WYCHE CLASS POEM Farewell, Mother Our “Mother” stands on the wind-swept beach Where once she stood before, But now we're setting out to sea, While then we came to shore. We're sailing into the rising sun, Sailing o’er the watery deep. We'll sail through a life of work and fun, And then we'll rest—and sleep. Our “Mother” gives a sad, sad cry And throws a farewell kiss, For we’re going off into the world And “Mother School” we’ll miss. For twelve long years she’s been our nurse, Our guide, our friend, our own, She’s helped us when we’ve stumbled, And by her help, we’ve grown. But now ’tis time for parting. It’s time to say “good-bye.” Our ship is now a-sailing, to Where the ocean meets the sky. But we'd like to say e’re leaving, ‘Thanks for all you’ve done.” We give you one last farewell kiss, And sail into the sun.

To many people the year 1943 did not hold too much significance, but to us, the members of the class of ’47, it was one of the most important ones of our lives. It was at this time that we began cur high school careers. Little did we know of high school life, but we learned quickly, and now, four years later, we are seniors. It seems that we have been going on a long journey; now we have reached our destination. In the fall of 1943 there were approximately forty of us “green” fresh- men. Under the leadership of Mrs. Chambers and Miss Neal we soon became accustomed to high school life and work. School days passed quickly and we were the traditional sophomores. The one outstanding event of the year was the Sopho- more-Senior Banquet. Time sped on, and we were at last jolly juniors. As always, the junior year was one of importance. We chose Annie Murph as our president. With the help of Miss Current, we sponsored a big Hallowe’en carnival and also sold magazines. Our class colors were blue and white. At last the long leoked for day came and we were seniors! For our president we chose Virginia Steele who has proven to be capable and efficient. Our class colors are blue and white, and our flower is the red rose. One of the highlights of the year was our trip to Chapel Hill to see Carolina and V. P. I. play a very close football game. We are grateful to Mr. Harrill for making this trip possible. We are proud of our years in Woodleaf School and of the many lessons we have learned. We know that our experience has been worth while. We wish to extend our appreciation to the teachers, friends, and fellow students who have made our high school days happy and profitable. Still, our journey is not complete. Although we feel we have achieved the pinnacle of success as we see it, we realize that these four years have only been an opening to the door of knowledge. Perhaps we are sad as we finish our high school days, but with the knowledge we have obtained in school, we can overcome all obstacles that come to us in life by applying our class motto, “To make every job a masterpiece.” FRANCIS GLOVER.

Looking from head to toe we find that the average height of the senior boys is 5 feet, 11 inches, and of the girls, 5 feet, 4 inches. Computing our weights we find a senior boy of average size would tip the scales at 181, while the average weight of the girls was found to be 121 pounds. Upon observation we see that half the class has brown eyes, while the other half has a mixture of grey, green and blue. Again upon observation we find that 79% of the class has brown hair, 10% blonde, 5% red, and 5% black. From toe to heel we find the average size shoe is a 7, with the boys sporting a size 9 and the girls a size 6%. Our statistics show that our class is composed of various religious denominations—the greatest percentage being Methodists and Baptists. Upon investigation we find that June Allison and Guy Madison are the Senior Class’s favorite movie stars with Clarke Gable and Betty Grable as runners-up. Members of the Senior Class must be having trouble with their love affairs as “Heartaches” was voted the favorite song. Looking into the political lives of the students, we find that the majority will be Democrats, although some will not even reveal their party affiliation. Although this Senior Class is one of the brightest ever to be graduated from Woodleaf High, we find that they must be a little on the lazy side since loafing was found to be the favorite pastime. How- ever, in retrospect, we realize that the days spent at Woodleaf High have been among the most happy days of our lives. AuicE Durant, Statistician.

