To the Sophomore Class we leave our patience, our bright remarks, and our athletic ability. To the Freshmen Class we leave our deepest sympathy because they will need it during the long journey before them, To the faculty we leave our many thanks for the help and guidance through these years.

Senior One night while I was sitting before my fire- place, Lady Prophecy knelt beside me. She di- rected me to look into the flames that were dancing and leaping in the fireplace. She promised to give me a vision of all my classmates of the Class of 1953 at Parry McCluer High School, The first person to appear before me was Faye Anderson, who is now Mrs. Robert Giroux, She gave every indication that she is now accus- tomed to those cold Canadian winters, Clarence Argenbright who is now a big-time gambler in Las Vegas was the next to appear, Then came Geraldine Blackwell, our talka- tive girl of old. Now she gets paid for talking, for she is an outstanding lawyer in Philadelphia. Harold Burch has followed in his Dad’s foot- steps and is managing Burch's Store in Long Hollow, and Margaret Burch is a famous dress designer in New York. Lemu el Byers is in politics now. He isa candidate for the Senate on the Republican ticket. Remember his enthuiastic backing of Ike during the 1952 election? Loran Byers is owner of one of the most up- to-date filling stations in Buena Vista, Lance Catlett appeared assorting out mail, for he is the postmaster at Buena Vista. Billy Cole is a college professor, believe it or not! He is head of the Physics Department at Wie cle Leon Coleman certainly made use of his football ability. He not only coaches but owns the Los Angeles ‘‘Rams.”’ Martha Ann Cropp, Emma Gilbert, Phyllis Ogden, Mary Anna Hartless, and Sylvia Sandidge are housewives and spend most of their time staying home watching the kiddies, Ellen Davis is now head of the Home Ec. De- partment at Parry McCluer. Rebecca Edwards is also teaching there, Nancy Dixon is private secretary to the Presi- dent of the United States, Adlai Stevenson. Donnie Floyd is also working for the government, He is with the United States Mint. Eddie Grow, believe it or not, is the heavy- weight champion of the world, I was almost awakened from my dreams when Robert Hamilton appeared as a movie star, In- cidentally, he is always the crook! Carlisle Hostetter is coaching basketball at the University of Kentucky. Earl Huffman is a G-Man, always gets his man. Remember Freddie Jonnson and his paper route back in the senior year? He developed a love for the newspaper business and is now editor of the Roanoke Times, It is said that he Class Prophecy Jerry Justice appeared in an artist’s smock ready to do a painting, He is a well known painter with a studio in Paris, Johnny Kling’s work in Mr. Tenney’s chemis- try class must have paid off for he is chief chemist for the DuPont Corporation, Lewis Micou is chief engineer on the construc- tion of a new transatlantic bridge, Edith Shoffner is a nurse at the new hospital in Buena Vista and a most efficient one from all repiOres. Bonnie Miller owns a beauty parlor in New York City. Arvin Montgomery is cashier at the First National Bank at Buena Vista, Rita Morris is another who stuck to the old home town, She appeared busily selling merchan- dise in Morris’s Department Store, Catherine Painter surprised me for I expected to see her as a missionary in some far off place, but instead she is teaching at the Southern Semi- nary. Billy Secrist is owner of the Blue Ridge Ser- vice Station, Eleanor Snyder came into view as the winner of the ‘Mrs. America’’ beauty contest. I really was almost jolted out of my chair when Lady Prophecy presented Norman Staton as a radio and TV comedian, Imagine Norman, the quiet one, going in for that profession, John Rader is a millionaire playboy and is still at his old trade-breaking the hearts of beau- tiful women, The musical training some received back in high school days didn’t go amiss for Joanna Royer and Frances Patterson are playing in an all-girl orchestra. Remember the way Arnold Thacker used to sing in class? Well, he is now a famous hillbilly singer, Jimmy Wagner is now managing the New York Yankees, Ted Vest, “Footsy’’, is the star pitcher for the team. Billy Weeks is another surprise. famous actor on Broadway. Betty Wheeler is a professional model for mink coats in New York. Corydon Winter who was voted as the most studious boy in our class became a college presi- dent. He is president of Columbia University. Donald Withers is coaching football at W L. As most of you have probably guessed by now, I'm a housewife but with all my duties I find time to be president of Housewives United. Also you might be interested in knowing that I finally suc- ceed in swinging the presidential election in favor of Adlai Stevenson.

The Buena wasn’t lacking in strength either was virtually non-existent, Buster Spencer was able to com- plete only 2 passes out of 15 little yardage. At no time in the contest did the Scarlet Hurricanes penetrate the Buena Vista 20 yard stripe. On the other hand neither did Buena Vista get inside its opposition’s 20, with the excep- tion of the touchdown, until the game’s final play. The “Blues” had Buena Vista fans on their feet when, on the game’s first play from scrimage, Cute Coleman tossed a long pass. to Jimmy Wagner for a 12 yard scoring play. A clipping penalty back on the P. M. H. S. 45, how- ever, nullified the touchdown and the Blues were forced to punt. McCluer gained ground on the exchange of punts as the Blues took over on their own 49. From there the P. M. H. S., offense was unstoppable and it was Coleman who climaxed the 51 yard march by scoring from 18 yards and Hamilton’s attempted conversion was low. From then on, it was a defensive battle with both teams unable to move the ball outside the 25’s. Lexington’s deepest threat came in the second quarter when the “Hurricanes” reached the P. M. H. S. 21. Our hats are off to the follow- ing seniors who played their final high school game Friday: Arnold Thacker, John Rader, Robert Ham- ilton, Leon Coleman, Johnny Kling, Lewis Micou, Jimmy Wagner, Freddie Johnson, and Clarence Argenbright. Good work, boys. Football Squad Entertained Friday evening twenty-six foot- ball players, their manager, sports- writer, and coach, along with the cheerleading squad and _ other guests were entertained at a din- ner given by a few local support- ers of the team. The dinner was served by the women of the Stone Brethren Church. The main speak- | er of the evening was Rev. John, Graham, pastor of the Brethren’ Church. At this dinner Mr. Russell Robey presented a trophy, in mem. ory of Blair Dillard who lost his life in World War II, to a senior boy for good sportsmanship in any sport. This trophy, is to be pre- sented at graduation in the spring and the boy winning the honor will have his name engraved on the cup which is being kept in the trophy case at school. | Vista defense’ December 5 to the High School ner at the Virginia Cafe in Lex-|quick lead in the first quarter and Auditorium at eight o’clock to see| ington.
