The Oxonian Staff wishes to express its ap- preciation for the good foundation laid for it by the two former staffs. Our work has been easier because they have solved the problem of financ- ing the annual. We have been able to follow their leadership in planning our publication too. May the changes and additions we have made record the events of 1951 and 1952 in ways that every student will return and return to this edition for happy memories. Copyright, 1952.

But that's enough on what we'll be Father Time will let us seeg We'll just wait with faith and pray each night That each of us will have a star that's bright.

HELEN TATSEY Girls' Chorus 1, 3, 4, Mixed Chorus 1,3,4g F.H,A, 1,2,, JACK BREEDLOVE Mascot EUGENIA BOYD Adviser -fact 7065! and 7e41!czmeaL' Parents, teachers, and friends: on behalf of the Senior Class of 1952, l ask you to pay Close attention as I read the last will and testament of the said class: We,the Senior Class of 1952, being of unsound mind and feeble bodies as a result of having fought the good fight, do make the declare this our last will and testament in the manner and form following: ITEM 1: To Mr. Vickers, Dr, Smith, and Mr, Credle we would like to leave our sincere appreciation for their instruction and guidance during the past four years. ITEM 11: Tothe faculty we leave all of our old book- lets, themes, tests, and our gratitude for trying to read and grade them, thereby trying to knock a little more sense into our thick skulls. ITEM III: We give and bequeath to the rising Senior Class the following in the hope that they will regard them as assets and not liabilities. Dixie Boyd wishes to set an example by her smile even as we did our hard unceasing toil every night trying to master our courses. Patsy Brummitt leaves her studious ways to that foremost scholar Jimmy O'Brien. Phoebe Burnette leaves her curly locks and her Toni kit to Hilda Wagnon. Blanche Cheatham gladly gives her baton to the first person who can learn to twirl it without cracking his skull. Ann Crymes, that second Rembrant, leaves her artistic talent to Jerry Wright and Ronald Ragland. Always late Julia Hall leaves her promptness to her equally prompt sister, Slowpoke Sarah, Lila Haney bequeaths some of her excess gray matter to Ray O'Brien, our next Einstein. Dotty Harris leaves her ability to get a man to all those envious Juniors who have to buy their own rings. Virginia Hayes just gladly leaves Miss Boyd's English classes. Anna Hogan, though she hates to think of it, must leave those charming and delightful Tippett boys, Dan and Lawrence. Leslie Hallleaves her scatterbrain to whoever can pick it up. The two Joyces, Knott and Yeargin,leave their booth at the drugstore to that group,Peggy Reynolds, Ann Wallace Betty Baird,Jo Anne Knott,Judy Gholson, and Julia Ad- cock, which keeps the drugstores in business. Jean Hughes wills some of her captivating charm and boy friends to some of the girls who need their second wind before resuming their never-ending battle, old- maid versus bachelor. Violet Overton gives those beautiful and pains-taking booklets to Tom Newton, Can't you just see those A's, Tom? Peggy Paynter bequeaths her cute freckles and some vanishing cream to Janet Hicks. Waltzing Helen Tatsey leaves her cute walk to Mary Suitt, Richard Beasley leaves his boisterous nature to Ernie Dosher Cas if she needed ith. Dan Critcher leaves his ability to sleep in Algebra to all the night owls, Dick Dickerson, Mike Powell, H. B. Finch, and Francis Hart, Charles Currin wills his manly physique and a pair of dumbbells to Floyd Parker and Bobby Hughes. Gilbert Ragland and Homer Hobgood have consented to give a course on how to woo and win to James Averette and Billy Crews. Preston Johnson and James Overton leave their curly hair to Ben Brummitt and John Crumpler. They can pick the curls up at City Barber Shop. Dan Jones leaves his studies ways to those gad-abouts, Joe and Sally l-Iamme. Jane Knott and Barbara Lloyd got stingy on us, deciding that if they leave it'll be an accomplishment, much less leaving anything else. William Yeatgin has reformed and decided to leave the pool room, for tonight anyway, Maxie Parham gives his height and playing ability to the basketball team, fthe girls' team, that isp, Bobby Watkinsis goingtoleave everything he can't take out under his coat, Hattie Moore decided she would take everything with her, especially the Home Economics books for she fig- ures she will need them in married life. We just couldn't get Janet Speed away from John long enought to find out what she wanted to leave so we pass on, Ambrose Brooks has given his weight to the football line. Lord help the opposing team! Jesse Carroll bequeaths his Casanova techniques to Roy Noblin so he too may have all the girls sighing, Albert Clayleaves his corn to whoever wants to pop it, Since he's justa movin on Jack Jones leaves Hank Snow to Henry Saye, Donald Suitt leaves his rowdy nature to Bobby Talley, gentle, peace-loving soul that he is. Eugene Woodlief bequeaths and gives his all-around insanity to Frank Baker and Thomas Blalock, Alex Hancock had decided to leave Lulu, but parting was no sweet sorrow so he has decided to wait around awhile. Grier Park having exhausted his brain trying to write this MOST IMPORT ANT document leaves tomorrow for Ward I, Dix Hill, Witnessed this, the twenty-eighth day of May, in the year one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two, Witnessesg April Showers May Flowers eadofz? Patsy Brummitt After graduation from high school my classmates had all gone their separate ways, Some were planning to be secretaries, some teachers, some farmers, some merchants, and almost all of them planned to be married, especial- ly the girls who were wearing those glittering stones on their fingers. I suppose many graduates had hoped that a day would come when all their classmates would have a reunion, talk over their school days, and find out how many of them had really fulfilled their ambitions, I, too, had dreamed of this. This reunion became more than just a dream when I received a