As young people, we are prone not to express our feelings for the things we appreciate, although such sentiment is attached to them. We dedicate this 1956 an- nual to Miss Holleman and Mrs. Brewer, who are our homeroom teachers. To us, each has been a counselor, a shaper and molder of char- acter, and a real friend. • Business Manager EMILY BOLING Art Editor JIMMY WILLIAMS Associate Editor TED SETZER AD STAFF Linda Earle Pete Poe Jean Lambert TYPISTS Betty Lou Smith Peggy Rogers Martha Foster PHOTOGRAPHERS Peggie Goode Elizabeth Milliken Milton Hall I want to congratulate the Annual Staff for making this book possible. It will provide us with many hours of pleasure as we look through it in the years to come. It will bring back to us the fond memories of the days spent at Siler City High School. I express my appreciation to the students and the faculty for your fine cooperation in making this a pleasant school year. To the seniors, who are leaving us this year, I wish for you much success and happiness in the days that are to come. r MR. FRANK L.

It was not until the eighth year of school that our class was united, since some had gone to Henry Siler School and others to the High School up to that time. The teachers. Miss Milliken and Mr. Jones, did their best in preparing us for real high school. When the bell sounded to start our ninth year, we were at long last Freshmen, ready for anything high school could offer, and we thought that was a lot. Mrs. Foust and Mr. Alston had the job of guiding us as home room teachers. With the leadership of these and the other teachers and our class officers — Paul Beane, President; Mike Duncan, Vice President; Pat Duncan, Treasurer; and Jenny Elder, Secre- tary — this year fairly flew. At the end we felt that we had been grown-up students all our lives. Following a short summer vacation, our title of Freshman suddenly became Sophomore; all set for another year of advancement, under the guidance of Miss Smith and Mr. Poston, we filed in and took our place. James Duffie was elected President of the class. Joe Lambert, Vice President; Pat Duncan, Treasurer; and Janice Brady, Secretary, were his supporting cast. Most of us began to be interested in extra curricular activities for the first time. Some joined the various clubs and others participated in athletics. Out of these associations we gained experiences which have helped us these years as well as in all our lives to come. Though we didn’t take any special honors, we advanced a great deal in every way. Aftr a brief respite from schoolwork, came our Junior year. As home room teachers we had Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Lane, whose advice came in handy many times during this eventful year. Our first job was to elect class officers. Pete Poe won the important job of President with Wade Paschal, Vice President; Franklin Culberson, Treasurer; and Elizabeth Milliken, Secretary. Jenny Elder and Emily Boling were elected banquet chairmen. These girls were largely responsible for our successful Junior-Senior Banquet. To raise money for the project, we conducted a magazine sale from which we realized a tidy sum. Of course we thought our banquet was the finest ever to be given. That year, the Boys’ Basketball Team won the County championship. We had several from our class participating: James Duffie, Franklin Culberson, Wade Paschal, Pete Poe, Morris Blair, Wayne Brady, and C. L. Brooks. Marshals, picked on the basis of scholastic averages, were Jenny Elder, Joanne Boling, Judy Boling, Jean Marsh, Janice Brady, Chief; Linda Earle, Jimmy Williams, and Franklin Cul- berson. Jenny Elder and Emily Boling represented us at Girls’ State, while to Boys’ State we sent Franklin Culberson, Wade Paschal, and Pat Duncan. These lucky students had a very en- joyable time learning about functions of government and making new friends. Following another short vacation, we reached what once seemed a dim and unattainable goal — our Senior year. Electing some capable class officers was of the utmost importance, so this became our first job as seniors. Paul Beane was chosen President; Elizabeth Milliken, Vice President; Franklin Culberson, Treasurer; and Janice Brady, Secretary. Quite naturally, we w’anted to put out the best annual ever. Picked to head the annual staff as Editor-in-Chief was Jenny Elder, with Emily Boling as Business Manager. They, with the cooperation of every