It was a happy and exciting experi- ence, meeting our new teachers and the girls and boys from the other grammar schools. Under our very capable home room teachers, we were offered a helpful guidance in preparation for our High School work. Entering High School meant more than just an- other grade in school. It meant working out schedules, deciding on subjects, and learning to be in class on time. On the whole this was a very important year in our High School life. We progressed rapidly, each year receiving more privileges which added greatly to the enjoyment of our school work. In the eleventh grade we be- gan to realize that our school days were passing much too rapidly. We had learned much by then that had not been taught in our daily subjects, such as the meaning of friendship. Down through the years we have doubly enjoyed the activities of our school. As Juniors, it was our privilege to entertain the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme, “An Old Colonial Plantation,” was beautifully carried out. This year on November 2, we journeyed to Bob . Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, to see the Shakespearian play, “The Tempest.” April of ‘51—a very special honor to us as Seniors and another banquet added to our memories. This time we were the ones being honored. Spontaneous excitement filled the air when we learned that there was to be a senior play. Every- one wanted a part but there were only a few characters so many of us were turned down. Mrs. Sinclair was always patient with us even when we cut up. Then came the momentous month of May. It is a feeling of importance, insignificance, and ac- complishment just begun. There are so many last little things to do and so little time to do it. We hardly seemed to begin practicing graduation exercises when we found ourselves receiving those much desired and treasured diplomas. It is with a feeling of sadness mingled with joy and pride that | write of our last year together. Proud that at last we have won our spurs. Now we are ready to go forth into that larger world where shining mountains stand everywhere chal- lenging our conquest. | feel that our school days at Flat Rock have been well spent. With the help of our beloved principal and teachers, we have been able to accomplish much in our school work. Memories of full and happy years filled with work and play linger in our minds as we, the Seniors of ‘51, complete our school days here. Class Historian MARY JANE FREEMAN As | sit gazing into my crystal ball, | see a very busy class of ‘51 doing some interesting things about 1961. The first person | see is Eva Nell Cable. She is a very successful Civil Service worker in Wash- ington, D. C. Vernon Waters, who loves to be on the go, is getting his share of action as a traveling sales- man, It seems that Bobbe Lytle and Barbara Jean Bradburn insist on sticking to medicine. Bobbe is chief nurse at St. Francis Hospital while Barbara Jean is the wife of the head doctor in the same hospital. Coming into view now is Edward Henderson, a professional basketball player. He is a farmer during the summer. Bennie Justus is still crazy about algebra, in fact, she is teaching at Flat Rock. Miss Osteen has re- tired. Newell Saltz seems to think it is great to be manager of a large store like the A. P. Avis Mintz “drifts” in looking tired. She is book- keeper for Brunson’s Furniture store. For a change in scenery, here comes Gerald Mullinax driving a Buick ‘61. He seems to think it is fun to work in an automobile factory. Now | see Eva Levi (or should | say Mrs. Osteen?) giving her neighbors some points on how to pro- duce the best meals. Charles Barnes is a famous artist, whose master- pieces are ladies portraits. Junior McDaniel is a scientist. His greatest prob- lem is how to stay awake in the daytime and still stay out late at night. Margaret Pace, who couldn’t make up her mind to settle down to married life, has just published a book entitled, “How to Get a Husband’s Ap- proval of His Wife Being a Stenographer.” Gladys Mullinax is still playing basketball and is a star player for the All-Americans. On the sidelines, | see some peppy cheer leaders, among them is Carmelita Redmond. Appearing next is Jack Hill who is now manager of Efird’s Department Store. James Cantrell, who is still interested in music, directs an orchestra all his own. Class Prophecy Houston Stepp thinks it pays to have a way with women, since he is a vacuum cleaner salesman. Frankie Bayne seems to think the only thing wrong with being a county nurse, is that you are just too tired to go out on dates after a hard day’s work. Pat Hall, who is now Mrs. Henderson, is a substi- tute teacher for grammar schools. What is that great noise | hear? Why, it's James Heatherly’s tractor. Tending a hundred-acre farm keeps him pretty busy. _ Miriam McMahan seems very happy with her job as hostess at the Skyland Hotel. Gene Smith (or should | say Captain Gene Smith) says army life is just fine. Edward Nelson, the boy with the big muscles, is now putting them to use as an electrician. Geraldine Mullinax is now a famous movie star. Bobby Bumgarner, who