Claw Poem Not just a phrase of conclusions Or jesty words to seem amusing, But, an inventory of sincerity. We, here, express our thoughts in clarity. Long may the twelve steps seem But just a mere portion of an upward dream Work and study as we might 'Twas only an obligated fight. The best of apprehension has been deserved As has been granted and not reserved. Let yet, happiness and friendship continue, Without schedule or requested menu. Class poet, Betty May 4-I X1 of ' L' L un-4 RZ N X 15

The next year we came back to our old school grounds but like the other grades we had our classes in the gym , Due to the large enrollment our class was divided. The larger portion remained with Miss Thompson who is now Mrs. Deviney and the others went to Miss Farlow's room. This was the year when we added Leona Coble, Audry May, and Mark Lyerly to our roll. With the thoughts of being promoted to the fourth grade, we also had the thrill of beginning school in a new building. Our grade was still divided. Miss Edith Causey had the large part and Mrs. Farlow had the same few which she had the year before. This was the year Nancy Lambert and Roy Garrett came into the picture. Next came the fifth grade with Miss Weathers teaching the same few and Mrs. Stuart teaching the other grade. Nellie Sullivan joined us in this grade. We entered the sixth grade with Miss Walker as the teacher of the same few and Mrs. Stafford had the larger group to teach. It was the same story in the seventh grade except that Miss Stafford became teacher of the large group and Miss Walker remained with the same group she had taught the year before. A new story began in the eighth grade because the two groups were reunited. Mrs. Redmon and then Mrs. Gibbs both taught a few weeks each, and finally we suc- ceeded in securing a permanent teacher for the year, Mr. Hinshaw. Hazel O'Briant and Annie Ruth Linville joined our group this year. When we entered high school we sure thought we were big ones . This was the first year that five subjects were required. Mrs. Redmon was our home room teacher and she also taught the girls home economics. Mr. Holt taught civics and mathe- matics and Mr. Utley taught health and physical education. Harold Flinchum and Gene Frazier joined us this year. Mary Hemphill was elected president of our class. We were all very proud of Clarsie Jenkins and Roy Garrett who received basketball suits that year. The following year, which was our second year in high school, Miss Cole was our home room teacher. She also taught us English, Mr. Holt taught us algebra, Mr. Knight biology, and Mrs. Redmon taught second year home economics. We began to realize the importance of making money, because we had the responsibility of giving the Junior- Senior banquet the following year. During this year, Delano Shepherd was our class president. Miss Cole aided us in selecting our class colors, which are green and white, and our motto, which is B2 . fBe Square.J Our Junior Year was important because we gave the banquet and also the Junior Play, Are You Kidding? . The banquet was held at the Alamance Hotel in Burling- ton. Mr. Holt was our home room teacher. He taught us American History and Mr. Suits taught us English. Mr. Ford started us off in French but Mrs. Griffin fin- ished the year. Mrs. Redmon taught us our last year in home economics. Our class officers for the year were: President, Mark Lyerly, Vice-President, Doris Arrington, Secretary, Doris Moore, Treasurer, Johnnie Greeson. Finally, after eleven years of hard work, nineteen girls and eight boys reached the last of the twelve notches they must climb in order to become a senior. At the beginning of the year we elected Mark Lyerly as President, Betty May as vice-presi- dentg Mary Hemphill as secretary, Jaynee Greeson as treasurer. Miss Swaim, oiu' home room teacher, directed the Senior Play, Hobgoblin House . This year we are taking French, English, chemistry, geometry, economics, and agriculture. We have been working on our annual, The Greene Leaf and our newspaper, The Greene Herald . We are hoping to make enough money to go to Washington. This year the Juniors are giving us a Valentine's Day Banquet. It is to be held at Meyer's Tea Room in Greensboro on February 17, 1950. 14
