CUb H toy ™ J? f, eptem , 1938 - a g rou P of eager, happy children started working toward a goal that we would reach twelve years later. Checking back, we find that there are still twelve of us who started off together in the first grade. We were very thrilled. I remember Miss Exum (Mrs. Larry James) had a hard time keeping us reasonably quiet. Miss Galloway (Mrs. Burroughs) was our second grade teacher. We had a very large H S L ln ™ g ra de-sixty-one students. Miss Elliot, Miss Mayo (Mrs. Bill Andrews), M . 1 . SS Gilmore were our third, fourth, and fifth grade teachers, respectively. We appre¬ ciate the patient effort they put forth to prepare us with the basic training we needed to further our education Our sixth grade teacher was Miss Bass (Mrs. Ronald Riddick). She was very good to us. When we became seventh-graders, we thought we were grown, probably because vpt ln building - Gradually, however, we found that we had much to learn y • rs - w - T Whitehurst was our seventh-grade teacher and we wouldn ' t have asked for a better one, had we had that privilege. Miss McClees (Mrs. R. A. Foreman) was our eighth- grade teacher--and a fine one too. One valuable lesson she taught us that wasn ' t in the text book was: We don’t get anything that we don ' t work for. We were glad to have Cecil Simmons ecome a member of our class, during the year. One of our most pleasant memories of this year is the trip to Raleigh, where we visited the State museum, capitol, State penitentiary radio station, etc. We ate beside a lovely lake and had fun casting pebbles across the water. Mary Ella Moore and Betty Faye Harrell joined our class during our Freshmen year. Margaret Manning was our president. When we became sophomores we bought our class rings, addition to our class this year. Thelma Grant was a cheerful Edward Brown was our president in the tenth and eleventh grades. We had a big re¬ sponsibility, as Juniors--giving the seniors a banquet. We immediately began selling Christmas Cards, T-shirts, and stationery. We were very successful, having some money left after the banquet. This money was put into our Senior Class treasury. We want to express our thanks to our thoughtful grademothers. They gave us parties all through elementary school. Since we ' ve been in high school, we have had wienie roasts. Seniors! At last. And again this year our problem is earning money. We served a chicken supper in November which provided work, profit, and fun for us. We really do appreciate the help and support our friends have given us in all we ' ve attempted to do. The new school paper, Bee Hive, which is printed, is a step forward, we think. Let ' s continue to improve. May we extend a most hearty Thanks to our high school teachers. They deserve much of the credit for any success that we have had. Our Senior Class officers are: President-Edgar Barnhill, Vice-President--Frank Hemingway, Secretary--Helen Griffin, Treasurer—Peggy Batchelor, class Representatives— Edward Brown, Elsie Whitehurst. Several of the members of our class participated in the plays, Uncle Bob’s Bride , The Valiant , and The Fantasy which were, we think, very good, Juniors. We are looking forward to the Banquet that the eleventh grade is planning for us. We realize that most of our life at Bethel High has passed but we are still looking forward to the greatest moment of all-graduation. Before I finish, fellow-classmates, may I say—God Bless You All.
