Pnjo pJtec f The other day as I was looking back over my 1955 annual, I began thinking about what all those seniors of ’55 are doing now in the year of 1969. The dreams of Lovine Burris, Earline Martin, Betty Barringer, Jane Allman, Nancy James and Barbara Baldwin have come true for these girls are now secretaries. Oh, yeah, Betty Sue Freeze is head secretary of a large firm in New York. , As vou know Frances Goodman was married before graduation, but she was not the only successful one in the field of matrimony. Iris Culp, Marie Goodman, Ann Hopkins, Jane Cline, Sue Cox, and Margie Smith have all made a touchdown in the game of love, too. Tony Arey has certainly gone all out in professional football. I saw in a New York paper, edited by Edgar Trexler, a few articles about Tony, Morgan Walker, and Coy Plott, who are coach- ing their own teams now. Speaking of sports, Jarrette Hammill is coaching girls’ basketball and Alice Harvell is playing for the Hanes Hosiery Mill Team. In case any of you get sick, we have plenty of nurses now. Joan Shoe, Doris Stancil, Miriam Goodman, Mary Frances Burris and Joyce Bodenheimer all chose nursing as their profession. I hear that they are very successful. Kay Allman, Kay Frances Stallings, Tommie Foil, Frances Cook, William Smith and Linda Fisher were interested in broadening their education so they chose their favorite colleges and went in search of knowledge. The latest news of them stated that they were still “slaving over books.’’ Passing a large farm yesterday that Kermit Cruse was auctioning off, I saw George Hahn. I wonder if George was buying another farm. Harold Crayton, Grady Ritchie, Herman Bost, Louis Suther, and George were all very interested in farming. If you see any sailors on the street, look closely; they may be Nook Corl, Joe Barrier, or Tommy Shinn. A few of our bus drivers are still driving. Norman Goodman and Bill Krimminger are driving transfer trucks; James Wishon is driving a bus for the Mount Pleasant Coach Company. Some of you may have seen those new teachers down at Mount Pleasant but in case you haven’t, Doris Troutman is teaching the second grade and Frances Hess is a first grade teacher. I always did say that they were interested in children. Kay Mullis and Mildred Mills are also teaching, but they prefer high school students. If you ever want to call a mechanic or a doctor, you will have to contact Vivian Faggart because she is a telephone operator. And, by the way, the best mechanic in town is Frank Kluttz. If you call the doctor, Doris Cline will answer because she is a secretary for our doctor here in Mount Pleasant. Brady Moose is head correspondent for Cannon Mills, and I hear that Kenneth Kimray is making a name for himself there too. When you travel around the country, you will see a lot of new construction work going on. The reason for that is because Victor Casper, Harvey Lyerly and Bill McMahan have all finished engineering school and are working to improve our state. Speaking of building things, somebody really went “all out’’ when they built that new plane with which Willard Moose set a flying record in the Air Force. Nadine Petrea is the only member of the class that I had no information on until I went shopping. After purchasing a new dress, I discovered it was a Nadine Petrea Original. I am very glad to know that all of the dreams of my class have come true. As for me, I am doing the least I can and taking life as easy as possible. LINDA CLINE Class Prophet
