CLASS HISTORY As the class began its journey, all around it hung storm clouds, great, threatening clouds of hard work. But we knew that on passing through this great storm we would find a rainbow and at the end of the rainbow our pot of gold--graduation. We sixty-nine had three leaders to start us on our long journey to the rainbow. They were Mrs. Walker, Miss Enzor, and Mr. Blackrnon. During this first year we worked hard, fell into the high school routine, and at the end of the year we were cheered on by the fact that a few of the darkest clouds, such as algebra and English, had disappeared. Some of our fellow students felt that they could not weather the storm, while others left us to attend different schools. Therefore, our number at the beginning of our Sophomore year was down from sixty-nine to fifty-seven. Our leaders this year were Miss Atkins and Mrs. O'Quinn. During the year members of our class entered the Beta Club, became members of the football, basketball, and baseball teams, and were placed on the Lillingtonian and Annual Staffs. We worked hard and at the end of the year were voted by the faculty the outstanding class in high school. Our Junior year began with the storm not so dark as before. Our number was smaller than it had been, but we were as eager as ever to make our mark in high school. This year we were under the guidance of Miss Hockaday and Mrs. O'Quinn. Our president and our vice-president were Marion Byrd and Jane Cranford. We really worked all year. We sold Christmas cards and magazines and furniture polish. In November our class presented a very successful play, Love Is Too Much Trouble. In April part of our class went to the Beta Convention in Asheville, and later in the month we gave the Seniors a banquet with the theme Moonlight and Roses. 'This same year we ordered our class rings, chose our motto, Today we follow, tomorrow we lead, and our class colors, those of the rainbow. At comrnencement we provided the mar- shals, who were Betty Jo Johnson, Chief, Sarah Kelly, Jane Cranford, Lloyd Coleman, and Marion Byrd. The whole class was privileged to participate in the graduation exercises. And now we are in the last year of our journey. We are pleased to have Miss Hockaday as our leader and Ann Johnson as our president. The sky is clearing for us, and we know that in the distance is the rainbow, and at the end of the rainbow our pot of gold--graduation. As we look back we see the things we have accomplished, remember the wonderful times spent together, and realize that we can never recapture this wonderful part of our life. But now and then through the years we shall return in memory to walk these halls, sit in our classrooms, and talk with our friends. We are proud of our accomplishments and realize that they would have been impossible without the aid of our parents and the faculty. This pot of gold, graduation, is only the first of many we, the class of '54, hope to attain through life. Some of the others are graduation from college and success in business and social life.
