a MS PPR ee ae tore Se I i ee Class History It was the year 1956 that one hundred freshmen entered what was then the Franklin County Training School. Every member of the class was proud to be in high school, and was very eager to meet new friends and learn who his teachers were. The freshmen were divided into two groups with Mesdames Holmes and Keen as sponsors. Under the skillful guidance of the sponsors, we organized our classes. Elmer Tyree and Phyllis Trent were chosen Presidents of 9-A and 9-B respective- ly. William Board and Polly Wade represented us in the student council. The Sophomore year, 1957, saw a decrease in number. Our Presidents were Jeanette Clements and Phyllis Trent. New subjects were in store. They were be- coming increasingly more difficult. Elmer Tyree led the grand march in activities by being appointed Judge of the Student Council. Larry Turner, Benjamin David and Walter Stocall took grand honors in basketball. The class along with the choir and biology club, took a trip to Washington, D. C. It was very exciting and informative. Mary Ann Basham reigned as Queen of the May as a result of winning the talent contest sponsored by the Teachers Association. She was very beautiful in a ruffled nylon gown of blue as she watched the festivities in her honor. The end of the schoolyear was highlighted with a trip to Bowling Green, Virginia to support our baseball team in the VIA Tournament. Another goal achieved - we were now Juniors and one class. Elaine Smith was chosento lead us as President. Our boys dominatedthe basketball team with Spencer Berger, Donald Cooke, Benjamin David, McArthur Holland, Wallace McGhee, Walter Stovall, Larry Turner, and Robert Webb participating. Elmer Tyreeand Vivian Hollandrepresented thebiology class at Langston High School in Danville. Elmer won fourth place in the quiz. The faculty and student body were honored by having the school named Lee M. Waid for our most prominent citizen. The two most exciting occasions of the year were the Junior Play, ''The Slab- town Convention , and the Junior-Senior Prom. The themeof the prom was 'Spring- time in Paris. ' Both activities were thoroughly enjoyed by the class. The last rung of the ladder ---- The Senior year, found us fighting asetof standarizedtests. Planstor Parents Night, the Yearbook staff, the Coronation Ball, and the much awaited graduation got underway. A visit to the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College was both educational and informative. Class members participated in the work of Student Council, the Library Club, the Science Club, The Choir and many other groups. Walter Stovall was captain of the basketball team. Benjamin David, Elmer Tyree, Robert Webb and Wallace McGhee were assets to tne team also. And now tomorrow --- We look to graduation and to our places as citizens of America. May we ever live our motto, Never dodge difficulty: Meet it; greet it; beat it. ee
