Class History Four short years ago seventy-nine care-free, but determined, freshmen entered Mount Pleasant High School . With us came our ideas, our goals and our hope, with which we were to build for the future . Our class advisors during our first year in high school were Miss Ruth James, Mr. Charles Harril, and Mr. Harry Jenkins. Our class election results were: President, Joe Mills; Vice- President, Shirley Auten; Treasurer, Sue Foil; and Secretary, Bob Burris. On the last day of the school year the Freshman Class enjoyed a swimming and skating party. Summer vacation offered us leisure and a short intermission during our high school days. In the fall of fifty-four, high school was a familiar and welcome part of our life as we opened our books with renewed interest and pledged ourselves to greater things. Our class sponsors for the year were Mrs. Nancy Huey and Mrs. H. S. Leafe. Class officers were President, Elizabeth Herion; Vice-President, Jane Culp; Treasurer, Paula Foil; and Secretary, Happy James. The high light of our Sophomore Year was an all-day trip to Raleigh, our state capital . In the fall of fifty-five, fifty-five members of the Junior Class focused their thoughts on the duties and responsibil ities of the coming year. Junior Class officers were President, Frances Eudy; Vice-President, Alvin Yorke; Treasurer, Dianne Mull is; and Secretary, Joe Mills. Class sponsors were Mrs. Kate Harbison and Miss Rosa James. The J unior-Senior Banquet, a highly anticipated event in the life of every Junior, was sponsored by Miss Rosa James and planned around the theme The Old South . We financed the banquet with a very successful project, selling magazine subscriptions. Lena Rivers, our Junior Class play, directed by Mrs. Kate Harbison, was presented on April 13th in the high school auditorium. Those taking part in the presentation were Evelyn Keziah, Alvin Yorke, Sue Foil, Paula Foil, Frances Eudy, Glenn Rimer, Elizabeth Herion, Jane Stallings, Merle Sollinger, Lucille Lambert, Harold Moser, Havis McDonald, and Joe Mills. At the close of school we enjoyed a Square Dance at Bear Creek Community Hut. With the closing of summer vacation we again entered the familiar halls of high school- This, our last year, offered opportunity, challenge, and reward. Miss Madge Sowell and Mrs. Kate Harbison were our class sponsors. Class officers for the year were Archie Vanhoy, President; Jane Stallings, Vice-President; Rachel Honeycutt, Secretary; and Joyce Moser, Treasurer. Under the direction of our sponsors the Senior Class presented its annual play, Oh, Promise Me, on November 16th . Membersof the play castwere Alvin Yorke, Harold Moser, Jane Stallings, Sue Foil, Jane Culp, Merle Sollinger, Elizabeth Herion, Shirley Auten, Dianne Mullis, Joe Mills, Paula Foil, and Margaret Rinehardt. In the spring the Junior-Senior Banquet and the class tripwere thoughtof with great anticipation and pride. Each offered its rewards and enjoyment to those soon to be graduating. Graduation, the day of reward, has arrived. And as we receive our diplomas, we silently pledge ourselves to a life of service to ourselves, to our community, and to our country.

