Arlene, Elaine, and Patricia are private detectives in their spare time. They have established a firm classed WHAP, Inc. The city police department is trying to force them to go out of business. Somehow they always get the innocent people into more trouble than the guilty ones. Joyce, Brenda, and Betty are models for Vogue. They seem to have a lot of luck in getting free trips abroad-last year they went all the way across New York Bay by ferry. ' Over on Broadway we found Nadine Helms. Nadine has become the best known redhead since Lucille Ball. At the Metropolitan we found Judy Hill who has become a very famous singer. Judy has recently returned from a tour of France. While in Paris she saw Wayne Cole and Jimmy Allred. Wayne, she told us, has become one of the most famous hair stylists in the world. Men from every country travel to Paris to let Wayne style their hair. Jimmy Allred had taken over the Dior House. He designs women ' s clothes. He changed the name of the very famous fashion house from Dior to Jimmy ' s Originals. Jimmy had recently made wearing sequined weejuns with semi-formal gowns stylish. On the way from New York to Hollywood we stopped off at the Juliard School of Music where we found Elaine Huneycutt. Elaine recently married the famous Van Cliburn. She said that she never sees him but she has his baby grand to keep her company. In Hollywood, Ronnie Watson had just completed a movie called I Was A Teen-Age Molecule. The movie is about a typical teenager who drives a hot rod and has a wild voice. Soon his talent is discovered and he becomes a teenage idol. He is stabbed at the end of the picture by a jealous girlfriend. Interesting? Sonny Parker was the writer and director of this picture. This was his second movie. The first one, entitled Meanwhile, Back in Alaska , cleared over six hundred million dollars. The studio received this money from Texas for not showing it. The Texans were afraid that everybody that saw it would move to Alaska. The beauticians in the Metro Studio were Linda Hudson, Linda Gale Lunsford, and Virginia Carol Spivey. These girls are famous for many new hair styles. The most popular of these styles is called the Baby Look. This new style is the easiest in the world to manage. You see, they shave your head and you look like a baby. Now, that ' s style, isn ' t it? The real baby doll of movies is our own little Loraine Harkey. Loraine is greatly publicized as the sweetest and quietest movie queen that ever came out of Hollywood. Loraine has made several tremendously successful movies. All of these pictures have been about a dog. Loraine always was close to Comet! At Malibu, California, we found two more ' 63 graduates. At any time of the day you ' ll find Debbie Morgan on the beach painting. Debbie has recently sold a portrait called the Modern Mona Lisa. The only difference in the Modern Mona Lisa and the Original Mona Lisa is that the modern one doesn ' t have a mysterious smile. As a matter of fact, she doesn ' t have a smile at all. This is simply because she doesn ' t have a mouth. Debbie ' s model for this picture talked all the time, so she painted her mouth shutJ The other ' 63 graduate in Malibu is Joan Bizuk. Joan is a professional skin diver. She dives every day trying to find some kind of whale skin. She is trying to prove that whales shed. We now traveled toward the east making our first stop in Las Vegas, Nevada. Here Paul Laton is employed as a certified public accountant for the city. Henry Caudle and Joey Cresswell were in this city, too. They are joint owners of a small casino. They only make about $2, 000 a week. On basketball nights, Henry flies to Duke to see the ball games. Since graduation he has played professionally with the Las Vegas Packers-but makes more money gambling. Gary Lowder also lives in Nevada. He has the biggest chicken ranch in the West. In Texas, Donnie Rummage has just uncovered the world ' s largest oil well. Donnie now drives a big Cadillac and swims in his six hundred foot swimming pool. Darrell Cody constructed Donnie ' s well, so he, too, is rolling in money. New Orleans is the home of several graduates. Sherry Burleson teaches English in the French Quarter. Nancy Poole teaches the first grade in one of the public schools. Willie Mae Loflin owns an exclusive restaurant here, with Lynn Huneycutt as the chief entertainer and cook. Charles Whitley was stationed in Memphis, Tennessee, with the U. S. Navy. He is trying to fix all of the ship radios so that they will pick up the Dick Biondi show, Pete Terry is a welder in Santa ' s Workshop located in Memphis. In Mississippi, we found that Grady Burris and Eddie Burris were joint managers of the Winn-Dixie Food Stores, Reggie Lowder is the president of the Mississippi Show Boat Company. He is trying to revive culture in the South. Well, it