CLASS HI 'I'0IlY The dream of every boy and girl in the lower grades is to enter high school as a freshman. To join the parties, social fun, and festivities of a high school teen is the long awaited goal of a privileged few. The Freshman Class of 1952 was no exception. ln September, 1952, thirty-five excited grown ups entered Mt. Olive High School. There was confusion, class schedules, and hard work, but everyone was proud of his role. Our officers for that year were Rebecca Oliver, President: David Gillis, Vice-Presidentg and Shelby Jean Davis, Secretary-T reasurer. These proved to be very able leaders. Even with the loss of several students we gained enough new members to have thirty-five Sophomores. Our second year was much easier than the first. We had learned the rules of high school and knew what was expected of us. This year we could watch freshmen initiations and help to frighten them as they entered their new home. Though we were still green and growing , we felt like know-it-alls beside the freshmen, Never would we admit we had been such lowly things , The sophomore year brought the first glimpse of society. That year we had six waiters and six waitresses chosen to attend the J unior-Senior Prom. This was quite an honor! Making our first business ventures climaxed that second year. We were planning for the future. Our leaders that year were Rebecca Oliver, Presidentg Shirley Lewis, Vice-Presidentg and Laurence Wilson, Secretary-Treasurer. Beauty and popularity contests involved two of our members. Danny Sue Outlaw was nominated to compete with other highschool nominees for the title of Popularity Queen. Betty Ann Outlaw was sentto represent our school in the annual Wallace Strawberry Festival beauty contest, Our Junior year brought many changes, There was the J unior-Senior Prom, Halloween Carnival, Junior Play, and a means of raising money, which was our main interest. We had a booth during Farmer's Day Festival, sponsored dances after all home football games, promoted a bake sale, directed a Halloween Dance since there was no carnival, and engineered many money- raising campaigns, OnApril 1, 1955, we gave our annual Junior Play in the high school auditorium. This served as a great financial aid as well as amusement. April 29 witnessed our long awaited J unior-Senior Banquet and Dance! This was the climax of our hard work and plans for the privileg- ed Seniors. Our theme was A Country Plantation, and it was staged in the exciting enclosures of the Country Club. That year Joyce Daughtry won top honors in the county in the Peace Speaking Contest and received a trip to New York City as a prize. President, Rebecca Oliver, Vice- President, Shirley Lewisg Secretary, Laurence Wilsong and Treasurer, Danny Sue Outlaw led our still persistent thirty-five members. Our fourth and final year! All our dreams coming true. We were now forty full fledged SENIORS! This was a busy year, annual staff, class rings, Senior Play, J unior-SeniorBanquet, and finally caps and gowns. We enjoyed that final year and really felt like privileged characters. Everyone enjoyed our Washington tripg for once we could be on the bus and not have to watch the others leave. That year Tennys Warren represented our school at Goldsboro in the Miss Merry Christmas beauty contest, We alsohad the privilege to publish our own high school annual. Though it was a lot of work, we accomplished it and rejoiced at its publication, But most important of all was our caps and gowns, the symbol of a Senior. Our officers for that final year were Presi- dent, David Gillisg Vice-President, Graham Cookeg and Secretary-Treasurer, Laurence Wilson, Many of our memoirs of our school years have been omitted, for there is not enough room to print them. Still we will remember and cherish our school years as the happiest and best years of our lives.
