It was a bright, sunny June day in the year 1990 that I sat behind my desk as Surgeon General of the United States. As I worked, a loud knock came at my door and in walked two of my old high school buddies, Roy Carraway and Roger Mozingo. The sight of them was not new to me for I had heard and read a lot about them and another buddy,” Bobby Nethercutt, whose job as Secretary of Agriculture had also brought him to Washington, D. C. Roger has also entered politics following three years of basketball with the Boston Celtics. He is now the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Roy has also done well for he is now Rear Admiral of the North Atlantic Fleet. I was more than glad to see these boys for they had brought news of our classmates of dear old Maury High School. I was glad to see that everyone was getting along fine and that everyone was successful. Mrs. Olive, our teacher, retired from teaching five years later after having given up on Billy May, who was still a sen- ior at the time. Billy now has made great strides, for he is Professor of English at Harvard University. Tommy Moore, after three years at Hardbarger’s Business College, is now business manager of the Oldsmobile Division of General Motors. Frank Taylor is a top mechanic with the Oldsmobile Company. He is also a Professional Hog-Chaser on the side. Charles Rogers is sole owner of the world’s largest gambling casino out in Las Vegas, Nevada. Guy Moore hit the jackpot when everyone discovered that he was the one who wrote: All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth.” Jim Pollock turned out to be the black sheep of the class; he is now Public Enemy No. 1 and is wanted in ' 48 states and Canada. Sugie Hill has become test driver for Chrysler Corporation. Funny thing, every car he tests tears up. Billy Daughtery is recognized as one of America’s top public speakers. He got his start from giving book reports in English class. It was no surprise to find that Stanley Fulford turned out to be a salesman. He talked so much I figured he would wind up with a job like that. Kenneth Johnson has turned out to be a famous poet and author. He is now editor of the English books used in all high schools. But what about the girls in our class. I would like to hear about them also. Well,” said Roger, our girls have also done well. Jo Ann Faulkner has now changed her name to DuPont since her husband has become president of the company. Lorraine Vandiford is recognized as one of Ameri- ca’s top hair stylist. She also designs and models dresses. Jerry Jones received her Masters Degree from East Carolina College, but retired ten years later to spend more time with her three children, Roger Lee, Jr., Lennie, and Ronnie. Faye Meadows is now recognized as the ' Florence Nightingale of our Mod- ern Times.’ Ruth Taylor, now that Leon is out of the Army, spends her time knitting children’s sweaters. Sylvia Faulkner is now an F. B. I. agent and has far outclassed Sgt. Friday. Mary Frances Linton has been promoted secretary to the presi- dent of DuPont, Inc. Hilda Letchworth is now one of the top telephone operators with Bell Telephone Co. Mary Bunn, also a nurse, joined Faye Meadows in finding the solutions to many unsolved medical problems. Ann Sugg has become North Carolina’s Chief Home Agent and last but not least is Mary Harper Beaman who is now one of America’s top chemists. She knew more than we thought she did in chemistry class?” It is my deepest hope that this I have prophecied will all come true, and make every member of our class progressive and successfuL Signed, ARTIE SHIELDS

-R oAst r UJill cmdl 7 i£ 4fte vt We, the Seniors of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Seven, of Maury High School, in the County of Greene, the State of North Carolina, being of sound mind and body and realizing our impending departure from this institution of training, do hereby declare and make this our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To the teachers of Maury, we wish to express our many thanks for their leadership and efforts toward increasing our wisdom. ARTICLE II To the undergraduates: To the Juniors, we leave the privilege of keeping the whole school waiting for them until they get to assemblies; To the Sophomores, we leave our abili- ty to participate and win. To the Freshmen, we leave the re- sponsibility of acting meekly in the presence of upperclassmen. To the underclassmen as a whole, we leave such a high stan- dard of achievement that they can never attain. ARTICLE III To our beloved parents, who have sacrificed so much, we leave our deepest love and gratitude and we hope that you can say that your sacrifices have not ail been in vain. ARTICLE IV Individual Bequests: During our years of school we have accumulated some well known articles which we would like to bestow upon the members of the high school. They are as follows: Hilda Letchworth leaves her quietness to Carol Faulkner with the hope that she will heed the deed. Mary F. Linton leaves her shyness to Linda Worthing- ton. The deed must prevail. Artie Shields leaves his ability to get along with Mrs. Olive to Preacher Murphrey. We must remember that Art was Mrs. Olive’s pet. Billy May leaves his many years in school, and his English seat to Wesley Smith. Ruth Taylor leaves her ability to trap a man to Addie M. Murray. To Faye Brann, Ann Sugg leaves her dignified ways. Our chief cheerleader, Jerry Jones, leaves her cheerleader suit and ability to make top grades to Vernette Albritton. Jo Ann Faulkner wills her happily married life to Sue Sugg. Lorraine Vandiford leaves her red and white sweater to Doris Mooring. Men love red” and so does Doris. Bobby Nethercutt leaves his sneaky ways to Linda May. Let’s see what happens when they get together. To Toby Tripp, Kenneth Johnson leaves his studious ways and love for library books. Sylvia Faulkner leaves her lovely voice and singing abili- ty to Mary N. May. To Kenneth Worthington, Roy Carraway leaves his good looks and ability to get along with Coach Pope. Arthur Hill leaves his way with the women to Andrew Humphrey. Jim Pollock leaves his cuteness and democratic ways to William Carraway. Mary H. Beaman leaves her high fashionable ways to Rebecca Murphrey. Charles Rogers leaves his troubled love life to all the Sophomore girls. Guy Moore leaves his love for Mrs. May to Nelson Tug- well. Faye Meadows leaves her never changing and sweet dis- position to Johnny R. Stanley and Arthur Heath. Frank Taylor leaves his fight in trying to keep the schools segregated to Richard Worthington. Mary Bunn leaves her position as maid-of-honor in the May Court to Jean Murphrey. Tommy Moore leaves his brick-hard muscles to Charles Pollock. And I, Roger Lee Star Mozingo, leave the rising Seniors each a ticket to next year’s Dixie Classic to see me lead the Wolfpack in recapturing the title. We, the Senior Class of 1957, do set our seal on this, the 28th day of May in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-seven. Witnessed by: Mr. D. G. Whitford Doris Mooring Mrs. Juanita Olive Signed by: Roger Lee Mozingo
