Class History The Years Pass Swiftly Full of curiosity and eager to get started on the long anticipated High School Career, 109 playful youngsters boarded the Logan F. S. J. S. Superliner in September, 1950, Everything seemed different from the way we had experienced it, therefore we had to make ourselves dif- ferent in certain respects. Our journey was guided by four teachers, Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Polk, Mr. Foster and Mr. Galloway. This was a very successful term for all of us, but we were very scared, and nothing very exciting ever happened to us. In the fall of 1951, there stood a beautiful figure in the high school port, and oh! how we were inspired. It was our wonderful F. S. J. S. Model, waiting for its passengers. Once more we were aboard, off on our second flight. Over the trees, through the clouds we once more landed on the campus of Logan School immediately before daybreak. After waiting around for a period of time, we heard the sound of the bell, which meant to report to homerooms. This was our second year in high school. We were now sophomores. Our class was the first to go to the Southern States Fair. We were proud of Mae Sue Glenn, being crowned as “Miss Tigerette.” That same year our band went to Washington, taking ten sophomores among whom were Vivian Scott, Betty Shinn, Carrie Lloyd, Helena Douglas, Hubert Washington, Eugene McCain, Mason Jordan, Robert Wallace, Fred Brown and Frank Brown. In May of 1952, we were the first class to sponsor the sophomore “Twilight Ball,” which was enjoyed by everyone. For most of us, this was our first formal dance. The ones who worked so patiently with us throughout this year were Miss K. E. Jones and Mr. J. G. Polk. In the fall of 1952, with Miss Edwards and Mr. Banner as our co-pilots, we soared off again on our faithful Logan Superliner into the junior year. How happy we were in spite of the fact that this was the hardest year of all years. Much more was required of us, and many things were compulsory. We worked very hard trying to give the seniors a prom that wouldn’t be forgotten for many years. In May, 1953, this exciting, happy time came. In the spring also came the commence- ment time, and it was now time to name the marshals selected for their high scholastic attain- ment. The very fortunate persons were Chief Marshals, Cora Walker and Thelma Sadler; Mar- shals were Marion Boger, Clarence Handy, Helena Douglas, Carrie Lloyd, Vivian Scott and Virginia Miller. But before spring and its excitement, we had completed many activities of which we were all proud. A large number of our classmates participated in the contests offered. The first contest of the year was the “I Speak for Democracy Contest.” Our participants in the semi- finals were Cora Walker, Angelo Carvana, Thelma Sadler, Naomi Mobley. Cora Walker and Angelo Carvana went to the finals. Later the N. F. A. sponsored the Green Pastures Contest. “Agricultural Marketing” was the subject. Clarence Handy, Angelo Carvana and Cora Walker competed in Kannapolis. Still later in the term our social science department gave us an op- portunity to participate in “World Peace Contest.” Cora Walker, Thelma Sadler, Helena Douglas and Vivian Scott took advantage of this one but a senior won the honor of representing our school at J. C. Smith University. After a period of time “the contest of contests” which no one could refuse came about--the annual “Junior Speaking Contest.” Nine persons went to the finals. They were Hubert Washington, who won the gold medal, Carrie Lloyd and Thelma Sadler, second and third prizes. Now, the plane has taken its final flight; we have reached our destination, the senior class. At the beginning of the year, Carrie Lloyd was elected president. For this we have struggled a long time. Some may never experience a graduation again. This year has also been a hard year, but a very successful one. Noteworthy in our early senior days was our trip to A. T. College, where we were enter- tained with a whole day of activities. We shall never forget this trip. Many contests have been offered to us, but the one we had taken most interest in was the “I Speak for Democracy” contest of which Cora Walker was one of the winners. The winning speeches were delivered at the Hotel Concord. This year the school paper has once more been organized. Seniors who are on the Log staff are Cora Walker, Helena Douglas and Montesse Parker. Our senior class in the past has been very active and cooperative. We have every hope that the members will continue to demonstrate good qualities in the future. The one who helped us make everything possible during the past year is Mrs. E, O. James. Now, we have made our last flight. We must leave room for others to journey forward in this trusted old ship. - -Cora Walker --Montesse Parker
