Senior Class Prophecy of 1950 Having been asked to foretell the future of my classmates, I took a walk along a lonely road, hoping an inspiration would come to me. As I walked along, I passed a gypsy camp and decided to ask the fortune teller to solve this problem for me. I entered her tent and told her my story, then she asked for the names of you, my classmates. I gave her your names and she told me the following about each of you ten years from now; Ann Best will be teaching Geometry at Zeb Vance; she will be as brilliant as ever. Eunice White will be a clerk in a certain grocery store in Vicksboro. Pauline Kearson is to be the wife of a prosperous farmer in Cokesbury. Shirley Brame will still be looking for a shorter route to Oxford, so she can see her James more often. Mary Sue Moore will be the wife of a country doctor, practicing nursing on the side. Peggy Breedlove is to be a private secretary for a big firm in Norfolk, Virginia, Ferebee Fletcher will be doing good with her own band in Middleburg High School. Gill Duke will be an agriculture instructor in Raleigh. Alvin Ellington is to be a patrolman with six counties to cover. John Reavis will be a city policeman helping Alvin with his work as a patrol- man. Kenneth Daeke will still be doing well, running his service station in Manson, Nie Tunstall Curtis is to be a stenographer in Macey's in New York City. Maurice Fleming will have his own hillbilly band, playing over station W.O.X.F.

Cast Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1950, being about to pass out of this sphere of edu- cation, in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, wish to leave behind us some token of remembrance and some written document to be sure that our desires and hopes will be carried out after our departure. Realizing full well the nearing end of our school days at Middleburg High School, we do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To our principal, Mr. E. O. Young, Jr., we bequeath our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, and our heartiest gratitude. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us through the years, we make over to him, here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. It shall be his to watch every step of our upward and onward flitting, to note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success, and honor that we may achieve in the arena of the world, and to accept for himself, as interest on our debt to him, every ounce of the praise, knowing that it is all due to his faith- ful instructions. To Mrs. McColl, a quieter English class. To Miss Mewborn, our best wishes that she will have much success in find- ing herself a man, with that new Chevrolet of hers. To Mr. White, a boys’ basketball team that wins every game. To Mrs. Blum, who has been sorely in need of more typewriters, we willa dozen new ones. To Mr. Blum, we leave a box of pencils, hoping that he won't have to charge the other boys rent for them. To dear old Middleburg High itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or notes we left around. We give and bequeath freely and without reservation to the Juniors, our rightful heirs and to their heirs, our most important and valuable properties, our nerve, our luck, our importance and our wisdom--all of which we possess in great quantities. To our good friends, the Sophomore Class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the Juniors.
