CLASS HISTORY It was in the fall of 1936 that seventy bright-faced little boys and girls, with curls, pigtails, and new squeaky shoes, timidly approached the Glen Alpine school building. It was our first day, and only after weeks of preparation were we able to gain control of our shakey knees. Some cried, others sat as though the world had come to an end, still others put on a bold front and took it in their stride. These last are the ones that now make up the Senior Class. Our journey through grammar school was not so eventful. We had our usual childhood diseases, our failures, and achievements, but thirty-eight of us survived the trip and in the spring of 1944 were eagerly looking forward to high school days. Well, it happened! You’ve never seen such a collection of green freshmen— not great in number but in greenness. The -greatest link with the high school had been established earlier when several of us became members of the band. It did not take us long to find our way from class to class and to take part in student activities. During our Sophomore year many of us joined the Dramatics Club and Glee Club, which were newly organized. Grace Brittain, Cecil Lloyd, Pitts Davis, and Lucinda Seals represented our class on the Student Council. Faye and Mabel Bennett were chosen as May Day attendants. In the fall of 1946, we approached the school building as conquerors. We were Juniors, and who knows more in any school? The dominating Senior Class soon put us in our places, but we were able to sneak in a few honors. William Proctor received the medal for the most outstanding piece of work in the science department, and Lucinda Seals received the Home Economics medal. We were represented on the Student Council by Faye Bennett, Annie Catherine Orders, Bill Harbison, and Cecil Lloyd. We were proud of the fact that Bill was elected president of the organi- zation, an honor usually belonging to a Senior. Our contributions to the May Court were Jean Stines and Mary Alice Leonard. Our Junior-Senior banquet was highly successful—so the Seniors said. We took them on an imaginary trip to the Stork Club , with Miss Mavis Allman as our sponsor. Our room representatives, Mr. C. V. Lael and Mrs. Noah Orders, entertained us with a theater party. Our officers for this year were Jean Stines, President; Frank Fleming, Vice President; and Mary Alice Leonard, Secretary and Treasurer. In 1947 we entered our last and crowming year, our Senior year. We had been looking forward to this so that we might enjoy Senior privileges, and lend a helping hand to school activities. Lucinda Seals was elected President; Cecil Lloyd, Vice Presi- dent; Mabel Bennett, Secretary and Treasurer. Our Student Council members were Cecil Lloyd, Lillian Bridges, Pitts Davis, and Mary Alice Leonard. Pitts was President. Several other honors were bestowed on members of our class. Lucinda Seals was elected May Queen, with Mary Alice Leonard assisting her as Maid of Honor. Mary Davis and Ruby McGalliard took part in this festivity as attendants. Mary Alice was also Queen of the Halloween Festival. Our class won first place on Stunt Night. The stunt was called Who Cut Her Throat? To add to our already-honored class, Don Price was selected to represent our football squad in the Optimist Bowl in Asheville, North Carolina. Among the most outstanding excursions that our class members had a hand in was the publication of our first high school annual. The Turkey’s Tail. From our class, the following staff members were selected: Editor-in-Chief, Lucinda Seals; Business Manager, Charles Williams; Advertising Staff, Grace Brittain; Editorial Staff, Annie C. Orders and Jean Stines; Business Staff, Mary Giles Davis. The crowning event of the year was graduation. Only twenty-six of the original seventy finally reached this supreme goal, with Betty Patton, a former Junior, who carried extra work to make our number twenty-seven. For this occasion we chose Carolyn McFalls and Donald Grady as our mascots. To our schoolmates we say farewell. Our school life has not only been interesting but very worthwhile. We shall take the lessons of honor, good sportsmanship and fair play with us through life so that we may be worthy citizens and take our places in the Hall of Fame of Glen Alpine Alumni.
