Cfarw .Mafory ln the fall of 19418, sixty proud and happy boys and girls entered, for the first time, that new world called high school. We were placed under the guidance of Mrs. Louise Winstead and Miss C'lara liass. VVe had fun deciding what subjects we would take. Finally after we chose our subjects and signed as members of either the F.H.A., the F.F.A., the Student Council, the band or Glce Club. we settled down for a year of study. lVe were divided into groups but when tllat glorious C'Ivristnnas season came around we were brought together for the happiest occasion of the year, A i'hristnias Party , which was held at the Elm City Womans Club. None of us will ever forget that party. By the end of the freslnnan year we had learned that along with our fun we were going to meet some hard work. As we watched the seniors of 19418 graduate, we wondered if we would ever walk across the stage wearing those caps and gowns and hear our names read out clearly and distinctly. VVe moved up to our sophomore year with a class of only forty-three. VVe were again placed un- der the direction of Mrs. W'instead and Miss Bass as our home room teachers. This was mostly a year of studying, for we did not wish to see a larger drop in the number of our junior class the com- ing year. The highlight of our sophomore year was our trip to the Planetarium in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. VVe had a grand time. VVhen we moved on to the junior class, we were placed under the guidance of Miss Edith Lewis and Miss Clara Bass. Vtve chose as our junior class president, Nancy Winstead. We had fun being initiated into the Beta Club and learning what the club was all about. VVe were very proud to publish our first school paper this year. We worked hard to keep the concession stand in the gym- nasium open. Vi-'e had to raise money for our junior-senior banquet and prom. We decided to hold the banquet and prom in our new school lunch 1'oom. You should have seen that fairy land which seemed to have been taken off a fellows valentine to his best girl. We turned that lunch room into a land of red and white hearts and streamers. How can any of us cver forget that wonderful night of February 9, 1951! It was cold and snowing but we didn't mind. Our fun was so great that the eold and snow blended in perfectly. VVe felt that our junior-senior banquet and prom were the best of all banquets and proms. Soon after this grand event we started making preparations for the part the juniors would have in the graduation exercises. The marshals were Joan VViggs, Chief. l,u- cille Barnes, Joyce Farmer, Uelphia Skinner, .lean Beaman, and Nancy VVinstead. VVe were proud that night when we stood in line holding our lighted candles as light for our departing seniors. iVe knew now that we were the new seniors. VVe had at last reached that long-awaited-for year of our high school career. 1 Again. in the fall of 1951, with a class of thirty-eight seniors and two post graduates we started to school with a feeling different from any we had known before. We knew that this would be our last year. It was hard to work with the thoughts of the future crowding in our minds. Tlms many of us found that we were on the borderline in just a short time. We finally, however. got down to work. Joan VViggs was chosen as our class president. Mrs. V. B. Skinner was our home room teacher. lVe faced the job of publishing our annual, the Bear Trap. We knew this would be hard work. but we never doubted our ability to do the job well. By the time you read this history we will have com- pleted our year book, presented our senior play, which we look forward to doing with pleasure. taken our eargerly awaited trip to Washington, D. C., and attended our last junior-senior banquet and prom. At last that long awaited moment-graduation has arrived. We will never forget our high school years, and as we go out into the world, we feel assured of success in whatever field we Inav:- chosen because of the wonderful help and guidance of our understanding faculty. Leaving we carry with us, locked in our memories, the millions of recollections of our high school days. Historian, DELPHIA SKIN NER
