our history It ' s hard to remember that just four short years ago the members of the class of 1955 were freshmen—green and very much confused in all the excitement of being in high school. Every member of our class had problems but they were soon overcome. Milton Riley, Phillip Dickens, Jimmy Wood, Oscar Stephenson, and Charles Smith made the football team that year. We also had Faye Rowland, Kay Delle Arnold, Kay Adams, Gypsy Williams, Joanna Johnson, Nancy Stephenson, Oscar Stephenson, and Jimmy Wood rep¬ resenting our class on the basketball court. By the time we were sophomores, we felt that we were really a part of the school. As freshmen we felt like underdogs and outcasts, but by this time our place in school society had risen considerably. Our class again contributed valuable players to the school athletic activities. The summer passed quickly between the sophomore and junior years. When we returned to school after our vacations, everyone ' s head was in the clouds—we at last had achieved the exalted position of juniors. Jennie Proctor was elected as our class president. One of the highlights of that year was the selection of the Beta Club members. Over thirty in our class sported Beta pins. The most important money-making project that year was a chicken supper. Everyone really enjoyed the preparations for it—including the potato peeling. Our play, June Mad, was a great success. Miss Vivian Burton was our producer and Kay Adams our director. Robert Carter and Jennie Proctor played the leads. In the spring that most important of all occasions arrived—the Junior-Senior Banquet. We had the Old South as our theme. We worked terribly hard to make it a success. Before we knew it we were seniors. It was hard to believe, but we all soon began to feel our superiority over the lower-classmen. Our cherished class rings finally came. Every senior seemed hand conscious for a few days but we became used to our new treasure. There were those important days when we ordered our invitations and when we were measured for our caps and gowns. It was a strangely wonderful feeling to know that we ' d soon be graduating. Donald Averette, Bobby Davis, Oscar Stephenson, Charles Smith, Wailes Blalock were stars on the football field. Patricia Powell was our beautiful home¬ coming queen. The home-coming game was thrilling, especially since Fuquay won the game. Patricia Adams, our head cheerleader, and Eleanor Van Hook kept our spirits high. Our basketball players included Glenn Spivey, Bobby Davis, Larry Stephenson, Oscar Stephenson, Kay Delle Arnold, Nancy Stephenson, and Faye Rowland. Doris Ragland, Nancy Stephenson, Linda Keith, and Bobby Davis were our class officers. Jimmie Proctor the student-council president, was in charge of the programs in chapel each Friday morning. We never realized that four years could go so fast. In the twinkle of an eye we were finishing high school. Leaving high school is very sad to us, but we shall find cheer and comfort in the memories of our happy high school careers, and in the friendships we have cultivated. We shall always remember Fuquay High, and there will be a tender spot in our hearts for this our beloved ALMA MATER. LEONIDAS BETTS, Class Historian
