i titor (Elaaa History It all started with a groan in September, nineteen hundred and forty-seven when in we stalked—mere adolescents, bringing with us, judging from the noise we made, our apparently uncontrollable vocal chords. However, Mrs. Elizabeth Stack and Miss Fran- celle Barden, as our homeroom teachers soon gave us Lesson No. 1 on voice control— or “If you don’t stop talking, I’m going Jo ' send you out.” A brief library course under Miss Southerland confirmed a fact that heretofore we had heard but had not dared to be¬ lieve—We didn’t know everything ' A year later and look at us now! Practically civilized people. Enough so, at least, that we became recognized as active Sophomore participants in school affairs. Several of us formed a Latin Club and ordered pins. Joyce Jones made the basketball team. Betty Wells, Ralph Ashworth, Charles Norris, Jo Ann Blalock and Daphne Adams repre¬ sented us at meetings of the Student Council. Emma Lou Chappel was elected president of the 4-H Club. The most unforgettable assignment of the year was handed us by our English teacher, Mrs. Elton Arnold, who ordered us to compile a booklet of five chapters entitled “My Life.” Time passed swiftly and soon we answered to the name of Juniors. The attitude of our teachers and classmates told us we were more pefined and bit more nature. Our interests proved it too. Polly Stephenson enjoyed the fine arts and, as a reward of her interests, won a piano medal. Also a lover of music was Billy Stephenson, who gained recognition from every classmate as an accomplished singer when he won a rating of “excellent” in competition at Meredith College. Maynard Lloyd was elected class presi¬ dent about the same time Nell Adcock won the popularity contest and seventeen class members began to wear Beta pins. Invaluable- to the basketball squad in winning the county championship were Jimmy Tilley, J. K. Sherron, Tommy Keith, Billy Myatt and Ronald Sherron. Nancy Kesler, Sara Van Hpok, Fred Ragan and Ralph Ashworth at¬ tended Girls’ and Boys’ State respectively. • Career Day, our Junior play, “Three Days of Grace,” and the operetta, “Miss Starlight,” share honors as three never-to-be-for- gotten events in the .eleventh grade. i • ' - At last we realized that we were Seniors. The arrival of class rings and the ordering of invitations and calling cards confirmed this fact. With Miss Lucy Perkinson and Mrs. Elizabeth Stack as homeroom teachers and Fred Ragan as class president, we felt pre¬ pared to proceed onward up this road to graduation. The football team with Nell Ad¬ cock as its sponsor and Billy Joe Dickens as its star player got the yqar off with the pro¬ verbial “bang” by winfting for the fourth consecutive year the county championship. Rooting for the team as cheerleaders were Sara Walters, Jewel Davis, Ruby Harvell and Sara Van Hook. Outstanding in the F.F.A. were Branson Wilkerson, who was a delegate to the state convention, and Richard Smith, who won a special F.F.A. a.vard. Departing from the conventional plays of the past, we decided to give the costume play “Annie Laurie.” The results were most gratifying. And now, as graduation draws near, we realize that with it will, come new hopes, friends and memories, but believing that those shared at Fuquay Springs High School are the most memorable, it is not with regret that we say “Goodbye” to our dear school, but rather with gratitude for affording us four of the happiest, most carefree years of our lives.
