CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1964, 344 freshmen stood apprehensively at the door that led to hundreds of spacious, shiny halls beckoning the entrance of these new additional members of the John W. Ligon Family. To some members of this new family, these halls were quite famil- iar, to others, they were strange paths to be learned. But for all of the new family, these corridors represented a network of roads which would slowly open for them trails to un- known adventures and new opportunities. Both the number of halls and their complexity of structure required the constant aid of the following guides to direct the passage of these newcomers through their new venture: Mesdames M. R. Cook, M. W. Blakely, E. L. Clark, M. B. Lindsey, S. V. Perry, G. A. Lee, O. D. Noble, L. H. Webb, M. D. Aldrich, B. P. Ingram, A. M. Levingston, E. D. Toole, E. H. Perry, Miss E. M. Yeargin, and Messieurs P. H. Williams, L. W. Herndon, H. A. Poole, and C. A. Haywood. As the ninth grade year began, the pitter patter of the feet of this wonderful family could be heard faintly down many halls, but in the academic and athletic halls, they were heard louder. Michael Dae completed the year with the highest average, and on the hall of football the following persons were making sound steps: Perry Crutchfield, Calvin Hayes, Alfred Poole, Jesse Singletary, Tony Evans, William Walker, David Byrd, Raymond Pow- gl,lCharlie Grimes, Phillip Mitchener, John Moore, Lawrence Collins, and trainer, Charles o den. During our tenth grade year, the new family was enormously increased by our broth- ers and sisters from the Washington School. Many of us had gotten our bearings and we had begun to explore many other entrances of learning and activity. Mildred McKinley, Gail Flagg, Yvette Faulk, and Iris Rogers had brought new spirit to the cheerleaders. The championship baseball team was being run by George Jones, Roger Baldwin, William Bridges, Raymond Powell, Lawrence, Upperman, Samuel Clarkson, and Lemuel J ones. The following boys began making layups in the basketball corridor: Robert Kearney, Charles Rodman, Archie Matthews, Charles Burrell, Lawrence Collins, Lemuel Jones, Tony Ev- ans, Alfred Poole, Earl Dunston, Jesse Singletary, Leotha Forte, and Charlie Grimes. William Blakely was the trainer. As we turned off the main corridor and entered the art room, we found exquisite paint- ings exhibited by Edwin Worth, Dennis Stiles, Delmar Graham, Douglas Alston, Emmett McNeill, Sterling Bert, James Jenkins, and Wilhemenia Graham. The debating corridor was invaded by Vivian Logan during the sophomore year. She was joined later by Delmar Gra- ham, Mamie Sanders, Gail Flagg, Brenda Hodge, Joyce Fleming, Eppmethus Williams, and Barbara Johnson. In tennis, Calvin Hayes. Edwin Worth, Emmett McNeill, Clarence Mer- ritt, Fabette Smith, Vivian Logan, and Evelyn Lewis made their grand smashes. The aca- demic year was completed with Evelyn Lewis making the highest average. The door to an outstanding hall was flung open when Delmar Graham attended the Governor's School in the art category while Evelyn Lewis attended in the academic area. By the junior year, our family had walked the corridors of many areas and they had also made significant contributions. The eleventh grade year was a red letter one. As we glance into the STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICE, we see Vivian Logan, Vice-Pres- identg Michael Dae, Treasurerg Carole Taylor, Secretaryg and Genese Wilder, Assistant Secretary. The hallway of academics is crowded by the following National Honor Society Inductees: Toney Bethea, Leroy Knight, Evelyn Lewis, Janet Howard, Carole Taylor, Frank Weaver, Michael Dae, Wilton Wallace, Brenda Mason, Clarence Merritt, William Moore, Fabette Smith, Iris Rogers, Mildred McKinley, Leon Penny, and John Moore. Likewise, the Mu Alpha Theta has witnessed the footsteps of Frank Weaver, Yvette Faulk, Marilyn Merritt, Clarence Merritt, Carolyn Lee, Janet Howard, Fabette Smith, Brenda Mason, Carole Taylor, Gregory Mial, John Moore, Wilton Wallace, Evelyn Lewis and Michael Dae. As we left the gym corridor, we proceeded to the track field where such noted stars as Leotha Forte, Lawrence Uppermann, Bobby Robinson, Aubrey Sanders, Dennis Stiles, Jesse Singletary, and Perry Crutchfield sprinted.
