CLASS HISTORY On September 5, 1950, ninety- two tired but happy freshmen entered the folds of Kernersville High School. Tired because of the eight long years we had strived in the old building and happy because we were among the first to occupy the new high school building. We were under the guidance of Mr. M. C. Dona- ue, Mrs. L. C. Hollandsworth, and Mr. Robert Eason. During the year, Mr. Eason resigned and Mrs. Mary Idol was our new teacher. New students joining us in the ninth grade were Joan Butler from Tennessee, Cleo Cal- houn and Doug Long from Colfax, Lewis Pless from Stokesdale, and Zeb Scott from Fort Bragg. We did very well for ourselves as freshmen by placing students on the majorette and cheerleading squads, the varsity and junior varsity basketball teams, and the football team. One of our classmates, Dianne Carper, represented Kernersville in the Piedmont Bowl Beauty Contest. We entered the tenth grade with seventy-five in our class. We had lost Dianne Carper to Gray High School, and several others had dropped out of school. Several students joined us during our sophomore year. Those students were Sybil Wrenn from Greensboro, Anne Mercer from High Point, Donald Bull from Colfax, Jean Wilson from Glenn High School, and Franklin Kiser from Asheboro. Mr. Donahue again was one of our homeroom teachers, along with Mrs. Betty Joyner and Mrs. R. L. Kuykendall. Some of the group were fortunate enough to visit the Planetarium in Chapel Hill that year. We started the eleventh year off with a bang working for the Junior-Senior banquet. Joretta Marsh joined us from Colfax to make our enrollment seventy-four. We were divided into two homerooms but worked together as one. We elected officers as a group and lost two when C. W. Faulkner, our president, moved to Mount Airy and Jolene Davis, our secretary, moved to Rural Hall. Johnny Mack Nelson was elected to fill the vacancy left by C. W., and Faye McMichael was elected secretary. Our Junior sponsors were Miss Alwayne McClure and Miss Ruth Parker. In the fall of 1953, we entered the Senior class as “rulers.” We were the largest Senior class Kernersville School had ever had, with sixty-four on roll, and we were determined to make it the best. We took on the responsibilities of presidents and leaders of all clubs and organizations. Joining us our Senior year was Ruby Phillips from Greensboro. Leaving us during the year was Rebekah Taylor, who moved to Floyd High School in Virginia. Johnny Mack Nelson was again elected class president, and Mrs. King Grogan and Miss Ruth Parker were our Senior sponsors. Again a member of our class, Sarah Flynt Larrimore, represented Kernersville in the Piedmont Bow! Beauty Contest. We enjoyed many parties during the year and the Junior-Senior banquet—this time at the Juniors’ expense—but one thing that will linger in our memories the longest is our trip to Washington. We have had fun along with our studies, but now we want to thank all our teachers and our Principal for guiding us and helping us make decisions the past four years. We say good-bye to dear ole KHS with memories of happy days never to be forgotten. Mary Stephens Class Historian 19
