The good times and the bad, the pleas- ures of tasks well done, the fellowship in studies and play, the competition on athletic fields—all of these have found a place in our Annual. We hope that each of you, in future years, will find this WAG a joyful part of the memories of by-gone days. af 8 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS MOTTO “The past forever gone, The future still our own.” FLOWER Rose COLORS Red and White MASCOTS Millicent Basden Don Longest Connie M.

Mothers had prepared us for the big day with our best clothes and shiny faces, but our first look at the huge monster, school, reduced many of us to tears. By the time we reached the second and third grades we were old-timers, with a slightly superior attitude. Most of the boys and some of the girls boasted scratches and bruises from fights and tree-climbing. Oh, we were a tough bunch then! Studies weighed heavily upon us in the fourth grade, and we spent some time over the three R’s, especially ’rithmetic. The boys tried their hardest to look and act like little monsters; and the girls, in their bobbed hair, curls, or pig-tails, simply ignored the silly things. Powdered wigs and hoop skirts, knee- pants and lipstick were the sissy accom- paniments to the Minuet which we so daintily danced for a chapel program in the fifth grade. We painted great ‘‘master- pieces,” named the forty-eight states, re- cited jingles about Columbus sailing the ocean blue, and played softball. We were terribly mean in the sixth grade and often went for weeks at a time without a recess because of our talkative habits. We made a rule about hair-combing in class and held a mock trial if anyone was reported for this serious offense. The seventh and eighth grades were “Junior High,” and we felt we were grown up. We danced the Highland Fling until our legs ached for one May Day, and did acrobatics, crowned with a most wonder- ful pyramid, for the next May Day pro- gram. We showed off. We were marvelous! sof 8 18 99 Freshmen!! At the sight of all those people still above us, our class of eighty- nine — including dees newcomers, June Carol Jobe, Ann Woods, and Patricia Tysor — felt a little less brave and very much more confused. Slowly we began to feel at home and to enter with enthusiasm the classes and sports, the fun and frolics of these “High Schoolers.” Sophomores!! We settled down in earn- est to the routine of changing classes, writ- ing themes, reciting Latin, and in general having the time of our lives. We wel- comed Peggy Gibson and Betty Ann Eury into the class, began the hero worship of those handsome football players, and looked a bit enviously at the wonderful Seniors. Juniors!! Threading our way slowly through the maze of magazine- -selling, “Three Days of Gracie,” winning football, and the miraculous Junior-Senior banquet, we seemed to live in a daze, with a year Passing in just no time at all. New arrivals were Mary Ann Chandler, Betty Lou Fincher, and Hattie Prater. Seniors!!| Bow low when you say that wonderful word. We are on top of the world. We have class rings, plans for a Washington trip, and annual pictures; and everyone stands when we enter Assembly. Now the twenty-five of us who have spent all our school days at Graham High and the forty-two who have joined us along the way, including Senior arrivals Marvin Wallace, Marvin Mann, and Billy Han- ford, are beginning a new chapter in our life just as the world begins a new half- century. May the dreams in our hearts come true as we remember, ‘““The future, 1°? still our own! SARA KaTE Davis Historian ye E, the graduating class of Graham High School, in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Fifty, being in a peaceful and undisturbed state of mind, do hereby give and bequeath and devise all our worldly goods and possessions as seemeth wise and fitting in our judgment in this our Last Will and Testament. To our School we leave our appreciation for the knowledge we have acquired and for the pleasures we have enjoyed during our twelve-year period there. To the Faculty we leave our undying gratitude for the time and patience they have expended. To the Student Body we leave our love for Graham High and the sincere hope that the future students may discover within its walls as many happy moments as we remember. Jeneverette Wilson wills her Biggest Flirt Superlative to Catherine Moore. Mary Ella Martin’s vocal talent is left to Betty Jo Shepherd. Joe Linens leaves his love for French to Bobby Lee Moser. Bettie Bradshaw just leaves. Mildred Bradshaw wills her love for Graham High School to the Student Body. Sara Jane Shouse’s dancing ability is willed to Martha Browning. Bill Sizemore leaves his long legs to Benny Johnston. Rudolph Mullins wills his black hair to Dick Vestal. Harlin Gillespie bequeaths his freckles to Lee Ivey. Nancy Moser’s smiling face and good disposition are willed to Betsy Whittemore. Edna Jones leaves her feeble appetite to Peggy Jeffreys. Harry Cornell bestows his athletic ability to Dan Rader. Ann Woods leaves her talking habit to Trilby Pugh. Betty Jean Guthrie wills her geometry book to Pete Core. Vera Mae Lindley’s Good Citizen title is left to Ann Shoffner. 