was time to go to Florida. At Fort Lauderdale we found Mary Fisher and Pat Huneycutt both happily married. Mary has written a book called, High School Daze. The book tells all about the troubles of a yearbook editor. Pat is busy taking care of her three little boys. She was recently named, Mother of the Year. Linda Hatley was a lawyer in Miami. They said she talked so much that criminals confessed just to have some peace and quiet. Evola Furr is Linda ' s private secretary. Poor Evola never talks anymore. She doesn ' t have a chance. Cape Canaveral was our last stop. Here we found that Kenneth Gilbert, Bobby Misenheimer, and Ronnie Huneycutt were the chief mechanics on a new rocket. Air Force Captain Tony Ridenhour was the commanding officer of this project. Beth Russell, Helen Almond, and Frances Ingram were secretaries in Captain Ridenhour ' s office. Brenda Morton was the head nurse at the base hospital. Sue Dewey was the head mathematician. If she adds right the project will be a success. If not. . .let ' s don ' t think about it. Linny Sells was the chief technician for Project Mars. Tony Frick was the electronics engineer. Peggy Palmer is Tony ' s chief consultant, Paul Turner was in charge of the countdown. It began 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. . .Blast Off! Inside the rocket, which sailed into space, we found Eric Lefko and Buddy Wrenn, who are still inseparable. Quietly waving were Jo Beck and Ellen Flake. Jo was an X-ray technician. Ellen was covering the story for the Canaveral Trails . Suddenly Jo screamed, Wait Buddy! You forgot your peanut butter! The last thing to appear on the time-machine was a cloud of smoke streaming from the rocket saying, We shall return. Will we be like this in 1973? ELLEN FLAKE Prophetess 40

f- to pit The last notes of Auld Lang Syne drifted through the crowded auditorium down the halls, and into the star-dusted May night. We — the graduating seniors — in our Carolina blue caps and gowns filed out of the auditorium with mixed emotions. North Stanly had just witnessed its first graduation exercise— the gradu- ation of the class of 1963. As we seniors walked silently out of the auditorium we heard a loud noise booming over the intercom. The noise, we found out later, was Comet barking furiously. We all ran into the office. There sitting in a chair was Dr. Peabody — you all remember Dr. Peabody and Sherman on the Joey the Clown show, don ' t you? Sitting next to the microphone was Comet, our beloved mascot. Dr. Peabody then spoke in his best television voice, You all know me as Dr. Peabody. Now I ' d like to introduce you to my able assistant, Sherman — I believe all of you know him as Comet. As Dr. Peabody told us this, Comet proudly wagged his tail and put on his glasses. The glasses seemed to throw some magic spell over Comet, enabling him to speak in a human voice and to assume a human body. Comet said, intelli- gently, I ' ve been trying to tell you all year that I am Sherman. Now that you know it, I want to give you your graduation present. I have to have Dr. Peabody ' s assistance in giving you this present. Dr. Peabody, take over if you please. We were all so utterly appalled that we just stared with our mouths opened wide. Immediately Dr. Peabody arose and led us to the cafeteria. Sitting in the middle of the floor was Dr. Peabody ' s famed time-machine. Comet— that is, Sherman — turned a few knobs, and all of a sudden, we were in 1973 taking a look at the future. The first thing we saw when we looked into the time-machine viewer was an enlarged copy of the Washington Herald. The headlines of the paper read: Former High School Classmates Are Finalists In The Ivlrs. America Pageant. We read the column completely. The column began: Mrs. Sue Bruton, Mrs. Belinda Giordano, Mrs. Ann Whitley, Mrs. Shelia Britt, Mrs. Linda Miller, Mrs. Kay Stallings, and Mrs. Judy Rose Hartsell have been selected as the finalists in the Mrs. America Pageant. These women graduated from North Stanly High in New London, North Carolina, with the class of 1963. The 1973 pageant is being held in the backyard of the White House. It seems that the finalists have close connections with our recently elected United States President, Travis Venters. You see, Travis was the president of their senior class. As we traveled through Washington, D. C. we stopped in at the First National Bank, only to find bank president Don Bell sitting in the tremendous safe counting the money. One of the clerks told us that Don spends the nights locked up in the safe protecting the money. We then moved to Congress where we saw Janie Burleson, Lady Senator. Close by Janie ' s side was her ever faithful husband, Jimmy Tucker. Jimmy is Janie ' s chief secretary— he keeps all the other secretaries in line. As we visited the House of Representatives, we