Next we presented a Christmas play under the direction of Mrs. Aldena Smith entitled “The Flowering Staff.” The most outstanding event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Yadkin Hotel in Salisbury. We selected “Sayonara” as the theme of this eagerly anticipated event. At the end of this year, all 81 members of our junior class could hardly realize that soon we would be seniors. This year, which seemed so far in the distance when we were freshmen, finally rolled around. After the class organization and a few class meetings, we began our senior activities. Ronald Beaver was elected head of the class. The other officers are Tommy Smith, Vic President; Sharon Clauson, Secretary; and Dickie Shaw, Treasurer. We have a class of 72. Highlights of this most important year have been the Fall Festival, the Senior Play, and many other events. As a whole, our senior year has been cont. on page 25 22 II TOMMY W.

After many embarrassing and unforgetable moments, we soon became accustomed to high school life and work. Every day brought us nearer, and before we knew it, we were no longer in the lowest class. When the school doors were opened in the fall of 1956, we entered as con¬ fident sophomores. This year, out of 106 students, Dickie Shaw was chosen as our president, with Neil Williams as vice president, Judy Gainer as treasurer, and Sharon Dial as secretary. Although this wasn’t a very eventful year, we all were looking forward to the next year when we would be “big” juniors. As juniors we enjoyed a happy and well-filled year Our class officers, who were Jeffrey Ketner, president; Ronald Beaver, vice president; Judy Gainer, secretary; and Don Yost, treasurer; along with our class advisors, Mrs. Thelma Bostian. Mrs. Freida Chambers, and Mrs. Ethel Bostian, helped to make this year a huge success. cont. on page 22 GARY MICHAEL FINK “They are never alone zvho are accompanied by noble thoughts.” BARRY HUDSON I “If I laugh at myself and the fool things I do, it won’t bother me much to see others laugh too.” VICKIE L.