is now bookkeeping for Gulf Oil Company, seems to think it isn’t such a dull job after all. This looks like a tamiliar place. Well, that’s not hard to figure out. It’s our own Hendersonville library with Lillie Mae Laughter as librarian. Mary Jane Freeman is now typist for the govern- ment at the White House in Washington. Bobby Bell seems to be well contented as a dairy farmer. Kenneth Summey, who just loves to see things growing on the farm, is now agriculture teacher at Fletcher. It looks as if Marcella Pittman has a new hobby, collecting engagemeni rings. She still can’t make up her mind which type of men she likes best— short and handsome or tall and blond. Well, look who’s coming here. It is none other than Vera Capps, tired but happy. She is a private secretary. Janette Brady seems to think singing over tele- vision programs and being a housewife can be a very exciting life. Eddie Bell is very happy as a teller in the First National Bank. Why is Sam Sosebee looking so happy? Oh, | see now. He has just received the news that he has won the state contest for producing the best corn. 19 Tommie Lockaby and Clarendon Sherman make fine partners in the real estate business. Emerging now is Anna Sue Thompson. She is busy showing people how nice and helpful a red-headed district health nurse can be. Mary Sue Johnson, who is a private secretary for the Governor of North Carolina, finds lots of contentment in life as well as work. Arnold Gilbert thinks life can be very interesting as owner of Economy Drug Store with Bobby Davis as manager and helper. Don King appears to be teaching dramatics at Bob Jones University. June Pace and Doris Cornwell think married life isn't so bad if they can be neighbors and gossip over their back fence each day. Frankie Mullinax has decided that career girl life is not for her. She just wrote a book on “How to Make Housekeeping a Hobby.” Ruth Stepp seems to have gained a few pounds. No wonder, she is now the manager of a restau- rant. She always did love to eat. As my ball keeps spinning, | see John Cox who is a seller for Becker’s Bakery, having a wonder- ful time. Arthur Howse and David Sitton seem to make good drivers for Youngblood Company. Ann Robinson delights in her career as a model. Verna Bright prefers a quiet life, so she has de- cided to work in a dress-making shop. Virginia Lindsey looks contented to be soaring through the air as an airline hostess in the plane in which her husband is pilot. Juanita Medlin is in politics up to her ears. She is determined to be the first woman president. Tommy Earnhardt is now teaching physical edu- cation at Brevard College. Parading before me now is Nedral Pac® who is doing some fine missionary work in China. Mary Lou Lockaby, who has just resigned her position as secretary, is sitting with her husband watching Niagara Falls. Just as my face was appearing in the crystal ball, one of my nephews said, “Sreptia, may | see that pretty ball?” Before | could recover the crystal ball, he had broken it, so for me the future is all unknown. SREPTIA ALLEN ‘51 Last Will and Testament We, the members of the Senior Class of ‘51, of the city of Flat Rock, of the county of Hender- son and the state of North Carolina, being of sound (?) mind and memory, do hereby leave our last will and testament, which we feel is our duty to pass on our most outstanding characteristics to the rising Senior class.

And last, but not least, |, Tom Lockaby, will my most cherished possession, the ability to get “Study Hall’ for every little time | play hookey from Mrs. Lynch’s Economics class to any upris- ing Senior.

We are proud of the standards maintained by this club. Students must have a “B” average and the approval of the Faculty to be eligible. Monthly meetings are held in Mrs. Crawford’s room. STUDENT COURT This is the second year we have had a Student Court. We speak for the whole school in saying that we are proud of this judicial body. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council helps to make the school. We are indeed proud of the fine work they have done, and we hope they will improve as much in years to come as they have this year. GLEE CLUB We are fortunate to have Mr. Huff to direct the Glee Club. He and the students who belong to the Glee Club have done a grand job, and we will always remember the Christmas Program they gave. F.H.A. The F.H.A. is a homemaking club that every young homemaker should belong to. It not only is helpful but provides recreation. F.F.A. The F.F.A. is a club for boys interested in farming. It, like the F.H.A., is not only very helpful, but also provides recreation. TARENTELLA CLUB The Tarentella Club is a dancing team. Their artistic ability was shown at the Cherokee Indian Fair this year. CHEERLEADERS We really have an active group of Cheerleaders this year. They put their whole hearts into their yells and our teams feel they have someone backing them. Their untiring efforts are rewarded as they share the victories with our teams. 45 ae merit TAMAR: | Woy! a Ai i | | 1 | : GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM M. Bagwell, Coach BOYS’ BASEBALL TEAM M.

