Class History As we the members of the graduating class of 1956 look o’er the years , chere are many memories that stand out in our minds. Our history is compiled of many small meaningful events and incidents; events that stand out vividly in our memories. When we as freshmen reached the shores of Logan High School with an enrollment of 140, we were acclaimed as one of the largest classes in the history of the school. We were the only class to be orientated during the freshman year. We were under the direction of Mrs. E. S. Anderson, Mrs. M. B. Stewart, Mr. T. E. Galloway and Mr. H. L. Watkins. Our sophomore year was spotlighted as one of the greatest. Losing a few classmates by the way side, our enrollment was 109. This year we entered into the “I Speak For De- mocracy” contest. Elizabeth Edwards and Erma Freeman represented Logan School . Erma Freeman won second place and a $25.00 war bond. Many of our classmates were in the chorus and participated in the Music Festival in Salisbury, North Carolina. Robert Howie, tenor solo, won a number one rating. This year our instructors were Mrs. J. S. Watkins and Mr. J. C. Banner. We began our third year smaller in number , but still had an enrollment of 82 . Our school organized a Student Council and our class was again well represented. Elizabeth Edwards was vice-president of the Student Council. Again, Josephine Asbury and Erma Freeman represented Logan in the “I Speak For Democracy contest, held at the Concord Hotel. Mary Cuthbertson was runner up in our Christmas float design. Our Junior class was a very prosperous one and several members of our class par- ticipated in the commencement exercises. During this same year, Josephine won the Junior Speaking Contest and the class sponsored a very elaborate and fabulous Junior- Senior Prom, under the supervision of Mrs. E. O. James and Miss K, E. Jones. Entering into our senior year with Mr. J. C.Polk as our advisor, our enrollment had fallen to an even 62 students . Logan School has been highly represented by this class. Elizabeth Edwards was president of the Student Council and also crowned twice as Miss Logan , twice as Miss Tigerette and was Christmas Queen. The senior class float for the home coming pa r a d e was most outstanding, entitled Seniors Glory. Classmates riding the float were Evelyn Wallace, Betty Johnson, La - Rose and Yvonne Griffin. Miss Senior was Barbara Oglesby. For the first time in the history of the band, Erma Freeman was elected Chief Majorette. We won the county wide Voice of Democracy contest for the first time. Josephine Asbury was the representative from our school, who won a $25.00 war bond. It is with a mixture of feelings that we prepare to leave Logan , for it has been a home to us for four fruitful years. We have made a strong foothold here in friends and acquain- tances. We pay sincere homage to all those persons who aided, counseled and enriched our lives and who have so aptly prepared us to take up our vocational interests in the world beyond the portals of home. For we are considered no more children, but young men and women going out of school life and into life’s school. By Evelyn Wallace Erma F reeman
