Elass It would be quite impossible to put on pa pe r the experiences that have meant the most to us. These are inscribed in the hearts and minds of us, the seniors. This history is a brief, lasting record to keep these things clear in our minds through the coming years. With mingled emotions, our eyes toward the future, we, the new sub- fre shmen,began our struggle through high school in 1951. Our guiding lights during the first year of our quest for education were Mr. Miller, Miss Lynch, Mr.Hall,and Mr.Hucks. To climax this year for us , we elected Arba Carmichael and Lorese Hucks as our May Day attendants. After a brief summer rest, we started back to school. We took our places in the different clubs and or- ganizations, and elected our class officers and settled down to work. Ree Graham was elected Treasurer of the Student Council and Sapphira Richardson and J e r ry Gene Allen represented us in the Student Coun- cil. Later on in the year , Arba Carmichael and Anna Brooks were elected May Day attendants. We began our sophomore year by electing class officers, Patricia Smith serving as pr e s ident . Our representatives in the Student Coun- cil were Charle s Floyd and Mary Alice Singleton, and Norma Lundy was elected secretary. We chose Patricia Smith and Anna Brooks as our May Day attendants. The best was saved for the last, because for some of us being tapped into the National Honor Society was the best. Lora James, Sara Ellen Page, C h a rl e s Floyd, Mary Ann Doyle, Bernice McCrackin, Lorese Hucks, and Norma Lundy were the new members. Under the leadership of our president, Charles Floyd, we began our junior year. Our homeroom tea- chers were Mrs.Hucks,Mrs.Counts, and Mr. Altman. We elected to the MayCourt Marjorie Richardson and Patricia Smith. Our play, Tomboy, turned out to be a big success. The c a st included Charles Floyd, Lora History James, Marjorie Richardson, Peggy Page, Jerry Gene Allen, James Coy Vaught , Ralph Andrews, Charles Davis , Norma Lundy, Addie Mae Vaught , Sara Ellen Page, Bessie Nobles, Mary Ann Doyle, and Shelby Jean Floyd. New members elected to th e National Honor Society were Marjorie Ric har d s on , Cathryn Peavy, Phillip Graham, and Peggy Page. ln our final year, we are but two classes with Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Stoudemire as our teachers and our class president, Ernest Baxley, The big election for this year was May King and Queen. Marjorie Richard- son was elected Queen and her King was Ernest Baxley. Escort and Maid of Honor we r e Ralph Andrews and Mary Ann Doyle. Norma Lundy and Cathryn Peavy were c ho s en May Day attendants. Thi s pa s t fall, our boys made a fine showing in foot- ball. The members of the team from our classgJerry Allen,Mark Johnson, Charles Floyd, Ernest Baxley,Ralph Andrews, Dan Page , Basil Dudley, Walter Capps , and Billy Guntergalong with the r e st of the team, won the District Twelve Class A Cham- pionship and played for lower state but lo st . So far Basketball season has not gone far enough to determine state championship, but the season up to now has turned out well. With Lora James as Captain, Mary Ann Doyle as Co-Captain, Sar a Ellen Page, and Cathryn Peavy from our cla s s on the team, we're reaching for the top . Honors bestowed upon students were Miss Hi Miss, which went to Sara Ellen Page and Miss D.A.R., Whichwent to Lorese Hucks. When things seem to go wrong, and the odds seem against us in the remainder of our journey thr ough life, it would be well worthwhile to bear these words in mind: Life's contest doesn't always go To the stronger or faster mang But sooner or later the man who wins ls the man who thinks he can. Lora Opal James Class Historian
