History of the Class of ’56 AS TOLD BY THE GOLD-DIGGER I was here the day they came and I can tell you, in all my experiences of seeing kids come in and go out of Gold- ston School, I have never seen more promising looking classes than those taught by Miss Grace Burke and Mrs. Ollie Garner in 1944. They were so promising looking, in fact, I decided to keep an eye on them right through their school days. Weil, this class went from the first grade clear through to the eighth grade at a rather steady pace. Then one day in 1952 they entered high school. All of them liked high school, they told me, because of the refreshing class changing schedule. Their leaders for this year were: Mosely Barber, Mollie Sims Cheek, Jerry Gaines, and Ruth Ellen Jourdan. I witnessed their Sophomore year, too. It was a successful year with Russell Palmer, Mollie Sims Cheek, Gilbert Ruth, J. T. Griffin, and Vivian Gilliland as class officers. The excitement ran high the next year when they got into the upper¬ classman bracket! There were so many things to make the Junior year a satisfying one. Besides a lot of hard studying, there was the Junior-Senior Banquet (the theme was April Showers ), trip to Florida, Hi-Lites, the Junior Play ( Aunt Cathie ' s Cat ), marshaling for the Senior Play and their part in the graduation services. Their leaders for the Junior year were Vivian Gilliland, Wesley Miller, Jimmie Phillips, Fairbell McMillan, and Jerry Gaines. Then came that grand day when they became Seniors. Jerry Gaines, their Senior president, told me to say a big Thank You to all you parents, teachers, and friends who have been such nice leaning posts for them these last twelve years. Other officers for this past year were Tommie Wilkie, Ruby Dowdy, Ruth Ellen Jourdan, and Ann Gail Murchison. After their Senior duties (the Senior play, The Cannibal Queen and the annual) will come graduation and my separation from them. But God will always be with them, and with Him, they cannot fail.
