Text from Pages 1 - 32 of the 1958 volume:

The Senior Class of 1958 wishes to dedi- cate this, our annual, to one of the kindest persons we know - Mrs. Elizabeth Smith. She has given her time to us and has always stood by us with sympathy and loyalty. Her tact, interest, enthusiasm, patience, and most of all, her understanding have won the hearts of many people. To this teacher and friend who has helped prepare us for our fu- ture, we dedicate this issue of the HO -HI We cannot forget our faculty . . .we cannot forget the people who have had so much to do with the directing of our destinies . . .from all we have learned something. We have laughed with them, we have worked with them . . .we extolled their good points, we griped about their bad ones ... we went to their classes sometimes happy, sometimes sad . . .but we always learned something - some- thing that might be useful too, during our long journey on the hard road ahead of us.

Differing from all other Freshman classes in that we had no horror of trials ahead, to the astonishment of the nlassmen we moved in like a tidal wave and created quite an atmosphere of laughter, merriment and Te sailed through a year never to be forgotten by more than we. We had 3 girls and 2 boys who earned let- -he basketball teams and 4 cheerleaders. We girls served at the Junior-Senior banquet and the Irish Setting etjeyed more than the guests did, no doubt. Z Id and experienced as we were the title Sophomores underrated us. Although we felt much more mature raEinued our practical jokes and giggles. Again we girls were chosen to serve the Junior -Senior banquet and •sell the theme was A Circus, we thought we did a splendid job. There ' s no need to say that we were well prepared to set a new ' jolly mark ' for Jolly Juniors. We resolved fe e rp to our motto, Ever Ready. I - dire poverty was accented when we realized we had social obligations to meet - the Junior -Senior, ve resolved to turn over a new leaf and switch from idle mischief to real action. We made up our minds to — e best Junior-Senior ever to be presented, so after putting our heads together we set out to strike it rich. sz.i vanilla, billfolds, assorted cards, desk sets, caps and banners. We were not used to hard work, but we e t live any reason to complain. In no time flat our pocketbook began to glow with health and we started on _ii: step toward financial ability. We worked with the Seniors in getting up a play, Quit Your Kidding. zr toyed the practices very much and then the big night came. Little had we realized how great it would be me applause swelled from the auditorium; then we gave a sigh of relief. Though ' in the money it didn’t take long to dispense of it when we started planning our banquet. We worked hard on invitations, programs, and place cards all of which were handmade in our Hawaiian theme, mm fingernails, blisters and aching backs, yet all diked out in party clothes and high spirits, we soon relaxed enjoyed the banquet immensely. Commencement exercises were close at hand and we busied ourselves to prepare our part of class night. rrrr farewell to the Seniors of ' 57, we paused to think seriously for the first time, wondering how our carefree. : r r-go-lucky class would react to their graduation. Vacation over we were anxious to get back into the old routine, not knowing the many new paths we were to uc. It didn ' t take long to clean out the cobwebs, and we began to save from our studies some surplus grey to create opportunities to ride the hamburger wagon. Ve shall always recall the happy times that resulted from collecting advertisements for our annual. Then ■was the mad rush of preparing copy. But to add spice to drudgery we began work on the Junior -Senior play, e Miss Somebody. It went over ' great, ' much to the relief of Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Whitfield. My, how- must have aged during the trying practices! Having set the record of differing from all other classes we bribed the Juniors into planning our Washington - Tork trip for the fall instead of the traditional spring. After many reversals of opinions and changing of dates boarded our Carolina Trailways bus, October 29, and earned the title, The World ' s Most Unusual Sightseers respite colds and flu, we captured these two great cities. Weary, but joyously happy, we arrived home safely. 3y the end of this last half year we hope to have well profited by our many opportunities, some of which we — iz ed and accepted, and hope that we shall be able to take our places in the future world together, even :Tt in the spirit of remembrance of the wonderful hours we have spent in the past.
