Glass Histofn, In 1946, the dignified seniors of today were entering high school as green freshmen. Since there was such a large class it was essential that we be di- vided into two sections. Miss Arlene Williams sponsored the girls, while Mr. B. S. Linville took control of the boys. The fact that several freshman girls made the basketball team, proves that the classwas unusual from the beginning. The jump into high school was a big one and some took marriage as the only Way out. After the first semester we had outgrown some of the shyness which we brought with us into the high school. In our sophomore year we had the pleasure of initiating the freshmen. They underwent the same experiences we had had the previous year. We were again divided. Miss Mary Harding and MissAlice Dixon were faced with the problem. Asjuniors we had a very eventful year. In January the United StatesHistory classes took a sightseeing trip to historical Williamsburg, Virginia. On our re- turn, six girls from our class were taken into the Beta Club. We were kept busy raising money for the annual Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Elkin Y . The Junior play The Meddlesome Maid was a great success. Our home- room teacher was Mrs. Elva Hoots. The big project for our Senior year was publishing our annual, The Yad- kinian. Our sponsors were Miss Mary Harding and Mr. R. P. Buchanan. To the Juniors we express our sincere thanks for the exquisite banquet which they .gave us. In the spring, along with spring fever, came that long awaited trip to Wash- ington, D. C. Although some of us had seen the city before, it was still an ad- venture never to be forgotten. Asa grand finale of our senior year came Class Night, Senior Play,and that all-important Graduation Day. Our dreams are about to come true. We can look back and see our mistakes and understand what a hard job the teachers have had these last four years, but perhaps their efforts will bring forth more fruit in the future than they now imagine. 5 55? .1 13 uh S W K cg , 7' S :eff S or 17 QE ,., x ' up 7 ri Si I A 2? 9 .Si i'Q..g-if ,M Q K X a ffl 0 WX' XQS - QE ?
