The characters, in their different roles, are those of the Class of 1950. Although one hundred and six make their appearance in Act I only fifty-seven are seen in Act IV. The reasons for a smaller number in the climax of the drama are many. Below is given a brief outline of the drama, concerning the students who successfully played their parts until the final curtain was drawn. ACT I Place: Honaker High School Time: September 19-i6-May 1947 Characters: One hundred six Freshmen Sponsor: Miss Mary Evelyn Johnson Class Officers: President, Leon Owens Sec.-Treas., Geneva Dye There was little action in Act I except for finding ones way about the place. However, there were signs of mental confusion and disturbances because the environment was new and very differ- ent. There was little difference, however, in the academic courses, hut by the end of the year, when we were making our schedule for the coming year, we were forced to think of math, biology, history, foreign languages and other holy terrors. ACT II Place: Honaker High School Time: September 1947-May 1948 Characters : Eighty-four Sophomores Sponsor: Mrs. Carmie Davis Class Officers: President, Leon Owens Sec. Treas., Patty Parris At the beginning of the second act less confusion was manifested and the characters were more confident of the role which they had chosen to play. The parts required more effort and per- severance. each day. To our sorrow many were unable to adjust themselves to these drastic changes and we saw enacted in our very presence the law of “The Survival of the Fittest”. At the final curtain call of 1948, there were only 62 players left. ACT III Place: Honaker High School Time: September 1948-May 1949 Characters: Sixty-two Juniors Sponsor: Mrs. Audie Miller Class Officers : President, Howard Fletcher Sec.-Treas., Peggj Jackson In this act the notable American History came into the foreground and resentment for it appeared in the faces of the players. Class rings came on the scene ; a party for the Seniors of ’49 aroused much interest, and commencement for the class of ’49 thrilled the players of Act III. Ho v ever, not all was joy and happiness for the third act was one which depicted sorrow and gloom because in November 1948, Mr. Harvey Robinson, one of the best loved teachers in Honaker High School stepped gently out of the scene to join the innumerable caravan that moves to that mvstcrious realm. (Continued on next page) - 13 — r 950 T orch Class History (Continued from preceding page) ACT IV Place Honaker Higli School Time: September i9-i9-May 1950 Characters: Fifty-seven Seniors Sponsor: Miss Mary Sue Fuller Class Officers: President, Llovd White Secretary, Geneva Whited Treasurer, Howard Fletcher Aid four opened in September 19 19 with fifty-seven players each hopeful and happy to have a view of the summit then in the not too distant future. In spite of gleeful occasions such as The Harvest Festival, Selection of Commencement announcements and cards, Class banquet and party, publication of the Torch, Class Play presentation and many other activities, there was much arduous studying ' to he done. Some of the characters enjoved that too and were always happy but others became unhajipy at the thought of class preparation even though they recognized its impor- tance in the completion of the drama. “Move on, Father Time, Our Plaif is finished.” “The Cl. ss of ’50” — 14 - - Honaker High Class Prophecy By iNIiLDRED Ball, Mary Sue Johnson, Patta ' Parris) One cool sjiring night in 19G5 as I was taking a plane tri]i to Hawaii, I had a strange and exciting experience. When I turned on the plane’s television set I saw Jack Hess, one ot the nation’s foremost histori-iiis, who had collected data concerning each member of the Honaker High School senior class ot 1950, and Brittain Turn er, a promising Movie director of HollvAVOod, who had made pictures of the individual classmates busy in their chosen profession. Together they had worked out tlie most interesting program on television I have ever witnessed. First I saw Glen Jackson, who introduced tile program and made a very brilliant speech concerning the participating members. As I sat there wondering who would be the first to apjiear on the screen, I saw Marion Lee Akers going about lier duties as manager of the H onaker Beauty Shoppe. Jean Ann Baldwin wf s as br ' autiful as ever in a red morning dress, as she was busy making biscuits for iicr husband, Garcl, in their little cottage at Garden Creek. Mildred Ann Ball was displaying her latest painting of .lack Smith in the N.ational Art Gal- lery. Don Barnhart, owner of the Kregar iMining Co. was busy giving his men their orders for the day. John Artrip, a traveling salesman for the Fuller Brush Conpiany, was demonstrating his brushes to Freda I.ockhart, who is now a housewife at Richlands, Va. IMildred Boyd, much taller and thinner with a distinct old maid air was teaching English at Honaker High School. Myrtle Brown with that well remembered smile was on roller skates as she gave curb service at a restaurant at Skeggs. Va. The next person to flash on the screen was L5oris Call, who was down on her knees telling Charlie iVIunsey that she thought when a couple had dated