Class Flowers: Red and White Roses. Class Motto: To Thine Own Self Be True. Class Song: Thanks and Farewell” As we go along in life’s pathway, may we seek the best. Now we must leave the school we love; This we all regret. Thinking o’er our days at Drexel High, Our hearts swell with pride, As we recall the things we’ve done —Side by side. Chorus: In this world we must make our own way, Without our parents to guide us each day, To the teachers and friends we say, . . . Thanks and Farewell .... 12 CLASS HISTORY Looking back twelve years ago co 1941, we saw thirty-five bright-eyed girls and thirty-six clean-faced boys begin the long difficult voyage of learning. As we walked up the gangplank with our paper and pencils, we saw none other than two pretty hostesses who were Mrs. Jenny Lee Wilson and Mrs. Mary Huffman. All our teachers from the first grade through the twelfth, we thank you for all your kindness, thoughtfulness, and the wonderful guidance extended us throughout this voyage. After our stop at the eighth port, we boarded a larger ship The Drexel Hi.” Our captain was Harry L. Hallyburton and his crew of nine members were: Mrs. Stover, Mrs. Russell, Mr. Abernathy, Mr. Teerns, Mrs. Bounous, Mr. Patton, Mrs. Dellinger, Mr. Smyre, and Miss Silvers. As we stopped at the ninth port, we found many of our passengers leaving the ship: Leeuna Nichols, Helen Huffman, Lloyd and Harmon Clontz, Ruth Ollis, Ralph Stamey, Howard Secrest, Annie Cooke, Leroy Cooke, Bernard Powell, Buddy Fender, Richard Bowman, Mary Etta Powell, Alma Maye and R. C. Anthony. As we pulled into our tenth port our most exciting adventure was cutting frogs with Mr. Patton as our guide. We lost no members at this port. Instead our captain, Mr. Hallyburton, welcomed Walter Butler from Valdese and Betty Keller who had decided to rejoin us. At the eleventh port we found Blondell Isenhour from Georgia waiting for us at the dock. There two passengers disembarked—Perry Cope and Myrna Trumble. Iris Saunders and Sandra Baker rode with us for just part of this trip. Mr. Abernathy had been transferred and Mr. Teems, Mr. Patton, Mrs. Dellinger, Mr. Smyre, and Miss Silvers had taken leave. To begin this voyage, we gained Mrs. Sutton, Mr. McBrayer, Miss McCreight, Miss Siphers, and Mr. Vallone as new crew members. The main event was the Junior-Senior Banquet that the captain gave his passengers special permission to prepare. Betty Jane Stamey and her committee gained our eternal gratitude for the beautiful, elaborate banquet with an Arabian motif. At the twelfth port other passengers were waiting for us. Thomas Poteet and Charlene Fletcher boarded the vessel when Blondell Isenhour left. Later Mary Alice Rogers decided to change from our vessel to the Gamewell.” This trip has been the most exciting of all. We have sold magazines, Christmas cards, candy, furniture polish— all with the Washington trip in mind. The Nutt Family” proved to be an interesting play—one easy to cast in such a class as ours. So ends this log of our journey with the final port, graduation, almost in sight. With our sincerest appreciation to our guides, we say farewell and Ship Ahoy to those beginning this long, but fruitful, voyage—Happy landing! 14 Class Historians: OLETA AIKENS MAXINE SWINK CLASS PROPHECY Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Space ship to leave for the moon, July 24, I960, from the Drexel Governmental Space Plant. These were the words the news- paper boys yelled as my helicopter landed on top of Chez Parisien, owned by Madame Georgia Bumgarner, the famous dress designer. As I entered the shop, Leta Aikens, receptionist, and Gertrude Miller, private secretary, came to greet me. While passing through the shop, Cynthia Clarke, a well known model, was modeling a feather duster, the latest style in hats. Since time was so scarce in this atomic age, I left immediately for the Space Plant to get the up-to-minute news on this trip to the moon. Upon arriving I went to the information desk to find out how to obtain passage for this trip. Winona Childres told me that I would have to see the president in order to get a ticket. Shirley Grady, the telephone operator, rang his office and I soon found myself there. To my surprise, he was none other than Harold Baker. I found that there was room for one more person, and that I would be able to go. The space ship was scheduled to leave at 4:00. Soon I was seated on the ship. Shirley Ann Mauldin, the stewardess, introduced che crew to the passengers. These were: Elizabeth Ann Hallyburton and Maxine Swink, aurses; Ted Settlemyre, radio operator; Betty Keller and Nadine Sigmon, secretaries; Max Baker, pilot; Preston Baker, co-pilot; and Pat Thompson, electrical engineer. The flight was ten minutes off schedule because Wilburn Griffin, owner of Ivey’s De- partment Store, and his secretary, Jo Anne Deal, were late tending