SEVENTH GRADE Loreene Parsons, also a member of our graduating class, joined us in the seventh grade. That year Miss Mary MacQueen, the music teacher, was our homeroom teacher. We had a different teacher for every class, making it seem as if we were in high school. The class roll didn ' t increase or decrease any this year. CLASS OF 1953 Our most important study for the year 1947-48 was in our history class. We studied the thirteen original colonies and made attractive booklets on them. As the year pro- gressed, we studied all the presidents of the United States and made a booklet in which we gave a brief sketch of the life of each. We enjoyed working on these and now have a fair idea of what each contributed to our great nation. We made a trip to Greensboro on December 5th, to see the Freedom Train, after which we spread our picnic lunch at Guilford Battle Ground. We also made a trip to Raleigh on May 6th, and visited the Capitol, the Mu- seum, the Hall of History, the Art Building, and other points of interest. Albebt Deaton, Jr. F. F.

EIGHTH GRADE Mrs. Robert Tomlinson was our teacher in the eighth grade. That was our final year before entering High School. One of our proudest achievements that year was the presentation of a play entitled School ' s Out At Tater Hollow. We were introduced to our first algebra and science and the girls were allowed to take Home Economics while the boys had the opportunity of taking Agriculture. Our class roll dropped to 28 this year. CLASS OF 1952— Mrs. James Burt, Teacher The eighth grade has been doing many interesting things this past school term. We went to Greensboro to see the Freedom Train. It was very interesting after we got in it, but we had to stand in line for about half a day. We also visited the museum and Guilford Battle Ground. A midget basketball team was organized and several peo- ple from our room were on the team. We played Troy, Mt. Gilead, Candor, Raeford, and Star. We gave all of them keen competition and also gained valuable experi- ence. In January we had our chapel program, a play, The Death of a Patriot, in which all players were in costume. We also presented our play to the P. T. A. Bobby Williams, of our class, won third place in the art contest, sponsored by the Woman ' s Club, this year. Waymond Travis Coker Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4.
