MUUUWtAlW! SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Listen all ye men and women, youths and maidens, and little children. Listen all ye people of Fuquay Varina and surrounding communities to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophetess, Kathryn Rowland, who now speaketh to you of things which must shortly come to pass. Behold, I am in a vision and it is the year of ' 66 and as I enter the beautiful and spacious drugstore on Main Street in downtown Fuquay, my heart is thrilled to see the proprietor, gray- ing Phillip Harvell, slightly bald Hubert Shearon, town mayor; and portly Boyd Collier, prominent den- tist, discussing the personnel of the new hospital just outside the city on 15-A. In the new hospital Ralph Crabtree is Chief of Staff; Annette Roundy is Head Nurse; Treva Ogburn is Dietician, and Robert Stevens, Billy Ray Yeargin, and John Mack Callis, whose col- lege days were deferred because of their Uncle Sam ' s orders, are interns. Lo! the scene changes and I ' m transported to the auditorium of the Fuquay- Varina Junior College where C. P. L. home economist, Nancy Keith is teaching a cooking school composed of young homemakers. I recognize Betty Baker, Marie Sherian, and Jean Wil- son, though each have added considerable pounds since high school days. Present also are three of the ad- ministrative staff — Dr. Priscilla Holloway, capable head of the English Department; Dean of Men, Waver- ly Fitzhugh; Phd., Emilie Tilley, of the foreign lan- guage department whose Comment-allez vous? is genuine and warm; and the Business Administrator, Mollie Ashworth. Just outside I hear the sound of a patrolman ' s siren. Imagine Jerry Oliver citing author- ess Sallie Carden to appear in court before Judge Doro- thy Adcock for speeding 90 m.p.h. in a restricted zone. Swiftly I am transported to far-away places. Dark Africa — and the faces of the natives glow at the mention of missionary Carolyn Hilliard who has labored so faithfully in the village recently built by the Charles Sauls Construction Company. Meanwhile, over in nearby Southern Rhodesia, Mary Aiken is con- ducting Gene Barbee and Dan Chappell, famed enty- mologists, on a tour of her plantation in a search for a new species of tobacco worms. Moscow — Harriet Davis, famed sociologist, makes Pravda ' s front page headlines with her sweeping re- forms behind the Iron-Curtain. Paris — Jean Campbell and Annette Eatman are busi- ly exporting their exotic new perfume (extracted from mulberry leaves by an ingenious process) to the American dealer Allen McLean. New York— at the office of the New York Times I see the editor James Byrd busily sorting out informa- tive news sent in by world correspondents Jimmy Caviness and Jimmy Holloman. — Carnegie Hall — Bob- by Jones and Doris Jones, famed jazz-playing duo, are making their formal debut. Hollywood — Sonja Averette enjoys a swim in the elaborate swimming pool she designed for singer Mit- chell Spivey. El Paso — Dude-Ranch proprietor, Rudolph Wal- ters is teaching the vacationing private secretaries, Shelby Davis and Peggy Myatt, the art of horseback riding. Southern Louisiana — Jackie Langdon is feeding her kennel of chinchillas their ration while her next- door neighbor Frank Benton raises cane. Joyfully, I accept an invitation to fly to Washing- ton, D.C. with Bobby Dean who has gained a deg ree of fame as a transcontinental pilot. Imagine my sur- prise as I gaze across the aisle and recognize a former classmate, the Rev. Arthur R. Talley, Jr., who is Senate Chaplain. As we stop by the White House to speak to the President of the LJ. S., Bobby Jeffries, I am amazed to see Katie Crabtree being congratulated by the first lady on her novel, THE CARE OF LITTLE FISHES, which is the nation ' s number one best seller. Katie is visiting her sister Betty Sue who is secretary to U. S. Senator Nathan Woodlief. What a sursprise as I regis- ter at the hotel to see a delegation of old time class- mates, Robert Clark, Thomas McGee, Peggy Passmore, and Virginia Griffis, who have won the trip to the nation ' s capital as a result of superior salesmanship in their chosen field — insurance. The telephone rings and, with delight, I hear the voice of Linda Rhyne — army nurse, who has just returned to the states after a tour of duty in the Far East. She brings joyful news of Jimmy Sears, world renowned traveler and lecturer, whom she has had the pleasure of seeing and hearing in China. My plane is delayed and hurrying to board a trans- continental airliner nearby are Peggy Powell and Shir- ley Kinton, government secretaries. The minutes pass and as my plane approaches I recognize a woman pilot. She is none other than Celia Midgette with Betty Buf- falo as stewardess. She tells me of seeing actress Marie Farmer having a manicure in the beauty salon of Juanita Revels in Paris. We stop for lunch in Richmond, Virginia — and are delighted to find Billy Mize as proprietor of a swanky restaurant. He tells us of seeing Sherrill Jones, big league ball-player, in a music store listening to a recording of Moments to Remember as sung by Mary Ellen Rowland, contralto. I return home (which is in Raleigh, N. C. ). On my way to the church where I am Director of Religious Education, I stop at Raleigh ' s Pharmaceutical Supply Company where the owner, well-known Kenneth Tal- ley is discussing a new drug for the treatment of mumps with the former Carolyn Smith, Margaret Page, and Alberta Clayton, whose children are in school together and are indeed having a swell time. Suddenly a veil is drawn over the future, shutting out the things that are to be and I don my cap and gown for the big moment of graduation, confident that only good shall follow all the days that are to be for the fair and talented members of the Class of ' 56. twzmmvm 26 KATHRYN ROWLAND Prophetess

