CLASS HISTORY History has been established this year! How fortunate we are to be graduating the same year that man has made at- tempts to reach the moon. Who knows but what one of our class will be among those to make the first trip to the moon. As we remrnisce years from now over those fun-packed days of high school, which are now history, we could never forget that first day we entered as green Freshmen , scared stiff. Of course we all looked fashionable that day called Freshman Day , remember? How could we forget those male cuties donned so petitely in feminine attire! Our Freshman sponsors, Miss Jackson, Miss Osborne, Mrs. Welch, Mrs. Worley, and Mr. Bates, so ably helped us through that year of confusion. Doyle Claiborne was elected President. The Class Superlatives in the Who's Who Elec- tion were Julia Shaw, Fredina Hart, Ray Cooper, and Doyle Claiborne. As the year came to a close, tragedy struck in the passing of one of our finest classmates, Milton Eddinsi We became more confident our next year, even though we were known as ltsilly Sophomores. Donnie Poole was elected President, and our class Was recognized in the field of sports as Ray Cooper joined the varsity squad. Sydney Sherwood was elected cheerleader, and Frances Patton represented our school as one of the delegates to the S. A. S. C. Convention held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Frances Patton, Fredina Hart, Donnie Poole, and Eugene Franklin were elected Class Superlatives. Both basketball teams were District and Regional Champs. As the year closed we anticipated the coming year when we would be upperclassmen. This was almost too good to be true! This all-important year marked one of our most exciting experiences. Donnie Poole was reaelected as our class Presi- dent. Fredina Hart was chosen from our class as one of the delegates to attend the S. A. S. C. Convention in Arlington, Virginia. Annette Crowell and Betty Davis joined Sydney as cheerleaders. uA Broom for the Bride was the title of our Junior Play produced to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The banquet theme was The Confederate Ball' with delicious food served plantation style. Donnie Poole crowned Diane Smith, Belle of the Ball. Our contribution to sports was something to be proud of. Ray Cooper set a state high school record in the high hurdles at the State Track Meet. Ray, Billy Gregory, and Alton Jenkins were members of the varsity football squad. After a successful football season, basketball was the next goal. The girls and boys were N. I. L. Champs, District Champs, and the boys captured Region honors, While the girls were Runners-up. Dolores Sanders and Fredina Hart were attendants to the homecoming queen. At last! That long awaited moment when we were classified as sophisticated Seniors. What a wonderful feeling. to be on the threshold of a life ahead, but sad to be leaving four wonderful years behind that we cherish in our memories. Doyle Claiborne was elected to pound the gavel. The officers of the Student Body were President, Eugene Franklin; Vice President, Donnie Poole; Secretary, Linda Duke; Treasurer, Doris Apple; Girl Sgt.-ataArms, Betty Davis; Boy Sgt.- at-Arms, Jesse Hill; and Historian, Fredina Hart. Kelley Wright was editor of the Leaves of Hickory , and Frances Patton edited the Crimson Chronicle. The delegates this year to the S.A.S.C. Convention held in Jacksonville, Florida were Eugene Franklin and Linda Duke. Kelley Wright served as President of the Beta Club. Again our class was well-represented in the sports activities. Ray Cooper was captain of the football team and Buddy Martin alternate-captain. Other members of the team were Jimmy Moore, Mike Pryor, T om Bottorff, Alton Jenkins, Ralph Bass, and Billy Gregory. At the close of the season Ray was named on the AA All-City team. Anita Smith and Joyce Bullington were senior homecoming attendants, and Fredina Hart was crowned queen by Ray and Buddy. Janice McAlister, Mary Baggett, Julia Shaw, Anita Smith, and Patsy Clark were members of the Girls basketball team. Janice and Mary served as co-captains. Donnie Poole, Wayne Russ, Kelley Wright, and Jesse Hill, were members of the Boys' team. And now with tear-filled eyes we remember those fun-packed days, some of. elation, others of depression. Graduation day will live in our hearts as this closes the last chapter in this phase of our lives.
