We have never knowi, in its true sense, a period of normality. From war-time babies, whose parents lixfed with fearful hearts, we grew into youth of the Sputnik Age. We participated in progress never before witnessed by man. We wei present at the birth of a dream and at the wholesome destruction of millions of iireams as the hydrogen bomb became a reality. The chain reaction of world eventsi with the help of time, have hurled us on the threshold of a greater life, college?

After four quar- ters of playing time the Camels chalked up their first victory. With the smell of success, the Maroon and Golders, led by quarterback John Thomas, pushed over five touchdowns and four extra points to defeat Second Ward of Charlotte for their second victory. Traveling to rocking city of High Point, the Atkins eleven invaded William Penn Tigers and cramped away with a revenging victory. Before a large crowd, two undefeated and untied teams met on the Atkins gridiron, when the Camels played host to Dudley High of Greensboro. After the two immovable forces battled for four periods, the contest ended in a tie. With end Thurmond Evans racing the length of the field on the opening kick-off, the Atkins gridironers invaded the Highland Rams and blanked the Gastonia eleven. While racking their ancient rivals, the Yel- low Jackets, the Maroon and Golders crushed the Carver gridmen at Bowman Gray Stadium, for their fifth conference victory. Taking the road again, the Camels traveled to Raleigh and strolled away with a decisive triumph over the Little Blues. With Coaches Warren, Oldham, Hollings- worth and Green leading the way, the Atkins pigskinners hopped a freight and slaughtered Washington High of Reidsville for their final game of the season, and completed their S7 season with a record of seven wins and one Ile. g 'nw 461551 1 REQ 5 l -1 s QS: 'H-.w'.w1 -wvfw K Q 2 ls.. . it y ka Q ,gysgigi In i . i 3 gf ' 34s'.51i1ti4Fy'3YFN1 i ,061 1 I T I 5 , , , 4, 1531? 19 C r' 1 kai . ll L X if '.

The advanced typing class's work consists of how to improve typing power, problems in office proce- dure, office forms, making duplicate copies, the use of mimeograph, production work, and legal typing. 22 Typing Class A The Atkins High School chapter of the Future Busi- ness Leaders of America was granted its charter on Jan- uary l6, 1957 by the United Business Education Associa- tion. The charter number is 1510. The purpose of the organization is to get each member to prepare himself for a useful occupation, to be actively interested in bet- ter social, political, commu- nity, and family life, and to carry out assigned tasks in a manner that will reflect credit to himself, his asso- ciates, his school, and his community.

The Atkins Camels, defending State Champions, proved to be the sur- prise team of the Western AAA Conference in the l95'-58 basketball sea- ' son. Although the Camels ended its regular season's schedule with I wins and only three losses, they were defeated in the district tournament by High Point 56-52, thus losing their bid to enter the finals. In the beginning of the season, Coach Green's task was to produce a I Y caravan of outstanding Camels from lettermen: Howard Ridgill, Edward Robinson, Hubbard Alexander, james Price and john Thomas, and devel- oped a team with all the potentialities of remaining State Champions. This success was achieved without the presence of last season's great favorites: Eugene Werts, David Archie, and Bobby Williams, who bidded the 3. ,M ,, squad farewell at the end of the 1956-57 loop season. ' Receiving their first defeat at the hands of Williston High of Wilming- ton, 46-45, the Atkins quint revenged this loss in their next contest, 66-64. 'Ihe second loss of the season was handed to the quint by the Dudley High Panthers to the tune of 66-65 in an overtime period. The Camels were dealt their third loss by E. E. Smith of Fayetteville in a 6-4--45 net hattle. Having completed the season with a l -5 record, the always outstanding Atkinites were highly favorites to cop the district title and be top competi- tion for the State honors, nevertheless, the Atkins quint met the shabby five of High Point, whom they had walloped twice, on the second night of the district tournament, and absorbed a heart-breaking defeat to the tune of 56-52, thus losing their bid to enter the State finals. Although cagers Robinson, Price, Thomas, Alexander, and Ridgill are bidding the squad farewell, the Camels' next twenty opponents will meet such men as Hessie Smith, Willie Porter, W'illiam Steele, George Archie, and Alonzo McCloud, and find that the Camels will not be denied, 38 Baskefball y- X.

This show, a musical extravaganza which has run the gamut of both popular music and the light classics. has provided many opportunities for students to exhibit their talents and interests in music, art, and the dance. We, the pedagogues of music, are not only concerned with imparting the elements of sound fundamental music practices and appreciations, but also, with discovering talent and innate talents, arousing them to a recog- nition of their abilities and after exposing them to the best that is in us, sending them on to reach their po- tential through further practice and study. The members of the Atkins Jazz Orchestra represent a group of young musicians who have mastered the required fundamentals, exhibited outstanding characteristics of leadership, cooperation, and musical potentiali- ties. For these reasons this group enjoys a reputation second to none. H. S. Wheeler -. Y 4A4.44Vqs..4 ., ,,,,,1 Mnqm- E We Q, STILANDING: Plowden tpianoj.

