Class History On September 6, 1944, our class became freshmen in high school. This was one of the best years of our lives not only because we were finally in high school but we made new friends, all coming from Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and White Cross schools, who were to be with us through the best of our years in high school. Helen Jane Wettach was president of the Student Council and we got our first taste of Student Government and had our representatives to the council. Robert Brooks was elected president of our class for the first year. During this year the school cafeteria was reopened to the high school students for the first time since the fire which burned the high school building. The Civil Air Patrol was organized for the first time in Chapel Hill, and although we weren't old enough to join we got much pleasure out of watching the group work. The first annual Proconival was held during our Fresh- man year, and gave us something on the social side to look forward to in our remaining year. A Career Day was held in the school and we were given an opportunity to discuss with others our plans for the future. Mr. Honeycutt was with us for the last time this year and when the school year end- ed we were all left wondering what Mr. Davis, our new superintendent, would be like. On entering school our Sophomore year we met our new superintendent, Mr. C. W. Davis. Many things we1'e changed in the school this year and we all buckled down to real work. Houston Teague was president of the Student Council and our class president was Janet Ellington. Mr. Lawerence E. Pittman organized the Athletic Association to take care of all matters pertaining to athletics. The new skating rink was built behind the Elementary school, and plans were started for the new school build- ing. Under M1'. Davis we had our first mid-term exams and although we thought they were rough it really made it easy on us when time for the finals came. This year for the first time in Chapel Hill, Teen Town day was held. On this -day we had our Mayor and other city officers to take over for an hour in the Town Hall. The first High School Glee Club, since the fire, was organized with Mrs. Jane Ishee as director. Our Junior year began with the election of Mike Hendren as our class president. Smitty Line- berger was president of the Student Council this year, and two members of our class were officers of the council also. The Teen-Age Club was organized in our junior year and many other clubs were add- ed to the few which had already been started. Mrs. Inez Chapman replaced Mrs. Ishee as the Glee Club director and the girls won a number one rating in the district contest and went to Greensboro to the State contest. Our class sponsored two large social functions, the Valentine Ball with the crown- ing of Ester Cheek as queen and the Junior-Senior banquet which was a very successful one. The biggest high-light of the year came when we moved into the new wing of the new building about two months before school was out. We entered our senior year with great anticipation. This year was our last and we tried to do many things for the school and the classes to come. Neal Creighton was president of the Student Council and again two more of our class mates held offices of the council. Robert Brooks was elected president of' our class. We held a big drive to get money to reopen our Recreation Center which had been closed because of the lack of funds on which to run. Mr. Cecil Longest organized the Monogram Club and all persons holding a monogram were allowed to become members. Much of this year was spent making preparations for graduation in the spring.
