The ability of this class was proved by the splendid work done in the following years. At the beginning of the school year 1943-44 when the class was in the ninth grade, the first organized freshman class was formed. The class chose as its officers Tommy Diener, president; Lewis Evans, vice president; Ann Oakley, secretary; and Henry Turner, Treasurer. In the spring of that year the Freshman Class gave a big dance which has since become an annual affair. When this class became the Sophomore class, its members started joining the school clubs and organizations. A very elaborate Coronation Ball was given in the spring with a colonial garden as its theme. Several members of the class wore cos- tumes depicting the age of George Wash- ington. The officers of this class were Ann Beatty, president; Jack Minges, treasurer; Tommy Diener, secretary; and Henry Tur- ner, vice president. During the year when this class was the Junior Class, a very successful maga- zine sale was held. The annual Junior-Sen- ior dance was held during May with a sweetheart theme, and the first banquet since before the war was given for the Sen- iors. Two members of this class held ofices in the Student Council: Frances Aman was. secretary, and Junius Rose was treasurer. Marshals were chosen from the class during the spring in order to serve for the commencement exercises. They were Jim Haney, Ann Oakley, Peggy Reid, Joyce Ward, Billy White, Vilma Bland, Mary Dawn Drum, Frances Tucker, and Lina AVorthington with Martha Conway and Bernadine Wprsley serving as Chief Mar- shals. The officers of this class were Tommy Diener as president, Ann Oakley as vice president, Martha Conway as secretary, and Junius Rose as treasurer. Finally this class reached the long-look- ed-forward-to title of the Senior Class. The year 1946-1947 was truly a full year for each member of this class. The class chose as its officers Lewis Evans for president, Guy Evans for vice-president, Frances Aman for secretary, and Henry Turner for treas- urer. For the Christmas program the class decided to give Dickens ' Christmas Carol, which turned out to be a great sviccess. This was presented at the regular Christ- mas program for the public, and a] so for an assembly program in school. At the lat- ter program, baskets of food were present- ed by the class to Willie and Curtis, the janitors. Under the direction of Mrs. Howard Mims, the traditional Senior play was Spring Fever by Glenn Hughes, and a splendid cast was chosen for this three- act play. The students in the cast were Guy Evans, Sherod White, Billy White, Barbara Gardner, Betty Jo Wilson, Frances Aman, Eloise Tucker, Jim Haney, Muriel Shotwell, Lina Worthington, Billy Sutton, and Tommy Diener. A very competent annual staff was chosen by the class and through their hard work this annual has been published. The class chose Ann Beatty, editor; Dennis Cooke and Jimmy Lee, associate editors; Junius Rose, sports editor; Muriel Shot- well, art editor; Henry Turner, business manager; Tommy Diener, advertising man- ager; and Lewis Evans, circulation mana- ger. This year the class had two of its members as officers in the Student Council: Tommy Diener as president and Junius Rose as vice-president. With the Commencement exercises this class leaves Greenville High School, but it takes along with it the fond memories of a cherished life in high school. Twenty-hvo GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL PROPHECY Clarence and I sat peacefully in the main office of the PLRB Building- (former- ly the Empire State Building) in New York City. Today, June 1, 1975, was the day we were to leave in search of our scattered classmates, the GHS graduates of 1947. We already knew the whereabouts of a few classmates — Henry and Carolyn Tur- ner (formerly Carolyn Clark) now run the Waldorf. Henry won further glory when he took the National Typing Championship back in 1960, but his speed has waned now due to an old knuckle injury. At times Carolyn displays her wit as an entertainer on the Starlight Roof. Hogan Gaskins also made his fortune in the big city — in less than ten years he rose from a lowly garbage collector to the head of the garbage department. He gave up this profession, however, to become a star impersonator in television and radio. His most popular requests are for the Tommy Dorsey impersonation and the turned down mouth. Professor Bud Whitehurst, world re- nowned teacher and lecturer, is now em- ployed at Columbia University where he gives a lecture a week on The Finer Things of Life. In his spare time Bud drives for the Allen Cab Company, owned by Charles Allen. Other drivers for this famous company include Willie J. Lewis and Bobbie Saieed. In