HISTORY On a bright September morning in the year l9LO, a group of timid faced boys and girls,unaware that World War II was brewing and that they were entering into the Atomic Age, entered mysterious places, Mangum, Holt and Rougemont Schools, to work for one goal - an education.

PROPHECY Would you like to take a trip into the future with me? If so, hurry, because the time ship will soon be leaving for a trip into the dark, now unknown future. Fasten your safe- ty belts, steady now, and--off--we--go! I can't see anything but blackness now, can you? Maybe it won't be too long now before we can see into the future through this little machine here on my right. See, objects are beginning to appear on that screen right now. Why, if it isn't -- no, it can't be, but it is Yvonne McFarland. Who would have ever thought she would be- come pianist at the Stork Club? The scene is changing now and it looks to me like a newspaper office. Isn't that Bernadine Poole? Well, so it is. She finally has a newspaper all her own. Oh! oh! we're at Carolina Beach now, and from where is that delicious smell coming? Where did you say? Oh! from Thomas Tippett's sea-food restaurant. I never knew he could cook. It seems as if we are looking in on a Hollywood movie eet now, and isn't that Carl Riley dressed up like Robin Hood? I always thought Carl had hidden talents. Uh! oh! we're in the Army now! Wonder who we know here at this camp? There's Marshall Ellis. I'm glad he fi- nally got to be a soldier because he was so anxious. His rank? Mess Sgt! My, what a large cattle ranch! Wonder who the owner is? I see now, it is Robert Wynne. There's plenty of steak in their freezer locker, I bet! Here's a natural looking scene. Barbara Gilchrist with another ring on her finger having quite a bad time getting that ten-room house cleaned for week-end guests. Isn't that a pretty little church? And isn't that Lew- is Jeffries preaching? Whoever would have thought he'd be- come a Methodist minister?
