Glass History In everyone's life and especially now in the life ofeach senior, there are times when decisions must be made and certain bridges crossed as we design our individual ways of life. In the last twelve years of our lives, we have been making decisions and crossing bridges everyday as we set the pattern of our future. Why, I remember -------- when we first en- tered Junior High School. We were the first class to enter the seventh grade in the new high school building. That same year our p r i ncip al, Mr. Gerald James, began his career in Edenton. We really had a busy year, and our sponsors, Mrs. Alice Belch and Mrs. Mar g a r e t DuLaney, had their hands full. Then came the eighth grade. That year our sponsors were Mr. Alton Brooks and Mrs. Mar- garet Jenkins. Perhaps our fondest memory of that year is the wonderful trip our history class and teacher, Mrs. Alice Belch, made to the state capital. What a time' the sponsors had trying to match our vitality on that trip! When we e nte r e d the ninth grade, we were one of the gang. By that time we knew almost everyone in school, and you can bet they knew us, too! The boys went out for that great American sport ---- football. Yes, we had several boys on the team that went all the way to the Class A State Championship, the first that the school had won since 1934. It was a wonderful year. Upon entering the tenth grade, we realized that we had crossed the bridge of half our high school days. But we still had many happy days ahead. We were a part of almost every club and sports activity in school. With the help of our sponsors, Miss Nunalee and Mr. Gelbach, we had a grand and memorable year, complete with being regional champions in the Class A State football games. The eleventh grade was a big step for us. This was a year of big plans, much hard work, and a lot of fun. As soon as possible we began the thrilling task of ordering our much awaited class rings. In addition, we had many members of the class on the football team which went all the way to the State Championship for the second time in three years. Quite a few of our members were cheerleaders or very able majorettes and band members. Of course, the biggest thrill of all that year was putting on the be st Junior-Senior Prom ever pre sente d to a Senior Class. Our theme was Bi-igadoon. We will look back and recall many happy moments working on the prom and all the e xpe r i enc e s we had putting on the many, many shades of paint used to complete the scenery. But when the big night arrived, it was well w orth the while. To top it off, that year from our class, sponsored by Mr. George Gelbach and Miss Jane Frieze, nine students we re honored by being chosen mar shals at the graduation exercise. It was ayear we will long remember. Finally, the twelfth grade! After eleven years of work and play, we had at last reached our goal. We began at once to work on our year- book, aided by our sponsors, Miss Ann Mayo and Mr. N. J. George. The Edentonian was a lot of work, but we had a marvelous time preparing it. Many of the Seniors were active during the year on the staff of The Spotlight, our school paper. Our c l a s swas one thatwas very active in extra- :urricular activitie s . Once again our football team, with many Seniors aboard, won the State Championship for the third time in four years. In October, both learning and having fun, we attended the State Fair in Raleigh. It is hard to say which part of the trip was enjoyed best, forthe entire day'was one of the most memorable ones of the year. The maj orette s , composed mainly of Seniors, came in second ina state-wide twirling contest held at the State Fair. We also gave the traditional Senior Play. Ours was en- titled Strictly F orm al and was a bang-up success, to say the least. Then of course, class night and graduation. And before we knew it, we had finished our work and realized our dreams. Our plans had been carried out and now we are left with only memories of our high school days. My, what wonderful things I can recall about our twelve years in school, but especially about our last four. We will carry the experiences we have had, and the memories of our school life and of our friends with us all the rest of our lives to guide us in making our many decisions we will face. We have crossed the bridge on part of our education, but we have not yet learned enough. We will continue to search for, and find, greater knowledge in the fields we pursue--whether it be in schools of higher learning or in our many everyday affairs. De anna Hollowell Historian
