CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1952, seventy ambitious freshmen took a ! ong-awaited step into high school. Our class advisors were Miss Elizabeth Grimsley, Mr. Charles Harr i 1 1 , and Mr. Harry Jenkins. We chose for our officers Joyce Eagle, President; Tommy Krimminger, Vice-President; and Whitaker Moose, Secretary and Treasurer. Our first class party was a square dance held in the Lions ' Hut. Since it was a Christmas party, •we had fun exchanging gifts. A swimming party and picnic at Mirror Lake brought a successful year to a c lose . As seventy sophomores entered Mt. Pleasant in the fall of 1953, we realized that half of our high school life would be over after this year; so we held our heads high with determination. Mrs. Luther Adams and Mr. Roy Webster were our advisors. The class chose Tommy Krimminger as President; Whitaker Moose, Vice-Presk Secretary; and Jimmy Fisher, Treasurer. At our first sophomore party we enjoyed a square dance in the school auditor! urt a skating party at the close of school. Summer vacation was a fast one, and forty-seven juniors returned to begir ways be remembered as a most successful year. Our class advisors were Miss Rosa James and Mrs. Carolyn Mills Smith. Our class officers were Tommy Krimminger, President; James Moser, Vice S Joyce Eagle, Secretary; Sandra Burris; Treasurer; and Doris Talley, Reporter. For our Junior and Senior years, yellow and white were chosen as class colors along with the yellow rose as class flower. Our motto was Forward ever, backward never. A three-act comedy entitled, The Professor Proposes , was presented as our Junior Play. The cast included Joyce Eagle, Doris Talley, Gene Earnhardt, Ned Cline, Lucile Ritchie, Dot Riden- hour, Whit Moose, James Moser, Sandra Burris, Joyce Miller, and Patsy Hahn. The play was di- rected by Mrs. Carolyn Mills Smith. A beautiful Junior-Senior banquet was held at Hotel Concord with Maypole as our theme, supervised by Miss James. The banquet was financed by the selling of magazines, a project which was very successful as it proved a new goal for the school| gg|3 Jft We smiled as the last bell for the year rang, regretting that a busy and happy year was behind us. J|. We opened our senior year with Miss Madge Sowell and Mrs. Carolyn Mills Smith asour advisors.

Forty of us and our advisors visited many in- teresting places and had an enjoyable trip. This twelfth year has passed quickly. We have terminated our high school studies and have closed our books. However, only now are we ready for commencement. We have reached one goal; now we set another. The book of Life is opening before us, and we are beginning to realize that Life challenges us.

CLASS PROPHECY WHAT ' S MY LINE As I look at this tele-time machine before me, and I begin to turn the dial to 1956, I am filled with excitement. I wonder what my classmates of the Senior Class of ' 56 are doing nowin the year of 1966. Suddenly the picture comes into focus and I see Henry Fisher working over pages of figures. Then I understand, for Henry has dedicated his mind to Science and it is through his invention that I am able to take a peek into the lives of my former classmates. Now the picture is changing and I see a group of women on the street. Why I know them! It ' s Margie Weaver, Shelby Dunlap, and Libby Vandenburg. They were married soon after school was out. Oh, they are talking to Ernestine Lowder, the famous movie star. Goodness, what a beautiful hospital ! The plaque had the builders ' names on it. Those engineers are none other than Tommy Krimminger and Eddie Foil. Those nurses admiring it are Joyce Miller Sara Fink, and Reba Shinn. Patsy Hahn is the owner of the next building, Pat ' s School of Dancing. have teamed up and are now touring the more important countries as professionals. Last week they and Ned Cline won the World ' s Championship, sponsored by James Moser, multi-millionaire jeweler. This big building is Whitaker Moose ' s enterprise. He took over hisfather ' s drug store. That man getting the prescription is Col. Ted Hagler, who is home on furlough from the Army. He ' s making it a career. Ted said he saw Larry Cline, Gene Yarborough, and Kay Stoner in Washington last and tells me they have made quite a name for themselves in government work. Larry is personnel manager while Kay is the President ' s secretary, and Gene, a head typist. The Mount Pleasant High School Faculty must be having a meeting so let ' s peek and see what ' s going on. Why, there are Gene Burris, head football coach; Kenneth Sifford, Agriculture teacher; Sandra Burris, Dorothy Ridenhour, Betsy Bost, Doris Talley, and Betty Cochran, all elementary teachers. I should have entered the teaching profession. This picture is coming from Paris It ' s so dim now I Can make it out. Lucille Ritchie, the internationally known modelling Joyce Eagle ' s newest creation. Goodness, what a machine! This picture is coming from Tennessee. It ' s Wayne Isenhour sitting behind a desk taking life easy. His title is head correspondent for Worldwide Trucking Center. Surely but it is Gene Faggart is Wayne ' s assistant. The picture is turning toward rolling countryside now. There ' s Ned Hudson, Cabarrus County Farm Agent, talking to Jim Fisher, Johnny Humphrey, Gene Earnhardt, Giles Misenheimer, and Marvin Bost. He ' s giving them advice on how to make their farms produce more . What ' s this! It ' s Jim Allman testing his stock car. ! understand he won the North Carolina Championship sponsored by Robert Shinn, American ' s foremost promoter. This machine certainly can cover the sports world wonderfully. There are Ted Auten, Junior Rinehardt, and Edward Lock- hart, playing baseball for the N. Y. Yankees. From what I read in the newspapers they have had a very successful season. Well, the machine just turned off so I ' d better be getting back to the office. My, how fast lunch hour passes.
