THE SENIOR CLASS | Kemertbyn don ¢ Le? 55% 2 os FOREWORD We have burned the midnight oil; we have concen- trated: we have sharpened dozens of pencils and chewed them; we have dusted the lens of our trusty cameras. The result, dear friends, is this 1954 edition of Ye OLDE Towne Crier which you hold now in your hands. We are grateful to many, many people who have helped us along the way, especially Mr. Lemly, our adviser, without whose help and counsel we would have been lost. We have had fun in compiling it, and we hope you will enjoy its contents. It is a source of regret to us that we could not feature more of the highlights of the year 1954, but Mr. Deap Line calls the numbers to which we dance. We have made mistakes, of course, and for them we ask your indulgence. If you find the result of our efforts good, we shall be happy. Turn the page now and judge of the good and the bad for yourselves. os To Mrs. Pau R. NEWMAN Friend and Counselor of our high school days, whose character has been an inspiration and whose helpful interest has been an encouragement to us, We, The Class of 1954 gratefully and lovingly dedicate this issue of Ye Olde Towne Crier YE OLDE TOWNE CRIER STAFF First Row—Carolyn Riddle, Editor-in-Chief; Mr. G.

We, the class of 19’4, have played the first few acts of a production called “Life.” We are now ready to begin a new act in which each of us will be played in the first acts; there will be new scenery on our stage, and new players entering into our play. Many things have taken place in our play already, some good, some bad, but all working to a good end, we are sure. Many of our players have distinguished themselves or brought honor to their theatrical company, the school, in doing theiz individual roles. Time cannot be relived, it can only be remembered in our minds and treasured in our hearts. There has been much to remember, much that will go with us until our play is over. As we reminisce together, let us go back to early September, 1942. This is the date that our play had its opening. That first year, the members of our cast numbered sixty-seven actors. The directors were Mrs. Trivette and Mrs. Flynt. Also we were introduced to the man who was to produce our play for many years, Mr. E. K. Mc- New. It is interesting to note here that of the original cast of sixty-seven actors, thirty-four have had roles every year in our play and will be graduating this spring. Our next year’s directors were Miss Ruth Kapp and Mrs. Ada Yarbrough. Some of -us still remember count- ing to. fifty and one hundred, reading Mac and Muff, while sitting in a circle, and giving our lunch money to the teacher to keep for us. Oh yes, in those young years, we had the front seats in chapel every Wed- nesday. The third year of our play the number of actors reached seventy-four. Our directors were Mrs. Yar- brough and Miss Betty Tucker. Remember the operettas every spring? Ed Fox, Ann Bailey, and Peggy Grubbs made such cute bears and dancing partners! Remember, too, how we used to play “cowboy” in the shrubbery? It was this year that three new players came into our company. Don Graham, later known as “Drip,” Cecile Deal, later known as “Cec”, and Roger Arrington, later known as “Cat Hair’, were the new actors who were destined later to acquire fame for themselves. Our directors for the next year were Mrs. Beckerdite and Miss Medlock. This was the year that our company reached the greatest enrollment in it’s history, seventy- nine. We can still remember the old orange colored geography books, our giant valentine box, our ball games down on the front hill. Big Jim Norman would always strike out, and times haven't changed in that respect! The next season Andy Oberhofer and Melvin Hunter joined our ranks, now directed by Misses Bolick and Looper. The operetta that year was “Tom Sawyer” Remember Richard Adams as Tom, Carolyn Allen as Aunt Polly, and Rupert Bowen as Injun Joe? Also, Dan Cupid began to make the rounds among us. Tempus fugits! Our directors were Mrs. Murray and Mr. Cox. Jimmy (Piano) Reich joined our forces this year. Remember our sixth grade basketball teams? We played only a half hour once or twice a week in the gym, but how we looked forward to it. We used to talk gies 26 about the time when we would be playing varsity ball, “Then we'll show’em a thing or two.” Next year, Sanford (Tub of Lard) Cartwright “fell” into our class along with Larry (Einstein) Mink. Miss Mullican and Mrs. Higgins directed our course this year. Remember the back steps?