ClAss histopy The gate was opened When we were seven; We ' re off and running. The first lap passed quickly, With rhythm bands and reading circles. The second lap— a little harder; But fun was a special birthday party. Third and fourth and fifth Passed quickly. The games, the plays, and the fractions We left them all behind. With the sixth, seventh, and eighth Came grown-up manners and More homework. Our trainers were different; However, each taught us well. The reins of discipline were Tightening slowly. The track— sometimes muddy. Sometimes fair— beckoned us to Bigger things and High School. Nine laps and two tracks Merging— Farm Life and Williamston. Physical training helped us to Endure the rigors of the final laps. A Valentine Dance climaxed The tenth. Disection of a frog made our journeying A little more interesting. Fantasy Under the Sea, A Valentine Queen, a Homecoming Queen, a Spotlight Queen, a Monogram Sweetheart- All helped draw the finish line A little closer. The Finish Line ! Class rings, a Skewarkee To be proud of. College Day made the final lap Seem worth the effort and Hard work. The Race is not yet Complete — it is only The first of many feats. Carol Harris 54

An6 A Roa 6 UnfolOeC) Time, that old Gypsy- man Who stayed for just one day, Tremulously turned through a dusty book And searched for your names with a labored look. And they? he spoke; That took the paths thus travelled by; Thus be the harvests they sowed Since 1 pointed them down that yellow road. Oh, ' 65 was a vintage year— ne ' er fear! Their stars and signs were kind; And like my friend, Rafferty the Poet, I ' ll sing their song, if you ' ve the time. Then his voice gave rise to a note from the skies And his eyes grew mystic and light; His hand gave pause; his shoulders rose And his words gave Truth to my sight: Round that Medicine Bend Doctors Velma Harrison and Sandy Barnhill went; Not far behind were their capable workers — Nurses Elizabeth Gurkin, Jo Ann Ward, Diane Holliday, Kay Holliday, Donna Thrower, Patsy Andrews, Cherry Arnold And Jane Dunn. Striding to catch up were Lab Technicians Jimmy Daniels, Judy Goddard, and dental assistant Gail Cartwright to D DS Richard Cooke. Medicine also claimed Jackie Manning, A physical therapist. And Nora Leigh Roberson, anesthesologist; Medical technologists Cheryl Critcher And Emily Ritter. The By-way of Business was a wider way; There with their coffee-breaks went Secretaries Ollie Richolson, Alma Freeman, Gayle Scott, Faye Overman, Sheila Jernigan, Cheryl Wynne, Nancy Crisp, Barbara Beacham And Judy Jones. Business tycoon, Joseph Parvin, Engineer Fred Hardison, And Joe Spruill, technologist. Followed with all due propriety. Teaching ' s dusty way Was travelled by Mathematicians J. D. Henderson, Sandra Barber, Annette Lanier, Sally Crockett, And Linda Gurkin: Librarians Donna Speller, Claudia House; English teachers Barbara Harris and Janie Nicholson; Business teacher Nan Curtis; Art Teachers Mary Summerlin, Brenda Melson And Priscella Rogers; Primary teacher Eleanor Wynne And choregrapher Mickie Griffin- All travelled that narrow way. Their Uncle Sam marched with some: Clarence Nicho lson, Edward Casper, With Admiral Travis Brown And Colonel Dolly Harrell. in A yellow Woo6 . . . The ' Straight and Narrow ' way Was DiAnna Cowan ' s, the Youth Worker; And Bobby Long, DD, Managed the Camp of Churches. The Farmers ' Furrow was pursued by Randy Hardison, Riley Roberson; Ably assisted by Billy Griffin and Roy Lindsey, State Agriculturists. Professional men walked that way with purpose— Highway patrolmen Jimmy Rogers, Tony Cowan, and Jimmy Mobley; Industrial artist Dewitt Hardison; Garageman and auto craftsman David Craft; Electrician Floyd Whitfield— Ranger David Tyre; Craneman Mitchell Hopkins; Game warden Roy Long and J. C. White, Architect. The Road of Home Economy Claimed Smanne Jones, Janet Bridgen, Beckie Griffin— Fashion Designers; The famous fashion journalists Jean Heath And Betsy Baker always got the latest; And Judy Gurganus followed The Path of Kindergartens: Betsy Barnhill— Interior design. A wide road was the ' Real Politico ' — Dusty Shipley, Allen Hartman, Bill Courtney, Haul Reddick and Judge Sammy Manning- All aspiring and successful politicans Walked that way. Carol Harris, Correspondent to Washington, Dogged their tracks for news. The Street of Cosmetology? Evelyn Reardon, Barbara Martin, Jill Edmondson, Frances Hudgins. The way for Scott White, Noah Bonds, Butch Wallace, Jimmy Rogers, Johnny Lilley, And Donald Mizelle— the Path of Positions. Down the Highway of Sports Bounded Larry Speller, The All-American basketball player. The glamorous Broadway of Drama Claimed Ottis Coltrain . . . Speeding down the Wedding Way: Janice Williams, Peggy Gurganus, Donna Wojohn, Penni White, And Sandra Biggs, It ' s quiet now — They ' ve all gone on to their different worlds And separate spheres. Time ' s still here — He always is— and so am I— Spirit of Williamston High. Carol Harris 56
