Signed, BENNY DAVIS, Lawyer Class History Realizing that the end of our four years of high school has come, we want to pause a moment to recall our fun and studies at China Grove High School. As Freshmen we thought the journey awfully long; but looking back after reaching our goal, it seems to have been very short. Now that the hardships of school have vanished, many pleasant memories will long linger with us. In the fall of 1946, 121 anxious boys and girls gathered at China Grove High to begin the journey, With the help of our sponsors, Miss Eaton, Miss Fowler, Mr. Veitch, and Mr. Cannon, principal, we soon became accustomed to high school and settled down for work. Sidney Kluttz was elected class president. At the end of our first year we found we had only 107 members. When we returned to school in the fall of 1947, we found our number reduced to 88. It was easier to settle down this year as the class was a little more advanced and had a greater determination, for now we were Sophomores. Mr. Carson was school principal, and Mrs. Goodman, Miss Abernathy, and Miss Broadway were class sponsors. David Beaver, president, led the class very successfully with 72 members at the close of school. On entering school the next fall we felt happy and important over the fact that we were Juniors, a class of 72. Richard Teeter returned to school with our class after being away a year due to an accident one evening while hunting. After having been elected president he led the class in numerous activities; the two most imporant were the Fall Festival and the Junior-Senior Banquet. Mrs. Bostian and Miss Turner were class sponsors, and Mr. Carson, principal. After returning to school in 1949, we were fortunate to have as leaders for our busiest year, Carl Patterson, president; Mrs. Corriher, sponsor; and Mrs. Odell, advisor. Charles Carter and L. M. Carter entered our class, thus making a total of 63 Seniors. Leading the social events for the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. A Senior Play was also pre¬ sented under the direction of Miss Abernathy. Then on May 23, 1950, Mr. Carson presented diplomas to 63 Seniors, which ended our happy high school days. Since these thrilling high school days are over, we must move farther into our future which depends largely on the accomplishments made the last four years. The friendships and experiences at China Grove High will cling with us as we seek the higher things in life. JANE ELLER, Class Historian
