Claaa .Hialory ln the fall of 1938, a group of happy youngsters greeted an October morning with a smile. We, who today are the seniors of 1950, entered the first grade. A number of us began our education at Chapel, and the others at Glendale. We were proud of this day, for it was the beginning of twelve years of hard work, but happiness, for us. We were united here at Glendale in 1944 in the seventh grade. lt was here on these grounds that lifelong friendships were established. That year, at the home of Peggy Boyette, we had our first class party, which all of us enjoyed. ln the eighth grade we were only one step from high school and all of us were anxious and excited. We had our class party at Retha's that year, and by then we were really getting down to business. As freshmen in 1946 and 1947 we came to be a well known group at Glendale. We gave a play at Valentines Day under the direction of Mrs. Gilbert Boyette. Vife also went to l'lolt Lake, but it was rather cool for bathing, although some of us did go fora swim, During our sophomore year we had a weiner roast at Atkinson's lvlill and a class party at Nellie Gray Batten's. Our Junior year began with a bang! First of all, we sold magazines, which proved a successful and money-making proposition. We also opened an ice cream bar in the basement of the school build- ing, in which we sold all kinds of ice cream products to help out on our banquet. Russell's mother gave us a Christmas party, Our grade mothers, lvlrs. David Boyette and Mrs. Luby Batten, gave us an Easter party at the home of Peggy Boyette during April. We spent a Saturday at White Lake, which all of us enjoyed. ln February we began planning for our Junior-Senior banquet which we gave the seniors in our new club building on April 15. As seniors, we began working on Glendale's first annual, The Glen-Cedo. We received our beauti- ful rings at the beginning of this year. lvlr. lv1cNerney accompanied us to Chapel l-lill October 29, where we saw the Carolina-Tennessee football game, and also learned many interesting things about the Uni- versity of North Carolina. We walked over the campus and down into the village where some of us attended a movie. One of our grade mothers, lvlrs. Lewis Peele, gave us a party December 29 at her home. Everyone enjoyed the entertainment and refreshments. We ordered our caps and gowns recently which are maroon for both boys and girls. As we go back into memory's nooks and corners, when we were shy and afraid, through the twelfth grade, which makes us seniors who have overcome most of our blocking obstacles, our journey is as nice as any journey could be. We want to leave some of our happiness to this old school building and to the classes which are to follow after us. At the close of our journey through school, we find ourselves Con- tent, happy, and satisfied with our educational experience thus far. Historian ROSE PITTMAN