Prophecy For Pete ' s pity ! I yelled. I thought old Constantine had forgotten about me . But there it was, al I down in black and white . You are cordially invited to attend The Inaugural Bal I Honoring the 47th President of the United States (None other them Archie Vanhoy) I rushed madly to my little husband and told him the magic news. Honey, guess what? Archie invited me to the Inaugural Ball; I ' m going to Washington! Before I knew it, the white dome of the city greeted my eyes, and I was a part of the thousands of people looking into the compassionate eyes of our next President. I plopped my bifocals info position and scanned the row of hotshots behind the«very distinguished Pr e s i d e n t -elect . Let ' s see, where is he? Oh, there ' s Lipe Barrier, Jr., the new Veep, and Alvin York, the Ambassador to France . I heard he ' s making out with those French dolls (the kind that doesn ' t break, that is!). And there ' s Merle Sollinger, Old Faithful . I remember when he took over Taft ' s position. Oh, I see JoeMills, Secretary of Defense. There ' s Elizabeth Herion beside him; she ' s the new Secretary of the Treasury . It ' s a shame that she had to give up her brilliant golf career because of that tragic accident. She had the tournament in the bag when she slipped and fell in the eighteenth hole while making her final putt. Oh, there ' s Jane Culp. She ' s the new secretary to the assistant to the assistant to the secretary of the under-secretary of Lower Slobovia . There are Joyce and Harold Moser, the new Toni Twins. Hello, I said. I ' ve been hearing so much about you two lately. By the way, which of you has the Toni? Oh, Harold, definitely, piped Joyce. Here, you can see for yourself, as they handed me their hair. From these two I made my way to the punch bowl . I craned my neck and whom should I see but Paula and Sue Foil . Believe it or not, I found that these two are heads of the world ' s biggest chlorophyll chewing gum plant. Their slogan is More chubs to the chew with Chickles. I turned to get my drink, and whom should I see but Joyce Sides. She told me that she and Troy Talley are playing on Broadway in A Kittycart Named Desire. People are saying their success is due to their topnofeh agent, Mary Ann Fisher, who takes only a modest 90% of their earnings. Oh, there ' s Evelyn Ballard, Rachel Honeycutt, Sue Linker, and Maye Eury . Gee, seems that everybody ' s getting the middle-age spread. Well, what are you four doing now? You ' re all looking. . .healthy. Modeling corsets, eh? Well, I ' m. sure you all fit in just fine . Glenn Rimer is directing the band! they yell-ed as they clobbered out of sight. Try to see him. I overheard that Bob Burris and Buddy Fisher have retired from pro fottball. Well, I guess they ' ve gone home to t h e i r chicken farms . Oh, guess what! Evelyn Keziah and Jean Doby ' s ballet troupe has been touring the continent for three years. But the top drawing cards are their p a r t n e r s , Clyde Drye and Max Cruse, in their version of the world famed ballet, Moby Dick. Getting back to football, Jim Brooks has just been made head coach at UNC, and he ' s taking Ray Cauble and Allan Moose as his assistants . Oh, I know you ' ll be glad to hear this. The four most famous Conover models are here: Alice Bost, Shirley Auten, Dianne Mullis, and Jane Stallings. They ' ve been modeling grass skirts for Jerry Hammill ' s T. V. program. You know Jerry took over Authur Godfrey ' s show when old Carrot-top kicked the bucket. Jerry always has such educational programs . There ' s Frances Eudy over there. She ' s taken over Louella Parson ' s column, so if you want more gossip just say Hey to her and she ' ll give you the juicy tidbits. By the wuy, Fletcher Vickers is going ro warble a few tunes, but he sounds horrible with false teeth. Well, did you know Margaret Ann Rinehardt has formed an old maids ' club? Yes, she finally gave up at last. And here ' s some juicy news: Wayne Miller is President of Queens College and he ' s still a bachelor. Audrey Walker, Edith Boger, and Nancy Smith are embalmers at a funeral home. They always did love to work with people. And talking about people, ! read the other day that W i I s o n Baucom, Wayne F u r r and Diqkey Mil Is are model ing for Physique Magazine! By the way, did you know that Havis McDonald ' s hair has changed color? He couldn ' t bear having it the same color all of the time, so he started using Tintair. That didn ' t work, so now he ' s mixing house paints. He looks terrible with shartreuse hair . Eddie Shoe and Robert Isenhour are getting in the higher income brackets with their Air-Wick Fac iry. Jerry Tucker was crowned National Champion Flagpole Sitter just last week. He always was good at sitting on the job. Dear Reader, it all sounds screwy, doesn ' t it? Well, it is! So if you ' ll pardon me. I ' ll get back to my cell at Morganton. They ' ll be waiting for me. Writ by the Tiand of Gail Faggart Inmate-et-Large
