We? In the fall of nineteen hundred and fifty, there gathered together at Glendale High School forty young girls and boys, full of anticipation, ready to begin their high school years of fun, fellowship, and work. There were crowded halls, friendly faces, and unfamiliar teachers. The day seemed far away when we would be marching along in the footsteps of our much admired seniors. ln our freshman year we were divided into two groups and put in separate rooms. Mrs. George Pope and Mr. William Dixon were our sponsors. We had several parties to go along with the tasks of studying and working. Many of the boys and girls started playing basketball and baseball. The girls on the basketball team attended the state tourna- ment in Aberdeen, even though we were not one of the fortunate participators in the tournament. During the year we encountered some hard tasks such as algebra and English, but we survived, all the better for the experience. Several of our classmates left us during the year, thus reducing our class in number, but not in spirit. We were proud of our class and our schoolg and we realized that year that if we would keep our school the best, we must cooperate, be good citizens and show our school spirit in every way possible. After a summer that whisked by like a breeze, we found ourselves a whole year older--and sophomores! We worked and we had fun. Included in the fun was the winning of the barbecue ticket sales contest, How we worked on that, determined to win over the juniors, who led most of the time, and to have a big share in obtaining equipment for our new lunchroom which was to be built before the follow- ing school year. Mr. Ben Wethington was our faithful advisor this exciting year. There were also lots of parties, fun, and frolic. The girls and boys still played basketball. Lucille Boykin and Betty Jane Boyette brought us great honor when they received awards for being All-County Forward and All-County Guard respectively. Lucille Boykin was chosen Miss Johnston County this eventful year, How proud we were of our lovely classmate. In 1952 we started our junior year, no longer just one of a large group but an entity beginning to make itself known and felt. Our struggles began when we raised money for the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was given at the Cherry Hotel in Wilson on April 17. The theme of our Banquet was Hawaiian. Truly this was the highlight of our junior year. What fun we had preparing for the banquet! Under the capable leadership of our junior sponsor, Mrs. Lois P. Bunn, and the eager enthusiasm of the juniors, it was truly an event worth remembering. Our junior play, OH PROMISE ME was very successful, The cast included Bobby Davis, Betty Jane Boyette, Earl Ray Jones, Bet Boykin, Louise Stancil, Betty Hill, Lucille Boykin, Shirley Hicks, Billy Davis, Jane Hodge, and Junior Edwards. The rest of the class, who served as the produc- tion staff, deserved much praise and credit for their wonder- ful support behind-stage and off-stage. Mrs. Gladys Boykin and Mrs. Lillie Boykin, our grade mothers, gave us a Christmas party. They also honored us with a wiener roast in the spring at Sunset Memorial Park in Wilson. Mrs. Bunn steered us through the many hardships and pleasures of that memorable year, Leading the class as our worthy officers were Bobby Davis, Earl Jones, .70e2 Virginia Creech and Sue Boykin. Another summer, just a breath long, flew by and the fall of the year came upon us with a bang. Seniors at last --not too dignified at first, but anxious to preserve the traditions of our Alma Mater. Realizing our responsibilities as upper classmen, we chose as our class officers Bobby Davis, Junior Edwards, Virginia Creech, Louise Stancil, and Sue Boykin. Mrs. Bunn was again our wise and friendly sponsor, one who could be depended upon to guide us through a most successful year, And she did--sharing our hardships as well as our successes. Our aim and greatest project was to publish our annual, the GLEN-CEDO and to make it one of the best that Glendale ever had. We started at once raising money for our yearbook. We sold cakes and pies, Christmas cards, charm bracelets, presented the senior class play, and raised-money in every way we could. We selected Bobby Davis as editor. Much praise and many thanks for our success was definitely due to Sue Boykin, who as editor of photography, put tireless hours of leader- ship, thought, and originality in the production of an outstanding annual. On the business side, many thanks go to Lucille Boykin, who as advertising manager, worked 1 long and hard to secure the-support of our many loyal and ' helpful advertisers. Orchids to our advisor, Mrs. Bunn and to the other members of the staff for their advice and help. Our last year has been crowded with many things. On September 12 we received our long-awaited class rings! Then there were GLENDALE-ECHO and GLEN-CEDO deadlines to meet, assembly programs, pep rallies, basket- ball games, parties, club meetings, and studies, Let us not forget ME AND MY SHADOW, our class play, which was such an overwhelming success. Gilbert Parrish, Bobby Davis, Yvonne Creech, Virginia Creech, Millie Boykin, Shirley Stancil, Sue Boykin, Winchester Stancil, and Charles Cockrell were the talented characters in the play. The production staff gave whole heartedly of their time and work in order to assure the success of the play. They were the members of the senior class other than the cast. Our grade mothers, Mrs. Ollie Boyette, Mrs. Gladys Boykin, and Mrs. Mary Creech, entertained us on many occasions. We thank them for all the nice things they did for us. Our mascots were pretty little Jo Parrish and handsome little Douglas Lewis. The past four years at Glendale High School were perhaps nothing spectacular, but we hope we have left our mark on it, because we know it has left its mark on us! We remember--we will always remember all the good that it has meant to us, as we step through its portals into the future! We shall ever cherish our motto, To be rather than to seem, and proudly face the world with the deter- mination to dc. just that! Historians - Sue Boykin Louise Stancil
