Class History On a clear September night in 1941, eleven little youngsters of the present Senior Class cuddled up in their mothers ' laps, pleading with all their hearts and mumbling the following words: Backward, turn backward, O time in your flight. Make me a baby for always tonight. The nine months of the first year of school flew quickly by, but how well we remember that train ride from Bethel to Conetoe which Miss Jane Copeland arranged for us. Miss Mary Ferebee, our second grade teacher, continued to introduce us to the educational field of knowledge. Mrs. Rosalie Francis, wanting to make us the domestic type, took us into the school lunchroom to make cocoa. After the first few days in the fourth grade, we were very sorry to learn that Miss Mary Mayo, our teacher, was unable to render her service to us because of her mother ' s death; but, fortunately, Miss Camille Staton put forth her effort to prepare us with the basic training we needed to further our education. Journeying through the fifth and sixth grades, Mrs. Lillie Hammond and Miss Mary Lois Staton respectively enriched our lives to the extent that we considered ourselves efficient little beavers. The high spot of our seventh year was the tour of the city of Raleigh accompanied by our teacher, Mrs. Connie Whitehurst. That concluded our stay at the elementary school. With outstretched arms we welcomed the four students from Mayo and together we were introduced to the high school rules and regulations. Along with Mrs. Jane Highsmith, we planned our trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. Triumphantly, we walked side by side to receive those well deserved diplomas from grammar school into high school. I ' m a freshman, beamed on each individual face as Mr. Alton Gray acted as our homeroom teacher. We were proud ones, for in the tenth grade we were entitled to use our own discretion in choosing our class rings. Miss Nora Lee Hinnant helped us plan our class party to Whichards ' Beach that year. Also, we added three new members to our class. During our Junior year, we were honored with many parties, but the most important thing to us was making money for our Junior-Senior Banquet. Our Junior-Senior Supper went over in a big way and with the help of selling Christmas cards and producing a Junior-Senior Play, we were able to give a very nice banquet. By Christmas, we were really proud Juniors, for we were wearing our class rings. Our trip to Washington, D. C., added a special remembrance to that year. Seniors at last! Looking back to those who helped us attain our goal in high school we wish to recognize: Mrs. Lamm, Mr. and Mrs. Dewar, Mr. and Mrs. Latham, Miss Perry, Mrs. Mayo, Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Hart and Mrs. Weeks. Glancing around the familiar walls of Bethel High, we find our hearts growing sad and our memories turning back to the carefree school days we once knew. The annual has been our chief undertaking during the year. We have done our best to make it a credit-not only to ourselves——but to the school. So, fellow classmates, remember our motto, Not to the top but climbing, and may God bless us all as we become the men and women of tomorrow. — Class Historian Arlene Manning
