At last! We have become Seniors and soon we will no longer be a part of the school, but scattered about over the world with only the memories of the experiences we have had as a class for the past twelve years, Let's look back over some of the most interesting ones we have had. Forty-five P1'0l1d, but happy, youngsters started the first grade with Miss Mary Hogan as teacher. A few blunders and mistakes along with a few things we learned and we were ready for the second grade when the school year was over. A short vacation and then we were in the second grade learning less than Miss Beane wanted us to but, anyway, enough so that we were ready for the third grade at the end of the year, The third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades passed quickly as we continued to add to our knowledge with Miss Gordon, Mrs, Green, Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Wilson teaching us respect- ively, The seventh year, we moved to the basement where Mrs. Brookbank was our teacher. We got a little taste of what high school would be like when we entered the eight grade because we had the same teachers as the high school and changed classes as they did. Mr. C, A, Cox was our home room teacher. Finally the big day came and we were Freshmen, at last. There were thirty-three of us in all with Mr. L, G, Barker as our home room teacher. Many of us participated in athletics and several were members of the various clubs at school. Barbara Bray, Faye Cheek, Doris Gardner and Stella Garner were elected to be the waitresses at the Junior- Senior Banquet thus bringing the first high school year to a close. Then we were Sophomores. Thirty-two industrious looking students greeted Mrs, Bar- ker that year and showed that they were ready for business by electing officers. Martha Wright was elected president and Hilda Coble, vice -president. We went to Chapel Hill on a chartered bus to see a Christmas play presented at the Morehead Planetarium. Soon it was banquet time again and our girls were given the honor of being the waitresses again. They were Barbara Bray, Hilda Coble, Faye Cheek, Ava Lois Cox, Doris Gardner and Genie Green. A welcomed vacation passed quickly and we were ready for school again with only nine- teen students returning. The Seniors had to share their room with us but Mrs. Hodgin was glad to have both grades as her home room classes, We started the year by electing class officers. Ray Cox was elected presidentg Helen Wright, vice-president, Ava Lois Cox, secretary and Barbara Bray, treasurer. This year, after much anticipation and waiting, our class rings were ordered and had come. We were all happy and well pleased with them. Doris Gardner, Helen Wright, Martha Wright and I were taken into the Beta Club the first semester with Barbara Bray, Ava Lois Cox and Terry Moffitt coming in at the beginning of the second semester. Our ciass had the privilege of taking another trip, this time to Raleigh where we visited the museum, capitol, governor's mansion and an ice show at the Reynolds Coliseum on State College Campus. Four of us Beta students went to the annual Beta Club Convention held that year in Asheville. Banquet time came again but this time we had the honor,of giving the Seniors, we think, a well-planned banquet. Ray Cox was toastrnaster, Martha Wright gave a toast to the Seniors and Ava Lois Cox gave a toast to the faculty and school board. The Seniors returned the favor and we ended the school year by attending a party at Sizemore Lake in Liberty sponsored by the Senior Class. Fourteen loyal Seniors returned to the halls of learning with a great deal of anticipa- tion for the year 1951-52, The highlight of the year has been that at last our class has been granted the privilege of sponsoring an annual. Although we have just entered on the thres- hold of the year, we can see a great year ahead and the final chapter of the history of our high school career will be found recorded in the pages of The Magnolia 1951-1952.
