Get¬ ting adjusted to the high-school way of life wasn’t easy, however, with Mr. Emerson Deese’s help and our eager curosity, we made a great start to that desired goal. We gain¬ ed Jay Louis Brooks and to our sor¬ row lost Gerald Clontz to Vero Beach High School. Our Sophomore year started off with twenty three ambitious stu¬ dents , Mr. Emerson Deese as spon¬ sor, and our same old home room. We gave up the idea of having a par¬ ty every night, and got a firm foot¬ ing on the situations that faced us. We painted the walls, refinished the cabinets and tables , had the floor covered, and made new curtains for the windows. We shall never forget how happy we all were when the task was finished. It also proved to us that we could set our goals and attain them. This year Brooks Mullis, Leroy Haigler, and Carol Lee dropped out of school. Each year was to be met with more res¬ ponsibilities for each student. Our Junior year started off with a bang. Mrs. Doris Maness was a sponsor through the summer months, and Mrs . Jack Baucom accepted us for the remainder of the year. We will always be grateful to her for all the extra things she did for us. Many projects were under¬ taken f o r money raising. We gave $40.00 on the payment for the lights for the school and$50.00 to the Sen¬ iors on their trip to Washington . We made two trips to Cher aw Beach and spent one week-end at Myrtle Beach. Those days will always be cherished. Two of the highlights of the year was presenting our Junior Play and receiving our class rings. Nine of the seventeen members of the Beta Club were selected from our Junior Class. This year we lost Roy Helms to RockHill High School and Jay Brooks to Monroe High School. Our year was climaxed with presenting the daisy chain to the Senior Class. These were serious moments for each of us for we were beginning to realize the seats we were to soon fill. Mr. George Williams came to Fairview our Senior year. Mrs. Jack Baucom was our sponsor, but only for a short while. Mrs. J. L. Aus¬ tin replaced her. Donald Baucom was our president for the year. Our senior play, “Here Comes Charlie,’’ was presented under the direction of Mrs . John Clontz, the seventh grade teacher. An invitation has been extended to the Junior Class to accompany us to Washington. Many money raising projects are being undertaken. The Donkey Ball Game and High School Party are two we will always remember. The thrill of ordering caps and gowns, invitations, selecting mascots and other things are only a few exper¬ iences we have had as seniors. W e are looking forward to our Junior-Senior Banquet, the trip to Washington, and mainly our own graduation; which will mark the close of our twelve years together. They have been good and bad. May we always profit by the good and be¬ come stronger by the bad. As we look ba ck through the past four years we see many things to make our class an outstanding one. Two years a Civitan medal has been awarded, both years com¬ ing to our class. We contributed more members to the Beta Club than any other classes the two years we were eligible. Lets not forget to look in the trophy case. Many trophies have been obtained the past four years. Championship as well as Sportsmanship, and many mem¬ bers of our class helped obtain them. The cheerleaders that were always faithful were also members of our class. The past twelve years we seventeen Seniors have played the game of life together, and we hope well. May these years be only stepping stones to the future that lies ahead. Gwen Greene Class Prophecy It was just at twilight last October when we drifted through the main gate and into the tinsel glitter of the County- Fair Grounds-A tangy autumn twilight with the ferris wheel magically etched against a hazy silver sky and the whole carnival world a-twinkle, strung with jewel-like lights and splashing with brilliant, bold color. Fragrant spices teased our nostrils, and the barkers voices blended into a weird symphony of the delightful dissonance. The merry-go- round’s little calliope rose above it, haunting and poignant as the gay crimson and gold horses snorted and pranced in their make believe dance. It was not the world of chores and books, not the world of fact and routine. It was a strange and magical place and very exciting. Any thing could happen tonight. We paused at the Bingo stand and magically we won. On we drifted, past the ferris wheel to the world of most astonishing and amazing creatures-giants, dwarfs, Sia¬ mese twins, bearded women, and two headed calves , fire eaters, sword swallowers, and India rubber men, the crazy house, the roller coaster, the Hot Chocolate Revue. And then we saw Madame Barbee. She was glowingly dark as only gypsies are, and her eyes reached out and caught us and drew us helplessly toward her. Her white teeth flash¬ ed and her golden ear rings emitted little sparks. The flap of the tent swayed gently and she was gone. Wondering, we gazed at its mysterious symbols and read, MADAME BARBEE KNOWS THE PATHS OF THE STARS. SHE FORTELLS THE FUTURE. The future!! Wonderful unknown future! Where would we be ten years from tonight? On what strange soil? In what teeming city? Or maybe on a quiet farm? We Shivered and clutching each other’s hand tightly, we lifted the ' flap. The white teeth flashed, the golden ear rings emitted more golden sparks, and a long slender, brown hand beckoned us in. “You want to know the Past, the Present, the Future? Yes?? Madame Barbee knows!!! ! Madame Barbee tell you if you cross her palm with silver! ! ! ’’ The dark eyes seemed to burn as she performed some mystic rite and hunched above a gleaming opaque sphere. The slender brown hand caressed it and strange gypsie words fell on our enchanted ears. “In English, Madame Barbee,’’ we begged. “In Eng¬ lish.” “Ten years from tonight,” she chanted. “The stars are blue.” “Ten years from tonight,” shechanted. “My words “Ah, such excitement! So much people and so many noise ! ! ! Such a pretty girl-and she is 1 