Wee ts Left to right LINDA YOUNG MIKE JONES CHLANS SS) IP RO Isle (CY e w@e@er eo | stopped in a tea room the other day down Flat Rock way. | looked at the heap of leaves in the cup, but after a second, it seemed as though the leaves had disappeared and before my vision came an endless march of familiar faces. They were all my classmates but in unfamiliar places and situations. According to that vision: Charles Fowler is now manager of the Dixie Store. Carl Mintz and Sylvia Corne are married and are in the procedure of living happily ever after. Jack Franklin is teaching Agriculture at Flat Rock. On Saturdays he drives in the stock car races. Sherrill Mullinax is now the owner of a large bean farm on Green River. Ray Phillips is Basketball Coach at U. N. C. and likes his job very much. Jim Staton has bought out the Youngblood Trucking Com- pany and is making a fortune. Lois Crisp is still happily married and has two children. Katherine Johnson and Donald Hudson are the foreign language interpreters at the U. S. Bureau of Customs. Joan Kay and Preston Justus, who incidently are work- ing in Washington with the F. B. I., were finally married, and Joan has accepted a job as a model. Evie Mae Lowe has just accepted a job on the radio. She is America’s topmost newscaster on Station G-o-s-s-i-p. Charles Hunnicutt has made a fortune from his company, The Hunnicutt Practical Joker’s Supply. Guy McCarson and Polly Howse are working together as a dance team in a New York night club. Baisden Tabor has bought a sawmill from Arthur Hoots and says that the hard work agrees with him. Willard Rhodes has a barber shop. He says he has more trouble with mustaches than anything else. Wynona Anders is Mr. Justus’ own private secretary. Grace Justus is playing with ihe All-Stars, and wouldn’t tell who she married. Wilma Sherman and husband are living happily on the money she made from her book “Two Can Live as Cheaply as a Half-pint.”” Martha Young and Ruth Jones are nurses at Blair General Hospital in Asheville. Jane Osteen has succee ded in raising 5,000 chickens and is trying to rear her eight children at the farm of Cecil Henderson who is now her husband. Doris Hunnicutt is working for Pat and Turner Lingerie Company and is looking for a MAN. Faye Waters is the best Trapeze Artist ever to work for “Barn and Smell” circus. She is also the wife of the head monkey-tamer. Fred Waters is the undisputed billard champion of the world and has been for seven years. Evelyn Prince and Arnold Case are living a happy married life and are getting rich from their radio programs, “The Plague of a Mother-in-law,” and “Married Life Can Be Wonderful.” Nancy Hardin has done very well as an interior deco- rator. Her father builds houses and she decorates them. Mary Ann Hefner is ihe chief assistant decorator. Betty Jean Bishop married a toothpick manufacturer. Doris Delvechio became a seamtress and is having a rip- ping good time. Earleen Fortner is now in the movies. She is being starred in G. M. C.’s new picture, “The White Raven.” Helen Blythe is a saleslady for the Rosebud Packing Company, and she says that cucumbers will sell pretty fair this season. Janelle McGuinn is the manager of Woolworths, and spends a lot of time at the hardware counter. 1| think she’s waiting for a man. Barbara Potts is selling annuals, class rings, and all the little necessities you get at graduation time to high schools. Virginia Burns married a fruit salesman from Genoa, ltaly. Damaris Robinson married the ‘Guess What Man,” Coach M. Bagwell. They now have three little “Bags” in the family. Eleanor Saltz ran away with the milk man, and her friend Lois Owens ran away with a man from the Bleachery at Travelers Rest. 1| think it was a double elopement. Evelyn Lanning is just a plain old housewife and has VERY LITTLE TO DO except sweep, mop, change babies, and the usual chores. Emma Jean Thompson is the biggest pest that Tom Shepherd never got. She only had 26 wrecks last year, but the old Plymouth still runs. Emma Jean still runs too. Jann Pace is the English teacher at Flat Rock. Ann Maxwell found that her talent was in drawing. She makes a pleasing income that way. Celestine Heatherly is now a beauty operator and has her own “Saloon”! Mable Case has turned out to be a pretty good book- keeper. She now works for Sears, Roebuck and Company. Betty Sue McMinn is the secretary of the secretary to the second vice president of Bob Jones University. Rhonda Lockaby is our first lady president. Jennie Bell McCarson is in Rhonda’s cabinet. Sadie Jones ran away with a traveling man. | manage my father’s soap factory. My vision fades. | see no more; but that’s enough. LORIMER KEATHLEY, Class Prophet. SM TSS) ID'S IO) VY ‘50, have come to our the class of We, journey’s end; | shouldn’t say the end; | should say the beginning. It is the end of twelve wonder- ful carefree years together—years that in later life we will all love to look back over, and we will enjoy their beautiful memories. We, the Senior Class, first began to travel the path of knowledge in 1938. The years that fol- lowed were years of growth and adjustment. We carved our personalities, deepened our char- acters, enriched our lives and the lives of others. During all the years that we have gone to school, we seem to have enjoyed the last four years of school the best. It was thrilling when we entered the ninth grade to know that we were in our first year of By this high school. We felt very important. —s wweeo time we were really growing up, so we were al- lowed more freedom. There were the picnics that we went on and the short trips that we took. The basketball and baseball games were always exciting. As we advanced farther into high school there were many different clubs and activi- ties in which we could participate. One of the high points in our school activi- ties was the Junior-Senior banquet. As Juniors it was our privilege to entertain the Seniors. We all had a wonderful time planning for it and giving it. As we turn the last page in the year book of our schools days and listen to the last echo of cur footsteps in the dear old halls of Flat Rock, we sincerely hope that we are taking wiih us a knowledge of having accomplished something and are leaving behind a feeling that we have enriched ihe life of the school. We thank the teachers who have given us their guidance and understanding all through the years; but for them, where would we be today? We would surely not be about to slip over the threshold to a new and exciting life.
