At last we were in high school. Under the experienced hand of Mrs. Bradley we got the ball rolling by electing our class president, Sallie Mewborn. When basketball season arrived, we contributed Connie, Martha, Linda K., Wilma, Marvina, Emily, Sallie, Esther, and Gilbert to the teams. To boast the morales of the teams, Nancy, Sallie, and Marguerite made the cheer- leading squad. The year went by quickly and we ended it by taking a trip to Whichard's Beach. At commencement we were represented by marshals--Emily and Wilma. Emily also received the Home Economics Award. 9 'Vie ,y Sm' 1,6 ..,.,,,. Q Kaus- WILLIAM HARVEY CANNON F. F.

When spring came around and baseball gloves came out Allan Stokes, Milton Adams and Larry Benson filled them. Looking ahead into the future and seeing a great need for money we sold iris bulbs. Wilma Patrick and Emily Nelson were our marshals. Thus an eventful year under the guidance of Mrs. Bradley ended. Our summer vacation went by quickly and at last we were jolly juniors. Again we had the capable guidance of Mrs. Bradley and as class officers, Sallie, President, Emily, Sec- retary, Vice President, David, Treasurer, Larrygand Report- er,Wilma. I l 1 5.

Our first business ventures turned out to be successes - theplay, OFF THE TRACK, magazine sale and Womanless Wedding. A Beta Club was established in our school. Many of the juniors were charter members. The theme for our Junior- Senior was Southern Plantation. We thought the gym looked like a work of art. Again at gradua- tion Emily Nelson and Wilma Patrick were our marshals. In August 1958 we officially became the Senior Class oi Grifton High School.

With the coming of fall, basketball season began. Esther Coward and Emily Nelson were chosen team Co-Captains. Nancy Smith was Chief Cheerleader. In order to make a dream trip to New Yorka reality, the seniors became cotton pickers , actors and actresses,and peddlers of candy, foun- tainpens , cake and ham chances. The crowning social event of the year was the Junior-Senior. Finally on May 25 came the long awaited day, graduation and thus ended our memo- rable high school days. I4 fix 'VUWQQ 'K '?

Come on, Wilma, that means us. Here is our mis- sile, the green and white one. Here we go, Linda. Tighten your belt. You know Pat Matthews is piloting this machine, today. Yes, I know, and it won't take her long to get to Earth, I can hardly wait to get back and see everybody. Me, too. I'm so glad we planned this reunion 10 years ago, the night we graduated. Do you think everyone will be there? Well, I've heard from just about everyone. I-Iurry! Tell me everything. Let's see. Hilda Adams is operating the Grifton Wig Salon.I have an appointment with her as soon as we land to get one of her famous green periwigs. Betty Lou Foster runs a nursery in Coxville. She keeps the children for people who work at C. J. Wiley's Tasty Tip Top Toothpick factory. Autry Tripp is chief bookkeeper there. What about Joanne? What's become of her? She went to Rocky Mount to take nurses training, and liked it so well she now is specializing in Psychiatric Nursing. Oh, you don'thave to tell me about Sallie Mewborn. I saw her on T. V. last night on her own show. I know you won't believe it, but Pat Hart is going to makea speech at the reunion. She now teaches public speaking at Mt. Olive College. You won't believe this either. Ted Garris became interested in athletics after he left Grifton and now teach- es wrestling and boxing. Alice Faye Dixon is now Director of Religious Ac- tivities of the Christian Church in Wilson. Maxie Wiley went to Hollywood and has become the greatest director since Cecil B. DeMille. He directed William Harvey Cannon's new play, 'The Yellow House Blues.' They're both in Grifton for this week. I understand the center of the world of fashion is no longer in Paris but New York. The House of Smythe dictates todays styles and Nancy does the designing. Martha Hart is now head of the Home Economics Department for the state of North Carolina. She has completely revolutionized the Home Economics course. Do you remember what a stir there was over ed- ucation the year we graduated? Emily was appointed by the governor to recommend changes. Well, she did. You wouldn't recognize the curriculum now. I do want to see Allan Stokes. I believe he got a medal last year for being the patrolman to arrest the mostpeople for speeding. He now has the honor of driv- ing a red patrol car. Sylvia Williams has been in Florida for the past 10 years. She's 'made a killing' on tourists while running a motel. Do you remember how good William Miller was at writing speeches in school? Well, I hear that he now writes for Jack Benny. And Larry Benson always was interested in science. Now he's a world figure ---- he won the Nobel Prize last year in Physics. David Jackson just graduated from Missile Corps and is now in charge of the new missile base at Grifton. What did become of Esther Hill Coward? Oh, she's still coaching basketball. She turns out a champion team every year. Ihear she just won the state tournament. Linda Koon went in training for a nurse and now is traveling in Europe as companion to some rich old lady. I hope she gets back in time for the banquet. Sybil Adams, Addie Westbrook, June Haddock, and Frances Coles all got married the day after graduation but they have not been content with being mere house- wives. Sybil went to college and is now teaching the third grade at Hanrahan. June's husband now owns the com- pany he used to drive trucks for and June keeps books for him. Frances became the first woman on tue police force in Grifton and Addie is a radio announcer at station G- A-B-B. Well, I believe that takes care of everyone except Alice Pridgen. She is now in charge of the cafeteria at DuPont. She is planning the banquet for us tonight. Look! We're here already! There is good ole Grifton High. My, it looks dif- ferent. I guess it's because we're used to Mars. All off for Grifton, North Carolina, U.S.A., Earth. Linda Chauncey and Wilma Patrick last Will And Ccstamvul We, the Senior Class of Grifton High School of the session of 1958-59, being of sound mind but know- ing that the glory of being Seniors must soon pass away, and desiring to make a discriminating disposal of our earthlypossessions, and toperpetuate some of the brilliant ideas that have filtered into our minds during the days of toil and study here, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament.

We had a busy schedule this year in- cluding a Christmas Concert, a Spring Con- cert, a Choral Clinic at East Carolina College and performances at various school functions. .,. . A Y-Q A H-A .1 .-... The Bert Johnson Chapter of the Future Teach- ers of America was organized at Grifton this year fri M.

The club was named in honor of one of Grifton's most beloved teachers, Miss Bertha Johnson. The following goals were established: 1. To help the student measure his own ability and interests in relation to the opportunities and responsibilities in teaching. 2. To help guide only high quality individuals into the profession, aid them in the develop- ment of ideas, acquaint them with the im- portance of good schools, assist them in finding their own fields of interest, and fol- low them with interest through the college of their choice into a career of teaching.
