LM.. Man alive, it certainly is nice to be resting comfort- ably on this soft bed after simply running wild at the newspaper office today. I really am tired. Being Sports Editor of a daily newspaper QTlae TlJ071ld.f1f'ill8 Tribune is now a dailyj keeps a man busy these days, especially covering all the activities at Thomasville High. But wait a moment, just now have I noticed the calendar which reads: May 51, 1961. Surely, I re- member that date. It was exactly ten years ago tonight that I, along with the Senior Class of 1951, walked across the stage of Thomasville High School for the final graduation exercises. Guess that has been such a long time that there is little use thinking about it, so I'd better get some sleep. fThere was no sound sleeping that night, for these things kept running through my mindjz Tommy Beard, my best high school chum who never let me down, is now the owner of a huge tex- tile mill in Hogeye Thomasville. He's doing fine. Married, too. Paul Berrier couldn't forget Fords. That's why he's foreman of a large department in Ford works at De- troit, Michigan. The former Miss Josie Grimes is right there too as well as the two children. Al Boyles, legs and all, Allen Walter May, and Jimmy Yokely, have been members of a nationally known jazz band for three years. They were in town not long ago, stopping off here while on tour through the country. Mrs. Jimmy Yokely QMartha Kanoyj came along with Jim. But Mrs. Boyles stayed in Holly- wood with the children. Pat Shuford, Daney Melton, Talitha Ayers, and Tex Sluder had excellent college scholastic records and all four have gone into high ranking positions. Tex is the only member of the foursome who remained in Thomasville. Now, we find Ralph Curtis owner of a large print- ing establishment in Mebane, N. C., set up on the proposed site of Mills Home Baptist Orphanage, be- fore officials decided to move it to Thomasville. Sammy Pluto Jarrell is publisher of the bi-weekly newspaper, known as The Enquirer. Although Bobby Johnson attended the University of North Carolina for two years, he left school to accept a professional baseball contract with the Atlanta Crackers, Atlanta, Georgia. Graduating from Campbell Junior College, Bill Connell finds time away from his hosiery mill, located on Gray Street, to play a little sand lot baseball. Bill's married the did that at collegej, and two boys call him daddy. CLASS PRGPHECY Vannie Downey and Bertha Poole did quite well for themselves in the romance department. Vannie spoke vows three years ago with a lawyer and Bertha is the wife of a prominent New York stockholder. She resides in New York City. But, Mary Cauble is still as shy as always and chooses to be an old maid. Montana attracted Betty Ann Wright so much that she and husband, Don Holland, are happily settled in Butte. Important figures in a local five and ten cent store here are Joyce Picklesimer and Betty Cassidy. We have a clue on Anne Murphy, you remember the jack of all trades during her high school days. Anne graduated from Catawba College in '55 and is now the wife of a handsome guy she met in college. She has three little girls, all with yep--red hair. Doug Callicut and Dave Wardlaw now operate their own drug concern here in town. Doug is the chief pharmacist, but Dave still likes, despite his position, to jerk sodas. I-Ie does a little upholstering as an avocation. Can you imagine! Doug Hartsell proprietor of a skating rink in High Point, Bogie McLendon the best painter in town, Blair Little pastor of Mills Home Baptist Churchgilidna Elgin a stewardess for Capitol Airlinesg Bobby Wilson still in the metal business Cpiping and gutteringjg Walter Saunders QW. K.J a physician in Dentong and Carol McMahon owner and operator of the Pioneer Restaurant? Majoring in English at Harvard University, Jerry Black is now working with the Federal Government as professor in an atomic research plant at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Radio and television are sideline hobbies. Dewey Wfelborne settled down in Thomasville after high school graduation, married Thelma Tony, from Mills Home, and has a boy and a girl. After graduating from UNC, Guy Melton and Don Moore, two outstanding high school gridders, took up coaching as their profession. Don is head mentor at Monroe High School, while Guy pilots a team in West Virginia. Professor of Sociology at Woman's College, Greens- boro, is Mildred Wilson. Carolyn Kennedy is a secretary in Winston-Salem and her high school chum, Joyce Hill, is now Mrs. Richard Floyd. - Troy Segers and Edward Richardson didn't get enough of motor bike riding in their high school days, so they formed a partnership and went into the motorcycle business in Wilmington, N. C. Reports in- dicate that Donald Wall is with them.
