CLASS HISTORY As we stop to think that this is the last year of our high school career, we realize that the time has really been very short. Crowded into the four short years are many happy experiences that I know all of us will always remember. In 1947 we entered Garner High School as eighth graders. We came from Vance, Auburn, and Garner. We were not considered high school students, but we enjoyed getting acquainted with the school and the many activities that are carried on in it. Mrs. McBryde and Mrs. Stevens were our teachers.i Then came our freshman year. We were then really high school students. We all enjoyed changing classes for the first time. Mrs. Price and Miss McLurd were our homeroom teachers. We elected Thelma Beasley as our class president. The social high- light of the year was a wiener roast at Pullen Park. The following fall, when school started, we were happy to be sophomores. We wel- comed Mrs. Couch and Mrs. Boggs as our homeroom teachers. We chose Bobby Henley as our class president. The social events of the year were a picnic at Pullen Park and a party in the gymnasium. The next year was our junior year during which we had many exciting and interest- ing adventures. Mrs. Boggs and Mrs. Hewett were our homeroom teachers. We chose jackie Sauls as our president. Soon after school began, we chose our class colors and flower. The colors are green and white, and the flower is the white rose. In October we gave a Hallowe'en carnival in the gymnasium. In April we presented our junior- Senior Banquet. We put a great deal of hard work on it, and it was very successful. We want to thank Mrs. Hewett, Mrs. Boggs, and Mrs. Broughton for helping us with the banquet. We were the first class to give a banquet in the new cafeteria. In March of this year we got our class rings. We were very pleased with them. Too, we went to the Annual Career Day, which was held in Raleigh. We learned many things that will help us in choosing our careers. This same year many of the members of the class took a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. Those who went saw many interesting and historical places. Finally we have become seniors. This is the busiest and most important year of all. The class officers are as follows: president-Billy Hocutt, vice president-Carolyn Hines, secretary-Barbara Ellington, treasurer-Henry Trevathan. During this year we have sold magazine subscriptions and advertisements to get money for our annual and other projects. We have been very fortunate to have Mrs. Banks as our senior sponsor. We wish to thank her for the valuable aid she rendered us in helping with the annual, senior play, class night exercises and commencement. Her sound advice and consideration have been an inspiration for us to work for the better things of life. We want to thank our principal and all the teachers for encouraging and helping us in every way they could as we struggled through our subjects. Without their help we could nothave reached this great height.

Each of us has learned a great deal in the years spent at dear old Garner High, and although some of us will not admit it now, I know that in future years we shall look back on the days spent here and remember them as the happiest days of our life. JUNE BEASLEY Hiriorian PROPHECY At the end of a hectic week of exams, I made preparations for a bit of much needed relaxation. After chasing brief forms until I was dizzy, I decided to count sheep. I lay very still for a while-four hundred seventy-seven, four hundred seven . . . was that lamb really motioning for me to join him? Yes, he must be, so I followed him to the outskirts of Raleigh, ten years hence. As I approached the business district, I noticed the city was awakening to its daily bustle. I heard a man shouting as I came to the courthouse, so I went in to see what was causing the commotion. The law firm of Buffaloe and Henley was pleading the case of Betty Best, a singer at El Socco, whose third husband was suing her for divorce on the grounds that she was not able to cook like Mama. Taking notes on the case was none other than Billy Hocutt, court stenographer. I Passing the Register of Deeds' office, I noticed Paul Johnson recording a deed for a Eve hundred-acre estate inherited by Frances Archer from her rich uncle. As I entered the post office, I met three very efficient looking secretaries-Phyllis Hunt, Bessie Atkinson, and Josephine Medlin--each carrying her boss's mail. They informed me that Cleo Jones is teaching home economics at Garner High School. Doris Jackson also is there, teaching mathematics, and Faydene Hayes is working in the primary grades. Janice Penny is senior class sponsor at Wendell. I came by the Cradle Shop and saw two attractive young matrons window shopping. I realized they were the former Jackie Sauls and Joan Holder. lt seems that shortly after graduating from high school, they started in their scientific career, chasing mole- cules, but a few years later both of them settled down in Knightdale. They were eager to tell me that Bonnie Wall is married to a former football star from State College and is now living sin California. They added that Norma Clark is the hopeful secretary to a tobacco execiitive in Durham. I was glad to learn that Reverend and Mrs. Charles Pittard, the former Barbara Ellington, are living in Richmond, where he is pastor of the First Baptist Church. Joe Ann Kelly is in charge of Religious Education there. I began to have that peculiar feeling that someone was watching me, and when I turned around, I recognized a policeman as Henry Trevathan. Over a cup of coffee we discussed the latest happenings concerning our classmates. Barbara Beasley is the wife of a local banker and has a lovely home in Country Club Hills. Bobby Pollard is teaching art at Columbia University. Earl Medlin is working with Southern Bell Tele- phone Company as maintenance supervisor. Lois Hicks is an operator with the same company. Henry went back on duty, and I made my way toward a department store, for I had a purchase to make, however as I reached the bank, I ran into Rowan Coates and Marie Parish, who are private secretaries to two prominent lawyers. From them I learned that Bessie Bridges. is assistant buyer for a large local department store. They went on to tell me that Joyce Barwick and Ruth Franks are employed at the North Carolina Department of Revenue. Stanley Rowland and Charles Hunt are still pursuing a naval career and are now at Norfolk, Virginia. Edna Earle Ray and Addie Hicks are receptionists for two painless dentists.
