Class History We, the graduating class of 195 3, made what v e thought was the greatest step of our lives when we entered high school in September 1949 with a class of thirty. We were looking forward to our last four years of school, as being the best, with Mr. Waldrep as our principal. Our teachers were; Mrs. Jones, Mr. Short, Miss Claiborne, and Mrs. Weisiger. That year Mrs. Weisiger took us on a tour of Richmond. Mrs. Jones took us on a trip to the radio station in South Boston and to Robbins Mill in Clarksville, At the end of the year Mrs. Jones gave a party for the five students who got on the honor roll that year. The lucky ones were; Beth Kindley, Geneva Rogers, Mason Hutcheson, Hubert Tolies on, and Floyd Carter. In June we were all ready for a long vacation because we had worked, Oh, so hard. We entered our Sophomore year with a class of twenty. We had Mr. Glass- cock and Mrs. Gregory as our new teachers, taking the places of Mr. Short and Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Weisiger took us on a tour of Williamsburg and Jamestown, Virginia. At Christmas we had our very nicest party yet at the American Legion Hall. Knowing that we had to take the Seniors on a trip the next year, we started raising money. We had a sweet sale and rummage sale from which we gathered a very neat sum. How could we wait for September when we would be Juniors. We entered our Junior year in September, 1951, with a class of twenty one, with Mrs. Scott and Mr. Crowder taking the places of Mrs. Gregory and and Mr. Glasscock. That year we had to work hard to raise money for the Junior-Senior trip. We sponsored the third annual Mecklenburg County Beauty Contest in December. Many girls participated in this, but our own Betty Cantrell came out as the winner. That year we were overjoyed by receiving our class rings in February. On April 24, 1952, the Juniors and Seniors left for a four day tour to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with Mr. and Mrs. Ward and Mr. Waldrep as our chaperones. Except for the constant downpour of rain, the trip was most enjoyable and educational for all. In May the Seniors, in return gave us a Junior -Senior Prom at the American Legion Hall. Our year was climaxed when the Seniors allowed us to walk in a Candle Light Service and present them with Daisy Chain. In June we ended our Junior year with high hopes for our coming Senior history in the making. At last September, 1952, came and we entered our Senior year with a class of nineteen. We have Mr. Butt replacing Mr. Waldrep as our principal; Mrs. Crews taking the place of Mrs. Scott and one extra teacher Mrs. Sutton, who teaches music and other high school subjects. This is to be our most eventful year, as our high school education will come to an end in June and we certainly have high hopes for the future. We are hoping for a successful Senior play and a Junior-Senior Prom in the spring, and graduation for all. With these passing highlights, we discontinue the history of the class of 53 .
