It seems we are all here for the same reason. Peggy Bone, a concert pianist, is to give a repeat performance. They say the Met is her second home. After a grand performance we will leave the Met and return to the studio for a while. The red light is blinking in Studio B. Gracious! None other than Barbara Bennett and jane Dickens. They are called The Rosy Two. Arthur Godfrey should see these girls! We return to Studio A to find a report that just came in saying Henry Ford's business is dropping fast due to a new car called Hiccup. It has just been released by the two proud owners, Tommy Breedlove and Ronald Sykes. They say it doesn't run on gas. Well? We are pleased to announce that coach of the year, Stuart LeCroy and manager Ray Joyner will be back with us after training this year. We are also glad to announce that Shirley Vandiford, one of our employees here, has just recently become America's new typing champion. Good girl to have around! We had a very welcome visitor with us tonight. Lee Roy jones just came in from Georgia where he auctioned off some mighty fine tobacco. We learn from him that Alvin Nelms and Maxie Davis own the warehouses from which he auctioned. The New York Times featured many interesting things in its society page today. Mrs. Freddie Leonard, formerly Miss Ellene Drake, gave a very festive luncheon in honor of three prospective debs. They are, as you have probably guessed, Misses Agnes Bell, Barbara Taylor, and Barbara Lancaster. The floral arrangements were fixed by Mrs. Leonard's very good friend, Mrs. james Powell, formerly Miss Eloise Rice of Castalia. Let's leave Radio City for just a while and see whats happening in Nashville, North Carolina. Here we find Elaine Coggin and Carrie Mae Daniels running a very successful beauty shop. Yep, always knew those girls would come out at the head. As long as we are this far we will travel on to Wilson where we find Miss Adele Joyner, now Mrs. R. L. Edwards, with her days full caring for her two children. We hear from Sally Alford, our news reporter at Wilson, that Martha Womble, now Mrs. Farmer, is doing great work for charity at her home in Wilson. Let's leave Wilson now and return to our home here in Radio City. In the literary category, a new magazine has attracted everyones attention. The Erquirette is edited by Dorothy Matthews. She always did like to make news and now she has her hands full! The art editor is none other than Betty Medlin using as her fashion model, Joyce Rackley.

This assemblage consisted of all types from those hardly weaned from their mothers' apron strings to those anxious to show their courage in a new adventure. Under the direction of Lucille Credle we learned to work and play together. The next few years passed rather uneventfully. Then came that long awaited day when we entered high school. Outgof the original sixty-four only twenty-four remained, but thirty-two new students, coming mostly from Castalia, Oak Level and Griffins, joined our group to make us fifty-four strong. The freshman year with its freshness, fears, and attainment of prospectus was quickly gone and likewise the Sophomore days which we passed as lords of domain. Then came the junior year. The first big event of this year was getting those class rings we had waited eleven years for. Remember how proud we were! Next was our play. Under the direction of Mrs. Anne P. Key we gave Stficlly Formal. It was a big success and we really felt that our efforts were justified. Finally came our biggest event-the junior-Senior banquet and dance. The class was very thrilled over the new lunchroom which pro- vided adequate accommodations for our banquet. We held our dance in the High School Gymnasium. In decorating, we carried out our theme Evening In Paris. The scenery which depicted scenes in Paris was sketched by our class artists Sally Black- well and Ellene Leonard. Little did we realize when we came back to school in the fall of 1955 that this year would end those wonderful memories of dear ole N. H. S. Our Sponsors for this year were Mrs. Margaret Williams and Miss Mildred Smith. For our Senior Play we gave Mother If A Frefhman. Most of this year was spent raising funds for our annual which came out in the spring. Out of forty-five Seniors that graduated only twenty-two belonged to the original sixty-four that entered the first grade in 1942. And thus endeth the history of the class. judging from the past, the class has every reason to hope for a bright future. We were Frerbmen green. flml Soplaomorer bold. Then !747Zi01'.f meek.
