C (a Si - J hitor v Often history is considered rather dull, and it seems that each class has only a repetition of facts to offer; however, we seniors of 1952 feel that we have accomplished much. We entered Goldston High School in 1940. The following year Mr. G. P. Cullipher succeeded Mr. W. F. V easey as our principal. We should like to extend thanks to Mrs. Milton Garner, Miss Nina Ferguson, Mrs. Fave C. Moore, Miss Catherine Ward, Miss Louise Womble, Mrs. Mary A. Bar¬ ber, and Mrs. Helen Jeffrey for carefully and patiently guiding us into high school. Twenty-seven of us began high school as Freshmen.

We selected for our mascots Anne Rives and Ronnie Gaines; our colors, red and white; our flower, red rose; and our motto, “Do more—wish less.” Our history has been twelve long years filled with many smiles and few tears. The recalling of these years will always bring us pleasant memories. To everyone who has helped us and who has patiently watched our progress—Thank You. May we live up to your expectations and our own dreams. VICTORIA MOORE, Class Historian