PROPHECY Today, as I gaze into my crystal ball it takes me into a future that has proven to be very successful for the seniors of 1947. This, of course, is the anniversary of our graduation twenty years ago. Today is May 15, 1967. The scene is now becom- ing clearer and as I look deeply into the depths of my magic ball, I see many things that have happened since 1947, that dear old year of so long ago. Woodleaf has become America’s leading automatically controlled city, and is famous for its beautiful plastic sidewalks that automatically “roll up” when the clock at City Hall strikes 11:00. The celebrated inventor of the gadget that rolls up the sidewalks is Ed Nesbit, one of America’s leading electrical engineers. The scene now changes to a large factory on Woodleat’s 52nd Street. I see a distinguished man running to catch a plane bound for Hong Kong. It is none other than James E. Honbarrier, the first. He is the owner of the Woodleaf Robot Manu- facturing Company, Inc., and is the inventor of the very popular “dancing robot.” A large sign is looming before me. The words “Let Us Remodel You” are written on the sign. Now that the picture has become clear, I see a very familiar face before me. It is Virginia Steele, one of America’s foremost beauty authorities. She has just perfected a successful method to make dimples on one’s cheeks. I now see the faint outline of a newspaper. On the front page is a picture of America’s best known columnist, Frances Carlile. Her daily column, “Counsel to the Loveworn,” appears on the pages of every leading newspaper. The scene now changes to Washington. There is a very large crowd cheering the President of the United States, who is none other than Francis Glover. His slogan, “I promise you anything if you elect me, but just try and get it after I am sworn in,” won for him the election unanimously. Two nurses are conversing quietly in the hall of the Mayo Clinic. It is Super- intendent of Nurses Miss Nellie Clawson, and her assistant, Miss Lois Richardson, who have just discovered a cure for the “hiccoughs” that will actually work. The glittering lights of Broadway dazzle me. A famous play is appearing for the nineteenth time this week because of popular demand. It stars America’s most famous comedian, Graham Swicegood. The play entitled “They Danced With Their Shoes Off,” is said to be the most successful play in the history of Broadway. What is that peculiar noise? It is a newly perfected space ship which makes an average speed of one millicn miles per minute. At the controls of this “Moon Challenger” is its famous inventor, Miss Lois Morgan, who will conduct an expedi- tion to the moon. There are tobacco leaves as far as I can see. In the middle of the tobacco field is a famous American tobacco farmer. As the scene becomes clearer, I see that it is an old classmate, Bobby Tatum, inventor of a very popular cigar, known as “Wheel Horse’s Delight.” One of the most celebrated Americans of all times is Miss Alice Durant, whose brilliant knowledge helped her te find a way to make “Richard Open the Door.” (She threw a bottle of tear gas through Richard’s bedroom window.) The scene now passing before me shows a group of people standing on the outside of a famous clothing firm in New York City. They are carried away by the sight of a beautiful woman in the window of the store. She is Miss Kathryn Smith, a famous Powers Model. I see the well known name “Allendale” before me. It is the name given to a chain of restaurants that run throughout the United States. They are owned by a graduate from the class of ’47 of Woodleaf High. The lucky lady, of course, is Mrs. Nancy Thomason Allen. Before me now are beautiful palm trees, swaying gently in the breeze. Under the trees, I see a naval captain and his wife gazing out across the ocean, toward their beloved America. The lovely little wife is Dorothy Steele, who has made her home.in the Hawaiian Islands. The scene now shifts to a splendid old church in Woodleaf’s residential section. A lovely double wedding has just been performed. The beautiful brides are Peggy Lyerly and Kathleen Wood, two outstanding students of the class of ’47. I see a great concert pianist giving concerts all over Europe. She, too, is a member of the class of ’47 of Woodleaf High School. It is Margaret Pence, the composer of the famous symphony, “Heart Failure in B Sharp Minor.” It is said to be the masterpiece of all times, in American music. The scene once again changes to the wilds of South America. I see a tribe of uncivilized people staring at a beautiful young missionary, who has come to teach them the ways of the civilized world. Even though she is deeply tanned by the scorching sun, I can identify her as one of the members of the senior class of ’47. It is our courageous friend, Annie Murph. Before me now is a large ballroom in the Arthur Murray School of Dancing in New York. A dancing instructor is “tearing her hair and hitting her head against the wall” because her dancing students cannot learn their steps. As she turns to walk away, I see that it is Evelyn Meigs, the dancer who invented the step known as the “Broadway Sprawl.” Well, if the reports of my crystal ball of the years to come are correct, this | Senior Class of Woodleaf High shall never be forgotten.
