Today’s pictures, of Marie Hurlocker and Everett Ford are from John Thomas Williams Jr's Wallace Ivey collection. The first picture was used in the December 11, 1942 edition of The Full Moon newspaper at Albemarle High School. The story below was what was included in the paper about Marie.
“Here she is, folks! Right where she belongs.
For four years during her high school career, Marie has been a most dependable, likable, and talented student, and has well deserved the honor of being placed in the Who’s Who column of this issue of the Full Moon.
Marie is a newly-selected member of the National Honors Society, secretary and treasurer of her homeroom, and accompanist for the Boys Chorus and Mixed Chorus. She was also in the cast of “Little Women,” “Lelawala,” and “The Wedding.”
Among her likes are music, physics, traveling, knitting, butter-pecan ice cream, horseback riding, Greer Garson, John Payne, (Max Cranford) and Sammy Kaye’s orchestra. Her dislikes are conceited people and turnips.
Most of her spare time is spent playing the piano or violin. Having such a keen interest in music, she has composed a song of her own, entitled, “I’m Sailing Somewhere for the Good Old U.S.A.” Her hobby is collecting miniature musical instruments. She is now knitting sweaters and helmets for the Red Cross.
“I had a wonderful- time this summer,” she says, “when I went to Fort Wayne, Indiana, with my Uncle. I also went to Lake Junaluska.”
“I haven’t definitely planned my future, but I will probably go to N.C. and major in music.”
Good luck, Marie!”
{Marie later married Bain Jones and her obituary from 2016 tells the story of how music played a significant role the rest of her life}
