On August 22, 1947, a lazy Carolina sun rose at approximately 5:13 A. M. over a sleepy Granite Quarry High School. The day seemed quiet as usual, when as a bolt from the blue, dozens of bicycles, buses, and cars descended upon the resiful repose. Familiar faces, new faces, bewildered elementary students and freshmen, cocky sophomores, jealous juniors, and dignified seniors. Seven hundred and fifty- three of them, not to mention the fine new teachers. Many interesting things happened. The Halloween Carnival sponsored by the P. T. A. was a huge success. There were chapel programs and P. T. A. programs to be rehearsed. The two most important plays were the junior play and the senior play. Thanksgiving holidays soon followed the opening of school. And then they came—Oh, yes, they came all tight, and how!! One December day, all students with heads bowed entered into the classrooms. It was those ever- lasting, persistent, inevitable mid-term exams. My, how we dreaded them! Then Christmas holidays came along. What a wonderful world this would be if everybody were as grand to one another as he is at Yuletide. The climax quite naturally was graduation. Forty- three products of modern education received their record of accomplishment. The tears were hard to hold back, but they were tears of joy and appreciation for blessings we have received as Granite Quarry students. The rest is history. So there you have it. It is what we did, what we loved, and what we want to remember. After all, that is what really matters—the memories which linger hours after this page is turned. ma te. ii ay
Foreword We, the senior class of 1948, will always remember our school days at Granite Quarry High. In this edition of the ‘‘Quarrier’’ we record our school activities, begin- ning with our freshman year. Many memories are stored in the pages of this book, and they will be fondly recalled by every student as he looks through the ‘‘Quarrier.” Our parents and citizens, as well as the students of Granite Quarry High, will be interested in the high school activities recorded therein. Each event has a special place in the hearts of the seniors. In years to come these events will become priceless memories. So, with this edition of the ‘‘Quarrier,’’ we hope to remind everyone of the days at Granite Quarry High School. SENIOR CLASS
