CLASS HISTORY After a year packed with glad and sad occasions in the e i g h t h grade, seventy-two bright- eyed freshmen climbed the high school stairs to begin four years of work and play. Our ninth grade was led by two charming and goodpresidents, Nancy Grady and Henry Grady. Our sponsors who helped us along were Mrs. Alice Davis and Miss Grace Baker. Most of us became members of the F.H.A. or F.F.A. The thing we enjoyed most was the initiation. Even before we knew it, school was coming to a close and we remembered all the parties and weiner roasts we had during the year. It wasn ' t long before it was barefoot time again and did it seem good, after wearing our shoes all the year. Then it wasn ' t long before the tobacco barning time. Soon this freedom was over and sixty-two jolly sophomores returned in August 1955 with new notebooks, pencils, and stories of the summer. Checking in our homerooms, we found that Miss Mary Anna Grady and Mrs. Grace Carlton were our homeroom teachers of whom we were proud. During the year parties andEnglish pro- jects thrilled our souls. We will never forget Mr. Edgar Wells and William Shakespeare whom we studied about so much. Soon after mid-term exams, grades were averaged for the Beta Club membership. Nancy Grady, Charlotte Smith, Lind a Holt, Remus Creel, Perry Grady, Carlyle Herring, Scarlett Hill, Lorraine Howell, Carolyn Kornegay, Rachel Outlaw, Thomas Patterson, F rederick Rhodes, Gregory Smith, Joette Smith, and Jimmy Southerland became members. We were really proud of them. We chose our class officers. They were Charlotte Smith and Rachel Outlaw, presidents; Thomas Patterson and Nancy Grady were vice-presidents; Joette Smith andSue Smith, treasurers: Linda Holt and Peggy Carter were reporters. We will never forget the skating parties we had at Goldpark Lake. Everyone was so sore and blue from falls that they could hardly make it to school the next day. We also had a hamburger supper at the Cliffs during the year. Several of our classmates joined the F.T.A. under the direction of Mrs. Davis. School was soon out and we were in the fields again. Before we even realized it, we were on the buses again bound for school. Fifty-five happy and good-looking junior s entered the end room to start their happy and busy year with Mr s. Glover as our class sponsor. Our first projectwas selling magazines for which we chose sides to see which sides could sell the most. The losing side gave the winning side a party at King ' s in Kinston. Several won watches. We beat all the classes before us with sales. Our next joy was when we ordered our class rings. After a long fuss we made up our minds to get red sets. We were tickled when they finally arrived and that day will never be forgotten. Another one of our important projects was the presentation of our play, The Cannibal Queen under the direction of Mrs. Glover. Characters in the play were Patricia, Remus, Pat, Freddy, Anne, Rachel, Mary Gold, Verne, Perry, Nancy, Linda, and Sue who was the Queen. Soon after our play was over, Mrs. Glover had to leave us because of illness. Mrs. Steve Wilkins of Rose Hill took her place; so we coixldn ' t have asked for anyone any better than Mrs. Wilkins. Soon after Mrs. Wilkins came we started planning the Junior-Senior Banquet which we will never forget. The theme of our banquet was An Evening in Gay Paree. It is pleasant to recall our class officers : Perry, president; Lorraine, vice-president; Nancy, secretary; Joette and Charlotte, treasurers; Doris, reporter Another one of our memories was going to Greenville to attend High School Day . After a three months ' vacation the school doors began to swing open and we gladly passed through them once more. We were finally seniors! As we entered the senior homeroom we found to our surprise that Mr. Edgar Wells and Mr. LarryStewart were our homeroom teachers. Knowing of the work ahead we jumped right in and elected our officers with Per-ry as president. We decided to have dances every other Wednesday night with the proceeds goingfor our Washing- ton-New York Trip in the spring. We will never forget the days we pulled corn at Perry ' s home. We still remember those hands and cockleburs. Calling cards have already been received and exchanged. Invitations have been selected. We will never forget the experiences from selling candies. The New Year ' s Eve Party held at the Pleasant Grove Community Building will always be memorable. Now the senior play, graduation in blue caps and gowns, and our trip lie just around the cor- ner for forty-six happy seniors. Anne Kornegay Historian 30
