This Class was under the direction of Mrs. E. S. Anderson, Mr.T.E. Galloway , Mr . H. L. Watkins , and Mr . F . Stewart . “Green Days” were hard days and a few dropped by the way side, but those left were drawn closer together. Why, we conducted ourselves like upper classmen already; on the athletic Field and hard wood Floor, in the classroom and in every phase of campus life, the fresh- men were outstanding. During our sophomore year, Miss K.E. Jones and Mr. J.G. Polk were advisors. Wilma Faggart, one of our classmates, won the title of Miss Tigerette and rei 6 ned as our Queen in the Christmas Parade . In September when we came back for our Junior year, we were fortunate in having Miss K.E. Jones and Mr. J. G. Polk for our advisors again. There wasn’t a single organization or activity , that did not feel the influence directly or indirectly of the class of ’55. Un- der the guidance of Miss Jones and Mr . Polk, our advisors, and Harry McDaniel , our class president, we started collecting funds for the J unior -Senior Prom . We thought our class gave the grandest Junior- Senior Prom in the History of Logan . So beautifully and effectively decorated was our Gym. .that we really felt we were in Mexico . During this year we looked forward to the Junior Speaking Contest as other Jun- iors looked forward to it. The winner of the Gold Medal was James Stewart. Run- ners-up were Lorene Bruner and Wilma Faggart. During our Junior Year, we were fortunate to have the “ Local Follies Revue ” brought to us under the direction of Mr. Mel Rennick and Mr . Roy Carpenter , Theatrical Proa ucers .We had participants from both the community and the school. Again our class excelled, for reigning as “Queen of the Follies” was Wilma Faggart. Troy Sherffield won first prize on a talent program, sponsored by the local chapter of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. He went to Salisbury to attend the Finals and won second place there. Robert Wag- oner won first place in the District N. F. A. talent hunt, which was held at Dunbar High School in East Spencer, North Carolina, and won second place in the state Tal- ent Hunt held at A T College in Greensboro. Margaret Louise Bell and Emma Cook were chief Mar shalls during commence- ment. Other Marshals were Marva Robinson , Emma Hicklen , Doris Horne, Patricia Marsh, Harry McDaniel, and Robert Wagoner. The Juniors presented a class play, which was entitled “Bound to Marry.” The characters were Emma Hicklen, Daisy Robinson, Marva Robinson , Helen Caldwell, Willie McDaniel, Paul Brown, and Mar- garet Miller. Now, to settle down to hard study and enjoyment of our last year as students at dear old Logan High. We started off with a new principal, Mr. C. C. Griffin as Mr. E. L. James, our former principal , who served us faithfully for twenty -five years resigned. Mr. Polk was our advisor and Robert Wagoner, our senior class presi- dent. Once again one of our class mates, Margaret Louise Bell, won the title of Miss Tigerette and reigned as our homecoming Queen; and also reigned as our queen for the Christmas Parade. One of the memories that will linger with us is that of the trip to A T College, which was enj oyed by all. During our senior year, we were fortunate tohave a Student Council, of which Robert Wagoner, one of our class mates, was president and Daisy Robinson, secre- tary. Now it is graduation time and it seems like yesterday that we came wide-eyed and green. We are leaving the Old Alma Mater for c ollege , jobs , military posts, and the like. No matter how far we may roam, memories will always take us back to places and faces so dear . This class is rich with memories and so as a group we are wealthy. Farewell, for a while, Logan High School, but the class of ’55 will live on united forever whether we are together, physically, or not. -Lorene E. Bruner Senior Class Officers Senior Advisor Mr. J. G. Polk President - James Wagoner Vice President - Harry McDaniel Secretary - Emma Cook Asst. Secretary - Patricia Marsh Treasurer - Emma Hicklen Sec. -to-the -Treasurer - Ruthelma Govan Sgt.-at-Arms - Clarence Jordan Mascots Charlie White Janet Smoot Class Prophecy As my first year of teaching the summer students at the New York Hillsdale High School ended, I immediately made up my mind to visit my old classmates dur- ing the fall , While sitting in Grand Central Station awaiting the arrival of my train, three men came toward me. I recognized them as Joe L. Pharr, James Davis and Paul Stafford, Pro-baseball players in New York. Charles Smith, pro-basketball player in New York, came by in his white convertible Cadillac and stopped to converse a moment with me. We were told by the private detective, Elizabeth Stafford, that the train would be delayed, because of a mishap in upper Manhattan; so we decided to go to the Blue Moon Hotel where we found Paul Brown as the entertainer for a two weeks’ engage- ment . When passing the Presbyterian Hospital, we saw four attractive nurses, Elaine Johnson, Betty Saunders, Georgia Forrest and Myrtle Forney. Returning to Grand Central Station , I fell asleep and had a strange dream . It seemed that I saw Ida Walker , Mattie Smith , Dorothy Miller , Emma Russel and Annie Alexander on the nursing staff at a local hospital. Leaving New York I went to Washington, where the annual doctors’ convention was being held. There we saw Franklin Miller , Robert Foard and William Cook. On TreinerRoad I passed the radio station WHIP and decided to stop. We heard a very familiar voice which I soon recognized as Ruben Parler, the favorite disc jockey of the teen-agers on the avenue. After such a dream I was awakened suddenly by the touch of Josephus Springs. I boarded my train to Virginia and arrived early. I went down to Virginia State Col- lege where I saw William Foard, assistant to Josephus Springs in the physical edu- cation department, also saw some stenographers on a state-wide tour. They were Nazaree