) ! ) t Editor-In-Chief Betty Joyner Business Manager Robert Lee Privette PUBLISHED BY THE SENIORS of t WAKELON HIGH SCHOOL | ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA mi J Although she has bean with us one year only, we have learned Co love and to have the deepest respect for her. Under her guidance we have accomplished much: the annual was made possible; the Dramatics Class under her sponsorship presented two very fine plays; the Beta Club,a new organization to her as well as Wakelon, has completed many projects. All this was extra; her regular duties were teaching four classes of English and a Dramatics class. In recognition of her work in the guidance of the students o f Wakelon High School, we, the class of ' 49, as a mark of our respect and thankfulness dedicate this, THE 1949 WAK-IGH-AN to MRS. A. T. GADDY. Mr. Fred A. Smith, Principal of Wakelon School He attended Elon College and attended summer sessions at Duke University, University of North Carolina, and Wake Forest. He was principal at Ros e Hill for three years and has taught at Perquimans County High School, Ahoskie High School, Littleton High School, and State College. In addition to his many duties as principal, he also led the Wakelon girls’ basketball team to many victories. We, the Senior Class, will remember his words of guidance that he gave us during the years that he was our leader.

Monteleon ' Poem We Face Ahead For many years we’ve worked and played, and struggled toward a far-off goal; Still through life ' s hardships we will wade Until its joys to us unfold. That long awaited day ' s arrived, and with up-lifted hearts we go, To reach the goal for which we ' ve strived Through hardships that delayed us so. And as we journey on life ' s way, We ' ll ne ' er forget the guiding hands That helped us on in every way. To mold our future as we planned. There ' ll always be within our hearts A treasured love for those we knew, For friends and classmates, though we part, and face ahead, a gallant crew. Martha Pearce Class Poet CtdU One bright and sunny morning in September of 1937, a starry- eyed group of young children, known as beginners, decided to venture to a new land. Little did we realize what life offered, so we needed the aid and encouragement of our advanced teachers and parents. Sometimes discouraged but nevertheless determined, we entered our scholastic life. We were taught the fundamentals of school and began to unfold many astounding mysteries such as reading and writing. Finally, after four long years of struggling, we were promoted to Grammar School. With a more advanced mind, we set out to support the things for which our sisters and brothers had worke d so hard. So far, most of us had overcome the hardships and discouragement—for which we were thankful. In the meantime two new subjects, history and geography, were added to our course of study. Realizing more and more the need for wisdom, we worked harder than ever before to make our class the best. We began to strive for a distinguished reputation. This goal was reached when Mrs. Bunn said we were the best behaved class she had ever instructed. She based this on the fact that she could go to Raleigh and leave us alone, trusting us to carry on our duties eagerly. We were not fortunate enough to have a graduation exercise when we graduated from the Elementary building, but we were proud to re¬ ceive our pins and certificates for good penmanship. After abundant worry for seven years, which seemed like centuries to us, we were promoted to Junior High. Although we were not considered part of the enhanced Senior High, such close acquaintance caused us to become accustomed to a lot of their methods. Then in the year of 1945, this group of youhg students attained the position we could say we were in high school. We regret that some of our band did not see the need to venture farther and dropped out along the way, leaving us to strive alone. We, realizing the need for organization, elected Fred Mangum as the president of our class that year. We entered the following school term as Sophmores. During this year, ten of our girls were greatly honored and thrilled because we were chosen to be waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. We eagerly started our third year in high school as Juniors. We had many thrills during that year. Our greatest was probably the purchasing of our class rings. We sponsored the Junior-Senior Banquet and presented a very good Junior Play. Another great event was the class night exercises in which we performed. We held anchors, decorated with roses while the seniors marched under them. It was during that year that seven of us had the grand opportunity of being marshalls. Alas ' . That long awaited title-Seniors-had been won. Senior year, the year destined to be the leading year of our class history now made us the leading characters in school, those for whom the remainder of the student body stands when we enter chapel. The number of senior enrolled in our class at the first of the year was thirty-four—this number including Stella Bunn from the present Junior Class. During this year, we have completed many tasks, one of them, the annual. Eleven of the members of our class have performed in two Dramatics plays. Some of us participated in the Senior play. Last but not least, most of us made a very enjoyable trip to Wash¬ ington, D. C. Now we must venture into the wild world. Some of us will go to college and take up deeper study, while the rest of us will start immediately with our careers. In fact, two of our girls, Louise Sherron and Martha Pearce have already begun their careers as house¬ wives. But as we go into this life, we will always remember the enjoy¬ able years we have spent at Wakelon. We will always feel much gratitude toward our teachers and parents, who helped us, and we will show our appreciation by living a worthy life that will make them proud of us. Elsie Tippett Class Historian WELL, GUESS THAT A80ur us our r °W (( an Ce$famenf We the Glass of ' 49 some slightly erratic, but the majority sound in mind, on this 27th day of May, in the year of 1949 do de¬ clare this writing to be our last will and testament, hereby revok¬ ing and making void all other testimonial writings heretofore made by us. Do hereby will and bequeath, all property, real and personal, of which we the testators are at this time possessed, to be bestowed as follows: Article I: To our school we leave our everlasting loyalty.

Johnny Gay leaves his talent at taking tail-spins to Yvonne Arnold. Deloras Pittman ' s square dancing ability to Blonnie Jones. Martha Pearce ' s ability to get a fellow and keep him to Betty Jo Pearce. Betty Joyner ' s ' 49 Ford to Sue Long. She probably will need it for Rat ' s convertible is looking pretty weak.

