However, guided by Mrs. Nell Reid, we began a career that has led us through four years of hard mental strain. During the summer of 1945, we were disappointed to hear of the resig¬ nation of our principal, Mr. E. T. Kearns, Jr., and of several of our teachers; so it was with some misgivings that we returned to school that fall. Under the able leadership of our new principal, Mr. T. K. Huss who was assisted by Mrs. Howell Harrison as our home room teacher, we quickly settled down to our year’s work. This year we welcomed to our class Harold Owen, who was immediately elected as our president. During this year several of our members decided that the struggle for an education wasn’t worth the effort and dropped from our class. When we returned to school in the fall of 1946, we began to get a feeling of importance. At last we were Juniors! With our president Kiffin Penry and our class sponser Mrs. Grice, we were ably led through this important year. Rogers Cameron joined our group, and Bill Henderson and C. G. Garner left us to work for Uncle Sam. In spite of snow and bad weather we carried the Seniors on a very successful trip, “South of the Border” for the Junior-Senior banquet. This was followed by the production of “A Little Clodhopper” which proved that our class could really produce a good play. Our vacation was much too short and all too soon we found ourselves back in school, not as babies, but as sophisticated seniors. With Mrs. E. O. Lane as our sponsor, v e knew what was to be done; and without hesitating, we started doing it. Again Kiffin Penry was elected our class president, and again he has served us well. We were disappointed that Rog Cameron decided to return to Salisbury, but after Christmas Joe Loflin joined us to bring our class to nineteen members. We have given our class play, and we at last see before us the goal for which we have been working these twelve years. We have lived up to our motto “One step at a time but always forward”. We have at last reached Commencement—the end of school but the beginning of a new phase of our lives. Margaret Spivey, Historian. Cluss It is the year 1958, and here I am buried on a small island in the Pacific —an island so small it isn’t even shown on the map, but I am proud of the work I am doing helping the natives fight a successful battle for better health. Ever since my graduation from the University of North Carolina Medical School I have been working with these natives and am usually so busy I have little time to think of the world I have left behind; but tonight I find my thoughts straying to the town of Denton back in the U. S. A. and wonder what my classmates are doing this night—the tenth anniversary of our graduation from high school. It is with these thoughts in mind that I turn on my two way radio television set to get what news I can from the states via short wave. Suddenly my attention is attracted by “Station WDEN calling H arold Owens—Come in please.” Quickly I reply over my broadcasting set, “Harold Owens answering Station WDEN, Harold Owens answering Station WDEN.” From then on I forget my natives, my tiny island, and I almost believe I’m back in good old Denton; for before me in the television screen, I see projected the pic¬ ture of the class of 1948 with only myself needed to make it complete. One of the figures then steps forward, and I recognize Kiffin Penry, our class president, who speaks to me over my receiving set. “Hello Harold, this is Kiffin Penry greeting you on behalf of your old classmates and telling you how sorry we are you can’t be with us. However, we hope to pay you a visit by television”. I am overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness but manage to stutter my thanks over my broadcasting set and ask all sorts of questions about my classmates and what they are doing. To this Kiffin replies he’ll let each person speak for himself. At once a man approaches the front of the screen and I’d recognize him anywhere. Bert Daniels is just as tall and slim as ver, and his smile just as friendly when a greets me with “Hey, Harold, I’m still interested in trucks but not school trucks anymore—Now it’s transfer trucks,—I have a whole fleet of them runnning between New York and California and I’ll move you free of charge when you get states-side again”. “Now Bert, you’re talking too long,” interrups a voice and a good- looking woman who I know is Maxine Garner joins Bert. “How is everything, Maxine?” I ask. “Just fine, Harold, I’m private secretary to Fred Bean who has recently bought out M. A. Pickett, and has a chain of stores throughout the country. I stay busy keeping him in touch with them. But here’s Fred wanting to talk for himself. ‘Glad we got contact with you, Harold, ole boy, you’re doin great work out there. Keen it up and maybe Bean’s Department store will soon open a branch out there.” Qlass (jOn ’ Remembering Fred’s sister in our class, I inquire about Opal, who in¬ forms m.e herself she is operating a beauty parlor in New York and has her best patron Louise Garner, the star of Broadway’s latest musical show. I am particularly anxious to know how Kiffin is getting along in his practice of medicine so ask him all about his work. He informs me he has built up quite a practice in Denton and gives much of the credit to the tireless efforts of his nurse, Grace Dockham. I am also interested in learning from his conversation that Ruth Hedick is business manager of his hospital. Two gentlemen wearing ten gallon hats have attracted my attention as I’ve been gazing at the te ' ' evision screen, and I ask Kiffin to call them closer. They are none other than Fred Peacock, Jr. and Ralph Staley. On my inquiring about the hats Fred drawls.: “Why we’re co-partners in Texas’ greatest chicken farm. Our ranch is so great we have to ride horseback to visit all our chicken ranges.” While I talk to them over my sending set, I notice two members of my French class who seem anxious to speak to me-Margaret Spivey and Opal Dorsett. They inform me they liked school so well they decided to keep on attending it and now are teachers-Margaret in kindergarten and Opal in first grade. I realize I’ve missed talking to the only other member of our French class beside Kiffin and me so ask about Ruby Russell, who immediately apporoaches and says she is advertising manager of Denton’s daily paper whose managing editor is Joe Loflin. She tells they have recently printed some intersting articles by Mary Rose Johnson, just returned from China where she has done excellent work as a missionary. I ask Ruby whatever has happened to Mary Rose’s particular friends Hazel Nance and Remonia Skeen, and they immediately come laughingly toward Ruby both talking at once. Finally Remonia wins out, and I learn they are running a prosperous te aroom in Denton. They are well known throughout the East for their fried chicken. Hearing them talk about their delicious meals makes my mouth water for some good southern cooking once more. There is still one classmate I’ve not heard from, but Bessie Barker won’t allow herself to be left out. She informs me she has recently published her first anthology of poetry which is on the best seller list for non-fiction books. As Bessie returns to the rest of the group, Kiffin once more returns to the foregroudn and bids me good-bye and good luck ofrm all of them. After expressing my thanks, I slowly trun off the radio, sit back in my chair, and relive the visit my classmates have just paid me. Their visit has made me forget my loneliness at home; and before it returns, I hurry to my infirmary to occupy my thoughts by administering to the ills of my patients. Harold Owen, Prophet. penh!is We pani The time has come when we must part, And sadness fills each Senior ' s heart. We’ve struggled hard through each school year. They’ve seemed quite long, but oh, so dear. We’ve loved our teacher, one and all. Who have attended our every call. We thank our fathers and mothers too. Who’ve tried so hard to help us through. To vou who are the Junior class Our graduation hope we pass. Like us, you’ve worked to win the goal In heart, in mind, and in soul. Now, that our high school goal is won. Let’s not forget we’ve just begun. So, classmates, let us forward go. And follow well our class motto. Bessie Barker, Class Poet. 4 CUss Tune of “Near You” There’s just one school for me—Denton, In my heart there will be—Denton. All the friends we’ve met May we ne’er forget, May we never stray More than just a mile away. May we wish luck to you—Denton. To you we will be true—Denton. We’ve worked with you years Now our eyes fill with tears. So farewell to you now—Denton.
