For almost eight years we had looked forward to the time when we would be high school students. We were a class of twenty-six when we were promoted from the eighth grade. Beatrice Williamson, Paul Fowler, Charles Howell, Jr., and Bobby Harris joined us from various schools. It was a pleas- ure to welcome these four students to our school. This made our number thirty. Mrs. Pierce was our Freshman teacher. We elected our class officers and got to work. Before we knew it, the year was completed and we were Sopho- mores. We lost several of our classmates and were now a group of twenty- eight. Kenneth Medlin was elected as our class president. Our activities were a bit numerous this year. Another added to our class was Horace Reaves. Se- cond semester Paul Fowler was elected president. In the fall of 1952 our Junior Class was a happy group of twenty-two. Four of our classmates failed to return to school, but it was a privilege to wel- come Anne Singletary to our class. Mr. Jackson was our home room teacher. Bobby Babson was elected president of our class, Kenneth Medlin, vice-p1-es- dent, Anne Singletary,secretaryg and Bobby Harris, treasurer. We had numerous important activities during our Junior year. Among them was the ordering of our class rings. The event that almost everyone looked forward to was the Junior-Senior Banquet. The banquet was held at the Gym- nasium on April 4. Everything was grand, and those who attended will long remember this festivity. Our final year began in August, 1953, with Mr. Jackson as our home room teacher. We were glad to have him again for our Senior year. Charles Howell, Jr. was elected president and we dignified seniors began working on the many tasks that were before us. It was a great pleasure to publish the school annual. Let's hope everyone will enjoy and treasure it in the years to come. The outstanding ventures of our Senior year were the publishing of the annual, the presentation of one class play, the participation in the O'Henry and Sidney Lanier Literary Society contest, and the preparation for graduation. We will forever be grateful for the privilege of attending this school and for the guidance and encouragement of our parents, teachers and principal. When we receive our diplomas, the history of our class as a group ends, and each member will write his own history by his future deeds. Wanda Hufham, HISTORIAN LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT We, the graduating class of 1954, realizing that the close of our school days are near at hand, think it wise to leave something to those who in the future will undertake to fill our places. In the course of our high school days, naturally,we have accumulated var- ious and valuable possessions, our years have been fruitful. We have acquired a vast store of knowledge along with other things that will help us through our lives. After twelve-years of hard mental labor, and realizing that an end must come to all good things, do hereby make and ordain this to be our Last Will and Testament. 24 To our faithful and long suffering principal, Mr. Wortman,we will the Jun- ior Class hoping they will be as co-operative as we have TRIED to be. We also will him our joyous voices in the halls, study halls , and classrooms, so he won't be lonesome in our blessed absence and the absence of our chewing gum pap- ers. To our sponsor, Mr. Jackson, to whom we are very much indebted for his leadership and guidance, we leave our wishes thathe may have ahistory class just as he wants it to be. To our teachers, we leave our trust in them and the pleasure that is given to them each year, of molding the Senior Class into agroup with our high stan- dards and loving dispositions. To the Juniors, we leave our privilege to go to lunch early and also other privileges, we didn't have. We also leave them our dignity, hoping they will succeed on their road of life.
