Class History In the fall of 1940, the history of our class had its beginning. We were soon progressing through the years, cramming our little heads with the knowledge we now find so useful. We owe a great deal to our elemen- tary teachers who, we now know, were the inspiration for our whole edu- cational career. We may forget them, but what they did for us, never. Eight long, but quickly passing years opened unto us the doors of Bonlee High School. We had completed our elementary education. Four years ago we invaded the ranks of Bonlee High School. There were forty-two of us soon preparing ourselves for a more complete edu- cation. We went to the Moorehead Planitarium at Chapel Hilland sawa superb presentation, ‘‘The Easter Story.’’ Quickly this year passed away and we shifted to our second year. To begin our sophomore year there were forty members in our class. This year was marked by a trip down to Fayetteville and Fort Bragg. Our girls made excellent little waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Dur- ing the year we lost twelve students from our class, but we resolved to continue our good work till the finish. In our Junior year we were for the second time sponsored by Mrs. Ina Andrews. Our class officers were Elaine Clapp- president. Lindo Burns- vice president, Joan Ivey- secretary, and Margaret Creason- treasurer. ‘‘Plain Jane,’’ our Junior play, was such a great success that we gave the Seniors a banquet, ‘‘Spring Serenade.’’ We also en- joyed sponsoring the Sauline Players, who presented two entertaining programs. Thus ended our Junior year and we went home for the last time to take a summer vacation, before our last and most climaxing year. Then with excitingly exalted hearts, we began our last year under the expert guidance of Mrs. Dalton Buckner. Rachel Humphries was our president, Lindo Burns- vice president, Elaine Webster- secretary, and Betty Lois Andrews- treasurer. Our literary productions, THE TREASURED LEAVES and the BONLEE GAZETTE, were selected to hang in Bonlee’s Hall of Fame, where they are kept in remembrance of the class of °53. The most delicious treat of the year was the exquisite banquet given us by the Juniors. Thanks again, Juniors! Then our Senior play, which we anticipated so anxiously and so hopefully, was chosen as our masterpiece. Last and most wonderful was our week-long trip to our nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. Our sweetest memories and greatest thrills came from this trip. We can never forget it! But, suddenly we were solemnly marching down the isle- sad, happy, and victorious. Our school days at Bonlee High School were abruptly days of the past. We finished with gladness, parted with sadness, and of dear ole’ Bonlee we were no more. Richard Jessup Class Historian
