CLASS HISTORY In September 1960, 120 awe-struck, but enthusiastic eighth graders began a long, sometimes wearisome struggle toward a goal, which at that time seemed as lofty as the stars. Although we were new, several of us represented Luther Foster very well. William Bass, III won first place in a talent contest; Rose Jones, Emma Jones and Anna Fowlkes won in the District Math-Science Conference and Kenneth Woodson won in a District Public Speaking Contest. Calvin Wilson and Garnette Christopher made the All State Choir. v In September 1961, we returned to Dear Old Foster. Those who continued to excel were William Bass, III, talent; Calvin Wilson, Garnette Christopher, Choir; Kenneth Woodson, N.F.A. We also participated in the Athletic Activities. In our Sophomore year we participated in the Math-Science Confer¬ ence, N.F.A., SPA, Choir, Athletics and Industrial Arts. Then came our most exciting year, the Junior year. That year twelve of us were initiated into the Elite Chapter of the National Honor Society and Jacqueline Tucker was crowned Miss Foster, of that we were very proud. We also presented a talent show, Top Talent of the Year which was very successful. The Prom we gave the class of 64 was centered around the Rain¬ bow. Indeed it was a gala affair. At intermission Sarah Marshall was crowned Queen of the Prom. Several juniors were on the first team of the 1964 Second Place Championship Baseball Team. We have now reached the zenith of our high school career. We shall let this year speak for itself. We realize that without the guidance, inspiration, and belief of you, our parents and faculty, these accom¬ plishments would have been impossible. As we approach the end of the beginning we realize that the years have gone by so rapidly. We the Seniors of 1965 are leaving dear old Foster, we hope that in our passing we have achieved something of value. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And parting, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. William Bass, III Kenneth Woodson 12

Colors: Pink Black CldSS Flower: Pink Carnation Motto: Tomorrow ' s End Will Depend On What Yon Begin Today CLASS POEM Departing from you dear Foster Almost seems untrue But yet we depart with happy hearts Knowing that we have a specific job to do. We have had many problems And have shed many tears So we shall never forget you, Foster And those enjoyable years. As Seniors, we can but say That this is the end We have only reached the beginning And our goal is yet to win. But we will not give up We ' ll reach our goal one day But we ' ll always remember, Foster That it was you, who kept us from astray. So as we depart from you We will leave a concluding thought Be not the first to cast the old aside, Be not the last on which the new is tried. Margaret Lewis CLASS SONG Tune: O Tannenbaum Standing in structure bold and brave We hail to thee, our Alma Mater. Above all others we ' ll observe That thou hast bought us thus far. With sorrow and joy, we leave thee not To strive for better things in life Our efforts then shall always be Pure in heart, with thoughts of thee. Chorus: The Class of 1965 sings praises To dear Foster High We ' ll always remember thee, Our Alma Mater, dearly. Shirley Neal Mildred Blackwell 13
