And where shall we find them? A neon light flashes on and off in front of an elite shop on East Main Street, Etowah. What does it say, Hair Styled and Stashed by owner, who is none other than -- you guessed it -- Peggy Anne Baynard. Today, she is fixing Ellazene's hair, who is now the wife of the manager of all A P stores. While they are in the midst of the ceremony, in walks a very slender, sophisticated lady dressed in white. Who could this lady be? Peggy and Ellazene wonder, then, of course, it is Louise Gray, a graduate Nurse from Woman's College. As they embrace each other, they are interrupted by the ringing of the telephone. It is Junior Owens, who is now in the used car business. He tells them that Miss Curto, still sponsor of the Etowah senior class, .plans a home coming for the '52 seniors. The girls began thinking of their other classmates. Pauline Brown, now Mrs, Winfred Beahm, is secretary for the president. In typing her new speed is 120 words per minute. Lucille Moody is now an opera singer. A great star, so we hear. Instead of Emily Post, it is Wilma Post. She is sending each member of the '52 class a copy of her latest book, MANNERS FOR THE MORONS, Vera Heatherly is enjoying life in a nice quiet home with her husband and two sons near an airforce base in Texas. Is Eldora Johnson dead? No one knows anything about her, even Louise knows nothing of her bosom pal. Ali hope seemed lost until Miss Curto thought of a letter she had re- ceived, written in a foreign language too far advanced for her. When trying to read it again, she made out enough to find out that Dollie and Charles were Missionaries in France. Upon receiving a cablegram, their reply was: Be on the next Transatlantic plane. The gentlemen of the crowd were hard to locate. Bobby Shives went back to Virginia, set up a duplex restaurant. He is now serving twelve meals per day. Bruce Blythe is designing socks for the major leaque base and basket-ball players all over the world. He resides in Brooklyn with his wife and twelve children. Clifford Capps, after graduating from high school, went to college and became a professor of history. : Furman must still be around somewhere, for everyone's pencils are still disappearing. He was one of the unfortunate of the class; he is now working on the county and state roads. Boyce Gillespie has gone into the farming business and is owner of the new well known Famous Gillespie Cows. David Nicholson is now a prominent young business man. He is owner of the new beer factory, Pabst Blue Nickle, The Beer that Made Nick Famous. Robert Chandler seems to have gone to colleges and universities all over the states, preaching and teaching the importance of studying and not to have too many girl-friends. Bobby Joe Steppe is now owner and manager of the United Nations basketball equip- ment. He and his work really have spread out! The party is well underway, refreshments are being served, all the class is present, did we say all? Well yes, for just now Billy Wilson is standing in the doorway, dressed in flying togs. A test pilot for E-O Jets. In the wee hours of the morning, having renewed old times, having discussed the latest inventions-smell o' vision and steel school houses, and having teased Miss Curto about her boyfriend, the eighteen take their leave, sad that all good times must end. 33 FP oOmAIMDuUPwWNrE ° 0.

We'll n'er forget the days spent here; With all the sadness, glory and cheer, We bid farewell to our teachers, dear, For our comrades left behind, we shed a tear. Farewell dear friends of sport and fun, Forgive us of things left undone. Oh, Farewell to thee, Etowah High! Go we must, tho' with many a heart filled sigh. It's sad to leave behind our second home; And out into the wide fearsome world roam, We ask that each left, for us will pray, That we find, hold, and follow the ‘right way’. With saddened hearts and dewey eyes, We look ahead where an enticing world lies. No longer in memories dwell; We seek further in this last FAREWELL. 35 ta Kevotr We the senior class of 1952, being of sound minds and bodies, realizing that our ship is dropping anchor at last, hereby sign and seal this -- our last will and testament. To our beloved ship, Etowah School, we leave our school spirit, our love for teasing, and our ability to play basketball. To the commanders of our ship, our teachers, we fondly bequeath all the questions we did not answer, all the excuses we kept on file, and all the good times we have had. Expecially to two of our captains -- Mr. Sitton and Miss Bessie, we leave our love and graditude for their help on this voyage. Now as we gather up our duffle bags to leave, we, as individuals, do hereby bequeath such possessions as we see fit to our friends left behind. To Earl