GRADEMOTHERS Our sincere thanks and deepest regards to these Mothers of ours — Gradeniothers in the true sense of the word. 22 The 1953 Millstrcain CLASS OF 1953 In September of 1949, Farm Life was awakened with the presence of 72 green Freshmen who had no idea wliich way to ( o or to turn. But needless to say at the tone of the last hell each student had been directed to h s rightful place and settled down for registration. ( )ur advisors for our hrst year were Miss Mary Harden Taylor and Mr. Daniel Drew. At our hrst class meeting we elected for our officers to guide us during the year — President, Nick Ewell ; Vice-President, Beatrice Laughinghouse ; Secretary and Treasurer, Donald Ormond ; none of whom are with us now — four years later. The big event of the freshman year was a party held in the gymnasium honoring the Seniors, where we enjoyed games and refreshments. The first day of our Sophomore year wa ' not as confusing as our Freshman year. We knew where the classrooms were and we knew the names of our teachers. Our advisors this year were Mrs. Joe Simpson and Mr. Seth Henderson. We had lost 9 of our members but still had a large class of 63. Officers chosen this year were — President, Beverly Ross; Vice-President, Loyce Fillingame ; Secretary, Betty Baysden ; and Treasurer, Joanna Williams. We entertained the Seniors at the Woodman Hall in Ernul with a chicken- salad supper and a dance afterwards. Our third year at Fa ' rm Life was to be a big one for us. Nine more of our sfudents had dropped out. Our enrollment now was 54. ' i he advisors were Miss Joy Bass and Miss Camilla Selby. We welcomed to our group several new faces from Fort Barnwell who rapidly became adjusted to Farm Life School. One of this number was elected President of our class. The newly elected officers were — President, Iris Bland ; Vice-President, Billy Butler ; Secretary, Loyce Fillingame ; Treasurer, Betty Baysden. Our class rings that we had looked forward to for so long were received when we returned from the Christmas holidays. We entertained the Seniors for a third time with a gala affair — the Junior- Senior Banquet, carrying out the theme of Holiday Inn. I ' his was a great success and all of our class took part in preparing for this outstanding event. At last ! The most important ' ear of our life came our way — our Senior year. The enrollment was down to 46. We got off to a good start with a new advisor, Mrs. Vivian Taylor. Officers elected at the first class meeting were as follows : President, Loyce Fillingame ; Vice-President, Calvin Miller ; Secretary, Letha Heath ; Treas- urer, Billy Butler, and Reporter, Leslie Rouse. We decided to have a supper to help defray our expenses for our trip to Wash- ington, D. C. Our grademothers did an excellent job of helping us prepare and serve this supper. The amount of $83.05 was cleared. Since our biggest task this year was to send to press our 1953 Annual — The Millstream, our staff was elected. Then the happy rush of getting ads and taking pictures was begun. Next we picked our superlatives, invitations, caps and gowns. The cast for our play, Just Ducky, was selected. The date was set for March. As this The 1953 Millstream goes to press, we are looking forward to our trip to Washington, D. C, Junior-Senior Banquet, Alumni Banc uet, Woman ' s Better- ment Reception, Baccalaureate Sermon, Class Day Exercises, and last of all, to our most important goal of the year — Graduation. The 1953 Millstream 23 CLASS PROPHECY As we travel from place to place and see many weird and wonderful things, we also meet some strange people. Of all the people I have met, I shall never forget the kind old man of magic, who bestowed upon me the power to look into the future. I first met him in a park. He was sitting on a bench with his head bowed deep in his hands, looking as if he had lost his very best friend. I sat down beside him and said, Pardon me. Friend, but are you sick? He said, No, I just have a very big problem. You see I am a man of magic, and as I grow old and weak so does my magic. I am hoping someday to find a young person with ability and judgment to carry on my magic work for me. So here I am, a man who can look into the future, a Prophet. My first thought after receiving this power was, What will my old friends at Farm Life School be doing years from now ? So I closed my eyes and said a few words of magic. When I opened them again, I saw before me the lives of the ones in the Senior Class of 1953. I first see a very touching scene, Loyce Fil- lingame, a loving wife and devoted mother, is trying to get her small sons to do a small chore for her. As I listened I heard her say in her loveliest voice, (iit busy, Young ' uns, before I call your Paw. Now I see two dignified young gentlemen, Billy Butler and Calvin Miller, who are senators, or at least they are members of the Washington Senati rs ' Ball Club. It seems that they have positions that none of the other players can act as substitutes. One is bat boy and the other is in charge of the refreshment department — a water boy. Wayne Wood and Delmar Tilghman are making a fortune in the dairy business, or were until Delmar was drafted into the Army and left Wayne holding the bag. William Haddock is now a famous actor, the greatest discovery since Clark Cable. Kathleen Worley and Lilar (iray Wilson are trying desperately to revive silent movies, but the chances of success are few, so they are switching to television. Iris Bland and Beatrice Cox are happily mar- ried and each of them has seven children. I believe the girls think children are cheaper by the dozen. And now I see Vanceboro. It seems there is quite a bit of excitement going on. Curtis Mor- ris and Levie