“The Past, Forever Gone O WE BEGAN — a hundred thirty- two of us, almost the largest group ever to start in our school. Mothers had prepared us for the big day with our best clothes and shiny faces, but our first look at the huge monster, school, reduced many of us to tears. By the time we reached the second and third grades we were old-timers, with a slightly superior attitude. Most of the boys and some of the girls boasted scratches and bruises from fights and tree-climbing. Oh, we were a tough bunch then! Studies weighed heavily upon us in the fourth grade, and we spent some time over the three R’s, especially ’rithmetic. The boys tried their hardest to look and act like little monsters; and the girls, in their bobbed hair, curls, or pig-tails, simply ignored the silly things. Powdered wigs and hoop skirts, knee- pants and lipstick were the sissy accom- paniments to the Minuet which we so daintily danced for a chapel program in the fifth grade. We painted great ‘‘master- pieces,” named the forty-eight states, re- cited jingles about Columbus sailing the ocean blue, and played softball. We were terribly mean in the sixth grade and often went for weeks at a time without a recess because of our talkative habits. We made a rule about hair-combing in class and held a mock trial if anyone was reported for this serious offense. The seventh and eighth grades were “Junior High,” and we felt we were grown up. We danced the Highland Fling until our legs ached for one May Day, and did acrobatics, crowned with a most wonder- ful pyramid, for the next May Day pro- gram. We showed off. We were marvelous! sof 8 18 99 Freshmen!! At the sight of all those people still above us, our class of eighty- nine — including dees newcomers, June Carol Jobe, Ann Woods, and Patricia Tysor — felt a little less brave and very much more confused. Slowly we began to feel at home and to enter with enthusiasm the classes and sports, the fun and frolics of these “High Schoolers.” Sophomores!! We settled down in earn- est to the routine of changing classes, writ- ing themes, reciting Latin, and in general having the time of our lives. We wel- comed Peggy Gibson and Betty Ann Eury into the class, began the hero worship of those handsome football players, and looked a bit enviously at the wonderful Seniors. Juniors!! Threading our way slowly through the maze of magazine- -selling, “Three Days of Gracie,” winning football, and the miraculous Junior-Senior banquet, we seemed to live in a daze, with a year Passing in just no time at all. New arrivals were Mary Ann Chandler, Betty Lou Fincher, and Hattie Prater. Seniors!!| Bow low when you say that wonderful word. We are on top of the world. We have class rings, plans for a Washington trip, and annual pictures; and everyone stands when we enter Assembly. Now the twenty-five of us who have spent all our school days at Graham High and the forty-two who have joined us along the way, including Senior arrivals Marvin Wallace, Marvin Mann, and Billy Han- ford, are beginning a new chapter in our life just as the world begins a new half- century. May the dreams in our hearts come true as we remember, ‘““The future, 1°? still our own! SARA KaTE Davis Historian ye
