cflass History In September, 1941, we, the graduating class of 1953, made our first appearance in grammar school. There were a hundred and twenty-two crying and laughing faces ready for the play, work and thrills of school life. During our first eight years in school, we were the headaches of all our teachers , especially Mr, Dunn, who had the honor of teaching some of us for two years, in the seventh and eighth grades. We lost several students at this time and we also gained a few. We finally graduated from the eighth grade with sixty-three students. After our first excitement of high school had subsided, we began to settle down to work under the watchful eyes of Miss Frances Glen and Miss Marie Shuffler. We shall have to admit there were quite a few disappointed students when they put the boys in one room and the girls in another. While we were stillilosing students, we were happy to gain Shirley Casey and Edith Barnette, Along with our many activities we were very proud to present the basketball team with four good players: Marie Hood, Edith Barnette, Floyd Hood, and last but not least , Lemuel Cox. As we returned for our sophomore year, we were very fortunate to have Mrs. John Lowdermilk and Miss Jean McCaskill as our homeroom teachers. That year we enjoyed a number of parties and other school activities. We had several students to be cheer- leaders and we added a few more to the basketball team. As we approached our Junior year in the fall of '51, we were very much aware of the responsibilities placed upon our shoulders. We wish to give our aPP1'6CiatiOD to Miss Lewis, who made our school year a very enjoyable and successful one. We began by selecting our class officers: Bobby Futrelle, Presidentg Jimmy Thig- pen, Vice President, Shirley Sasser, Secretary, Lemuel Cox, Treasurerg and Stuart Nethercutt, Reporter. Bobby led us through a very successful year of activities. Or- dering our rings was one of our more exciting tasks, along with the Junior Play, Peter Beware, which was a real success. We ended our Junior year with our two biggest events of all--the Junior Senior Banquet, in which we were host, and graduation. It was the first banquet alot of us had ever been to, especially with bow ties, white coats, evening dresses and flowers. The night that was most touching was class night when we had to carry rose chains and sing to the seniors. So ended our junior year. On September 4, 1952, thirty-one proud and excited seniors entered the senior homeroom. Yes, we were now dignified seniors. We are very grateful to Miss Doris Lee, who has been our guiding light through out the year. This year had been the high light of our whole life. We had a million and one things that we wanted to do. First of all was our annual. Mr. McDonald gave us two school days to go to Goldsboro and Mount Olive to collect ads. Boy, that was fun! Another exciting day was the day we received our class rings, for which we had long waited to own. We looked forward to the Senior Play and everyone was crossing his fingers, hoping that he might be a member of the cast, but of course, there were not enough parts to go around. May brought the Junior-Senior Banquet. This year we were the ones being honored . The Juniors did a grand job of planning and making the banquet a big success, Last, but by no means least, came the long awaited month of May. Graduation me- mories are mingled with happiness and sadness, a feeling of ,accomplishment andone of just beginning, and of importance and insignificance. And so with graduation, each 5 S D' Q , I, of us--with our cherished school memories--shall take a new road of life. o X X
