MRS. JUANITA OLIVE While we stop to think, we often miss our opportunity. THE SENIORS ' 58 Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky. The flying cloud, the frosty light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. ALFRED TENNYSON IN APPRECIATION This page is very small to give to one who has given so much, but we hope that this deed can, in its small way, express our appreciotion to Mrs. Olive for her untiring patience in her constant struggle of showing us the way to a better life. Credit for the good annuals we have had in the pastyears goes to Mrs. Olive. She got us off to agood start by organizing our staff and started us working. We will always be indebted to her for the time she has given up so that we could make up for the time we wasted during school hours. We have the deepest admiration and love for Mrs. Olive and wish to thank her for everything.

CLASS PROPHECY Ten years have passed since the Seniors of 1958 departed from the Graduate School of Maury. I hove been asked to Nvrite a report on their activities and this I have done with great pleasure. Last week I was invited to a coffee hour at the home of a North Carolina Senator. Upon arriving 1 found that the hostess . was none other than LINDA MAY, one of my former classmates. I learned that Immediately after graduation, she had married BOBBY NETHERCUTT who was then o student at N. C. State College. After Bobby graduated he was elected to the Senate, and, so Linda would have something to occupy her idle time, she attended college and is now teaching in the Primary School for the children of the Senators, Representatives, Cabinet Members, and the President. She has abeautiful homein Washington a few blocks from the White House and 1 really enjoyed my visit because Linda had a lot of news for my report. She seemed to know what everyone had done. I was surprised to learn that BILLY JONES, now the basketball coach of Yale University, Ismarried and has five children. Yale has won all its games since Billy became her coach. DORIS BEAMAN is Home Economics Teacher at the University of California. Her husband is also a coach and his team has a record almost as good as that of Yale. They have lost only one game In ten years and that was to the University of North Carolina back in 1960. Doris is having a time between teaching and looking after Carson Jr. and Robblynn DeSuee! BILLY CARRAWAY married his childhood sweetheart, Carolyn Cash. He was working at DuPont at Grifton and the super- visor became aware of his great abilities and gave him promotions, one after another. Through his hard work he become Pres- ident of DuPont at Wilmington, Delaware. Carolyn Is after him to retire and spend his leisure time recording songs for R C A Victor . Mrs. Julius Hughesv the former JEAN MURPHREY, is a housewife for her farmer husband. They have eight children. He became one of the wealthiest men In Greene County when he found oil on his property. TOBY TRIPP surprised everyone and majored in English. He had a hard time with English in high schoo I but was a vdilz in college. From many offers, he elected to teach English at the University of North Carolina. JAMES SHACKLEFORD is married and has four children. He became an undertaker and his first customer was President Eisenhower. ' ROYCE HORNE joined the Air Force and was sent to France. He learned to appreciate the hours spent In the library re- ..‘‘■ing Je suis, Tu es, II est“ for Mrs. Olive. Royce is back in the States now and has advanced to the position of General. V: NETTE ALBRITTON seems to be the only one In the class of ‘58 who hasn’t married. She lives in Miami, Florida and is doing very well teaching English at the University. Incidently, she is dating the Governor of Florida. CAROLE JOHNSON decided to take a four year business course and after taking it, her husband became Governor so now she is the First Lady instead of a bookkeeper. Because of their good friendship, CAROL WALSTON and LINDA HILL areteachersat Hardbarger ' s Business College. Carol teaches shorthand and Linda teaches bookkeeping. They both married local boys. WESLEY SMITH decided to become a detective for the F.B.l. and Itsagood thing for the U. S. that he did. Hekeptone of our top secrets from falling into enemy bonds. NELSON TUGWELL attended East Carolina College and majored in Business. He is nowteaching at King ' s Business College In Raleigh where he sees our former principal Mr. Whltford. Mr. Whitford is now President of the College. VANCE TAYLOR surprised us all by becoming a math teacher. He is employed at Wake Forest College where he teaches geometry. EARL NORRIS joined the Navy and became a great Admiral. His deeds on the seas have pushed John Paul Jones ' s deeds from the history books. ANDREW HUMPHREY ' S ambition was to become a Colonial Store Manager. Because he was such a hard worker he has be- come top man in the management of all Colonial Stores. I, REBECCA MURPHREY, hove not been left behind in this stream of progress of the 1958 Seniors. As a result of the en- couragement from my beloved French teacher, I have become a language interpreter for the U. S. Department of Foreign Affairs. Incidently, Mrs. Oliye also had great luck. One of her wealthy uncles died ond left her a huge sum of money. She and her family are now touring France and are talkingof buildlnga home there since Mrs. Olive has been offered the job of head pro- fessor at the Sorbonne. I am very proud of the accomplishments of the 1958 Seniors and my deepest appreciation goes to Linda Nethercutt for sup- plying me with the necessary information that went intothe writingof this report which willappear tomorrowin the NEW YORK TIMES.
