OO prints of Fihty- One The Class of 1951 was officially born on a sunny September morning in 1947 when more than thirty green Freshmen signed up for strange high school subjects, ranging from Latin to General Business. A few weeks later the class was officially recognized after an arduous initiation and Freshman Frolic. The boys came to school dressed as girls—lipstick and other paraphernalia provided by upper- classmen, while the girls spent the day in mas- culine attire. At the Frolic the Freshmen enter- tained the upperclassmen by dressing as chil- dren under two years, by putting on skits, and by serving their masters for the evening. Vernon McFalls was elected president of the class the first semester, and Norma Herbin held that office for the second semester. The first activity of the class was to sponsor a cake sale in the 1947 P.T.A. Hallowe’en Carnival. The business ability of the class was proved early by its first place in carnival projects. In fact, they did so well that the P.T.A. has not needed to hold a carnival since. During the winter of 1947 the Honor Policy reached maturity and the Student Court began its first year. Both Freshmen boys and girls defeated the Sophomores at least once in intra- mural basketball. The Fifty-Ones had some excellent parties and homeroom programs that year and almost had a one-act play for assembly. Because the class could not get an assembly reservation, Belle, in which Carolyn Apple played the lead, was never enjoyed by the student body. Under Dr. Theodore Dalton’s principal- ship, the climax of the year was Hugh Med- ford, Jr.’s election to Citizen of the Month for his work as school photographer. Mr. Herbert E. Vaughan, Jr., formerly of Lee Edwards High School at Asheville, became principal of Curry as this noble class entered its Sophomore year. The students were deeply impressed with Mr. Vaughan’s “fireside chats” in which he informally stated his policies and his aspirations for the school. Curry has since recognized Mr. Vaughan for his honest and fair dealings with both students and faculty. The class had been joined by Mary Lou Bar- ham and Miriam Lewis from Lindley Junior High and Carolyn Turner from Central. The high spot of the Sophomores’ day was the first period Biology class when the entire class was together. The year was highlighted by a yo-yo craze in the fall and Latin and Spanish club meetings in the winter. Saunders Blalock and Billy Price served as presidents of the Spanish Club, and Donald Cone as president of Latin Club. A determined Sopho- more team entered the 1949 Piedmont Basket- ball Tournament. Norma Herbin became the first representative to the Student Court. That spring, following Curry’s most spirited elec- tion, Laura Joyce was elected Secretary-Treas- urer of the Student Body and Saunders Bla- lock became Social Chairman. During Sopho- more year, the Key Club was organized and the Point System was adopted. Mary Ann Stafford was presented the Spanish Award. The 1948-49 Student Council Scrapbook won first place in a statewide competition. (Continued on Page 12)
