The Senior Class Of 1951 The time has come when the senior class of 1951 must say good-bye to dear old John Greer. After four happy years of football and basketball games, class parties and school dances, the Junior-Senior Prom, and dozens of other little mem- ories we must don our caps and gowns, write our wills, and be on our own. We are leaving our school days with forty-three of us. We started out as freshmen as ninety-five. We still have our senior year the same president, Donnie Sherrill, the same vice-president, Howard Leftwich, and the same secretary, Beth Metz, as we had our freshman year. Yes, the time has come. . . we have been the almighty seniors and many honors have we had bestowed upon us, many deeds have we accomplished and now we are ready to become knights after our last few flings on Senior Tacky Day, Dignity Day, and Senior-Teachers Day.
