C 0455 .Mdfory As we stroll down Memory Lane we remember a day back in 194-7 when eighteen eager students became green freshmen. We were filled with dreams and great ideas which we hoped to accomplish during our four year stay in Linwood High School. Under the guidance of our band leaders, Mr. Lanier, Mrs. Crocker, Mr. Evans, and Mrs. Cox, we had a successful year. Our class oflicers were: President, Libby Greerg Vice-President, Edward Yar- boroughg Secretary-Treasurer, Jo Ann Shoaf. During the year we had our first class party at Inez Wilson's. If you want to know how it turned out, ask Libby Greer. She really had fun. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we found we had lost Avonell Simmons and that Bobbie Jean Wrenn had joined our merry band. Our leaders were Mr. Gathings, Mrs. Cox, and Mr. and Mrs. Yarborough. Our class leaders were: President, Edward Yarboroughg Vice-President, Libby Greer, Secretary. Rachel Alley, and Treasurer, Darrell Pope. This year a certain Senior boy visited the Sophomore room often. For more information ask Ruth Floyd. Under the guidance of our very capable principal, Mr. Gathings, we presented Dotty and Daffyf, which we thought was a huge success. considering the inexperienced cast. After being told we had accomplished enough to move on, we began our Junior year which was quite eventful. Our patient faculty had somehow managed to live through the past year and re- mained with us. Our officers were: President, Franklin Burrisg Vice-President, Russell Newsome, Secretary, Rachel Alley, and Treasurer, Ruth Floyd. During the year we lost Lorene Beck, Ralph Brown, and Darrell Pope. This year a County Beauty Contest was held and we were proud to have Jo Ann Shoaf of the Junior Class represent Linwood High School. Again we tried our hand at dramatics and presented two plays during the year, Aunt Bessie Beats the Band and Hobgoblin House. We hope our audience enjoyed seeing these plays as much as we enjoyed giving them. The Junior-Senior Banquet given by our class was a beautiful success, and we went home with many memories. While we had much fun this year, we also had our off moments. That is, times we were caught talking on study hall. We copied more definitions than we once thought possible for VVebster's die- tionary to contain. Our final stop was in the Senior Class. VVe found we had lost Louise Coppley to Van'Looka- bill. Our chief guide was Mr. Gathings, assisted by Mrs. Cox and Mr. Yarborough. Our class of- ficers were: President, Russell Newsome, Vice-President. .lo Ann Shoaf, Secretary, .lean Sheets, and Treasurer, Libby Greer. First we want to thank Mr. Gathings for listening to our many troubles and colsoling us. Mrs. Cox, for taking Russell's smart remarks as jokes and for putting up with Cromer's continuous talking and Odell's sleeping. Mr. Yarborough for his thoughtfulness and con- sideration in helping solve our problems. or, shall we say, just for understanding us. Under the direction of Mr. Gathings we published the fourth edition of the Linden Leaves. We think the class of 1951 has proven outstanding in every way-Athletics, Dramatics, Sports- manship, and Leadership. As we think over our accomplishments, we feel our first pang of sadness. Now the big moment has really arrived. Graduation! Although many times we have longed for this moment, the thought of it brings a veil of sadness over us. We are reluctant to leave our classmates, our faculty, and our school, yet we must say - goodbye! l'VE OFTEN WONDERED -
