Glass J ropneca As the guardian angel gazes into the crystal ball, she sees that the people in the class of ' 63 have done qui te well for themselves. They have spread out into many different professions. Eddie Swivel-hips Kinney, who was voted Most Athletic in the class, is living up to his title as quarterback of the Ramseur Redskins. The team hasn ' t lost a game yet, thanks to the successful coaching of Alvin Harvell, another high school football star. Connie Kinton, who was quite talented as a magician, has a trick that baffles everybody. He can make a perfect one dollar bill out of an ordinary piece of newspaper. Everyone wants to know how he does it, including the United States government. Bryan Laugh- a -minute Spivey, who was the wit of the class, has made quite a name for himself as a comedian and now Ijas his own TV show. Brenda and Sylvia Woodell, who were always talking of Hollywood, finally made it. They own a factory specializing in custom-made wigs for stars. The name of the company is Woodell ' s Wonderful Wigs, Inc. Jimmy Slaughter and Judy Allen are now teaching at the University of North Carolina. Jimmy teaches advanced psychology while Judy teaches advanced physics. , Larry Fesmire and Buddy Burgess, the mechanics of the class, now own the Car and Cy le Clinic at Coleridge. Larry operates on the cars while Buddy doctors up the motorcycles. 3 Benny Lednum and Sheila Brown, who were voted Most Likely to Succeed, are doing quite well for themselves. Benny has become a brain surgeon and Sheila, a nurse. Wayland Fireball Brown just set a new land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in a slightly modified Dodge Lancer. Jenn Macon and Sara Gordon, formerly Jenn Chriscoe and Sara Coble, have made a fortune on their best seller, THE GOOD AND BAD POINTS OF A TEENAGE MARRIAGE. Betty Bray and Kelly Watkins have used their experience as editors of the Ram and the Ramsonian and are now editors of two rival newspapers. Betty is editor of the Ramseur Record, and Kelly is editor of the Ramseur Daily News. Fill Pugh is now head accountant for the Ford Motor Company. He always did like those Fords. Paul Thomas is now owner of the company. Sybil Craven is now with the Franklinville Police Department, and Faye Voss is the county - truant officer. Willie Cox is now a big cattleman, or perhaps we should say a chickenman. He is owner of the largest chicken ranch in Texas. La Verne Macon is now a world famous fashion designer of women ' s apparel. Sandra Hubbard is the top model. Jackie Embree and Jody McAlister teach math on television to students all over the country. Suzanne Allred and Evelyn Poindexter are touring the country giving lectures on home- making, a field in which they always did well. Gary Brady operates dance studios all over the country, and Don Hicks is his No. 1 instructor. Darnell Hemphill is a dramatic actress presently being coached by Linda York, who is em- ployed by Paramount Studios. Gordon Brady owns General Motors Inc., and Linda Edwards works for him by giving sales talks in s,ome of the leading cities of the nation. Rebecca Cox is now Chief Secretary of all the Howard Johnson Restaurants. She was given the job by the Executive Vice-President, Tommy Davis. Martha Cox is now signing recruits for the U. S. Coast Guard in her private office in New Jersey. Her first recruit was Frank Leonard, who has achieved the rank of Rear Admiral. Linda Hutchins has eight children and is trying for a football team. The team will be called Wayne ' s Wolfpack. The guardian angel has seen that each person has worked hard to make this world a better place in which to live. She is very pleased with the success of these people, the graduating class of 1963. Class Prophets Fill Pugh Jackie Embree 23

Kj ass Jjis ory We can look back on it all now, and breathe a sigh of relief, for our goal is well in sight, the same goal we have struggled for since that first day in August of 1951. Our first few years of school were the stepping stones to a fuller and rounder education. With the guidance of our teachers, our progress continued. We came upon many obstructions; never- theless, the pace quickened. Then suddenly high school was no longer a dream, but a reality. We were proud to wear the title of freshmen. We, of course, were scared at the newness of it all. The teachers were sterner, the books were bigger, and the responsibilities were heavier. Most of all, we were determined. We held our heads high, as a gesture of our pride. We conquered our fears, and they were no longer a problem. In our determination, we worked toward the challenges our high school teachers placed before us. After a brief summer vacation, we entered school again as sophomores. This year was an enjoyable year, full of fun, consisting of hayrides, class parties, and many other memorable events. After what seemed an extremely long school term, the long-awaited summer vacation arrived. As long as we had waited for this summer vacation, it passed much too quickly. Buzzing with excitement and telling our classmates of our wonderful summer, and many ex- periences it brought, a new school term began, and we were juniors. This was a very busy year in which we found ourselves selling magazines as a class project to raise money for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Much time and effort was spent in preparation, and finally the big night arrived. Our theme Evening in Paris was carried out to the fullest extent. The night was beautiful, the food delicious, and the music was excellent. Our guests were pleased, and we juniors were happy that they had enjoyed their evening in Gay Paree. After patting ourselves on the back for a job well done, we turned our attention to another annual event, the Spring Frolic. Everyone had a wonderful time, and we shall all cherish the unforgettable memories of that night. Soon afterward, the ring salesman arrived. We looked longingly at the many sam- ples he had to offer; then after careful consideration we made our decision. Everyone got sap- phire blue, except the few who chose Carolina blue as their color. With the school year coming to a close, we put our pleasures aside to get down to some serious studying as final exams were well in sight. When we entered school again, we were the seniors of 1963. We were proud and sad; proud that we were finally seniors; sad that we would soon have to leave Ramseur High School. As we leave, we wish to express our thanks to our parents, teachers, and friends for making our high school years so enjoyable. No matter what position we will hold in life, we will owe our success to you; and there is nothing we can say but . . . .Thank You. Don Hicks Class Historian 22