Powers are running for mayor, with Janice Morris and I is McLawhorn as their secretaries, and Earl Hill and Walter Evans as campaign managers. Who knows? One of them niay be our next President. There seems to be a bit of confusion around the drug store. The manager is complaining about two of the local lads, Joel Wetherington and Leslie Rouse, who have in the last few years worn out three booths and caused four of the waitresses to quit work, because they sit there for hours sipping nickel ccjkes and com- plaining about slow service. Shirley Knox and V erdie Lee Nobles have become models in New York. Ramona Edwards and Irene Foy are beau- ticians. They have discovered a new shampoo that will rid you of dandrufi once and for all. It also relieves you of your hair and scalp. Letha Heath and Lue Rhe Jones are a comedy team on television. They are known as the female Martin Lewis. Incidentallv. since their great success in TV, the original Martin Lewis team is considering retirement. Beverly Ross is an idol of movie goers. He has the teen-agers screaming and the old ladies sighing. Valentino couldn ' t have done better. Billy Jackson, Jesse Lee Wooten, William Wetherington, and James Luther Toler have the makings of a fine Barber-shop Quartet, with the exception of one thing — the barber-shop. Betty Baysden is a nurse in Johns Hopkins Hospital. Her favorite patient is Lester McCoy. Kirby Norman and Hilton Russell are wealthy real-estate agents. Rumors are that they sold ten acres of land to a man from New York for ten dollars. That would have been a l)argain if the land hadn ' t been located five miles ofif the coast of Florida. J. P. Cauley and Eugene Manning own a dude ranch in Texas out in the wild, woolly West, where a man is a man. Roy Buck is a reporter for a leading New York newspaper. As I see him now, he is interviewing the new mayor of New York City, George Fillingame. Elva Forrest and Betty Gaskins are the authors of a very good book entitled, Plenty of Room for the Groom. Vera Stern is the woman ' s athletic director at Duke University. She is developing new bas- ketball strategy and thinks basketball would be much more exciting if they used three goals in- stead of just two. Joyce Fillingame is a noted dress designer. She and one of her assistants, Nellie Smith, designed the lovely gown that Mamie Eisen- hower wore at the Inaugural Ball. Odell Lewis is chief dietitian for the White House. She is assisted by Barbara Jean Wil- kinson. Geraldine Hawks is going to try to be the next woman to swim the English Channel, and under the fine coaching of Irma Joyce Lewis, how could she fail ? Now as the vision is fading and all of the lives of the Senior class of 1953 have been passed in review, I sit and marvel at the great things this graduating class has accomplished.

The football team of ' ancel)oro, plaving in the Coastal Conference, came otit on the short end of a .500 season. Winning only two of ten games, the ])oys cotildn ' t seem to get going. Tliey played some good games though, stich as the 36-27 ball game with Central School, and of cotirse the 47-0 score against South Edgecombe. Only three boys, Calvin Miller, Billy Butler, and Curtis Morris, Co-captain, will be lost via graduation, so here ' s hoping that the boys next year will prove themselves worthy of winning a great deal of ball games. 40 ■ The 1953 MiHsfrcaiii Seated— ]. L. Peterson, Billy Butler, Earl Wright. Richard Ciladsoii. Standing — Mr. Thompson, Coach ; Sammy Cutler, John Kite, John Buck, Graham Wetherington, John Laugh- inghouse, Jack Taylor, Clarence Powell, Terry Witherington, Manager. The Red Raiders of Farm Life School under the leadership of their new coach, Mr. E. D. Thompson, haven ' t quite lived up to expectations so far this season, but the bovs have plaj-ed a lot of good and close games. The futin e is bright in the respect that the junior Varsity, a bunch of talented freshmen, will l)e up to bolster the varsity next vear. ' ilius far this season the team has won 7 and lost 9 games, but with a little luck and some more spirit the team could go on to victory. The Red Raiders are entered in the Annual County Tournament and the Coastal Conference Tournament. So good luck to the boys who don the Red and White for F. L. S. ! 42 • The 1953 Millstream The 1953 Milhtrcam Left lit right — Janet Taylor, Frances Cayton, Mary Jo Purser, Shirley Wilson. Dorothy Barrow, Lois Ann Sutton, Frances Johnson, Patsy Sammons, Anna Lancaster, Doris Rose Bryan, Jackie Williams, Linda Butler, Jean Sutton, Vera Stern, Mary Alice Smith, Vivian Lockhart. Second lira ' — Mr. F. P. Blair, Coach; Muriel Whitford, I ' alricia Laughinghouse, Beth Taylor, Mrs. Joy Sasser, Assistant Coach. The ranks of the Red and White were depleted by way of graduation last spring. The entire starting lineup consisting of some of the best in Farm Life School his- tory received their diplomas in 1952. However, the spirit and determination of those who were left paid off in large dividends — Doris Rose Bryan, Patsy Sammons, I atricia Laughinghouse, Anna Lancaster, Frances Johnson, and Vera Stern, aided by Sophomores Janet Taylor and Frances Cayton and Freshman Vivian Lockhart have given the fans plenty of thrills with their excellent play, and as the Millstrcaiii goes to press, the season ' s record is eight wins, seven losses, and one tie. This is an excellent record in view of the fact that all of the opponents had hold- overs from last year ' s squad with which to build. The Farm Life girls are leading the Coastal Conference with six wins and no losses, thereby entitling them to be crowned Champions of the Coastal Conference. 44 ■ J ' ' -Z ii MUlstrcam The 1952 Millstrcam 45 First roiv — J.
