SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Five years ago in the Fall of nineteen hundred and forty, one hundred and thirty-seven scared, starry-eyed. young boys and girls stood on the threshold of a new phase in their lives. New doors toprosperity opened for them. The hour glass was set in motion and marked time for the class for Eve years. In nineteen forty and forty-one, the Freshmen selected Betty Jean Kunkle to lead them for a year of victory over uncertainty and inexperience. This year the new ninth month and l2th grade regulation went into effect. A three months' vacation was welcomed by everyone. I The year nineteen forty-one and forty-two found the sands of the hour glass still marking the days and months of another year. Ninety students came through the doors of Newton- Conover High with greater confidence than the year before. They were led through this phase of school work by Ralph Herman Coley. In the year nineteen forty-two and forty-three, sixty-eight tenth graders successfully com- pleted the required subjects, without too many failures, and managed to gather a small amount of knowledge as they, went about the tasks, and enjoyed themselves in basketball and football. They were led through this year by Ben T'unny Kincaid. The year forty-three and forty-four found the same class with a new perspective. The Juniors felt as if they could lick anyone. It was the responsibility of this class to publish the Hi-Life and to plan the Junior-Senior Banquet and Dance. The class was very capably led by Raenelle Bolick. Although the class had diminished in number Conly forty-eight nowl it was ready for anything which might happen. The sands in the hour glass have slowly ebbed. The Seniors, who are twenty-eight in number. are anxiously awaiting graduation day. The Seniors' greatest responsibility toward their fellow students is getting together material for an annual that will serve as an inspiration to the ones who follow in their footsteps. This annual is being paid for by subscriptions, by ads from the merchants, mills, etc., of Newton. Conover, and Hickory, and by funds received from the Senior store, by selling ice-cream. and by giving a Senior Play. The leader through the greatest year of the Seniors' High School career is Ed Schrum. The members of the class of forty-five leave you with the hope that you will enjoy the life in Newton-Conover High as much as they have enjoyed it. MARCELINE SPENCER, Historian.
