Glass Hisfofuj Forty-seven seniors were graduated from Yadkinville High School on May 31, 1952. This, our class, was the largest ever to graduate here, but we had our meager beginning, too. Ten students from Forbush Grammar School brought the total number of freshmen to seventy in 1948. Mr. B. S. Linville and Miss Arlene Williams had the somewhat dubious distinction of being our homeroom teachers. Scared and green, all seventy of us chose Betty Ann Anderson and Lewis Brumfield as our presidents. Besides our studies and other activities, we had lots of fun following the boys' basketball team which captured the Yadkin Valley Tourna- ment. We picnicked at Reynolds Park in Winston-Salem. Ignorance was bliss because we enjoyed everything that year. By the end of the year we were beginning to adapt ourselves to this new mode of life, but by that time we were sophomores. Miss Alice Dixon and Miss Mary Harding, as our homeroom teachers, were forced to listen to our silly giggles all year. This period of our high school history will forever be lost in oblivion, except for the fact that our boys' team won the Journal-Sentinel Tournament. We lost about one-third of our class these two years to jobs, marriages, and other schools. In 1950, we emerged as jolly juniors. Were we busy that year! Our homeroom teachers were Mrs. Claude Davis and Miss Ethel Marie Hall, who has since become Mrs. Richard Kelly. Class presidents that year were Pattie Cranfill and Betty .lo Hutchens. Football was reinstated here for the first time in fifteen years. Sue Ratledge represented us in the Piedmont Bowl Beauty Contest. Immediately after school started, we began working for and arguing about the Junior-Senior Banquet. A new precedent was set by having the banquet at home in our brand-new gymnasium and high school building. In February, several members of the United States History Class took a memorable jaunt to Williamsburg, Virginia. Handle With Care was our junior play. With Willie Grey Smith as chief, junior marshals were Sue Ratledge, Bonnie Williams, Betty Ann Kiger, Lois Wooten, and Lewis Brumfield. Of course, we picked daisies and cried when the Seniors of '51 left. Beginning school in 1951 presented a new and pleasant change, since we were seniors. Miss Mary Harding and Mrs. Leo Wagoner were our sponsors. Lewis Brumfield was elected president of the class, Betty Jo Hutchens, vice president, Anne Speer, secretary, Geraldine Vestal, treasurer, and Willie Grey Smith, reporter. Right after school started, we received our rings, soon after eiecting Willie Grey Smith as the editor of our annual. Patsy Redding was our P' , -L' 1 . . . iedmont Bowl representative. Things started rolling right in the spring of 1952 when the juniors gave us a lovely banquet Then events began ilin u , , , ' P 9 P in rapid succession-the play, an unforgettable trip to Washington, class night and a picnic for the juniors. Graduation on May 31 was almost an anticlimax to this exciting whirl of ha e ' . W h our own way. Time marches on! pp nmgs it mixed emotions, each of us went