letter from Ann Crymes, who had been the secretary of our Senior Class in high school. She was trying to get in touch with all the members of our class and was planning a reunion, Friday night, November 6, 1962! All the members of the Class of '52 were invited, including their husbands and children. We were to meet at the Oxford Hotel,which was nowa million dollar establishment, under the management of Charles Curtin and Julia Hall. It was planned for this time in order that we might attend the Homecoming Game at which time the Oxford Wildcats would clash with the Henderson Bulldogs. There was even more competition than ever between tnese two teams as Eugene Woodlief had become coach of the Wildcats and Homer Hobgood coach of the Bulldogs. Ann informed me that she was now commerical teacher in the Old Alma Mater and had introduced a course in shorter shorthand and electrical typing. At my first leisure moment, I answered Ann's letter accepting the invita- tion. Although I lived in near-by Raleigh, I boarded a plane for cars are no longer in style! As I stepped into the plane, I noticed that piloting the plane was the former speed maniac Dan Critcher. The patrolmen got so tired of catching Dan on the highway for speeding, thatthey gave him his wings so that he could go as fast as he wanted to in the air. When I was settled in my seat and all comfortable, I looked across the aisle and whom should I see but Gilbert Ragland, who was the founder and now chief surgeon of Ragland's Home For the Broken Hearted, a world famous hospital for unfortunate lovers, located at Berea. He informed me that Joyce Yeargin and Juanita Hughes had re- cently helped him perform a major operation on the heart of Peggy Paynter whose husband had just left her to go to Mars to study how to release muscular tension. In a little while television claimed my attention and I recognized the accompanist of the Andrew Sisters to be a former classmate, Leslie Hall. After being shaken up a great deal,welanded at Yeargin's Airfield, under the management of William Yeargin. At the baggage office I recognized another familiar face,that of Barbara Lloyd,who was still never too busy to talk to an old friend. She told me that Phoebe Burnette had been working at the Department of Revenue Office, located at Stem, She had been doing a bit of income tax checking on Oxford High Schools' Beta Club, whoselarge bank account was of unusual interest to this department. Barbara alsotold me that Jane Knott was writing a Dorothy Dix column in the Oxford Public Ledger. The editor of this newspaper published every hour on the hour was Jean Hughes and its sports writer was Jackie Jones who had become a second Jack Horner, With the help of radar I contacted the Watkins' Helicopter Company, one ofthe largest communication organi- zation in the world, owned by John Robert Watkins, known to us in high school as -- Puny . By the time I turned off the radar switch, there, already out in front blowing impatiently on his siren, was Maxie Parham, who was opera- ting one of the fastest helicopters in the company. On the way to the hotel, I noticed a sign which said Suits De- partment Store -- Suits to Suit the Bashful Suitor and Maxie said its owner was our old classmate Donald Suit. Arriving at the Hotel, Irecognized Janet Speed and her husband. Tagging behind them were four little tots dressed in football uniforms, and yelling We want a touchdown! The ball room was beautifully decorated with neon lights all around the balcony. In baskets in every corner were imported orchids, arranged by Anna Hogan, Home Ec. teacher at O, H. S. As the class members began to arrive there was much greeting and everyone seemed happy to be with his class- mates again. Waslsurprised whenlsaw Lila Haney who told me that she and Albert Clay were devoting their time to chemical experiments in the Atomic Plant located in Creedmoor. They had already blown up Stalingrad and had their eyes turned on Berlin. She reminded me that Helen Tatsey washolding a secretarial position in this plant. Ihardly recognized Grier Parks who told me he was the President of a School of Architecture in New York City. I, also learned from him that Jesse Carroll was the assistant to Dr. Hart in the Math department of Duke University and that he was the author of a new Math book which made Algebra as simple as A. B. C. Some of the oldest married members in our class were Dotty Harris, Hattie Moore, Blanche Cheatham, and Dixie Boyd. Dotty and her husband now owned a most prosperous goat farm in Oakhlllg and were making money faster than they could count it. Hattie was residing in Richmond and was mistress of a twenty-five room mansion. For the past five years Blanche has been living in Alaska, where her husband was commander of the Fifth Air Force Division there. Dixie was presiding over her household which consisted of a husband, five children, four dogs, a cat, and a canary. After everybody had quieted down, we were served a delicious meal, prepared and served under the direction of Virginia Hayes,who for five yearshad been trying our her recipes on her husband, Now he had the pleasure of see- ing someone else suffer! Beasley and Overton Meat Market, owned and operated by Richard Beasley and James Overton and Johnson's Grocery, owned by Preston Johnson, had furnished the food for the dinner. fAnd I might add that it was NOT freely While we were eating Violet Overton informed me that she had just returned home from a missionary tour in Africa, The speaker for the evening was Alex Hancock,who had recently set up his law practice in Oxford and was run- ning for Congress in the fall election. Joyce Knott, who had become an opera star, had been lent by Metropolitan to funish music for the evening, All of us were amazed when Dan Jones told of his explorations in South America and that he had married a beautiful South American heiress. As private secretary to the manager of Club '76 I hurried of to Raleigh to supervise the dressing of the chorus girls for their late performance, after bidding all my classmates farewell.
