“
of the Class of 1950.” Prophecy Brenda Turner Danny Tomlinson Mascot Mascot Listen, O yemenand women, youths and maidens, and little children! Listen, allye people of Star, to the words of wisdom from the lips of your prophet, whonow speakethunto you what: hath been revealed unto him, even as it hath been decreed by the powers that be. Fer ithath cometo pass thatthe veil of the future hath been rentin twain, even as it was rent in the days of the wise prophets of old, and the Spirit of Prophecy hath descended from the sphere to envelop my soul with her mystic powers. And lo! As she drew back the curtain of the future, she pointed with a long transparent finger down the avenues of a strange land, and opened her lips and spake unto me saying: “Look! Listen! Prophesy unto the young men and the young women of Star High School even these things which you herein behold.” As I looked into the land of the future I saw our fair Virginia Caudill in the large city, who, with her talented voice, had become queen of a metropolitan opera. And Ilooked again, andthe scene changed toa country schoolhouse. Here mine eyes befell upon Doris Davis. Doris has proven that hard work reaps profits. She is employed by The Piney Grove Board of Education. And againthe scene shifted andI saw Peggy Dunn as the leading critic of a movie syndicate. And I also happened to find myselfin old Mexico, and by chance I came upon Carlis “El Peso” Bennett selling fur coats to the Mexicans. And yea! asI traveled northwardI came toacattle domain, in Bloody Creek, Texas, known as the “Three Finger Ranch” owned by W. C. Johnson. Returning to North Carolina, I learned that Clyde Stutts is employed by the Norfolk and Southern Railroad. co woe unto those who oppose him. Earl Mabe is the star pitcher of the Uwharrie “Red Socks.’ And it came to pass that I looked into the professional circle and I saw Harold Long as President of the Winston-Salen? Barber College. Here too, I saw Becky Freeman as a Home Economics teacher in old Star High School. And it came topass that I visited a carnivaland here I met Erla Mae McKinnon who had joined a burlesque troup. With the same carnival is Toves Hanlon posing as a fat lady. And I saw Joe EdRichardson, now a very wealthy man. Joe made his millions selling the holes in doughnuts. And it came to pass, whileI pondered these things in my heart, thedoor ofa home opened and I saw Sue Carrol Dunn, made happy by a home and family. And again I found myself on a busy highway and here I saw Mary Lou Robbins employed as a truck driver by the Allied Van Lines. Marilyn Mashburn is also the mother of a fine group of youngsters. Jettie Anne Freeman is the leading society matron of Ether. Frances King is the head nurse of the Montgomery County Hospital. And I beheld Rochelle Williams as the secretary of the successful young doctor. I found our mascots. Brenda and Danny, happy Seniors at old Star High. The prophecy of the prophet you ask? I, W. H. Needham, beheld myself as a mining engineer of the Black Ankle Gold Mining Company. me And verily, as the veil was drawn over mine eyes, shutting out from my vision ‘Things to Be,’ and I turned my eyes to ‘Things That Are,’ verilyI say unto you, “Only goodness and truth, and prosperity shall followall the days that are tocome to the fair andtalented members 13

hast VU and eee We, the Class of 1950, in nine- teen individual and distinct parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full possession of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament.

As tosuch estateas ithas pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: ToMr. Lester we leave our everlast- ing appreciation for his patience with us in the past four years, his concern about our grades andhisinterestin our future. Toour homeroom teacher, Mrs. Pearl Shamburger, we leave the admiration and ever-enduring friendship of the Class of 1950 assindividuals as well as avclass: To the remaining high school faculty we leave our sincere hope that they may have as great success with all the future graduating classes as we are sure they feel they have had with us. To Joe Hough goes Joe Richardson’s orderly manners. Frances King leaves her position at the ice cream box to Marie Brewer. Junior Williams is very fortunate in receiving Harold’s ability to answer all questions on class. , Rochelle Williams leaves her sham- poo secretsto Phyllis Phillips. Oh! those golden locks. 14 Ernest Davis and Albert Han- cock can fight over Clyde Stutts’s conceit and good disposition. Jettie Anne’s quiet ways go to Edna, Doyle and Ruth. ea ing bogie SPY Meh eb eKy eo) 9) his marksmanship toDon and Nancy to shoot at each other in Latin and English. “Bozo” Bennett | leaveswito Dona Maness and Edward Wright the responsi- bility of getting the boys to town at lunch time.

Jinnie Caudill leaves her neat ways to Jean Wright. And last but not least, Earl Mabe leaves his athletic ability and position as captain of the basketball team to Jerry Don.
