OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE—INTO LIFE ' S SCHOOL 1 There is a shining beacon Too bold mere eyes to see. But grant our sight provision make That we may someday be Examples of the finer-the purer When day is done; And let our n’er faltering toil Shine forth like silver in the sun. 2 And so, faith forever with us be A flame and shining way A spangled brightness Lighting up the days; With this bright eternal torch To light the skies We shall face life and death With fearless eyes. 3 The faculty with honor Forever held on high Here to see that knowledge Ne’r would pass us by; Their never ending kindness And helpfulness each day H ave made us want to better And to follow in their way. 4 As graduating seniors On a higher step we stand. Our names are called-diplomas placed Into each eager hand— It is to us our life and joy This proof of work well done, For now we know from Hopewell High The highest goal we’ve won. 5 To all you underclassmen Heed this word of ours; Be true and right in all you do— Strive for the highest towers. For there is no happier Or sadder moment known— Than this brief one— Your destiny entoned. 6 In split seconds our thoughts Retrace the years gone by; We reminisce the happy hours Spent at Hopewell High— Our colors and our Alma Mater Have meant the world to us, And within our hearts we proudly hail Ideals we must entrust. 7 To you we give a prayer at night, To you we humbly bow, Farewell to thee, our Alma Mater, We’re your alumni now. For out into the world we go With thought of the golden rule— Education as our tutor— “OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE—INTO LIFE’S SCHOOL.” Iean Wooten

PHOPHECY Have you ever thought how nice it would be to have an out-of-school edition of the Kaleidoscope to see just what has become of our wonderful ’49 graduates? Ray Storm’s “Fair Weather Printing Company,” edited by James 1 homas, had this idea and so we have this, the revised edition of the Kaleidoscope of ’49. hirst, as we turn to administration and faculty, our eyes come to rest on Colonel Thomas Boyette, superintendent of schools; Bill McClements, assistant- superintendent; Berkley Howell, principal; with Ned Martin and Miss Elsie Sabol as assistants. Turning the page we notice the physical education directors: Wesley Ned- l°ck, crew cut, bow tie, and all, and Nancy “Slay ’em with work” Hardy. Look, the new English teacher, Barbara Armstrong, is wearing on her collar a navy pin which we are sure belongs to Admiral Phil Janosik, commander of the good ship—“Sad Sack.” Thelma Childers now teaches psychology. We hear she psychoanalizes all the new teachers in her spare time. Marlene “You rip ’em, we sew ’em” Caudle, and Joyce “eat it and die” Connelly assisted by Joyce “scrub the” Hall are pictured as home economics teachers. Hayford and Schaaf have now taken over Mr. Grainger’s job. Schaaf does the “mad scientist” experiments and Hayford has mastered the art of corny jokes. Loveable Jean Wooten now teaches geometry with all its curves and angles. Little Nancy Scott is the art teacher, and last but not least, Billie Lee Scott is now the school nurse. In the senior division we see John “Rockefellow” Kreynus, senior vice- president of the “Taedter Chips” company owned by Jimmie Morris. Bill Bailey, a former leading football star, is now senior coach of Ledford Tech. Then, we couldn’t leave out Kenny Warren who has made news by holding the senior title for sleeping (or should we say hibernating) longer than anyone else. Faithful Pietei Van Benthuysen missed his old desk so much that he moved
