. Ten of us girls served for the J unior-Senior Banquet. We were dressed in white dresses with clown aprons and caps. After troubling Mr. C. H. Johnson over our boy friends and girl friends, we went joyously up to the eleventh grade and found Mr. Parker for our teacher. It was the first of this year that the love bug bit Edna Earle Britt, Doris Brock and Lola Mae Laws. Much to our surprise Ralph Weaver joined Uncle Sam's service. Daisy Moore, one of our former students, joined us. By working like Busy Bees we managed to get our Junior Play up in two weeks. The Little Clodhopper was a tremendous success, and was presented November 23, 1948. The next big highlight was the Junior Career Day with all of us look- ing forward to a trip to Goldsboro, and a barbecue dinner. We were very interested in the Art Exhibit, especially the Grantham section. The biggest highlight of all was the J unior-Senior Banquet for which we worked real hard. Everyone worked hard, but at the same time enjoy- ed it. It was a Hawaiian theme, and our waitresses were dressed in grass skirts. We got many compliments on our beautiful decorations. This big event came off the 6th of May, 1949. At the close of the school term our class had a weiner roast at May's Pond CDudley Beachj, May 30, 1949. On class night instead of carrying a rose chain like the other Juniors had done in the past, we decided to carry wands of roses, and with them We formed an archway for the Seniors to pass under. Our song to the Seniors was written by Ruth Williams to the tune of My Happiness. Our motto was, Tonight we sail, where shall we anchor, our colors were green and pink, and our flower was Pink Carnation. During the summer a few members of the class gave Mr. Parker a sur- prise birthday party. It was at May's Pond CDudley Beachj on July lst, 1949. At last, the awaited year came and we were proud Seniors. Our teachers were all back except Mr. C. H. Johnson. To our sorrow he retired, and it seemed as though one of our own family had left us. Although we still see him at times, it doesn't seem the same. Miss Frances Glenn took his place. After wondering all summer whether Miss Kathryn Chason would be with us as our Senior Home Room Teacher, the first day answered our question, as we walkcd in the room and saw her sitting behind the desk. We had lots of fun the night we went on our hayride, and also bowl- ing. We all went on a big truck with hay in the back for us to sit and stand on. Although it was cool, we still had our fun. We still remember our falls leaving us bruised and sore the times we went skating, but it still wasn't compared with our falls we got our J un- ior year skating. We had lots of fun at all our parties given by students of our class. We were thrilled beyond speaking when we were told we could have an Annual. It is the first annual Grantham has had in about eleven years. Our Senior play was Look Me In The Eye with twelve characters. It came off March 25th, 1950. Our class was the largest class to graduate in several years, with an. enrollment of 34. As the end of the year approached, our hearts became heavier and heavier. Our thoughts linger back to the many happy school days we spent together, and our eyes were misty with tears as we said good-bye to class mates, teachers, friends and most of all to Grantham, our Dear Ole Alma Mater.
