Cullowhee High School - Rebel Yearbook (Cullowhee, NC)

In our many and varied activities we as a lively class have made some quite outstanding contributions, not so much to world affairs, as to the entertainment and mental collapse of our patents and teachers. At times, I fear, we have been rather irresponsible, and at others we have shown an outstanding amount of maturity and understanding. We began our quest for knowledge in the fall of ‘43, and by the time we entered high school in ‘52 our ideas about the importance of this quest had changed radically. Just when we were about to get the hang of things, they threw at us a few algebraic and chemical equations, French and Spanish idioms and irregular verbs, home economics house plans, and other such brainteasers as Macbeth and Julius Caesar, We, like so many classes, were thrilled and excited by our last year; but as this year draws to a close, we begin to think of the many friends we have made and the pleasant times we have shared. In the short time that we have left as Seniors, we hope to add many more wonderful memories to our already abundant store. Yes, we look back over these school days and ponder them in our hearts. We know without a doubt that our Graduation Day is not an ending, but merely a beginning perhaps for something far better. Cdlan, ExGis Klagk,

Our Poem MEMORIES ARE MADE OF THIS Along the halls of Cullowhee High Our many footsteps have come and gone; Now we wonder with a sigh Why these years have so quickly flown. Oh, why does time so quickly fly? Our memories are so sweet and dear, Of the twelve years that have passed us by So many memories shall linger near. Remember those days of rapturous delight When work and play were daily pleasure; Those days shall always remain a light Among our many pleasant treasures. In our future when things look blue The words of our teachers we will remember; Dear Cullowhee High we will think of you And wish we were with you in September Johnnie Crawford Darrell Millsaps
