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

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
