SIGNED by us this_day of 2Z2o L- (prtOAjd 19 Zo Senior Class - Swannanoa High School WITNESSES: 2 ±- ■C STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ) ) BUNCOMBE COUNTY ) On the date above mentioned, THE SENIOR CLASS OF SWANNANOA HIGH SCHOOL personally appeared before me, and they acknowledged this to be a true Will and Testament, properly executed in the presence of two witnesses (?). TTv. Notary Public - State of North Carol ina J Since I was so unfortunately assigned the horrible task of writing the Prophecy, and finding myself without a single idea, I decided to call upon Madam Hoga Penny for some help. After we agreed upon a fee, which was slightly more than unreasonable, she started to perform various wierd tasks, some of which were to adjust the dials on her crystal ball; to clear the fuzz from the radar screen; and proceed to chew an oversized chaw of terbacci as she chose to call it. During this interval I sat in silence with visions of dollar bills going up in smoke. So, deciding to break the silence, I cleared my throat and managed to say er-ah when she boomed forth in a voice of such intensity that I expected the crystal ball to disentegrate before my very eyes--But what I heard was worth the money, time and discomfort. Xn her own words X quote: I see in my crystal ball--Anne Burnette is a jocky and lives in Louisville, Ky.; Mary LeMaster now edits her own joke book; Rose Abram now sings with Vaughn Monroe’s orchestra; Jimmie Ruth King is a dentist; Arvel Silvers is the star of the Rodeo ; Nadine Deweese coaches a winning ball club at Swannanoa; Neal Bartlette is president of the Swannanoa Bank Trust Company; Jack Smith is an F.B.I.

And with that I left very much contented and also very broke. • ri V� se I £ y c Q Asyu)ow 7 Pvzjl. cl na r _ V.

It will be only one more year until we will have to meet the challenge of this modem age. When we started this climb in 1947, we had seventy-two students, and our spon¬ sors, Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Brown, finally succeeded in promoting most of us. During the struggle on the second rung of the ladder, Mr. Neill and Miss White were our sponsors. After these two trying years we have only fourty-three students left. We sincerely hope that they all finish the hard climb up the ladder so they will be prepared to face the future.

We have some outstanding athletes in our class of whose records we are proud. On the football squad we have Hilliard Owens, Jimmy Webb, and Frank Pullium. Our boys who play basketball are James Johnson and Clinton Strickland. We have some fine athletes among our girls. Pat Stevens, Peggy Rayburn, Elaine Fox, Fay Bartlette play some fine basketball. We have representatives from our class in every club and organization in school. These include The Beta Club, Science Club, F. H. A. and F. F. A. The S 1 Club is also represented. We are proud to claim a beauty in our class. None other than Patricia Stevens. She won the Lux Beauty Contest for Buncombe County and competed in the State contest. She received a watch and a make-up kit as gifts. We are happy to have her in our class. We lost one member of our class when Carolyn Martin left us at Christmas time to get married. Good luck and bon voyage to Carolyn Martin and her husband on their trip on the sea of matrimony. We think we are a fine and outstanding class but there are times when our dear teacher has other opinions of our abilities. We interviewed him on one of his better days and here is what he had to say: Phooey.

Mr. Medlin made a big hit with the students at the very beginning. The students all knew that their second year in high school would be a happy one, especially with Mr. Medlin as teacher. Many of the students are interested in sports. Several of our students play on the basketball teams, also football team. There are two girls in our class who are cheerleaders. There are several boys and girls in our class who belong to various clubs. More of our girls are interested in clubs than the boys. For recreation in our class, we had a Christmas party. It was a happy and gay hour with Mr. Medlin furnishing party hats. Everyone had a wonderful time. OUR CLASS SUPERLATIVES ARE: Best Dressed Best Looking. • . Best Personality.

CLASS OFFICERS PRESIDENT Jim Stroupe v v ISE PRESIDENT Shirley Lewis SECRETARY TREASURER Pettve Mavhew Floyd Waldrup 9B-1 ?f ar 3 7 boy3 and girls eagerly awaited the day when Old faithful, the school, closed for three whole months. Oh, happy day! Or so we thought. When the day finally arrived we found out i was going to be pretty hard to leave our happy teacher. Happy because she was getting rid of us, I guess. JVe kind, of hated to leave those wonderful recesses behind, but, just think, we would be big boys and girls next year. We would get a chance to change classes. And so there we were, embarking on a new adventure on the rough and stormy sea of life in our great ship 9B-1, ready again to match our wits against our poor homeroom teacher and others we were to associate with. But if I do say 30 myself, we have done pretty well with Miss Ruth White at the ' helm. Our class officers have also done a fine job. They are: Jim Stroupe, president; Shirley Lewis, Vice president; Bettye Mayhew, secretary; and Ployd Waldrup, treasurer. We had several boys on the football team with Jim Stroupe making first team. Several of them also played basketball; and they are: Floyd Waldrup, Jim Stroupe, Marvin Slaughter, and Bobby Sragg.

On August 29, 1949� twenty-six anxious, unsuspecting freshmen entered the portals of Swannanoa High. Most of the old grammar school gang were back and we had several new members. They were Betty Crowell from Alabama, Joann Ensley from Black Mountain, and Prances Dover, West Asheville. Soon after school began, two of our beloved members left us. They were Jimmy Poteat and Patsy Croy. During the latter part of the first semester, Rose Candler and Joann Lee moved away. Joyce Weatherly came from South Carolina to join our noble ranks. Two of our boys, Jim Ward and ’’Cob Hughey, helped carry the Warriors to victory in football. Jim also helps the blue and gold in basket¬ ball. Imogene Cody represents the freshmen as Cheerleader. Ten of our girls joined the P. H. A. and were we a sight during the initiation! Two of our girls be¬ long to the Science Club. We have learned a lot this year and have had lots of fun. I am sure the year 1949-50 will be a memorable one for us all. With the guidance and help of our homeroom teacher, Miss Nancy Wrenn, we have covered the first rough year and are looking forward to next year with joy.
