HISTORY OF THE Now that we are about to complete our final year inhigh school, we, the members of the senior class, are indeed proud to glance back and re- cord our past, a record of our outstanding achievements and experiences which we sincerely trust will be an example as well as a guide for the fore-coming classes. It was only four short years ago, the term of 1952-53, our class em- barked on its career with an enrollment of 97 under the supervision of Mrs. M. H. Bacote and Miss L. M. Richardson. Eager and unaware of the obstacles that might confront us, we began to take the first step to- ward success. We elected our officers: William McDonald..................President Betty Samuel.................Vice-President Marion Harrison...................Secretary Hazel Campbell....................Treasurer As we journey along under the skillful guidance of our advisors and instructors, our classmates began showing unusual talents in the various organizations. Catheleen Harrington, William McDonald, Booker T. Jackson and Paul Yates represented us highly on the band. Not only were we represented on the band, but other activities as well. Brodus Guy, Paul Yates, Willie Ellis and William McDonald re- presented us in sports. Marion Harrison, Burnette Williams, Joseph Segars, William McDonald and Stella Bachus brought honor to our class by their outstanding scholastic abilities. When the doors opened in September of 1953 we entered as sopho- mores with the loss of many classmates as a result of consolidation in the school system. In spite of this we continued our journey. We were still represented in the various activities around the campus. A scene which added great attraction came when Hazel Campbell was bestowed the honor of Miss Homecoming. The year of 1954-55 we proudly greeted our classmates as juniors. By now our responsibilities had increased immensely, and we began to work harder. We then began to understand the true meaning of citizen- ship and the real value of preparation. We were still participating in many activities. Again our class won a distinguished honor when Marion Harrison was crowned Miss Homecoming. During this year we spon- sored a very colorful Junior-Senior prom that will long be remembered. We also presented our first play Strictly Formal, a comedy in three acts, which was the talk of the town.
