CLASS HISTORY As we, the Senior Class of ' 54 open the Griftonian , we recall a few memories of our past school days. Let ' s begin with 1949 when we entered high school as an awkard, proud bunch of Freshmen and learned that Mrs, Bunch was to be our class advisor. Through her guidance and our efforts, we began developing our av kard, clumsy characteristics to blend in with the ways of high school life, Joyce Dennis proved her academic inclincations by obtaining the highest scholastic average and receiving the English Award for having the highest English average. As Sophomores, we elected our class officers who were: Bill Jackson-Pres- ident, Edna McLawhorn Lewis-Vice President, and Phyllis Jackson-Secretary, Mr, Brown our patient advisor helped us through Biology as well as open a small bank account by selling peanuts and cake chances at Basketball games. This year ended with Phyllis Jackson receiving the English Award, Bernard McLawhorn the Agri- culture Award, and Joyce Dennis representing our class on the marshall staff, 1951 opened our Junior year with Mrs, Bunch as our advisor. We had at last become Privileged Juniors and we settled down to the task by electing class officers who were: Bernard McLawhorn-President, Bobby Cole-Vice President, Joyce Dennis- Secretary, and Phyllis Jackson-Treasurer, Another problem which confronted us was the annual Junior -Senior Banquet, We decided to have a combination Banquet andDance, In order to make it a success, we sold Christmas cards, operated a con- cession at Basketball games and after many hours of practice presented the play-- Never Darken My Door, Phyllis Jackson served as Assistant Editor and Bill Jack- son Assistant Business Manager to this year ' s edition of the Griftonian, The year ended with our reliables, Joyce Denis and Phyllis Jackson as marshalls. As school opened this year we found that we were dignified seniors at last, our goal f or the past 11 years. The first thing we did was to re-elect Bernard McLaw- horn-President, Phyllis Jackson-Treasurer, and Betty Boswell-Secretary, As soon as our class arrangements were completed, we began planning for our edition of the yGriftonian by electing Phyllis Jackson--Editor-in-Chief and Betty Boswell--Bus- iness Manager, As a means of making money we sold stationary and presented a play. To climax our senior year we are planning a trip to vVashington. After our school days are over we will separate to seek the fortunes of life, but I ' m certain that each of us can look back and say that school days were the happiest days of our lives.
