Qlass fiistoixj 1949=1953 Four years have passed since we entered the long halls of Bethany High School a large class of seventy-five frightened freshmen. The halls rang out the announcement of our arrival, but from mid-air Miss Lucille Bowers and Mr. David Griffin, two grim but friendly homeroom teachers, appeared to take us in hand. Carlene Joyner was chosen as our class president to lead us, the green freshmen, that year. The first few weeks greeted us with initiation and the responsibility of changing classes. Slowly, but surely, we caught on. It wasn ' t so hard after all, and Bethany was tops in our hearts. 1950=1951 Entering our second year in high school, we found that several of our members had dropped out, while Glenn Sisk was our only new classmate. Miss Lucille Vaught and Mr. Harold Pope were our advisors and George Yeatts was chosen as our student leader. That year our main social function was a chicken fry in the school cafeteria. 1951=1952 We came back to school in 1951 looking forward to a wonderful affair the Junior-Senior Prom. This was held in a Hawaiian setting at the Belvedere Hotel in Reidsville. Our leaders that year, Mrs. Louise Baker, Mr. Pope, and David Knight, had much responsibility on their shoulders. Other dates to remember were the days when our class rings came and when Mr. Joyner gave us a class party. 1952=1953 September 1952 found us a class of thirty-six dignified seniors. By this time we had lost over half of our classmates. We were very sad over the death of one of our former classmates, Carolyn Odell Moricle. Delores Cayton Tucker was our only new member. Mr. Griffin, one of our first homeroom teachers, now had charge of us all. George Yeatts was again chosen class president. The social functions of the year were the Christmas party, the Junior-Senior Banquet, a week ' s trip to Washington, and our Senior play, If Mother Only Knew. These activities drew our class closer together and made us realize even more that the twelve years we had spent together were the happiest of our lives. With this history as our background, what will our future be? — Johnna George
