CLASS POEM Farewell, farewell, dear Corinth High The school we love so true. The time has come for us to part And start our life a-new. To teachers kind, we say good-bye. As we iourney on our way, We'lI never forget the helping hand They so gladly gave us day by day. These halls will echo with our laughter And often with our tears. ln every life some rain must fall, Not much these twelve short years. What we are to be, we are now becoming, It's just a motto, but so true. let's try to be useful men and women, And let mistakes be small and few. Farewell, farewell, dear Corinth High, May the good lord bless and keep thee For ever more the same fine school You have been to my friends and me. JEAN DIXON, Class Poet COLORS Blue and White MOTTO What we are to be we are now becoming. FLOWER American Beauty Rose CLASS SONG Dear friends the time has come when we must part, We'll always be together in our hearts. Where we have had our work and had our play, And found our ioys and sorrows everyday. Our teachers gave us all their help and love, And lifted lagging spirits up above. We love, admire them, and we hope they'll stay By Corinth High, Dear Corinth High. Let's pledge each other that we'll take our stand, On what is worthy in our native land, And keep our courage high and honor bright, Keeping our visions always toward the light. Hearing God's message while the echo rings, Its mighty music that our memory brings, Of days gone by and days that always lie Within our hearts, Dear Corinth High! WILLIE MAE JOHNSON, Class Song Writer

HISTORY About twelve years ago a group of excited youngsters entered school for the first time. We had one task to do, open the closed doors of education. Now this same group, the Senior Class of 'Fifty-Five, has another door to open-the door of Life. Our days in grammar school passed by very rapidly, with Christmas parties and picnics being the main highlights. In 1951, we entered high school as green Freshmen. There were many hardships, but with the help of our leaders, Miss Yvonne Waters and Mr. Charles Carroll, we became Sophomores. Mr. Carroll was again one of our guides in our second year of high school. Along with him had Mrs. Garner. With their guidance we trudged along and soon became Juniors, As Juniors we had Mr. and Mrs. Heath to lead us. By this time we were acquiring a few more responsibilities. We enjoyed presenting our class play, Hillbilly Courtship. We entered a magazine Campaign but were defeated by the seniors. Then came the one event to which we had looked forward for so long, the Junior-Senior Banquet. We put on our formals and jour- neyed to Raleigh for a lovely evening at the S 8- W Cafeteria. That was a memorable date for all of us. We finally became Seniors--the distinctive title of which we had been dreaming for eleven long years. With the leadership and guidance ofMrs. Vann and Mrs. Simmons, we packed many happy events into these nine short months. Some of them were: publishing an annual, selecting and receiving our class rings, presenting a class play, selecting invi- tations and calling cards, attending a Junior-Senior Banquet, attending several class parties, sponsoring a barbecue supper, preparing for graduation, and finally making plans for a trip to Washington, marking the end of twelve happy years together. As we go out to take our places in the world, we carry with us many happy memories of our days here at Corinth-Holders High School. We hope to prove ourselves worthy as we add our footprints to the sands of time. .IANIE WILDER, Class Historian

In Memorial On May 29, 1953, death claimed a dear member of our class. To us, this was a great loss, but we rest assured that our loss was God's gain. Yes, he is gone in body, but the sweet memory ol him dwells in each of our hearts. Joe was born on October 15, 1935. He lived a Christian life and was well-liked by everyone who came in contact with him. It is with deepest feeling that we, the Seniors of 1955, present this page of our Corinthian in honor and memory of Joseph Daniel Creech.
