CLASS HISTORY As this year draws to a close, we, the senior class. of '54, look back on the pre- ceding years forlornly wishing we could recall the gay frivolous times which all of us had, But as all other good things do, these happy times come to an end, and we must all go onour separate ways. Yet there are those little things which time can- not mar nor destroy. We have made friends whom we can never forget. We entered school in the fall of 1941, 1am notfamiliar withthe activities of my class until after the seventh grade, We entered high school in 1950, and it is this time I recall dearly and vividly. We were a large class then composed of some seventy awkward freshmen, Many have dropped by the wayside; some have changed schools; and some have married. Those of us who remain, however, have left our mark, and our record is good. During our Junior year we raiseda considerable amount of money and sponsored a Junior -Senior banquet, whichIam sure everyone enjoyed. Our theme for the ban- quet was the Hawaiian Islands and our program was built around it. Our scholastic achievements areas good as any group of its size. Wewereall, as a whole, active in sports. During our senior year we had seven members on the football squad and several on the basketball squad. Glen Alpine was honored to have that great wingback Bob Love in backfield, for as everyone knows Bobby is the fast- est guy around these parts. It is only right for such a fine back to receive recongi- tion for his talents, He attended the Optimist Bowl in Asheville and spent an enjoy- able week's holiday from school. This last year we electedas our class officers the following: President, Martha Graham; Vice-President, Billy Wynne; Secretary, Donella Arrowood; and Treasurer, Mabel Whisenant. Those two lovable kids, Frank Queen and Mozelle Tallent, were chosenas May Kingand Queen, Our class in the past has been truly great. No other class I can think of has anyone comparable to Patsy Hildebrand in Mathematics, John Wells is one of the finest Agriculture students Mr. Gaylord has had. Billy Wynne, James Wachob and I have been no knuckleheads in Science, This year we elected for aHalloween Queen, Namoia Jarrett, and although she did not win the coveted crown, she did very well. Miss Dorries Ramsey received almost all the votes by the football squad and was perfectly lovely as queen in our Homecoming exercises. It is only fitting and proper that we mention some of the seniors, who this year have worked unceasingly for our best interest. These diligent workers are Martha Graham, Editor-in-Chief of the Annual; Mozelle Tallent, the Business Manager of the Annual; and Grace Walker, on whom we can always depend. Also.we must men- Frank Queen, President of the Student Council, who is the go-between the teachers and the pupils. We are all looking forward to our trip to Washington and I am sure that it will be a time none of us shall ever forget. We are deeply indebted to our teachers who have made possible our graduation, and we holda soft spot in our hearts for them because of their efforts and the know- ledge which they have bestowed upon our heads. To all the other students now attending high school, we wish you all the success in the world. Don't drop by the way as some of us did. To all of you I bid you a fond farewell.
