SENIOR CLASS HISTCDRY ln gathering my material for writing the official history of this class, l have decided not to give a ,formal and dry history, but only to mention some of the out- standing events ot our school days. Some of us have been together since our primary days. We have found school lite not always a bed of roses, but we have had a pleasant time. We are the first to graduate from Hasty under the twelve year school plan and we are happy because we have had the opportunity to be together for another year. Our home room teachers for the last four years were: Freshman, Mr. Hilton and Miss Bryan lthe class was so large it was divided into two sectionsl g Sophomore, Miss Bryan, junior, Mrs. Vvfhitesellg and thenfthis year when we were all looked up ,to as Dignified Seniors and Mrs. Perry was our Home room teacher and class advisori The class presidents for the last four years werei Freshman, Donnie Peace and Billy Kennedy, Sophomore, Marguerite Pickard, and junior and Senior years, Billy Kennedy. Our Sophomore year brought full realization that we were in high school for that was the year that we received our class rings. Also in our Sophomore year, since there were only eleven grades then, we considered it a great honor and a lot of fun to sponsor the junior-Senior banquet, ln our junior year the main event was our junior play, Here Comes the Prince, which was a big success. We have great plans for this year, iniaddition to seeing the Carolina vs. V.P.l. football game and we are looking forward to the Senior Play, the junior-Senioi banquet, and our trip to Washington, D, C., which should be the Cala Event of the year. We think we are leaving a good heritage to the school. This year, under the sponsorship of the junior and Senior classes we are publishing an annual, this year also the Student Aid Association under the sponsorship of the Seniors and Mrs. Perry has been presented to the students for the first time. i j -We will always be grateful to our parents for providing us with the opportunity to receive a high school education, and to our teachers for the patience and considera- tion they have shown throughout the years we were with them. Our faith in our homes and our school is the basis of the confidence with which we face the future. A Billy R. Kennedy Class Historian

CLASS PROPHECY M. G. M. Studios Hollywood, California May 5, l957 Dear Dott, You can't imagine how proud all your classmates from Hasty are to 'hear that you are opening tonight at Carnegie Hall. Best of luck to you! Since it has been ten years since we graduated from Hasty, and about that long since I saw you, I thought you might be interested in what's happened to some of our classmates. Do you remember how Bill and Shorty used to stay together?-Well, they're in Chicago now. Bill is president of the Marshall Fields Co. and Shorty is a night club owner, and as usual has his arms full of pretty women. Guess who visited me over the week-end? Carrie Lou,iRobert, and little Robert Ill. Sparky's also married to Devoe Sink, She can't cook, but Devoe doesn't seem to mind. Kenneth finally latched on to Pollie and they have the cutest twins. Their names are Lollie and Mollie. Mary Frances johnson is the manager of the Rush, Rush, Rush Business Col- lege in Washington and joan Bowers, Gladys Davis, and Helen johnson are her able assistants. They are really doing well. Lois must have liked shorthand because she's teaching commercial at Greensboro College. Dolan Cecil is a major in the Marines and does he look grand? I received a picture from him just the other day. Oh, yes, Dot Lawson is doing wonderful work in her profession as a missionary. She is now in a quaint little town in South Africa. You remember how lazy jack, Kenney, and Donald were? Well, they're still taking it easy. They're co-owners in the jack, You Drive lt Automobile Corp. And, can you believe ,it-Q'Bumpy our handsome boy, is in Honolulu with plen-ty cf money and pretty women. His rich uncle died. Also Marie Ripple is working at the naval base in Bainbridge, Maryland. Don't you know she's happy-loving Navy men as she doesl ' By the way, Grease Monkey, Ronald C., is chief mechanic at the Atlantic States Motor Lines. And little jimmy Moser is president of the First National Bank. That really surprised me. And heres another surprise, jimmy Kennedy is a lawyer. I guess you can understand that from the way he used to argue and get in the last word, even under his breath. Vernell and Faye Dean are also doing bank work in Florida. ,I know they're enjoying the sunshine. I need not tell you about Ritchie's being in Hollywood, for you've probably already seen her first picture, Fair State. And Donnie, too, is-a Powers model, but she's in New York, maybe you'Il get to see her. If so, give her my love. Frances and Hazel are nurses at Duke Hospital and you can imagine how well they're doing with their sweet dispositions. This will really knock your hat off, Farlane, Bill Cecil, and William are playing with the St. Louis Cardinals and theyvvon out in the play-off. How about that? And our boy Windy is coaching basketball at Chapel Hill. I think it s just grand because he really loved the game.. Peggy and june are two good stenographers in Texas at one of the big oil com- panies. You know, down where the long-horns grow. Well, Dott, I think that takes care of all our classmates except me, and I'm still at the M.G.M, Studios doing secretarial work and loving it. I close now, once again wishing you the best of luck ever. With love, Hjessyn