a recent newspaper interview Charles stated, I employ only the most careful drivers for my cabs. As we sat waiting, Clarence and I discussed our own occupations — Clarence, you know, is now maried to Lou, his childhood sweetheart from Ayden. His suc- cess in the insurance business is due partly to me, for it was I who advertised his firm, when it first began, in The KOTW (circu- lation 176) at absolutely no charge. At last the porter entered to inform us that our special helicopter was ready to leave, and bidding farewell to our New York friends we departed for Greenville. We were sure of our safety, for the pilot was the famed Herbert Corey, Pilot Extra- ordinary and winner of the Distinguished Landing Medal. In a matter of seconds we circled Jordon Field in Greenville. As we stepped from the helicopter Billy Jordon, owner and manager, pushed over to greet us. He informed us that quite a few mem- bers of the Class of 1947 still lived in Greenville and put us on a subway to Five Points. When we emerged we noticed a new building in the former location of the State Bank Building, called the Crusader Build- ing. Entering it we found Dave Clark, Ed- itor of The Daily Crusader, busily engaged in explaining to Managing Editor Alvin Taylor the intricacies of the paper ' s edi- torial policy — every article contains the words Look out there. Dave assured us that before his death he will have reformed the world through this policy. Frances Aman, his wife, was also on hand and told us another feature of the Crusader, its sparkling joke page, is written and edited by the renowned comedian, Doug Guthrie. The Faller is also engaged nightly as a messenger at Shotwell ' s Turkish Bath and Reducing School. Muriel Shotwell, the owner ,is unable to work at night because Tommy Diener is still courting her regu- larly. Incidentally, Tommy now owns the Peoples Bakery, makers of the famed Quadruple Loaf bread. Back on the street I purchased a news- paper and was amazed to find that Conrad Taylor had recently edged out Charles At- las on the world ' s most Perfectly Built Man. The judges awarded the title to Con- rad because of the shapely biceps in his legs. Conrad ' s manager, Mahlon Tucker, credited the success to the amazing new exercise known as LUSH. As a sidekick, Mahlon and Conrad run the famous night club. El Spuddilighto, which features Jane Broadwell, Faye Bullock, Helen Gurganus, Merline Jackson and Vilma Bland as night- ly entertainers. Melva Harris also helps out when she can leave her husband. As we crossed the street, who should we meet but Marcel Humber and his wife Bernadine Worsley Humber, world debaters who are rushing to catch a train for Wash- ington, D.C., where they will speak on Federalized Medicine. They stopped only long enough to inform us that Joyce Ward had recently married Jimmy Cozart, owner of Cozart ' s Auto Supply chain. Joyce, they said, stayed at home most of the time nursing her nine children. At the Pitt Theater, Owner Vick Nichols informed us that Betty Jo Wilson ' s latest picture, The Fat Woman, would soon be released. Co-starring in the production are Billy Sutton, Martha Kate Oakley and Lina Worthington. We arrived at the court house when a session was closing and thus got in a word with Judge Jim Lee before he departed for his home in Washington, N.C., a recent addition to the Greenville suburbs. Jimmy said that he had tried the case of Sherod White versus the State of North Carolina just the day before. It seems that Sherod had been dating Dot Evans (Dot Savage) lately and her husband, Guy Evans, had found out about it. Judge Lee, however, got Sherod off with only a hundred thousand dollar fine, which is mere chicken feed to this great oil magnet. Dot and Guy sepa- rated for a while after this incident, but (Continued on Page 24) GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty-three Prophecy — (Continued from Page 23) were soon rejoined as Guy found sleep- ing in his office at the Evans Supply Company very uncomfortable. In the mayor ' s office we found Lewis Evans talking to his secretary, Ruby Sta- ton. Lewis told us that he was doing quite well — embezzling almost five hundred a day from city funds. Ruby, however, gets half of this as hush money. Later we dis- covered that Lewis finally married our old classmate Ann Oakley, when Billie White gave up the fight to become a professional giggalo. As we were leaving the court house we bumped into Junius Rose, the new sup- erintendent of the city schools. Junius, who followed in the footsteps of his father, is now famous among North Carolina edu- cators for his slogan, Graduation is just over the hill. Junius said that Evelyn Dennis was now working on