Class Will We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and sixty, being of impaired body and questionable mentality, after half a decade of sweat, gripes, and homework in this institution, realizing that our noble and stalwart figures will soon no longer grace the memory-laden hallways of our ALMA MATER, and trusting that our departure will be properly mourned, do hereby and herewith, bestow, impart, and bequeath our hig h degree of intelligence, wisdom, and understanding, and our other equally valuable qualities, to the deserving and ambitious (?) lower classmen in this, our last will and testament. We desire to reward the faithful Juniors for their perseverance in progressing for eleven years toward the goal we have now reached; therefore, we unconditionally bequeath to them the proverbial senior privileges, along with Room 12, our battle-scarred piano, and our own Mrs. Russ. To the Sophomores and Freshmen we leave our patience and longsuffering - they will need it. To the faculty and Mr. McKee, we leave . . . ' nuff said! Individually, we should like to relinquish the following qualities that have made us particularly outstanding ; BARRY CAMPBELL leaves Linda (except on weekends) while he is attending Lynchburg College, and hopes no one can make her forget him. BARBARA ROSS leaves her foresight of taking government in summer school to Donnie Campbell. SHERMAN WOOD gives his height to Roy Williamson. (Roy, this addition should easily land you a job in a side show.) BARBARA BOOTHE rather reluctantly gives up her position on the basketball team, and she graciously bestows her honor as good citizen on Brenda Orange. PATRICIA CHEEK hands down her wedding band to Martha Craig. (It will be years before R. A. can afford to buy one.) REVA ORANGE bequeaths her happiness as a Mrs. to the next brave Senior who takes the leap. MILDRED GILES leaves her ability to break hearts and incite riots to Eilene Pratt. ELEANOR ROOP bestows her natural curls upon Helen Overstreet. BOBBY BOBBITT bequeaths his system of missing two days a week and maintain¬ ing a passing grade to Tom Kirkwood. BRENDA CARTER is willing to share her bright smile and some of her fun with Linda Stevens. SARAH WILLIAMSON passes down her aversion to long hair to Ida Ruff. ETHELENE CHILTON relinquish es her beautiful dramatic reading ability to Carroll Harding. THELMA HAMILTON very considerately wills her knowledge of government to Danny Obenchain. JOYCE LAWHORN imparts her secret of having a different boyfriend every week to Patty Bowyer. STEVE PINION consigns his knack of persuading teachers to accept two-month-old homework papers to Shelby Giles. WALTER RIELEY bequeaths his faultless conduct to his brother, Francis, who obviously needs it. JOYCE BOOTHE yields her sly method of stealing the basketball from an opposing team to Doris McClure. MARIE ROSE passes on her knowledge of how to catch and hold a man to Norris Johnson, with hopes that it will come in handy in a crucial time. JANICE CUSTER bequeaths her love of gum-chewing in Miss Shealor ' s classes to Louise Pierce. FRANCES LAM leaves her trait of keeping quiet to Linda Lawhorn. MICHAEL MOORMAN presents a love of government and a cluttered up desk to Joseph Dooley, and w ills his illegible handwriting to Miss Rayburn. MARGIE CARTER leaves her love of shorts and skating to Kaye Terrell. PATRICIA FOSTER gives her ladylike manner and quiet tones to Gaynelle Nester. BETTY KIRKWOOD confers her task as Editor of the ECHO to Nancy Connor. EMILY LUCK grants her supply of energy and her perfect defense on the basketball court to Nancy Dooley. ARLENE HINER bestows her flawless notebooks and high grades upon Gay Bowyer. ■ PAUL DOOLEY hands down an inferiority complex to David Custer. (We hope YOU value and develop this legacy, David.) ANN CHILTON leaves many weekend visits to the Candlelite Club to Barbara Jones, and sincerely hopes she will enjoy them. JANET CHAPMAN gladly surrenders the money box to the careful handling of Peggy Dooley. LARRY WITT offers his quiet sense of humor to Harold Wheat. THOMAS BARTON, unconditionally and without reservation, wishes to leave memories of 13 torturous years at Montvale to Mike Lodge. BETTY GILES gives her photographer ' s rights as a member of the ECHO staff to Amanda Ruff. BARBARA KIRKWOOD bequeaths her typing speed to Joyce Franklin. OWEN WHEAT confers upon Gary Reaves his most studious title. NANCY AGEE yields her position as Senior pianist to Kitty Buford, and insists that her post on the annual staff be likewise disposed of. STEVE WILLIAMSON leaves his perfect attendance record in his Senior year to David Napier. FRANCES WALDRON wills her slender waistline to Carol Overstreet. EMMA JOHNSON, voted best all around and Queen of the Senior Class, relinquishes her femininity and charm to all of the Junior girls on an equal basis. SHIRLEY REYNOLDS leaves all study and worries behind as she receives her honorable discharge from MHS. Bus drivers, WOOD, DOOLEY, and PINION present next year ' s drivers with degeared copies of MODERN CHILD PSY¬ CHOLOGY, HOW TO EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL, and METHODS OF TORTURE THROUGH THE CENTURIES, all of which proved effective in the past year. We hereby appoint the unpresuming underclassmen as executors of this document; and we do affix our names hereto for posterity. Signed, sealed, and delivered on this third day of June, nineteen-hundred and sixty by; Stephen D. Pinion Nancy Agee Arlene Hiner

