CLASS HISTORY The seniors have at last reached the time when our school history is nearing an end. Our past eleven years have been filled with happiness, joy, fun and sometimes fear, sad- ness, and a few tears. When we entered our other home, Endy School, in 1948, over forty of us didn ' t realize that the next twelve years would pass so fast and end so soon. But here in 1958-1959 we have finally reached our destination. Since most of us distinctly remember entering high school, I shall begin there. Entering the ninth grade, we were happy to see two new faces, Louise Lyall and Larry Troublefield. Later on anew girl from Denton, N. C., Barbara Oakley, also joined us, mak- ing a total of thirty. Our homeroom teacher was Mr. Kenneth Brown, or Coach as most of us called him. Since it was his first year teaching and our first year in high school, both Mr. Brown and students learned quite a lot about high school life. He discovered our favorite pastime was talking” which is still the thing we are most proficient in. Our class play was Great Smokies in which we thor- oughly enjoyed p ar t i c ip at in g . Our class officers were Gerald Almond, president; Louise Lyall, vice-president; Gail Vanderburg, s e c r e t ar y ; Kay Lambert, treasurer; and Vivian McSwain, reporter. In the tenth grade, after becoming famil- iar with the school customs and curriculum, we took part in more activities and school functions. By this time we had lost three of our students, Kay Lambert, Gail Vanderburg, and Larry Troublefield, and later a fourth, Sylvia Tucker. However, to make up for the loss, we had two new additions, Reginia Wat- kins and Wade Stogner, making a grand total of thirty students. Mrs. Thompson was the girls ' homeroom teacher and Mr. Eller was the boys ' homeroom teacher. For the first time we had the thrill of attending the State Fair at Raleigh, which was something new and exciting to each of us. Many in our class made the team in different sports, those being bas- ketball, baseball, and cheerleading. Our class officers were Wade Stogner, president; Gerald Almond, vice-president; Reginia Watkins, Secretary; Phyllis Hartsell treasurer; and Iris Burleson, reporter. With ten boys and twenty-one girls we entered the eleventh grade under the super- vision of Mrs. C. F. Henkel, a year each of us enjoyed tremendously. We had many projects to make money for our expenses, one being our trip to Washington-New York, which was exciting, fun, amazing, and something we will never forget. We lost Lamar Eudy at the be- ginning of the year, we also later lost Larry Shank, Katherine Lambert Burris, and Reggie Whitley, but others filled the vacant seats, one new and another past Endy student; they were Vernona Huggins Efird and Kay Lambert. This left us withtwenty-nine instead of the previous thirty-two. Officers were Vivian McSwain, president; Sherrill Hahn, vice-president; Kay Lambert, secretary; Nancy Lambert, treasur- er; and Merium Lowder, reporter. In the fall of 1958 twenty- eight students walked into the senior class room, with Mrs. Claud Grigg as the class sponsor. The strang- eness of being called Seniors and the reali- zation that this was our last year almost knocked us off our feet. Regretfully we lost two great assets to our class, Vernona Huggins Efird and Barbara Oakley. We did gain one, Carroll Hudson, who has become a friend to all of us. The feeling of slipping our class - rings on our fingers was a dream come true, knowing that the past eleven years had been worth working for that honor. Soon we were busy working on our annual and soliciting ads to help pay for our annual. This proved to be a project, the result of which we hope to be an outstanding annual. Our class officers this year are Sherrill Hahn, president; Carroll Hudson, vice-president; Brenda Furr, secre- tary; Louise Lyall, treasurer; and Reginia Watkins, reporter. We know that our remain- ing school days will include more excitement, thrills, and work, but our greatest thrill will be graduation. From then on our future will be no longer together as a class, but each will go his or her separate way, hoping someday we shall all meet again and talk of our school days.