for eighteen years, it was time to get married. Professor Bill Counts, having gained an almost unheliei ' ahle stature w;is expounding “Campus Conduct” to the seniors of Emory and Henry College. Doris Crabtree, a popular Broadway dancer, was driving her new Buick up Big A Mountain to visit her parents after her sixth visit to Reno. J. B. Crabtree looked on proudly as Sonny Faye Dye, Virginia Health Inspector posted a notice saying that his restaurant “The Crabapjile” was a Grade A restaurant. Geanette Crabtree, in a crisp nurses uniform wais helping Dr. Bob Hillman of tbe Lebanon General Hosjiital perform an ojieration on our beloved teacher. Miss iSIary Sue Fuller. Kenenth Dye was standing in front of a new Chevrolet car he invented that could go around a curve on two wheels. Bob Deel was disjilaying pole cat bides which by a new process of tanning looked very much like expensive Mink. Mona Dye was busy wdtb routine work in tbe office of her emjiloyer. Dr. Kyle Wells, the most famous dentist in Southwest Virginia. Lloyd Dye, owner ot the Swords Creek Mining Co. Avas having a private conference with his secretary, Oma Gay Dye. Ihe next person to be seen on the screen was Irion Honaker, who was demonstrating a new k’ of hair tonic on Gene Dye, whose head was so slick and shiny that the glare hurt my eyes. D_ r was securing a patent for her new tyjie of freckle cream, guaranteed to remove fr ' es . ' ernight. ’ (Continued on next page) — 15 — 1950 Torch Class Prophecy (Continued from preceding page) Elmer Fuller, employed by the A P at Grundy, was stocking the shelves and smiling above dark rimmed glasses at a buxom school teacher. Howard Fletcher and his wife, lildred Van Dyke, were cleaning the yard around their new stucco farm house at Little River. Roberta Gent, swimming instructor at V. I. College, was having a talk with the board of direc- tors about having a new swimming pool installed. Then I saw a handsome man writing a letter and looking very miserable. It was Carl Henry Hart writing to Beatrice Fairfax, asking her what to do when you have ten girl friends and there are only seven short days in a w ' eek. Jimmy Hurt had gone into the hold-up business. He was making a new kind of suspenders. James Honaker w ' as interviewing a contestant on his radio program “It Pay.s to be Ignorant.” The next scene was in a lawyver’s office. The lawyer was none other than Jack Johnson and his client was Miss Lorene Musick. Clifford Jessee was trying in vain to teach his young son to ne% ' er trust a woman. I.ula Jackson was in Washington, D. C. obtaining a patent for her new medicine, called “.Tackson’s Little Worm Pills.” Betty Jackson w ' as a saleslady for the “Superform Girdle Co.” Then there was that plucky little Nellie Jackson, trim in a crisp uniform going about her duties as a gracious hostess on one of the modern American Airlines planes. Peggy .Jackson was entering a bathing beauty contest in Florida to be judged by Mr. Dallas Starnes. I was very surprised to see Mary Sue .Johnson and Geneva Whited lying fast asleep in a cotton field in Alabama. Thev had chosen many occupations for a living, but had finally decided on cotton picking. In the distance I saw a night club “The Star”on big A Mountain, featuring Virginia Simms as the feather dancer who had great ability to entertain the customers. Betty M.artin was in her well furnished kitchen having a quiet supper with her husband, Polk Fields. Their four children were patiently waiting in the back yard for their turn to eat. Much to my surjjrise, there was Betty Jo Musick, working as personal secretary to Jimmy Durante. Kyle sillier was being awarded a silver cup for breaking the world record as a running cham- pion. M llbur Miller was welcoming a new member into his I.onely Hearts Club. The new member was none other than Mary Rose Wilson. Patty Parris and her husband, Ray Mason, were boarding the train at Penn Station, enroute to their old town of Honaker to begin a revival. Leon Owens was standing in front of “OldGlory” as he was being inaugurated as Republican President of the United States. Jo Ann Newberry appeared tlien, driving down Fifth Avenue at Honaker searching for her husband. Bill Combs. Mary Peck was an efficient little housewife at her new home at Raven, Virginia. Henry Price was smiling happily as he was working at his new job, fitting hosiery for ;ach lady customer. Lloyd White was jjroudly trying to get someone to allow him to give them an injection of h. ' s new serum which was supposed to produce knowledge overnight. ( Continued on next page ) —16 Honaker High Sc, Class Prophecy (Continued from preceding page) . Harry A ' ilson, who is now manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was being congratulated on the success of liis team. I knew it was almost time for tlie program to end and I started to turn the receiver off, but as I started to do so that tiny Joan Wyatt stepped out on the stage to announce that she had just been made Miss America of 196-5. Then the program was over and I turned off the receiver and sighed. Ah, my friends had done well for themselves in life, hut now’ I must apply fresh make-up and get ready to land at my destination, Hawaii.

