lean Richardson sent us a card from Mars. She said that she was building snowmen. Shirley Faulkner and Billy Hugh Bunn are on television every night. He is the Lemon Drop Kid and she's the Lemon Drop Sucker. Do you remember how Artelia Bailey always wanted to be a nurse? Well, she is now, for one of Zebulon's chief horse doctors, Bobby Perry. Wonder if they like their patients? Robert had to wait for Betty Lou to finish school: now she has to wait for him to get out of the Marines. Because Emestine Corbett could paint freckles so nice, she has taken over as Howdy-Doody on television. Melba Baker has opened a beauty shop in Hopkins'. She claims it costs too much to have S.G. 's hair fixed every week. Geraldine Hood is working at Westem Union. She got so many telegrams that she decided to save the boss a trip. Virginia Pearce is now secretary to one of Bunn's largest dairies. She makes the cows contented. Joyce Young has found a new way to sleep so that her dreams will be in technicolor. Ronald Fowler has just invented a new bicycle. Maybe now he can keep up with all of his girl friends. After several years, George Crowder has finally proved to the staff of the State Hospital that he isn't a patient and was only applying for a job. Henry Kitchings has moved to Rolesville, and has gone out for the professional football team at Rolesville College. We found, however, that one Senior is doing exactly as she said she was going to all through high school. She and Cooper have both resigned to raising lots of little Mosses. As for me l have been doing pretty well since I began installing parking meters out at Russell's. That's about all for now, I guess, Mrs. Privette. We did have some of the best times anyone could possible have in school. We'll never forget those times: nor will we ever forget you. Sincerely yours, Rose Holland Class Prophet

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. She was so quiet that he hired her to watch the rat holes. Linda Bridgers has joined Jack lCochman's Hell Drivers. Do you remember how she used to drive the Buick around like a streak of greased lightning? Anne Allman has a radio program in Zebulon. It is How to Eat and Be Slim. 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.

Lgdfllbfl My am Our school days now are closing, We feel regret within our heart, For from our friends and our dear school, We know that we must part. In our school life here together We learned to work and play, Within the walls of Wakelon We passed many a happy day. Our teachers have influenced us Much more than words can tell- With kindly smiles, our work inspired So, thanking them, we say farewell. North, South, East, or West- Our paths lead to distant places: We put our faith in the Father above Whose Hand all care erases. We'd like to think that when we've gone The classes that follow after Will fill the halls and campus With gaiety, love, and laughter. And now we must say goodby, Yet our love may never sever, To you, our friends, our school, We leave our hearts forever. --Linda Bridgers
