C T x ,., J el 1 K 1 l i x y.,- Cflass Poem Our high school days are over, But we should not despair, For now before us opens A future bright and fair. But in our hearts there's sorrow, And in our eyes there are tearsg We know we now must say goodby, To our happy high school years. The Sadness does not linger, The tears are quickly dried, With cheerful hearts we look ahead With joy and with pride. Our love for you, our dear old school Mere words can never tell, So now to you, dear Elon High, We bid a fond farewell. With steps that never falter, With dreams that never die: We'll ever strive to reach our goal, With hope held bravely high. For nothing is won by wishing, Unless we add our might, So in the game of life we seek, For Honor, Truth, and Right. By Grace Lynch

gflI.S'S History On September 7, 1949, fifty-three bewildered and innocent Freshmen began their first year in Elon College High School. Mrs. R. V. Hendren and Miss M. E. Ridge were our home room tea- chers. Class officers in Mrs. Hendren's room were: President, Ronny Sharpe, Vice-President, Ann Kinchg Secretary, Tommy Brammerg Treasurer, Doris Ward. The officers in Miss Ridge's home room were: President, Grace MasseygVice -President, Mel- , Bonnie Mclntyre. During vin ChrisrnongSecretary and Treasurer this year we had several weiner roasts and hay rides at Miss Ridge' s house. Being Sophomores gave us more confidence and assurance. Again, Mrs. Hendren and Miss Ridge were our home room tea- chers. Our class officers in Mrs. Hendren's room were: Presi dent, Peggie Robertsong Vice-President, Lucy Everetteg Secre tary, Nancy Whitesellg Treasurer, Kathryn Pope. The officers i Miss Ridge's room were: President,Melvin ChrismongVice-Presi- de nt , Bonnie Mclntyre, Secretary and Treasurer, Jo Ann Bran- nock. Several parties were held in the Home Economics Depart- ment. I1 Juniors! Under the supervision of Mr. W. H. Struhs, Jr., our home room teacher, we selected our class rings, presented our very successful play, Aaron Slick from Pumpkin Crick g and planned our Junior-Senior Banquet at the Alamance Hotel, with music by Jimmy Perkins and his orchestra. Our class officers were: President, Melvin Chrismong Vic e -P r e sid e nt Edward Powellg Secretary, Nancy Whitesellg Treasurer, Ronny Sharpe. Finally came our last and most important year - Senior! Our home room teacher was Mr. W. E. Lowe,Jr., and our class officers were: President, Ronny Sharpe, Vice-President, Melvin Chrismong Secretary, Lucy Everetteg Treasurer, Margaret Bo- land. We sponsored several dances as well as selling Christmas cards and magazines to raise money for our eagerly awaited trip to Washington. We looked forward to the Junior -Senior Banquet, and, last but not least, Graduation. We have come a long way and have had fun with it all. We're graduating, but I'm sure we won't forget our last four years of school. Although we may never have a place in history books, it will hold its place in the heart of each graduating senior.
