Pll0PllllllY Tonight as I watch the shining heavens, my classmates seem closer to me than ever before. Each one is dear to me, almost as dear as the twinkling stars above in their magnificent patterns. A horoscope of my friends is being unveiled to me. A distant star grows brighter as their lives are disclosed: Verna Grey Stancil and Delano O'Neal are on their way by plane to New York for a public ap- pearance as Metropolitan Opera stars. These two life-long friends met after six years of separation. Tommy Narron, owning all the land around Moore's School, is a very successful farmer. Jackie Johnson, having furthered her nursing career, iust successfully completed a serious brain opera- tion. She is truly a brilliant surgeon. Eleanor O'Neal was recently selected by the new North Carolina state governor, Cremo Narron, as his private secretary. Billy Barfield, though he hasn't yet discovered the gold mine of his dreams, is married to a pretty girl and raises money trees in his spare time, Ann Godwin, now Mrs. Robert Edgerton, is Superintendent of Nurses at the Carolina General Hospital in Wilson. Glenn Edgerton and his wife, the former Helen Pope, reside in Greenville. Helen is an interior dec- orator while Glen is professor of Eastern Carolina Teacher's College. J Franklin Barham is part owner of Thurston Motor Lines in Wilson where he works. Faintly l see Myrtha Atkinsonsin Hollywood. This star is so bright that no more of her life is re- vealed to me. Grace Peele has been working at the Branch Bank in Wilson, but is now married to the secret beau she had while going to Glendale High. They have a three-pound baby boy. Geraldine Johnson married Frank Boykin within a week after she finished school. They have twins, a boy and a girl, and Geraldine really enjoys her iob of housekeeping. lt seems there is another nurse from our class. Retha Hicks is very outstanding at the Woodard Her- ring Hospital in Wilson and has a wonderful time making eyes at the young doctors. The steady of our class, Martha Creech and James Sullivan, have finally become engaged. They plan to be married soon and live on a farm. Glen Creech is still looking for the girl who will support him. The soft shining of the stars brings to me a beautiful sight-candle-light and silver-as the former Betty Howell celebrates her wedding anniversary. Coach for the girls basketball team at the Women's College in Greenboro is Edith Renfrow. Never before have they had such a sweet director. Practicing law in his home as well as in his office, Donnie Boykin and his wife Sara Lee live in Durham and have two little boys who are iust like their dad. Class Prophet NANCY WALL

CLASS HI 'l'llliY Our class history began in T939. Some of us entered school at Glendale and the others at Chapel. As we approached this unknown world, all of us were frightened and doubtful as to what the future would hold for us. Little did we know what changes in our life would take place in these twelve years that we. were beginning. The year we enjoyed most in grammar school was the seventh grade. The graduates of Chapel joined the students of Glendale where they were one class for the first time. lt was very much fun getting ac- quainted with each other and beginning friendships that would always be remembered. Our first year in high school! lt seems that this year was very important. After we were accustomed to the new routine of study, we had three class parties at the homes of Adele Narron, Martha Creech and Zelma Ree Holland respectively. The group that started in the first grade can hardly be recognized. The wear and tear of high school had now been accepted along with the new and different studies, among these sophomore subjects are algebra and biology. ln this grade we continued having class parties. These delightful events took place at the homes of Betty Howell and Ann Godwin. The junior year was a very busy and exciting one. As usual, we sold magazines, ran an ice cream bar, and sponsored the Sauline Players. ln April the .lunior-Senior Banquet was held at the Home Dem- onstration club-house after careful planning by the juniors and their homeroom instructor, Mrs. Ray Boyette. Our grade mothers, Mrs. Wade Godwin and Mrs. lnez Franklin, gave us a Thanksgiving party and a Christmas party in our class room. The class this year didn't have a class party, but instead, together with our grade mothers we had a weiner roast at the Sunset Recreation Park in Wilson which all of us enjoyed very much. Later in April we ordered our class rings, thus ending our activities for the preceding year. We finally forced the class of '50 to graduate so that we could become Seniors. We were proud of our class that year. Being a Senior brought on new responsibilities, duties, and fun. At the beginning of our last year at Glendale we joyously received our class rings and elected the annual staff, who worked hard to carry on and produce a second annual. Some of us worked on the school paper. We also elected our mascots and gave the Senior Play. Now the last days at Glendale are at hand. We recall the pleasant memories and the changes that the years have brought and will cherish them as we depart into tomorrow years. Through work and through trials we, the class of '51, have at lcfst obtained our objective. We have emerged triumphant in the end over all homework and examinations. The falls of the careless have not caught us, though escapes from such dangers have been many and narrow. Historian ELEANOR O NEAL
