The long hard journey is coming to an end; now we will be seniors. We have finished our year of work as juniors — we sold maga¬ zines; we presented the junior play; and we have built the Junior-Senior — and now we are ready to receive the responsibility and pleasure of being seniors. What will the year ahead bring? We will have to wait and hope that all our plans and dreams will be fulfilled.

Left to right: Mike Carpenter, Tommy Harris, Harold Walters, Jer¬ ry Steele, Sam Newman, Bob Noe, Phillip Hinshaw. 64 We can be proud of our boys’ basketball team, who posted a 24-2 season record — the best in our school’s history; advanced to the District Class AA finals; and won the Yadkin Valley Tournament. Only four points lay between the Elks and a perfect season — a 36-33 loss to Jonesville and in the district playoffs a 48-47 loss to Hildebran. A salute to the 1957-58 boys’ basketball team, the best our school has ever produced. SCHEDULE E. H. S. vs. : Wilkes Central East Wilkes Wilkes Central Mt.
