CLASS PROPHECY Jean Yancey has been very successful in Hollywood since Jane Russell retired. Since Roy Rogers left Hollywood for home, a couple of Waynesboro dudes have come into the picture. Form¬ erly known as Bobby Sayre and Jimmy Mayes, they are now known as the Rogers Brothers. Donald Thomas and Jimmy Hagwood are working hard on their new motion picture, “Mutt and Jeff.” Along the lines of engagements, matrimony and alimony , we hear that Martha Ann Swezey finally gave Eddie Myrtle the kiss he has been trying to get for the last ten years. Joanne Pence, now married, has sixpence. Martha Jones, who used to be a very capable manager of the basketball team, now manages Jerry Ryman. Doris Cowan Myrtle (Mike Myrtle, that is) is supply¬ ing W. H. S. with little Myrtles. Louise Diggs, Nancy Fitch, Shirley Lester, Ann Pannell and Betty Roadcap are now married (remember when we saw their diamonds glitter?) and are raising more students of W. H. S. Lotts of things have happened to Judy Kerby. If you hear music in the air, you can bet that it is Ann Speck practicing. She just made her debut at Carnegie Hall. The critics heaped praises upon the talented pianist. Doris Swartz is the music teacher FMS. Not long ago she announced her engagement to Eddie. Georgia Butler has been very successful with her “School of the Dance.” On the sporting scene we find that Don Austin has turned to professional basketball after making the all- star team five times at the University of Virginia. Roger Burnett has opened up a second-hand sporting goods store. He sells the athletic supplies that are missing from W. H. S. Coach Carl Jones is his main customer. Connie Kurtz is teaching the fundamentals of football to Janet Matheny’s kindergarten. And, speaking of sports, Guy Balsley and Hugh Batten have become bat boys for the Chicago Cubs. Eugene Simmons pitched his seventeenth straight vic¬ tory for the Washington Senators. Instead of “Gorgeous George,” it’s “Charming Char¬ ley” Stuples, the wrestler. Ann McCracken is on the National Rules Committee for Women’s Basketball. Jo Anne Sweet just won the World Championship in tennis at the Wimbledon Courts in England. Here are some of the items that have happened on the local scene: Phyllis Jones, Betty Wetzel and Jessie Brown have opened the third roller rink in Waynesboro, with the motto, “You fall, we haul.” Stanley Baker now argues with Mr. Brondoli about how much his store sells. Eugene King is still in 204, discussing history with Mr. Brondoli. Ronald Stokes is head end man in the Kiwanis Minstrel annually. Calvin Campbell has been promoted to manager of the meat department of A. P. Floyd Crouch is following in the footsteps of his father. He is pastor of a large congregation and leads the chapel services for W. H. S. Anna Mae McCourry is now a missionary for the Christian Church. Malcolm Wade is the principal of W. H. S.; we wonder if he allows holding hands in the halls. New positions on the faculty of this great educational institution are Jean Cook, teaching Home Ec.; Charlotte Hicks, teaching geometry; Betty Sayre, commercial teacher, and Frank Allen, teaching senior math. Now we have some news of the various clubs in Waynes¬ boro: Gene Dunn and Edward Bunch, founders of the Hot Rod Club, have just elected Charles McLear president. (We wonder why?) Robert Suddarth has just joined the Little Men’s Club. Raymond Moran is the president. And that is the top of the news from here. Be sure to stay tuned to this station to hear the top-flight comedian who took hose-nose Hope’s place. The one and only big-mouthed Leland Baker. This program came to you through the courtesy of William J. DeLong, Dean of the University of Virginia and world-famous educator. 4 24

CLASS OFFICERS Mary Bess Phillips. Landon Antrobus. Dottie Withers. . President ... .Vice President Secretary- T reasurer Class History Two years ago this fall the Class of ’51 entered W. H. S. as freshmen. We joined many of the school’s clubs and participated in school athletics. We elected Charlie Freed, President; Emory Brown, Vice President, and Joan Hyman, Secretary-Treasurer. At the end of the year we had a class picnic at Shenandoah Acres. When we returned a year later we had lost all, or most of our greenness. We joined the rest of the school clubs and turned out several good athletes. Our 9 class officers were: Joan Hyman, President; Charlie Freed, Vice President, and Janet Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer. This fall we returned with a different feeling in our hearts. This year we are upperclassmen. We selected our rings and sponsored a variety show, and had a pie and cake sale to help pay for the Junior-Senior Prom, which we gave for the seniors in the spring. We have remained active in the school’s clubs and athletics. Our class officers are: Mary Bess Phillips, President; Landon Antrobus, Vice President, and Dottie Withers, Secretary-Treasurer. 26
