CLASS HISTORY We the class of 1959 entered high school in 1955. What a thrillto change classes and have anew face to look at each hour. We really felt independent being able to be- long to a club and take part in other high school activities. However, we were not yet ready to make the larger decisions that were to come in later years. In our Sophomore year we were honored by being able to serve at the junior-Sen- ior Banquet. The the me was Painting the Town Red, a nd boy! did we sophomores help spreadthat paint all around town. I think everyone, especially Cecil and Marshall, will remember serving at the Teachers' Banquet in the Fall of 1957. No one can ever forget our junior year. It is a pleasure to reminisce the fun a nd excitement we had in presenting Aunt Tillie Goes To Town. Remember--Bettyjean Newton as Aunt Tillie, Elsie Chandler as Lucinda Talbot, S a n dr a Glascock as Pamela Marsh, Brenda Clark as Linie Parsons, Helen Long as Ellen N e el a n d, jerry Puckett as Ronald Howla n d, Cecil Howard as Luther Lorrimer, jimmy Talley as Mervin Tucker, Wilson Greenway as Charlie One Lung, Doris Stone as Mrs. Tillie Tucker, Rose Duncan as Dr. I-Iattie Bing. It was a night of Great Splendor on April 25, 1958, when we gave our junior- S e ni or Banquet. There we re many Sweethearts on Parade as our theme was April Love. I think the dance afterwards was enjoyed by all. We are now Seniors. We have been working hard under the direction of our spon- sor, Mrs. Watkins. It has also been a year of fun as th ere is still a little competition between Al and Allen as to who will be remembered as the Class Comedian. During the spring months we staged our Senior Playfa real dramatic productionj, were royally entertained at the banquet by the juniors, and had numerous parties a nd picnics. Now we wish to address our appreciation to Mr. Adcock, the faculty, and our parents for all they have done to help us along the way. Let us be true to our motto, Knowledge comes but Wisdom Lingers. jerry Puckett Historian

PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE Well, I guess it'sthe gypsy in me --I don't know any other reason Why they chose me to foretell the class prophecy. I will now gaze into the crystalball to see what the future holds for this grand class of 1959. Turn onward, Turn onward Oh time in your flight Let me see the graduates of '59 Ten years from tonight! IIMMIE TALLEY has been looking around for an office to hang his shingle on. You know he is a dentist, I suppose. I always did wonderwhy heworked so hard to build up those muscles. Hold on to your chair pa- tients, please. My, that new filling station that WILLIAM FRAZIER is building is really swell. Some people wonder how he does so well, but I would like to know if his conscience hurts when he sells three quarts of gas for a gallon. ' AL GLASSCOCK is doing quite well for himself in his hardware store in Volens, Virginia. He says the women don'tbuy rolling pins anymore, but to tell the new ladies he has another supply of car grease. April's issue of CHARM really disappe are d from the newsstand, but no wonder. It was our own SANDRA GLASSCOCK'S fa ce smilling pretty on the cover, wearing a new Easter bonnet. She really isa lovely model. GLEN BLACKWELL is the fellow to call when you need to have the sink unstopped. I understand he is a first rate plumber. He should be, he cut his teeth on a pair of pliers in his fat.her's garage. Look at the gang, folks. Do you see who I see? None other than our own JERRY PUCKETT, who is- now in the United States Marines. CALVIN OWEN and WILSON GREENWAY are two of the most successful farm ers of our day. I've heard they had to build larger barns this year and they are buy ing new machinery. What they learnedin F.F.A. must have helped a lot. Say, what's this ? Buy y our tickets for the wrestling match tonight. DORIS STONE DEFENDS I-IER CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE. Well, all I can say is, it should be exciting because BRENDA CLARK is her manager. HELEN LONG made the headlines on the sports page when the Boston Red Sox won the pennant. You know she is manager of the team. Her manager hopes that she will retire in the future and manage their own five players. If any of you fellows and girls go riding on the road of matrimonylonyour honeymoon, how about dropping in to see MARY CAMPBELL in Florida? I understand she has quite a fleet of yachts. I see CECIL HOWARD still going steady. But wait! It's not the one he used to go with at OI-II-IS. He said the reason for that was because the one at OHHS bought a can opener for a wedding present, and he doesn't like canned foods to eat all the time. Zoom there goes MARSHALL MURRAY and some members from his HOT ROD CLUB. I see ALLEN NELSON who is in the crop spraying business. They say, he will just spray crops around Nelson, Virginia. Could his future wife live there? I see LG. ELLIOTT still using his basketball jump shot playing for the Boston Celtics. ROSE DUNCAN is still waiting at home . She iswaiting for I-Ioyle Day to say the words. fBe my wifel. BETTY JEAN NEWTON is marriedto Clifton Elliott. It looks like the old woman that lives in a shoe she had so many children she doesn't know what to do. Now I finally see ELSIE CHANDLER who is a school teacher. I suppose you wonder what the cry st al ball holds for me. My, it looks interesting, I have finally gotten in the Major Leagues and I am playing with the Boston Left Outs. cRowDER WHITT, Prophet
