Gray High School - Blue and Gold Yearbook (Winston Salem, NC)

Page 7 text:

Foreword As the intangible feeling of school spirit unfolds, energetic Grayites add a unique chapter to the history of James A. Gray High School. Advanced classes, the new ‘Blue Goose,’’ an activity period, and a course in German provide new and diverting interests. Leading in work and play, the seniors spark the lively atmosphere that prevails in the student body. : Representing the last group of students who attended when our school included an eighth grade, the class of 1961 becomes the first group to graduate from Gray as a strictly senior high. Hours and days of the past now fuse in memories of defeating Reynolds in football, being runner-up in the state semi-finals of the AAA Conference, cheering at pep rallies, struggling with homework, cramming for exams, attending as- semblies, creating projects, scurrying to meetings, decorating for social events, dancing in the gym, and working together to serve all. By the presentation of copy and pictures in this yearbook, we have attempted to de- pict the joys and woes of an entire year well-spent in learning, maturing, and socializing.
