CLASS PROPHECY Lislen all you men, women, youths and little children. Listen all you Springs High, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet unto you what has ben revealed unto her. It has been given unto me as the chosen one of this great and good of 1950, to dream strange dreams and see strange visions of the glories to be. As I look into the land of the future, I find myself in a large city York City would stand but a feeble show--great skyscrapers all about me in the air. I look around and see a sign which reads, Seven Springs, the World. people of Seven who now speaks people, the class of the years yet by which New and airplanes up Largest City in As I ride down the twelve-lane highway, I noticed someone standing in front of the Great Opera House on Moonshine Avenue. Oh yes, it's the great opera and concert singer, Margaret Maxwell. She says designer and owns her own continue their careers. Both shop. They say they are leaving for Paris, are making over S500 a day. A little farther down the Bowden and Irene Mozingo gist there and they are all doing just fine. that she's waiting for Ellen Bartlett, who is a famous dress where they will road, I come to the Springs Memorial Hospital where Cleon are nursing the sick. Jewel Dawson is a Clinical Psycholo- Across the street, I see the big brick school where Marie Williams, Janie Creel, and Sallie Mae Davenport are teaching. They are the three highest paid teachers in the state. Just outside the city limits of Seven Springs, I find Panis Moye on a 2,000 acre farm she and her husband have bought. Panis has her six boys tending the farm while her husband is riding around in their new super-jet 1960 Ford. Farther down the road toward Mt. Olive, I see the largest car industry in the world. The sign reads, Herring Ford Corporation, which is owned by A. J. Herring. I find him in his office giving dictation to his secretary, Mildred 'Williams. His book-keeper is Blanche Williams. Across from the car industry is Nolan Hinson's huge farm where he raises hogs. He has hogs that average l500 lbs. when dressed. His hog farm brings in more money than any other business in the state. Nolan is now president of the North Carolina Hog Asso- ciation. Back down in Seven Springs again, at the newly built Sl00,000,000 gym behind the school, I see W. C. Sanderson coaching basketball. W. C. has just graduated from State College and received the trophy for being the World's Champion Basketball Player. Across from the gym, Ashton Dawson is giving instructions to one of the boys who attends school there, on how to operate his school bus. Ashton is one of the highest rated mechanics in the country. Oh my, what was that that just went zooming by? Oh yes, that was the new State Highway Patrolman, Jarvis Pate, in his super-sonic eight Buick. He is after someone xor speeding in the city. As I go across Neuse River on Carefree Avenue, I see two little brick houses just alike. As I come closer, I see Jean Casey and Sally Cottle talking to each other across the fence which separates their homes. Jean raises flowers for the World Market and Sally and her husband are in the car business. At the present, they own a jet-propeled Cadillac. Sally says that Lorena Lamm has just returned from China where she was a missionary. Well, I guess I'd better get back to the city, because I want to see Kenneth Lane in his first movie at the World Central Theater on 92nd St. Kenneth is now in Hollywood making two pictures a week. He was voted the most handsome actor on the screen and the best dressed man of the year. Ellen Bartlett

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the Senior Class of Seven Springs High School, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby re- voking any will or wills heretofore :made by us. To our principal, Mr. J. O. Waters, we leave our thanks and wishes for all the help and understanding we have received from him. To Mrs. Gertrude Scott, senior advisor, we leave our everlasting love for the sympathy, patience and leadership that she has never failed to show us. To the incoming Seniors, we leave all the privileges and considerations that we never had. I, Sally Mae Davenport, leave my height to Mamie Jean Herring in hopes that she will not be pushed about so much on the 'basketball -:ourt in future years. I, Blanche Williams, bequeath my ability to flirt to Virginia Grant. Be careful Jenny Lou. I, Nolan Hinson, leave my ability to capture the hearts of the fairer sex to Rex Price. I, Margaret Maxwell, leave my musical talents to Clara Creel, hoping to hear her some day in the Met. I, A. J. Herring, leave my black hair and good looks to Grover Williams. Make good use of it Grover. I, Marie Williams, leave my dramatic talent to Donald Hinson, so that the Gold- masquers will have some competition next year from the Junior Class of Seven Springsl I, Ashton Dawson, leave my ability to get out of class to Chester Sutton, especially when .Albert needs help. I, W. C. Sanderson, will my athletic ability to Donald CHorvathj Davenport, and my .500 batting average and number 9 basketball suit to Jake Maxwell. You lucky boys.

I, Sally Cottle, leave my sarcasm to Christine Smith so that she will not be hurting people's feelings anymore. I, Lorena Lamm, leave my quiet and gentle ways to Pete Jones. Now maybe there will be less noise around Seven Springs. E I, Cleon Bowden, leave my stoutness to Eunice Smith so that she'll not have to eat so much. I, Irene Mozingo, leave my outstanding freckles to Alice Price so that my freckles will replace her pimples. I, Kenneth Lane, leave my ability to be courteous to everybody to the Seven Springs girls. I, Ellen Bartlett, leave my job as drawing advertisements for the annual to any Junior who is unlucky enough to get it. I, Mildred Williams, leave my luck to Bobby Whitley so maybe then she can keep up with Roger. I, Jewel Dawson, leave my soft heart and sentimental feelings for others,to Shirley Coker. Shirley will have to polish is up a bit, however. I used it so often it's all tarnished. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. 'They will :ove them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved usg they will show them fill 2112 same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us: they 'will feel :he same interest in their attempts and successes, the same sorrow when they fail. We 'trust that the Class of 1951 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand 'over to them.
