CLASS HISTORY The long awaited time has finally arrived. Soon the class of ’52 will have ended their high school studies and will go out to seek whatever fortune that awaits them. But first come with me and let us review the years to 1948 when we, the dignified Seniors, entered Valdese High for the first time. We were green and excited and tried to find out what was going on. We soon did! Our teachers for the first year were Mr. Honeycutt, principal, Mrs. Honeycutt, Mr. Cotten, Mr. Donald Johnson, Miss Ghigo, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Barger, Mrs. Braswell, Mr. Gourley, Miss McNaull, Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Wilson. When our Sophomore year came, we were more settled and ready for new studies. We did part of our studying in some of the eighteen new rooms which had been added during the summer. Some of the space was occupied by the 7th and 8th grades which were taught by Mrs. Grill, Mrs. Mull, Mr. Charles Owens and Mrs. Eleanor Brinkley. It was this year that we welcomed Mr. John L. Johnson as our new principal. Other new teachers were Miss Jane Caudell, Miss Eloise Marlowe, Mrs. Mary Reep, Mr. Leo Brevard, and Mr. H. D. Moretz. Our Junior year brought new activities. The Dramatics Club, the Allied Youth, and a French Club were formed. Our most important task was the sponsoring of the Junior-Senior Banquet. The new 7th and 8th grade teachers for this year were Mr. Ralph Clark, and Miss Beverly Ann McDaniel. Our new teachers were Miss Ada Lee Randall, Mr. I. C. Wilson, Mr. George Wilson, Miss Betty Ann Clement and Mrs. Leo Brevard. Now the great year that we have been waiting for is here and we, as dignified Seniors, take our place of leadership over the lower classmen. We still have on our working caps, trying our best to make our Washington trip a success. The teachers this year are Mr. John Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Barger, Mrs. Braswell, Mr. Brinkley, Miss Clement, Mr. Moretz, Miss Ada Lee Randall, Mr. I. C. Wilson, Mr. George F. Wilson, Miss Anita Ghigo, Mrs. Brevard, and Mrs. Wilson. Our new teachers are Mr. Charles, Mr. Clontz and Mrs. Keller. There are 61 members in the Senior Class. We are each eagerly looking forward to the future with open hearts for new and better opportunities. Some will go to college, while others have other plans such as keeping America going in the wonderful liberties of freedom. May the years to come hold in our hearts a tender spot for the four years we spent at Valdese High School. BY KATHLEEN LOWMAN, Class Historian
