Although she has been with us only a few years, she has really brought us the many joys of school life. We wish to express our great appreciation by dedicating this annual to her. Mrs. Eatmon, we may be separated from you by time and distance, but we will never forget you.

CLASS HISTORY As we, the Senior Class of 1959, near our long awaited goal, we look back upon twelve hard but fun-filled years. In 1947 forty frightened children first entered what appeared to be a dark, dreary building, but it didn't take our first grade teacher, Miss Cox, long to put light back into our lives. Before long we actually wanted school to last longer than it did. For our second year of schooling we had Mrs. Boyette as our teacher. This year we learned many new things including how to write instead of printing. The following year we were divided between Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Proctor. ' In the fourth grade we were again divided, this time between Mrs. Yelverton and Mrs. Proctor. Our fifth year again saw us separated, this time in Mrs. Yelverton and Missjones' rooms. Our teachers for the 6th grade were Mrs. jones and Miss Wainwright. We were finally united in the 7th grade in Mrs. Baker's room. By this time we were really beginning to enjoy our school year and hated to say good-bye to our friends and teacher. In Mrs. Brinson's 8th grade Bill Boyette joined our class. We learned in this step of our elementary education that we must prepare ourselves now for the future years. Finally in 1955 we stepped upon the threshold of our high school years. Our coach, Mr. Stogner, was our homeroom teacher -no pilot-that year. We hadhim also as our civics teacher and we flew about twenty bombing missions over Germany with him as tail-gunner. Our other teachers were Mrs. Yelverton, Mrs. Eatman, Mrs. Shackleford, and Mr. Matthis, with Mr. Pridgen as our Principal. In the tenth grade Mrs. Deans joined our teaching staff and was our homeroom teacher. Mr. Stogner left us and Mr. Henderson became our new coach, Mr. Pridgen left us midway that year to re -enlist in the army. Mr. Taylor was our principal for the remainder of the year. We lost Janet Barnes and janet Roberts that year. Highlights of both our Freshman and Sophomore years was the Mother -Daughter and Father -Son Banquet. For our junior year Mrs. Eatman was our homeroom teacher. We spent most of the first two months of this year selling magazines in order to raise money for the junior-Senior Banquet. The Banquet and our trip to the Ice Capades were our most important activities in our Junior year. And then finally we were Seniors with Mrs. Shackleford as our homeroom teacher. We lost Mr. Henderson and Mrs. Deans, but Mr. Perry and Mrs. Benton took their places. Highlights of our Senior year were The junior- Senior Banquet and of course our graduation exercises. As we approach the end of our high school years, we realize that we are leaving behind some of our happiest and most enjoyable years. RONNY AYCOCK Historian