SIGNED: Class of 1958 Barrie Mitchell, Testator Prince Ella Hash, Testator 1 1 I, l I I 1. I I I History We, the senior class of 1958, nearing the completion of four wholesome years at Atkins High, pause to peer back into the dim mists of the past. As we watch we see dim shadows appear. These are the events of our four years here. We first see smiling, freckled-face freshmen rushing through the halls, proud to at last be a part of this noble institution. At first we were shy and stayed to ourselves. As soon as we became accustomed to the change in our lives, however, we began to join clubs and participate in extra-curricular activities. Our cotribution to the band was very impressive. We were represented by Carolyn Bailey, Jo Jean Lowrance, Barrie Mitchell, Carol Sawyer, Dorldine Thomas, Jo Ann Truesdale, Walter Adams, Vernon Cockerham, Ernest Goodman, Clarence Gore, Lemuel Stinson, Fred Tanner, and Alvestus Williams. We loved to sing even as freshmen, and so a dozen of us forward ourselves in the freshman choir. Among these were: Gloria Williams, Gloria Fuller, Shirley Wagner, Alice Barber, Evelyn Hairston, Pauline Miller, Lewis Crawford, Kenneth Jones, Graham Campbell, Brenda Parham, and james Rousseau. We also wasted no time in putting fourth our best effort scholastically. Several of us continually ranked high on the honor roll. On the gridiron and hard court our athletes showed their prowess and dexterity. Standouts on the foot- ball team were William Anderson, Hubbard Alexander, Clyde Crosby and Solomon Green. In basketball we were represented by james Price and Hubbard Alexander. By the skin of our teeth, we managed to struggle through Latin, math, science, and other studies and passed to the tenth grade. Time flies...the summer of '55 passed quickly, and before we knew it, we were returning to school. Soon after school had re-opened, we were eagerly performing the task at hand. We had representatives in nearly all the school organizations. Our talented actors won city-wide acclaim. Among these were Gloria Fuller, Gloria Williams, Graham Campbell, Donald McKnight, and Kenneth Jones. Several of us were promoted to the advanced band. Rosa Bulter, Valeria Cockerham, Gloria Watson, Rich- ard Glymph, Theodore Caldwell, Bobby Moton, Kinard Rockette, as well as other seasoned performers played successfully on many occasions. In both the State and District Music Festivals in Greensboro, we received su- perior rating. John Thomas, Willie Ashford, John Smith, Fredrick Agnew, and James Mansel became members of the football squad. The names of several of our group were becoming synonymous with honor roll, because of the regularity with which they made and topped it. Then came wonderful June. Thoroughly exhausted by the strenuous routine of school, we found blessed relief in all too short summer vacation. Before our strength was restored, we found ourselves marching back to school to tackle our third year of high school. Our football team climaxed a very successful season by defeating arch rival, Carver, in a very close and exciting game. Our candidate for the coveted title of Miss Atkins High was Jo Ann Truesdale. The basketball team brought the basketball season to a close with a series of smashing victories in the State Tour- nament. For having meritorious scholastic records, several of us were inducted into the Crown and Sceuter Club. Verleria Cockerham, jo Jean Lowrance, Rosa Butler, Gloria Fuller, Jo Ann Turner, Prestina Williamson, Shir- ley Wagner, James Rousseau, Vernon Cockerham, and Theodore Caldwell received this honor. Graham Camp- bell was elected Vice-President of the Student Council. In the spring the Concert Band, following a long tradition, brought more prestige to Atkins with another of its su riot rating in the State Music Festival. The Dance Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Wheeler, performegefor the gala Junior-Senior Prom. This group of musicians were Fred Tanner, Alvestus Williams, Ernest Goodman, James Lomax, Tyrone Scales, Lemuel Stinson, and Clarence Gore. We were represented on the baseball squad by Hubbard Alexander, Lemuel Stinson. Jacqueline Finney, Helen Royal, and Michael Ashley racked up the points for the tennis team. The year was climaxed by Awards Day at which time several of us received certificates of merit for out- standing scholastic achievement. The summer of '57 passed swiftly and at last the year of years had arrived. We were seniors! With the spirit of youth, we plunged into our studies. A few of our group were elected to positions of importance in several school organizations. Fred Tanner was elected president of the Senior Class and president of the junior Engineers' Club: James Rousseau was elected president of the Student Council, Graham Campbell was selected as captain of the Traffic Squad, and Prestina Williamson was chosen editor-in-chief of the Maroon Wave. Both the football and basketball teams had very successfui seasons. Mable Martin was chosen by the Sen- ior Class as their candidate for the title of Miss Atkins High and, in a very close campaign emerged victor- nous. On Monday night, january 20, 1958, in a very impressive ceremony in the school auditorium, a large num- ber of seniors were inducted into the Atkins Chapter of the National Honor Society. Vernon Cockerham was elected president of this organization. And now .as the sands of time run low for us, we are overcome with joy at having been able to attend dear old Atkins. With fond remembrances of those who helped us greatly, we watch reluctantly as the sands of time run out. Farewell!!
