We realize that the school will have a great loss without us and our valuable posses- sions. The underclassmen, especially the Juniors, would be handicapped if we took all our valuable assets. ARTICLE I To our sponsor, Mrs. Godfrey, to whom we are very much indebted for her leadership and guidance, we leave our wishes that she may have a class just as she wants it to b.e. ARTICLE II To our teachers, who are our friends and helpers, we leave our wishes that the incoming - students will be more willing to abide by the rules and regulations. ARTICLE III To individuals we bequeath the following: Anne Fields leaves nothing to nobody because she needs to take it with her. Billy Dixon leaves his position as King to Jimmy Smith. Brenda Dail leaves her loudness to Vivian Beamon. Ray Norville leaves his knowledge to Morris Lee Brann. Carole Jones leaves her love of mathe- matics to Jennie Bailey. Wyatt Taylor leaves his blonde hair to Kenneth Craft. Anne Wooten leaves her quietness to Pat Harrell. A. L. Coggins leaves his ability to learn French to Roy Jones if Mrs. Godfrey is not teaching. Tiny Lee Harrell leaves her ability to become Queen to Hilda Padget. Charles Holloman leaves his sympathy to Becky Winstead. Bonnie Burch leaves half of what she has got and her old boyfriend to Frances Lang. Ann Jones leaves her great like- ness of home ec to Nancy Adams. Allen Heath leaves his red hair to Harry Moore if he wants it. Marilu Hardison leaves her cheerleading ability to Marilene Mewborn. Dan Shackleford leaves his school bus to Frances Lang. Linda Mayo leaves her talkative ways to Alice Wain- wright. James Parker leaves his ability to worry Mrs.- Godfrey to Jerry Smith. Christine Brady leaves her ability to catch a man to Lois Johnson. Donnie Holloman leaves his ability to grow sideburns to Thomas Vick. Dot Johnson leaves her crazy actions to Earlene Lang. Robert Hill leaves his basketball to Ralph Heath. Bobby Bowden leaves gladly. Lou Mooring leaves her sweet disposition to Neat Jones. Colburn Owens leaves his love of English grammar to Bobby Galloway. Janie Langston leaves her artistic ability to Christine Ormond. Jimmy Gay leaves his wit to Stephen Craft. Jimmy Holloman leaves none of his hair because he needs it all. Amy Williams her saying, Ain’t it so, to Julia Cox. In witness whereof, we the Senior Class of 1958, do set seal on this, the twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-eight. A. L. COGGING Testator Best AH- Bound ANNE JONES A. L. COGGINS Sweetest Most Athletic Cutest CAROL JONES ALLEN HEATH ANNE FIELDS RAY NORVILLE Most Cikelij to Succeed BRENDA DAIL DAN SHACKELFORD ’Hallowe ' en , Hollow LOU MOORING BOBBY BOWDEN Prophecy As I sit here gazing into space, my visions of the future seem to become more vivid. Gazing down the streets of a larger, more active Walstonburg, I see the people who have made this an active community. Among these are my classmates of 58. On the outskirts of the town is a large modern hospital. Inside at the switchboard, Carole Jones is taking an emergency call. After receiving the call, Billy Dixion, head doctor, prepares for the case; with him is Brenda Dail, head nurse. Having just brought the emergency case in, Dan Shackelford is leaving the hospital in his big, shiny Cadillac ambulance. Up in the laboratory Wyatt Taylor, scientist, is working on an experiment dealing with a new drug. Near the middle of town is a large modern office building. As I go inside, the first per- son I see is Marilu Hardison, receptionist. She tells me that Ann Jones is working here also; she has an office of her own, (of all things, she ' s an accountant!) and that Lou Mooring is pri- vate secretary to a very important businessman. And it seems that the businessman is Jimmy Gay, who has built up a fine business dealing with agriculture. From here I see a large, magnificent church. Inside is a group of people discussing re- ligion. Leading the discussion is Bonnie Burch, who has a degree in religion. On Main Street there is a very outstanding radio and TV repair shop. Reading the sign over the shop, I see that A. L. Coggins has finally settled down and opened a business of his own. Across from Coggins’s repair shop is a very stylish store. One part is a very chic beauty salon, owned by Janie Langston. The other, a barber shop owned and operated by James Parker. As I come up to the school, I decide to go in to see how it has changed in the past years. As I pass the gym, I hear noises so I decide to go in. Inside, Robert Hill is working out with his group of All-Americans. I saw in the paper this morning that Anne Fields, who is an F. B. I. agent is working on a very important case. I understand she is investigating Jimmy Gay ' s secret activities. Walking down the street, I meet a group of service men. Why there are some from my senior class! Yes, there are Colburn Ownes, Allen Heath, Jimmy Holloman and Bobby Bowden who have made the Army their careers. As I turn the corner, the Navy recruiting office appears. I see three officers recruiting new men to the Navy. Among the officers are Charles Holloman, Ray Norville and Donnie Hol- loman. Just think! These three have certainly succeeded in the Navy. As I come to a new housing development, I see two smart looking homes. Out in the yard with their children are Dot Johnson and Linda Mayo, whose husbands are working while they stay home looking after the children. Visiting them is Tiny Lee Harrell who is also married and has children of her own. These visions, though lovely while they last, are suddenly interrupted by the teacher ' s voice. I realize that we must pass English grammar before any of these dreams come true.