LEON OWENS Witness: GENEVA WHITED ROBERTA GENT r t 19 so Torch Class Poem (Iiorene Musick and Jo Ann Newberry) We, the members of this g ' raduating ' class, Will be forgotten as the years come and pass. But may the successors that take this tower, Never make waste of a sing-le hour. We fifty-seven seniors are the best of friends; All losses are restored and sorrows end. The Torch has been ours; we’ve held it hig-h In the past four years that have drifted by. May those that succeed us never wear a frown; But only strive for a higher crown. Marion Lee Akers is first on our list; She taught all our girls that certain twist. John Artrip is a very bashful boy; Could Nancy fill his heart With joy? When Jean Ann Baldwin walks down the street She looks for Garcel, whom she hopes to meet. Mildred Ball, from up Big A Mountain way Can be seen with Jack Smith almost any day. Don Barnhart is a pretty good guy; He never bothers us as we pass by. Mildred Boyd is a cute blond Of whom we all are very fond. Myrtle Lee Brown just joined us this year; But to us her presence is dear. Doris Call is our laziest gal; And to all she’s a true pal. Bill Counts is as little as little can be. How he stays out of the way is a mystery to me. Doris Crabtree just drives the boys wild With all of those new hair styles. Geanette Crabtree, her own business does mind; If more of us were like her, it’d be just fine. J. B. Crabtree, we must confess, Has a smile for everyone in H. H. S. Bob Deel still hunts polecats; How in the world can he stand that? Gene Dye always wears a grin Which extends from forehead to chin. Kenneth Dye is a good looking guy ; But he’ll probably end up being a spy. Lloyd Dye likes all the girls; Especially little blonds with curls. Mona Dye thinks all the boys are fine But “Pea Soup” usually leads her line. Oma Gay Dye loves to joke; And make us laugh until we choke. Peggy Dye is one we all like, But she loves only Jim Allen VanDyke. Sonny Faye Dye is a cute little chap; I guess he takes it after his pap. Howard Fletcher is tall and straight; His ambition is to be president in eighty-eight. Elmer Lee Fuller leaves all the girls alone. He probably will never own one for his own. Roberta Gent is always so funny; And never stingy with her money. Carl Henry Hart is our most handsome guy, And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you why. Jack Hess came from up Bichlands way; But he’d rather be down here any day. Bobby Hillman in basketball is good. And plays in the game just like he should. Irion Honaker is next in the line; His equal would be hard to find. James Honaker really makes us laugh With things he says in class. Jimmy Hurt is really tall. But for him. Sue Keene will fall. Hush, Betty Jackson, don’t you cry. You’ll get a “Shortt” gmy by and by. Glen Jackson is a wee bit shy; In our minds we wonder why. Lula Jackson is always chewing her gum; If she’d pass it around, we’d all have some. Nellie Jackson is one of those brunettes Who will be a success we all can bet. Peggy Jackson is so pretty and sweet; She could sweep any man off his feet. Clifford Jessee is a nice young man; He’ll get a girl for his own if he can. Jack Johnson is as lazy as can be; How he makes grades is a mystery to me. Mary Sue Johnson has many a boy fiuend, But she’s bound to get a blond in the end. Freda Lockhart is still as a mouse; You hardly know she’s in the house. Betty Martin is big and loud; You can hear her voice in any crowd. Kyle Miller is the star of the basketball team; When he makes a goal, we’re bound to scream. Wilbur Miller goes to see Nelcene each night, Say, thy must be getting along all right! Betty Jo Mustek is very good at singing; But soon she’ll make the pots and pans start ringing. Lorene Mustek always does her best; Until the work is done, she has no rest. Jo Ann Newberry is really bright, We wonder if she studies all night. Leon Owens is a lady’s man; But some old nagger he’ll land. Patty Parris is our basketball queen; Out on the court she’ll always seen. Mary K. Peck is nice and polite; We can’t see how she stays so quiet. Henry Price is really handy ’Cause with the girls he’s a dandy. Virginia Sims is short and fat; With Walter she loves to chat. Brittain Turner hums and haws When the teacher on liim calls. Mildred VanDyke is always wearing a grin; Is it Howard’s heart she’s trying to win? Kyle Wells in his classes is good; He studies like more of us should. Lloyd White is from down Finney way, I bet he leaves that place some day. Geneva Whited sure does like the boys; She plays with hearts as if they were toys. Mary Rose Wilson is always so sweet; But there’ s a saying, “Still Waters Run Deep”. When it comes to athletics, Harry Wilson leads th’ line ; But in his lessons, he’s a little behind. Joan Wyatt is cute and small; As for the boys, she loves ’em all. —20 — J CLASSES e 1950 Torch Junior Class Sallv M ILLER Peggy Axn Musick Dox Neu beruy Will IS Nash Carrie Beatrice Owexs ' ILLIE Deax Palmer Fraxklix Perkixs Lucy Perkixs Fraxk Phillips Jimmie Preas Ellex Rose Doxalu Ruble Billy Edd Samples Billy Ct.
