Mrs. Garland Presnell, our first leader, is already taking a great deal of interest in us. We know that we are very ignorant about our new way of life, but we can say without exaggeration that we have the ability to learn. OCTOBER 18, I950 Six weeks have passed—report cards were issued today amid the usual joys and complaints. Our new classes are so different that it is hard to become accustomed to them. The girls are learning to sew in Home Economics under the direction of Mrs. Moore, and the boys in agriculture are learning all about plowing, raising chickens, and milking cows—the scientific way of course. MAY 30, 1951 Today ended a wonderful year. We had dreaded being the lowest form of underclassmen but the year passed quickly. Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing. AUGUST 28, 1951 Another school year is here and having earned the title Sophomores, we are A rainbow ' round my shoulder class. The boys always have more luck than girls, however, because our home room teacher is MISS Colleen Broadway. Our confidence in ourselves has grown along with our abilities, though a remarkable characteristic is still noticed in all the class members, the act of always talking, never tiring. APRIL 22, 1952 Coach Dave McClenny chaperoned our class to Raleigh where we visited the Art Museum, Gov¬ ernor ' s Mansion, Capitol, State College Coliseum and other interesting places. MAY IO, 1952 Another school year has nearly ended. The Juniors and Seniors held their gala Hawaiian ban¬ quet tonight. Twelve boys and girls from our class were waiters and waitresses, dressed in the traditional Hawaiian attire. MAY 30, 1952 We are no longer Sophomores! But as the mental capacity of our class increases, the size of our class decreases. Now it seems as if there will be only a handful of us by the time we reach graduation. SEPTEMBER 4, 1952 Another school year begins tomorrow and it brings with it the realization that we are Juniors and only one step from the top. Mrs. J. T. Martin, our homeroom teacher seems so interested in us that we are sure this will be a perfect year. DECEMBER 17, 1952 Today, we closed our magazine sales. We are happy, for now we can afford a banquet for the Seniors. JANUARY 12 , 1953 We ordered our class rings! We chose a blue setting, although our motto is Diamonds are a girl ' s best friend . MAY 2, 1953 Our swashbuckling pirate banquet came off tonight with a bang”. Pirates Blackbeard and Captain Jim turned honest and waited on tables; Dr. John D. Truitt spoke; Bill Jeffries played and sang; and we all had fun. MAY 20, 1953 The Senior Class held its class night program with the traditional daisy chain by the Juniors. Also, we Juniors had the honor of taking Senior seats in the auditorium, which gives us an idea of how it feels to be-Sen- iorsl AUGUST 27, 1953 Well, here I am again to tell you about the year that marks the end of our preliminary train¬ ing in life. Mrs. Howard Johnson, who teaches us English grammar, literature, and French, is our sponsor. SEPTEMBER 2 , 1 953 The class in appreciation to Gray Jordan for being such a wonderful Junior Class President, elected him Senior Class President. Donna Holt received her same position as treasurer. FEBRUARY 3, 1954 Exams are over and we are on the last lap of our journey through school. Mrs. Johnson, Mr. White, and Mr. Loy accompanied us to Elon College, where a tour of the campus, supper at the expense of the college, and a basketball game, were highlights of the event. MARCH 6, I954 All the annual pages have been sent in and we can hardly wait to see the result. MARCH 10, 1954 The new high school building is completed, and today we moved. Everything is bright and new, and though in a few short months we ' ll be moving on, we are happy at the prospect of spending some time in the new building. It ' s April 4, and we are just back from Washington! I can ' t describe it all. Staying at the Annapolis Hotel together made us seem like one happy family with Coach and Mrs. Alheim and Mrs. Roy Hodgin to keep an eye upon us. There was an unusual quietness in the bus as we returned home tonight (the first and only one since we left at 7 A. M., March 31st); almost as if the same thought had occurred to all of us, that all too soon the paths we have taken together for twelve years will soon be separating. APRIL 30, 1954 Tonight the Juniors entertained us at a Moonlight and Roses banquet at the Legion Hut. What wonderful imaginations our Junior friends displayed! Everything was superb and we shall always cherish the memory of this event. MAY 19, 1954 Writing the last page of my high school diary is more difficult than I