- Don Hemrick and Richard Adams still claim that those steps are the reason that they can’t write. Remember how Sanford could knock a ball over into the Horton’s yard without even trying? Mrs. Higgins was our basketball coach that year. Oh yes, our class always had more names on the honor roll than any other, Our eighth year was directed by Miss Scott and Mrs. Badgett. We were still beating everything that came our way in basketball and baseball. Nobody mentioned football in those days. Remember our alcohol note- books, those glorious afternoon reccesses, those little arrows that were always hitting their mark from Cupid’s bow? Gayle Holcomb, Tommye Blakley, and Bill Sheek should know well. Freshmen! Now we were ready for those final laps in our play. That eventful freshman year, four years ago, saw sixty-six actors with Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. McClaren doing the directing. Mr. Harris came to Old Town this year, bringing with him Mac and his cherish- ed book on six-man football. Carolyn Riddle, Cecile Deal, the Yarbrough twins, Casey, Arrington, and Cartwright, were just a few to enter the rank of sports stars. Another year, and another chapter written into the pages of our history. Miss Bolejack and Mrs. Keith headed our homerooms. We were introduced to Mr. Blevins, who later became our principal. Names like Williams, Newman, and Benton became familiar to us. This was also a good year for our athletic teams. But all was not gladness this year. In February, our beloved principal, Mr. McNew, passed away. He had produced our pla y for ten years and was esteemed by all. Mr. Blevins became our producer. As Juniors, our class attained great heights. Our teams won football, basketball, and baseball championships. Our panels won in their contests, and all of the junior class helped in making it a successful year. Mrs. Mor- gan and Mrs. Benton were our homeroom teachers for a class of fifty-eight. Mr. Gale Lemly became our assistant principal also this year. The last act of our present play began last September. Much history has repeated itself this year. Contests and championships have been won, plays presented, and the fun and sweat have been ever with us. Mrs. New- man and Mrs. Newsom directed our homeroom activi- ties. Our senior class numbered fifty-nine, the largest ever to graduate from Old Town. Yes, it is truly finished. We have walked the last mile. In our reminiscing we have covered only a few high spots, leaving many things and many names untouched. Perhaps in reading over this history, you will remember some happening that wé have forgotten. Perhaps some- thing written here will bring a tear to your eye or a smile to your lips. But one thing is certain, our years at Old Town will not be forgotten. They will live on in our hearts as cherished memories, undimmed by pass- ing time.

Only the time has been changed to satisfy Mrs. Newman. My name is Friday Oberhofer. I work the night watch out of Staley’s. The time is 10:37 P.M. The date, February 31, 1969. A call came in from the chief, “Fearless Willie” Coltrane. Willie had worked his way to Captain of the Robbery Detail after six years of pounding a beat at the Robin-Hood Drive-In. The chief gave me the details. The Vampire of Valley View had struck again!!! This time he had plundered the laboratory of “Mad Man” Mink. Mink was an eccentric old scientist who did biological research. The nature of his work re- quired a number of corpses, and for this reason he had located his laboratory in the graveyard. 10:51; we arrived at the scene of the crime. After a thorough investigation we discovered six bodies had been stolen. Professor Mink gave us the names of their late owners. There was that famous feline fancier “Cat-Hair” Arrington, and his beloved wife, the former “Bessie” Yvonne Lakey. While celebrating their honeymoon they had gone over Niagra Falls in a barrel of unfortunately poor quality. I had investigat- ed and discovered the barrel was sold to them by Eddie Tuttle. a Hadacol salesman. Eddie had achieved great financial success in this business, claiming that his tremendous muscular development was due entirely to the virtures of his produce. The third body was Don “Hot Rod” Patterson, well known in racing circles, but noted for his absentmindedness. He was doing a hundred and twenty in his