HISTORY Today as we look back over our past life in Greenville High School our chests swell with jjride, for indeed we have something to be proud of. Our accomplishments speak for us and they exclaim how successful we have been. Four years ago we made our debut, and we promptly announced that our motto would be “Aim high, but reach higher”, and that we have done. Lavender and white were chosen as our class colors, and we recognized ourselves as the great Forty Niners. As Freshmen, we worked as an organized group. Our first officers were John Farley, President; William McLaw- hon, Vice-President; and Lois Waldrop, Secre- tary and Treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers, we sponsored one of the most successful dances ever presented in the school, “The Freshmen Follies.” Thus it is evident that the Forty Niners were not slow in their search for fortune and fame. The following year as Sophomores we elected Donald Rose, president of our class; Carl Denton, vice-pre.sident; Joanna Bunch, Secre- tary; and Lois Waldrop, Treasurer. During the year we sponsored the Coronation Ball, and the originality of the dance won the praise of many. Time can never take away the memories of our junior year, for we crammed so many activities into nine short months that we were forever doing something. Our officers were Carl Denton, president; Walter Wilson, vice-presi- dent; Dot Wilson, secretary; and Fred Brooks, treasurer. With the co-operation of the class, our officers and committee chairmen, we conducted a suc- cessful magazine sale and presented a junior- senior that shall not easily be forgotten. Frances Bendall, Fred Brooks, Dot Whiteley, Walter Wilson, Bettie Anne Young, Barbara Clement, Sam Northrop and Dot Stauffer were our class marshalls. £ 24 }

HISTORY As seniors we again chose Carl Denton to lead and direct our class; Peggy Williams was elected secretary; McDonald Bland, vice-presi- dent; and Howard Proctor, treasurer. Again we had a successful business venture in the sale of stationery. With characteristic enthusiasm, we entered into our many Senior activities. The annual staff was elected, pro- ducing the newly retitled yearbook, “The Tau.” We sponsored an original Christmas program and contributed a decorated tree to the chil- dren’s ward at the hospital. We will never forget the thrill we received while hearing and taking part in “The Messiah.” The color and originality of our senior play “Annie Laurie” made all our hearts burst with pride, and our well-planned Senior day was a day that will always warm our hearts. With all our excitement in making plans for our gradua- tion day, a new feeling came over us — a feeling that could make us remember our past with wistfulness and a tear in the eye; and, yet, make us proudly say, “We have aimed high, and we reached higher.” “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made.” Robert Browning [25}