a sure cure for cancer, and was being assisted by Mary Rose Ed- wards. According to Junius, Jeanette God- ley and Dolores Little also became career nurses and are now practicing at Dr. Don- ald Smith ' s Clinic. At the old fair grounds we found the Barnum, Bailey and Jackson Circus in full swing. Manager Cletas C-Note Jackson showed us to a ringside seat and we were surprised to see Grham Baker doing flips around the center ring. Later, the famous precision riders — Viginia Ross, Lela Gay Bell, Edna Mills, and Dorothy Jean Ed- wards entered on beautiful yellow stallions. Jenny Briley and Mary Lou Braxton, beau- ties of the airways, presented their trap- eze act, but the star of the show was Peggy Reid, who drove her 38 Pontiac from a ten foot embankment at a speed of one hundred miles an hour. Miss Reid demon- strated amazing control in the face of al- most impossible driving conditions. We met the Williams girls, Frances and Jean, as we were leaving and they told us they had married brothers from Arkan- sas, and were now in Greenville to attend the premier of Burlesque in Seventy- Five, starring Betsy Flye and Barbara What ' ll you give me on this, Joe Gardner. Esther Corbette is torch singer for this production. It was such a lovely day that we de- cided to walk back to town. Passing the Minges Estate we noticed a familiar fem- inine face, which turned out to be Rose- mond Minges (Nicholson). We met her five children and looked over her new Cadillac Convertible (the seventh this year). Rose- mond invited us to a supper party at which she was entertaining Mrs. James Montague (Sarah Kirkpatrick), Mrs. Earl Morgan (Jean Tripp), and Mrs. Ken Evans (O ' Neal Roebuck), but we refused. At the opera house we attended a con- cert presented by Jim Haney and his All Girl Orchestra, which contained such out- standing performers as Lorraine Smith and Katherine Taylor, Frances Tucker and Marion Brown. In a brief conversation with Conductor Haney after the concert, we dis- covered that Jane Tyson and Christine Trippe had married ex-Marines and moved to Texas, that Eleanor Clark was now entertaining in a Holly- wood night club, and that Jean McGowan was following in the steps of Doris Duke as a tobacco heiress. Our last stop was at East Carolina Teachers University where ws spoke to President Dennis Cooke. Dennis married his former girl friend, and has settled down to a calm ( ? ) life. Also on the ECTC faculty are Professor Martha Conway, famed for the Conway Theorem of Rela- tivity, and Beverly Neilson, Professor of Religion. These educators informed us that Louise Bizzell and Lucille Hathaway had become misisonaries in Lower Mongolia. Snapping on our radio, we heard the announcing voice of John Mayo, manager of the local radio station. We also found out that Joyce Duke threw all tobacco aside (namely John Howard) to marry her secret flame all these years, Junius Rose. Ann Beatty has become the wife of the present North Carolina governor. Leaving Greenville, Pilot Corey advised that we take the short route back to New York — the one through Ujiji. Clarence learned that Mary Dawn Drum was doing well as President of the Ujijian Sulks of Lower Africa, a women ' s organization she had begun ten years earlier. Mary Emma Hudson, Mary Lee Abee, Mildred Jones, and Helen Nelson all rose through the ranks and became Sulks First Class before resigning for a better occupation. Mary Emma married the President of Oak Ridge Institute, Mary Lee and Mildred married their old Washington boy friends, and Hel- en has become first French hornist in the African Philharmonic Orchestra. Taking to the sky once more we settled in our seats peacefully, for we know, at last the fate of the Class of 1947. GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty -four PREVARICATOR standing- on the steps of The Academy of Fun and Frolic (once known as Green- ville High School) a student was approach- ed one day by a stranger. Pardon me, said the stranger, but I ' ve heard much about your fine school and I was wondering if you would show me around. Sure, answered the student. I ' ve got thirty minutes before my next class be- gins. ; 1 ] You mean you have thirty minutes between classes? asked the stranger. Why, of course, answered the stu- dent. Our classes are ten minutes long and we need that time to let what we learn during class sink in. The teachers, by the way, are not allowed to assign homework if it will interfere in any way with the extra curricular activities of the students. In fact if more than twenty students are absent in any one day from the entire school, homework cannot be assigned at all; nor can anything new be taken up. This is in keeping with the new policy