 Who was it that said there were no signs of success in the hearts and minds of those 1957 Seniors of Good Ole Jasper Hi School? Was it you? Ah, yes, no doubt. But do you know? While preparing for my summer vacation, I decided to find as many of my fellow graduates as 1 could. I am, incidentally, Patricia McDaniel, a nurse at Duke Hospital. My first ambition was to travel back to Jasper. As I stopped by the Neuse Drive Inn, 1 found that Terry Prevost is owner and operator. Still good milkshakes, Boy! Ray White, always faithful in his job, operates a cafe where he sells anything from girls' hairpins to barbecued rabbits. During my visit to my ole classmate, Kay McCoy, who has now increased her family to two, pre- cious twins, 1 learned about Mack Rice, a modern version of Elvis Presley. Go, Elvis! Too bad Shirley Calhoun and Audrey Watson got married and quit their jobs as waitresses at the Metropolitan Club. I then drove over to Nancy Wetherington's and found that she is still happily married and is now successfully operating the Wetherington Modern Beauty Shop in Dover. From Nancy I learned that Bailey Prevost has become owner of the famous well-known Parker’s Oyster Bar. As I stopped at the Wooten's Service Station, 1 thought the name Wooten sounded familiar, when - who should come out to wait on me but my ole classmate Aubrey Wooten. While talking to Aubrey I happened to look up, and there was Archie Johnson checking the oil in my car. I was very amazed to hear that Jerry Tripp now has his garage and is doing exceedingly well. Then as 1 traveled 1 decided that my next stop would be at the high school. Much to my amaze- ment, Jeffrey Pugh was principal. He and one of his teachers. Virginia Williams, were discussing some of their problems. I wonder who out-talked the other. We talked for awhile, and then it was time for me to be on my way. As I was walking out, who should appear, but Nola Daly who has now learned the responsibilities of married life and is now assisting as a cook in the school cafeteria. We talked awhile, and Nola told me that Faye Adams is now Glee Club director of Jasper, and Betty Hill is her assistant director. After I finished visiting the school, 1 decided to walk over to the gym and who should I see but Leslie Davis, who has taken Mr. Hood's place as band leader. Then I decided to drive to New Bern, and as 1 passed through Spring Garden, I saw someone out in the yard playing with her cherubs. After I looked closely I discovered that it was Kaye Adams who had now become Mrs. Freddie Jones and is contented just staying at home, keeping house and looking after her three small cherubs. Having talked for awhile, Kay told me that Janie McDaniel and Betty Bryan, through seniority in service, have finally become successful secretaries at McLellan's and Kress's. I drove to New Bern, and after talking to Janie and Betty, decided to spend the night at The Hotel Governor Tryon. The next morning I got up early and started back home, feeling very happy to know that all of my classmates are living very happily and have made a great success of their careers. Prophet
