eadyomy We have net wings,we cannot soar, But we have feet to scale and climb, By slow degrees,by more and more The cloudy summits of the time. - - Longfellow Here we are ready to begin a long and tiresome journey to an institution of secondary education,where we shall undergo several changes. Stage I-Ignorance September,l94B found us a group of one hundred-forty five boys and girls on our journey to a land of great experience. The journey led us to Mary Potter Academy,Oxford,N.C. As we landed from our barge and looked about us,we wondered if all our desires would be fu1filled.We realized then and there that each moment was truly a new dawn for us. We were green,we adm1t,but we did not let that hamper us, for under the keen guidance of Theresa Morton,whom we selected as our pres1dent,and Mr. G1lreath,our advisor,we steadily climbed toward the stage of wisdom.The climb would have been very rugged had it not been for the wise instructions received from Mr.King , Mrs.Mc- Kee,Mrs.Brennon,and Mrs.Morris. Spring found us a happy,energetic group,proud of our achieve- ments,strolling around,enjoying the beauties of nature. We were then wise. Stage II-Wisdom Upon our arrival at the stage of wisdom ,the question echoed far and near,'Alright wise b1rds,whwt are you going to do now ? We merely answered,'Watch us and see.'For just before the beginning of this term we were informed that we would have to continue our education in Stovall.To be completely truthful,we did not want to change schools.However upon the first visit to the new school we found that the G.C.Shaw High School was very nice indeed.The facul- ty composed of the following persons was very nice,too: Miss Williams,who came to us from Mary Potter Schoolg Miss Fields, Miss Ennett,and Mr.Wood,our principal,who is beyond all doubt one of the best that can be found.They were all equally as nice as the faculty of the school from which we transferred.As time passed our love for our new school grew. In a few weeks we selected Erdine Handy as our leader and Miss Fields as our advisor.It was during this term that Armetta Brown joined us and J.D.Gregory and Mary Lena Roberts left us. Now there were only fourteen of us.Fourteen with great determination. It was a pleasant experience when a name was chosen for our school-'G.C.Shaw'. --We were taking part in many campus activities. Now the stage of honor was at our feet-we continued to climb. Stage III-Honor 'Let man know his worth and keep things under his feet'th1s was our slogan and has been until now. Erdine Handy was again chosen as our president and Miss Fields continued as our advisor. Some of the great activities that we engaged in weregpopularity contestfwe were secondJ,ss members of the Choral Club we made many trips to fill singing engagementsgwe participated in the May Day programgsome of our classmates were on the Newsette staffgwe placed members on the basketball,volleyball,softball,and baseball teams.The 4 H Club also claimed some of our group as leaders. Barbara Gotten joined us during this term. ---- The Junior - Senior Social ended a year of thrilling activities. Ccontinuedj
