CLASS POEM Tonight we launch; where shall we land? Will it be on rock or on the sand? Our lighthouse here its glow doth yield To all our ways in every field. As we sail across the ocean deep, May each surge be a forward leap. Though we've had hardships and some tears, They are left behind with the youthful years. Each one has had the power to weather Each storm while we were all together. Our places now we leave behind For those who seek, and those who find. May we be ever kind and true In all the things we try to do AnN HERMAN

CLASS PROPHECY By INa Mar Ripincs My, this Lewisville Supper Club gives me a feeling of luxury every time I come in here! Oh, hello there, Ann. Do you have my table reserved? You seem to be liking your new job as hostess of the Supper Club. Is this my table? Thank you— Why, Nancy Pinnix, am I glad to see you! When you called for a supper date, I was delighted. I suppose you're liking your new job all right. You certainly are the best sports writer the Journal-Sentinel ever had. Why, there’s David Hicks. Wonder when he got into town? He made the first string football team at State last year. You know he went on to college after his army ser- vice. Have you heard that Pauline Messer and Nancy Dull have recently been chosen the most stunning models in New York? Louise Whitman brought me down here in her cab. She likes driving, she says, and Jackie Gilyard is an excellent man to work for, though he’s never there on time. Oh, yes, didn’t you tell me Dorothy Jones hooked a big executive from Western Electric, and they are living in Burlington now? I thought so. Have you been out to see Gilbert and Arnold Conrad’s new brick homes? They have reached at least part of their old ambitions—to own one of the best dairy farms in the South. I went down to see Terry Rothrock’s new Lewisville General Hospital the other day, and who do you suppose the new Superintendent of Nurses and Head Nurse are? None other than Barbara Phillips and Ethel Colbert! Of course Terry also has his hand in the new Iron and Steel Mfg Co., just opened by Bill Herman. My brother Jerry and Bobby Lashmit are doing quite well with the beginnings of their new Lewisville-West Bend railroad, too. I heard from Frank Holder last week. He is in Honolulu and likes Army life so well he’s decided to make it his career. Can’t you imagine his furloughs on Wakiki? It’s too bad he and Louie are separated, but Louie liked his Highway job, so he came back to it. Now he is main- tenance superintendent for the Forsyth roads. You know how lucky Delmas Mendenhall always has been? Well, again it happened. She got a position with a corporation in Louisiana which manufactures a drug which is even out selling Hadacol! She seems to be on the way up—perhaps to the presidency. Have you been over to the school lately? It’s grand to see Sally Huffman teach Home Ec. She graduated last year at WCUNC and came right back home to put her training to work. There’s a new building down back of the school. I hear it belongs to Eva Nelle Harper. It must be the Orphanage she used to talk about. Look! over there! It’s the “big shot” stock car race promoter—our Billy Reid. Last time I was at the races Billy Levens won top honors. He can beat even Jimmy Llewellyn . Eunice Craft has been trying to talk him into letting women compete. She believes she can beat all rec- ords. When Colleen Sink used to agonize over her shorthand, did anyone ever think that by this time she would be using it as a White House secretary? And John Hunter told me the other day he is building his political fences very carefully so that he may be right in line for the presidential nomination just as soon as he is old enough. You can never tell from one’s school interest what he will do. Maybe he’ll be able to play his trombone well enough to match Mr. Truman’s piano playing. Let’s go to the Lewisville Theater tomorrow night. I’d like to see Pat Jones and Bobby Jordan in that new play which is having its premier then. They have really gone up in the dramatic world. And that reminds me, did you hear and see the TV program from Chicago Monday night? I nearly came out of my chair when I saw Margaret Reich at the piano. She still has that same old touch. The new peace time army is again calling for secre- taries. I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at it, but Nelda Sheets and Grace Jennings beat me to it. They left on the 8 o’clock plane this morning. They have a notion that life in Washington will be a bit spicier than that in Lewisville, but I’m having such a good time here just keep- ing up with everyone—and of course I’ve got a good job— that I’ve decided the old home town suits me—at least till “my hero” gets out of the Army! My goodness! I’ve been chattering on as usual and you’ve hardly opened your mouth. And now it’s floor show time. I’m glad you told me about Libby Huffman’s ap- pearance here tonight. Her ballet dancing seems to be taking the day in that big theater up in Yadkin County owned and operated by Billy Miller and Norman Moser. The Washington professional basketball team really got a “shot in the arm” when they signed Bill Pegram to play guard. He’ll be running their plays as he did for us in 1951. With Colleen, Grace, Nelda, and Bill all in Washing- ton, we all ought to go up again, see the sights, and have. a reunion. ——— eee

A Eat EF is worn Hanter Naney Tianty Norman Moser has ability to think and do, best Frecatrue : His being a real executive, we’re Norman Moser sure, you know is true. Many in our class the art of neatness know, One look at Nancy Pinnix and John Hunter tells you so. When it comes to athletics, Bill Pegram tops them all; And Eva Nelle Harper plays tricks with a basketball. Bobby Jordan is as witty as anyone can be; Dolly Ridings amuses, too, as you can plainly see. On Sally Huffman you really can depend; Norman Moser, the whole school would recommend. Ahost Athletic : Hilly fe gram Eva. Nelle Hamper Grace Jennings is always friendly and kind; A boy more admired than Bobby Jordan is hard to find.
