CLASS HISTORY It was just four short years ago when the class of '56 entered high school. With our large class we had to be divided. Mr. James Swiggett was the boys' home room teacher and Mrs. Walker Derr was the girls' home room teacher. As Freshmen we chose for our class officers: Harold Auman, President: LaVeme Brown, Vice President: Peggy Parks, Secretary: Jean McNeill, Treasurer. The girls on the basketball team were: Peggy Parks, Ruth Ann Macon, Sarah Graves, Julia Chriscoe, and Helen Cagle. The boys were: Jimmy Pittillo, Maxton Byrd, Jerry Cole, Charles Auman, Harold Auman, Noel Lee Hayes, Donald Scott, and Donal Johnson. We soon finished our Freshman year and looked forward to a summer vacation. SOPHOMORES! We began our sophomore year with 46 in our class. Mrs. Wade Harris was the girls' home room teacher and Mr. James Swiggett was again the boys' home room teacher.

We chose for our class officers: Peggy Parks, President: Maxton Byrd, Vice President: Jean McNeill, Secretary: Jake Outen, Treasurer: and Jimmy Pittillo, Reporter. To make money for the Junior-Senior Banquet we sold magazines and gave a play entitled Superstitious Sadie. Several of the mem- bers received bids to the Beta Club that year. They were Claudia Brittain, Harold Auman, Joyce Hammond, Ruth Ann Macon, Peggy Parks, and Tensie Craven. One day in February our class took a trip to Raleigh. The girls on the basketball team were: Helen Cagle, Ruth Ann Macon, Peggy Parks, and Julia Chriscoe. The boys on the football team were: Maxton Byrd, Leonard Latham, Robert Walker, Jr. , Jake Outen, and Danny Pope. Maxton Byrd, Danny Pope, and Leonard Latham were on the baseball team. Our Junior year was gone but not forgotten. SENIORSI No one ever thought the first three years could pass so quickly. As we started our final year, ,we were all looking forward to our diplomas and graduation. We started out with 60 Freshmen but ended up with only 37 Seniors. Mrs. Susanne Karriker was our home room teacher. Our crass officers were: Hollis Merritt, President: Donald Johnson, Vice President: Ruth Ann Macon, Secretary: Tensie Craven, Treasurer: Opal Cole and Jimmy Pittillo, Reporters.

As we think of leaving, we would like to stop and thank our teachers, parents, and friends for all the help that they have shown us, the class of nineteen hundred and fifty-six.

CLASS PROPHECY Well, we guess it's the gypsy in us -- we don't know any other reason why they chose us to foretell the class prophecy. We will now gaze into the crystal ball to see what the future holds for the class of 1956. We look in on Charles Auman, Master of Ceremonies for a television show called The Talkathon Hour. This show, by the way, is being sponsored by the Pittillo Chrysler and Plymouth Corp. The president of this concern is Mr. Jimmy Pittillo. Glenda Auman is one of Hollywood's top beauty experts. Harold Auman is the principal of Seagrove High School. He keeps the boys busy in the shop making paddles for him. Claudia Brittain attended Appalachian College and is now teaching Social Studies there. Maxton Byrd owns 1 Dime Store, 3 Jewelry Shops, 5 Pawn Shops, 1 Music Store, 5 Hot Dog Stands, and raises strawberries for a little something to do. Helen Cagle has met the man of her dreams and is now living in High Point. Julia Chriscoe is a private secretary for a business firm in Washington, D. VC. Edna Cole never married. She is sitting at her office with work piled up around her. She will not allow anyone else to touch it or give her advice. It must be done just right. Edna certainly hasn't changed. Jerry Cole is doing quite well for himself in his new hardware store. He says the women don't buy rolling pins any more, but he passes the word along to the new brides that he has a new supply of can openers. Opal Cole is an airline hostess for Eastern Airlines. Tensie Craven went to college and took up music, both voice and piano, but just couldn't get interested in any of them. All of her classmates knew that her first love was her husband. There is a hot rod driver who has been taking all the first place trophies lately. This person is the Weedy Bobby Crisco. Madelle Galloway, whose future was decided before graduation, is now keeping house for her husband. Trula Gilliland is studying to be a doctor. Joyce Hammond has finally accomplished her 1ife's desire -- to be a commercial teacher. Mr. Pace decided that he would settle down and Joyce became commercial teacher at Seagrove High School, Lower the gang plank, folks. Do you see what I see? None other than our own Noel Lee Hayes, who is now in the United States Navy. State College has one of the best schools for dairying in the nation. No wonder! The Head Instructor is Donald Johnson, As we look into one of the best football games in our country, we find Leonard Latham making a .85 yard dash in the last second of the ball game. This is nothing. He was better in high school.
