It seems like only yesterday that the Seniors of '52 were winning every contest and everyone wished that we would hurry and graduate so they could win something! I saw Betty Frances Edwards a few weeks ago. She's a stewardess on the Corinth-Holder Airlines, lnc. I was informed by her that nearly all of the Seniors were doing opposite from what they thought they would. Rena Moody is now manager of McClellan's Chain Stores. She graduated from Hunter's Five and Ten in Zebulon. A new hair-growing tonic has been developed by Bet Phillips. She probably got the formula from Phillips' Barber Shop. Patsy Brantley finally got to Hollywood. Ihear she's playing Frankinstein's wife. She got her start as a maid in the Senior play. Charles Brooks Finch has a new job with Santa Claus. l-le uses his nose as a fog horn. One of the Seniors, Inez Pearce, is a member of the Rolesville College faculty. She teaches How to Make Your Toni Last. Pattie Pearce is still determined to get married. She said Miss Palmer didn't teach her to fry eggs for nothing. Ben Allen Rhodes has been nominated as the only person whose voice can be heard on the moon. Doris Duke doesn't have too much time for studying now because she has to plan for hers and Roy's future. Bobby McGee has recently opened a lawn mower shop. He specializes in G. I. haircuts. We hear that Bobby Gill now has a private paper route. Rumor has it that Lawrence Liles plans to take over as Hopalong Cassidy whenever he can borrow a mule. Rose Pace is asking all her male friends, Are you fer it?

Jeanne Robertson has recently edveloped a new hair rinse. Now she can dye her hair some other color besides red. We hear that Ned Moss blushed so hard when he entered college that the professor asked him what race he belonged to. Norma Faye Bridges is still trying to decide if she wants to teach the third grade. Elton Chamblee was voted recently as the most handsome man east of the Rockies! Wayne Massey developed a mechanic brain. Now he can use this to keep his dates straight. Carlton Blackley has invented a new rocket. It is especially good for getting out of Mr. Whitten- ton's way. Bobby Murray has achieved the distinction of being the only person who has ever graduated from Wakelon High School knowing less when he graduated than when he started. Barbara Denton and Donald Fowler are now coaching basketball at Lizard Lick College. We understand Frances Bunn recently bought Lake Mirl so that she could have her own private swimming pool. As short as she was I never thoughtl would see Gloria Pearce going to college on tom-walkers. Margaret Oakley, after so much hearty eating and stenuous exercise. is still yelling. Give me strength! Our new editor of the Zebulon Record is Willa Bolton. She used to edit the school paper, Bu1l- dog Barks. Mr. Whittenton has hired Ruth Edwards.

Kathryn Baker is at home out in Texas. We hear she's grumbling because everytime she tries to dig a well she strikes oil! Eva Pulley makes clocks. We hope she learns what time school takes in.. After ten years Ellen Ellington is still snooping around with her head in a garbage pail.
