OUR H ISTOR Y Who would possibly guess that the high and mighty Seniors of ' 52 could have been a group or contused, green freshmen only four short years ago? It took us a while to get used to tne routine of high school, but when we finally did, we really felt a part of tne school. David Smith, Bobby Coats, and Lewis and Lawrence Lane were on tne football team, which, incidentally, won the county championship for the second consecutive year. On the basketball court Shirley Holland, Portia Mitchell, and Jerry Williams wore the green and white. We really got into the swing of things as steadily rising Sophomores. Violet Howard, Tommy Howard, and Portia Mitcnell represented our ciass in the Student Council. Wallace Sherron and Charles Wilson this year earned berths on the football squad. Class officers were Tommy Howard, Rachel Dickens, David Smifn, and Betty Jo Beck. The tour of Washington, D. C., proved most interesting botn educationally and socially! After a brief summer vacation, we trudged back to the little red schoolhouse, but witn lignter hearts, tor we were now Juniors! Willie Lee Crabtree served as our very capable President this year. Ten brains sported Beta Club pins, with Betsy Johnson and James Fish Vice-President and Treasurer, respectively. The theme for the Junior-Senior Banquet was a Dream. We were all proud of our finished product and telt it was wortn all the trials and tribulations under¬ gone. Rachel Dickens proved her acting ability when she played the leading role in the Junior play, Our Miss Brooks. Otner characters were portrayed by Gaither Snipes, Betty Jo Beck, and Lewis and Lawrence Lane. The tootball team, consisting largely or Juniors, won tne championship for the fourth straight season, and were we proud of them! Cnarles Wilson and Jerry Williams played important parts in winning the county championship in basketball. Seniors! We had finally risen from the ranks to the number one spot! At the beginning ol the year, we implied to the teachers that we knew everything and that there was no use to try to teach us anything else, but were they dis¬ couraged? No! Even with knowing everything, we found tnat we had to ' brusn up on our lessons before class. It was a big day for us when our be¬ loved rings arrived. And, too, we felt important when we selected our invita¬ tions and calling cards. David Smith proved to be one of the big guns on the gridiron, as was Wallace Snerron, who was chosen for the All-Eastern team. Our team, which started out slowly, came back to win the county cnampionship for the fifth consecutive year. Betty Jo Beck was their attractive sponsor at the home¬ coming game witn Cary. Racnel Dickens and Willa Jean Akins won guard positions on the basketball team. Bobby Coats presided over the Senior meetings, while James Fish took charge in chapel every Friday as President of the Student Council. Even though our four years at Fuquay High were short, we have made every minute one to remember. The friendships which could never have come about if we had not come to this school will be lasting ones in mind and in real life. We are indeed grateful for all the exciting annual events which could only be acquired at our own Fuquay Springs High School, and may those afm sev d?6i - as happy times as we have had. w starring i at Duke II working en in just twenty-one