Class Prophecy Approaching footsteps moving down the long corridor, drawing NEARER, RESOUNDING LOUDER. The doctors conversed in hushed tones. I turned my face to the bare, padded wall, AND REMEMBERED. It could have been yesterday or a decade ago, OR PERHAPS TOMORROW. Time seemed irrelevant, almost non-exist¬ ent. That fateful night will ever burn in my memory. Through an unaccustomed contact with my trigonometry book, I discerned certain figures which stood out. They chal¬ lenged me! I muttered them under my breath. Finally, finding courage, I repeated them aloud. The result was unbe¬ lievable! By some unknown twist of fate, or an obscure scientific principle unheard of by this civilization, I had unbe¬ lievingly passed into Einstein ' s predicted Fourth Dimension, that of Time, merely by mentioning that queer and magical equation. And as part of this transformation, I had been loaned the gift of prophecy - for the figures portrayed before me were those of my CLASSMATES. These visions are now hazy and vague in my mind, but I shall attempt to show you as clearly as possible the future of the Class of ' 60, as I saw it. MICHAEL MOORMAN was portrayed to me as a destitute Doctor of Letters who had majored in American Government, and who was still trying to find a school where he could teach his revolutionary theories. I saw BRENDA CARTER as a new Hollywood glamour queen who had replaced Marilyn Monroe as number one attraction across the nation. LARRY WITT was shown as a successful and rich toupee manufacturer. JOYCE LAWHORN, who couldn’t make up her mind to marry, is now running a Lonely Hearts Club. EMMA JOHNSON, having too much fun to marry and settle down, is a shrewd and single businesswoman in Honolulu, and is dating a different man each night. WALTER RIELEY owns and manages the largest cattle ranch in Texas. SHIRLEY REYNOLDS, one of the fastest girls in the U.S., is a stewardess aboard a super¬ sonic jet airliner. MARIE ROSE now specializes in raising baby roses - both the sweet-smelling blooming kind, and the keep-you-awake-all-night-crying type. BARBARA KIRKWOOD is a Russian love-lorn columnist. SHERMAN WOOD now drives a new shool-bus with an automatic transmission. He still hasn ' t grown tall enough to reach the clutch. NANCY AGEE, a renowned concert pianist, has just returned from a successful tour of Europe. MARGIE CARTER, who dearly wanted to become a skating champion, now resides in northern Alaska and tries to teach her seven offspring the art. STEVE PINION, is currently compiling a new dictionary because WEBSTER ' S wasn ' t complete enough for him. JOYCE BOOTHE wanted to get married, but she is presently teaching a business course at Radford College. JANET CHAPMAN formerly presided over the Chapman Nursery, but now exercises jurisdiction over her own flock. ETHELENE CHILTON, teacher of drama and public speaking, is presently trying to teach a class of her boyfriends how to propose. BETTY KIRK¬ WOOD, a modern Florence Nightingale, is overseas nursing sick and wounded servicemen and loves every moment (AND every soldier) of her work. PAUL DOOLEY, with his instrumental program on television is giving Perry Como some real competition. JANICE CUSTER, a test pilot for Lockheed Aircraft, is currently exploring the dark side of the moon. THOMAS BARTON is now Chairman of the Barton-Havana Cigar Import Corporation, and consumes two boxes of his pro¬ duct daily. BARBARA BOOTHE, once a cheerleader, now teaches her family of girls to keep house while she watches basketball games on television. BOBBY BOBBITT now sits in his study writing a DO IT YOURSELF book for his first son. BARBARA ROSS is now a highly paid shoe-lace model on TV Channel 10. FRANCES WALDRON owns several thousand acres of bare, uninhabited Arizona desert-land, with no fences in sight. Believe it or not, this is her place of business. (Frances teaches married women how to drive.) OWEN WHEAT, Bedford ' s Chief of Police, has trouble enforcing the 70-mile-an-hour speed limit with his souped-up bicycle. ELEANOR ROOP is as surprised as everyone else by her sudden decision to become a lawyer. SARAH WILLIAM¬ SON was one of our engaged gals at MHS. We now find that she has been engaged fourteen times and is still looking. BARRY CAMPBELL is making a name for himself by marketing an entirely new tranquilizer drug. Tall and slim STEVE WILLIAMSON has rocked the television entertainment field by starring in a new series of western shows. FRANCES LAM presently coaches the football team at Georgia Tech. PATRICIA CHEEK has divorced eight husbands in ten years and has decided to stay single and live recklessly for a while. ARLENE HINER, a slim, trim candidate, is now in the Miss Universe contest. BETTY GILES takes dictation from Mr. McKee and helps him paddle bad little boys. ANN CHILTON wore the longest pony tail in her class at Montvale, but she is now secretly bald and wears a flashy red wig. ' f ■ ' { ' j i i Continued to page 52
