Class History In September, 1945, with high hopes and aims we entered high school as green-horns. Aiding us in adjusting ourselves to the many new problems which arose were our two homeroom teachers, Miss Lassiter and Miss Person. Heretofore we had been one big happy family, but now with chang- ing classes and all the excitement of several boys going out for athletics, the family began to break up. Summer vacation over, we again turned suntanned faces to books and studies. Now we were sophomores. Though smaller in number we knew the ropes, and coasted gaily through the year under the direction of Miss Person and Miss Odom. In the latter part of the winter and early spring several girls left our family circle to marry. Nineteen forty-seven ! High school now had under its roof 25 Juniors who were great busybodies. We were all a ' ditter over the Junior-Senior Banquet which we gave on May 7. Our family was a busy one now with its many club members. We had our thumbs in the Seer and Annual pies and were feeling most important. Our sponsors, Miss Harris and Miss Rogers, helped us iron out our details while we kept one eye on the Seniors. Dignified Seniors, twenty-five strong, we entered school September, 1948. This, our last year at school, we experienced the strange feeling of happiness and remorse, for in nine short months we would say farewell to friends and dear old John Graham, which for twelve years had housed and watched us grow. Class rings and such, with our various plans for the future, kept us starry-eyed and dreamy. To Miss Walters, our Senior sponsor, and all the teachers, we thank you for leading us ever forward. Veni, vidi ? vici. Truly, we came, we saw, we conquered, and stepped forth onto the road of life as proud, well adjusted adults. Our problems have not been few. Now we are better citizens because of you, John Graham. Peggy May, Class Historian 11
