Class History As the time is drawing nearer for us to walk across the stage to receive our diplomas, we can hardly realize that our high school days are almost over. Looking back, the memories of our first years in school flood our minds. It seems only yesterday that we were busily leaming, and getting promoted from grade to grade. Almost every year we gained new members or lost old ones, First of all, Monty Harrell came to us o the second grade. Then in the seventh grade Gene Combs, Betty Lou Norman, Gloria Armstrong, and Susie Workman joined our group. In the eighth grade, we happily received Robert Cartwright and Frankie Brickhouse. The eight years in grammar school having slipped by quickly, we found ourselves in high school. During those days as freshmen we were confused and shy, but very proud to be eligible to participate in the high school activities. We were just really beginning to feel at home in high school our sophomore year. Naturally, we had to study harder than ever, but we engaged in and enjoyed extracurricular activities, too. As usual, we, as juniors, had more prestige, and numerous exciting things happened to us. In our junior play, Crazy as a Loon, we developed dramatically and socially, The rehearsals were fun, but the real performance was a huge success! ! : Another event which highlighted our junior year was the day our class rings arrived, Excited, yes, but that wasn't even the word to describe our enthusiasm. Then came the grand finale of our junior year, the Junior-Senior Banquet at Mattamuskeet Lodge. Mr. Ernest Sutton, our junior advisor, helped us over the rough spots and helped us prepare for our special events. Now, after muchstudy and anticipation, we are seniors, Mrs. Madge Van Home, our advisor, was really indispensable as we workedon our yearbook, trying to make it the best yet, and began preparing for our senior play, trip to Washington, D. C., and graduation. As the history of this, the Class of '60, ends, we wish to extend our thanks to all of our friends, parents and teachers who have guided us into the fields of knowledge and have done their best to make each of us a success thus far, JOAN RHODES Historian 13