had expected. Our school days have been so picturesque and colorful, that we try to assure ourselves this is but a foreshadowing of our futures. We have reached the top of the scholastic ladder. Most of us have attained this height through our own self¬ guidance; some were pulled; some were pushed; some slipped and are still climbing, but the memories of Dear Ole L. H. S. will stay with us forever. Shirley Daniel, Historian C lass Liberty, North Carolina May 20, 1975 Honorable Gray Jordan President of the United States Washington, D.C. Dear Gray: Since you, the President of the United States of America, have found that you could postpone those urgent matters of state long enough to join us and once again be emcee at our homecoming celebration, I ' m positive you would like all in¬ formation available about your friends and former classmates. Of course you remember that Edna Jordan, now your industrious and reliable secretary was a member of our class. But do you think you should have snatched her so greedily from the F. B. I. ? Oh, well, that goes under the name POLITICS. Donna Holt, you remember, started her career as a housewife early. Now she has two teen age youngsters. No one can say Donna didn ' t make a go of her marriage. Demaree Joyce is doing quite well for himself in his new hardware store in Staley, North Carolina. If you have time for reading the newspapers you know that one of the top scientists of the day is none other than Charles Hornaday. They say he is a wizard and can split an atom with no effort at all. Just keep the aging, but still battling for headlines. Senator McCarthy away from him. James Frazier is the fellow to call when you need to have the sink unstopped. I understand he is a first-rate plumber, and as everybody knows, a plumber ' s friend in need is a friend indeed. ' ' Last week when I visited the dentist, who is none other than Gordon Causey, I met Joretta Cox. In talking with her 1 learned that she is modeling clothes for Montaldo ' s in Julian, North Carolina. Evelyn Lowe, you remember, attended Woman ' s College. She liked it so well she ' s on the faculty now. Claudine Hodgin, who also attended Woman ' s College, is now head coach at Happy Valley Boys ' College. I can just hear her saying get out there and play like girls, I mean like boys. Our class contributed several to the medical field. Bill Kelly is now head surgeon at John Hopkins ' Hospital; Baltimore, Maryland. He has made wonderful discoveries in slowing down the heartbeat and pulse of those in love. Shirley Daniel and Doris Flynt are both graduate nurses and are now in Alaska working with the Eskimos. They say they don’t mind the cold weather but are having trouble understanding the Eskimos ' ug ug language. Mildred Booth is nursing at Baptist Hospital, Winston Salem, North Carolina. I was delighted to hear that Wayne Routh and James Pike are employed by you as chauffeurs. Driving Randolph Coun¬ ty ' s school buses was certainly recommendation enough. If you ever need the services of a farm expert just call on Calvin Martin. I hear he is an expert on all phases of farm¬ ing and, if you ' ll pardon my saying so, your agriculture department could use an expert. Elaine Broadaway is now a famous singer, featured on Gary Crosby ' s T. V. show, singing the nation’s top songs. Wade Shelton was the other musical student in our class. Well, he has just replaced Julius La Rosa as star of C.B.S. top tunes. Poor La Rosa lost his humility again. Juanita Wicker and Betty Stephens are working as defectives, pardon I mean detectives, for the F. B. I. Last week Raymond Marley and Bill Reitzel won the world ' s title for the fastest Hot Rod racers in the world. It ' s quite a change from the speed in which they got to school every morning in the good old days. Dewey Holt has just written a new song, What it was, was me. It hasn’t become famous but it does have prospects. Jim Patton now runs a big chain of theatres by the name of JIM ' S GEM DANDIES . He certainly should know the busi¬ ness from the popcorn machine up through his experiences with the Curtis Theatre here. So you see, Gray, that the Seniors of 1954 were pretty exceptional-each in his own way. There are some who have made a success of their lives already, and others who soon will, and still others who measure success in terms of simple happiness. It surely will be fun to get together and has over those good old days . Respectfully, Esther Overman Prophetess Witt and Jestci merit Friends of the Liberty High School, you are here assembled to listen to the last will and testament of the class of 1954. In the course of a busy life it has