of the school. It was decided that if twenty stu- dents were absent teachers would have to teach the lesson over any way so why not, it was reasoned, wait and teach it only once. This policy was endorsed by st.udents and teachers alike. Well, that sounds logical, said the stranger. But let ' s go inside and see the building. With that the two entered the build- ing and proceeded down the hall until they came to a classroom. The stranger blinked in amazement. Before him was the most luxurious class- room he had ever seen. The desks were plush covered easy chairs. In the back of tha room was a loudspeaker which played dreamy music. That ' s for the benefit of the students who do not wish to study, said the student guide. One of the most important rules of the school now is: If a student does not want to study DO NOT FORCE HIM. The office has explained that such action could build up a barrier in the students ' mind (this is meant for the lucky few who have a mind) against studying. In an unofficial poll it was determined that 99.999 percent of the students spend their time listening to the loudspeaker. Well, it seems that it was ' c good idea to install these speakers, said the stranger. Oh, that ' s not all, answered the stu- dent. A dance band plays continuously during the school day in the auditorium for the benefit of the students who had rather spend their time dancing rather than in the classroom. Another interesting feature of our renovated classrooms is the complete lack of pencil sharpeners. It seems that the students never brought pencils to school anyway so the school board decided that there was no need to spend money to install pencil sharpeners. But let ' s go on. There is more to see. So on the two went. What ' s that door over there? ' ' asked the stranger. Oh, that is the door to the under- ground passage, said the student. The passage leads to a new twenty-four story AFF publication building. All the great publications of The Academy of P ' un and Frolic are published there. But the one we are most proud of is that great prize winning daily news sheet The Morning Announcements. It is edited by the distinguished journalist, Mr. 0. E. Dowd, and published daily. It has won national recognition for its accuracy and superb journalistic form. I see, said the stranger. And what is the door next to it? The one that big fellow just went through. That is the door to the athletic dress- ing room and the big guy is our star foot- ball player. He kindly consented to come to old AFF when the Athletic Council of- fered him a twenty room house, four cars and a chauffeur, five servants and a salary of ten thousand dollars a season, answer- ed the student. The administration decid- ed that if we were to have a modern school we might as well have big-time football. But here is our pride and joy. It ' s one of our latest improvements — a home- work preparer. It seems that some parents wanted the faculty to continue giving home- work. So, naturally, the only way the school board could satisfy the parents and still continue its new policy of as little homework as possible was to install this ingenius machine. Now everybody ' s happy. The teachers are required to put the an- swers into the machine each day and when a blank sheet of paper is inserted and the indicater set on the subject desired the machine will, by electronics, print both the problem and the answers on the sheet. The machine will print as many as forty sheets at one time which is as large as any one class. Now over here we have — say, where are you going? I ' m going to enroll in this school, said the stranger. Why should I waste my time in the cruel world when I can enjoy life here? You ' ve got me there, answered the student. Why should you? And so it happened that The Academy of Fun and Frolic gained a new pupil. GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL Twenty- five LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT COOKE AND LEE Attorneys Attempting Law Know all men by these presents; that we, the Senior Class of 1947 of Greenville High School, in order to form a more use- less inscription, and being forced by our superiors to vacate our station, do here and now declare our last will and testa- ment in as brilliant a manner as may be expected of said Seniors.

They organized this year for the ' first time under Bill Greene, coach, and Bill Kittrell, assistant coach. The only qualifications for a midget, other than being a good sportsman, is that he has to weigh 110 pounds ' or less and be 13 years old or under. The Mighty Mites have proved themselves to be worthy football material and we are sure that they will mean much to our future football teams.
