DORIS MCCRAW HISTORY of the CLASS of '50 In the fall of the year of 1945, there assembled on the steps of Cowpens High School a large group of young men and women. This group of people was composed of pupils who had finished their grammar school careers in the schools of Cowpens, Clifton, Butler, and White Plains. They were as- sembled at this school because school was begin- ning on this morning and this was a new and differ- ent step in their lives. The door of the school build- ing opened at 8:30 on this memorable morning. All of these beginners poured inside to inspect the new surroundings, but, in months to come, they would know every nook and corner of the building. This group was so large that it took two rooms to accom- modate them. The first day was spent in signing names and selecting subjects for their future study. After all of this work and uproar, they, the freshmen, began to get down to work. As time passed a disturbance between the pupils and teachers began and then some began to get familiar with the paddle. When the commencement was held for the seniors each thought, I wonder if I will ever get to wear a blue cap and gown? They all said, Yes, but one. He said, Will have a long struggle before us. Soon September came and all were sophomores, except for those that failed and they breathed a sigh at the teachers. Soon this year passed with out any disturbances and then the summer vacation went by like the snap of a paw or the bat of an eye. They were then juniors, so they thought until a law was passed stating that twelve grades were required to get a diploma. This hurt the make believe seniors more than it did us-the so called jolly juniors. These juniors and seniors took a trip to Washington at the close of the school year. This was no real school year gone, as they thought, because there was no graduating class. A year later these make believe seniors were allowed to be seniors and the juniors to be juniors. They began to work hard because they now had a little responsibility. They were fast becoming seniors. They had to make enough money to have a banquet for the juniors and seniors. Soon this year was gone and these young men and women stepped up a notch. They were now the proud old seniors. Each found on the first day of this year that there were forty-three seniors. Martha Martin was elected the guide for us through the year. George Jones was elected to assist her in her guidance and Doris Phillips was chosen to take care of all the business and money. As the year went by they had plays and worked hard scraping up money for the senior trip and for leaving the school a gift that would long be remembered. After going through all these exciting events, the senior play, many parties, and a lots of hard work, each was ready for his big day-Commencement. This was the most wonderful moment of their lives. Speeches were made, songs were sung, and diplomas given out. As each one looked back over the long hard work days, he is equally proud of them and is glad to say that this day was worth the struggle. Now as they enter the Road of Life all of them wish to live up to their motto, CIimb, though the rocks be rugged.