souped-up Model A when he stepped out for a cup of coffee, thereby giving Mink another corpse to experiment on. The remaining three corpses bore the names Gayle Holcomb, Gail Redding, and Patsy Foster. They were a world famous trio, having given command performances before the Queen of England. They were noted for their realism but carried it too far, dying of thirst while singing “Cool Water.” These were the bodies. My Job? Find ’em!!! I needed a lead. I had to find some clues. I walked out into Mink’s graveyard to see what I could dig up. Then it happened!!! The graveyard reverberated with a shrill voice screaming, “Get ‘em while they’re hot,” and out from between the tombstones came a weiner wagon, upon which was printed in big red letters, “Bobo’s Red Hots.” Pushing the cart was a little old lady. I stopped her. “What’s your name m’am?” I said. “Ann Bailey.” “I just wanna’ get the facts m’am. What’s inside the wagon m’am?” “Nothin’.” I didn’t believe her. I searched the wagon. Then I found it. “All right,” I said, “You're under arrest.” “On what charge?” she asked. “Receiving stolen goods. There’s a hot dog in this wagon.” “You can’t arrest me. I don’t own this wagon. It belongs to Myers Moore Enterprises.” At last I had my lead. Myers and Moore both had long records. (Colombis LP, 33% RPM). I called my old friend Mack Lackey, the taxi driver. I directed him to the Stop Light District (corner of Reynolda and Polo). If I was to find Myers I needed a stool pigeon. We entered the den of the underworld, “Diamond Jim” Norman’s Casino. It was the Ritziest place in town. Twelve floor shows nightly. Every hour on the hour they would roll up the rug and you could see the floor. The first act was Carolyn Riddle and her magic bubbles. Diamond Jim had made his fortune selling pins. Background music was pro- vided by Max York, Joy White, Issac Gordon, and Carol Fergurson, who were in great demand as they were the world’s only drum quartet. Star of the show was Master of Cere- monies, Tommy Kimball, who told the heart-rendering story of how he rose from poor school bus driver to President of ie Kimball Chocolate-Covered Oyster Factory. Looking about the room I saw Melvin Hunter and His wife, the former Carolyn Allen celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. Melvin was one of the richest men in the country, president of his firm, a company engaged in the manuf acture of Marilyn Monroe calendars. Sitting at a corner table was Roger Scott, the famous magazine illustrator. I sauntered over to him and whispered into his ear, “Where’s Zippo?” Scott motioned toward the back room. The door was marked ‘Don Hemrick, PRIVATE.’ I opened it slowly. For a moment all I could see was a large crystal basketball, shimmering in the darkness. As my eyes adjusted to the dim light I saw a man wearing a white T-shirt, the num- ber 4 emblazed in blue across it. He was gazing into the ball. Before I could speak he said, “Silence! I know why you are here. Arnold and Everette are hiding in the cellar at Kay’s Kandy Kitchen.” Before he could say more a woman rushed a in and was just about to deliver Zippo a sound blow upon the cranium (i.e., a sock on the beam) when she saw me. Her manner softened immediately and Zippo introduced her as his wife. I recognized her as the former Martha Nance. It seems they had married with the intention of raising a World’s Championship Basketball Team but had not gotten very far because Martha insisted on a Girls’ team and Zippo on a Boys team. I hopped back into Mack’s hack and we sped towards Kay’s Kandy Kitchen. Kay had originally intended being a nurse but an uncle of hers in Cuba had died, leaving her a ton of sugar which she did not want to waste. She was assisted in her occu- pation by one Dorothy Smitherman, who was well known in local taffy-pulling circles. I arrived at the Kitchen and politely shook hands, which was a mistake, since Miss Smitherman had recently been pulling taffy and it was some time before our hands could be separated. Meanwhile, the two fugitives fled. Ill: I had no difficulty in tracing them, however. They were holed up at the Town and Campus Race Track owned and operated by Jaybird Dilworth. This was a very exclusive re- sort frequented by such intellectuals as “Drip” Graham, well known author of stories guaranted to get an excuse from Mr. Lemley: Kenneth Casey, millionaire dairy farmer who made his fortune because he had influential