CLASS ADVISERS MRS. ALMA REITZEL MISS LOIS COON CLASS PROPHECY “We Dipped Into the Future, Far as Human Eye Could See” (With an Apology to the Poets) Having realized the prophetic powers granted Jo Doris and me, the seniors asked us to look into the seeds of Time to say which grain would grow and which would not. But we two would fain turn the pages of “The Graduates’ Book” slowly, lest there be recorded much to regret. Timidly we opened the treasured volume kept by Father Time and turned to the chapter bearing this heading: “A Record of the 1954 Graduates of Fred T. Foard High School.” Hesitating no longer, we dared read. Seniors, proudly do we reveal your future record. Step quickly across the pages of time to the year 1964. Troy, John Wallace, Bobby, Howard, Derrell, and Frank - once the most care- free of youths; now, distinguished educators - view your progress. Alluring young minds to nobler worlds and leading the way! Ah, Jean, Doris Coulter, Mary Jane,Betty Jean, and Beatrice - Angels with the Lamps - feeling another’s woe. Think of it. Suffering relieved through your minis- try of mercy. Ah, Memory, play an old tune on our hearts, for here we read of lasting fame for musical Naomi, Ann, Sylvia, and Joanne. Guy, Ralph Cook, Farrell, Lewis, Larry, and Eddie - in the service of your country - going where glory awaits you. Glory is your prize; honor is your wealth. Say, Richard, Leonard, and Weston - ministers of God. Well are you fighting the better fight. And Ruby Jo, Emogene, Margaret Sigmon, Shirley Dare, and Peggy Ann - in your chosen secretarial work. Delight in your careers. Laboring hands bless a waiting world. Ah, here’s a list. Nancy, Shirley Sue, Nadine, Juanita, and Benelia - School- marms all. A few limbs of birch and a few plain rules! Well, there’s no gather- ing the rose without being pricked by the thorns. Behold Jerry and Gene,with timely care, dispensing balm of Gilead. Remem- ber that physicians, of all men, are most happy; upon their sacrifices the gods themselves throw incense. And Maxine, Betty Jane, Margaret Mull, Maynell, Alice, Evelyn, and Jackie - housewives proud. Tend your little ones with loving care, for of such is the kingdom of heaven! Ah, Scottie Sue, Helen and Billie Faye - ladies of fashion and models fine. No beauty is like the beauty of the mind. Well, Betty Dean, Doris McRee, and Sue - Champions fair. How many medals and trophies rare! Ah, Johnny and Ralph - seekers of distant happiness - Hollywood is granting you lasting fame. Jack, Ray, Alfred,and Sammy - tillers of the soil - thriving citizens of a thriv- ing state! Betty Jo, F ranees , Shirley Dickinson, and Peggy Jean - caretakers of the female crown of glory. You are much sought after. There, now, Ercel. As no man is born an artist; so no man is born an angler. Your fishing has improved; your paintings have endured. Well, Danny, you and Howard Weaver are truckers rare, being endowed with wisdom to guard your tempers and tongues in the battle with pedestrianism. That’s all, classmates. We've reached the end of the chapter. You see, you aren’t escaping the normal,feverish state of human beings,but you are enjoying the secret applause of duties well done. Jo Doris Lail Charles Rhoney Prophets BEST LOOKING Helen Herman Johnny Craig SUPERLATIVES SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The year was 1950; the school, Banoak. The freshman class, under the leadership of Catherine Fullbright, was experiencing the first phase of secondary education. The members suffered the usual trials of lower classmen and advanced to the rank of sophomores without loss of life or limb. While sophomores, their social activities d i d not widen to any alarming degree; consequently, with Charles Rhoney as leader, they completed this year in a rather uneventful manner. Their status as juniors, however, effected a change. By this time they had outgrown the bashfulness and timidity of adolescence and were looking less seriously at life. For their gayer moods they square danc- ed at the White Pine, motored to Raleigh for the week end, and roasted wieners at the home of class president, Charles Rhoney. Too quickly their junior year passed by, and after the presentation of a highly successful commencement play they put aside their tasks to witness the graduation of their friends, the last senior class of Ban- oak. At a neighboring school, Blackburn, in the year 1950, things were very much the same as at Banoak. The freshman class consisted of eighteen members- some serious and some bent on mischief. All pass- ed, however, into the sophomoric state. During the second year some dropped out to become -what in their estimation was more desirable - housewives. Others fell by the way- side, thinking they had all the education they needed. In ’52 this talented group,known as the “lively Teven,” was allow- ed to sit in home room with the superior seniors. At the close of their junior year they even helped the seniors produce “A Case of Spring- time,” and presented Blackburn’s last graduating class with a daisy chain. Not willing to relinquish so happy an association, the juniors and seniors left the following day for a wonderful trip to the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina. In that way did they write finis to Black- burn High School. Another near-by school, Mountain View, was, in the year 1950, en- joying a more prolific season with an enrollment of forty-five. This year passed in a normal fashion, but when ’51 rolled around, only thirty- two students were on hand to take advantage of their greater opportu- nities. During this year they studied more or less and longed for the day when they could write by their names, juniors. This third year became even more exciting than was expected be- cause of the looming consolidation. They would make the most of their last days at Mountain View. Among those memorable last days were the presentation of “Hilarity House” and a banquet held in the basement of Zion Lutheran Church. CLASS HISTORY At commencement time some of the members serving as marshals were Nancy Burton- chief, Ann Teague, Sue Lowman, Nadine Copas, and Peggy Smith. Graduation over, they bid Mountain View High School farewell. Farther away at Star town in the year 1950, a bewildered class of thirty-one members started the thornier path of higher learning with Mrs. Vernon Wilkinson as sponsor. After a year of being trodden under the feet of upper classmen, they became upper classmen themselves. Mr. D. A. Anthony was spon- sor. The group entertained the seniors with a theater party where they saw “Angels in the Outfield” at the Catawba Theater in Hickory. As juniors under M r. Lynn’s guidance, their responsibilities in- creased, necessitating the sale of candy, soft drinks, and magazine sub- scriptions to finance a banquet at Lake Hickory Country Club. At the close of the junior year they packed their belongings, for they would return to Startown no more. The year is 1953; the school, Fred T. Foard. Gathered under its roof and in two of its spacious rooms are sixty-four seniors from Ban- oak, Blackburn, Mountain View, and Startown. In the beginning it was not so,however; for these seniors, along with the other high school stu- dents .were forced to reside four weeks at Blackburn, holding classes in the auditorium, school busses, and vacant rooms. Before reaching the new building, two seniors left the ranks, leav- ing a total of sixty-seven. Since then three additional ones have dropped out. The remaining ones have survived the headaches of selecting class officers and an annual staff. To guide them they have as class sponsors. Miss Lois Coon and Mrs. Alma B. Reitzel. To transact class business they have: Charles Rhoney- President, Juanita Wood- Vice President, Shirley Leatherman- Secretary and Nadine Copas- Treasurer. At the time of this writing the seniors, with Juanita Wood as editor- in-chief and Nancy Burton as co-editor, are compiling materialfor the first annual of Fred T. Foard. They do not mind this headache, though, because it is relieved to some extent by the anticipation of a week-long trip to Washington in April. We now roll up these senior annals for our Quatra-log- “four re- cords.“ There being no further business,we declare our task as histor- ians completed! Shirley Leatherman Sue Lowman Jean Short Evelyn Stallings LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the senior class of nineteen hundred and fifty-four, of Fred T.