senior, and Miss Holleman as advisor, worked hard to make our annual the success it became. Receiving our class rings w ' as another happy event. We got them early in the fall, so that we enjoyed them a long time before separating. Also, quite a few had disappeared or had been swapped for others by the time Christmas arrived. Our athletic teams again had a very successful year. Representing our class in football were Charles Scott and Mike Duncan, Co-Captains; Joe Lambert, Phil Edwards, Pat Duncan, Wade Paschal, Morris Blair, Wayne Brady, James Duffie, Sherrill Phillips, and Charles Hicks. Participating in basketball were Frances Hammer, Jean Marsh, Judy Boling, Jenny Elder, Jean Lambert, Peggie Goode, Linda Earle, James Duffie, Wade Paschal, Franklin Culberson, Pete Poe, Morris Blair, Pat Duncan, and C. L. Brooks. Later on, during the warm spring afternoons, you could find Morris Blair, Pete Poe, James Duffie, Pat Duncan, Phil Edwards, Wade Paschal, Franklin Culberson, and Charles Hicks en- gaged in the grand old game of baseball. Charles Scott, a member of our class, won the trophy for most valuable football player. Soon it was the last month of school and things happened so fast we could hardly take time to enjoy each one. First came the banquet, at which we were guests receiving a sort of send-off by the Juniors. Then the Senior play (after the competition of choosing inspired actors, etc.) was presented; and we felt our labors were rewarded. Next came the day when our annuals arrived and, for several days, we did nothing but sign them, it seemed. But somehow we got through our exams and reached our graduation. Many bells had rung for us during our school years, and always we answered them. With the sounding of that final bell, in May, 1956, came the realization that no longer were w ' e children; but adults — prepared, we hoped, for the rocky road of life. WADE PASCHAL Historian Class Prophecy Could it be a dream? There I was in a spaciously decorated hall. It was the year ’66 and a ball was being given by the popular comedian team, Kenneth McPherson and James Duffie. The invita- tion had said they were celebrating their latest movie release: The Goon and I ; and all of their classmates of 1956 had been invited. As I walked in, Shirley Wright gave me a lovely corsage from Jerre Sue Routh ' s florist shop. Nancy Chappell was standing nearby taking pictures of the guests as they came in. These were to be placed on display in Milton Hall’s Studios. I was about to pinch myself to see if I really were dream- ing when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. Turning quickly, I saw Emily Boling, who as usual was asking, Have you seen my glasses? Sherrill Phillips and Eddie Spence walked up at that time and told me that Emily, being the business manager for the Ultra-Modern Rocket Lines, was getting an estimate from their company, Phillips-Spence Contractors, Inc., for a remodeling job on her offices. The owner of the lines, Ted Setzer, was handing out free tickets on which was printed this slogan: Take a trip on a rocket, and have a grand ball; It’s a quick way ( sotnetimes) to get away from it all. (One of Ted’s pilots, Bobby Parks, was there to back him up in this slogan.) Not being ready for this venture and wanting to meet all of my friends, I said goodbye and went over to the side of the room where Jerry Stuart and Penny Phillips were tuning up their instruments for a little hill-billy music. Also getting tuned up was Peggy Goode, their jug player, who wowed their audiences with her vocalizing too. Tonight she was having some competition, however, from Elizabeth Milliken, the vocalist for Josephine Murray’s all-girl band. She was warming up for the presentation of her latest hit record, Don’t Call Me Libby, Call Me Lib! The lyrics for this song had been written by the great literary artist, Fayedene Andrews, who writes songs on the side as a hobby. After having met all these friends, I continued round the floor until I bumped into Viola Cain and Judy Boling, who are nurses for the great surgeon, Phil Edwards. They showed me a picture of him, which had appeared in a local newspaper after he had discovered a cure for indolence. (Of course, they were on the picture too; why else would they be showing it?) Seeing the Governor — the Honorable Paul Beane, Congressman Wade Paschal, and Lawyer Mike Duncan, I went over to speak to them. During our