Through days that were sunny, and through cloudy weather. It is hard to part when friends are dear; Perhaps some of us will shed a tear. Many are the laurels some have won, But all have had lots of fun Trying to compete in things at school. Playing the game fair and not breaking a rule. We have trod these halls for many a day, And since we are leaving we’d like to stay; But time moves on with measured tread, And we must follow where others have led. Underclassmen, as we have received the banner given. Faithfully now we toss it to you. Ever hold fast to courage and truth, In the words you speak and the deeds you do.

When we entered the sacred halls of Mount Zion Institute in the year, 1948, we received our first glimpse of high school life. This was the big year ! Students from Everett and Mount Zion Elementary Schools met to form a new class--the class of 1953. Shortly after the year be- gan, our initiation faced us. The girls were required to wear men’s clothing and the boys were forced to wear girls' clothing, including highheels. Initiation ended in a week, but the torment lasted the rest of that year, for we were lowly sub-freshmen, known better to the seniors as “Jr. High Hiccoughs”. When an upperclassman was near, we were afraid to move. The next year, we felt that we were more nearly a part of the high school life. Everybody started treating us as if we were human beings. Many of us joined various clubs, took part in Glee Club, band, J.H.A. , F.F.A. , and other school activities. When we became 10th graders, we felt as if we were really living. We were beginning to feel our importance. We were not afraid of the upperclassmen, and we had been here long enough to ridicule the underclassmen. That year we had the privilege of serving at the Junior-Senior in grass skirts, bare feet, and much pancake makeup. Most of us tried our hand at Dramatics, but none proved to be Ethel Barrymore or Basil Rathborne. The time had gone by quickly. Soon we were Juniors. As we look back on that particular year, we remember many things --managing concessions at the football games, planning for and giving the Sweetheart Ball, presenting our Junior Play, “Inner Willie”, and most of all--planning our Junior-Senior. Our theme, which was considered very beautiful, was “Hitch your Wagon to a Star”. This year, too, some of us were initiated into the Beta Club. In February, we received our class rings. For a long time we walked about with hands outstretched admiring our rings and hoping everyone else was doing the same thing. Some of us were fortunate enough to be chosen as marshals and ushers at graduation. 1953--the big year for which we had all waited and worked. At last we were Seniors ! We really thought we were “the stuff”. Most of us who did not make the Beta Club last year, found the way in this year, and attended the annual Beta Club Convention in Columbia. We chose for our Senior Play “Pride and Prejudice” which was a marked success. We were guests at the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 1. The theme was “May Day”. Everything was lovely. We tried all year for Senior privileges, but somewhere along the way they “flubbed the dub”. Close to the end of the year, we began choosing Senior Superlatives, Mascots, Marshals and Ushers. This caused us to realize that our time was short and that graduation would soon be upon us. It is with a little sadness and a great deal of happiness that we lookback on the history of our class --the class of 1953! ! ! Class Prophecy After reading in my hometown paper, THE NEWS : HERALD, which was edited by my two former classmates, MARY ANN SNOWDEN and MARTHA McDONALD, that a television station was being officially opened in Winnsboro the next day which was May 26, 1973, I decided to catch a jet and fly down to see all my old friends. I had just gotten settled on the plane when there was a commotion from the front. I hurried to see what was wrong and found the two hostesses, SHIRLEY SYKES and BARBARA CHRISTIE trying to quiet the two eminent scientists, DR. JAMES GRUBBS MARTIN and DR. WILLIAM PAUL MELTON, who were arguing over some new atomic theory. I said “hello” to the two men, but could say little more for the conversation was already too deep for me. I learned just before I left the plane that HAROLD GEDDINGS, the pilot, was happily married to the former MARY FAYE YOUNG. When I arrivedat the International Airport in Winnsboro, I spotted EVELYN BUCHANAN and MAR- GARET COLEMAN, two very successful businesswomen, who owned the airport. They offered me a ride to the television station in their new Cadillac driven by their chauffeur, BILLY BRYANT. Theytold me that the television station had been built by the local architect, JACKIE BRANHAM. We arrived at the station in no time flat. We were early, so I decided to wander around and see how many of my old friends I could find. The first group I came upon were MARY ELLA RALEY, SYLVIA ESTES, and MELBA CAREY, all of whom were happily married. They told me that BILLIE JEAN DRIGGERS had recently opened the Driggers School of Dance for Tiny Tots. I really hit the jackpot in the next group for there were CATHRYN CATHCART, MERRILL JEN- NINGS, KATHERINE MARTIN, and BETTY EMERSON. They were teachers at the new consolidated school. They saidthat LARRY TOLBERT, PH.D., was the principal and had as his secretary, BETTY DIXON. They told me that SUSANNE CRAWFORD was substituting for the regular English teacher who was taking a few weeks1 rest after having taught ROBERT BREWER’S children. They said, too, that A. C. REED was teaching Math. Next I spied a group of women who looked as if they had just stepped from a fashion magazine They were: JEWEL BENNETT, owner of the Mme, Bennett Dress Shoppe, BARBARA MINCEY, who designed dresses, and MARGARET McMASTER and CLAUDIE THOMAS, who were models. I just had time to say a few words to BOBBY STEPHENSON, who had recently bought Belk’s De- partment Store andchangedthe name to Stephenson's Department Store, and HOWARD HINSON, grocery store tycoon. Thenthe show began. Firstthere was a comedy starring MAR LISE “FIFI” ROBINSON and JIMMIE HAYNES. They hadas their guest stars, ANNE MACFIE, famous mezzo soprano, and REVON TANNER, a professional football player. Time for the commercial and there were the PLYLER TWINS, ALICE and THERESA, advertising for Toni. Which Twin has the Toni?---I still don’t know. Then the great prima ballerina, SARAH QUATTLEBAUM, gave a superb performance assisted by two more great dancers, JACKIE ROBINSON and NELL BRANHAM. After the show I just had ti who owns the Pink Lady Beauty owns the Zippo Reducing Salon. What was my rush? Well, I in Hollywood. Big star? No, just GEORGIA WALLING, and BARBA popular than the Andrew Sisters. “The passion of prying into the fi striking part of the history of hi The next show was a real rr WILLIE MAE BONDS, who was rr Cast Will and Zestament We, the members of the graduating class of '53, having been found sound in mind and body, this 22nd day of May, One Thousand One Hundred Fifty Three, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament.
