We ll ne er forget each other And our school for what it stood: Faith, Truth, Loyalty And all things that are good. To our teachers we can't express The gratefulness we feel .... Miss Mac, Miss Harrell, Mr. Welch, Miss Janie and Miss Reel. To these and all the others Who led us on the way We know it must be a relief To see this graduation day! For often did we try their souls With pranks and rowdy noise. At playing hookey, we'll admit, The girls outdid the boys. Emily and Helen set the pace And never once were caught, Skipping school's one thing they learned That our teachers never taught. To Mr. Hicks we tip our hatsg For since 1931 Our girls had lagged at basketball, Till he showed them how it's done. County champions of '52 Is the record that we hold, Thanks to the coach and his team of girls Paced by Anna Belle Cole. vu.. x ..

But best of all the things we learned In books we did not find, For education's more than books. . , It's just a state of mind. We say goodbye to carefree days, And not without a tear, For ne'er again will such days come So free from grief and fear, We've laughed and pranked and puppy-10ved And now the end has come, A new beginning is in store For each and every one, We put aside these halcyon days In memory's precious book, Toward years of responsibility With confidence we look, Thomas Duncan Class Poet -0' mf J ii- N 'Q C 5 NM Ti? Y Q' ii 23 l As Seniors of Clayton High we take time from our many activities to remember our past school days. What a shy and frightened group we must have been when we entered the first grade, holding tight to our mothers' hands, all wanting to be in the room of Miss Janie Gulley, as We affectionately called her. Because Miss Janie was such a fine tooth puller we would wait a day, or even two, just to have her jerk them out! The remain- ing members of our group were in Miss Sadie Massey's room. Finally this snaggle-toothed group moved up to the second grade where Miss Burke and Miss Britt were our teachers, and spelling was our constant compan- ion. In the third our teachers were Mrs. Brantley and Miss Price, and arithmetic was the terror. In this grade our health was improved immensely by taking daily exercises. To prevent rheumatismnvas the reason of course. Our fourth grade teachers, Miss Jenkins and Mrs. Stevens, made sure we learned our geography, and so we moved up to the fifth grade with the Tigris and Uphrates Rivers still ringing in our ears. With such fine teachers as Woodall, Uzzle, Cruthfield, Poole, Floyd, Grey, Jeffreys, andHarrell for ourrremaining years in grammar school, we managed to struggle through without too much trouble. Finally, we reached the ninth grade. We then had our chance to prove to the school what the members of our class had to offer in athletics, Glee Club, and other school activities. We took our places in these activities and many in our class were at the top by the time we became seniors. Anna Belle Cole came to our class in the ninth grade and added much to our basketball team as well as other school activities. Mr, Paul Golden was our homeroom teacher and with his fine philosophy of life, That's all there are to it , to spur us on, we became sophomores feeling that we could accomplish much, Naturally, with Miss McMillan as our sophomore teacher, we came through that year with flying colors, really feeling that we were a part of high school after paying tribute to the seniors. Our junior year passed rather quickly. We gave our junior play, A Date With Judy , and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Also, that year our principal, Mr. Waters, came to our school, gaining respect and admiration from all the students. We knew that all important year, our senior year, held much in store for us. And now we come to the present---our senior year. We have fine teachers and helpersg Miss Patterson, our senior sponsor, Miss Ownby, Miss McMillan, Miss Taylor, Mr. Benton, Mr. Hicks, and Mr. Waters, our principal. We are fortunate this year to have Blondell Isenhour from Valdese to come to our class as a new mem- ber. We feel that our school years have been filled with the best of all opportunities. Carrying with us many pleasant memories of our past, we face the future with great expectations? Historian ..... Helen Austin -- -l i V. . ,J-unr.-A. -... .Cast Wzll and Ccsfammt We, the Senior Class of 1953 of Clayton High School, in the County of Johnston, the state of North Carolina, being of sound mind and realizing that we have just spent twelve of the most valuable and eventful years of our lives in school, wish to leave behind some advice as well as a few of our remarkable accomplishments to those students who, in our opinion, will best benefit by them. We, ARTICLE I the Senior Class of '53, leave to Mr. Waters and the faculty our undying love and affection because they, realizing that it was within their call of duty to be rid of us as soon as possible, have done so much to further our departure from Clayton High. ARTICLE II We, the Seniors, leave to our school the remains of twelve years of hard labor. ARTICLE III We, the Seniors, leave to the Juniors our quiet, mannerly ways and our ability to get what we We, We, we want. the Seniors, leave to the Sophomores absolutely nothing, not caring in the least whether they graduate or not, the Seniors, leave to the Freshmen a little of all our accomplishments because they have three more tough years. We feel that all help will be deeply appreciated. ARTICLE IV Individual Bequests: I, Judson Pulley, leave one sixteenth of my brain to Eugene Capps.

