YI our lNNi Hun The Junior Class Presented this pageant of music, drama, and dance in the Enfield School Auditorium on November 11, 1948. The pageant was the work of Mrs. Bellamy's history classes, and was directed by her. About one hundred characters were used, including the dances and the choir. The entire town cooperated in the production. Some costumes were rented while others we re made by the mothers and high school girls. Much research was done in order that the characters might appear au- thentic. Since this play depicted life in the Enfield of colonial days, much history was taught bythis project, and there was interest, for the pupils will long remember it. The audience was the largest ever to attendaplay, the reason being that it was about their town, community, and was pro- duced and acted by their boys and girls.

J In the fall of '45 we entered the Freshman Class of Enfield High with thirty-eight members on roll. At first we wandered around like lost sheep, but it wasn't long before we began to fit with ease into freshman life. At first we had Miss Nina Whitaker as our home room teacher, but later in the year Mrs. James Gray took her place. Eddie Hickman was our presi- dent. About the middle of the year we took a most educational trip to Raleigh. The next year we were known as Sophomores. This year several veter- ans joined our class. We had as our home room teacher Miss Lucy Har- r'ington,and Eddie Hickman was again our class president. When we finally became Juniors, our first thoughts were of the Junior- Senior Banquet and Dance for the Seniors. We faced the same problem that all Juniors face - that of raising money. Immediately we set out to achieve our goal. At the fair we had a booth, which proved worthwhile of our time and effort spent there. We also sponsored picture shows, con- tests, and sold drinks and peanuts to raise our needed funds. On April 16th we gave the Junior Senior Banquet and Dance and were happy over the success of this affair. We were proud to have Mrs. Eli Bellamy for our home room teacher and Jane Atkinson as our president to help uswith all the problems that confronted us during the year. Now, with twenty-eight members in our class, we have finally become 'Dignified Seniors . This year we have already given the Senior play, 'Beads on a String , and completed the third edition of the En-Hi-An. We owe many thanks to Miss Dorothy Marks, our home room teacher, for our accomplishments of this year. Jane Atkinson had the honor of again serv- ing as class president. Soon our days in Enfield High will be behind us, but with us we will take all the memories of the days gone-by. Rosa Hearne, Historian. 30