pull. Wayne Buie, registered pharmacist, was on hand twenty-four hours a day for the benefit of those who had imbibed too freely of Jaybird’s Joy Juice, the house specialty whipped up by the old master himself. Clay Swaim, the parakeet magnet, was as usual in attendance at the track. Clay’s parakeets earned him a national reputation after he trained them to say “Going up” and “Going down” and installed them in various elevators about the country. All the guests at the track would stand spellbound as the World’s Champion Foxhunter, Richard Adams, would tell of his latest hunt and give intimate details about the care and preservation of stuffed fox tails. After Richard was through, the popular television songstress, Charlotte Doub, would top off the evening with a few of her favorite numbers. 12:26 A.M. I enlisted the aid of Inspector Jimmy Reich. It was rumored that he once worked for Scotland Yard, as most of the cases he handled were Scotch. Inspector Reich surr ound- ed the track. Then we closed in. The capture was easy. I crossed the street and went into a drugstore to telephone the wagon. Behind the counter was none other than Herman Bee- son and Catherine Williams. I asked Herman how business was and he replied by showing me the six carrot rings on Cathy’s fingers, making mention of the fact that it was made of real carrots, lest I should fail to notice. Cathy said it was the most beautiful ring she ever saw, but complained of being bothered by strange rabbits. Sitting at the counter were Bill Sheek and Tommye Ann Blakey. Bill told me he was in the dress business and being low on funds had married Tommye Ann with an eye toward free modeling service, thereby saving the company considerable money. He said he enjoyed his work tremendously. I had to wait awhile before I could use the phone. Several people were lined up waiting for it. Among these I noticed Jessie Lee Vernon. She told me she was in the hat-designing business with Julia Norman, and they were making quite a pile (of hats). When I asked Jessie about the millionaire oil man from Texas she told me the whole thing was off and she wouldn't mention any names but Peggy Grubbs was now married to him. “What was his name again?” “Cartwright,” she said, “Sanford Cartwright.” Just then the milkman came into the drugstore, staggering under his load of bottles. I recognized at once my old friend from first period sociology. It was Ed Fox. “Eddie, old boy,” I exclaimed, “How do you like working for Casey?” “Fine,” he answered, “Just one thing though, if you ever see Casey again, don’t shake hands with him. It’s murder.” The trial was set for March 1, At 10:00 A.M. the court was called to order, the Honorable Rupert Brown presiding. The honorable Judge instructed the baliff to call the jury. Among those called were Buddy Daniels, Mechanical Engineer for the Ace Can-Opener Company; Cecile Deal, a professional bas- ketball star; Nancy Conrad, secretary of the Treasury; Tommy Conrad, twice winner of the National Men’s Invitational Golf Tournament; Loretta Disher, hotel manager; Rebecca Sapp, interior decorator and Richard and Reginald Yarbrough, retired, both having married rich widows. The case was dismissed when Professor Mink testified that he found the bodies in his attic where he had placed them for safekeeping, and then forgot their whereabouts in his joy at being presented a science fiction novel, (“The Martian Chronicles”) at the regular meeting of the Local 805 Under- taker’s Union. The novel was presented for Mink’s pioneering efforts in the field of tombstone design.

ARTICLE ONE Section 1: To Mr. R. L. Blevins, our principal, to Mr. G. G. Lemly, our assistant principal, to Mrs. Paul Newman, to Mrs. Robert Newsom, and to the other members of the faculty; to you who have been our guiding light and helping hand, we leave our undying affection and gratitude for taking us with all our wild tales, and for counseling us with patience and love through the best years of our lives. Section 2: To the underclassmen we leave our book reports, already worn and tattered, yet still usuable; our good looks that will never die but just fade away; our re- cently polished halos and wings, which we hope they will remember to show occasionally; and the hope that their high school days may be as real, and as packed with rare times (and good grades!) as ours have been. Section 3: To the juniors we leave our senior privileges, few and far-between though they be, our orderly class meetings, our skill in getting to Staley’s for lunch, and the reminder that you can’t graduate on old age in- surance. ARTICLE TWO Section 1: Individual Bequests 1—Jimmy Reich leaves his repertoire of marches for assembly to D. C. Petree. 