Summer goes Billy Wilson's title of class baby; but his agriculture goes to Perry Morgan. Robert Chandler leave his title of class flirt to Griffin Kilpatrick and his temper to Marie Metcalf, Another of our babies, Wilma Cantrell wills this title to Audrey Huntsinger; but her curly hair she leaves to Ellen McCarson. Erline McCarson is the lucky recipient of Eldora Johnson's friendliness, where as Katherine Chapman, receives her ability to roll hair. Junior Owens leaves his basketball playing to Jimmy Allen and his ingenious wit to Wayne Sumner. To Billy Allison goes David Nicholson's ability to skip class, but David's title of most handsome goes to Joe Hensley. Louise Gray wants her love for music to go to Pat Fletcher and her title of most athletic to Jackie Hawkins. Furman Gossett, who supplies everyone with pencils, leaves his cache of them to Gerald Bresnaham and his love of basketball to William Saunders. Lucille Moody leaves her quiet ways to Virginia Orr and her title as best all around to Lorena Weese. Pauline Brown wills her good grades to her brother, Lester, and her title as good sport to Mary Johnson. Vera Heatherly wills her title of class flirt to Lorraine Marona and her beautiful red hair to Betty McCall. To Danny Johnson goes Boyce Gillespie's ability to take a curve on two wheels and his title as most likely to succeed to Hilda Parris. Peggy Anne Baynard, Miss Etowah of 1951, wants this title to go to Margaret Ann Gossett and her ability to play basketball to Dollie Jean McKinna. Bobby Shive, our Frenchman, wills his French-Vocabulary to Jack Plemons, and his office of class president to Virgle McClure. Bobby Joe Stepp, who rides the dear old Hendersonville bus, leaves his seat to Katherine Dalton and his love for basketball to John Love. Bruce Blythe wills his favorite hangout corner to Jr. Briggs, and his teasing to Billy Dalton. Clifford Capps leaves his love for teasing teachers to Virginia Dalton and his ability to lose books to Clarence Plemons. Ellazene Crowder wills her title as most likely to succeed to Maudine Orr and her giggles to Louise Coston. The gang plank is down, we are on our way, as we seal and sign this document at- taching it to our ship's log (our permanent records) on this day 1952 AD at Etowah High School, Etowah, North Carolina.

WESTERN BRED all purpose flour Earle-Chesterfield Mill Co., Ashenville, N. C. The Eud of the Voyage Twelve years ago at Etowah School, a ship set sail upon the sea of education; chartering it was Mrs. Blythe. Among the passengers were: David Nicholson, Bruce Blythe, Peggy Baynard, Louise Gray, Billy Wilson, Wilma Cantrell, and many others. Over a stormy sea of tears and ABC’s from September until June; this vessel rocked, tumbling into its second lap of the voyage. Robert Chandler was fished from the sea as Mrs. Jones took the helm, relinquishing it, as rounding Cape Three, Mrs. Randolph took the tiller, dumping some unfortunate passengers into the raging foam. Mrs. Parker took command as the ship lurched through its fourth lap of the journey; Mrs. Keller took the wheel and steered it through the dashing waves of Multiplication, slowing only to haul on board Furman Gossett and Bobby Joe Stepp. Weather beaten and sadly in need of repair, the ship came under the inspiring and understanding command of Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Combs. Steadying it on an even keel, they halted only to take on board two more passengers — Pauline Brown and Lucille Moody. On the seventh lap of the voyage, though Mrs. Stepp struggled hard, several passengers went over board with the tide. Into Miss Jordon’s capable hands the wheel came; though the waves tossed and spray flooded the hold, she held the helm steadfast until sunlight poured through the mist, brightening a new horizon in the ninth lap. Vera Heatherly stowed her duffle aboard as Mrs. Medford took the helm only to struggle until Mr. Bruce took command, who in turn, exhausted, gave Mr. Peek command. A great shout was heard as Mr. Peek came aboard; at last the wet exhausted passengers had hope of land. Alas, during this eleventh lap, a rebellion arose. Many of the passengers left the ship for an unauthorized visit, delaying it for one precious day. Now at last, with Miss Curto clutching the wheel, this great, worn, and scarred ship is nearing land. Though weary the eighteen passengers are shouting. With the voyage so near at end, with the promise land in sight, with their documents of victory at hand, each feels a bit sad, thinking that when the stern, at last, will touch the bank, they will step from its huge and sheltering bulk into blinding sunlight and into an uncertain world. Why then shouldn’t they hesitate and look backward? Their voyage is at an end.