Jackson, Naomi Mobley, Lorene Bruner and Ruthelma Govan. On Madison Avenue I saw Alexander McCorkle and his crew of brick masons constructing a YMCA. Harry McDaniel was art illustrator for a large movie firm on the same av- enue . My next stop was in Durham, North Carolina , at Duke Hospital . There I saw Ernestine Brewer as a laboratory technician, Marva Robinson, a child specialist, Emma Cook, a surgeon, and Clarence Jordan, a brain specialist. Clarence told me that Thomas Eddleman, a lawyer now, had a fine mansion on Pearson Street, and Doris Horne was his private secretary. In route home, we stopped at a down town service station, and to our surprise we saw Bobby Love , a mechanical engineer. Two hours laterwe arrived in Concord. There were somany changes to be seen such as a large dressmaker and design- er’s shop owned by Daisy Robinson, incorporated by Mary McClure. Ernestine Reid was the owner of an exclusive interior decorating shop across the street from Daisy’s . On the next block there was a tremendous beauty parlor owned and operated by Aggie Knox, Mary Wilkerson and Ella Love. From there I went to Logan school and found Dollie Livingston as secretary to the principal, Mr . C . C . Griffin; Betty Jo Cannon teaching typing and shorthand, Em- ma Hicklen as biology teacher and Margaret E. Bell as Math, teacher. Mr. Griffin told me that there were also three newly added faculty members — Patricia Marsh, 9th grade English teacher , James Wagoner , music instructor and Wilma Faggart, home economics teacher, I also found out that Alice Sims was Math, professor at Johnson C. Smith University. After saying goodbye to a 1 1 I wandered out on the campus where we saw Oscar Murray taking pictures of various clubs, classes and so forth for the senior class annual . Later Willie McDaniel , who received his Doctor of Divinity Degree from Living- ston College and now minister at Rock Hill A. M. E. Zion church, came by with the New York Symphony Orchestra. Troy Sherffield, conductor of the orchestra, told us that Leonard Witherspoon was teaching electrical engineering at New York Univer- sity and James Stewart was an industrial employer, owning a large cotton mill. My trip ended as suddenly as it began, and again I was on my way to New York. I am exceedingly happy to say the class of ’55 has succeeded in everything they set out to accomplish. As our motto says, “Look not mournfully into the past; go forth to meet the future without fear,’’ so let it be. -Margaret Louise Bell Tune- “I Walk With God” Dear Logan High, we love you so. We hate to part, but we must go. This our prayer, our humble plea, May the Lord be ever with thee. It’s true we’ve had some hard times, too. We did not care, for we still had you. We’ll remember you forever, And will forsake you never. We will not fail you as long as our faith is strong. Whatever road we may walk along. Dear Logan High, we are proud of you. You’ve stuck with us, and brought us through So now to you, we’ll say adieu. With trembling words, so sad. With one last sigh, we’ll say goodbye. To the school we love so well. Dear Logan High. n Class Song ur high school days are over, e hate so much to go e will strive to make our future bright, this wonderful land we know. Sadly, we hate to leave you, But our generous deed is done, In the days and years that are fading, Our high school battle is won. Still not at the top, but climbing, To a future of success, We will strive so hard to make the goal, No matter what the task. Oh! Logan High, Dear Logan High We will always remember your Name, As we climb the ladder to success, In different worlds of Fame. — Marva L, Robinson SMARTEST Harry McDaniel - Emma Cook BEST SPEAKERS Wilma Faggart - James Stewart Lorene Bruner MOST STUDIOUS Franklin Miller - Doris Horne BEST SCHOOL SPIRIT Thomas Eddleman Marva Robinson MOST DIGNIFIED Margaret L.

Cast Will And Zest ament We, the classof nineteen hundred and fifty-five , being about to leave this sphere, in full possession of a sound mind, memory and understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. First , we give and bequeath to the faculty restful nights and peaceful dreams . W e promise them a rest from nineteen hundred and fifty -five petitions . No more will we be called upon to bend our ha ughty knee to supplicate; no more will they be pained to refuse. It has been hard to have ourfondest wishes thwarted; it must have been hard for them to refuse so fair a pleader. They have done their duty, and they have their reward. But, O. K.! how much easier it would have been for them and for us if they had said, “Yes,” especially to senior privileges. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must give our course in senior English, and let me say that English IV is a course where you learn to do things. Now the members of the class of 1954 do hereby make the following personal bequests: Daisy Robinson wills her ability to sew to Blondell Jackson. Emma Russell gives her jewelry to her cousin Essie Gray. Elizabeth Stafford leaves her ability to talk to Howard Thomas. Mary McClure wills her ability to sew to her sister, Levada McClure. Margaret E.Bell bequeaths her ability to get along with others to her brother, Clar- ence Bell. Ernestine Reid wills her popularity and leadership to Mary Patton. Myrtle Forney leaves her slimness to Mary Ruth Miller. Naomi Mobley wills her sense of humor to William Clark. Troy Sherffield gives his ability to play a Trumpet to James W. Howell. Betty Saunders bestows her skill in driving a car on Walter Heilig. Emma Hicklen wills her ability to act to Mary Lou Moss. Dollie Livingston bequeaths her ability to play basketball to her sister, Fannie Liv- ingston. Patricia Marsh wills her comical talents to Margie McNeal. Dorothy Johnson gives her expertness in typing to Betty Ruth Ford. Clarence Jordan leaves his band suit for Robert Howie. Bobby Love wills his art in maneuvering basketball to Milford Woodson.
