CLASS POEM The doors of Old Fort High School Will soon close behind us, the Seniors of '52, But the memories will always be with us Of our sorrow. our happiness, and friends so true. No matter how high we climb in life We shall remember days gone by: Where our hearts beat together as one- We all loved Old Fort High. ' Now, our school days are over, our books are put away Others are waiting to take our places, we cannot stay. So to all our friends, teachers and Old Ford High, With tears in our eyes we must say good-by. Betty Sue Gilliam Class Poet

CLASS PROP!-l ECY Washington, D. C. July 10, 1962 Dear Betty, My vacation has just ended, which I spent at home, and I thought you would like to hear about our old classmates. Violet Morris always wanted to be a secretary. She now has a private office at Belk-Broome Store in Marion, N. C., and is doing a wonder- ful job. Josephine Banks is a nurse in Central Hospital in New York City. I hear that Betty Sue Gilliam is a great poet and the public is really interested in her poems. Ruby jo Bivins has a very successful Beauty Shop in California and has a lot of the famous movie stars as customers. Lovyne Carver is now a great model in Paris. Ray Baker always liked to drive large trucks. He is driving for johnson Motor Lines from Raleigh to Clearwater Finishing Co. in Old Fort. Ralph Brown attended the University of North Carolina and has become a very famous engineer. Earl Sawyer was always a great basketball player. He is now playing with the House of Davids all over the United States. I'm sure you have seen Clyde Silver's picture in the newspaper. He is playing with the St. Louis Cardinals and is one of the best well-known pitchers in the National League. Sue Kelly and Bud Carver made such a nice team that joe Lee Allison, Production Manager of 20th Century Fox, just signed them to a life-long contract in Hollywood. If you ever get a chance, go see their latest movie Stars of Today. Hazel Williams and Dorothy McPeters are owners of the Bell Telephone Co. in Reno, Nevada. Evelyn Tabor was always interested in books. She has a very successful book store of her own in Nebraska. Frances Smith is serving in the WAVES and is a First Lieutenant.

He is one of the leading Scientists in the United States and has as his assistant, Albert Hicks. Howard Moore is Vice-President of the Beacon Manufacturing Co. in Swannanoa, N. C., and is making a very rapid success of it. I suppose you remember Douglas Lav- ender and Robert Lavender. Robert is a great wrestler and with Douglas as his man- ager, I'm sure Robert will go places. If you remember correctly, Richard DeVinney liked to argue. He is one of the greatest lawyers in N. C. Donald Lackey always did like' the Navy. He is one of the greatest and most well known Admirals now serving our country. jack Evans and Max Davis are playing for the Grand Ole Opera and are building their success rapidly. While in New York a few months ago, I went to Carnegie Hall to hear your Con- cert, which I enjoyed very much. Since I have become a Stewardess on the Cross Con- tinental Air Lines, I have been kept very busy. Much success and happiness in the future. Love, Mildred White, Class Prophet.