a u gh in g as she dances across the stage. This pretty girl is named Ida- You know her ? And the crowd cheers for her and much photographers take her picture. Town is very big, oh, it must be Broadway! You know this Ida?” “Why, that’s you, Ida Ramsey. You’re a professional ballerina on Broadway. You always said you were going to be! ” “The picture is fading, is going fast, but-waitL Wait little moment-is curly haired girl-she walk around lot and sell many Cadillacs to much people. They all smile, and call her Margaret.” “Of course! It’s Margaret Greene-You know Marga¬ ret would be where Cadillacs are. You always wanted one of your own.” The slender brown finger caressed the sphere once more grown opaque. The black eyes burned fanatically, and suddenly, the crystal ball gleamed with light. “ZambaM Is crazy! Much men go fast, faster! Peo¬ ple scream! Women faint! Whistle blow! Is funny game- Hit and then run. People wave flag-they yell and give him silver trophy. He pushes off cap and grins. Why it’s Bryte Rushing! ! ” “Bryte Rushing, you won! You won the game-and by one run. We always thought you would be a big league ball player.” “Is more picture yet-is longest legs I ever saw. He is cute blond fellow! You know a long legged someone nam¬ ed Arlie ? He slaps this Bryte on the back and he say, “Drop by my office next week. Maybe we can fix you up with some insurance for your team.” He big Business Man. Would like to know this Arlie.” “Oh, that’s Arlie Baucom, Madame Barbee, we always thought he would be a fine business man.” Madame Barbee leaned close to the darkening globe and murmered another incantation. It sprang to life again and glittered brilliantly. “Madame Barbee see more big someone-with very blue eyes and very big smile. Much noise and much clatter and bangs all around.-- This someone-he is in charge- he is head of big farm.” “Warren Hinson, you’ve made good at farming, tell us more about the rest, Madame Barbee! ” “Must go far away to h e a r about others-across big river and open prarie and now Madame Barbee do hear. Madame Barbee hear young woman s a y, “Somebody help me, tell me what to do!” Is many Thanksgiving animals around-many what you call them? Turkeys! Now is nice man named Don come and tell her what to do. Big car drive up with pretty lady and three little boys in it. They live next door with many turkeys too! Neat, sweet little lady has pretty name-Marlene. “That couldn’t be anyone except Ann Haigler and her Don. They sound prosperous, don’t they? I bet those little boys belong to Marlene Carter and her husband Don Simp¬ son, who live next door. Where’s the rest Madame Barbee? Lucille, Dean, and Gwen and Ocie ? ” “Your Ocie is across much land. She wear pretty blue, uniform and walks straight like a soldier. Many people fol¬ low her into big silver flying bird.” “Why,Ocie Mae Griffin, you’re an airline stewardess.” “Madame Barbee see little man sitting at front of shin¬ ing bird. Boy called R. A. He make real good pilot.” “Why that’s R. A. Kindley. Who thought he would ever be a pilot? ” “What about Gwen, Madame Barbee, what’s she doing?” “Madame Barbee see tall, dark girl. Must be Gwen. She lives in Monroe, and is in a strange business. She is a seed cleaner,” “My goodness, Gwen, you’re at Baucom’s, just like you said you would be .’ ’ Madame Barbee’s globe glimmered and gleamed, and she laughed excitedly. “Madame Barbee see real cute boy in funny looking suit with rolled up trousers and little white hat. He mops up deck of big ship all time, a nd he have little black book with much phone numbers in it.” “Oh, Bill Freeman, you’ve made a perfect sailor.” “But what about Lucille, Madame Barbee?” ‘Cute little blond in blue coveralls put much gas in many cars. She proprietor of a big Esso Service Station in Stanfield. She married to man who work with her. And around corner is a hardware store with another classmate there. Sign read Clontz’s Hardware Store. Dean works as clerk behind counter.” “We always thought Lucille and Dean would be at Stan¬ field.” Again Madame Barbee rubs the big crystal ball which has grown dim. “Hear many children, laughing, and calling for another goal. Big tall man-he talk with five boys . They play fun¬ ny game. Throw the ball through the basket. They call him Don. He coach at real big school.” “Donald Baucom, you made the grade. Head coach at North Carolina State. “MadameBarbee see cutelittle girl at game. She make many pictures of boys. They call her Black. You know this girl? Would like to meet her.” “That’s Glenda Black, Madame Barbee. So, she’s a photographer. Just imagine that. What about Marjorie and Bird, Madame Barbee? Can you find them for us?” “Light grows dim, Madame Barbee will try for you.” Maybe more silver will help bring the picture in clearer.” “All right-here’s more silver for you Madame Bar¬ bee. Tell us more about the wonderful future.” “Hear much music, big stage, bright lights. Pretty girl sit at piano. Music is magnificent. Sign on door says, “Marjorie Simpson, Concert P ianist.” She make beautiful “Why, that’s wonderful. Her music was always wonder¬ ful.” “Zoom -there go big blue Mercury. Pretty girl and twin boys stop in front of school house. Little boys draw much attention as they get out. People say Bird, but Madame Barbee see no bird. Pretty girl smiles-take hand of little boys and goes to her class. Do you know this girl? ? Madame Barbee want much to meet her. . .” “That’s Mary Ellen Austin, Madame Barbee . So she has her twin boys, and she’s a school teacher too! ! ! ” “The spell is broken, Madame Barbee can see no more. ' ’ And sure enough the globe no longer gleamed and glittered. It was opaque, dull, lifeless, and Madame Barbee sank back exhausted, her eyes closed. The long slender, brown hands were still. “Thank you, Madame Barbee, thank you for telling us.” There was no answer, so we tiptoed out of the tent. Out of the future, back into the present. We looked at each other wonderingly. True ? ? ? ? Who knows ? ? ? ?
