theless, we were filled with memories of our school days at Etowah. These will live on with us through- out Etowah and our lives. All the fun we have had and all the joys of the past four years will stay within our hearts and whenever we see the great colors Blue and White we will have reverence in our hearts for the school that we loved. Now we shall bid you adios. BOBBIE BLEVINS DOUGLAS SMITH G. B. BEASLEY JAMES RAY JOHNSON SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Looking around the crowded table, I just can't realize that my old friends of the class of '50 have changed so much. Yet when I think back how they were in 1950, they really haven't changed much; it's that they have become men and women and have made a successful life for themselves. You know, it's funny how an alumni banquet at a class homecoming reunion can bring back so many sweet memories of our old E. H. S. days. Everyone is trying to get a word in to find out what everyone has been doing in the past ten years. Well, Martha Abney is still working at 5th Avenue Jewelers. She said she has had three pro- posals in the past year, but has turned them all down, because she is still waiting for Ray (Soup) Ayers, the great football star. Yes, he is now a big coach at Auburn. Good luck Marthb. I guess all of you remember William Hegwood. Well, he is happily married now. (Shall we just say married?) William has bought our Piggly Wiggly and (they say) is doing well. Of course, what else could you expect from a guy like William? Jack Livingston is still playing professional football. He said when he got too old for playing he would start coaching if he could get a good offer. Yes, all the girls that go to Auburn say that Bobby Jones is still passing chewing gum to all the pretty girls. (You do remember Bobby, don't you?) Keep trying Bobby, you might land one of those Auburn peaches after all. They say Johnny Blackwell has a large farm on Sand Mountain. I hear he is doing fine with his crops, but could do better if it wasn't for the old boll weevil. I know you all remember our pretty Betty Ryals. She has just signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox. Her first picture is, Hold That Blonde. Her leading male, is none other than that handsome Jimmy Rich. Looking back to E..H. S. we find that Mary George Foreman is teaching English and Doris Nelson is teaching Physical Education. Lots of the girls in our class were really successful with their lovers. Here are just a few of the ones that I know have married since we finished. Otsie Bearden, Nellie Claburn, Mattie Lee Taylor, and Betty Whisenant. Margaret Spinks is happily married and has three children. She and Thomas live on Rainbow Drive. Margaret keeps the house and looks after the children while Thomas works at the steel plant. Evangeline Pettit has a music school on Broad Street now. She has about fifty students and en- joying the work fine. We hear that Peggy Aldridge has a new short bob. Very becoming, but such a shock. Seems that Elaine Blackwell's smile along with those dimples has helped hook the man of her dreams. Gallant has lost one of its beauties, Carolyn Burgess. She is now Mrs. Durwood Campbell and they are residing in Switzerland where Durwood is working with the government. Ann Cox is now vocalist of her husband's orchestra at J. S. T. C. Edna Faye Grady now has the other ring to match the one she was wearing when we were seniors. (Continued in Ad Section)
