Class Prophecy It was July 1960 and as I traveled home for a two weeks’ vacation, I chanced to pick up a newspaper. Thumbing through the pages, I was surprised to see that Joyce Kincaid, popular Conover Model, had been chosen the “Model of the Year.” Further on I noticed that Marie Phillips was now Arthur Murray’s tap dancing instructor. Seeing that these two cheerleaders of former school days had obtained such success in life, I wondered where the other Seniors of 1950 could be. As soon as I reached home, I went over to the school where I learned Anna Brooks and Joe Billy Roper were Physical Education Instructors. Imagine my surprise when I saw Charles Tate sitting behind the principal's desk! As we talked over old times, Carolyn Denney remarked that many old students now were teaching here. Betty Ann LaFevers was now the commercial teacher, Hazel Lowman, the physics teacher, and Jean Orders, the history teacher. We began talking about sports and I told him that Jimmy Graham was Coach Wilson’s new assistant at the University of North Carolina. Our con- versation also revealed that Walter Giles was now a big alumnus of Carolina, and that Bill Perkins was recently named Manager of The Brooklyn Dodgers—after being their star catcher for seven years. We were looking over the records and I learned that most of the Seniors of ‘50 had gone into business. Bill Fredrickson had just opened up a used car lot. Gorman Orders was manager of the Morganton Food Store; Paul Browning was his assistant. Wayne Beck, now married to Joyce Wachob, owned the Box- wood; Nancy Scott was operating it for him. Ralph White, owner of the Burke Transit, presented an award to Raymond Brittain and Bobby Dale for faithful service recently. Tommy Rich, Gorman Pitts, and Robert Tay- lor bought out the Dixie Supper Club and made it one of the outstanding “Nite Spots” in this area. Finding that Joyce Poteat was the new Publisher of the News Herald, I glanced through the tabloid, and saw that Mariana Perkins and Maxine Roper, co-owners of the Carolina 5 10¢ Store, were advertising a sale to end all sales. There was also an ad for Morrison’s Beauty Shoppe; Dorothy Led- ford, Shirley McGalliard, and Doris Crawley were her trusted operators. Also, Joe Carswell was named president of the Burke County Beagle Club. Thanking Principal Tate and bidding all my friends there goodbye, I hurried home to rest before returning to my job as Publicity Director for The University of Chapel Hill.
