Adfory O! ffm ...guitar 54455 In the fall of 19-H, 165 young students entered Asheboro High School as green freshmen, and now 79 hope to emerge in the spring of I9-49 as graduates. During the first year we had a multi- tude of troubles. Getting to class on time seemed impossible when there were only three minutes to gab and reach the next class. Our text books were never in the right place at the right time. Our home work seemed to be a flood accompanied with wind and thunder. In spite of all this the seniors inspired us with awe. We studied very hard, hoping to be in their place in three more years. Wfhen our Sophomore year began, we felt qualified to be called silly sopho- mores. We giggled at everything that was said. At the beginning of the year Mr. Car- penter, our principal, went to Elkin. We hated to see him go, but were very for- tunate in having Mr. Teachy come here as our principal. At the beginning of our junior year everyone began to feel rather important. All became more interested in football games and the basketball games. Some of us were hoping to be lucky enough to be tapped for the Beta Club. Late in the year fourteen of us were tapped and ini- tiated into the Beta Club. The class chose as its ofhcers Winfred Webb, presidentg Max Lowdermilk, vice- presidentg Margaret Price, secretaryg jo- anne Grimes, treasurer. In the early spring of 1947 our class rings arrived. All juniors made it con- venient to wave their hands about a great deal in order to show off their rings. That spring the class gave a play to raise funds to entertrin the Senior Class. The play was entitled Here Comes Char- lie. Bobby Strickland, Mary Moore Lov- ett, C. A. Holt, lane Cox, Marilyn Walk- er, Keith Shealy, Gerlene Cox, V. U. Pul- liam, 'loanne Grimes. and -lodie Pugh made up the cast. Our junior-Senior Prom came in late April. That was a great event for all who attended. We tried to give .1 very attrac- tive dance, as the Senior Class had given two dances. Moonlight Serenade was our theme. The last of May we were all rushing around studying very hard and eramrning, for final exams were coming up and we surely did need to make good on them. On September 4, 1947, we entered the doors of Asheboro High School as digni- hed seniors. Our class is a rather small one, with only 79 members. We shall all be glad to graduate. but shall miss our Alma Mater. This fall we lost our principal, Mr. Guy B. Teachy, who was promoted to the position of Superintendent of City Schools. In his place came Mr. George W. Holmes, who is filling the position admirably. After thinking about it for a few weeks, we elected our class othcers. They are Keith Shealy, presidentg Raymond Up- dyke, vice-president: Faedene Ragsdale, secretaryg C. A. Holt, treasurer. We chose as our mascots Billy joyner and Sally Stedman. Our class colors are red and white, and our flower is a red rose. Our motto is Not Finished, just Begun. The history of the Class of '48 will not end the night we receive our diplomas, but it will continue as each member goes his or her separate way. May each of us realize his greatest ambition. c. jane Cox, Cfr1.l',f H ir! c11'j.111.
