Glass ilgoem Twelve years ago in thirty-seven We came to thee with childhood fears. Fearing, expectant, never surmising the joys Awaiting us in all our school years. Through the grades we went until We found ourselves in the fall of '45. Faced with choosing our high school course, We chose the goal for which to strive. With anticipation we entered this new life Seeking friends, education, and fun, too. VVe found all we sought in dear N. C. As we braved the winds which blew. We tried our courage in sports and Learned much more than how to play. You taught us good sportsmanship - the golden rule That solves life's problems and eases our way. Our class dances, parties and plays Have all come and gone too fast. Our dreams for these four years Once in the future, now lie in the past. We pause now with due gratitude To thank and praise our teachers dear. More than anything or anyone, they have been Our greatest assct with advice sincere. We have dreamed our dreams, voiced our hopes Now we must harken to the graduation bell For all too soon in forty-nine. The time has come for our farewell. We leave thy cherished classrooms and halls, But in heart and mind we shall ever be aware Of thy constant inspiring presence as we Keep Climbing, For We Are Not Yet There. Dorothy Staverosky

Qlass prophecy T'was the year of 1969 As a newspaper columnist, my job was fine. From New York to Chicago it was my luck to go, And I traveled by train because of the snow. I boarded the train and reclined in a seat. Equipped with paper, my trip was complete. Within a few minutes I was on my way, The trip was long, the day was gray. Reading my paper I was soon attracted by This startling headline as it caught my eye: Mr, Wilson Yerger, chemist, winner of Nobel Prize. Among other things, he has invented artificial eyes. Interrupted in my reading by a short screech, I glanced outside, to see within reach - An advertising car driven by Robert Fries. It seems all Bob has to do is ride in ease. Now back to my paper I went once again To learn of the loss of the industry of airplane. Both Beryl Read and Mary Casper profess They've tired of the job of airline hostess. Dean of a Woman's College to Marry Nancy Swavely's past and future surely will vary. From a woman suffragette she will become The blushing bride of some handsome one. I see that Mr. William Zerr is using his A's He got in mechanical drawing for displays. He is now printing titles on bedtime books About talking animals and running brooks. Well, of all the businesses, here I see One that holds, for me, no mystery. Gloria Shrum and Marlene Wilson, this spring Are turning to the manufacturing of a diamond ring. I see in this ad that a concert is to be Held by a master pianist of the key. Mr. John Leck is performing tonight After winning fame, much to our delight. Mlle. J. LaRue Care, importer and designer of frocks To Janice, for gowns the wealthy society flocks. After being a secretary in the industry of 'phone- She now dictates to one of her own. Venice Eagle in Japan is teaching school Showing the wee Japs the golden rule. She has taken Mr. George Kreps' place Who now is working on a soil case. Benny Powell, our hero, wrestles tonight In the greatest of all twentieth century fights. He is under the training of Janet Thompson Who gets his opponents at the point of a gun. Although she has children of her own - two - LaVerne Anderson is governess to - guess who? Yes, she's teaching the President's little girl, The art of living in a social whirl. Miss Florence Pennypacker now owns a meat truck Delivering the best in all kinds of duck. It seems she learned the trade while in school, Delivering meat drawn by a mule. Robert Evans, who was a student in F.F.A., Now struts around in fine array. After graduating from school, he bought a patch For which, today, there is no match.
