As I sat in a plane on the way to New York to a convention for Teachers of Handi- capped Children, I thought I heard a familiar voice saying, Please fasten your safety belts. ” I turned around and there was my old classmate, Lola Dawson; her voice if going strong after ten years believe it or not. Lola says that the pilot for the plane is one of our classmates, Dick Grady. Seems Dick has made good. Lola told me that it was quite a coincidence that another member of our class was on the plane; it was Louise Duncan. She had been home for the first time in five years and her work was calling her back in the missionary field of Africa. There she was doing a great deal to win souls for Christ. Louise told me that without the help of JoAnn Morton, as nurse of the sick and afflicted, her work would be almost in vain. I bade my classmate goodby and took a cab to the hotel. Whom do you think screeched up to the side walk. Yes, none other than Frankie Williams. I recalled how he maneuvered his car around while in high school. I thought to myself this occupation is really for him. As I went to register at the hotel desk there stood Janice Simpson. Janice conveyed to me that her work was a joy because of the many people she meets each day. Janice told me that she saw Dan Sutton two weeks ago, and that he was doing a fine job as head coach at the North Carolina State College. I asked Janice what several of our class- mates were doing and she told me if I went down to the coffee shop I would see the former Barbara Daughtery; seems she married the manager and they are doing quite well. Janice told me Adelheid Treschan is now a secretary in the United Nations build- ing. I guess we are all proud to clain Adelheid as a member of our 1955 graduating class. I told Janice about all the members I had seen that day, and she wanted to know whatever happened to Audrey Hardison, Betsy Riggs, Charlie Slaughter, Thelma Rice, Barbara Kornegay and Marie Register. I told Janice that Audrey Hardison and Frank had finally gotten married and were thoroughly enjoying married life. Betsy Riggs is now secretary for Lawyer Grice in Chicago. I told Janice about hearing Charlie Slaugh- ter picking and singing for the Grand Ole Opera on TV. Seems his recordings are sweeping the nation. It seems Thelma Rice was contented to be a mother and telephone operator at the same time. Barbara Kornegay is now in Japan because David is stationed there. He is making the service his career, and Barbara has really gotten the oppor- tunity to see the world with him. And Marie Register is the favorite teacher for the elementary grade at Jasper School. Marie has certainly made a good teacher. At this time I realized it was time for me to be at a meeting of the council. I thought to myself how I would love to get together with all my classmates once more for they meant a great deal to me while I was at Jasper School—and to think it has been my Alma Mater for ten years.

TViU We, the class of 1955, being of unsound mind and body and possessed with faulty reasoning nevertheless declare it our legal right to bequeath the following persons these articles: To the faculty, we leave a period of undisturbed peace and happiness. We think they will be happy just because we have accomplished this feat of graduation. We believe that we had them guessing about this at times. To all underclassmen, we leave this thought, Neglect not the gift that lies within thee, with sincere hopes that they will apply themselves to their respective talents to the best of their ability. To the members of the classes mentioned here, we, the seniors, bequeath the following: I, Barbara Kornegay, leave my ability to get a husband and continue to get good grades in school to anyone who has the nerve to do it. I, Marie Register, leave my ability to get a sailor to Irene Speight. I, Joann Morton, leave my sunny smile and friendly ways to Lucille Adams. I, Louise Duncan, leave my physics book on the Bunsen burner turned full blast. I, Adelheid Treschan, leave my German accent to my brother Helmut Treschan. I, Frankie Williams, leave all these bootiful women—but I shall return! I, Charlie Slaughter, leave my piggish ways to any hoggish junior. I, Dick Grady, leave my brains to Jack French. I, Alfred Creampuff Sutton, leave my dusty, ragged, good ole ”31” to Wootie. I, Barbara Daughtery, leave my willingness to clean rooms to anyone who takes the job. I, Betsy Riggs, leave my ability to have fighting pajama parties to the good ole gang I'm leaving at Jasper Hi. I, Sara Sugg, leave my hi-top socks to Bobby Snitcher Hodnett with the hope they don't cause much confusion. I, Audrey Hardison, leave my ability to play ball and make excellent grades to Elizabeth Hopewell hoping she will do the same. I, Janice Simpson, leave my Marilyn Monroe hair style to Mr. Harris to have on the bow of his boat, The Down Easter, (Hope the sea gulls like it.) I, Thelma Rice, leave my silly giggles to Joann Wetherington. I, Lola Dawson, leave Jasper School to Nancy and Carole Ipock. ARTICLE I ARTICLE II ARTICLE III Witness Lawyer Witness
