Felix Yarboro, president; Jimmy Chappell, viee-president; Bob Roth treasurer; Twinkle Jackson, secretary. On a rainy September morning in 1951 a group of students entered Elkin High School and as¬ sumed the humble title of Freshmen. In this capacity we were the brunt of jokes (they thought) of the upperclassmen, the victims of scornful stares of sophomores, the attainable idol of the eightli graders, and another group for the faculty to orientate. We can remember the busy shop classes . . . hilarious cooking sprees in Home Ec . . . the exactness of Algebra I . . . the Latin we so dili¬ gently studied . . . English reports . . . the Stu¬ dent Council elections (Charles Edwards de¬ feated J. L. Lowe and Charles Ashby) . . . the Sadie Hawkins party . . . our only class meeting when we elected Joe, Jeane, Lyndon and Twinkle as officers . Our divided attention went to home¬ work, football games, club meetings and teachers. By the end of the year we felt qualified to take the jump into the “middle” year and be¬ come sophomores. Felix, Lyndon, Jeane, and Dick received the nod as officers . . . Eligibility for the Hi-Y was granted to the males . . . the athletic teams were noticeably bolstered by our participants . . .

One of the most distinguished superlative titles plaeed on Seniors is that of the most apt-to-suceeed, tvJneh teas awarded this year to Annie Sue Jackson and Lyndon DeBorde. It takes a eonseientious and diligent student with a willingness to try new ideas, to be a success. Because they have these qualities, we hope they attain their prophecies. Page Ten
