CLASS HISTORY The year 1957-58 was a beginning for us. We were Freshmen starting the long hike to the top. As we look back now it wasn't such a long hike after all. It seems as if the years have flown by. There were eighty-six of us then. Our class officers were Twylah Smith, Gail Ward, Gwen Bryant, Samuel Casey, and Annette Powers. As Sophomores we were well broken-in when it came to high school life. Our number decreased to sixty-nine. Our class officers were Susan Kessler, Louis Leimone, Louis Sawyer, Needham Hall, and Frank Futch. Our Junior year brought us even closer to our goal—graduation. Our class officers were Kay Whisnant, Samuel Casey, Ruth Lewis, Bob Lewis, and Kent Carter. Although there were only fifty- five of us, we were well represented in the sports review. Eugene Jordan, Bert Yates, Joel Barden, Ardrey Murray, Needham Hall, Donald Wells, Samuel Casey, Bob Lewis, and Kent Carter were on the football team. Frank Futch, Bob Lewis, Louis Leimone, Joel Barden, Ardrey Murray, Susan Kessler, Sherria Herring, Kay Bowen, Faith Murray, Beveret Saunders, and Frances Wells participated in the basketball games. Our cheerleaders were Annette Powers, Pat Davis, Kay Bowen, Phoebe Lanier, and Ruth Lewis. Most of us worked hard to make the Junior-Senior a success. The theme was A Southern Plantation. Now as Seniors of '61 we are reaching our climax—graduation. The first excitement of our Senior year was receiving our class rings. Again we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior, but this time we'll let the Juniors do all the work. There are fifty-four of us now. Our class officers are Samuel Casey, Bob Lewis, Eugene Jordan, Louis Sawyer, and Susan Kessler. We have been well represented in sports in the past, and this year is no exception. Now our thoughts are reaching out to grasp higher and better ideals. These four years have been unforgettable. We shall always remember our Alma Mater, and years from now we shall look back with thanks in our hearts. Now our present goal is to hear the familiar strains of Pomp and Cir- cumstance . This year it will be played for us — the Senior class of 1961 .... Karen Wooten Faith Murray 23
