CLASS HISTORY It was a bright, sunny, autumn day in September, 1954, when our rocket ship, coming from outer space, landed at, what we now know as, Foster High. One hundred-thirty seven seekers of knowledge set foot on the Luther H. Foster soil. This was only the starting point of a wonderful school year in a land of great wisdom, and perfect understanding which offered a variety of phases of knowledge. In the years that followed, 56 of our seekers of knowledge were unable to continue their climb up the ladder. Of course, we had a few celebrities along the way. In the Eighth grade, we were fortunate enough to have Gloria Bridgeforth crowned as Miss Bronze America of 1955-56. In 1956-57, Kathleen Neal was runner-up to Miss Foster. In our Junior year, Thelma Pitts was crowned Miss Homecoming of 1958-59. Our Junior-Senior Prom was the biggest event of our Junior year. The theme was Satellite Ball, based on outerspace. It was a knock-out! Hurrah! Hurrah! The year we’ve all been waiting for, our Senior year. We strive with this motto, We have crossed the bay, the ocean lies before us. To guide us through this year, our officers are: President, Jesse Randle; Vice President, Ernest King; Secretary, Kathleen Neal; Assistant Secretary, Lillie Ford; Treasurer, Gloria Collier; Chaplain, Geraldine Wilson; Parlia¬ mentarian, Lawrence Fowlkes; Sergeants-at-arms, Willie Jones and John Jefferson. We have worked patiently and waited for this day. We have worked together and played together, and now we have reached, not the end, as we had supposed, but the beginning; yes, the beginning of a new life and a new responsibility. Though it makes us sad to leave the old life that we have loved so well, we enter the new one gladly. The responsiblity is a heavy one but we accept it cheerfully. We know what we must do; we must keep moving forward. It would not be enough if we merely kept our civilization on the plane to which it has been lifted by those who have gone before us. We must lift it higher, and this we intend to do! We make no rash promises as to what we will do in the future, but this we do promise: What we can do, we will do. We will give you no cause to be ashamed of us, and we will try to make the world better having lived and worked in it. We ask for your best wishes and God’s guidance as we each go our separate ways. Gloria Bridgeforth Kathleen Neal Thelma Pitts Lillian Eppes 6
