SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY It has repeatedly been mentioned to us that individuals change with the times. As we look into the present day lives of those mighty Seniors of 1964. We find it took ten years to calm Ann Kay Brickhouse and Andrea Fox ' s temper. They are presently employed at the School of Temper Control which is owned by Burliegh Morris and Hattie Wynn. Although time changes many characters there are always exceptions -- that being Marga Rogers. She has a column for the Lovelorn which replaces the Dear Abbey columns which were once so popular. Marga ' s many love affairs make her advice authoritative, Arthur Wynder is still making nets. He along with Alfonzo Cottrell, Joel Trower, Barrie Nock, and Man¬ chester Cottrell have organized a basketball team which they call the Northampton Moon Trotters. They were exiled from Earth because they lost all their games for three seasons. To help those disappointed spectators at the Moon Trotters game, we have the cheerful nurses Roberta White and Dornell Bailey sent from the Mooncraters Clinic owned by Doctors Charles Trower and Cornelius Bailey, Will our nation retrogress or progress with William House as our newly elected President? He has called a special meeting. Expected at this meeting is Grover Fields, Secretary of Labor; Bobby Jones, Secretary of Defense; and Anthony Mitchell, Secretary of Agriculture. The President ' s Private Secretary Stella White greeted Prime Minister Isaac Smaw at Cape Charles Airport in the absence of the President. Willie Smith is thrilling audiences everywhere with his eloquent oratory on his crusade for Better Speech Teachers, Delores Collins would receive many patients from Smith ' s audiences if she only practiced psychiatry here instead of on the moon. When asked why she chose the moon she replied, I thought I ' d come in contact with more way-out- people up there. Our Art Courses are proving to be beneficial. We have as curators of the National Art Gallery in Washington, D.C, Eugene Downing and Rudolph Smith. We also have Julius Copes and Roscoe Brickhouse busy painting attractive billboards. They got their experience by painting bulletin boards at Northampton County High. Hot off the press is Michael Walker ' s lates book, How I Captured Frankenstein, He has as his secretaries LaVerne Sample and Evelyn Stevens. Eor styles and fashions the class of ' 64 produced many geniuses. Carolyn Bailey, Sharlteen Lewis, Winifred James, Rosa Reid, Gloria Harmon, Fannie Upshur, and Faye Corney who willed their exciting hair creations to members of the Junior Class when they graduated are finally putting their abilities to work for them. They have established the world ' s largest beauty salon. When all these heads get together, fabulous creations always result. Dressing finer than ever we have Reuben Press, Thomas Stratton, Thomas Graves as models at Curtis Alexander ' s Exclusive Men ' s Shop. A special bulletin from radio station WABC, recently purchased by Theodore Allen, Melvin Brickhouse, and Larry Corney. Ronald Evans has disproved the report coming from the Cancer Committee. His co-workers are Persis Rowley, Welton Burton, and Christine Spady. The newsmen and announcers for WABC are Harry Doggett, Lorenza Dixon, Ethel Spady, Martha Gunter, Irvin Scarborough, and Thomas Smith, They are making so much money they have hired McKinley Outlaw and William Rowley to count their money. Entertainment in once dry Northampton seems to be booming. Singers Charles Sample, Preston Simpkins, Earl Powell, and the Spady Twins called the BUGS are touring the U. S. and are scheduled to perform at Cherry Cocktail Lounge. Charles Doggett ' s chorus girls, Nancy Dunton, Lois Morris, Sudie Davis, Mary Dixon, Patty James, and Ella Giddens, although, they make a short line, they seem to be a main attraction, Shirley Press is presently employed as a cigaret girl at Martha Spady ' s Stork Club where Linwood Bailey, Barrie Townsend, Joseph Taylor, and Joseph Jones are performing their new comedy act. Other stars for the entertain¬ ment world — Mary Bailey, Jenaette Johnson, Ivey Stanford, John Henry Smaw, and Christopher ' Wynder replace the old actors on Amos ' n ' Andy. Lois Burton, Irene Giddens, and Hazel Marrow have established a 24-hour diet for gaining weight quickly. To Kay Griffin goes the credit of the newly invented gadget, Get Ready On Time Clock. This device will help her to be on time when she has her first date with a Martian who has captured her interest. Mary Weeks, a most successful bridal counselor in Peebles Department Store failed to complete her own wedding plans -- she forgot a groom. Her disappointed bridesmaids were Sarah Sheppard, Margaret Hallett, Christine Peed, Abrian Smaw, and Brenda Ames. They all had planned to wear yellow dresses designed by the one and only Charles Nottingham, Ernest Joyner with all of his might has converted Willie Lewis and Nathan Thomas to close their mouths and reserve their thoughts. Another form of conversion was done by Pope Preston Burgess X just last week -- the bringing in of Ellis Warren, James Weeks , and Harry Sample from the sinful world and appointing them as C ardinals. In front of Robert Downing ' s Hardware Store, Leonard Sewell busies himself shining shoes regularly. He especially likes to shine shoes for Willie Henderson and William Lewis because theirs are so dirty, probably from riding the range. The Northampton County High School spirit was helpful to Odessa Morris, For her recently established cheer¬ ing squad, she has been voted No. 1. Her fame was reached with her strong disciplinary of giving orders for when, where, and how to do certain yells. As time and life will eventually come to a close, so must this paper. Who knows the class of ' 64 may be changed by time once more. So goes the saying -- Nothing is constant but constant change, Ann Kay Brickhouse 26

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Class of 1964, entered Northampton County High School in September of 1959. We were the first class under the twenty-unit plan for graduation. We were divided into five sections alphabetically. Our assigned homeroom teachers were Mrs. E. U. Jones, Mrs. M. D. Cherry, Mr. V. Adair, Miss Braxton and Mrs. B. M. Ervin. During our Freshman Year we began to get the feel of the high school. Mrs. L. U. Kornegay, Mr. W. T. Sisco and Mr. C. Brickhouse were our homeroom teachers. We were well represented in the Science and Math Conference by Ann Kay Brickhouse, Domell Bailey and Burleigh Morris, who won first, third and fourth places in mathematics respectively. In September 1961, we entered a new school term. We were finally Sophomores. Our homeroom teachers were Mr. C. Brickhouse, Miss C. King, Mrs. L. U. Kornegay and Miss F. J. Stephenson. We met again in September of 1962, only this time we were Juniors. We were prepared to work diligently with our homeroom sponsors Mr. Nelson Townsend, Mrs. A. W. Smith and Miss C. King. We sponsored a delightful Junior-Senior Prom for the Seniors. Kay Griffin won the oratorical contest given by the English Department. Delores Collins was elected as Miss Basket¬ ball and Bobby Jones as Mr. Basketball. At last we are seniors. Mrs. S. Phifer, Mr. E. Bush, Jr. and Mr. Odis Kornegay are our sponsors. Two young ladies have represented us as Miss Homecoming and May Day Queen. They are Marga Rogers and Stella White. We would like to thank our parents, principal and our homeroom sponsors for making our stay at Northampton County High School meaningful. SENIOR CLASS POEM Northampton High, now we must part. With memories of you deep in our hearts. We will always honor this building that stands, For you have given all you can. We hate to say farewell to thee. But we must go, as you can see. Time is coming and will not wait. So now we must meet the open gate. To the Alma Mater of Northampton County High, We will praise thee as our morning star. It is for us to always know. That it was you that helped us grow. Our time with you is almost gone. We know you ' ll always be our friend. We all say Dear Old Northampton High Farewell, Farewell, Good-by, good-by.