2 a Clara Faye Pugh wills her love for studying to Jack King. Hadley Ivey’s Jeepster is left to Paul Bunn. Peggie Cooper leaves her rings to Ernestine Blackwood. James McPherson leaves his basketball ability to the Chandler twins. Billy Mercer wills his saxophone to Harry James. Patricia DurHAM, Testatrix Prophecy N THIS YEAR of atomic inventions a great ae physicist has invented a new time machine which will push up the time until the year 1960. In this way we will be able to take a look at what our class of 1950 is doing. Hadley Holt Ivey, the Burlington Mills tycoon, is being hen-pecked by his wife, Mrs. Edna Ivey. William Mercer still hasn’t decided which it will be, Marie Burke or Okey. Mrs. Monnie Loy Kimrey is on her way out to Hollywood to visit her hus- band, Joe Kimrey, the handsome movie idol of millions. Mary Ella Martin is already out there singing with the Joe Linens band, with Peggy Mercer as his star pianist. Marvin Mann has retired since he won a million dollars on a quiz program. Harry Cornell is now head football coach at Cornell University, with Connie Adams as assistant coach. Doris Pugh, Cherry Thomas, Esther Thomp- son, Hilda Mooneyham, Hattie Prater, and Jene- verette Wilson have become beautiful nurses. Bill Sizemore and Gerald Lewis have gone into the lumber business together and now operate the big- gest lumber company in the state. Clara Faye Pugh and Vera Mae Lindley are helping Una Faye Rob- ertson to compete with the Stork Club in the night club business. Back at G. H. S. it seems as if Dott Qualls has got Mrs. Reeves’ job as school secretary. Marvin Wallace runs one of the biggest newspapers in the South, with Jerry Sharpe as his ace reporter. Now we see Mrs. Peggy Cooper, Mrs, Betty Mae Collins, Mrs. Annie Faye Campbell, and Mrs. June Carol McIntyre leaving Jackie King’s beauty shop and heading for Barham’s French Dress Shop. To keep law and order, Burleigh Wilson is our chief of police Bill Han- ford owns the largest farm in the country. Boyd Andrews is vice-president of Rae Qualls’ with Bill Blackwelder his desk sergeant. hosiery mill. Every Sunday morning you can see cartoons in the funny papers which are drawn by Bettie Bradshaw. Mary Ann Chandler is a fashion designer with Sara Jane Shouse as her model. There is a new Buick company in Graham owned by Nancy Moser. Ann Russell has become a psychi- atrist with Rudolph Mullins as a regular client. Don Brummitt now runs A. P., with Peggy Alli- Margaret Long has Lea ding son doing the brain work. become a famous authority on cooking. the state’s girl scouts is Sara Kate Davis. Pat Durham has become a great voice teacher and is giving lessons to the daughter of the President of the U.S. A. At the head of the County Welfare Department is Mildred Bradshaw. High scorer for the Philadelphia Eagles basketball team this year is James McPherson. Ann Woods’ talking ability has gotten her elected state senator. Harlin Gilles- pie has moved out West and is “punching” cows. Loby Layton, co-starring with Christine Madden, just finished her new production, “Stars in Her Hair.” Geraldine Shepherd married Donald Denny and they seem to be very happy. Mrs. Ruth (Crow) Andrews has taken up the profession of her husband — teaching. Betty Lou Holt and Billie J. Johnson have opened a soda shop which is called “Killjoy.” Longest Shoe Shop is now partly owned by Betty Guthrie. Fayne Welch always liked children, so now she runs a nursery. Margaret Wilson and Peggy Willard joined the Wacs, and both are now generals. Polly Core finally married Jack Cathey and they are now living happily off her pay. The former Betty Fincher works in a bank —a fact which makes it easy to support her husband. Betty Ann Eury has become America’s greatest woman auto racer. The former Pat Tysor isn’t doing much of anything because she married a multi-millionaire. And now, last but not least, Altavista Albright and Shirley Fowler have become teachers, a fact which is mighty hard to believe. Just as fast as we left 1950 we return, and I sincerely hope that these or better things will hap- pen to the wonderful class of 1950. GERALD LEwIs Prophet Class Poem Henceforth our hearts shall sigh no more, For toilsome days of school are o’er; Comes soon the time that we must part, With school day memories in each heart. Reverent Seniors now we stand, Eager to succeed; we know we can, For Senior hopes we’ve now attained; Our strongest efforts weren’t in vain. But fondly our thoughts will return, For old friendships we'll sadly yearn; With faith and love our hearts have grown, Through the happiest years we’ve ever known. We'll wish the wheels of time could turn, That once more we may live and learn, As hair grows grey and steps grow slow, As later on through life we go. And so farewell to classmates dear, We'll remember each and every year; Our school days past, forever gone, We face the future, now our own.

Since that humble beginning, this Company has grown during the past quarter-century until it is now one of the world’s largest producers of rayon fabrics. Its operations have spread to five states and four foreign countries. The list of Bur-Mil textile products now includes women’s woven and knit outerwear and under- wear fabrics, men’s wear fabrics, decorative fabrics, cotton piece goods, yarns, women’s and men’s hosiery, industrial and transportation fabrics, and ribbons. Despite this growth and expansion, Burlington Mills is proud to point out that the Burlington area—the birthplace of the Company — still embraces its largest concentration of plants, people and investment. There are 15 Bur-Mil manufacturing plants or service units in Burling- ton and Alamance County employing over 4,000 people with an annual payroll of over $11,000,000. Burlington Mills is proud to be a part of the great community of Burlington. It appreciates the fine cooperation and loyal support it has received. It is equally proud of its many employees who join with other good citizens in the civic, educational and religious activities of — city and county.
