When the teachers saw us first I declare we thought they would burst, They threw up their hands in fright Saying, I’ll be glad when they go home tonight. Eight of the present Seniors started the first day They vowed they would really make those teachers pay During the second year Patsy and five other refugees joined our class They soon found out that work they must if they wanted to pass. The third and fourth grade each gave two And then the fifth grade came into view In the fifth we learned how to stand and sit And we first heard the expression, If the shoe fits you wear ’t.” The sixth and seventh grade each gave one From Red Bank and Patrick Springs came their favorite son They were called by Charles and Kenny And have proved to be not worth a penny. From Central Academy came Lilian and Dot And we ' ve never been able to keep them apart. With these loyal members we completed the eighth grade So here’s where Mrs. M. Hopkins came to our aid. Beginning the ninth grade we started down the road to success Still keeping our childish ways we must confess. During this year we gained three new faces Frank, Evelyn, and Mary Joyce were shown to their places. During the tenth and eleventh we gained not one Each of our teachers began wishing for a gun. The Junior and Senior Banquet now came into view Our days lett in the eleventh were now very few. In the twelfth came a boy named Squirt ' We must confess he is not much of a flirt. During this year we found there was more to school than fun And that your homework must always be done. Now that we have related our history From the first through the twelfth We would like to tell you just a few More things about ourself. To make the boys basketball team we think is an honor Our Senior ball players must put on their black and orange armor. To these boys we wish lots of luck And hope along the way they never get stuck. 17 We think Frank Heath is quite a boy; With the girls he’s really a coy; He’s always so nice and quiet in school His greatest pleasure is shooting pool.” Ralph and Edward are two nice boys Instead of bringing books to school they bring their toys. They always manage to have lots of fun Although Mr. Watins made them give up their squirt gun. Now, old Thomas, he’s seen most everywhere From the teachers desk to the principal’s chair. In bookkeeping he always picks at Shirley Faye And in any class you can hear him I must say!” Dud’s new motto is Cheaper by the dozen” Whenever he speaks to a girl he tells that blonde it was only his cousin. He’s still a great friend so girls don ' t cry Because now you know that Dud’s not really shy. Idallas, Charlene, Betty Mae, and Belle are the greatest of pals And everyone seems to like these four gals. We wish the best to Betty Lou Q. and Elizabeth Handy And we think as future wives they’ll make a dandy. We must say something good about David Church He’s a good friend and we call him Perch”. William Lee never has to look at a book But at a pretty girl, he’ll always look. Betty Lou, Patsy, and Barbara will be dreading to say goodbye, They are our three best guards and the pride of Stuart Hi. Betty Sue and Betty Ann our history writers Proved to be of value to their educators. With Bill Simmions goes our good wishes And we hope Betty Lou never makes him help wash the dishes. Now Charles take our advice this is a new year Everyone likes you and you’ll graduate, never fear. Now old Kenny, he ' s just a plague to the faculty, But we must admit everything he does is with the greatest accuracy. We can tell Kenny’s going to be a man of the world, From the way he looks at all the girls. This is an old saying but still very true Evelyn, lots of luck always to you. Mary Joyce, we hope your future will always be sunny, And why does Harry always call you Honey”? Every good thing must come to an end And so our class history is almost over. Maybe someday our names will be among the greatest of men, And we can spend the rest of our days in clover. BETTY SUE and BETTY ANN Historians 18 AUTOGRAPHS 19 CLASS PROPHECY As the years drift swiftly by, there are always pleasant memories of the past. At the top of the heap are the memories of the Class of ' 53 and the good times we had together. The other day, I was thinking of all my classmates so I decided to find out just what they are doing here in 1963. Some of my friends 1 hear about in the news every day. The whole sports world is