2—Roger Scott leaves to Wilson Walker all his old alibis along with this bit of sage advice, “Never use the same one twice.” 3—Eddie Tuttle leaves his powerful strength to “Her- cules” Sprinkle. 4—Jessie Lee Vernon gives her “old lady” roles in drama club to Claudette Belton. Don’t let it get you down, Claudette! 5—To Katie Weaver, Gayle Holcomb reluctantly leaves her favorite parking place at Staley’s. 6—Tommy Kimball leaves his base voice to Tommy Myers. The volume thus achieved should surely be able to break big glasses. 7--Ann Bailey leaves her skill in home economics to Joanne Abee—you'll soon have use for it, Joanne! 8—Yvonne Lakey and Roger Arrington leave their back seat on the activity bus to anyone who would like to have it. 9—Kay Long gladly leaves her lovable nature to Susie Cooke. We warn you, Susie, it works! 10—Martha Nance leaves her outlandish hook-shot to Ramona Arrington. f 11—Fifty or so pounds Jimmy Norman wills cheerfully to Buddy Boose. 12—Julia Norman and Carolyn Riddle will the little knowledge of chemistry they have gained throughout the year to any unhappy creatures who succeed them in the lowest ranks of that class. 13—Don Patterson wills his “True Love Theory”, with all the trouble it brings, to J. C. Phelps. 14—Nancy Conrad leaves her high grades in driving to Betty Lou Everhart. Note the buses on the left, Betty; they could be disastrous. 32 15—Cecile Deal leaves Joke No. 3 to Susie Snyder. May you enjoy it, Susie, as much as Cecile has! 16—Jaybird Dilworth gleefully wills his job of bell ring- ing to electricity. (To whom it may concern—Try to lock that in the closet! ) 17—Charlotte Doub wills her naturally blonde hair to Sue Fox. This should save you a little moo-la, Sue. 18—To Mary Snell, Carol Ferguson leaves her quiet ways. Mary, please accept them! 19—Issac Gordon leaves his well-worn seat in the senior class to Neil Chafin with the advice that it is not desirable to keep a good thing too long. 20—To Duck Norman, Ed Fox wills his athletic appear- ance. 21—Drip Graham leaves his fame to Bobby Rogers. Also the “Rudolph” song. 22—Peggy Grubbs and Patsy Foster leave their beautiful friendship to Mable Lee Vaught and Betty Jane Zachary. 23—“Professor” Larry Mink leaves all his knowledge of the H-Bomb and absolute zero to Tony Drake. May it pull you through chemistry and physics as it has Larry. 24—To Betty Cox, Bill Sheek leaves his French note- book, empty as it is. 25—Zippo Hemrick leaves his king-size shoes to Lindsey Norman. If you ever travel by water, Lindsey, here are your submarines. 26—Richard Adams leaves his love of rabbit hunting to eee Tilley. And Garland, be careful when you go! 27—To Azalea Worrell, Tommye Blakley leaves her love of one service man. 28—Martha Ann Boose leaves the boys of Lewisville High to Hazel Cartner. Play it cool, Hazel. 29—Rupert Bowen leaves his job of “manager” to Bar- bara Gordon. Try to catch up on the work Rube has left behind! 30—Melvin Hunter leaves his great driving ability plus all the fines attendant thereto to Billy Jenkins. Apply for your summer job early, kid. 31—To his brother, David, Wayne Buie leaves his “taxi- cab.” Please don’t crowd the passengers. 32—To Tommy Logan, Sanford Cartwright leaves his love of all brown-eyed girls. Watch those parties, Tom. 33—Carolyn Allen leaves her ability for cutting classes to Deo Smothers. Beware! 34—William Coltrane leaves his ambitious ways to Jimmy Goforth. 35—Andy Oberhofer leaves his astronomical aspirations to Kay Spencer. You take it from there, Kay! 36—Richard and Reginald Yarbrough leave their good looks, their good grades, and especially their lovely manners to the home-ec department. These afore- said qualities are possessed in such abundance by the twins that we think there will be enough to go around, Their motto, “Forget, forgive; conclude, and be agreed,” Rich and Reg leave in perpetuity to all nos many who may take it to heart and profit rom it. In witness whereof, we the senior class of 1954, approve these bequests and, on this, the twenty-sixth day of May in the year nineteen hundred and fifty-four, do set our seal and hand to this document.
