Class History At last, we conclude our twelve long years at Goldston High School. Grad¬ uation is here, and we realize that there are others waiting to take our places. Although these years have been full of tireless days and almost unsolvable problems, they have held many incidents and happy moments that we shall never forget. We can still remember the fall of 1943 when we were enrolled at Goldston High School for the first time. As a class, we grew and developed together, sharing acquaintances and unsurpassed friendships of all our teachers. Finally, in 1951, we reached high school. That year we were sponsored by our principal, Mr. G. P. Cullipher. We chose as our class officers, Pat Thomas, President; Billy Hart, Vice President; Glenn Smith, Secretary and Treasurer; and Larry Graham, Room Representative. It didn ' t seem long before another year had passed, and we found our¬ selves constantly climbing higher. Unbelievable, but true, we were sophomores. This time, to steer us through the year, we chose as our leaders, Betty Lou Caudle, President; Jackie Miller, Vice President; Shirley Wilkins, Secretary and Treasurer; and Carolyn Caviness, Room Representative. During that year, the F. F. A., under the direction of Mr. C. O. Williford, sponsored its first Father- and-Son Banquet, and six of our girls served. Betty Lou Caudle and Ann Barber were also selected to marshal at the commencement exercises. Several out of our number were athletes and joined in celebrating our first Athletics Banquet; in addition, ten sophomores served at the Junior-Senior Banquet given that year. Made confident through many undertakings of the previous year, as Juniors, we were an ambitious and determined group. To get us off to a good start; we elected Larry Graham, President; Jackie Miller, Vice President; Shelby Elkins, Secretary and Treasurer; and Pat Thomas, Room Representative. We selected Rose Festival as the theme, and honored the seniors with, what we thought, a very beautiful banquet. Having accomplished a very successful year of work¬ ing and planning, along with the seniors, we decided to go to Florida on our customary class trip. We enjoyed tremendously the variety of activities we shared at Daytona Beach, Silver Springs, and other places we visited. To close another year, five girls marshaled at the commencement exercises with Betty Lou Caudle, chief; Shirley Wilkins, Inez Poe, Ann Barber, and Carolyn Caviness. We could scarcely believe that on our next return to school, we would be seniors! But we were, and are, and now we were. This year, being our best and last, we strove hard to have the best annual ever published at Goldston. Also, we presented a senior play called Here Come The Brides, that received many laughs. Our leaders for this great year were: Jackie Miller, President; Pat Thomas, Vice President; Carolyn Caviness, Secretary; Inez Poe, Treasurer; and Ann Barber, Room Representative. The last few months of school began to bring into view thoughts of another big event—the trip that only the seniors would take! Then, the wonderful finish—Graduation! To end up twelve years correctly, the 1955 Seniors extend to our principal, our teachers, and our friends, a hearty word of thanks for your inspiration through the years. By Betty Lou Caudle