talking about the records Dud Clark set this year in his Darlyne Rocket V-16 at Indianapolis. David Church is designing new type jet and rocket planes for the Air Force. The great comedian, Kenny Cain, stole the show in the Broadway comedy hit Idiot’s Delight.” The most popular hillbilly singer of radio, T. V., and the juke boxes is Charlene Roberson. Coach Donald Squirt” Jones of N. C. State is expecting another championship basketball team. I decided to take a day off from my job as confidential secretary to the Governor of Virginia in order to journey back to Stuart to find out about the rest of the gang. As I stepped off the bus at Stuart, a big truck pulled up beside me. ' How about a ride, Lillian?” the driver called. When I turned around, I saw Thomas Inmon, who I learned was owner of Inmon Nation- Wide Trucking, Inc. I told Thomas to drop me off at a good restaurant, so he took me to a new one on Main Street. To my surprise, there was Elizabeth Handy, as quiet as ever, doing a fine job serving the most delicious meals in town. After talking for some time, I found out that she had the low-down about all the Seniors of ’53. Our friend Charles Flippin had become moderately rich as owner and operator of Flippin Floppin Grocery Store, Flip-over-Bar-B-Q, and the new Super Service Center. Bill Simmons and his wife, the former Betty Lou Collins, are living on a big farm near Stuart. They are bringing up a family, which they hope will become great farmers and basket¬ ball players. Ralph Beasley was described to me as being very large (250 lbs.) He appears to be a very prosperous candy merchant, although it seems that he must have eaten an enormous quantity of his profits. Frank Heath is running a burlesque show which is touring the country. He hasn’t married, yet, because he can’t figure out which of his chorus girls he likes best. 20 Residing near Stuart is Idallas Holt, being a faithful and loving wife to her husband, Admiral Curry. Betty Mae Fain, after finishing her nurse’s training at Mt. Airy, went to Lewis-Gale Hospital in Roanoke. She has now worked herself up to the position as head nurse. Barbara Willard went to college and got her Masters degree. She is now visiting teacher in the Patrick County School system. Patsy Goard is enjoying her job as Secretary to the President. (That is, secretary to the President of the Y. M. C. A.) Betty Sue Martin married soon after finishing high school, but she didn’t let that interfere with her career as a hair stylist in New York. Betty Lou Quesinberry married her former boss and is now living in North Carolina. We thought Edward Gray was foolish when he took so much time off from school to work his tobacco, but it paid off. He now owns Gray Tobacco Co. (Warehouses No. 1 and No. 2 at Five Forks, Virginia.) Mary Joyce Fields lived in Stuart for three years and then returned to Washington where she is now the secretary of the secretary of the Secretary-of-the-Army. Evelyn Blaylock who was always so studious, got her Ph. D. and is now Dean of Women at V. P. I. Dorothy Hughes stayed at home for a few years and then married a diplomat. Now, she is traveling all over Europe. Betty Ann Stigall, they say, is chief stewardess of the American Airlines. After flying around the country and getting acquainted with all the pilots, she finally married a submarine captain. Belle Hopkins started out in the newspaper business with the Enterprise. She worked her way up and she is soon going to start a new column in the Baltimore Sun. All the Class of ’53 seem to be doing well or better except William Lee Ross. He started out with a good job but his employer got tired of his awful jokes and fired him. The last they heard of him he was traveling on the best trains—as a hobo. Some say his luck has become even worse since then. 21 Class Prophets: LILLIAN WILLIAMS WILLIAM LEE ROSS WHO ' S WHO Betty Ann Stigall—Frank Heath Biggest Flirts Patsy Goard—Kenneth Cain Class Clowns Duk Clark Teacher’s Pet Donald Jones—Barbara Willard Most Athletic Betty Mae Fain Most Dignified Belle Hopkins Best All Around 22 WHO ' S WHO Betty Lou Collins-—Bill Simmons Best Looking Evelyn Blaylock Most Studious Betty Lou Quesinberry Quietest 23 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We of the Senior Class of 1952-53, in hope that we will not be forgotten, bequeath the following things of our belongings, being sound in health, body and mind.
