CLASS HISTORY M ln 1946, trembling somewhat, but determined to make good, about sixty freshmen entered high school. For four years these freshmen have striven for the day which now approaches-graduation day. Our class advisors were Miss Kuhn and Mr. Shive. The student Council representatives from our class were Rose Watts, June Fortune, Katrina Hammill, and Bobby McAllister. During our freshman year many members of the class joined various clubs and athletic teams. This was the year the F.H.A. Club was organized. We were out of school only a short time when the bell rang again for another year. During our Sophomore year, our ad- visors were Miss Cox and Miss Sides. Although we were a divided group, we chose class oflicers. The president of the two sections were June Fortune and Bobby McAllister. The following fall found us juniors ready for any task set before us. All of us realized that half of our high school days were over. Our new leaders were Mrs. Harbison and Miss Sowell. The class oificers were: President, Bobby McAllister, Vice-President, Betty Gillespieg Secretary, Jerry Harwoodg and Treasurer, Billie Cline. The two student council representatives from our class were Doris Barrier and Rose Watts. During our eleventh year, we sponsored the Junior-Senior banquet, which will always be happily recalled by those who attended. A three-act farce, The Daffy Dills, was presented by twelve of us Juniors. The directors were Mrs. Harbison and Miss Sowell, and students taking part were: Gilbert Heilig III, Rose Watt, M. L. Cline, Billie Cline, john Suther, Jean Lowder, Marie Litaker, Jerry Harwood, June Fortune, Edward Crowell, Betty Gillespie, and Katrina Hammill. A week or two before school closed, a bus load of us took a day's trip to the mountains in Asheville. We visited the Biltmore Estate. The group of juniors who went thoroughly enjoy the trip. The night following the close of school we had a hay-ride and Weiner roast. For many of us, this was the last time we saw some of our classmates until the first day of school during our Senior year. At last, we are Seniors! The final round and the most important, for many of us are receiving our last instruction in school and shall enter into business upon graduation. In our Senior Class there are forty-eight members. We are happy again to have as our class advisors-Mrs. Harbison and Miss Sowell. Our class officers are: President, Gilbert Heilig III, Vice-President, Bill Watts, Secretary, Marvin I-Ioneycuttg and Treasurer, Bobby McAllister. The class sponsored a float in two Christmas paradesg the one at Concord, and the other at Kannapolis. For our Float, we chose to use the Manger scene with a chorus. At Concord we won third place, and at Kannapolis we won second place. We were very proud of winning prizes in each parade. Billie Cline, one of our Seniors, who had been crowned queen at the High School Car- nival, preceded our float in a beautiful Buick Convertible. Now we have reached the hour we have looked forward to for twelve years-the hour we receive our diplomas. Our high school years are at an end, and we are proud of the record which we have left behind. Although we are proud and happy, we are also sadg for our school days together are over. We sincerely hope that the Senior Class of 1950 has helped in some way to improve our school. JEAN LOWDER, Historian. anim Ufass We, the Class of 1950, are glad If ever on trial for the problems at hand, For all of the carefree life we've had. Always let honesty take the stand. You and I together have fought. We know not what tomorrow will bring: For love and Happiness we all have sought. To some success and happiness, to some a tragic thing. Now is the end of our happy school days. Though your burdens be many and your joys seem few, May your lives be filled with blessings, These are the things God intended for you. As we travel our chosen ways. So, Let not your heart be troubled, I hope your joys will be many Neither let it be afraid, And your heartaches very few. For such experiences we're richly repaid. These are my best Wishes, in the future, for you. And when out of this earthly life you must bow, And now, as The old order changeth, You shall hear our Master's welcome, Yielding place to new, Well done, my child, Enter thou. Let us live our lives as we've been taught to do. MARY Lois SAP?
