MARTHA TAYLOR BRENDA GAYE THOMAS “Grace zvas in her steps, heaven “Beauty and wisdom are rarely in her eyes. In every gesture conjoined. ' ' dignity and love.” cont. from page 22 the most significant one in our journey through high school, for it was filled to the brim with happy and gay events. Early in the year, we chose the cherry blossom as our class flower and red and white as our class colors. So, here we stand—our faults confessed, our triumphs emphasized, and our eyes on the glory of graduation. It is unfortunate for us that some of our happiest days of school life have passed. Soon we must begin life’s work and arduous tasks. Training at China Grove High School has helped us tremendously and taught us many fine things that we shall always cherish. In the future, as in the past, may we be true to the ideals of this school and remember our motto, “Not merely to exist, but to amount to something in life.” Loretta Deal Historian JERRY R. UPRIGHT “Opportunity may knock, hut temptation more often rings the bell.” KENNETH V. VANDERFORD Quiet, but a friend to all.” ROBERT EARL WAGONER “Where there’s life, there’s Earl. REBECCA ANN WASHAM “What she did zvas done zoith so much ease.” STEVE WHICKER i “.ls dependable as the pendelum of a zee!I rounded clock.” BEVERLEY JEAN WILLIAMS “Beauty and virtue shines for¬ ever around thee, brightening everyone.” DONALD SHERMAN WILSON “Nothing astonishes men so much as common sense and plain dealing. DON RAY YOST “All great men are dead, and 1 don’t feel so well myself.” 25
