CLASS SONG fAuld Lang Synej Dear Training School, We leave you now, With memories of the past, We must go dear Training School, dear J.C.T.S. Four years we've studied very hard, And now our goal's complete, We love you so dear Training School, We hate to leave you now, Where'er we roam, what'er we dog We'll carry thoughts of you, We've learned, labored, hard and long, Now we must go dear School. To our friends, parents, teachers, toog We bid you all farewellg And to underclassmen, too We're saying our last adieu. Chorus Dear Training School, we love you so Dear Training School so fineg We hate to leave you now dear School Dear I.C.T.S. Ann Hilliard Barbara Arrington CLASS POEM We have learned a lot of lessons since, The year of fifty-two. We now feel so very sorry, To have to depart from you. But since we have faced the hardships, As so many more must do, We are leaving you ole I.C.T.S., But your memory we'll hold true. Tho' our high school days are ended, And it seems our race is won, We have not yet finished We have only just begun! In the years that we will labor, Trying to make our lives sublime, We all think of you, dear I.C.T.S. , And our feet will higher climb! As we climb the ladder higher, Reaching nearer to success, We will ask God in Heaven, To please I.C.T.S. bless. Jean Benton

CLASS H!S'!'0!!Y So often do the spirit of great events stride on before the events, and in to-day already walks to-morrow, On August twenty-seventh, nineteen fifty-two we entered the high school with one hundred- one enrolled as freshmen. We soon overcame our fear of the upperclassmen and the hazing that was received from them, disappeared. Our advisors were Mrs. R. C. Dublin, Miss B. B. Jones and Miss W. C. Tyler. Our class was well represented in most of the activities, Barbara Arrington, Della Carroll, Mary Jean Smith, Florence Bradley, Annie Rose Bell, Hubert Avery, James Barbour, James J udkins and James Hines were members of the basketball team. Harry Obey, Eddie M. Sanders, James Barbour and Ellis Lee J ones played in the band. We even had an unusual honor, some of the officers of the Student Council were freshmen, namely-Etta Joyce Satmders, secretary, and Alice Williams, treasurer. The year seemed long and tiresome, but was indeed a very profitable and a happy one for usp So, with satisfied minds, we said, Goodbye to our freshman year. After what seemed like a very short vacation we began our sophomore year with seventy- five classmates. We enjoyed knowing we would no longer be called green freshmen, but wise soph- omores. Mrs. R. C. Dublin, Miss B. B. Jones and Mr. J. A. Long greeted us as homeroom teachers. We acted under the class leadership of James J udkins as president and Marilyn Frazier, secretary. Our class was still represented in all of the major activities, namely-Band, Basketball, Student Council and Choral Club. The year was soon over and we received our cards telling the good news-you are now Juniors! With sixty-eight Juniors enrolled we began the year with the most cherished event of the year in mind. I am sure you have guessed by now, yes that's right the J unior-Senior Prom, We knew of the expense attached, therefore, we started preparing for it early. Our minor events were the HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL and then the SWEETHEART'S BALL on St. Valen- tine's night. Mrs. D. S. Whitaker, and Miss E. L. Howell joined Mrs. R. C. Dublin as our class advisors! We were very sorryto loseMiss B. B. Jones and Mr. J. A. Long as homeroom teachers. The class officers were Ellis Jones, presidentg'Marilyn Frazier, secretaryg Joseph Mitchiner, treasurerg and George Benton, Business manager. After much thought and desire to give the departing seniors the type of prom they might always remember, we decorated the gym in the form of an ocean liner in keeping with our theme which was, Ebbtide. Our motto was, We Have Crossed the Pond but the Ocean Lies Ahead, As the guests boarded the J .C.T.S. Liner, we greeted them with pride and dignity. The prom was declared a complete success and everyone present boasted of a most enjoyable evening. Soon we were seniors, yes mature seniors, seniors in the fullest meaning of the word, Because we were mature seniors we enjoyed participating in the many and almost exhausting activities that are featured for the senior year. We had many class meetings to consider such important issues as class rings, invitations, gift to the school, the annual fThe Hawkj, Parent- Senior Banquet, trips and tours and graduation! Because of the untiring and our devoted advisors, Mrs. R. C. Dublin, Mrs. D. S. Whitaker and Miss E. L. Howell, we had all of the above activities under control. Our class officers were Joseph Mitchiner, president, Hattie Haley,.secretaryg Ellis Lee Jones, Business manager and George Benton, treasurer. Ending our years with fifty-five seniors. We can truly say, We have been endowed with much knowledge during our four short years. Experience and pleasures have been many, Yes, we have suffered a few sorrows too. Yet, we are indeed grateful to the Training school and its staff for the Training we received. Ann Hilliard 35 Historian . af ! We f hier- L ' f 5 xii i ll