found Joe Wagoner. Joe is serving as the chief speaker of the House. He has the loudest mouth of them all! Senator Oden S. Burris ' officers close by. Oden — that is Butch — breaks a pair of glasses a day so he won ' t have to do any work. He just sits around eating chocolate covered cherries and listening to Carol Barrier read science-fiction books to him. (Carol was teaching President Venters ' children until Butch asked him to fire her). As we left Washington we took a detour by the Chesapeake Bay where we find Shelton Whitley ' s boat shop. Shelton has recently built the world ' s largest submarine. No one ever saw the ship. You see, Jerry Hathcock and Johnny Thomas took it out for a trial run and haven ' t returned. Shelton explained that he had put four-in-the-floor to make the submarine dive, but had forgotten to tell the boys that he had put four-in-the-ceiling to make it surface. Wesley Wyatt is also employed in the Bay area. During the afternoon he drives his new ' 73 Chevrolet up and down a barge that floats on the bay. At night he is employed as a fog horn— Wesley is yelling even louder now trying to reach Jerry and Johimy. Last week Wesley ' s employers had to hire Barry Cooper, Don Floyd, and Ricky Rogers to help Wesley yell for the lost boys. From the shores of the Chesapeake we traveled to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. On the staff we found Anne Greene and Kay Redwine, who are employed as X-ray technicians. Anne and Kay fight constantly over who will get to work with the young interns. Kay, at last report, had the upper hand. It seems that she ' s had more experience with the younger men. Anne doesn ' t seem to mind, though, because Louis is nearby. From Baltimore we moved to the Indianapolis Speedway. There we found Sandra Brown. Sandy is the greatest race driver since Fireball Roberts. She always has had respect for Roberts ' mean ' 62 Pontiac— but her Pontiac is even meaner. Sandra ' s chief mechanic is Polly Simpson. Polly spends her spare time polishing jelly beans. Last year she won the award for being the world ' s fastest jelly bean polisher. Upon leaving Indianapolis we zoomed down South to the good ' ole Tarheel State. Our first stop is at Duke University where we found quite a few of the NSHS alumni. The first person we saw was Libby Dry. Libby is the head coach of Duke ' s basketball team. Duke won the national championship this year and Libby won the trophy for being the nation ' s number-one coach. A spokesman for the university made the following comment: Libby, that is Miss I3ry, certainly knows how to handle those boys. Ken Aughtry and Dickie Clayton are Libby ' s star players. You may wonder why they ' re still playing. Well, they get sick after every basketball season and have to drop out of school. Then as soon as fall rolls around, they miraculously recover and go back to school. They have inside connections, too, since Dwight Lowder is the president. Dwight is the youngest university president in the nation. On Duke ' s teaching staff we found Dr. Nita Bryson Clayton, head of the French Department; Dr. Carol Dick, head of the English Department; Dr. Jane Saunders, head of the Art Department; Dr. Patty Doby, head of the Home Economics Department; and Dr. Mitzie Vanhoy, head of the Business Department. From Duke we traveled to Wake Forest College and the Bowman-Gray School of Medicine. Here we found Judy Hatley who is in charge of the School of Nursing. Also, in Winston isBurrell Manerwho has never been far from Judy ' s side. Burrell is the president of Maner ' s Trucking Firm. Burrell ' s chief diesel mechanic is Bill Coggin. Fred Morton and Johnny Hall also work for Burrell. Next on our list of colleges was North Carolina State. At State, Dr. Allen Herlocker is in charge of the Department of Agriculture. Usually Dr. Herlocker stays at home to baby sit and lets his wife, Nodghia, teach his classes. All of his students call him Daddy Herlocker. Does that sound familiar? Our next destination was New York. Jim Howewas making the front page of the New York Times every day. He had recently replaced the Univac machine. His intelligence highly exceeds any other man on earth. Also in New York were many of North ' s graduates who were secretaries. Personal secretaries at the United Nations Building are Donna Plowman, Elaine Almond, Arlene Whitley, Betty Eudy, Betty Lou Williams, Myrtle Johnson, Joyce Burris, Brenda Almond, and Patricia Troutman. These girls were doing very well for themselves— especially in their spare time. Betty Lou and Myrtle are guides for the city of New York. They are in charge of guided tours through the Statue of Liberty. Last week they lost fifty people. Someone closed the door to the stairway leading to the torch. Those poor bafflecl people spent the night in the torch. 39
