Eleventh grade - more and more and more money- raising proiects, our magazine sale being the most fruitful. We sponsored beauty contests, and again one of our class- mates was chosen Sweetheart of B.H.S. And of course, no one will ever forget our Junior-Senior. lt was considered the most outstanding ever given. We really worked hard on it, and it was the most beautiful thing we had ever seen. Tears flowed when our lovely pond broke just five hours before the dance was to begin. After much ado from all hands we repaired the mess, and the prom was a huge success. Twelfth grade - can you believe it, SENIORS at last! Biggest and busiest year yet! There was the Powder Bowl contest, there were the college entrance exams which we all studied so hard for, our class rings finally arrived, and there was the mad rush to meet the publication deadline for the annual. Work piled up on us - essays - term papers - interrupted by the physical fitness tests. Whatsoever' House I Enter was the Senior play that was so much fun and took so many hours of practice. The trip to New York and Washington was wonderful in every way and exciting beyond description. The May Day Festival was thrilling and beau- tiful in every detail as our King and Queen really held a fes- tive court. The Junior-Senior prom was lovely and all that we had eagerly anticipated. Graduation, the seniors somber in white cap and gown, was a proud time, a sad time, the last time for many of us to share our time and pleasures. This phase of our life has come to an end, but we will always remember these days and the wonderful time that we have had. We have come a long way from that day twelve years ago when we giggled and pushed our way into our first class- room. We've been boosted and encouraged by our teach- ers and advisors-we shall miss their kindly assistance as we move into the impersonal adult world. Beaufort High, we shall miss you-please miss us a little, too, and thanks, for everything .... . . No school is like the old school, The school we knew so well, The plain old school of by-gone days, With its clanging, ding-dong bell, In our ears we hear its music still As the bell swung to and fro, In fancy hear the scholars' din As to their desks they go. No days are like the school day- We see the teachers there, We hear the schoolroom's droning buzz, Feel mischief in the air, We hold again our books and slates, Play games again with vim, A misty haze is o'er those days- Perhaps our eyes are dim ....

THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1959 Page One Hundred Twenty-Two 'I947 was the big year that we began first grade. At long last our ambition had been realized: to go to school as our older brothers and sisters had done. First, second, and third grades, we lost and regained our teeth, loved our teachers as another mother, did won- derful work with our hands to take home proudly, learned some schooling, some discipline, and some knowledge of the world around us. Fourth and fifth grades, the fun of school changed to harder tasks with the hated homework becoming a regular must . We began to criticize our teachers, act silly, show- off, we found ourselves swinging like a pendulum from praise to punishment. Sixth grade, we changed more than any other year. Frustrated and proud, we faced a new world of boy-gir! awareness. We were the last class to make the big trip to Charleston where we spent the whole day doing exciting things. It was a day we all remember vividly - marred only by the unhappy fact that the boys and girls had to travel by separate buses. Then came graduation, for which we prac- ticed for weeks. In white dresses and suits, we marched in, sang songs and made speeches, and proudly and gladly said goodbye to grade school. Seventh grade - High School at last! There was a different teacher for each subiect, and no more recesses. Although we attended class in the pre-fabs , we did eat with the Seniors in the big lunch room. Remember when the heater broke and we had to go to school in the Baptist Sunday School? This year we ioined the sports clubs, music clubs, science clubs, and dramatics clubs. Our growing-up may have seemed painful to others, but to us it was delight- ful!! Lipstick and grown-up clothes, and the beginning of important athletic events - life moved fast. Eighth grade - our dancing improved, and our dating became more frequent. Athletics really became important. Driving lessons made us feel grown-up, and the bickering with our parents to take the car began. Ninth grade - we moved into the new building and welcomed Mr. Randel as our new principal. For the first time, we were allowed to choose two of our subjects by our- selves. There was Student Council, Beaufortonian staff, Tidal Wave staff to enhance and make our lives busy to the fullest. We were proud that one of our classmates was chosen Sweetheart of B.H.S. Tenth grade - our money-making proiects began: candy sales, bake sales, dances - all with an eye to the future. Our boys were being recognized in their athletic events, and our teachers chose our most brilliant students for the State Mental Contests in Columbia.
