CLASS HISTORY The class of 1955 began its long and tedious journey in 1943. Mrs. Floyd Green had the honor of breaking us in to the humdrum of school life. Forty-two students began this journey with us. We were well disciplined in the first grade. Many were the times that we were slapped on the hand for not going to sleep when we were supposed to. Betty Bentley joined us in the second grade. Mrs. Rowan exposed us to the fine arts of spelling and arithmetic during our visit there. Miss Sara Howard ruled us with a wooden shoe and wooden ruler, when we made our visit to the third grade. Because of this we made our visit short and only stayed nine months. One of the well remembered events of that yearwas the Operetta, The Early Bird Catches the Worm in which many of us were starred. Alice Faye Smith, Geraldine Phillips, and Durwood Sharpton joined us during this year. We had become quite a group when we reached the 4th grade and we were divided in half. Mrs. Harry Anderson taught one half and Mrs. Lyon Crosby taught the other half. We thought we were really the stuff then because we were old enough to organize a club. This noteworthy club was our very own Book Club. Byron Rudd became a part of this great class in the fourth grade. In the fifth grade Mrs. Martha Mae McPherson took over from the very first. If our memory is correct Mrs. McPherson broke the plaster from the wall during one of her more energetic moments. This year will be well remembered by the Minstrel Show which our cast of performers put on. It will also be remembered by the trip to the Museum in Tallahassee. Max Watson and Clifford Johnson joined us in the fifth grade. During our last few years we had heard what a fine teacher Mrs. Tommy Green was and were looking forward to the sixth grade very much. Although we were disappointed when we reached this grade to find that she had retired, we also found that her daughter, Miss Virginia Green, was just as fine. We enjoyed listening to the daring adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn as she patiently read them to us each day. The sixth grade had the best Glee Club in the school that year. It presented its special program at a P.T.A. meeting. In the seventh grade we began our slow advancement through high school. Mrs. Carl Smith had a hard time convincing W. C. Jordan he was supposed to do when she said do. Her wrist-clock will always be remembered by the fact that it was always right. Edwin Harris from Bonifay and Eugene Fenn from Bristol became a part of our class that year. Alice Faye Smith and Lynette Bowen represented Greensboro in the Perry Spelling Bee held in Quincy. Alice Faye was also Halloween Queen. This class had its last Easter Egg Hunt in the seventh grade. In the eighth grade we were really The Class because we had started changing classes. Our first swimming party was held at Lake Mystic. Miss Evelyn Johnson informed us that we were still little by making us play Red Rover, Ring-a-Round-a-Rosy, and Jump Rope at all our class parties when we thought we were old enough to go walking. Our freshman year began in the fall of 1951 with 28 students. Mr. Jeff Bradford, band director, was our freshman class sponsor. We led a gay social life that year with our class parties at the homes of some of our students and at White Springs. The freshman year successfully ended, we returned to school the following September as Sophomores. We attempted to impress upon our upper classmen how absolutely indispensable our class was to the life of Greensboro High. This year four sophomores were elected cheerleaders for the Basketball Team. Our class really got in the swing of the basketball season since most of us were either on the team, a cheerleader, or in the Pep Band. This was first year of existence for the Pep Band. We had the privilege of breaking in our new Home Economics teacher. Miss Pat Yates as our class sponsor. As Juniors we started the year off with a bang. We again had the privilege of breakihg in a new teacher. This time it was Mr. Harris Francis, the new Math teacher. The first bit of business we attended to as Juniors was the selection of Class Rings, which are the prettiest any Class has ever selected (we think). For our Junior Play we selected A' Feudin' Over Yonder, which was a great success. To prove we had a good basketball team we won the intramural basketball championship. A well remembered event will be the trip to the beach with the Seniors. Besides forgetting the Senior’s gifts we also forgot to carry the potato salad. At last we have reached the end of our journey. We were Sophisticated Seniors. We are happy to say that Alice Faye Smith is the first Miss Tobacco Queen ever to come from Greensboro. We are also proud of Miss Laverne Hill, Halloween Queen for 1954-55. Both of these Seniors have made us proud. We feel it is because of the friendship and co-operation between the members of our class that we have accomplished our goal. 11
