Finally, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Mauney send their home-room students, the Class of 1952, into the world with the prayer that each one will think about whatever is TRUE, whatever is PURE, whatever is LOVELY, and whatever is GRACIOUS. In witness whereof, We, the Class of 1952, have to this our will, set our hands and seal this Commencement day, Anno Domni, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two. Jolene Drum and Alma Jo Shook, Testators PROPHECV Here I. EDNA AUSTIN, sit day-dreaming in the comfort of an estate high in the moun- tains. It is now the year I960, and as I sit here, I remember this day in 1952. The graduat- ing class of St. Stephens High School was gathered together for the last time, but today I see them - - some whe re. As I close my eyes, I see ROSELLA HEFNER, my classmate who was such a talented dancer, now dance instructor at the little school operated by KENNETH PHILLIPS at the end of the valley. At the Mountain Top High School, there are several familiar faces, JOYCE REESE, French instructor, CAROL COOK, the Algebra teacher, and MARGARET FLOWERS, Home Economics teacher, while CATHERINE SETZER, is the dietitian. It’s hard to be- lieve, but SAM ECKARD is principal here. Nearby JIMMIE LAWS, pilot, and MAX SIGMON, co-pilot, are on a flight or getting prepared for one at the airport owned by RAY YOUNT. ROALINE GILBERT, short as ever, is airline stewardess with BARBARA MINGUS as her assistant. I knew Jimmie, Max, and Ray could never be separated. Anyone wishing to stay overnight on the mountain would enjoy staying at the Hef-Kill Hotel owned by GRADY HEFNER and JERRY KILLIAN. Indeed, I believe the food would be enjoyable, for I read that DEAMES HUFFMAN is the head cook. At the village church around the corner, I hear DOROTHY BOLIEK, organist at the little church, beginning her prelude for the service. The “Mountain Top Journal” is owned by DALE PROPST. Society editor, HOPE LOWMAN and Editorial editor, ELIZABETH STINSON, are very busy getting today’s edi- tion ready. Far from home I recognize RUBY LANIER, first woman President of the United States, and AILEEN BUMGARDNER, Vice-President. The President’s private secretaries are MAZEL COOK and SHIRLEY MATTHEWS. MELVIN HOLLAR and NORMA JEAN DRUM have charge of the President’s flower gardens. The hospital on the top of the mountain has four members of our class on the nursing staff: ALMA JO SHOOK, head of the first floor, KATHLEEN WAGNER and MARY LOU HARRISON, heads of the second and third floors respectively. HATTIE FRANKLIN is in charge of the children’s ward. In the office I'm glad to observe that REBECCA KILLIAN is the supervisor. NORMA BECK, one of our class artists, is now interior decorator of Miller’s Dress Shop half way up the mountain. NADINE BROWN is model here, while MAX MILLER is owner of the shop. As the homes pass before my view, I see FRANKIE DAVIS, NORMA JEAN HEFNER, MARY CATHERINE DEITZ, GLENN RAY MITCHELL, CARL BAKER, and ARLENE SHOOK, all happily married. Now I hear music from a concert being held in the auditorium. There is a sign which reads, “PEGGY LANE, guest singer for tonight. ’’ I also recognize VIRGINIA KILLIAN, JOLENE DRUM, ELAINE FRY, and MARTHA JEAN KILLIAN, who compose the Mountain Top Quartet. These girls are happy, I know, for they always loved to sing. MARLENE KILBY is their accompanist. In the audience I behold many familiar faces. First, I see Mr. and Mrs. MILLARD WILLIAMS, Mr. and Mrs. Terrell Campe, (Mrs. Canipe is the former JULIE DRUM), and Mr. and Mrs. Roy Wilson, (Mrs. Wilson is my clas smate,WILMA BUMGARNER). There seated on the front row are RONDEL BRENDLE and BOBBY HUFFMAN, owners of the Top Fill Service Station. This seems to be the night for celebration because the farmers have come to town. There are GUY MATTHEWS, DENNY McKINNEY, JAMES SETZER, ERNEST HERMAN, JACK HOUSTON, and TOMMY BOLICK. Why, there are no girls with them! Do you suppose neither of those boys has married? CHARLES RAY BOLICK, DAVID GRANGER, JACKIE MURPHY, THOMAS HOKE, and KENNETH HEDRICK must be home on a furlough for they’re ail dressed in some of Uncle Sam’s uniforms. GAIL FRY and BETTY HERMAN are Wacs and have just returned home. As usual, they’re laughing at a joke. Oh, how homesick all this has made me ! Well, some of our classmates are together, anyway, even if I do feel so alone.

Old Hickory WorfcOothes Hickory j __________ 7kty XJ V' 1 VT HISTORV Four years ago, we Seniors walked into St. Stephens as green Freshmen. We couldn't quite get used to the idea of being in high school, but under the supervision of our capable leaders. Miss Sherrill and Mr. Clarke, we finally became Sophomores. As Sophomores we were still inclined to act as Freshmen , for we were still unimportant. This year we were divided into three sections under the leadership of Miss Sherrill, Mrs. Anderson, and Mr. Ledbetter. In our third year our home-room teachers were the same. As Juniors we sponsored the Junior-Senior banquet which was held at the Lake Hickory Country Club with the Hawaiian, theme predominating. To raise money, we sold magazines. Our Class officers were: President-Dorothy Bolick; Vice-President-Charles Bolick; Secretary-Elizabeth Stinson; Treasurer-Aileen Bumgard- ner. We now have reached our goal so far as high school is con- cerned. Under the leadership of the following class officers we feel that we have accomplished something, at least: President - Dale Propst; Vice-President-Elaine Fry; Secretary-Aileen Bum - gardner; Treasurer-Carl Baker. We are grateful to our Senior advisers, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Mauney, for helping us in this most important year. We have been extremely busy with our regular work plus a number of extra-curricular activities. This Corona itself shows some of the work we've done. As we walk down the road of Life we shall always remember our faithful teachers and our principal, Mr. Murray, who have led us and directed us from the beginning to the end of our high school journey. $ We shall never forget St. Stephens High where the best years of our lives have been spent, and as we depart, we sing with one accord: Dear Old St. Stephens High School, We sing your praise. Your fame shall be our aim, Through all our days. Oh! Raise aloud the Chorus! When we leave your portals, Be we far or nigh. We'll be found cheering for St. Stephens High. MARLENE KILBY, CHARLES RAY BOLICK, Historians CLASS POEM After twelve years of work and laughter We are beginning something new, For we leave St. Stephens, our Alma Mater To make our dreams come true. We work, not for school, but for life -- This has been our motto--our star. Teachers, one and all, have laid the groundwork, So success seems not too far. St. Stephens, we your sons and daughters March boldly into the race of life; Each Senior prepared to take his place Is determined to win each strife. Our banner made of blue and white Waves proudly in each heart. Our red rose, symbol of true love, Will shed its fragrance as we part.
