Class History The date of September 6, 1952, will always be alive in our minds; for on this day, one hun¬ dred and two boys and girls entered into an entirely new phase of learning. We began our high school career at the great Luther H. Foster High School. The mere thought of being eighth graders in this great school caused us to fairly bubble with enthusiasm and joy. Our first year was very enjoyable, interesting, and indeed, profitable. At the end of the year, we were ready for the oncoming challenge. Our Freshman year required much more thought, work, and study than our first year at Luther H. Foster High, but we had the fighting spirit and won that first battle. We participated in many activities that were held in the school. Our program helped us to depart happily, look¬ ing forward to a joyous vacation. As our Sophomore year began to unfold, our achievements were many. We had become entirely accustomed to our roles in the Foster family. We entered our Junior year with several wise proverbs passing through our minds, but the one which made the deepest impression was, Always look ahead and the shadows will fall be¬ hind you. Even though a great many of our classmates were no longer in school, the remainder of us were determined to strive on. Our Junior-Senior Prom was a great success. This big event was centered around the theme, Moonlight and Roses. It was given in honor of our first graduates from the twelfth grade from Luther H. Foster. On September 7, 1956, the remaining forty-four of us became Seniors of Luther H. Foster High. With this thought in mind, Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?”, the Seniors of the year 1956-57 buckled down, trying to accomplish all they could in their last year at Foster High. The class was headed by the following efficient officers: President, James Dyson; Vice Presi¬ dent, Frank Tucker; Secretary, Shirley Dobbins; Assistant Secretary, Shirley Peace; Treasurer, Rudolph Wilson; Chaplain, Barbara Sallard; Parliamentarian, Lula Johnson; Reporter, Karen Carter; Sergeant-at-Arms, Benjamin Neal. It was a pleasure for the Senior Class to have one of its members, Inez Harris, a very charming young lady, as Miss Homecoming of 1956-57. Now, as we are about to end our career at Foster High, we pause to say how thankful we are to our principal, Mr. J. B. Woodson; our sponsors, and all the members of the faculty for their help which was greatly needed. We give thanks to our parents for the fine start they gave us in life. We also give thanks to God, for without His help we could not have made it thus far. We ask for your best wishes and God’s guidance as we each go our separate way in the future. Mary J. Woodson Barbara Robertson
