THE BROUGHTON STORY Too quickly the months have passed, and now we find our senior year drawing to a elose. These passing months have given to us the memories of our last year at Broughton. These memories are like a story of a part of our lives, but unlike an imaginary story, this story has become a part of us and will always be treasured in our hearts. This is our story . . . the story of our senior year and our school . . . it is the Broughton story. You might say that chapter one of the Broughton story began on September sixth, nineteen hundred and forty- nine. That day the halls and rooms of our school again resounded with the clamor and noises of the voices and feet of some nine hundred new and returning students. It had been a wonderful summer for all of us, with lazy days at the beach, afternoons at the local swimming pools, trips to the mountains or other states or just taking it easy, but all things must pass and thus school had to start. Last year's seniors were gone, but a new crop of sub-freshman had taken their places. We, the new seniors, could hardly believe that this was our last first day at Broughton: and with mixed feelings we began to fill each day with memories of our senior year. The golden days of Indian summer, that we called September, were filled with the thoughts and plans for a new year. Our new coaches King, Ringgold, and Grad had already begun to plan, for on August 15, they had begun practice in preparation for the Greensboro football game. It was an energetic crowd that boarded the three chartered buses bound for the gameg and even though we lost, our spirits were high. There was a hint of fall in the air, and with high hopes we all looked forward to the coming season. Do you remember when we elected cheerleadersfwho could forget those aching muscles after practice and hoarse voices heard in evidence all over the school? It was a hard choice to makeg but after the final selection, our new cheerleaders made their debut amid the downpour of rain at the Durham game at Riddick Stadium. Not long after, we settled down to the regular routines of class work. We, the seniors, began the nominations for our class ofiicers. Run-offs had to be held in all the offices except vice-president and sergeant-at-arms positions. The big question of the election was the presidential decision. After a second tie, the class voted not to have co-presidents, and in the third election, Pete Jenkins won with a slight margin over Vincet Anderson. The word new was being applied to many things during this first month. The band had a lot of new items in the majorette uniforms, some new band uniforms and new trousers for the girls. There were several new teachers, quite a few men too. There were new plans for repairing the auditorium and all sorts of new interests. September was just the beginning. Like the swiftly falling leaves of October came the many elections and events of this month which were to effect our future months at Broughton. This month seemed to be a month of elections, conventions, trips, football games, and varied chapel programs. The first Hi- Timer of the year was published just a few days before we all attended the 1949 State Fair. The day of the fair was a gala day!! School was dismissed at I2Z3Oj and everyone had the time of his life on the thrilling rides, watching the grandstand shows, trudging through the exhibit halls, and eating everything from pink cotton candy to green dill pickle. It was not easy to face the reality of school the next day with those ffride- aehing joints and butterfly stomachs. To the smell of the burning tar in repairing the leaky roof, the underclassmen elected their new officers, as well as did the annual and the dramatics club. As for conventions and meetings, we sent representatives to the N. C. Stu- dent Council Congress in Goldsboro and the State Scholastic Press Convention in Chapel Hill, where Bob Williamson was elected president for the coming year. The Y-Teen Convention at Asheville was attended by several of our girls, as well as the music convention in Greensboro. The new annual staff began to work on the LATIPAC. Individual pictures were taken of all juniors and seniors. It was during this time that the National Honor Society tapped six seniors and five juniors into the society. Other Chapel programs that were interesting, included the g'Flying Sandersonsn and their acrobatic feats, Dr. Poteat's very timely talk, and Ovid Lewis' violin performance. The Hi-Y initiated io new boys into the club and about the same time, the dramatics department began their new radio program. All the clubs were getting into full swing and even a Broughton glee club was organized. October was a big month in the field of sports. The big event of the month was the homecoming game against Manual High of Louisville, Kentucky. We all remember the fun at the pregame pep rally on Thursday night and the open house for all the alumni on Friday. Following the eighth period dance on Friday afternoon, we held our colorful parade down Fayetteville street with bands, Hoats, and decorated cars. Even though it rained, our spirits were not dampenedg and we were all out to support our Caps. The day was topped with the dances at the armory Our Seamstresses Rembrants? Hunt and Peck