to last minute business affairs. After we’d finally started, I began talking to some of the passengers and became acquainted with B. J. Stamey, who was making this trip to the moon hoping to get closer to the sun (tan). I also learned that the government had placed on the moon various people with different occupations. After traveling 237,000 miles, we landed on the moon where about 225 people were waiting to greet us. Marshall Digh was so glad to see some of us that he jumped 25 feet high. The ball and chain on his leg, that all moon residents had to wear to hold them down to the moon, broke and he went flying off into space. Mozelle Reece, the religious instructor, introduced some of the important people. Walter Butler was the owner of a used car lot and Hal Smith and Thomas Poteet were his mechanics, with Margaret Powell, the secretary. Charlene Fletcher and Norma Watts were managing a very modern kindergarten, owned by Mary Alice Beane, Joe Baird, the famous artist, was painting the earth and the heavens. While walking along viewing the new establishments on the moon, I passed Eva Sitton's Beauty Salon, where Ruby Denton, her assistant, advised me to have a new hairdo. My hair has been cut short, but the New Moon Cut topped it all. I passed a large crater into which two men were shooting balls with long sticks. Later I found out that they were Gilbert Mull and Gene Page, former billiard sharks. Jim Wright tried to sell me some insurance put out by the Bill Mull Insurance Company. When two days were up I was glad to start back home. On the return trip I sat sat beside Gaynell McNeely who had been visiting the moon on her second honey- moon (same husband—two trips.) When we came down to earth, Lyvon Deal, dressed in a Marine’s full-dress uniform, escorted us to the president’s office. There we met Gwyn Griffin, a newspaper reporter, who was eager to get the account of our Space Visit for the next issue of their paper, The Drexel Times, owned by Clyde Baird. Whew! Have we accounted for everybody in the class? Yes, they're all here. 15 GAYNELL McNEELY CYNTHIA CLARKE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Nineteen and Fifty-Three of Drexel High School, being in full possession of all our intellectual abilities, and having finally, by devious and sundry routes, drawn nearer to the graduation mecca of all high school students do hereby will and bequeath all our temporal possessions to the following: To our County Superintendent, Mr. R.

Witnesses: Preston Baker Ruby Denton Nadine Sigmon Class Testators: MARGARET POWELL EVA SITTON 16 DID YOU KNOW The average age of our class is 18 and the average grade is----! Jimmy knows he’s always Wright”. Isn’t that right, Wright? Harold is all up in the air—He’s 6 feet 4 inches! Bill Mull has beautiful gams” (legs). Mary Alice’s favorite dish is Beanes”. Hal Smith isn’t really crazy—just love of life. Gaynell McNeely finally got him. Gilbert is too late in the morning because he’s two late at night. Flash! Ruby Denton and Nadine Sigmon have been secretly engaged—to their typewriters! Walter Butler loves only one thing better than girls—(more girls)! Perry Mull’s only head-ache is his ’42 Willys. Gwyn Griffin has finally learned to skate—sitting down! Airplanes are more interesting to Max than girls. Huh? Eva Sitton loves catching Trout”-man. Bird’s and Bairds (Clyde) have one thing in a common-singing. Marshall would Digh” if he couldn’t get her. Oleta Aikens and Maxine Swink are worrying about their bookkeeping—is that all, girls? Charlene Fletcher has already succeeded. Georgia is already designing her Texas residence—a beautiful dude ranch. Pat Thompson NEVER blushes. Norma likes the short, dark, and handsome type. Jo Anne Deal has an advantage over us girls—Wilburn will be along on the Washington trip! P. J. has a real knack for Chemistry, and a brownette).

Wonder which Stars” she looks at?? Lib and B. J. are both trying to be Queens”! The value of a person can’t always be measured by height—Mozelle is a perfect example. Gene Page believes that practice makes perfect”. He plans to be a professional billiard player. Winona loves all her study halls. We wonder why? Lyvon Deals” in all kinds of good literature, especially if it’s in comic books. Betty Keller isn’t quiet all the time—she just pretends to be. Gertie was seen stealing at Burands—straight pins to put in her skirt. Ted DOES use his head sometimes (to get out of typing)! Sparks have been flying around Cynthia’s finger since December 25, 1952. All of us seniors use our mental ability once in a while. Do you believe that? Sometimes we wonder ourselves!! 17 MARY ALICE BEANE GEORGIA BUMGARNER 18 GayriELL aNd hffli NADINE SIGMON Salutatorian RUBY DENTON Valedictorian 20 WALLACE BAIRD MARSHALS BETTY JO HIPPS PEGGY LOWERY BENNY COZORT 21 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President ..
