Albany.
favorite, Charlie grinned and
said, "Lunch, then snacks!"
Seriously he responded, "Mrs.
Harrison’s English class
because she inspires
thought.”
The multi-talented teenager
has several hubbies. Charlie
particularly enjoys camping,
hikihg, “eating", sketching,
and an unusual art- doing
impersonations. Whitin about
a ninety second time period,
Charlie can "become": Duke
John Wayne; Lyndon John
son; W.C. Fields, Elvis
Presley; or Humphrey
"Bogey" Bogart. The "aping"
talent has led him to perform
at several talent shows.
The 5-11, 185 pounder played
two years of high school
football, as a senior starting
as defensive nose guard. As a
senior Charlie also volun
leered for the tennis team,
despite being a novice And,
he responded to a last minute
call by performing on the WHS
track team.
Charlie is torn between two
career choices- art and
broadcasting. He is an ac
complished artist, mainly in
charcoal or soft lead sketches
But when the Westfield
seniors had two weeks to
spend “on the job" in career
training, Charlie opted to
work at WPGA Radio, thereby
nourishing a budding disc
jockey interest.
Young Mr. Hay says he “has
absolutely no interest in a
political career", despite his
family being involved in the
political sphere Mrs Ray
adds, "Those are famous last
words."
Charlie has had several
different employers after
school and in the summers. At
various times he has worked
at an Easlgate drugstore;
loaded peaches; worked at a
convenience store on Main
Street; and been employed by
a pest control firm. This
summer, he is working at a
huge company a few miles
south of Perry.
Charlie will be headed for
Young Harris Junior College
in Young Harris, Georgia, this
fall The tough school is
located about three miles
from Hiawassee near the
Tennessee line and is situated
in the midst of mountain
grandeur Charlie plans to
study art and possibly tran
sfer to the University of
Georgia to obtain his
bachelor's degree
Although Charles Richard
Ray has been involved in
many different things as a
student, he is more than the
sum of those parts. Charlie is
bright, friendly, and con
cerned Maybe he would make
a good future of

“I wonder what is around the bend,” probably echoes in the thoughts of
motorists, including school bus drivers and mailmen, on this unpaved road
located in south Houston County near Klondike Road. Profusely growing bush
effectively prevents any persons driving on the narrow road from seeing
around the bend. But the road itself is in good condition, although narrow.
