DEDICATION DANIEL EDWARD OAKLEY December 1, 1944 June 13, 1960 We the class of 1963 dedicate our yearbook to the mem- ory of our classmate, whose life, though short, enriched ours with each passing day. Fond memories of the years he spent with us will remain in our thoughts -- always. Graduation brings sad memories Of our classmate gone to rest, You'll never be forgotten By the ones who loved you best.

To be an Honor Graduate one must have maintained a 90 average throughout their five years in high school. PRE! 100-199 PHILOSOPHY SEATED: Jane Everett, Carol Corbitt, Joyce Holloway, Carol Forrest. STANDING: Betsy Forrest, Ann Bradshaw, John Hunt, Julia Hogge, Missing from picture: Carolyn Graham, James Sidney Insley, 7m CLASS AISTORY The first manned moon flight was returning to earth, but something was wrong. We were going to land off the target area. We ejected our shoot and floated slowly to earth. After radioing our position to HQ, I began to look around. My eye fell on an old book, barely descernable, in the sand. I stooped to pick it up and read the title, “History of the Class of '63.” I began to read... We entered the Eighth Grade in 1958. We were the very lowly RATS and had the distinct honor to be the last class to receive a lipstick initiation. That year we selected as our officers: President, Penny Moore; Vice President, Thelma Hopkins; Secretary, Juliette Smith; and Treasurer, Nannie White. Our S.C.A. Representative was Darnette Diggs. The next year we began our climb up the ladder of success. We were Freshmen! That year the distinction of being Freshmen officers went to Bobby Graham, President; Nannie White, Vice President; Carolyn Hopkins, Secretary; and James Insley, Treasurer. Our S.C.A. Representatives were Julia Hogge and John Hunt. At last we were Sophomores! For this year we elected James Insley, Presi- dent; Nannie White, vice President; Julia Hogge, Secretary; and John Hunt, Treasurer. For our S.C.A. Representative we elected Julia Hogge. The whole class was very proud that year when Grayson Ward was selected as All-District defensive end. Juniors, so much to do! So many duties for officers to perform! We were very well led that year by our class officers: John Hunt, President; Julia Hogge, Vice President; Joyce Holloway, Secretary; and James Insley, Treas- urer. Our S.C.A. Representatives were Carolyn Hopkins, and Joyce Wade. Two big dates will always stand out in our minds. On March 16, 1962, we went around waving our classrings in everyone's face and on May 18, 1962, we carried out the theme Caribbean Fantasy” in the best Prom ever given at P.H.S. Big SENIORS! We finally arrived at the top of the ladder. For our last set of class officers we chose; President, Julia Hogge; Vice President, Joyce Holloway; Secretary, Betsy Smith; and Treasurer, Betsy Forrest. Our S.C.A. Representatives were Anne Ensley and Bill Riggins. We departed from P.H.S. that year with great happiness and high hopes, not realizing just how high such hopes could reach. The plane was arriving to pick us up. I sadly replaced the old book where I had found it. With many fond memories stirred from the past, I ambled into my plane aware of the possibilities of a future on the moon. 28 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Class of 1963, have completed our high school education, and do this day and hour set our hand and seal to the following bequests; To Mr. Thomas, our principal, we leave our deepest regards and sincerest thanks for his work in our behalf, To our class sponsors, Mrs. Nannie Freeman and Mr. Thomas Keesee, we leave our admiration and gratitude for their guidance and understanding. To our faculty, who have patiently guided our footsteps, we give our appre- ciation. To the Class of 64 we wish to bequeath our love tor P.H.S. Also the following individual objects and traits.

JAMES SIDNEY INSLEY leaves his book on how to skip school to Mike Nichols, Eldred Powell, Joe Champ, Jerry Stone, and Hamilton Lancaster. BETSY SMITH leaves her place in Shorthand II.

It's good to see you again. What are you doing in New York City? My oldest son just graduated from college in the ‘Class of 1990.’ I have 4 children you know.” Well at the time I didn't know, but Carol soon filled me in. During the flight home she told me that her old pal, BETSY SMITH, was raising horses in Kentucky and won the Kentucky Derby last year with her horse, Ben Car. It seemed that DIANNE HOPKINS, after being engaged 8 times, was an old maid. She also told me that JOYCE HOLLOWAY was teaching first grade. As we were getting off the plane we met our pilot who turned out to be JAY HUNT. After the usual greetings he told us that BILL RIGGINS, who had taken over Mr. Crummette's place in the math department, and THOMAS DEANS, head of the N.N.S. D.D. Company Apprentice School, were to meet him there and they were to go downtown to the office of the famous child psy- chologist, DAVE BROWN. To take us to Bull Island we hailed a Crawford Cab, owned by TILDEN CRAWFORD Enterprises. The driver was GENE FETTER, one of our classmates at P.H.S. Gene said that ROBERT PAGE and MARK MUZA were also working for Crawford Enterprises as advertising executives. We pulled up to Moore Gas, one of achain of service statiors owned by C. L. MOORE. EARL WILLIAMS, the manager, came out. He told us that Mr. Moore's legal advisor, JAMES INSLEY, was going to Washington as a Senator during the next session of Congress and that GRAYSON WARD would take over his law practice as he had proved himself worthy after winning a case in which JUDGE KENNETH ROGERS had presided. As we drove on we met a young man who had a flat tire on his little Cor- vette. It was BILL FREEMAN, now a great concert pianist. He had the million- aire, PAUL FREEMAN, with him. We picked them up and continued our journey. Paul had bought a newspaper and I began to read it. I saw at a glance its editor was BETSY FORREST. The front page headlines were about LINDA HUNTER winning the Pulitzer Prize for the best selling novel. BILLY FERGUSON, who had just been elected governor of Virginia had his stunning profile on the front page and a state- ment issued by his secretary, JUDY FORREST. After glancing over the front page I immediately read the local news. JULIETTE SMITH had just been elected president of the P.T.A. Other officers were JOYCE WADE, vice- president; DARNETTE DIGGS, treasurer; FRAN CARMINES, secretary; and CAROLYN GRAHAM, parliamentarian. As I read on I saw that Mrs. Freeman had decided to retire and take a trip around the world. ANNE ENSLEY had been appointed to take her place by principal, BOBBY GRAHAM. The Woman's Page was full of the latest Paris imports by ROSALIND DEGNAN,, the exclusive fashion designer. Her highest paid models were SHERRY CROSS, DEANNA HUNT, CAROLYN HOOPER, and ANNA MARIE WARD. Advice to the Love- lorn,” a syndicated column, glared up at me with the name of its writer, SARAH PAULS. On the sports page was a picture of THELMA HOPKINS who had just won the tennis finals for the U.S. Woman's Team in the Olympics. — After [ had finished reading the paper we were reaching Langley Field in time to meet LINDA HOLLOWAY, ROSE DIGGS, and RAE NICHOLS who were stenographers under the world renown mathematician, JULIA HOGGE. Reaching home, I rested up and decided to go see ANN BRADSHAW. She was knitting baby clothes for her grandchild. The day before she had been to the wedding of CAROL FORREST's son in which JANE EVERETT's son was best man and BETTY WALL's husband, a minister, performed the ceremony. She was going to a movie that night starring PHYLLIS PAULS and FAYE FETTER. As I boarded the plane back to London, I wondered what my classmates would be doing in ten years, 30 FUNIORS JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS: Denny Firman, Vice President; Roslyn Hunt, President; Pete White, Treasurer; Jerry Hogge, Secretary.