CLASS HISTORY Listen, classmates, listen well to the words of your class historian. See our class flower unfold the events that made our class ' history and re- member our motto, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. In the bud of a long-stemmed white carnation with green curling leaves we see our freshman of- ficers: Nancy Keith, Kathryn Rowland, Alberta Clayton, and Emilie Tilley. These classmates, along with our Student Council Representative, Dorothy Adcock, helped us to become an intregal part of the school. The girls turned out in great number — all eager to make Coach Council ' s basketball squad. Mollie Ashworth, Mary Lynn Aiken, Nancy Keith, Carolyn Smith, Betty Baker, Priscilla Hol- loway, Emilie Tilley, Jean Wilson, Doris Jones, and Sonja Averette represented us well on the team. Bobby Dean made the boys ' team and wel- comed additions to the football team were Sher- rill Jones, Arthur Ray Talley, and Billy Mize. In baseball Mitchell Spivey, Arthur Ray Talley, and Sherrill Jones displayed their skills. Not only were we outstanding in sports, but also in a scholastic contest in which Sallie Carden won first place and Kathryn Rowland won second place. We were anxious to become members of our school ' s organizations. Clubs which boasted Freshman members were the F. H. A., F. T. A., F. F. A., and others. As the flower opens more and the small white petals sprout forth, we see our Sophomore Class officers, Jean Fish, Priscilla Holloway, Treva Og- burn, and Emilie Tilley capably leading us through our second year in high school We were represented in the Student Council by Mollie Ashworth and Sonja Averette. Many of our classmates took an active part in the newly formed band. Sonja Averette, Marie Sherian, and Dorothy Adcock exhibited their twirling ability as majorettes. Again, as in our freshman year Kathryn Rowland represented us well in the scholastic contest by winning second place. Katie Crabtree was winner of the first place honors. This year Frank Benton made the football team and Hubert Shearon made the base- ball team. The petals open wider revealing the swirling pattern that was our lives during our Junior year. Our class president, Kenneth Talley, had his hands full directing all of our projects. He was ably assisted by the other officers, Jerry Oliver, Shelby Davis, and Emilie Tilley. We were represented in the Student Council by Mol- lie Ashworth, Priscilla Holloway, and Nancy Keith. Our play, Cheaper by the Dozen, accented the talents of Nancy Keith, Frank Benton, Ann- ette Roundy, Ralph Crabtree, and others who helped to make it the success it was. We ' ll al- ways remember the antics in Williamsburg at 2:00 a.m.! Weren ' t the seniors surprised at the fine banquet we gave them! complete with ming trees, a dragon, Chinese coolies, and Madam But- terfly. This year over thirty of our class were initiated into the Beta Club. Boyd Collier made the football team and Waverly Fitzhugh made the baseball team. Class night and each junior helped to carry the traditional daisy chain. Marshals for this occasion were Harriet Davis, Katie Crabtree, Kathryn Rowland, Sallie Carden, Treva Ogburn, Betty Buffalo, Jimmy Sears, Ralph Crabtree, Hubert Shearon, Charles Sauls, and Frank Benton. Our flower has reached the extent of its growth and has burst into its full radiance. At long last we are Seniors — wearers of the long awaited and coveted F.S.H.S. class rings. Our officers are Sal- lie Carden, Priscilla Holloway, Shelby Davis, and Emilie Tilley. Several of our classma ' .es are mem- bers of the Student Council, they are Nancy Keith and Jimmy Sears, Mollie Ashworth, Bobby Dean, and Dorothy Adcock. Many members of our class are outstanding in organizational acti- vities. Serving in the capacity of president of va- rious clubs are Carolyn Smith, Arthur Ray Tal- ley, Jerry Oliver, Mitchell Spivey, and Ralph Crabtree. Nancy Keith is rendering much val- uable service as president of the Student Council. Linda gave generously of her time as Editor of the GREENBRIAR and as chief cheerleader. This year Hubert Shearon and Jackie Langdon made the basketball team. Jimmy Holloman, Na- than Woodlief, and Jimmy Sears were added to Coach Perry ' s football squad. Remember the homecoming game when Priscilla Holloway was crowned Queen and the senior attendants were Mary Lynn Aiken and Carolyn Smith. We are nearing the end of our high school days. It is with fondest memories and great as- pirations we are about to leave and enter into a new realm of life. Always will remain in our minds . . . the sweet memories of our activities as the Class of ' 56. —HARRIET DAVIS, Historian 28 liHJiijiliiiiiii wxmr mnum
