CLASS HISTGRY Do you know, Iohnny? Know what? Martha. How in the world, or how in the Senior Class, did we ever get selected to write the class history. I haven't even been here all the time so I don't know what happened. I'm sure I don't know how we were selected, but I do know one thing. What's that? I know that we've got until Monday morning to get this thing ready. Mondayl Yeahl Monday. I'll tell you what, Martha, since you don't know what happened the first six years of school I'll brief you while we are writing. Okay? nokayfl Well, I don't have a photographic memory, but I'll try to remember everything exactly as it was. Let's see now. It was back in September 1945 that thirty-four of us-we were angels then-ar- rived to start our first day of school. I can see us now, all scrubbed and starched and feeling big, but holding tightly to Mama's hand. There we were: you know Harriett Harrell, Gordon Searcy, Bruce Woodbury, little old Eleanor Haynes, curly haired Betty Brockett, Nelda Pol- lock, Patricia Hall, Betty Lane Kaln, Carolyn Cooper, Mary Charles Roberts-freckles and all, Freddy Alford, skinny Frank Battles, Pete Sharber -he had his front teeth then, Mildren Sharkey, Johnny Fleming, Billy Allen, Bobby Higdon, Phyl- lis Davis, Charles Martin, Iean Adams, Tommy Donaldson, Ila Darley, Sadie Emanuel, lean Iohn- son, Iohn Ingram, Gretchen Gause, Phoebe Porter, limmy Sullivan, Martha Connell, Ieannine Hurt, Cecil Simpson, Shirley Davis, Iohnny Knight and lohnny Daniels. In the second grade the magic key opened the door to admit SuzannePetty1ohn, Donia Wa ters, Betty Io Roland, Robert Woodham, Myrtice Dyches. What? Where did I get the key? Well, Betty said we were supposed to have a theme of keys in our annual, so we may as well start unlocking some doors to personalities and friendships as well as doors to learning while we are at it. During the third year our key again opened the door so that Iohn Bates, Ramona Duggar, Ieff Cooke, and Ellen Durham could come in, but while they were coming in Robert Woodham slipped out. In the fourth year of our school life we let Harriett Thigpen corne through the door of knowl- edge, and we transferred Betty Io Roland and Myrtice Dyches to other schools. By the end of the fifth grade we had opened the door so that Frances Hawkins and Alechia Hatcher could enter. Of course we opened the door with our key, which has become customary by now, you know. Another one slipped out: this time it was lean Adams. When we used our key to unlock the door to the sixth grade, we thought we were getting to be real grown-up, because now we had THREE