As | come into my homeroom, | see Mrs. Sinclair trying to get that rowdy bunch of Seniors quiet for roll call. Here comes Tommy Lockaby straggling in trying to slip by unnoticed, but it doesn’t work. She gives him one of those ““Where-have-you-been?” looks which means ‘Study Hall.” | go to Bookkeeping class and | see Fred Pace and Rayford Hart digging away. (Something unusual for them. Mr. Justus must be coming.) Who’s that flying by me? It must be Carroll Hal- ford and Larry Huggins running to Miss Garver’s Sci- ence class. Late again! | though | might have a word with Margaret Pace between classes and | hurry up to her only to be rudely brushed aside. She’s awfully busy these days. | see Curtis Osteen walk into English class. Good- ness! What was that noise? His seat fell with him but nothing unusual at Flat Rock. | see a bunch of boys clamoring for the water fountain. Looks like we need one at every door. Who’s this | see sauntering down the hall? Looks like H. C. McCall. He’s late for Geometry again. But as H. C. says, “Better late than never.” Mrs. Crawford walks down the hall looking de- jected. | guess it’s some of those 8th graders again or is it her French class? As | hiirry to class, | see Don King and Vivian Sherman so absorbed in themselves that | nearly knock them down in my haste. Basketball seems to be the general sport at Flat Rock this year. Is it the basketball or the coach? Janet Brady floats up wearing one of those tight skirts, a crisp blouse, and a colored tie. That appears to be the style with the girls this year. Don’t tell me Mr. Franklin has come back into the office again? He seems to stay underfoot all the time. Looks like we have a mighty active cheering team. They seem to be on the beam, and how! Girls, don’t make the mistake of calling Connie Redmond “Miss”. She detests it. We have a fine group of bus drivers. At least Mary Ellen thinks so. Donald Painter seems to think he can do his math homework while walking down the hall. He'll get caught yet. Sam Sosebee sure has a time with those rough- necks at the lunchroom door. He doesn’t care as long as he gets two or three helpings of the good food! 51 Our grounds look mighty clean lately. | always did say Flat Rock students were a smart bunch. There seems to be a lot of engagement rings popping up in the Senior class lately. What’s the “secret”, girls? There goes Mary Edith in a mad dash to the Snack Bar. She says, “Anything to escape Mrs. Rogers’ History class.” | see Tommy Sherman and Bobby Justus are headed for Study Hall. They must be having trouble in Miss Justus’ English class. Avis Mintz says that she doesn’t like redheads but she’s not fooling us. We don’t believe a word she says. Bobby (Dunce) Greer is washing Mr. Huff’s black- boards, | see. Do you suppose he has been blowing his bubble gum in assembly? Bobby Bell, who is always late for French class, wonders why all the girls stare at him when he walks in. Carolyn Osteen looks blue lately. And no wonder, Sue Hall, one of her best friends, just left recently. | see Dwight Justus and James Connell coming to the office again. This makes twice in a row that Miss Garver has run them out of General Science. | see Clarendon Sherman, Tommy Lockaby, and James Heatherly going up to Mrs. Sinclair’s desk in hopes of getting excused (since they’re having an Economics test today), but Mrs. Sinclair says, “No!” Better luck next time, boys. Wonder when Pat Hall will get one of those “sparklers”? Guess it won’t be long now. She an d Ed. H. seem to hit it off pretty good together. | ran smack into Ross Pace going down the hall. He seems to have his eye centered on something interesting. My, yes! It’s none other than Barbara Heffner. | hear Pat Osteen has a new secret admirer. She won’t tell who it is, but we’ll find out sooner or later. Looks like “Cotton’” Magness would freeze with his crew hair-cut but he doesn’t seem to mind. He says it keeps the birds from building nests in his hair. And | hurry into French class thinking maybe Mrs. Crawford won‘t catch me chewing my gum. But the most distressing thought these days is of leaving the halls of dear old Flat Rock in which | have seen so many pleasures and good times.
