Dear Diary: C(aSi Jh lor V SEPTEMBER 2 , 1950 Gee, what excitement todayl We green freshmen embarked on a new phase of our ed¬ ucation. 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