Valter Bunn’s quiet ways to Barbara Oakley. Class Tester Bothy Phillips Down through the ages men have attempted to pierce the veil that separate today from tomorrow. When thunder frightened the hairy cave man into his tree he wondered what the morrow would bring. And Kublis Khan in ancient Cathay dreamed of the future. As the pyramids rose half finished in the sands of Egypt, wise men in ivory towers studied the movements of the stars to cross the centuries and to foretell the Pharroah ' s future. Alexandra, Caesar, and Napoleon paused in their marches of conquest and pondered the future of their legions, and the soldiers sat and thought, and wondered of tomorrow and the guns of the enemy. The centuries have passed and the armies of the conquerors have gone away and the futures that Napoleon, Alexandra, and the builders of the Pyramids tried vainly to see have become the past. But in the minds of a few there has blazed the power to trans¬ cend the years and rip apart the curtain of the future. Nostradamous sat remote from the world, and solved the riddles of the years. Un¬ known sages have written obscure annals of the thieves that were yet to be. These chosen few-—men who dream things that others will do- have heard the crash of falling nations and the clamor of new ones rising in their ruins. They see the glory of daye and things yet to come. They are the soothsayer, the men of strange wisdom—the con¬ querors of the future. And now from the sublime to the ridiculous, which is the fool ' s road to paradise, we might find a certain local yokel reading his daily, twenty years hence. He might read such items as: Laura James Sexton is presented in concert tonight at the Metropolitian. Her uncle, Paderwiski, is sponsoring her. Becky Clark and Bobby Phillips have returned from their Europeon tour, singing before the crowned heads of Europe. Ralph Choo-Choo Lewis is working on the B. 0. Railroad. Still carrying the ball. Dr. William Parks Brantley is now an officail, working on a method of termite exterminator by atomic combustion, derived from the spontaneous fusion of gamothyts and the new bacterial growth commonly know as Brantley ' s phonographmeedlemonothaxyzilol, or publically called Brantley ' s Bug Tonic. Walter Bunn and Lawrence Blackley of Bunn Blackley ' s Inc. have just caused a mass migration from Johnston County, due to the growth of an enormous tobacco plant which has completly covered the countryside, because of an ounce of Maylon Baker ' s New Round Deal Fertilizer. Maylon is now being sued by the Square Deal Fertilizer Co. Fred Mangum ' s son. Mangled Jr., is enrolled in Wakelon University, majoring in fertilizer and football, following in his father ' s footsteps. Stella Bunn is now head professor and Doctor of Philosophy at Meatball Tech in Hamburg, Germany. Bernard ' s Warehouse of Wendell has just announced the election of Jo Ann Williams as Miss Tobacco Leaf of 1969. Linda Massey is currently starring the J. C. Liles ' newest movie production, Shore Bound Sailor. Since Linda ' s smash hit, Here Comes Charlie , she has been on the road to fame. Betsy Driver is playing center forward for the Antone Amblers-she is known to be the most forward girl in the league. Bobby Bridgers has been promoted to a Buck Private Patrol¬ man for having run over the governor (a Republican) while chasing a good looking red head. Fuller ' s Transfer Corporation has just had a big jump in stock value when Avon Fuller, owner, manager, president, first vice president, secretary, and janitor bought eleven million dollars and 73 cents of common stock—very common stock. Johnny Fred Smith Gay has just become principal of Lizard Lick High School by qualifying for the position by being able to drink more Lizard Licquor than anyone else. Margaret Pace has been appointed to the position of sec¬ retary to the secretary to the secretary of the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce. Durant Finch, noted Hell Driver of Wake and Johnston Counties, has been awarded a certificate for greatest safety mea¬ sures while driving—which are: never drive while sober, always drive on the wrong side of the road, and never obey traffic laws. Robert Blackley, famed Chef of the French Cusine, has released a new receipe for frying hog chitlings with whipped cream and watermelon juice. Annie Braswell, founder and supporter of the School of Clear and Distinct Speech, known as Braswell ' s Training School, has just written a book on Tongue Twisters. Robert Lee Privette is manager of the Chicago Giants, which is a secondary division of the Zebulon Dwarfs. The Zebulon Dwarfs motto is: Little or Nothing. Deloras Pittman has recently been elected to position of Wake County Sheriff due to the fact that she saved Antone ' s De¬ partment Store, The Shopping Center of the Carolina ' s, from complete destruction by the Pool Room Thugs. Betty Joyner has just returned from Ten Pan Alley where her latest song hit, Zippers and Ribbon , a new version of Buttons and Bows , has just been published. Doris Johnson is still searching for one of her patrons, Martha Pearce, who was lost in a hair dryer while Doris was administering one of her famous Johnson ' s Wax Waves. Martha won the permanent by answering the question, Who wrote Brham ' s Lullaby? Doris Lockleair is an old maid because she told her his¬ tory teacher that G. W. stood for George Washington; A. L. for Abraham Lincoln; J. K. P. for James K. Polk;! H. S. T. for Harry S. Truman; and F. D. R. for Rural Free Delivery. Lady Talton was asked to speak at the joint session of the 102 Congress. She didn ' t know whether to sit and be thought a fool or to stand and remove all doubts. Elsie Tippett is the chief housekeeper at the Governor ' s Mansion. She has quite a lot of work, because since the Demo¬ crats have gone out of office there is a lot of dust lying around. Stella Phillips has been appointed as secretary to the Secretary of the Navy, because she seems to be so interested in the Navy. General Thomas Price has just been successor to General MacArthur who is haading the occupational forces in the Soviet Russia which we captured ten years ago. Sue Richards is now residing at Dix Hill. In training? We wonder. Dan Privette is now head professor of Electricial Engineer- . ing at State College. Louise Sherron has just opened an exquisite dress shop in San Francisco. This gives Bobby time to do the cooking.
