Clc.1ss I iidi will Let us review the memories of that energetic and loyal class of Seniors, whose high school career began in September of 1946. After having had the commencement the last year we were in grammar school, and graduating from that chapter of our lives, we were ready for high school. Although in the eighth grade we were allowed to change classes and had about the same privileges, we did not experience the same feeling as we did this long-to-be-remembered-day. We were the first class to enter high school under the law of twelve grades before graduating. Our high school career was started under the direction of Mrs. Selby Yel- verton, Mr. J. W. King, Mrs. Bessye B. Bradshaw, Mrs. James Wethington, and Mrs. Josephine Key. During this year we went to Raleigh, and spent the day visiting the historical sites and other places of interest. Many of the boys and girls took an active part in athletics. We were very proud that the Fresh- men were represented in sports this first year. We were grieved that Edna Edmundson left us at this time, but happy to welcome Dorothy Howell. We a- dopted Tell Me Why as our class song. The tenth year proved to be one of the hardest. Mrs. Martin, our home room teacher, was very helpful and considerate. In this second year of high school, Eureka won the basketball tournarnent-boys and girls. We entertained the Seniors in the way of a hay ride. Sentimental Journey was a popular song with us this year. Juniors at last! This wonderful year meant a great deal to all. The year was begun by the picking of cotton and selling magazines in order that we might entertain the Seniors at a banquet. The Junior play Bolts and Nuts, was pre- sented. Everyone will remember the entertaining characters in this play. Long will we remember April 8: the Junior-Senior, night club style, which closed with music and dancing, at the Hotel Cherry, in Wilson. It was in this year that we toured Washington, visiting the many places of interest. Taking a part in the commencement exercises made the departing of our Senior friends more grievous for us, however vacating a place which had long been expected. Seniors! The long awaited day became a reality. After much crying, and crowing, and scheming, the Senior play, The Daffy Dills, was a big success. We now felt triumphant over many headaches and adverse conditions. The days immediately following found us busily occupied, working on the EU-RE-HI-KE DAZE. It proved to be real genuine work. However, working on the annual was much fun. We feel greatly indebted to Mr. Talton W. Jones, our new Principal and boys coachg to Mrs. Sam J. Martin, our Senior Adviser, to Mrs. Bessye B. Bradshaw, our Junior Adviserg to Mr. John Tart, the new Agriculture teacher, to Mrs. James Perkins, the Home Economics teacher and girls' coachg and to Mr. Elmer R. Loftin, Social Science teacher. As graduation beckons and we enter into the portals of the mysterious un- known, we would like to borrow the words of the great master of drama, Shake- Speare, Parting is such sweet sorrow. Nancy L.
