CLASS HISTORY Four years ago we began a journey--a journey which perhaps seemed long then. Our goal--graduation. Mrs. Mary C. Idol, Mr. J. R. Brendell, and Mr. J. W. Blaylock were our sponsors that year. Before long, we had begun to take our places in the dif- ferent clubs and organizations, with two girls on the varsity bas- ketball team, one member on the cheering squad and representa- tives in many other activities. Ann Joyner came to us from Harmony, N. C., that year. In September, 1952, we continued our journey but with a high- er rank, that of Sophomores. Our goal still didn’t seem very near. Mrs. Corinne DeMarcus and Mr. J. R. Brendell served as our fac- ulty directors. Our student director was our class president, Jean Ingram. This year we were a little wiser and braver. Members of our class began taking a greater part in the activities of our fellow travelers. We were well represented in almost all the school organizations and athletics. One member of our class, Doreen Greenfield, was elected Homecom- ing Queen for that year. Joining us in our second year was Charles Poole. Beverly Entrekin left us and went to South Carolina. At the beginning of the third year of our journey, we really began to feel important. Our faculty sponsors that year were Mrs. Mary C. Idol and Miss Sybil Lambeth. For class president we elected Shirley Ingram. Doreen Greenfield and several others who had begun the journey were no longer with us. Joining our ranks were Bobby Kimel, and Francis Ballard. Our Junior year was filled with many thrilling events. More than ever before, we took part in school activities. There were three things which took the show--getting our class rings, the Junior-Senior banquet, and Class Night. Almost immediately after school began, we started sponsoring cake sales, working in the concession stands at ball games, and sold other things for the financing of the banquet. On May 6, 1954, we played host to the Seniors at the High Point Y. M. C. A. ‘Moon- light and Roses’’ was the theme for our banquet. Our hard work was rewarded by success. Per- haps not until Class Night did we realize how near to the end of our journey--the journey which had at first seemed long. That night we carried the Rose Chain and sang ‘‘Goodbye’’ tothe Sen- iors. In the fall of 1954 we began the last year of our journey. Though it was almost unbeliev- able, we were Seniors, ‘‘the high and the mighty.’’ That year we were led by Mrs. King Grogan and Miss Ruth Parker. Charles Southern was chosen class president. Since we began our journey, we had lost several members. This year we were without Moonyeen Wright. Becky Davis joined us from Waynesboro, Georgia. Carol Marshall was our homecoming queen attendant and also our Piedmont Bowl Queen attendant. Our trip to Washington was a highlighting event. Now we have reached our goal--GRADUATION. Looking back, the time seems so short. Reaching our goal has made some of us glad. Some of us have been saddened. Fulfilling our present ambition has only betterprepared us for a much greater one--life. Shaleg LT geen! Class Historian
