From The Past . . . Now that we have taken our places as Seniors in high school, our minds often ■wonder back over the past. Several ■years ago, when we were so young and gradua- tion was so far away, we didn ' t realize how fast time passes and how quickly we grow up. Our first keen memory takes us back to our eight years of grammar school. We ' were in different rooms and had a lot of wonderful teachers. In the fourth grade, we visited theCarolina Dairy and the Fire Department in Greenville. This was ourfirst trip away from school, and everyone enjoyed it. After we reached the seventh grade, each class had a gym peri- od. Several times each year wehad parties at a park or even on the old faithful clay hill. In the eighth grade we went to Raleigh. This was a very educational trip. We didn ' t have eighth grade graduation, but everyone made his grade. In 1956, we entered high school. Our group was divided; the girls were under the leadership of Mrs. Tripp, and the boys had Mr. Pope as their leader. Along with toilsome hours and several class parties, our Freshman year was one to be remembered. After a summer filled with hard work, we started our Sophomore year with Mr. Bryant- Tripp as our homeroom teach- er. Our class was united into one group and we had a wonderful year. The highlight of our sophomore year was the Christmas party we had in the cafeteria with Mr. and Mrs. Bryant Tripp as our chaperons. At last we became Juniors. We were filled with high expectations and hopes of reaching our goals. On March 20, we presented our first play, Grandma, How Could You? . May 8, was the proud day we had our Junior-Senior Banquet. We used Moonlight and Roses as our theme. Our class rings were ordered and we received them on May 12. Thus our Junior year was successful. Our last year at Maury has arrived and we are Seniors ! We have presented our final play, Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost. Now that our high school years are almost over, we have no regret of the times we have had at Maury. We only hope the future memories will be as happy as our past ones. With all sincerity we wish to express our appreciation to our dear parents and teachers for the guidance they have given us in our past years. May we always remember our motto, The need to laugh is greater ■when things are at their worst. The Seniors of 60 Geraldine Murphy Historian 14
