School days, school days. H Dear old golden rule days. Readin', and 'ritin', and 'rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick. You were my bashful barefoot beau. I was your queen in calico. I wrote on my slate, 'I love you, Joe', When we were a couple of kids. We can hardly claim this as our swan song, but we did have bashful beaux, blushing maids in calicoes, readin', writin', and 'rithmetic, proud juniors after the banquet, anxious moments before the fourth period bell rang, Mr. Farthing's Latin Class, cool, frosty, October nights at football games, tense moments in the last few minutes of a basketball game, cold fingers from selling concessions, girls powdering their noses to have a picture snapped, a mad rush to get HI LIFE out on time, tired Beta Club members after the F.H.A. rally, the confusion of junior Play practice, and the con- tinuous hard work of making Halloween floats. It's of these memories that the history of the class of '52 is made. In the fall of '48 eighty-three scared, green, but eager freshmen began their education at Mocksville High School under the gentle guidance of Mrs. Wagner and Mr. Boose. Rarely has there been more enthusiasm than that displayed by these boys and girls as they campaigned for their candidates for the king and queen. In our opinion Larry Foster and Elaine Eaton were perfect to reign over the Halloween festivities. For the first time, our class was represented on the student council. Naomi and Glenda. our representatives, soon made the council aware of the importance of this group of freshmen. By our sophomore year, we had learned to wander down the halls in high school fashion. In our minds we were becoming an essential part of Mocksville High School. Naomi and jamie fought our battles in the student council that year. As a wonderful climax, Mrs. Crenshaw and Mr. Madison, our sponsors, took us on a picnic to Mirror Lake. Keith Leonard was welcomed as a new member of the class in the spring of that year. It was the fall of 1950, we were juniors! So many items of business appeared on our agenda that year it was essential for us to elect officers. After careful consideration by the class, the following people were selected to lead us: Frankie junker, president, Margaret Cozart, vice-presidentg Camilla james, secretary, and Billie Angell, treasurer. Before many weeks had passed, the treasury was running over with profits from the R. B. A. picnic, but the juniors were completely worn out. We soon regained our spirit, however, for it was Halloween again. The class went all out to try to push our candidates, Ann Hendrix and Johnie Naylor, over the top. We felt extremely important the day we selected those oval rings with sapphire sets. But it was two very special events that highlighted our junior year. First was OUR junior-Senior Banquet. Clowns, balloons, paper streamers, barkers, tumblers, and strong men made th circus theme for the banquet become a reality at the Lexington Country Club. Never could our dream banquet have come true without the capable advice and assistance of Miss Wall and Mrs. Tarlton. Never had our class worked so hard and reaped so much satisfaction. Another big attraction of the year that challenged our class spirit was the Junior Play. Again our sponsors helped, and again every member of the class worked to make That Brewster Boy a howling success. After three years of hard work mingled with the most enjoyable days of our lives, we reached the lofty height of Seniorhood. Because we had many important decisions to makeg such as, selecting diplomas, invitations, caps and gowns, and publishing the MOCKSVILLIAN, we selected Donald Hendricks, president: Margaret Cozart, vice- presientg Naomi Riddle, secretaryg and Frankie junker, treasurer. The class went royal in its campaign for the king and queen race. Billie Sue Brown's garage was a mass of silver and purple the day before the parade, and the following day Margaret Cozart and Charlie Johnson were truly a King and Queen seated on a royal purple throne against the background of a huge silver crown. We canvassed thoroughly the town during the magazine contest. With the co-operation of the whole class, we exceeded our goal. Cupid made his appearance in the class and claimed Lou Foster. Freida Forrest, Gipsy Clontz, Lucille Tucker, and Harley Howell. Jamie jones and Betty Frost Ellis fmarriedb, Billie Angell and jean Beane fengagedl, decided to continue their education. We also missed the faces of Lois Pennington, Charlie johnson, Betty Walker, jimmy Carter, and George Fleming. Now our school days are over. We leave our little red brick school house, but we shall always remember dear ole Mocksville High !!! As we are leaving we say, Thank You, to our principal, teachers and fellow students. ANN HENDRIX, Hirlorian.
