Clases History To the Seniors of Kernersville High School--this is your high school life! The first important scene in the life occurred on September 6, 1952. Entering the main doors of K.H.S. were green freshmen scared of being exposed to the finer arts of learning. This was the class of '56 about to stake their claims in the wierd land of higher education. This was the beginning of four of the happiest and best years of your life. The first day passed in complete bewilderment. It certainly was a change from the grammar grades; you were now re- spected by the lower grades and ignored by the classes already established in this foreign land. The time this first day passed quickly as you rushed from room to room trying to be on time for class, and trying to remember where you were supposed to go next. Finally, things settled down, and you began to make your presence known. This was done by placing one frosh on the varsity football team, one on the varsity basketball team, two on the cheerleading squad, and two on the baseball team. You were also well-planted in all student activities and organizations. Your steering committee was composed of Mrs. R. L. Kuykendall, Mrs. Mary C. Idol, and Mr. J. W. Blaylock. The next scene opened about one year later. The characters were the same, but with a feeling of much more importance and a little more knowledge than in the first scene. Could this possibly be the possible! You felt that you knew for you to take over everything.

You took over the majority of the club offices, dom- inated all the athletic teams, moved into the new high school building, studied hard, and still found time to pester the rulers and make life hard for them. You lived a fast and hard life that year, then came the never-to-be-forgotten trip to Washington. Times like those will never again be repeated! Then, all too soon, your days of fun and fellowship came to an end. There was the last Junior-Senior Banquet, then Graduation, a time when all memories of times, both happy and sad, come to mind. The days spent here at K.H.S. have been short ones—days that can never be relived. These were the best years of your life, Senior Class. And now thank you, everyone; parents, Mr. Sigmon, teachers, and friends who have helped make these years truly Moments To Remember!
