THE SENIORS' PREDICTED FUTURE As we Seniors look into the future, we see ourselves in the year of 1957. Flight Chief Elton Auman, an out- standing hero in the Ulah Air Corps, is residing near Asheboro with his 200- pound wife. Miss Eutha Alexander, now leading pianist of the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, has just returned from a trip abroad. Isla Auman, who is now in Hollywood, is the leading actress in M.G.M.'s latest and best production, Out of This World. Mrs. Leonard Richardson, the former Nellie jean Dorsett, who resides on one of the largest farms in the country, now has her time well spent caring for her baby boy. The former Vitis Hancock, with hand- some husband and two children, is residing in Why Not, where she clerks in Hudson- Belks 8: Co. Bill Cole is now a Major League base- ball pitcher. His heroism came from his mystery of curving balls. Herman Shaw's dreams are beginning to come true. He and the former Betty jean Caudle are now dwelling in the City of Pisgah, where he is manager of the Five Point Grocery. Mrs. Elton Auman, the former Miss Thelma Chriscoe, is enjoying married life and her job as secretary of the Ulah Air Corps. - Miss Marie MacDonald, still residing in Seagrove with her mother, has almost given up hope of finding her dream man. Miss Joyce King is now head nurse in the newly built Seagrove Hospital. Mr. Dewey Kiser has finally reached his goal of fifteen children. There's hardly room for him in the house now. Golda Lowdermilk has now followed her heart throb to the Philippine Islands. We wonder where she will be next. Mrs. Lowell Whatley, the former Kath- leen Chriscoe, is living near the Ulah Air Corps where her husband is head mechan- ic. She is manager of the Kitty's Beauty Salon. Charles Teague is carrying on his great work as Professor of Erect High School. He finished State University with highest honors.

Mrs. George Beane, formerly Thelma Lee King, is now living in Steeds with her beloved husband. Miss Grace Strider is now a leading model in Montgomery Ward and Com- pany and as yet cannot decide between Charles Teague and A. Williams. Miss Gladys Luck, tipping the scales at 98 pounds, is now very glad to quit her diet. The former Leona Hancock is now touring the world with her evangelist hus- band. She's a mighty good helper in the gospel. Mr. Charles Caudle, the most studious boy of the Senior class, is now an Admiral in the Navy. Darrell Davis now owns 60 of the most modern passenger planes. He has been giving his wife a course in aviation. The quietest girl in the Senior class, Martha Williams, has been noisy about finding a handsome husband.

CLASS HISTORY Early in the fall of 1943, another class of green horns entered high school. Since this class was large, it was divided under the direction of Mr. Henry M. Woods, Ir., and Mr. Harold L. Sharp. Mr. J. R. Robbins was our new principal. At the end of the Hrst semester, this group, now hard at work, learned that Mr. Woods was leaving them and that Mr. W. E. Wil- liams would be their new teacher. Now, in step with other high school students, this class of forty-two students was look- ing forward to the year when they would receive their diplomas. Since we were Sophomores the next year, we were a happy group, for we had outgrown the name Freshman Mrs. Evelyn Harris was the girls' homeroom teacher, Miss Sarah Richards, the boys. Also, we had a new principal, Mr. E. L. Bortner. Many class members participated in athletics, the most outstanding of which was basketball. Ten students received bids to the Beta Club as a reward for their good scholastic record and leadership among their associates. Our junior year found our number de- creased by five students who had left us for various reasons. Miss Estelle Brown was the homeroom teacher for both boys and girls, since we had been consolidated. Three more received bids to the Beta Club. Our first trial at publishing the Seagrove Highlight, with no previous experience, was a big task for the Beta members. In the spring, we had our first formal ban- quet. Our girls made up the entire first team in basketball and came out with great honors by winning the Randolph County Tournament played in Asheboro. We really looked forward to our Senior year. Our class was the first to endure the ordeal of an extra year in school. Miss Brown was still our homeroom teacher. The sixth edition of the SE-HI, our an- nual, was one of our new responsibilities. To get money for its publication, we gave a Christmas play and a Senior play, sold advertisements, magazine subscriptions, and stationery, Many athletic honors have gone to members of our class. We give our instructors full credit for the good they have done us. We shall miss you, but we are proud to have acquired the lacnor of graduating. As we part from you ear, please accept our thanks and our I 'hes. Nellie jean Dorsett, . Class Historian.

THE LAST WILL AND TESTAIVIENT CLASSOFIQ-47 We, the Seniors of 1947, leave the fol- lowing articles to the ones we leave be- hind, in hopes that they will use them for a great purpose. To our teachers who have patiently taught us, we wish to express our sincere thanks. To them we leave the knowledge they have gotten from our test and exami- nation papers. Golda Lowdermilk wills her love for history to Betty Comer as long as she stays away from that history palf, To Virginia Gatlin goes Thelma Lee King's ability to attract taxi drivers. Darrell Davis leaves his quietness to David Voncannon in hopes that he will improve. Kathleen Chriscoe wills Lowell What- ley to Ralph Sink to care for until he finishes school. Denzil Kearns leaves her title, Best Dressed, to Jacksie Boone in hopes that she will always look good in green just for a certain blonde. Louise Johnson will her title, Best Con- versationalist, to Garnette Lucas so she can always keep that red-headed guy from Biscoe talking. Bob McNeill leaves his title, Most Ath- letic, to Lowell Whatley. Try to put this to as good a purpose as Bob has done. Dorothy Kennedy leaves all her extra men to Marie Richardson, for Dot doesn't seem to need them anymore. To Ray Keith Sikes and F. C. Gann goes Elton Auman's speaking ability. We hope it helps them in the coming years. Joyce King leaves her desire to nurse to Thelma Tucker. Put this to as good use as Joyce will. Marie McDonald wills her popularity with her classmates to Betty Jo Brewer. Jocelyne Harvell leaves her title, Big- gest Flirt, to Lonnie Voncannon and Lewis Teague. To Swanie Marie Richardson goes Vi- tis Hancock's title, Most Dependable. Nellie Jean Dorsett wills her ability to win and keep friends to Dora Stutts. From Dorothy Bowman to Waymond Strider goes her title, Most Likely to Suc- ceed. Herman Shaw wills his title, Cutest Boy, to Breck Richardson so that he can get along with the girls in his class. Dewey Kiser wills his title, Most Op- timistic, to Keith Richardson. Please, Keith, use it for a good purpose. To Gene King goes Charles Teague's title, Class Baby. Maybe next year, Gene will be more grown-up. From Charles Caudle to Charles Sugg goes the title, Most Studious Boy. To Burgess Presnell, Isla Auman leaves her title, Most Cooperative. Put this to as good a use as Isla has done. Martha Williams leaves her title, Most Pessimistic, to James Varner with the hope that it will make him a little quieter. From Leona Hancock to Kelly Bennett goes her title, Most Capable. We hope that he will be as successful as she. To Charlie Ray Joyce from Thelma Chriscoe goes the title, Most Prophetic. Since he gets around so much, he should be good by then. Bill Cole leaves his title, Best Sport, to Lacy Scott. We think that he is well- suited for it. Eutha Alexander wills her knowledge of French to Jimmie Haywood. He may want to go to France sometime. Grace Strider wills her title, Best Man- nered, to Wayne Hammond. To Dempsey Bean goes Conie Free- man's neatness. We think he could use a little of her quietness too. Gladys Luck wills her title, Best All- Round, to Arnold McKinnon, since he is so popular with the girls.