often been my painful duty to assist at affairs of this kind, but never before have I had the satisfaction of administering to the estate of one who in the last hours seemed so highly intelligent and so throughly alert mentally, as was the present deceased. While the breath grew every moment feebler and feebler, the eyes seemed to grow more and more intelligent, as though the wonderful sights of the hereafter were meeting and cheering the changing vision. All the friends of the deceased have been remembered and every gift has been meted out with wise and carefuTjudg- ment. We, the Senior Class of the Liberty High School, being in the full possession of all our mental faculties and having no fear of anyone before our eyes, not even the principal and the teachers, do hereby devise, will bequeath, and convey our various earthly possessions: ARTICLE I-- First to the world at large we leave the commpdity, which we have had in great abundance, and which the world sorely needs, our entire stock of common sense. ARTICLE II-- To the faculty we bequeath our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid, along with the peaceful days and restful nights which will automatically accompany our departure. ARTICLE III-- To the Junior Class we leave, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it, but, since it is expected of them, our advice is Grin and wear it. ARTICLE IV-- To the Sophomores and Freshmen, collectively and individually, we convey our power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished we are not able to say. Each one will need to work the matter out for himself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. ARTICLE V-- Next, realizing that some of our underclassmen are less fortunate than we, each senior has sacrificed some valuable personal item in order that underclassmen may maintain the high and unstained name of Liberty High School: ITEM I--I, Gordon Causey, leave my ability to play the great lover to W. D. Smith. ITEM II--I, Donna Holt, leave my ability to catch a husband to Barbara Hinshaw, since I won ' t be needing it. ITEM III--I, Bill Reitzel, do leave my ability to get along with the female population of this institution to Jimmy James. ITEM IV--I, Esther Overman, leave my ability to give the wrong answer in chemistry and stick by it to Virginia Meacham. ITEM V—I, Mildred Booth, leave my ability to keep my mouth shut to Ann Loflin. ITEM VI--I, Dewey Holt, will my ability to open my mouth and put my foot in it to Arthur Jordan. ITEM VH--I, Charles Hornaday, leave my job in the cafeteria to any one who wants to get in practice for Uncle Sam ' s K. P. duty. ITEM VIII—I, Claudine Hodgin, leave my ability to sell ads for the yearbood to Edgar Lineberry. ITEM IX--I, Edna Jordan, leave my ability to gab to Marie McMasters. ITEM X—I, Gray Jordan, leave my ability to make the hearts of the Freshmen girls throb, to Jerry Pike ITEM IX--I, Shirley Daniel, leave my secret passion for Jeff Chandler to Jane Ward. ITEM XI 1 --I, James Frazier, leave my charming smile to Bill Gilmore, if he promises to use it at least once a day. ITEM XIII--I, Doris Flynt, leave my title as cutest to anyone who can get it. ITEM XIV--I, Demaree Joyce, leave my plastered down curls to Ervin Workman ITEM XV--I, Joretta Cox, leave my flirtatious ways to Rachel Stephens. ITEM XVI--I, Bill Kelly, leave my he-man looks to Richard Kime. ITEM XVII--I, Wayne Routh, leave my ability to get along with the faculty to Roy Boyles. ITEM XVHI--I, Evelyn Lowe, leave my seat in French Class to Sara Cheek with the earnest request that she learn as much Parlez-vous as I did. ITEM XIX—I, James Pike, leave my old school bus to Jeff Weavil who had to put in so many emergency calls to Dr. Me Gill for his old bus this year. ITEM XX—I, Elaine Broadaway, leave my ability to catch boy friends, pardon, I mean a boy friend to Barbara Coward. ITEM XX 1 --I, Raymond Marley will my ability to get to school at the ring of the 8:35 bell every morning, to Tom Gilmore, with the suggestion that to avoid the stern looks of one particular herein nameless homeroom teacher that he had better make it by 8:30. ITEM XXI 1 --I, Betty Stephens, leave my ability to hold my man to Peggy Ray. ITEM XXIII--I, Wade Shelton, leave my masculine handsomeness to Bernard Booth. ITEM XXIV--I, Juanita Wicker, leave my Shotgun Breeches to Mary Brookbank. ITEM XXV--I, Calvin Martin, leave my football uniform (and cud of tobacco) to Charles Berry. ITEM XXVI--and I, Jim Patton Leave I To the shortest path, to the longest land there comes an end, but of the memory of my late departed client, the Class of 1954, may there be no end.
