ROSES AND FE RNS We are seekmg a newer world but fond memories of the past are very dear to us Our school days at dear Old Charlotte Hlgh are at a close but the door of knowledge will never be closed There rs a touch of sadness when we think of leaving our schoolmates and frlends but the thrill comes in seekmg newer things When we entered high school rn 1947 we might have been green but Just as happy as could be In the four years we have spent hene we have enjoyed many good activities To bring some of them back to our memories we list FHA and FFA initiation the trip to the Spout Springs even though we had to walk the trip to a Nashville Park remember two girls who were lost the Junior and Senior Banquets the many class meetings going to Nashville to have our pictures made the trrp to Austin Peay and a wonderful Senior Trip to East Tennessee and enJoy our trip to and from school No wonder the food in our lunchroom was delicious we had such wonderful cooks to prepare it First there was Mrs Welker then Mrs Harris and now Mrs Huff Who could help but enjoy our high school days with all the fine teachers around ready to en coinage There was Miss Miller our sponsor ready to help us do anything that would cause us to have a good ume and Mr Bennett was always willing Miss Southerland didn t mind too much when we talked rn bookkeeping class And we shall remember the kindness of all the others Wasn t rt fun to gather around the piano and sing? All of us must admit that Tucker makes a good looking grrl We had lots of fun in our Junior Senior and Beta Plays These are a few of the many things that have cause these four years to be ever unforgettable I would like to wish the Senior Class happiness and success as we seek our newer worlds Katherine Spann OKC Colors Blue and White Flower White Rose Motto To Seek A Newer World Sponsor Miss Eleanora Miller .

And naturally there were those homble rmtratronsl One would thmk we would have some chorce as to the subjects we were to take but what do you thtnk Mr Bennett came m the very frrst day and told us we were requrred to take Englrsh General Scrence and some of us would take math and some algebra Home Ec and Ag Algebra' Was that hard' Instead of learnmg algebra we had to hsten to Mr Bryant s Jokes thatt we had heard hundreds of trmes but we had erther to laugh at them or fall algebra so we laughed We got through that frrst year but I ll never understand how We came back as sophomores hopmg to fmd some of the thoms gone but Instead there were Just a few more added We struggled and became Jumors only to fmd ourselves slaves to the semors We had to grve them a banquet and when commencement exerclses came do all the heavy work but rf you thrnk we got to mrss any classes for rt you re wrong because we drd that at vacant perrods Jlst to be a senrorl We envred the semors when we were junrors but we soon found rt was only harder wrth no senror prrvrleges as we had tmagrned Oh yes I don t want to forget to tell you about our senror trrp Thrs was something we had dreamed of for four long years as the other three years we had had only a half day and spent rt at Spout Sprmg or some other local amusement park Well we got one day one bus to carry 59 semors to Lookout Mountarns We only had to have three drrvers a bus to take us there and another to brmg us back And rt Just took us s1x hours to tour one small place near South Prttsbnrgh Berng a senror 15 not so wonderful and we should know' Why drd we have to study history? And Mrss BCSSIC always took up the entrre perrod tellrng rs about the lesson 111 her lrttle red hrstory book when she went to school but when tests came they weren t from her lrttle red htstory book The school ts so old that we are afrard rt wrll fall down any mmute Every step has a creak When rt snowed the heat was always off and we almost froze but when sprrng came wrth plenty of sunshrne the heat was always on I could go on and on but as I haven t recerved my diploma yet maybe rt would be wrse to stop It has been hard but we are seekrng a newer world and let LB hope rt won t be as drffrcult as these past twelve years have been Jean Gilliam , . . . - . . , 4 . . , . . . . - . .
