CLASS PROPHECY Often I sit back in my rocking chair and go through my Album of Memories, As I flip the pages my mind wonders back to my classmates, the Class of °56. And time does slowly tick a- way, unfolding the days of our merriment and youth, On the first page of Memories I see a pic- ture of my dear friend Sheila Rogers, who after many years at thetypewriterhas secured a very important position- secretary to the Governor of Virginia, Speaking of going into business, I see Phyllis Stinnett is now private secretary to a young bachelor of law. It was really nosurprise to me that Jeanette Burch and her husband are now co-owners of the ‘‘Jot Em Down’ ’ Super Market. Stepping out into the world of engineering, Sammy Miller is now head of the engineering and electronics department at the Red Stone Ar- senal in New Mexico... You guessed right- Buck McElroy, after graduating from V. P.I., married a Lexington girl and settled down in Georgia as anengineer. This field has also proved to be very prosperous forJoey Sisler and Reed Snyder, They are now millionaires. Romalda Floyd, who loved to skate more than anything else, is now the star of the 19XX Ice Vogues. The deep South must offer golden opportun- ities, for Joyce Camden and her husband have moved to Florida. Ronald Byers is now owner of a large cattle ranch in Texas, That interest in the Navy really paid off for Peggy Jennings for she is now Secretary of the Navy. Loretta Pelter is also doing very well, She and her sailor husband are owners of a cit- rus farm. As I flip the pages I see Butch Grow has recently struck oil and is now known as the ‘Millionaire Playboy’’. Emmett Cash, who spent his time working at the American Oil Company, is now President of the firm. Carolyn Foster steps forth as the owner of a famous chain of stores known the world over as ‘‘Mademoiselle Toots’’, The Class of °56 is certainly well repre- sented in the Armed Forces; Buddy Secrist is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force and Jack Bryant has also chosen this field for a career. Joyce Dudley, Shirley Sandidge, and Oris Ar- thurs are in the Women’s Division of the Air BoOrcer Patsy Slough is now the owner of a famous beauty salon in France, Carolyn Seay is the football coach at V.P.1.,: and I see the Gobblers have recently won the Rose Bowl Game. Jimmy Dickinson is off in the world of sports and has just covered the Rose Bowl Game for the New York Times. Appearing next is Joan Ogden, who is an air line hostess for T. W. A. In the world of speed and sport cars, Jack Brown set the world’s speed record, ranking next to Claude Lynn, after having won the Le Nans Race in France. Mary Stinnett, I see by the latest Vogue, is busy designing clothes and she has her own mod- eling studio... Bonnie Ramsey, who was married during her senior year, is now settled as a housewife and mother, Remember Shirley Rowsey and how happy she was when she became engaged? She is now happily married andhas ahome on wheels. And the handy man with tools, Bobby Dyer, has his own contracting firm, ‘‘Bugs, Contract- OLS wince Headlines--Donnie Holt,Star of the New York Knickerbocker basketball team,set the world’s record of 5,492 points. I knew Nadine Staton would be connected with Rinso, She is now owner of the Super Rinso Blue, the latest detergent on the market. David Cullen sailed off to the far land of India, and is working on diesel engines, and I see by the latest newspaper clippings he is see- ing plenty of girls... And Adrian Simmons headed back for North Carolina andis now Pres- ident of a large industrial firm. Next, I see in the news the nurses of our class; Anne West is Superintendent of Nurses at the University of Virginia, and Shelby Knight and Evelyne Dudley are nursing at Jackson Me- morial Hospital, You know how David McCormick loved French! He is now at the United Nations Head- quarters as a French interpreter. Coming closer to home, Larry Rice is mar- ried and owner of achain of ‘‘Hot Rod Garages,”’ Bruce Royer is still making his trips to Glas- gow. He is an engineer at James Lees Sons. Ralph Hamilton is owner of a chain of theatres with the main office in Buena Vista, You remember Billy Huffman and his mon- keyshines, can’t you picture him as the present owner of Mike’s Zoo? Phyllis Cash made history in the state of Virginia. She was the first female student to be admitted at V. M.I., Frank Rader has recently been appointed President of Madison College; his many trips there really paid off for him. Eddie Hilliard now owns Southern Seminary and Junior College, Helen Cash now owns an exclusive restau- rant in Glasgow. A recent addition to the P. M.H.S. faculty is Mary Frances Dickinson, who has taken over Mrs. Van der Veer’s position in the Math De- partment. I was about to forget Tony Henson. Tony is now the Captain of the Washboys at Nuckols Ser- vice Station. Yes, time does goon by, but we still have all those days of our youth to look back on and all the days which were filled with the hope of what tomorrow would bring. As for myself, lam now married anda mother, but along with being a housewife, I am combining a career. You remember how I used to visit Mrs.Glass in the office. Mr. Kling made me undersecretary to the secretary. ---Anne Johnston St les i 2 ae ie AROUND THE CLOC ie scmrneeclon ilies mt emceerp rm Seenaetaitecm WITH THE SENIORS MARY FRANCES DICKINSON VALEDICTORIAN SENIOR HONOR ANNE JOHNSTON SAMMY MILLER MARY ANNE WEST SALUT ATORIAN STUDENTS SHIRLEY ROWSEY —a UNDERCLASSES CLASS OF '57 Mac Felts Mary Newell Jo Ann Payne Ronald Shrader CLASS OF ’58 Sponsors: Mrs.Rinker, Miss Shaner OFFICERS: President: vi)... sist.)
