CLASS HISTORY Now that the long awaited time has arrived and we are playing the r o 1 e of seniors In high school, we cannot help letting our minds wander back a few years. It was years ago, it seems now, when we were so young and graduation so far away. Little did we know then of howtime slips by and people grow up over- night. That ' s how it happened to us. Only four short years have passed but whot o lot has happened. Our first poignant memory brings to our mind the first year we entered high school. After being in separate classes for eight long years, it seemedvery strange to us to be one united group. We had forty members and what a happy year we had. Along with hard work aid troubles, we enjoyed many parties sponsored by our teacher, Mr. Bryant Tripp. 1 think the hl -llght of our freshman year to everyone was the party we had in Rebecca Murphrey ' s pack house . It wee a cold night in December but everyone enjoyed freezing to- gether. In 1955, after a long tol Isome summer , we began oursecond year of high school. Wehad a smaller class but with our same sponsor, Mr. fcyant Tripp, we again enjoyed a successful year. This year our favorite outing was a weinner roast at Farmv i 1 1 e Park. It was in the early spring and, after eating, weallwent riding. You can believe that no aiefelt likegoing toschool the next morning because we were allsneezing. In 1956 everyone was anxious to see school start back because we were finally juniors. How proud we were! We were under the leadership of Mrs. C. T. May. We presented our first play that year and al- though we enjoyed practicing it, we felt a little bad after it was over. We also planned and prepared o banquet for the seniors. We used SOUTH OF THE BORDER as our theme and had every lovelybanquet and prom. This year we were also given Hie privilege of going to Washington with the seniors. The week we spent there will long be one of our favorite memories. We had a wonderful time but it ended too soon. ' Realizing that we had only one year of high school left, we entered our senior year with tired minds but a great determination to be the best seniors Mrs. Olive had ever had and make ito year that we would long remember. Now that It is almost over and we have about finished making high-school memories we look back with little regret at the times we have spent together at Moury. We only hope that the up-coming classes can leave behind memories as happy as ours. Yes, it was good to be here and may the distance of days to come not obscure the reality of life os we lived it, amid laughter and tears, successes and sorrows, toil and leisure. Each passing year on life ' s journey will sharpen our yearning for the privilege that cannot be ours, to live once more our days at Maury. The Seniors of ' 58 DORIS BEAMAN Historian

CLASS POEM HOI FOR CARO LINA! Let no heart in sorrow weep for other days; Let no idle dreamer tell In melting lays Of the merry meetings In the rosy bowers; For there is no land on earth like this fair land of ours! Ho! for Carolinal that ' s the land for me; In her happy borders roam the brave and free; And her bright-eyed daughters, none can fairer be; Ohl is is a land of love and sweet liberty! Down in Carolina grows the lofty pine. And her groves and forests bear the scented vine; Here are peaceful homes, too, nestling ' mid the flowers; Oh! there is no land on eorth like this fair land of ours! Then, for Carolina, brave and free and strong, Sound the meed of praises In story and in song From her fertile vales and lofty granite towers; For there is no land on earth like this fair land of ours!
