You did not light its glow. 'Twos given you by other hands, you know. 'T is yours to keep it burning bright, Yours to pass on when you no more need light For there are other feet that we must guide, And other forms go marching by our side; Their eyes are watching every smile and tear; And efforts which we think are not worthwhile Are sometimes just the very helps they need, Actions to which their souls would give most heed; So that in turn they'll hold it high And say, "I watched someone else carry it this way If brighter paths should beckon you to choose, Would your small gain compare with all you'd lose' emortam MRS. MARY HEUTESS All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time: Some with massive deeds and great, Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show V Strengthens and supports the rest.

It was grand seeing some of the Senior Class of '57. As I am driving home from our 10 year class reunion, I think of them all and unconsciously turn on my car TV. The Robert (Bob) McFayden show is on the air, and he is singing his latest hit, "September Blues." His guest tonight is that famous dance team, Eugene Mclntyre and Marion Ingram. The last minutes of his show slip by, and he says his guest next week will be Betty Ann Treece, who has taken Minnie Pearle's place in the entertainment world. The eleveno'clock news flashes, and Leon Terry is the news commentator. He is noted for the "reel" story. He announces that the latest invention of Charles Mclnnis is the "Keep Awake Plan. " Students listen to his records to keep awake in class. My mind wanders from the TV program as I think of each grand classmate. Bobbie Darnell and Jeannette DeWitt are nurses for the Red Cross, now stationed in Germany. Sylvia Mabe is head of the Mabe Dairies, her associates being Betty Lou, Glenn, and Nancy LeeMabe. 1 Their slogan is "Try our products. They 'mabe good." Anne Wilson, EvaMae Pankey, and Jacqueline Williams are happy housewives. Sara Warner and Jeannette Wilson have opened a beauty shop in Norman. Larry McKay is a contractor. He is going to build Ellerbe's first five-story building. Helen Nelson is happy working in an orphanage. The children all call her "Mom." John Billy Raines has a successful tree farm. PerryMills, who is a forest ward- en, talked him into it. Irma Deaton is a high soprano for the Metropolitan Opera. Two people passed out from the vibrations the last time she sang. Wesley Anderson really slays them. He is now a wrestler. Jimmy Brigman has bought a cricket ranch in South Carolina. Everyone calls him Jimmy Cricket. Philip Hogan, a famous doctor, likes his job at the Mayo Clinic. Lester Haywood is noted for his "black dough." He owns a share in an oil field in Texas. Betty McFayden's latest book is "The Horn Blows at Dawn." Writing was always her joy. Paul Wilson, a mechanic, works for Eastern Airlines. Barbara Robbins is at Flora McDonald teaching math. Royle Wright is judge for Richmond County. He always makes the right decision. Willard Robson is Ellerbe's new patrolman. They call him "Red" because he never lets anyone run a red light. Larry Fulp makes a fine coach at the University of North Carolina. JaneCardwell is now teaching Home Economics at Ellerbe. Herstudents call her "Hardwell. " Tom Carter just wasn't satisfied until he became one of our Senators. Carolyn Chappell and Gail Grant are at the top as famous mountain climbers. They have just returned from the Alps. Ella Mae Hancock decided to make history as a stewardess for TWA. Jerry Cloninger is hitting hard for the Yankees. It was his home run that won the Series. James Mclnnis is now author of that famous comic strip "Dennis the Menace. " Jerry Vuncannon is working at the State College Experimental Station. John Williams is success- ful in New York as a lawyer. Benny Thompson is connected with A & P stores. Dave and Wayne Smith have formed the SBI, the Smith Bureau of Investigation with Jo Ann Rumley as their girl "Friday" secretary. Allen Culler is a dentist in Hollywood, California. Mr. Williams, our old English teacher, is studying the rock and roll language so he can under- stand his students. He says it's harder than English or Spanish. As for me, I am director of nursing at High Point Memorial. I hope my students under- stand me when I say there's no time like the present to make the future great.
