lass istor The Senior Class of 1961 began making its history in the fall of 1948. In the elementary grades lasting friendships were launched and the roots of knowledge began to spread. High school days began in the fall of 1957 with an enrollment of sixty -six proud freshmen. Many have dropped out for various reasons leaving us with forty-eight. For the first few days we ran around like wild chickens, but after hearing Mr. Walker's shouts, we finally learned when and where to go. We'd always thought we had several promising basketball players in our class, and were pleased when Mr. Coats placed Linda Pleasant, Pat Byrd, Sylvia johnson, Opal Sorrell, Brenda McGee, Jerry Moore, Mac jones, Charles Stephenson, Randy johnson, james Coats, and jerry Pollard on the team. N Much more familiar with the high school rout-ine, we began our sophomore year. There was little activity for us that year. ' When we returned as juniors in the fall of 1959, we thought we were the most important people in the world. At the beginning we were able to see that this year held much excitement for us. Our biggest task was to secure money to sponsor our Prom. Our Junior-Senior Prom will long be remembered by those who attended. We were delighted to have the first live band to play at a Prom in our school. Under the direction of Mrs. Boyette and Mrs. Gulley, our homeroom teachers, we had quite a thrill in presenting our junior Play, Quit Your Kidding. That year our marshals were: Patsy Stephenson, chief, jimmy Pierce, Barbara Trader, Linda Phillips, and Judy Gardner. Distinquishing themselves by receiving awards were: Patsy Stephenson, history medal, jimmy Pierce, World Peace medal, Patricia Byrd, Home Economics medal, and Gene Stephenson, electrician award. The years of fun and excitement were over, and at last the big day arrived. We were Seniors! As Seniors we now inherited from preceding Seniors the headache of financing our trip to Washington. With our magazine campaign, our annual, and the Senior Play we pulled through. Our high school days are almost behind us now. Mingled with the joys and laughter, there have been moments of hard work and tears of utter frustration, but it has all been so worth while. We feel that no other class has had such a memorable history. LINDA MAC JONES Historians CLASS MOTTO: Success is the result of determination. CLASS COLORS: Red and White CLASS FLOWER: Red Rose l
