Class History As we, the Senior Class of l957, glance back over our past tour years in Ellerbe High School, we recall many happy events which will long be remembered after we graduate. In September, W53, as we entered high school, the doors opened to sixty-eight ambitious and excited students. Miss Catherine Holcomb and Mr. Bedford Page were our homeroom teachers and our class officers were as follows: President, Philip Hogan, Vice-President, Edward Myrick, Secretary and Treasurer, Annie Mae Wilson. ln October we went to the State Fair in Raleigh. We had been looking forward to going, therefore, it was en- joyed by all. Students lost that year were Barbara Jeffries, Mildred Reynolds, Leo Greene, Steve Lowdermilk, Ralph Raines, and Wilbur Mabe. We then entered our sophomore year still ambitious but not nearly so excited. Mr. Bedford Page and Mr. Clyde Swofford were our homeroom teachers, and our class officers were as follows: President, Philip Hogan, Vice-President, Jerry Cloninger, Secretary and Treasurer, Annie Mae Wilson. Early in the year we made plans to attend the Ice Capades in Raleigh, and we went in November. The lce Capades were beautiful, and they were enjoyed by everyone. We lost Edward Myrick, Betty Jean Craven, Rachel Raines, Larry Clark, John DeWitt and Barbara Hill that year. We then entered our Junior year. As homeroom teachers, we had Miss Lu Oventon and Miss Lucia Elliott, and our class officers were as follows: President, Philip Hogan, Vice-President, Johnsie Broome, Secretary, Annie Mae Wilson, Treasurer, lrma Rose Deaton, Reporters, Nancy Faye Wallace and Jerry Cloninger. Early in the year, we began plansfor the Junior-Senior Prom, and it was held on April 20, using the theme Hitch YourWagon To A Star. It turned out to be a great success through our many efforts. On February 3, we presented our play, Honey ln The Hive, and it also was a success. Six of our members qualified for the Beta Club. Classmates lost were Mary Blanche Thompson, Sophie Chappell, Fred Simmons, Tommy Long, and David Scott McRae. Now we come to our Senior year, which we have all looked forward to with much enthusiasm. We have Mr. James A. Williams and Miss Lu Overton for homeroom teachers, and our class officers are as follows: President, Lester Haywood, Vice-President, Eugene Mclntyre, Secretary, Betty McFayden, Treasurer, Jeannette DeWitt. We have many interesting events to which to look forward, the Junior-Senior! Prom, and above all, our trip to Washington. We feel that all these events will turn out wonderfully for all of us. We have lost two students this year, Annie Mae Wilson and Nancy Faye Wallace. We are all looking forward to graduation, and after graduating, l'm sure all the many happy events will long be remembered by each of us. BARBARA ROBBINS, Historian Class Poem MQHQ HDEAR ALMA MATER..
