CiLiAlS)S) inllESyROMa started the year off with a bang. (Kvery- one banging on the floor.) We thought the day would never come when we would get our rings. At last they came and everyone was walking around with his hands out so as to draw everyone's attention to their new rings. Our grade- parents gave us a Christmas party in the library. In the spring we began to feel more like Seniors when the Junior class honored us with a banquet. A few weeks later the Juniors and Seniors were honor- ed with a prom sponsored by the grade- parents. 7a Then came the Senior Play with all its practice. When the final night came we came out on top. At last came the thing we had been looking forward to for 12 years. We started practice for graduation. Some were glad to see this day come while others dreaded it very much. Well, here it is, the day has come when we must say so long. For we are now shoved into the wild—wild yonder, knowing not what is ahead of us. Historians, Rachel Correll Colleen Bebber Hoyt Rutledge

CALA SS) Tal ES TOY In 1937 we Seniors of “49 entered school for the first time. Our first seven years of school were what we considered boring because people in higher grades seemed to do as they pleased while we were always being bossed around. We finally struggled through to the eighth grade and were overjoyed when we learned that we could change classes. In °45 we “Green Freshmen” entered High School understanding the method the other High School students not used to get to class on time. We were so glad that after eight years we could elect officers for our class and after much thought we elected the following: Presi- dent Doris Dorton, Vice-President Oscar Beaver, Secretary and Treasurer Doris Swink. Our advisors were Miss Geneva Goodman, Mrs. H. S. Leafe, Miss Mary Louise Moore and Miss Lillian Barrier. The year of 46 came in a rush with all the students trying to succeed. Then came the thrill of electing new officers for the new year. They came as follow- ing: President Oscar Beaver, Vice-Presi- dent Clarence Stewart, Jr.; Secretary David Cavin, Treasurer Peggy Eller, Reporter Kenneth Sloop. Our advisors were Miss Marie Bolick and Miss La Monna Gattis. With the help of our successful with a advisors we were square dance at Christmas. This year, as you have probably guessed, we were jolly Juniors. The first 26 great event of the year was the Hallo- ween Play and Carnival which we spon- sored. Our Queen, Miss Margaret Bragg and King, Mr. David Cavin won first place. The Carnival and Play was a great success due to the help of our di- rector Miss Patsy McCombs. Then came the Junior Play of which Mrs. H. S. Leafe was director. Mrs. Leafe and Miss McCombs were also our class advisors. The officers of our Junior class were: President Oscar Beaver, Vice-President Helen Stewart, Secretary Hoyt Rutledge and Treasurer Kenneth Sloop. Due to the fact that the Juniors are always expected to give the Seniors a banquet in the spring, we followed the same method. It took plenty of hard work and guidance to raise enough money to pay for this but we finally did get enough and had some left over (be- lieve it or not). A few weeks later we were honored with a prom given by the Seniors. 1948 found us coming back for the final year. At last we were Seniors, those dignified Seniors, although not very dig- nified. This year our officers are as following: President Reece Page, Vice- President Betty Freeze, Secretary Doris Swink and Treasurer Kenneth Sloop. This year our last one and exalting year from which we were trying to achieve everything possible. First, we “5 had a skating party at Mooresville which
