewel Dotson is employed with the Enka Corporation. I know she is one of their best employees. She was so particular with her work in school. Jewel Clarke is the secretary at The Champion Paper and Fibre Company. She was always good at typing. Harrison Caldwell is serving in the Navy. I always wondered why he was so interested in taking Geometry. I guess you make a better sailor when you have Geometry. Eddie Hill is a telephone operator in Charlotte, North Carolina. She should like her work since all of her cousins are working there. Gee ! is it that late ? I must be hurrying along since I have an appoint¬ ment at five o’clockatmy beauty shop on FifthAvenue withMiss Shirldean Hoglen, one of my classmates. She was always so interested in every¬ one’s hair. It doesn’t seem real that so much could happen in just ten years, but you can see that each senior who graduated from Crabtree - Iron Duff in ’54 is doing fine. Let’s hope each one reaches his desired goal.
