Qfe CLASS .HISTURY AY BACK IN '35 on a sunny September morn almost 125 snaggled toothed six-year-old young- sters with angelic looks on their faces entered the Primary School on Parsonage Street. Slowly our halos began to disappear as we entered the S. L. Sheep School. We spent part of our time in the old S. L. Sheep School but due to the building being condemned we were forced to hold classes in the Primary and High Schools the following years. Proudly we returned to the new S. L. Sheep School building for the latter part of the sixth grade. The next year we had the first taste of journalism in publishing the S. L. Sheep News and we displayed our talents as the leads in the Dixie Land Minstrel. Then we were sad for it was spring and we must leave our new school which we had come to love dearly. After looking forward to happy high school days we were slightly disillusioned, for on our first day we were ruined by the lipstick, shoe polish, and perfume of the Sophomores. The eighth grade wasn't too bad with the help of the understanding Safety Patrol and our discovery that teachers are humans. Alt.hough some considered it an honor that we were to be the first class to have a 12-year course, we were eager to be Freshmen and a real class in E.C.H.S. But to our amaze- ment there was lilttle difference during our Freshman year. We played the role of Juniors our Sophomore year and successfully presented a mystery play. ttDrums of Death and sponsored a magazine drive. Therefore we were able to honor the Seniors with the Sophomore-Senior Dance which was held in the Virginia Dare Hotel Ballroom. Due to the small Senior class, we published The Loudspeaker and The Spotlight the next year. We dramaftized The Little Minister and gave a gay festival, the Junior Carnival. Again the Virginia Dare Ballroom was the scene of much merry-making, our .Junior-Senior. After ll. years of struggle we have finally reached the 12th rung of the ladder of achievement. To this rung we are proud to add the Senior play, Strictly Formal, and the successful pulolica- tion of The Louclspenker and The Spotlight. We realize that what we are today is greatly due to the guiding hands of the faculty and to them we are grateful. 'Behind us are many happy days whose memories will linger on. Before us is a challenge to make the future of the Class of 1947 even more successful than it has been in the past. ANNETTE WARD Jo ANN PINNER Twenty-foru-
