Like father. . .like son. . .Blair Scronce following in his father's footsteps has taken over the lumber business. Janice Logan, well, she is a professional cheerleader for the Blue Devils at Duke University. Clyde Reep is still in the Vale Community with his wife and family. They own a beautiful home. Bud Morgan, still happily married, tells me he owns a big furniture plant in Char- lotte. We go farther on down the line and find Joyce Ledford, a model in California, Someone tells me that James Deyton is a professor at North Carolina State. Peggy Gales, who always loved to rake dictation, is now secretary to the president of the United States, who is very young and handsome. Going on, we find Larry Sain, who is a pilot of Pan American Air Lines. Larry likes it up high. Looking at the beautiful homes in the community I find most of them have been built by Harvey Thomas. Asking someone who owned the big modern garage down the road, I find it belong to Ted Hartsoe. The last scene of the Class Prophecy is prophet, Kathy Thomas. She is a stenog' rapher for a big business in Texas. Class Prophet: Kathy Thomas THE SENIOR In ourselves our future lies This is his motto true, He never gives up, but always tries Until his work is through. In ourselves our future lies' Truer words were never spoken, And as his High School day dies He takes this motto as his token. Class Poet Margaret Deyton

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Alfred Lord Tennyson in Locksley Hall says: . .I dipt into the future far as the human eye could seeg saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that could be. . . ' I, Kathy Thomas, have also dipped into the future, but not so willingly. This task was thrust upon me, and as class prophet it will be my duty to reveal not only the sunny days but also the dark ones. The Senior Class of '59 are having a class reunion ten years later. They all are re- vealing what they are doing or have been doing. First of all, I talked to our class president of '59, Max Beam,- who is now Republic Congressman of North Carolina. Carl Wilson, who was always a safe-driver, is now driving a Greyhound all over the beautiful country. Wonder if he is hitched to that red-head yet? I hear that Nellie Elmore is now Co-Editor of the New York Times. Wonder why she isn't married yet? After a couple years of nursing training at Gastonia, Kay Smith is now head nurse at Memorial Hospital in Charlotte. She opens her heart to all her patients and is loved by all. Harold Scronce now pastor at Reepsville Baptist Church is telling of his chicken dinners. Now Mrs. Lee Boyd, Ruth Hoover is living happily with her family. She is also part time worker in a department store. Jane and Julia I-leavner are now commercial teachers at Lenoir Rhyne. They al- ways did like commercial subjects. I hear Robert Whitener has won many trophies in Stock Car Racing at Darlington. Keep the good work up. Paul Carpenter, who drifted westward, possesses extensive ranch holdings. He also has a large family that has helped him become a very successful farmer, Now a teacher, Linda Duckworth, has truly become a lamp unto the feet and light unto the path of the little ones. . Richard Armstrong tells me he has been in the U.S. Marines for six years and hopes to fulfill fourteen more. Asking someone who built the beautiful new brick house just outside of Lincolnton, I find it belongs to Mrs. Shirley Conner Dellinger. She and Gene are happily married. Roger Warlick still happily married, owns the Esso Service Station beside of City Hall in Lincolnton. A housewife before graduating, Janice Pendleton is still a full-time housewife after ten long years. Q Farther on I drift around and whorn do I see but Clarice Smith. She tells me she is a beautician at Shelby Beauty School. Ralph Warlick, a well-known sports fan, is with the New York Yankees. Wonder- ful work. Linda Sue Scronce, who was unlucky in love, found she could strive better by her- self on her sixty-acre farm. Now a very big business man in ten years, Tommy Snyder is president of Snyder's and Corporation in Raleigh. After a couple years of college, Margaret Deyton has finally become a missionary. She spends most of her time in India. Working for Dave Learner for a couple of years, Jerry Scronce and his wife, Louise, own a clothing store in Lincolnton. i4 . 1 1 1 1 J
