CLASS WILL We, the Class of Fifty, our days here being numbered, do hereby intrust to our teachers, friends, and school mates, a wish for good health, success, and happiness throughout lite, and to the Juniors we wish to make these individual bequests: I, Carlos Pangle, will my athletic ability to Bill Case so he may be the most athletic boy in the senior class. I, Howard Lowe, leave my habit of leaving school with- out permission to R. C. Galloway, but he must accept punish- ment af remaining in Detention Hall for same. I, Paul Owen, bequeath to Dorris Reid and Charles Ray lusk my traits of being a perfect pest. lDorris will have to change her personality to meet the requirements, but Charles Ray is already well on his wayl. I, William Zachary, will to Howard Jones my power of capturing the hearts of all newcomers among the fairer sex at R. H. S., and may he develop the ability to keep said hearts in captivity. I, Marvella Staton, bequeath to Mariorie McCall and Lavada Kilpatrick my crocheting and knitting needles know- ing that they will make many useful and beautiful articles. I, Evelyn Galloway, leave to Ernest Hollor my heart- my prize possession-which I could entrust to no other. I, Mary Lee Callahan, will to Anne Vakos and Jo Powell my unusual skill in playing basketball while hoping that R. H. S. will never lose a game-particularly, to Brevard. I, Carl Alexander, leave my possession of stream-lined cars to Carlyle McCall with the hope that they'II serve him better than they served me. I, Betty Lou Lance, do hereby will my studious talent to George White, since he, like all future seniors, will definitely need it. I, Polly Pangle, leave to Helen Jo Manley and Jency McCall my eveready vocabulary so that at least two mem- bers of the succeeding senior class will be equal to walking dictionaries. I, Gerald Owen, will to Charles Pangle and Donalee Cassell my great liking for fishing. Of course, they are to perform this desire only on school days. I, Bernice Whitmire, will my weeks of keeping the school store to Dorothy Thomas and Joretta Moore and hope they will have a new lock on the ice cream box and no diminish- ing supply of Charms due to intervention by the senior boys. I, Tommie Fisher, leave the musical quality of my voice to Mary Sue Whitmire and Alton Pangle. May they and Others enioy their singing. I, Max Whitmire, grant to Roger Owen and Leo Aiken my ability of pitching horseshoe. May they have much fun in the game. I, Ada Carter, will to Marlene Whitmire and Ruth Jamer- son my mathematical talent-a gift any student should cherish. I, Marie Greer, will my tomahawk and scalp collection to Janette Raines and Ray Byars-they can decide who gets which. I, Pete Lee, will to Gerald Moore and Elmo Crowe my ability in reading library books. Remember book reports are due frequently! I, Pat Lance, leave my horseriding ability to Leona Carter and Willie Fisher, and I hope they will achieve from it as much enioyment as I have. I, Gladys Gantt, will the privilege of speaking my mind to Ima Lee McCall and Freda Jean Boley so the senior class will have two members who express their opinions freely. I, Lois Dodson, am leaving to Pauline Lowe and Berdell Jones my means of capturing boys' hearts. It's lots of fun! I, John Vakos, will to Guy Owen my winning personality which enables me to fall in love with a different girl every week. There's great fun in being a Romeo Iif there are Julietsl. I, Ollie Mae Coggins, leave to Lola Dodson my esteemed position of working in the lunchroom during fourth period each day. I, Bonnie Petit, will to Mary Lou Moore my ability to stay out of school two days each week and still pass my studies. I believe this is an achievement any senior would desire. , I, Tom Whitmire, leave to Amalia Winchester and Beatrice McCall my lack of shyness since they seem quite timid, and I certainly have no need of all the boldness I possess. This was published and declared before us by the testators to be their last will and testament, and at whose request and in whose presence we hereby have subscribed our names as advisors and witnesses.

CLASS PROPHECY Time certainly flies! Here it is 1960, and around the beautifully decorated banquet tables in the dining room of the T. M. W. Hotel, we see the mem- bers of the R. H. S. Senior Class of '50, By the way, this T. M. W. Hotel belongs to Tom and Max Whit- mire, and it is located at Lake Toxaway, North Caro- lina, which has, during the last decade, become a nationally famous summer resort. Because it is so well-known and is so near our Alma Mater, we chose it as the appropriate place for our first class reunion. All the members of our class are present. We are learning, as we talk to different persons, that good, bad, interesting, and exciting things have hap- pened to our classmates since graduation. William Zachary is the owner of several service stations located in North Carolina and Virginia. He also sells new and used Chevrolet cars and trucks. He says he still tries to get rid of blue pick-ups since they always seem to bring him bud luck. The last one he owned crashed into the side of a bridge when it was suddenly hit by a following car. Willicim's injuries were slight, and he recovered quickly when treated at Pangle's Clinic. This is a small, modern clinic at Winston-Salem which was recently estab- lished by Dr. Carlos Pangle with Betty Lou Lance as his superintendent of nurses. Polly and I traveled together to attend this re- union. We now live in Hollywood where Polly is becoming a well-known actress. In the current film, The Two Dopes, she co-stars with a former class- mate, Paul Owen, and she wears gowns designed and made by the Chuggy Star Shop which I own. Toward the end of the table at which I am sit- ting, is a pert, red-headed youngster whose face is frecklecl as a guinea egg and has everyone near him in stitches of laughter at his remarks. He's the youngest of four sons belonging to Carl Alex- ander and the former Ollie Mae Coggins. The three older boys remained at home, which is a little white bungalow iust across the Jackson County line. Pat Lance and Marie Greer have invited Polly and me to spend some time with them on the Queen's Bar, their Texas ranch, on our return trip to California. We know this ranch will be different to the typical ranch because Pat and Marie could have been called the Originality Twins of our class. Seated at our table, is Howard Lowe and his wife, the former Mary Lee Callahan. Howard is a progressive farmer in the Gloucester section, and Mary Lee is teaching the first grade in the recently constructed school building at Lake Toxaway. Farming in this section of Western North Carolina is steadily improving, and much of the credit for this progress can be rightfully given to Gerald Owen, the county agent, and his assistant, Pete Lee. These gentlemen are still eligible bachelors! John Vakos informs us that he has a small, but successful, factory which manufactures unsmearable lipstick. CPerhaps, he developed this particular brand of lipstick as protection for himself-wives don't like finding someone else's lipstick on their hus- bands' shirtsl. Bonnie Petit is secretary for the Transylvania County Chamber of Commerce, which has accom- plished a great deal in giving publicity to this region as a tourist resort. Tommie Fisher works for the same organization as social director and supervises the general recreational activities of the entire county. Our food for this banquet is the most delicious imaginable - and no wonder - the Whitmire gentlemen are lucky enough to have Evelyn Gallo- way as their dietitian. We feel sure, too, that the correspondence, records, files, etc., of the hotel are in apple pie order since this department is under the direction of Lois Dodson. i Seated at a nearby table are Marvella Staton, society editor of the Sylvan Valley Gazette, Ada Carter, who is home demonstration agent of our home county, and Bernice Whitmire, crafts teacher working with Miss Carter. Thus has been achieved the fate of various mem- bers of the class of 1950. As we say good-bye to each other at this reunion, it is our sincere desire that Fate will deal as kindly with us in the coming decade. Qyfaglys guna PJQ. Fungi CLASS PHOPHETS
