CLASS POEM We are now at the end of our high school road. To many we must need say good-byeg With sadness and regret we break each tie, But we know we are able to carry our load. Our future now is beginning to unfold. And with memories so happy and gay, Our problems we tackle with courage each day Even life we should face with hearts ever bold. Our parents and teachers have guided us through Ever loyal to them we shall be. Our futures are brightened with their loyalty F le The lessons we've learned should help us be true. Now classmates remember there are goals we m Strive always of ourselves to be sure, Through defeat or struggle we must endure, Try to conquer each task without a defeat. VE LMA ALLEN Poet CLASS FLOWER: Lavendar Gladolia CLASS COLORS: Lavendar- White MOTTO: ust meet. If ye have the faith as a grain of mustard seed--- nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 and m GRADUATION DAY It's a time for joy, a tirne for tears, A time we'll treasure thru the years, We 'll remember always graduation day. At the senior prom we danced til three, And then you gave your heart to me We'll remember always graduation day Tho' we leave in sorrow All the joys we've known, We can face tomorrow Knowing we'l1 never walk alone. When the ivy walls are far behind, No matter where our path may wind, We'll remember always graduation day.

CLASS PROPHECY Here I sit, somewhere out in space on a strange satallite, a victim-of another one of Bill Kivett's stunts. It certainlyis lonely way up here with no one with whom to talk. I hope Bill and his assistant, David Leonard, can get me back on earth before the Homecoming Day for the Class of '5'7. While I wait, my mind dances back over the ten years since graduation. All my classmates have done well. Carolyn Jones is a great pianist. The teen- agers surely dig the jazz she dishes out. The next vision is blurred. Ah! Now it is clearing and I see that it is Irving Byrd man- aging his own candy store. The sign outside reads: Byrd's Sweet Shop. Martha Jones is doing very well. She is touring Europe making personal appearances as an opera star. Lou Ellen Voss, who was quiet in school, is now making her place in movies. Silent movies, of course. And what is this? Gertrude Kimrey is her understudy. Ernest Wayne York liked to sing. He now sings lullabies to his two sons and daughter. Say, what's this? Buy your tickets for the wrestling match. Shelby Jean Jones is defend- ing her title against Jo Anne Coe. It should be exciting because, as we all know, they used to stick together like Karo sticks to Syrup. Anyone wishing to stay overnight in Ram- seur would enjoy staying at the Allred Hotel own- ed by Danel Allred. I believe the food would be enjoyable because Anne Scott is the cook. Here comes Dorothy Patterson up the street. She finally decided to become a preacher's wife, you know. That must be her twin sons with her. Sidney Williams always enjoyed driving the school bus. He is now driving for a local bus company. Velma Allen and Faye Cox are librarians in one of our city schools. I wonder if they keep the students quiet. I shall never forvet the li- brary periods of 1957. Take a letter, please, Miss Hutchens, Gaynell is secretary to the president of the larg- est bank in Ramseur. My, that new filling station Gail Fesmire and Johnny Jessup are building is really colossal. Some people wonder how they do so well, but I wouldlike toknow if their consciences hurt them when they sell three quarts of gas for a gallon. Homer Leonard was the quiet man in our class. He is giving lectures on the Art of Talk- ing to packed houses. Forbis Kivett, after his football accident, is now a missionary in far off India. Jerry Kivett finally earned his place on the Patrol force. He's doing very well, too. The teen-agers in town watch for him. R e be c ca Hodgin is a home economist in Asheboro. Clyde Kivett is driving a taxi in a nearby town. Betty Poindexter, living up to her title of Most Courteous, is teaching manners to her small children. And who is this suspicious looking character sneaking up the street? It's Kate Matthews. She's working in Washington for the F.B.I. Rebecca Kivett, who was one of our senior cheerleaders, is spending most of her time shout- ing to her three small sons. Who is this coming around the corner of the .school house? It's Shorty Burgess. He drives a truck for a local pest exterminating company. Harold Holmes has his own basketball team. His five sons make a perfect team. MelvinAllen was our senior class president. He is now president of the local Bird Watchers' Club . Jimmy York and Alton Hollady are real estate salesmen. One thing is wrong. They never have had an estate to sell. Who is this we see on the third floor of the hospital? Why, it's Cretha Dorsett. She's a nurse now, and doing very well in that field. What's this coming ? It's Bill Kivett and my transportationbackto earth. Maybe I'll get back in time for Homecoming Day. LINDA BRANSON Class Prophet
