CLASS PROPHECY As the graduating class of 1953 slowly traveled up the ladder which led to success, we experienced many hardships and trials. As 1963 came into view and we finally reached the top, we realized that our struggles to achieve acclaim were worthwhile. As we looked back down the ladder, we saw our classmates starting out in their chosen careers. Richard James is now the owner of an airport with Tommy Fogleman as the instructor, teaching beautiful women the art of flying. Bud Lineberry, as usual, is still loafing around playing pro football. Chief-nurse of High Point Memorial Hospital is Joyce Creef. Her assistants are Patsy Isley, Betty Ann Burch, and Frances Albright. Betsy Kirkman and Greta Jones are on their way to Holly wood to visit their old flame, Joe Holt, the handsome movie idol of millions. The big-wheels of Graham seem to be Bill King, a big stock holder in his father’s mill; James Michels, the well-known optometrist; Cecil Moser, the owner of a chain of Home Appliance Stores. The former Betty Rudd works in a bank-a fact which makes it easy to support her husband, Charles Belcher, David Michael has returned from his first important jet mission, bombing Moscow. Thomas James and his co-worker, Becky Stuckey, have just com- pleted a new unabridged Geometry book. Jane Wrike’s talking ability has gotten her elected as Graham's first woman Mayor.

Phillip Davis, who took over his father’s business, is now the owner of Graham's swankiest restaurant, The Silver Coach. An unusual thing about Mary Lou Okey, now a voice teacher, is that all her pupils are males. Wonder what the interest is--the voice or the beauty? ? Professors Coy Thompson and Roger Webster are now directors of the Chemistry Department at Carolina. Creamy News: Tommy Ray, Harold Campbell, Glen Thomas, and Bobby Moore have more cows on their dairy farms than Carter has little liver pills.
