CLASS HISTORY One sultry fall morning, a-jumble of students from Mineral Springs No. 1, Mineral Springs No. 2 and White Rock emerged from buses at the barracks which were to be our homes for six hours each day. Friends were separated and soon after, classes were started with - everyone literally, in a stew. Thus, we, the Freshmen of 1947, began our high school careers. After a joyous summer vacation, we returned to our classes with renewed en- thusiasm because our new school was soon to be finished. One drizzly day in October, 1948, we piled into buses and made the short trip to the new building. Arriving in the gymnasium, we were grouped with our teachers and taken to our classrooms. Exclamations of oh and ah filled the long halls as students viewed the full- length lockers, the huge biology lab, the home economic lab, and shop. Oh, yes, Mr. Higgins' closet was the center of great excitement. As our minds wander back, we find ourselves juniors. Hustling around put- ting finishing touches to the Junior-Senior Banquet, attending the class meeting which proved to be filled with enthusiasm, and getting our class rings, which were our pride and joy, all helped to make it a tremendously busy year. The students with dramatic talents had an opportunity to present themselves in the junior play, The Man In The Green Shirt. Next came graduation for the seniors of the class of 1950, and this year the junior marshals and ushers were chosen by their grades. Marshals were Barbara Greene, Lee Haley, Monteze East, and Sarah East as chief. Ushers were Dorothy Caldwell, Betty Fishel, H. G. Hancock, Nancy Frye and Wilma Foster. After another short vacation, we returned as seniors. Anticipating a year of ice cream and cake, we were greatly disappointed to find that we had an even worse headache than before. Class officers for the year elected by secret ballot were Louis Rogers, President, C. L. jackson, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy Cardwell, Secretary, and Dick Mitchell, Treasurer. This year we had -a very successful football season with Barbara Greene as the football queen. Also, we visited the different industrial plants here in the city. First, all seniors climbed into buses and visited Reynolds Tobacco Company. There, we were given souvenirs of cigarettes, pencils and smoking tobacco. Two weeks later, nine of us visited Wachovia Bank. In January we visited Hanes Hosiery Mills. Being able to take only sixty in all, many of the ones left felt greatly disappointed. Seniors getting married were Jane Ayers, Imogene Beshears, Eva Lee Grubbs, Hubert and Colleen Ward, Glenn Walker, Daphine Collins, Betty Spainhour, jean Bumgardner and jo Ann Neal. Several others have sparkling diamonds. So ends the muddled but joyous history of the Senior Class of 1950-1951. BETTY FISHEL
