PROPI-IECY CCOntinuedJ Four Oaks, which had become a very large establishment. Ora Mae Moore was working at the drug store. Lois Raynor and Clara Belle Jones were head nurses in the new Four Oaks Hospital, where they were doing efficient work. Of course I visited the school building. James Robert Massengill was princi- pal of the large consolidated school. Mavis Allen, Clara Belle Creech, and Mary Helen Blackmon were high school teachers. In the library I found a copy of the town s new daily paper, the Four Oaks N ews. One article in the paper interested me greatly. It told of the election of a new sheriff in Johnston County, and the new sheriff was none other than Earl Allen. In the course of a few weeks I have seen all the seniors of the class of 1948. They seem to be doing well in 1958. and I wish them the best of luck in the years to come.