Faison. I, Ruby Jean Jones, leave my extra spacious, large, made-to-order desk in the senior home room to Caroline Nelson. Caroline also inherits my nickname. I, William Bagley, leave my wit, athletic glory, and bad influence over the rest of the boys to a very deserving student, James Lassiter. I, Elmona Benson, leave to certain noisy freshmen and sophomores some grand advice, Shut up! I, Larry Johnson, feel that I have need of all my talents, so I leave nothing behind, l, Jack Holt, leave to Douglas Dean my ability to be a living example of a courteous, considerate student, I, Betty Lou Stewart, bequeath to all the love sick girls in Clayton High a good glance at my diamond and best wishes for a happy hunting season. I, Elsie Brady, leave my surname behind on the school records, since I plan to be taking a new name after school is over, I, Belvia Tolbert, bequeath to Betsy Pulley my blond hair, I, Janice Crumpler, bequeath to Marie Snipes my ability to attract men, I, Marilyn Blinson, leave my sympathy to the many students who own pug noses in high school. Don't we have a time when it rains ? I, Yours truly, wish to leave to Jackie Yates some advice! Life is much too complicated and short to do things you don't want to do. I, Bobby Dodd, just leave, period. Testator. . . Emily Barden E M X , , X Hfiss Praphecy J' P- As I look into our wonder filled future, I see-yes, it is our own Helen Austin, She is a Paris Model. You can contact her at the Paris de Bois fBoysl Hotel. Just call for Madamoiselle Helena Austina. You would never guess, but Bobby Dodd is a Zookeeper. He looks after the skinny headed monkeys. Since Bobby Blinson has no class room in which to get his beauty sleep, Marilyn Blinson and her husband, Rex Lee, have given him a room at the Hindu Hotel. Elsie Brady, now Mrs. Phillip Fish, seems content looking after her small children, They are making their home in Raleigh. Raymond Capps the bottles. He hasn't changed his occupation. Anna Belle Cole travels the country in a covered wagon with her show. She sells Anna Be11e's Cole Medicine. Emily Barden and Judson Pulley, voted most likely to succeed, are her snake charmers. William Bagley has finally succeeded. He stays home and keeps the children ffour boys, while Emily travels with A. B. 's show to support them. Blondell lsenhour thinks she is head matron at Dix Hill. Thomas Duncan is a concert pianist, now studying for his Doctor's degree in Europe. He is studying with Professor Lemchycheknostifermekiselaptrieskiey Martha Harrison and Duke Jones seem very happy, Duke is Manager of Modern Clean- ners. To all you boys interested in pool, don't be afraid of getting caught, because the new principal is none other than Billy Holder. Peggy Faisoin has her own beauty shop. Working with her is Hazel Johnson. Joe Norris is very happy since she and Bobby have a home of their own, Billy Johnson's ambition, along with hard work, has given him position as Mayor, and Jack Holt, with his love for school, is chairman of the local school board. Four of our classmates, Elmona Benson, Hazel Jones, William Sherron, and Shirley Hill, have become broadway stars. They are starring in the fall production of The Gathering of the Nuts. Mary Alice Stephenson is starting her tenth year as chief-cheerleader at U. N. C. She is waiting for Brent to finish High School. Leray Worley is a double champion. Last year he was the world's heavy weight boxer. This year he is making a movie, The Worst Show On Earth, in which he and Ruby Jean Jones co-star as trapeze artists. Betty Stewart and her husband, Roy Coats, are living in California, They have two fine sons who say they will follow in their father's footsteps. All you short girls need not worry any more, for Larue Harrison and Jeanette Hill are partners in the Short Fashion Shop. Larry Johnson teaches Spanish here at Clayton, while Lamar Lee, the ladies' man, is being married for the fourth time. Good Luck! Janice Crumpler's luck has changed. She has just been named winner of the 1958 Miss America Contest.
