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. -...
