In this year of 1975 It ' s wonderful just to be alive. Science takes many a splendid stride: Just look at this TV set at my side. I twist its dials and twiddle its gears, And lo! What I ' m thinking of, suddenly appears! The Old Class of ' 52 is on my mind; I ' ll tune in on each one and see what I find. First the Big City; I know I ' ll locate Lots of old class-mates who ' ve joined the great. Right! There ' s Reginald, millionaire of Wall Street. His secretaries? Dorothy and Ann, so neat. Ira ' s top man of McCrory ' s chain, And Jack is the treasurer (always a brain!) Hunk and A. W. play with the Philharmonic, And Larry ' s a meteorologist, (supersonic). Robert ' s reached journalistic heights sublime, And Betty now edits both Life and Time . . . And treading the boards of Old Broadway Is Turner, in his world-famous atom-bum play. Carolyn ' s research into X-Ray technique Has won her great fame, and a Cadillac sleek! ' 52 has done well on the educational scene: Famous teachers are Betty Ann, Ronald, Maxine. Johnny teaches too a home-loving guy, He ' s still where we parted, at old Tarb ' ro Hi. Washington City, also claiming its quota, Has Martha and Curtis, representing the voter: He, a delegate to the U.N. , She, working with Civil Service men. While Dorothy, Marguerite, Jean and Shirley Are stenogs at the Pentagon. . . . Their day starts early. Now to the sports world I turn my attention And find several class-mates worthy of mention. In pro baseball some of the stars of the age Are Baker (for the Red Sox) and Morris and Page. Vic Taylor, as manager, once hired and fired, But soon made his fortune, and quickly retired. The world ' s still at war, it will grieve you to hear, And several have made a fine Army career. Dick Bryan and Russell are among the high brass, But Bill, five-star general, is top of the class. Phil and Bobby, jet aces, have a fine reputation For shooting down MIGs they ' re the pride of the nation! Sara ' s a WAAF. .(ah, those Eglin Field guys!) Randolph engineers those fast planes that she flies. Leland and Joe are both four-stripers. (They ' ve aimed at the Navy since they were in diapers. ) And now back to Tarboro. . . Here ' s Joyce. What felicity! She ' s chosen a career of domesticity. Others also selected the role of wife, And are happy in leading a home-maker ' s life: Jean, Mattie, and Eleanor, Bejtsy, Geraldine, Carrie, Mary Helda. . . all happy! (Perhaps 1 should marry. ) George will soon make his million and retire, I expect: I see he ' s the town ' s leading architect. Carolina Tel. and Tel. ' s still going strong. With Pres. Pete there, and Peggy, it just can ' t go wrong. Mac is the chief engineer of the state. Annie Lee, in his office, keeps everything straight. Tarboro ' s busiest man. . . .(but he still keeps cool) . . . Bobby Lee ' s head of Water Plant, Milk Plant, and Pool. The two Jimmies went into business together; Bunn and Long, Merchandise . . . . quite prosperous, I gathe r ! Some of the gals have deserted our town, And in other cities they ' ve now settled down. Marian ' s far away on the West Coast, And Helen (a typist) is Newport News ' boast. Wilma ' s married in Charlotte, a secretary. And Jo Ann and Evelyn keep Rocky Mount merry. Hilda ' s a travelling salesgirl (by air) And Catherine has married a millionaire. P e ggy ' s Greenville ' s leading beautician, And Gay is still on an extended vacation. Hoyette and Boochie also planned long ago That they would be loafers, but whaddayaknow ! Both married men now, their broods are so numerous, They ' ve worked hard and made fortunes! I find that quite humorous. And, last but not least, on the outposts of China, There ' s Lewis , a missionary. . . what could be finer ? ' 52 was the finest of classes, I ' ll bet, And thanks to my magical TV set, Scattered tho ' they be to the winds, far and wide, I ' ve seen my old class, and I ' ve viewed them with pride. The Navy also can claim its fair share. Just look at these heroes who do and dare: Jaquelin Nash Class Prophetess
