SS PIIIIPII CY As I look out into the future lives of the 1952 Senior Class, I see Robena Blackmon in her modern all electric kitchen. Just as she takes the burnt biscuits from the oven, Grifton walks in with a frown on his face, because he has to wait still longer for dinner. Well, Ray is still at home, working. Oh, I see, he is plowing a forty-acre field. Gosh, who's that stopping at the end of the field on a new Ford? Yes, it is Eleanor. She has stopped to finish getting their wedding plans. In a studio of learning, a noble radio announcer, Bill Stuckey, tells the people about the latest hit tunes. Now he is dedicating a song to his old classmates and their Senior Sponsor. Yes, you guessed it. The title of the song is Birmingham Jail. Sam Hall, with his ability to make things that will always work, is now manager of a television firm. He supervises the making of TV sets. I can hardly see Louphemia, but I can tell that she is wearing a fur coat and leading two small chil- dren. You bet, she finally went to Alaska and married her long-waited for boy-friend. I see Dorothy and her loving husband, Charles, at one of the largest farms in Wayne County. They are driving a new Buick. Who is that I see with a BIBLE? Oh yes, it is Arabella, proclaiming the Gospel to the foreign people. Melvin is standing near by with their baby. I hear music. Who could it be? None other than Elga, singing at Church. Franklin is sitting on the front seat, waiting, as he has often done before. ' Hip, hay!-I, 2, 3, 4! Fall In! Marchl- I, 2, 3, 4i Gene Lamm finally got drafted. He marches con- tinually from morning until night, since he didn't have to walk any in high school. You know, going down stairs for an excuse so he could enter class. I see Mary Lois doing the week's ironing for her Mother. She doesn't have but five more minutes to finish, because she finally has a date with Linwood. She need not worry though, because Linwood will surely be late. Click, click, click, click. Jean Creel is typing away. She is secretary for a private business firm. Jean still has a pleasing disposition. David and Charlie have gone into the farming profession together. Someone asked them how they became so successful. They replied, We owe it to the math, geometry and algebra we learned in high school. Whoop! I Jimmy, don't be so harsh with those boys! They couldn't help it if they lost the game. Absolutely, Jimmy is a baseball coach, and he really loves to argue with the Umpire. His actions are explained by the fact, that he has lust been called to active duty in the Air Force at San Francisco, Cal. John 3:16. Frances Gay has finished her four years at the Free Will Baptist Bible College in Nash- ville, Tennessee and she is now a religious worker in her local church. Her much devoted husband helps her in her work. Gene Edgerton appears on TV shows all over the country, as he demonstrates to the world his ability to sing. In his spare time, Gene thrills the girls with his flirty ways as he did back at dear old Nahunta. I can't see Frances Robbins doing a thing, but relaxing on her front porch. She is living in a white house in the city limits of Goldsboro. Her husband works at Dewey Brothers, and naturally, he brings in the grub. Donald Scott with his ability to work geometry and algebra is now a professor at N. C. State. He is an Engineering Teacher. All the boys in his class iust love the way he always wonders from the topic of discussion. Ernestine is still as quiet and neat as she always was. She is a beautician in her own modern beauty parlor. She dearly loves her work. After many years of weary and wonder, Bettie Lou has finally finished her four-year Home Eco- nomics Course and she has reached her destination in marriage. That is, to that low, black-headed basketball coach, Norwood Talton. Now, Betsy is resting in peace, reckoning her troubles away with Shorty, Jr. WRITTEN BY: Bettie Lou Bunn.
