cms mm As we take over full command of the senior class, we pause and turn back in our fond memories to the beginning df our high school days. Twenty eight of us began in the ninth grade under the leadership of Mr. Burleson. It was difficult for us to keep our minds on our studies because there were new thrills for us beginners in high s chool . Most of us sang in the glee club under the leadership of Mrs. Bain Jones, and a number of us went to Charlotte to contest, where we receiveda superior rating. Our glee club gave the operetta, Marianne in which several of us participated. In the tenth grade Mrs. Grigg was our home room teacher. We went in facing the fact that we were required to take biology. Mr. Burleson proved to be an excellent biology teacher and made the subject most interesting to us. Again the glee club went to Catawba College and received an excellent rating and later in the spring gave an operetta entitled Sunbonnet Sue. Wehad loads of fun giving this . Our class gave a comedy in chapel called The Pampered Little Darling, which everyone seemed to enjoy. During this year the F.H.A. members went to Raleigh to the State Fair under the supervision of Mrs. Jarvis. In the eleventh grade, we started the year with a working spirit, selling magazines, stationery, and candy in order to meet our expenses for the Junior and Senior trip to Wash- ington. We gave a comedy in chapel entitled All Carrs to the Rescue, under the direction of our home room teacher, Mrs. Hartsell. Our glee club went to Catawba College again to compete in the contest and again received an excellent rating. We gave a spring concert with the entire glee club participating. This was a presentation of what we had learned during the year, with the sextet doing a few of their numbers. At the end of this year we learned that Mrs. Grigg would be back with us in our senior year. This gave us assurance that our senior year would be a grand one. As we took our seats in the senior class room, we felt out of place and for a while it was hardforusto realize we were really seniors. We looked forward to getting our class rings everyday. On receiving the rings we swelled with pride. Soon afterwards we swal- lowed our pride and started selling ads for the annual. Working with this at a steady pace we completed our sales within three weeks and celebrated it with a weiner roast. Later we started working on o u r senior play under the competent direction of Mrs, Grigg. We gave the play Oh, Promise Me! anditproveda success. Our glee club then began work on a program for Christmas. We were arranged in the form of a Christmas tree for our numbers. This program was very effective. Coming back from the Christmas holidays, we found that one of our girls had decided to forsake school for matrimony, but a new girl from Pennsylvania, our first Yankee, had come to take her place. We are looking forward to our Junior -Senior banquet later in the school year and final- ly to the receiving of our diplomas. by Luedith Whitley

cuss POfll LOOKING FORWARD Through trial and tribulation Accompanied by jeers and cheers We come this year to the end Of the glowing, growing years. Sometimes running, sometimes creeping Looking forward to that day When our efforts would be rewarded On that bright commencement day. Let this mark not the ending; Results should come from visions clear. May a Mighty Power this challenge send Perfect our talents and conquer fear. May we encase these teachings in memory And be swayed not by vice nor whim; May our ambitions neither stray nor falter Onward, ever onward, till our goal we win. by Dolan Hinson CUSS COLORS Light Blue And White CUSS mo Forward Ever, Backward Never.

CLASS nmm I must have fallen asleep after I sat down to read my magazine. I had the oddest dream. Judging from the looks of the people and their clothes, I ' m dreaming in the future. Maybe 1965. I saw all my old classmates as well as myself. I was a private secretary, but that ' s not all. There was my own husband, whom I thought I ' d never catch. No, no, honey, that ' s a verb why, that was Katherine Almond teaching school. That ' s what we thought she ' d do and she seemed to like it. I saw a sign over a fabulous dress shoppe which read, Owned and operated by Patsy Burleson. We never knew exactly what she would do. I wandered into the shoppe where I saw Gail Burleson modeling ? Yes, modeling a wedding dress. As 1 caught a glimpse of her ring, I wondered if soon she wouldn ' t be wearing her own wedding dress. Was that a doctor I saw with that young familiar looking nurse ? It certainly was and how happy they looked. I saw Doris Coley off for nursing wishing her the best of luck, and she certainly seemed to have had it. Just sit very still and it won ' t hurt at all. Why, that was Jack Westbrook, D.D.S., comforting little Danny, son of the former Patricia Helms who is now teaching a secretarial course at W. C. Leroy Harleson was a famous artist. He specialized in baseball pictures of his good friend. Junior Hatley. Junior was playing pro-baseball. He was naturally a success as he was at anything he did. Twice weekly the former Misses Luedith Whitley and Sylvia Burleson presented a musical program on television. It was broadcast from Carnegie Hall where Sylvia played the piano and Luedith sang. Helen Furr finally lost her ba shfulness and set out to s t a r t a comedy show. When I saw her, she had put all the other comediennes in New York out of business. Larry Morgan and Billie Burleson owned and supervised a large super market located near Mt. Gilead, for Billie ' s benefit. Of course, it had its points for Larry as well. I saw an enormous building which I learned was The Hinson and Kepley Stockcar Garage. The motto, If you can ' t race it, we will. Dolan and Van had managed to keep their respective necks in one piece for ten years. Dolores Fleming was a private nurse for Stanly County ' s multi-millionaire cattle rancher, Mr. G. H. Swaringen. She certainly reached her ambition. Eugene Parker and Donald Efird had made famous their names playing pro-basketball They were planning a home coming soon and I wanted to contact the entire class so that they could meet them.
