In Sept Class History In September of 1951 there arrived on the Campus of Logan High School 121 students who have proved to be one of the most energetic, versatile and industrious classes in the history of Logan. 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
