We ' ll ne ' er forget all our classmates so dear And all the memories of fun through the years. Always together where ' ere we may be, Dear Wakelon we ' ll ne ' er forget thee.

We ' ll think of the past and sing with a sigh; A million tomorrows shall all pass away ' Ere we forget all the joy that is ours today. It ' s dear old Wakelon, it ' s dear old Wakelon, We have the best school in the land. Come on Wakelonians, join in Wakelonians, We ' ll show the whole world where we stand.

c ass Propfiecy Now let us look into the stars to see what the future holds for the Class of ' 65! Goodness! Brenda Arnold now has her own dance studio. She hasn ' t been able to get Freddy in dance tights yet but she ' s working on it, Wayne Jenkins isn ' t working with computers as we all expected him to do. He now is one. He makes $1000 a month totaling SAT scores. Never underestimate the power of Avon Privette. He is now champion debator 1975. Jes se Ray has turned out to be a real loudmouth. He now blows into the speaker before Mr. Hawkins speaks. Jimmy Blackley is now timekeeper for the Piedmont dragstrip. Maybe someday he will get himself a car decent enough to race, Wallace Bunn now has his own service station and is also part time chauffeur for Shelton Bunn. Eugene Carter finally did it. He got mad enough to buy a new car, buy a ring and marry Joyce. Ronnie Chamblee is now devoting all his time to teaching his children to stand on their toes to reach the pencil trimmer. Sue Blackley is now head of the Perry household. We hear she ' s having quite a time keeping all those diapers clean. We find Debby Massey now has her own Majorette Corps consisting of little Drivers. Patsy Hales has finally learned how to sew. She is now seamstress for Gay ' s Highway Patrol. Looks like Madras patrol uniforms are now being used. We find that Dianne May ' s training in home economics has certainly paid off. She is now happily married and has 4 healthy youngsters. Tim Gay really did make his fortune off those stocks he bought from the telephone company. He is now co-owner of the Bell Telephone Company. As we all remember, Judy Brantley started her career as a housewife early. She has carried her career even further and now has two little baby girls. Orman Ellington has finally gotten on television as a comedian. There was never a dull moment at school as long as Orman was around. Say what ' s this? Buy your tickets for the baseball game tonight. Charles Pulley, formerly of Zebulon, N. C., is star player for the New York Mets. By the way they are still having losing seasons. Janet Griswold is now married to one of her ole flames. I hear she is a very efficient wife. Maybe her home economics did her some good after all. Jimmy Strickland and Dwight Pearce are two of the most successful farmers of our day. I ' ve heard they had to build larger barns this year because they are buying new machinery. What they learned in FFA must have been worth a lot. Listen, I hear music. It sounds like the voice of Peggy Maiden, who is now recording the nation ' s top tunes. Take a letter please. Miss Angela Hood. She is secretary to the President of a large bank in Greensboro. Say, who is thatsmiling nurse coming out of Room 211 in WattsHospital. Lynda Fathera, of course, I wonder if she ever found that intern she was always talking about. Donald Hocutt is the fellow to call when you need your sink unstopped. I understand he is a first-rate plumber. We see that Tim Holmes has followed in his mother ' s footsteps. He has now become the world ' s finest men ' s hairdresser. Rodney McNabb has finally succeeded in his career as a basketball player. He is now water boy for the Harlem Globe Trotters. Vincent Rountree now has his own TV show. The other day on the way to the studio he tripped and broke his leg. Same ole Vincent. Shannon Scott ' s piano training sure did come in handy. He is currently featured at the Mulon Rouge in Hollywood, California. Our quiet Judy Boykin attended college and decided to really make herself worth while. She was always good at basketball, but we never dreamed she would someday be coaching in a large city school. Patsy Braswell always has been good at sketching. She now has a job as a comic strip artist for one of the newspapers in Raleigh. Guess her good sense of humor paid off too. Goodness! What ' s this we see? Andrea Lee Eddins is now married and has ten little children. Oh well—we all told her didn ' t we? Nancy Perry is now secretary for her husband. She was always good in typing but no one ever guessed she would someday be a secretary and marry her boss. My, that new filling station that Bruce Richards is building is really swell! Some people wonder how he does so well, but I would like to know if his con¬ science hurts him when he sells quarts of gas for a gallon? The newspaper tellsthat oneof the top scientists otthedayis none otherthanHulon Perry. They say he is a wizard and can split an atom to the N-th de¬ gree . Ann Thomas won the most blue ribbons at the fair this year. She is a wonderful housekeeper. No wonder her husband is putting on weight. DianeFowler has just been elected Presidentof the N. C. Society of Cosmetologists. She specializes in permanent waves, facials, and getting rid of dou¬ ble skins. Ann Layfield has finished her training as a nurse. I ' ll bet men get sick just to have a chance to have her hold their hand. Ruth Strickland is now librarian in oneofthecity schools. She is very efficient and keeps every book straight, I wonder if she has as much trouble keep¬ ing it quiet as Mrs. Pippin had back in ' 65? Guy Massey is following in his fathers footsteps. He is now president of the world ' s largest bank, Massey Bank and Trust. We see that Jean Sutton has gotten rid of her little sports car. She married a millionaire and now drives a big Lincoln Continental. Thurston Debnam is doing quite well for himself in his recently inherited hardware store. He ' s not selling too much merchandise, but a lot of women come in to look. Same ole irresistable Thurston. Clyde Pearce now has a highly regarded occupation. H e is forest ranger in the Great Smoky Mountains. Tommy Pate is now manager of the Gill Buick-Pontiac Company. Now he can drive as many Pontiacs as he likes. Sandra Bissette ' s training in the Junior and Senior plays really paid off. She is now star in one of Broadways greatest hits. Linda Green ' s training in music has finally paid off. She can now sing her little Sidney ' s to sleep each night. Phyllis Laspina now has an exclusive article in the growing newspaper—The Zebulon Record. Carolyn Stallings has made history. She is the first person ever to receive a Doctor ' s degree from a secreterial school. April ' s issue of Vogue really disappeared from the newstand, but no wonder. Our own Ellen Ingram ' s face smiled prettily on the cover wearing a new Easter bonnet. She is really a lovely model. If any of you fellows and girls go sailing on the sea of matrimony, on your honeymoon, how about dropping in to see Phyllis Liles, I understand she has quite a fleet of yachts. Bobby Barbour is now the best X-Ray Technician at the Wendell-Zebulon Hospital. Randy Creech has finally become a doctor. He is now head surgeon at Finch Memorial Hospital. Connie Perry has returned to Wakelon High School. She is now the coach of the girls ' basketball team. I hear they have had 5 straight winning seasons. As for what the stars hold for us, it ' s very interesting, but as you see we are too busy with our classmates futures now.
