CLASS HISTORY lt was in the fall of l95l when something over seventy promising young fishermen boarded two boats headed down a long river toward the land of Graduation. On the Dock the crew hailed from Old Dock while over on Ferry the crew hailed from Guideway. Mrs. Ann Newton and Mr. Bill Ratteree held the pilots' wheel, and our class officers as- sisted them. Our attention was diverted from our fishing trip by mathematical storms and strong winds from English and Health. Nevertheless, a gay Halloween Carnival was in full swing on the Dock with Nellie Ward reigning as carnival queen. But all festivities had not come to an end, for Linwood Ward was receiving high honors on the Ferry for his live- stock iudging. l Having reached Sophomore Island we changed guides and boats. We now boarded one large, new and modern boat. Although we were getting acquainted with our new mates, we came aboard with a little more confidence hoping to have even better luck. Our four head mates were elected and Mrs. Ray Wyche was our guide. Not many storms arose during this voyage except some hard winds from English and some baffling under-currents from Biology. Time was also found for some sports, particularly basketball. We won a few victories which gladdened our hearts, and we looked forward to a better year. Our activities were a bit more numerous this year with Nellie Ward elected secretary of the Student Council. Mrs. Wyche honored our class with a Valentine Masquerade Party that will long be remembered. We had been fishing for nine long months, and a longing for land was overcoming us. But wait, around the bend of the river we see land. Why, it's Junior Island! At last we were almost reaching our destination. Just two more islands to go. Our crew had dwindled some, but Mrs. Wyche, again our guide, along with the four head mates guided us through the eventful trip to Senior Island. On this voyage we became aware of the responsibilities that lay on our shoulders. There were our rings to order, class play to be given and numerous activities leading to the all important Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were to be hosts and hostesses. Every member of the crew was now busy getting ready for the big night that we would present DEACON DUBBS. Charles long, who had the leading role of Uncle Deac. Dubbs, fell overboard, but we managed to get him back aboard in time to help with selling Verne Collier cream and shampoo. Suds were slowly but surely filling the boat while everyone's face was masked in cream. Our girls basketball team found time enough to clean off the suds and cream to win the Colum- bus County Basketball Championship. The boat was rocking and dipping, but no one seemed to notice we were so thrilled over our victory. Finally, we docked our boat at a port near Windy Hill Beach to entertain the seniors who accompanied us on the Horizon. Eyrely's Supper Club was the beautiful scene of our Junior-Senior Banquet. Everything was grand and will long be remembered by those who attended. As the ship moved on toward Senior Island, some of our classmates chose to transfer to the Marriage Those going aboard were: Marie Grainger, Alene long, Frances Gore, Beatrice Hayes. The river was now calm and in May came Graduation. We were sorry to see our classmates leave but were glad to be replacing them as Seniors at the head of the boat. At last, with thirty-three of the original crew, our boat docked on Senior Island, the last stop before reaching our destination. Under the guiding hand of Miss Mary William- son, we were fully aware of the task ahead. Mary Elizabeth Cumbee was elected first mate of our boat with Linwood Ward as second mate. Estelle Suggs ond Guy Ward were elected third and fourth mates. Dorothy Faulk was elected president of the Student Council. We, the dignified l?l sen- iors, went about our duties. The things we shall remember longest were the class play, publication of the POW WOW, class parties, preparations for graduation. Our hearts were happy, yet sad for this was our last voyage together. Our trip on to the land of Graduation was a tedious voyage. Realizing this was the last mile of the way, we put forth every effort to make it the best mile. It turned out to be iust that. Hey, Seniors, listen to this, an announcement from two of our former guides iust arrived announcing that the popu- lation of the United States had been increased. A boy and a girl. Again our boat docked for the annual .lunior-Senior Banquet. lt was wonderful to be honored in this way, every- thing fixed iust right to please us. This was a night never to be forgotten. Senior Day from the ship was a treat which every senior enioyed. No work for a whole day. The senior trip and many other special occasions in our honor made our last mile even more sentimental. Graduation at last! Our trip reached its climax with Baccalaureate and Commencement, leaving us ta step out on our own private vessels and make our way through the rapids, rocks, and varied currents as we go around the bends of the river of life. Aloha, underclassmatesl We wish you smooth sailing. MARY ELIZABETH CUMBEE, Historian
