SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY April 5, 1963 How can it be that so many wonderful things could have happened to the 1953 seniors of Fuquay High in just ten short years! Every single member is prospering and seems happy. Carlyle Page ' s ambition to become a doctor is now a reality. He, his two nurses, Pearl Jones and Peggy Kesler, and his receptionist, Pansy Myatt, are quite popular with all the patients. Directly across the street in Fuquay from the doctor ' s office is Phyllis Jones ' exquisite beauty salon. Among her employees as skilled beauticians are Maxine Adams, Helen Rowland, and Rhuteen Adams. The business is so large that a secretary is necessary to arrange appointments. She is Doris Moore, another classmate. Shirley Sherron, once President of the Future Teachers Club, is now struggling with her fifth graders in an attempt to explain fractions to them. Who would have ever thought, however, that Hugh Thompson would be- come Fuquay ' s silent but firm principal, or that little Jeannette Saunders would now be mixing chemicals in the school laboratory for her high school students? Harold Honeycutt still cruises around Fuquay in his Olds— but now a new 1963 model. A beauty! Although he knows every part of it, he often lets the best mechanic in town, Charles Garrison, check it over. Roy Morton now has another beef cow along with a very good tobacco farm and a 1963 Chevrolet. Herman Taylor is without the cow, but has quite a profitable little farm. Both take their profits to the new banker, Charles Parker. Two working pleasantly at the telephone switchboard are Virginia Aiken and Frances Wood. Among those who have traveled far from the old home town are Gloria Pearce and Nancy Tilley. Both are world known for their unsurpassed voices. Patsy Walters has become the most widely read poet in America. Equally famous, though, are Polly Prince, now a much sought cover girl, and Carolyn Prichett, a New York model who specializes in modeling formal gowns. Three other members of the 1953 class are in New York. Sue Wood and Annie Margaret Prince have be- come Macy ' s best two sales-ladies, while Jimmy Bowling remains Lord and Taylor ' s efficient manager. In the capitol of our nation, Jimmy Norris now occupies the White House. His body guard is none other than J. W. Mangum. Among the cabinet members are Allie Mae Hester as Secretary of the Treasury and Buck Rowland as Secretary of Agriculture. In the Senate is James Wortham, while David Brown spreads his influence in the House. Closest to the President, however, is wise Joseph Carter, as the Chief Adviser to the President. While speaking of the government, the Governor of North Carolina is now none other than Buck Adcock. Governor Adcock ' s secretary is an old classmate, Gerold Goodwin. Back in Fuquay, the Mayor is now the outstanding Mickey Smith. Two lawyers came from that worthy class ten years ago. Wayland Honeycutt now practices in Charlotte, but Marshall Currin has a rising firm in the home town. Eva Dupree is Lawyer Currin ' s capable secretary. Speaking of secretaries, Golda and Glenda Ferrell, twins of the class, took a secretarial course and liked it so much they decided to continue their studies. Now they own their own secretarial school. Some of their school mates, among whom were Louise Eakes, Marie Jordan, and Ernestine Holleman, are taking additional courses there to better enable them in the business field. Far away in India is Delphia Carter. Always with her purpose in mind, she graduated from college and went off to be a foreign missionary. The old original team in school, Hallie Guy and Betty Coats, are now the same, except, of course, for star- ring in the biggest television show produced in New York. Barbara Thomas has become the greatest dramatic actress in America, while Ben Bennett has become the dream of every American teen-ager as the handsome hero of the movies. Top acting in Hollywood is credited to Thomas Coats (the shiny new Oscar proves it). Tops in the musical field is Eleanor Clark, whose nimble fingers have led her to fame as a concert pianist. She is in demand to such an extent that her manager, Wilma Myatt, is constantly on the run. Some of those young baseball players in Fuquay, such as Henry Lawrence and Glenn Powell, have turned professional. Unbelievable contracts literally float around them. Wonder if they will stick to their present team or sign one of those tempting contracts? Uncle Sam called quite a few of the boys soon after graduation. Some decided to stay and make a career of it. Major Proctor Taylor, Major Joel Smith, Colonel Eugene Holleman, and General Frederick Harvell proved to be brilliant and capable military leaders. Among the many of the class who have taken the vows of matrimony are Frances Clark, Peggy Guthrie, and Mary Ree Dickens. AH are happily caring for their families and homes. As we look back over the past short ten years, it hardly seems possible that every single member of that 1953 class could achieve such success and happiness in such a little while! Page Twenty-three
