CLASS PRIIPIIECY IIIIMEZ 1961 PLACE: Floating on my little cloud, playing my little harp. REASON EOR SUCII CONDITION: Died waiting for the 3 olclock bell. VVhile fioating on my little cloud playing my little harp I pass over Nashville. Ahl I see Barbara Trogdon writing Hill-Billy songs for Patsy Pendergrass to yodel on Soapy Siler's Washed-Up Rangersi' sponsored by Henry's new wash- ing Miracle Soaper Sudsf' As I pass over San Antonio, Texas, I see Pete and james trying to get baby sitters for their twins. Coming back to Siler City, I see Sheriff Robert Emerson finding Jimmy Vann's Still-STILL chasing Women. As I pass over Elon College I see Elizabeth Ward at last getting her teacher's certificate in dress styling. Maybe one reason she has accomplished her mark is that Doc Clapp is the new professor-one of those who wants to cover the subject as little as possible. Passing over Fort Uackjson S. C., I see baby sitter Beckey Allred, who loves sitting with the Unfantjry. One of her most ardent customers is Sgt. Jack Treat 'em rough Elkins who says Goo Now Uharpingl' my way over Charlotte I see lumbermen, Charles Campbell and Cleo Scott looking over limbs Glenn Phillips is also hanging around. a lumber yard, hunting for his draft board. Drifting back over Siler City Post Office, I find Nancy Clapp flying after her air Umalef' Also up in the air about her air male', is Betty Ann Allred, who wishes he were tied to a post fofiice would be just finej. As I cruise northward to Portsmouth, Va., I locate Lois Seawell running a beauty shop and washing Mousie,' Light's hair. Mousie is unconsciously singing lim Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair. Now I stop for a coke', and, glancing through the New York Timm, I see in Ann Siler's sports column that Chicago Bears' fullback Paul Ferguson is racking up scores-scores of penalties. On the steps of the Capitol in Washington, I see Babe', Harris trying to get the President to veto a bill that since popcorn makes so much noise, it should be outlawed in theaters. Mary Alice Gilliland and Laurastine James are helping her, because their children will be dissatisfied at the movies without any. 19

Mrs. Howard and our Class President, Jack Pritchard, helped pull us through that third year. 1 Another short vacation-and again we heard the bell beckon us. We knew that when we com leted nine months of school this time we wouldn't be comin back. P v 8 Many of us had this thought in mind as we went from class to class each day. Miss Holleman was there to help us out and to steer us into horneport safely. Our class officers this year were as follows: President, jack Pritchard, Vice-Presi- dent, Joanne Phillips, Secretary, Cleo Scott, Treasurer, Weseline Light. On November 24, the football team played Guilford County in the Odd Fellows Bowl. At the end of a hard-fought game, the score was tied. Both teams re- ceived a trophy and everybody was happy. Members of the Senior Class who played were: Glenn Phillips, Jack Elkins, Paul Ferguson, and Colie Fox QCo- Captainsi, Henry Siler, Robert Emerson, and James Glosson. The school band took part in a parade in which eleven other bands participated, and they tied for first place with the Jamestown band to win a cash prize of twenty-five dollars. On May 4, the day to which both the Juniors and Seniors had been looking for- ward, the Junior-Senior Banquet, was held. It was a very beautiful banquet, and we thank the juniors and Mrs. Howard from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful job they did! CAlrnost as fine as ours.j The next thing on our program was the Senior Play. Even though everybody had a lot of fun preparing for it, we couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when it was over, we hope successfully. Then on commencement day, we realized that we were about to complete our voyage, we were sailing into homeport. As we walked down the aisle and across the stage to receive our diplomas, we were sad because we knew we must soon leave thc things that we had learned to love so well. We don't know what life holds in store for us, but we do know that no matter what happens, we are starting full speed ahead and prepared to face the future with only a slight glance backward at all the good old days gone by. WESELINE LIGHT, Hirzorian. 18

v--qv I see cute little Frances Buckner as I drool over Atlantic City. I hear her tell- ing the boys who are trying to flirt with her: i Cute little face, Cute little figure, Go away boys, 'Till I get a little biggerf, Now passing over Lake Success I see broken hearted Alice Watts, who was re- fused a job as a French interpreter because the first thing she asked was Parlez- vous francais ? Rufus Johnson, the U. S. representative says, Ulf some of them would jump in the lake, we would have more successf' Gliding over Vassar, I see Pee Wee Gaines, who is instructing geometry to Anne Jourdan, who only wants to go around in circles Cchasing menj. Zooming to San Francisco, I seejane Spence playing the piano for Joanne Phillips who is a psychiatrist because she says it helps her get keyed up for silly problems Like Secretary Jean Phillips, who comes to her with the illusion that she is too fat. Back East in Florida, I see Curtis Elmore, the biggest canner of fruit juice in the U. S., but he only cans lemon juice. Could it be becasue of his little wife, the former Bobbie Jean Lemons? In Winston-Salem at a tobacco warehouse I hear Russell Pike jabbering away. He is a tobacco auctioneer who says, You grow it, I'll sell it. Before I go back to my abode I come for one last look at Chatham County. I find Ruth Greene at home with the housework. She has four children and she just about has her hands full. In Bonlee I see LaMarr Poarch preaching to farmer liarl Dowd telling him, Those chicks are too young to fry. Also on a farm is Allcnc Barker, who says, Well, I guess I'm left holding the Bag. llarkl l hear St. Peter calling, so I guess I had better be running along. Hope l sec you ALI. there sometime.
