CLASS WILL As years roll on to closing time And June is drawing near, Remembrance of high school entrance Returns as memories dear. We'll not forget the days spent here, The studies and the play; The laughing joys of high school life; Our years seem but a day. — We'll miss you all as we go on To another world somewhere, But first we’ll leave a little bit Of what we have to share. To Juniors all, we leave our love; You’ve been a vital part Of golden days, and you have helped Put Star High in our heart. To Mr. Lester we would leave Our deep appreciation For your concern about our grades, Our work and recreation. To Mrs. Shamburger, kind and true, We give our thanks sincere For love and understanding ways And guidance through the year. To other high school teachers kind We leave our hope sincere That future classes better shine In work than we this year. To Janitor Price we leave our rooms With hopes they may be clean When you start your checking ‘round No dust will dare be seen. To future athletes, this we leave, Our suits and balls and gear. Hold up the record we have made Throughout the coming year. To those to whom our textbooks go We leave notes and directions. If you would care to profit so You make a few collections. To Clyde Stutts, Clarence Williams leaves His English composition To aid him when he gets behind And help his disposition. To Jinnie Caudill, Eloyd gives His tenderest affection. George Kivett leaves his Council seat To W. C.’s direction. By Joan to Erla Mae bequeathed A waistline small and dainty. To Helen comes the self-control Of Billy Don, the saintly.

fe pRoparey In nineteen hundred sixty-two, one day in late September, I happened back in Star High School, the place I well remember. As I wandered in and out the halls old faces kept appearing. I wondered how my old classmates throughout the years were faring. At length, tired out with wandering and musing on the past, I laid my head upon a desk and sleep claimed me at last. And unto me a phantom came--a woman grey and old. She offered, if I cared to hear, our fortunes to unfold. I asked about our fair Louise, had she achieved much fame, To learn she now just takes her ease while Tom reports the game. June Allen doctors worn out cars; Floyd Owens is a salesman; And Ola Mae, we're glad to say, gained riches through the mailman. My phantom told me Billy Don had drawn some noted cartoons; While Hal, a famous Circus man, was teaching tricks to baboons. In New York, too, lived Evelyn; her interests were divided. With great success she trained her dogs; fine music she provided. Bill M. and Edward H. are now lieutenants in North China While Clifford still works on his farm in central Carolina. In Carolina’s science lab Dr. Kern has made a pill; This, she claims, will surely cure you of whatever makes you ill. Colette and Verla Mae now nurse; Kyle and Bobby entered West Point; While on a trip to New Port News, Clarence bought out a gambling joint. Fadene, a Williams now is she; Aileen her nearest neighbor, Their curly-headed children now provide their hardest labor. Our mathematician, Roger M., is now a noted teacher; While Jimmie Brown, ‘tis strange to say, has got to be a preacher. Most useful citizens are they wherever is their station, They minister to heart and mind to make a better nation. As criminal lawyer in New York, George Kivett hangs his shingle; While Doris Needham stays at home and marries Marcus Dingle. George Coggin studied long and hard to make a radio speaker While Donald made an engineer lest bridges become weaker. This ends the tale of those I knew in the Class of °49. I waked to find it just a dream about good friends of mine. May fortune treat them just as well when on their own they wander. I°ll close this tale ere’t gets too long and too much time you squander. 16
