Page funjor Class Hsfory When we began our high school career in 1942, our class, Wfith seventy-three members, was one of the largest in the history of the school. Naturally, we were subjected to the customary razzing which is all a part of being a freshman. We were good sports, fhowever, and soon we took our places as the future leaders of N. C. T. H. S. This year we chose as our officers the following people: Audrey Stephens, Presidentg Paul Bishop, Vice-Presidentg and Lenora Haynes, Secre- tary-Treasurer. Pauline Poole, Kenneth Doerner, and Billy Summers were our representatives on the Student Council. In September, 1943, when we started our sophomore year in high school, our membership had decreased to sixty-one. Though we had lost some of our members, we still retained the honor of being the largest class in school. We chose to guide us through our silly sopho- more year Evelyth McArthy as President, Kathryn Boyd as Vice- President, and Betty Gwaltney as Secretary-Treasurer. We chose for representatives to the Student Council Christine Turpin, Pauline Poole, and Frank Bayley. Well, here we are, living up to the name of jolly juniors. And, though we don't want you to think we're boasting, we're still the largest class in school! Our officers this year are Kenneth Doerner, Presidentg Mary Beth Renshaw, Vice-Presidentg and Kathryn Boyd, Secretary- Treasurer. We are well represented on the Student Council by Frank Bayley, Evelyth McArthy, and Charles Greer. We have enjoyed being a part of N. C. T. H. S., and we are looking forward to taking our places as sophisticated seniors.

H. J. PHELPS CE:-recutorl 'Signed--KXJ--lThe Seniorsl. Witnesses: Robylee Hill Lucille Chisum Mary Ruth Coffman CLASS PROPHECY Norris City, Illinois, May 9, 1955. Dear Lucille: I was so glad to hear from you. It's been so long since I've heard from any of our class. I'm so glad you like your work in the Old Folks' Home at Danville, and I think it's so nice that you and Jack could both get a job tllere. Y-ou surely are for- tunate in finding someone to stay with your children while you work. Help is so hard to get now. Howard has been trying for so long to get someone to help us on the farm, but it just seems impossible. Right now he's milking, and Junior is playing with the little neighbor boy. It isn't often I have a moment to myself. The life of a farmer's wife is surely tiresome. You asked me to tell you what all' the people in our class are doing now. Well, I'll do my best. Plumadell Bell is now a private detective. 'She recently was hired by Gloria Glamarr to catch 'a thief who stole her diamond bracelet. Gloria Glamarr, you know, is none other than Beulah McKenzie. Beulah changed her name when she got into movies. In her latest picture, she plays opposite Glen Harris. The name of the picture is Glen Harris's Bl-onde Trouble. Glen is to the young girls of today what Van Johnson was back in 1945. One of his pictures is playing a return engagement at the Gossett Theatre in Gossett. This theatre is owned and managed by Virginia Cox. She has really made a fortune in the theatre business. She owns a twenty-eight-room mansion in Gossett. Another member of our class who has become famous is Marie Edwards. I know you've heard of her success. She is now the world's champion figure skater. She won the title from Sonja Henie in the Olympics held in Moscow last year. Speaking of famous people, Floyd Williams and his Bear Creek Bear-Cats are now playing at the Stork Club in New York. Floyd really gives out on those drums. Wilma Gidcumb is the featured vocalist with Floyd's orchestra. She's really giving Dinah Shore some stiff competition. Betty Bruce is now in her sixth year of teaching home economics in the Sacra- mento High School. Carl Doerner still lives here in Norris City. Yes, he's married to that gi-rl who was a junior when he was a senior. Heand his wife have assumed fContinued on Page 511 Page Seventeen
