We all remember clearly our feelings of awe, expectation, and nervousness as we began our high school careers under the guidance of Mr. O. D. Rowe, who was our homeroom teacher. We elected for officers of our class: Dick Cuthbertson, President; Billy Spainhour, Vice-President; Billy Galloway, Secretary; and Ervin Cloer, Treasurer. We, the freshmen, had no trouble getting recognition. Unfortunately, those words were not always of praise. With forty members, we were the largest class in high school,and we merited the reward of being called the “Green Freshmen.” The year was soon gone and all at once we were Sophomores. Our homeroom teacher was Miss Patricia Jaynes, who remained with us through our Junior year. We elected our officers with Mildred Henson, President; Charles Clark, Vice-President; Jim Acuff, Secretary; and Dick Cuthbertson, Treasurer. We began a campaign to raise money for our Junior-Senior trip. This year we left some of our freshman actions behind and got a touch of what being grown-up is like. We enjoyed the year and looked forward to being Juniors. Our third year was filled with many experiences. One was the raising of funds for our trip that spring; another was the planning of the Junior-Senior Banquet, the theme of which was a trip to Holiday Inn. That spring our dream was realized as we went to Daytona Beach, a trip which we all enjoyed immensely. Our summer vacation was over swiftly and soon our long-awaited senior year had arrived. Miss Jean Wells is our homeroom teacher; and the officers are Dick Cuthbertson, President; Billy Spainhour, Vice-President; Billy Gal- loway, Secretary; and Ervin Cloer, Treasurer. This year is filled with many pleasures and moments to remember, such as the Senior play, our class rings, the Junior-Senior Banquet, and finally graduation. We look forward to graduation feeling both joyful and sad, but with each of us knowing his future depends on many of the things learned while a student of Oak Hill High School. . ERVIN CLOER, Historian Class Prophecy It is an early summer morning of 1966. As I start to get in the pilot’s seat of my private jet, I wonder if I should take that cross-country hop or have more of a leisure day—maybe I could do some of those odd jobs around the field I have been meaning to do for so long. “Give yourself a break,” I seem to say to myself. I slowly take the seat, lean back, close my eyes; and as I so often do, I begin thinking of my classmates of 1956 at Oak Hill School. Several weeks ago when I was in New York, I saw Dick Cuthbertson pitching ball for the Yankees. I thought all the time he was a Dodger fan! And who was it carrying water for the Yankees? Why, it was Ervin Chester, of course. Tough luck, Charles Clark! I see you didn’t make it, so I guess you will have to be satisfied with your bakery. On that same day as I was walking down Fifth Avenue, I noticed the windows were filled with the latest fash- ions designed by Sylvia P. McMahan. As I turned the corner, and a few blocks down, through a cafe window I saw Ada Jean Orders serving coffee and hot dogs to the truck drivers. It’s hard to tell the boys from the girls these days. Down the street, I saw Nina Harris dressed in a WAVE uniform. A black and white Studebaker whizzed by with a Chevrolet hooked behind. The driver was Bill Spainhour, and in the back set were his four “little ones.” Several months ago when I was in Burke County, I talked with Bill Galloway who was managing a big A P Store. He seemed to have his own crew of curb boys. Passing by the hospital I had seen Revonda Ramsey waiting on a patient. And the patient she was patching up?—he was Gorilla Jim (Davis) who is now six feet and one-inch tall and weighs two hundred pounds. You should have known you couldn’t beat Rocky Marciano, Jim! At the bus sta- tion Louise O’Ham was just arriving from Hollywood to spend a quiet summer vacation with Betty Michaels. Betty. by the way is now Mrs. Grady and has a lovely daughter of six. As I drove in the direction of Glen Alpine, I had seen a detour sign near Silver Creek. A new bridge was being built, and a large sign soon let me know Cloer’s Construction Company was doing the work. Do you suppose it will be safe to cross when completed? A friend told me Flora Clark took advantage of leap year and that she’s extremely happy in the role of housewife. Also, I heard Sara Beck is doing nicely as a medical secretary. The NEWS-HERALD recently related news of three other classmates. Marvin Paschall, a professor at Harvard University, was caught running a red light in Morganton. Besides the fine, I suppose it cost him a couple of fenders and a grille. On the social page was a write-up of the marriage of Dean Orders. It seems Dean, who is working for Drexel Furniture Company, is a very wealthy man. A picture on the front page showed Mildred Henson driving a Cadillac convertible. She must have won the 64,000 dollar question. My, but it mu3t be nice to be intelligent! Enough of this, Marshall, you’ve thought of them all. Let’s get on with the job. MARSHALL WHISNANT, Class Prophet Last Will and Testament We, the Senior Class of 1956 of Oak Hill High School, in the county of Burke, state of North Carolina, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament to the following heirs: To the principal and faculty, we will our ability to know a good thing when we see it as this ability has been largely created under their instruction. To the members of the Junior Class, we will our ability for giving a Senior Play. To the members of the Sophomore Class, we will our ability to do our best in school always. To the members of the Freshman Class, we will our fondness to pester the teachers. I, Jimmy Davis, will my little feet to Donald Whisnant. He can use them! J, Flora Clark, will my quiet ways to Vernie Whisnant. I, Billy Spainhour, will my extra helping of grub in the lunchroom to Richard Harrison, in hopes that he will grow more. Dick Cuthbertson, will my ability to play football to George Clark. I, Sylvia Perry McMahan, will my ability to get a man to Kay Daughtery. I, Betty Michaels, will my friendliness to Ellen Benfield. I I — 2 , Sara Mae Beck, will my kind ways to Eudine Ollis. , Ervin Cloer, will my handsome looks to Danny Puckett. I, Bill Galloway, will the rest of my life to Peggy McFalls. I, Mildred Henson, will my ability for sitting on the bench during the basketball games to Lillie Chester. I, Revonda Ramsey, will my typing ability to Catherine Freeman. , Dean Orders, will my loud mufflers to Alfred Perry. , Charles Clark, leave my witty sayings in class to Bennett Saulmon. Louise O'Ham, will my long hair to anyone who plays a grandma’s part in a play. Nina Harris, will my cute ways to Patsy Cobb. Ada Jean Orders, will my love for prett y clothes to Juanita Copeland. I, Marvin Paschall, will my ability to resist girls to Donald Carswell. I, Marshall Whisnant, will my ability to date Freshman girls to Larry Carpenter. I, Ervin Chester, leave my position as football manager to Claude Ollis. As sole executor of this, our last will and testament, we hereby appoint our class ad- viser, Miss Jean Wells. In witness whereof, we, the Senior Class of 1956, do set seal on this, the first day of June, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-Six.
