Senior (Ohms History Let us turn back to the year nineteen forty-five, when our enthusiasm for high school was at its peak. As bewildered Freshmen it took sometime to adjust ourselves to high school routine. Little did we realize then what barriers lay in store for us be¬ fore we were to reach that long awaited goal of seniority. The highlight of this year was Civics under Miss Litaker. Our homeroom teach¬ ers were Miss Lydia Beavers and Mrs. W. A. Runnion. Another year gave us the pride of saying we were sophomores and convinced us that there was still much to learn. Biology under Mrs. Runnion confirmed this fact. By the time our Junior year rolled around all of us were entering whole-heartedly into the activities of the school. Roy B. Talley was elected class president. Our football team was undefeated and untied. The Student Council was organized this year and from our class Joe Chappell was elected vice-president. Our Junior play, “He Could¬ n’t Marry Five, was a great success. The funds obtained from the play were used to give our Junior-Senior Banquet and dance. A day to be remembered was Career Day sponsored by the Civitan Club of Raleigh. Those attending Girl’s State were Mary Royal Callis, Mary Frances Haddock, Patrica Prince, Shirley Ragan, Marie Rogers and Bar¬ bara Ann Tilley. At last came our Senior year with only a few months until we have accomplished our goal. For our homeroom teachers we had two of the very best, Miss Lucy Perkin- son and Mrs. Elizabeth Stack. Clarence Rollins was elected president of the class. Again our football team was a powerhouse. Barbara Ann Tilley was president of the Student Council, and our representatives were Grace Jones, Peggy Walker, Phillip Ransdell, and Dale Tilley. For the first time since nineteen forty-five we published a school paper, Hi-Times. From our class Linda Blalock, Clarence Rollins, Barbara Dones, Olivia Sherian, and Mary Frances Haddock were on the staff. The Book Club was organized this year, and the Senior officers were Dale Tilley, vice-president; Shirley Ragan, sec¬ retary-treasurer. A highlight of the year was our Thanksgiving Party at Sunset Lake. Our new ball park was completed in time for the football season. Dale Tilley was the capable manager of our football team. The school cafeteria equipped with new furniture was finished in November. Cheerleaders from our class this year were Grace Averette, Alma Hill, Sara Ellen Fish, and Ann Lanier. As we leave the school and our fellow students, each of us thinks back over the years just passed. Many who started with us as Freshmen have moved away or drop¬ ped by the wayside. We have chosen our courses, played, worked, and practiced as a great unit; but now we are on the threshold of individualism. The doors of colleges and business firms are opening to us, and we are to enter them on our merit. And thus, Fuquay High, the class of nineteen forty-nine bids you “Farewell.” Page Twenty
