UFFICERS FULLER HONEYCUTT President BILLY SIMMONS Vice-President FRANCINE WILKERSON Secretary ELLEN MAcK1N'rosH Treasurer PETE Cmivros Sergeant-at-Arms With an unassuming dig- nity acquired after the class of '59 graduated, and the class of '62 joined the ranks of the student body, the seniors have occupied the places of promi- nence among the student body. They have held the most important offices. They have shown they could be leaders as well as followers. In every phase of extra cur- ricular activity and scholastic endeavor they have been tested and found competent. After careful consideration Fuller Hunnicut was elected president, Billy Simmons, vice-president, Francine Wil- kerson, secretary, Ellen Mac- intosh, treasurer, and Pete Chimos, sergeant-at-arms. With the help of Mr. Holli- day, Mr. Holyfield, Mrs. Sand- ling, and Mr. Butler, the class carried out a guidance pro- gram that enabled each senior to have a better idea of what opportunity lies ahead after graduation. First there were Kuder tests, college boards, lectures on liberal arts, tech- nical college training, mili- tary information and business. Then Mike Payne was chosen chairman of College Day. Later Pat and Alec Lee headed the work of Career Day. Be- fore the beginning of second semester almost all the seniors had what they thought were definite plans for the days after gradua- tion Seventeen seniors demonstrated their scholastic ability by achiev- ing enough success to be in the finals of the National Merit examina- tions. They were Susie Simmons, Ellen Mackintosh, Carolynn Smith, Jo Anna Jeffries, Sandra Estes, Marcia Fountain, Mary Ann Haynes, Lyn Ogburn, John Brantley, Jim Moffitt, Mike Payne, David Williams, Johnny Koonce, and David Perry. In the fall, many members of the senior class spent hours filling out applications to apply for scholarships such as the Morehead, the Angier B. Duke, the Hankins, the ROTC and others. Athletes from the football, basketball, baseball and track teams were approached by numerous colleges. Bob Baird and Fred Smith caught the eyes of many college scouts in their junior years and when the '59-60 grid season had ended, offers were pouring in from everywhere. In an effort to finance the graduation activities for the class of '60, the Seniors sponsored a barbecue on December 4. Over three thousand tickets were sold and when this gala affair was over enough money was in the treasury to pave the way for an expense-free graduation. The work put out by every senior, especially Steve Fore and his committee made this a tremendous success, and no one will deny his pride as he saw his class work together as a closely-knit group. Not all the year was spent in preparing for the future. The class took time out for the Queen of Hearts Dance. Brenda Ferree and her lovely court reigned in royal style and despite the postponing snow, the memories from this dance are fond and many. The finishing touch to the glittering array of dances held this year was the 1960 Senior Prom. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS.