conversation, I learned that a great number of bills were being passed lately — passed over to the table, that is. Leaving them to talk over the state’s problems, I went on to talk to Joe Lambert — driver of atomic patrolled race cars. He told me a funny little tale about his last race. It seemed that his mechanics — Bruce Trogdon and Melvin Womble — had gotten some of the mechanisms of his car in the wrong place, and when the gun was fired for the race to begin, the car shot backward instead of forward. I won by a country mile, ” Joe drawled. Pete Poe, an expert in atomic energy who had invented the car, was beaming happily at Joe’s side. He had had a considerable ' bet on that race, so that was one mistake that paid off. Ann Petty and Peggy Rogers came by at that time and I remarked about their amazing hair-dos. Peggy explained that it was called the Einstein Wave and was created especially for secretaries to make them more intelligent. Just behind them Ellen Dry — private secretary for Franklin Culberson in his chemical research laboratory — was asking Judy Craven, hair stylist for Betty Sue Phillips s Beauty Salon, if she had learned to give the Twice-Stein Wave yet. It’s supposed to make you twice as smart as Einstein,” Ellen said. Not waiting to hear Judy’s answer, I wandered over to join a large group who were looking at some beautiful paintings. I met here jet pilot Jimmy Allred, who was being interviewed by Shelby Gilliam, a well-known writer for Spectacular magazine. I learned from them that these paintings had been done by the celebrated artist, Jimmy Williams. Also among this group were Earl Cox and C. L. Brooks, who had recently discovered uranium on their farm lands. Since then, they had had a lot of free time and extra money, so they had developed quite an interest in ' pro’ baseball. ith them was their favorite player, Morris Blair — a pitcher for the Yankees who enrages the batters of the other team by crooning to them his favorite tune, The Tender Trap.” Just beyond was another group of athletes: Charles Scott, Wayne Brady, and Charles Hicks, talk- ing over their experiences. Wayne, presently coaching at Siler City High School, was trying to learn something about the plays used by the Red Skins for whom Big Charlie and Roly-Poly were playing. They seemed to be lost in a world all their own, so I walked on. Soon I met Bishop Pat Duncan who, with Jenny Elder, the director of Christian Education for his church, was talking to Jean Lambert, a medical missionary recently returned from Alaska. We had just begun to chat when several loud shrieks of laughter drew our attention to a small table near-by. We found that the excitement was being caused by Jean Marsh, who was sketching some of the characters from the comic strip she had created, Jerry’s Antics. Helen Gunter, Jean’s advisor, was laughing hardest of all — being paid for it, she couldn ' t afford not to. Two second grade teachers. Gay Boren and Joanne Johnson, were looking on with much interest. They said comic strips had now become a part of the modern educational system. With these teachers were Martha Foster, who had come into renown by designing some of the world’s most exciting fashions, and a glamorous model, Betty Lou Smith, who was wearing one of these creations. Talking to Martha was Linda Earle, who seemed to be quite excited about the good fortune that had come to the manager of her store, Joanne Boling. Joanne had won $64,000 on a TV Quiz program, sponsored by Virginia Barker’s 5-lOc store. Her category had been cooking and she had selected as her partner an expert in the field, Frances Ham- mer. (Joanne is now married and has lovely twin girls.) Just at that instant a bell began to ring and in walked Gary Stout and several of the waiters and waitresses from his restaurant, carrying large trays of food. They came over and asked us to take our choice. Of course I picked a large piece of strawberry shortcake and was just beginning to eat it when I heard another bell; but this one didn ' t stop ringing, and it sounded quite familiar. Suddenly my cake disappeared; and I realized that I wasn ' t in a banquet hall at all but only in study hall; and that was the old 3 o’clock bell that meant we could go home. As I walked out the door, I thought how strange it was to have that surprising peep into the future, and I’m eager for the years to roll by so I can see if it all comes true.
