CLASS HISTORY Our class really got off to a good start in Sep¬ tember, 1937. There were so many of us that we were divided into two classes. There are 14 of us now who started out together in the first year. Most of the time we did our tasks well, and in all the contests which we entered we usually came out on top. Nothing discouraged us because we were a hard working class. While we were in the second grade, we competed in an Easter egg hunt contest against the grammar school as well as the high school. Again, we won the prize— a white bunny rabbit. The years passed by fast, and at the end of our eighth year we graduated to enter High School. Many of our classmates had joined us during our eight years together and there were also a few whom we had lost. Then in the fall of 1945, we started our journey through High School. Some new members had also come from Mayo and Conetoe to join us. We were very glad to have them join our class. Mrs. Wilma Taylor was our home room teacher and Mr. Latham, our principal. Nothing particularly outstanding took place dur¬ ing the year but we saw ourselves becoming ac¬ customed to High School life and beginning to grow up. For our entertainment we had a weiner roast at Shepperd’s Mill Pond where fun was had by ail. Although it had rained the day before and was a little bit muddy, everything turned out well. We enjoyed our first year in High School very much. After a nice summer vacation, we were ready to continue our journey the following September. Mrs. Sally Whitehurst was our home room teacher. The Alpha Theta members took a trip to Williams¬ burg in the spring. Our class was lucky enough to have several members go. Toward the end of the year several of our girls were chosen as wait¬ resses for the Junior-Senior banquet. The most im¬ portant event of the year was the last day of this school year. Our rings had come and what a happy day that was. And so ended our second year in High School. 1947 found us proud Juniors with most of our classmates still with us. There were 36 of us in number. Mrs. Latham was our home room teacher. The highlight of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. We worked hard the whole year for this special occasion and on May 7 the big event happened. It really was a big success and everyone had a wonderful time. Another important occasion was the fact that six of our boys went to Chapel Hill to play in the State Championship game which the boys basketball team won. Another trip was taken during this year—a trip to Washington, D. C. Fifteen Juniors took this trip with the Seniors. On September 6, 1948, we felt that we had finally reached one of our most desired goals, that of being Seniors. Although we lost several of our members, we gained two and there remained 34 of us. Mrs. Shelton was our home room teacher. We now tackled another task—making a year book. We are also looking forward to that great day in May—none other than that of graduation. This brings us up to the present time but before I, as the historian, stop I would like to say that I hope my classmates will succeed in whatever they try to do. We have worked together so well that I hope we will still keep up the good work although most of us will be separated. ANNE WHITEHURST.
