CLASS OF 1954 As the curtain rose on the school year of 1953-'54, the cast of Lenoir High School had as its stars the Senior class. lt was a shock to these boys and girls, who such a seemingly short time ago had timidly entered the doors of Lenoir High School for the first time, to find that now they were stars, not stand-ins or bit players. Many members of the class took active parts in school activities: many even became leaders. With the choosing of officers, mascots, and sweaters, seniors showed their good sportsmanship and cooperative spirit by working together for the good of all. - When the last diploma is handed out and the last sad-eyed senior marches up the aisle, the curtain will fall on the final performance of the class of '54, But though these stars will appear no more in the Lenoir High School cast of characters, it is the hope of every senior th ' forgotten by the players who helped to make this, his senio at he will not be r year, a happy one. 18

as 9 GENE BARRIER has the admir- ation of his fellow students, an optimistic, fun-loving disposition, wt far and a magnetic personality. Gene is a boy of real worth. One of our married seniors, GAII.. BOWLES, will be remembered for her efficient work in the office. I-Ier plans for the future naturally re- volve around home-making. JACK BARRIER S personality be- speaks ability and kindness. These qualities will boost him up the ladder of success. To know her is to love her is quite true of PATSY BOYLE. Her sweet disposition and charm- ing personality have won her many friends. Speaking of ability, of fairness and squareness, of good common sense. of fun and foolishness, of comrade- ship and popularity - well - this is PEGGY BRADLEY. One doesn't find boys like JIMMY BRAWLEY every day, everywhere. They just aren't made like him. Most of all he is a good sport, whatever the score. Although red hair is a sign of a temper, REBECCA BRYANT proves that this doesn't always hold true. She will benefit from her personality. The mischievous glint in MELBA BURGESSS eyes labels her as a fun-lover. She never bores her friends with worn-out slang but entertains them with originality.
