' 1' 3' CLASS HISTORY Y Q.,- .MV , 4 A 4 3 Sixty four boys and girls enioyed the summer of i952 and looked forward to the open- ing of school in the fall. They were looking forward to being the first freshmen in the new high school building. Opening day arrived, and the boys and girls assembled in the auditorium for the usual routine of opening day. Mr. Lindler and Mr. Underwood were the homeroom teachers for these freshmen. Officers in Mr. Underwood 's room were: Presi- dent, Donald Boyles, Vice-President, John Tuttle, Secretary-Treasurer, Kay Long, Reporter, Bernice Burrow, Student Council Representatives, Lindsay Robertson and Barbara Smith. Officers for Mr. Lindler's roam were: President, Jean Wilkey, Vice- President, Duck Boyles, Secretary-Treasurer, Kay Carroll, Student Council Representatives, Billy Joe Boles and Ann Spain- hour. This year the school had a talent show, and the ones that presented the Manless Wedding from Mr. Underwood's room were very happy to win first prize. Carolyn, a student from Mr. Underwood's room, was crowned Halloween Queen. Helen Wall and Ann Spainhour were contestants in the May Day Queen 's Court. This year we were given nice parties, but the one we will remember most is the nice Christmas party we had at Mr. Underwood's home. We were glad to have some of our students to make the Varsity Team this year. We also had some to make the Junior Varsity. . We all enjoyed the happy days of our freshman year, and after another summer of vacation we returned to start our sophomore year. There were fifty-seven students to start out our sophomore year. We were sorry to learn we had lost seven pupils. Our teachers were: Mr. Odell Neal and Mr. Mitchell Fowler. The officers for Mr. Neal's room were: President, Richard West- moreland,Vice-President, Donald Boyles, Secretary-Treasurer, Doris Hill, Student Council Representatives, Jean Wilkey and Richard Westmoreland, Terry Hutchins and Betty Fay Kirby. Fifty-four of these girls and boys passed from the sophomore year into their iunior year. Again this year we were divided into two classes. Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Mills were our teachers. Officers for this year were: President, Rex Baker, Vice-President, Billy Joe Boles, Secretary, Kay Long, Treasurer, Helen Wall, Reporter, Ann Spainhour, Student Council Representatives, Richard Westmoreland and Kay Long. We were also pleased to have Frank Robertson as Vice-President of the Student Council. There were eleven of our boys on the Varsity Team, and we were very proud of them. Grade-parents elected were: Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Westmoreland, and Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Long. They gave us a real nice picnic, which we enioyed very much, at Reynolds Park. We'll never forget our trip to Raleigh when we went to see the lce Capades. Our grade-parents, Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Mills went with us. We worked hard in order to have a nice Halloween Carnival this year, and we were highly pleased with the money we' made. After we made this money, we all looked forward to our Junior-Senior Banquet which was held at the Robert E. Lee Hotel on April 29, l955. Everyone there looked nice, and we enioyed the food and entertainment. At Class Night during Commencement, we carried wands. Many of our Juniors sang at the Baccalaureate Sermon with the Glee Club. Marshals for commencement were: Helen Wall, Chief, Billy Joe Boles, Rex Baker, Frank Robertson, and Gloria Tuttle. Girls elected for Girls' State were: Helen Wall and Kay Carroll. The Boys were: Billy Joe Boles and Frank Robertson. At last our final year which we have all been looking forward to arrived. Fifty-one boys and girls entered this year with Mrs. Patterson and Mr. Lawson as our teachers. After we settled down we elected our officers, and they are as follows: President, Billy Joe Boles, Recording Secretary, Helen Wall, Corresponding Secretary, Barbara Smith, Treasurer, Shelby Ann Bennett, Reporter, Jean Hall. Our annual staff was: Co-Editors, Kay Long and Kay Carroll, Business Manager, Laine Ferguson, Sports Editor, Frank Robertson, Circulation Manager, Wayne Edwards, Art Editor, Harold Tuttle. Editor of the newspaper, King High Lights, was Gloria Tuttle. And our Student Council Repre- sentatives were: James Robertson and Jo Ann Hampton, Donald Boyles and Gloria Tuttle. October llth was a very happy one for us because this was the day when we received our class rings. You should have seen our faces light up! We were happy this year to have Jo Ann Hampton and Luke Lawson to represent the Senior Class as King and Queen of the Halloween Carnival. Jo Ann was elected Queen of the Carnival and Luke came in second for the King. After satisfactorily completing mid-term examinations, we turned our efforts toward the Senior Play. Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Patterson, we successfully presented a three-act play entitled The Boarding-House Reach, a comedy involving mass hilarity. Grade-parents elected were: Mr. and Mrs. Joe Boyles and Mr. and Mrs. Woodrow Tuttle. As Historian, l sincerely hope that each classmate has a prosperous future and will live in such a way that this life will be a tribute to our Alma Mater. BERNICE BURROW Class Historian
