CLASS HISTORY For seven years, we had looked forward to our first year at Flat Rock High School. At last we were there. It was a happy and exciting experi- ence, meeting our new teachers and the girls and boys from the other grammar schools. Under our very capable home room teachers, we were offered a helpful guidance in preparation for our High School work. Entering High School meant more than just an- other grade in school. It meant working out schedules, deciding on subjects, and learning to be in class on time. On the whole this was a very important year in our High School life. We progressed rapidly, each year receiving more privileges which added greatly to the enjoyment of our school work. In the eleventh grade we be- gan to realize that our school days were passing much too rapidly. We had learned much by then that had not been taught in our daily subjects, such as the meaning of friendship. Down through the years we have doubly enjoyed the activities of our school. As Juniors, it was our privilege to entertain the Seniors at the Junior-Senior banquet. The theme, “An Old Colonial Plantation,” was beautifully carried out. This year on November 2, we journeyed to Bob . Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, to see the Shakespearian play, “The Tempest.” April of ‘51—a very special honor to us as Seniors and another banquet added to our memories. This time we were the ones being honored. Spontaneous excitement filled the air when we learned that there was to be a senior play. Every- one wanted a part but there were only a few characters so many of us were turned down. Mrs. Sinclair was always patient with us even when we cut up. Then came the momentous month of May. It is a feeling of importance, insignificance, and ac- complishment just begun. There are so many last little things to do and so little time to do it. We hardly seemed to begin practicing graduation exercises when we found ourselves receiving those much desired and treasured diplomas. It is with a feeling of sadness mingled with joy and pride that | write of our last year together. Proud that at last we have won our spurs. Now we are ready to go forth into that larger world where shining mountains stand everywhere chal- lenging our conquest. | feel that our school days at Flat Rock have been well spent. With the help of our beloved principal and teachers, we have been able to accomplish much in our school work. Memories of full and happy years filled with work and play linger in our minds as we, the Seniors of ‘51, complete our school days here. Class Historian MARY JANE FREEMAN
