- XX CLASS HISTGRY 2 I On a certain day in September, 1941, a group of ambitious students entered school for the first V, time. During the years that were to follow many changes were to occur in our class membership. As X .9 we passed from one grade to another we gained new students, and we lost others. In the fall of 1949 this youthful, inexperienced, and somewhat timid group entered high school as 1 freshmen. Mr. J. O. Waters was our principal and Mr. W. L.. Creel was our home room teacher. 929 rung mrs 5...

All of us were eager to get back to 1 school after a pleasant vacation at home. We had looked forward to greeting our school friends whom we had not seen during the summer. Miss Gordon Freeman was our home room teacher. The event :- that we remember most vividly from our sophomore year was our trip to the Cherry Point Marine 1-' Air Station. This was particularly interesting to all. Another highlight of the year was our house party at Kennel's Beach in the spring. The year sped rapidly along and when final examination time j: f' came, we were one step nearer our future goal--graduation. 5 We began our junior year in September, 1951, under our new principal, Mr. I... J. Gann. This - was to be one of our most important years in high school. There were many things that were to claim 3 our attention and interest throughout the year. Our home room teacher was Mrs. Bessie Coalson. 7 We elected the following class officers: A President ........ ........... N elson Price Vice-President . . . . . Emma Jean Kilpatrick l Secretary ....... ..... J usteen Kilpatrick N Treasurer .............. Dorothy Stroud One of the foremost activities of our junior year was our junior-senior banquet. The theme of our banquet was Maytime. The lunch room and gymnasium were attractively decorated with the appropriate flowers. Another of our most important activities was the presentation of our junior play, x if-'fr 3 E 2 S55 35 S 5 Q25 EQ 2 5 :1 nm .-. -3, Q. :ao 'rw :L .

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the class of 1953, of Seven Springs High School, of the County of Wayne, State of North Carolina, U. S. A. , being about to depart forever from the portals of this institution, do hereby make and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, thus revoking any wills or promises made by us heretofore. Article Ig We bequeath to our beloved faculty our undying affection and our deepest gratitude for their wisdom and patience exerted on our behalf. Article II! To the class of 1954 we leave the following: We leave the full responsibility of publishing the Sesprischoan. We leave our seats in chapel with the hope that they will be filled with as much dignity as hereto- fore. We leave our senior dignity. May they uphold it with becoming seriousness, endeavoring to over- come their vivacious and exuberant ways. We leave our honored positions as models for the school--models of wit, wisdom, charm of man- ner, excellency of behaviour, physical development, and intellectual expansion. May heaven help you to stand up under the strain. We leave our senior class home room and all its adornments together with the memories we have accumulated during the years we have occupied it. We leave our ability to throw faculty members off the trail when they imagined we were bluffing. Article Ill, To the hair-brained sophomores we leave the right to prey upon the freshmen, out of season and without reason, to unceasingly torture them with the liabilities thereof.

CLASS PROPHECY As I gaze into the crystal ball many strange and unusual things are foretold for the class of '53. My! My! This class must have had some talented athletes. The crystal ball reveals Donald Davenport as the coach of a championship basketball team in the Southern Conference. He is shown as the winning coach for many seasons. As I continue gazing who comes into view--none other than Burtrell Price. I see that Burtrell is wearing the uniform of the New York Giants. From his jaunty air Burtrell must be one of the high salaried pitchers. He has the look of success about him. As I take a second look at this Giant team I see Jimmy Creel out on third base. What are these figures that have come into view? His salary? Oh no, this is his batting average thatl am seeing. You may not believe this, but the crystal ball foretells that Jimmy's batting average is .475. It has been said that agriculture is the backbone of the nation. If that be so than this class of '53 is doing its share to support our nation. In the crystal ball I see three farmers--James Creech, McRoy Lane and Kenneth Timmons. I can see extensive fields of tobacco and corn, lovely buildings, and great herds of livestock grazing in the pastures. Also in the field of agriculture I see Kenneth Bartlett giving his talents in behalf of our nation's farmers. Kenneth is serving as the Secretary of Agriculture in Washington, D. C. As I look again into the crystal ball I see Emma Jean Kilpatrick in her new home at Williams Mill. She is getting along fine as a housewife and enjoys working in her flower garden. Also being a housewife is Clara Creel, who is kept pretty busywith hertwo children. The crystal ball also foretells that Clara is living in Kinston in a big brick home. Looking a little closer I see Justeen Kilpatrick working at the DuPont plant at Kinston, N. C. She has been promoted to assistant manager and is drawing a high salary. I see big headlines telling of Joyce Lane's courage in the big airplane crash that occurred in New York last week. Joyce is an air stewardess on the Pan American Airlines. As I gaze again I see Hazel Wade as the Head Nurse at the Wayne Memorial Hospital in Goldsboro, North Carolina. She has been working there for the last two years and likes this work very much. ASI glimpse into it this time I see a crowded store in New York. One of the figures in the crowd is Carrie Lou Bowden, a buyer for Jean's in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is on a buying trip in New York. One of Carrie Lou's classmates, Linda Bowden, is in Raleigh. Linda is the manager at the S. 8: W. Cafeteria. She has been gaining a few pounds lately. Gazing a little more intently into the crystal ball I see Lewis Barwick working in his own X-ray laboratory. He is one of the best X-ray technicians in the eastern part of North Carolina. Oh, my! What is this '? I am looking at a group of teen-age girls gathered around a man. What do you know? It's Nelson Price, the famous movie actor. He has been in Hollywood since he gradu- ated from high school. Looking this time, I see a big building in Washington, D. C. This building is the first National Bank. Look who the owner is--none other than Ronald Davenport. He has been very successful with his bank. The crystal ball foretells that the future manager of the Sears Roebuck in Goldsboro will be Johnie Bowden. He appears to have been the manager for about five years. Look what I see this time! Here is David Bartlett in his new 1969 Cadillac. David has worked with General Motors for about eight years. Can you believe it? He has advanced with amazing speed. Here he appears to be one of the officers in the corporation. As I gaze again I see Dorothy Stroud teaching school at Kinston, North Carolina. Dorothy teaches the seventh grade and likes her career very much. She has fifty students and they all like her very much. Over in Korea I see Donald Potter and Edgar Mozingo flying one of the fast jets. Donald .and Edgar have a good record on shooting down the Red jets. They both have shot down a total of thirty jets. They plan to stay in the Air Force for about 20 years, so they can retire when they get out. I continue gazing for awhile longer. Nothing more appears in clear view. Everything has become rather hazy. Well, at least, I have been privileged to take a hasty look into the future. Now I shall put away my crystal ball until a more opportune moment.
