Class History If you will pause with me a few minutes I shall try and tell you what the senior class has done in the past years. All of us very distinctly remember entering high school. Our first home room teacher was Mr. Burleson, under whose reaching we somehow passed our course in general science, for which we complimented ourselves. We had twenty-eight our freshman year, but before long four of the girls left school for matrimony. Several of the class members attended the State Fair. We gave as our play Henry ' s Mail Order Wife under the direction of Mr. Burleson. In the tenth grade we made up for lost time in the ninth. We had twenty- two with us this year and also a new pupil. We had as our leader, Mrs. Hall. Under her direction we gave a play entitled Jimmy the Genius . With Mr. Burleson ' s teaching again this year we struggled through biology. We had glee club under the direction of Mrs. Jones. We went to contest and received an excellent rating. We also gave an operetta entitled Sunbonnet Sue . In the eleventh grade under Mrs. Hartsell ' s supervision we started working for our junior — senior banquet expenses. We sold candy and magazines. We had twenty members working this year. We gave a Junior play entitled If Mother Only Knew . The glee club again went to contest. Again we received an excellent rating. We gave a Christmas program, a spring concert, sang at the Easter Sunrise Service, and twenty of us went to Greensboro to Festival Chorus. For our junior-senior banquet, our theme was Your Show of Shows . Then, all too suddenly we realized we were seniors. We came up with eighteen members this year. We lost one of our most active boys, Rowell Burleson. We were under the leadership of Mrs. Grigg. We were very proud of our high school rings which we received at the beginning of school. We then threw aside all of our jokes and good-times to start sellng annual ads. We celebrated later with a wiener roast given by Mrs. Grigg. Later, work began on our annual. We remember last year ' s graduation very plainly. Joyce Efird, Ruby Dick, Rowell Burleson, Larry Hathcock, and Pete Harward were marshals. Under the direction of Mrs. Grigg, the Seniors gave a play entitled Kay Beats The Band which was a big success. We are looking forward very much to our Washington trip, then finally . . . GRADUATION. by Ruby Dick

Prophecy As I was walkng down the cobblestone streets in Paris, France, in the summer of 1966, you ' d never guess whom I saw. So many of my classmates of 1955-56. There in one of Paris ' s newest fashion shops was Josephine Eudy, a model. You should have seen that beautiful wedding dress she was modeling! Had I been in the market for a wedding dress, I could not have resisted the temptation to purchase this lovely one. Also in the same shop Linda Benner was arranging Ruby Dick ' s hair in the very latest style. Linda liked hair styling. She had become very famous, so famous, in fact, that you had to get an appointment two months ahead of time. Her shop was known as Linda ' s Beauty Salon . I asked Ruby what she was doing in Paris, and she said she was a secretary for Smith and Roberts, the publishers of French Book L No wonder she had to look tops at all times. On my way out I met Joyce Ann Huneycutt. She was doing very well; she was going to school studying to become a French cook in Cafe Marguery in Paris. Joyce ' s specialities were French pastries. She invited me over to her apartment so that I could have a sample and were they good! As I passed a billboard flashing in the window, it read, Learn to Dance the French Dances — Teacher — Joyce Efird. She was doing very well for herself. She was always good at such things. I dropped in to see Joyce, and she told me that many of our old friends we are among her students. I visited the art gallery while I was in France and there all over the walls were paintings by Mikey Morgan and Laverne Davis. Mikey had really gone in for modern art, while Laverne stuck more to the traditional. I was on the outside again and who should pass me by in the very latest Chev- rolet but Ondrie Efird. He was a very fabulous used car dealer, specializing in American made cars. Coy Tompson bought his ' 66 model from Ondrie. He was owner of two per- fume factories in Paris, France. It was rumored that Coy had become so successful that he had run Lanvin and Guerlain out of busines . Edd Lambert was head of Coy ' s factories and was making himself plenty of money. He was doing pretty well for Coy, too. Buddie Poplin owned a soda shop and made delicious sodas; his most famous was a pepsi sundae. Junior Bowers made jazz records and Buddie ' s juke box was full of them. They had always enjoyed doing Sixteen Tons in class, and it appeared still to be their favorite. Pete Harward was a French professeur at the Sorbonne. In talking to Pete about his work in France, I found out that he had recently returned to the States and had seen many of our classmates. He told me that Larry Hathcock had become a football instructor in the Naval Academy at Annapolis and his top aide on the coaching staff was our old friend Gene Speights-Larry ' s team had beaten Army for the last five years. Pete had also seen Max Morton who was a contractor for a big building organization owned by Ervin Fesperman. Together they were planning a skyscraper for Albemarle on the top of which would be a landing field for helicopters. I enjoyed my vacation in Paris very, very much. I heard a lot about it by our former French teacher of 1953-54-55, Mrs. Frank Hartsell. She accompanied me on my vacation in France. I thing she enjoyed the French cooking best of all. by Helen Whitley
