STCRY OF THE CLASS OF '59 1.and of Hope and Clory-the final words, in the story of every graduating class at North Augusta High. ln 1959 as the seniors heard the strains of the familiar hymn, they felt a sym- pathetic bond with all those who had graduated before them. At last they knew how it felt to be graduating, to be able to look back over the past four years and fondly reminisce-dances, club projects, thrilling football games, and other athletic events. The History of the Class of '59 reyiews those four chapters of their high school careers. CHAPTER l ln September 1955, 188 freshmen entered the strange, new world of high school, a world dominated by upperclassmen. They felt bewildered and out of place at Hrst in spite of the seniors' efforts to make them feel welcome. Obeying the seniors' decree, freshmen girls wore jeans and men's shirts, inside out and back- wards, gaudy ties, ribbons on their toes, and green toothpaste on their faces. The boys were the last belt-line initiates at N.A. Adjusting quickly, the freshmen began to take pride in their school. To cheer the undefeated football team, they elected linda XVise and Billy Sarratt. Leaders of the freshman class were John Douglas, president, Linda Burnside, vice-president: Ann Haskell, secretary: Lanny Montgomery, treasurer. CHAPTER II As sophomores the intangible ties of loyalty and school spirit bound them closer together and made them an integral part of .the school. Class officers were John Douglas, president, Linda Burnside, yice-president: Linda Wise, secretary, Bill Self, treasurer. Kay McMahan was Student Council secretary. Cheerleaders elected were Brenda Wlilliams and Linda Wlise. They showed such pep that they were chosen again during the two subsequent years. CHAPTER 111 ln 1957 they enjoyed the many junior activities. W'hen they elected officers they tried to select hard workers who could handle the many jobs to be done for the Junior Play and the Junior- Senior. These were: John Douglas, president: Bill Self, WCC- presidentg Linda Wfise, secretary: and Dick Sheridan, treasurer. Brenda Williams was vice-president of Student Council. The Yellow flicker, the junior class newspaper, was edited by Pat Stewart, business manager was Judith Herring. Chosen repre- sentatiyes to Boys' and Girls' State were Dick Sheridan and Brenda Wfilliams. Students with the highest averages-Ann Has- kell, Judy Herring, Malcolm Judkins, Pat Stewart, Marsha Metts. Betsy Reutter, Rush Morrison, and liay MeMahan-were hon- ored as Junior Marshals. Cast members of Finders Creepers were lfddie lfpps, Cary Brown, Charlotte Law, Joyce Ann Lowe, Jean Bradley, Kenny Jones, Judy Little, Barbara Baxley, Jimmy Hutehingson, Jerry Sailors, Leon Jenkins, Richard Payne, Ann Haskell, Sallie Palmer, and Barry Pitts. A successful play made possible the memorable Junior-Senior. Southern belles and southern gentlemen danced in a picturesque plantation setting. The junior year was almost completed. CHAPTER IV September 1958. X i'ere they really seniors? They eouldn't bc- lieye it until they found themselyes initiating underclassmen. Then on September zsrh class rings linally ariiyed. Yes, seniors at lastl Pep rallies, assemblies, club meetings, and class actiyities took on special meaning as the seniors enjoyed them for the last time. Betty Kilby was elected the third senior cheerleader. lfre- quent senior class meetings were presided oyer by Dick Sheridan, president: Bill Self, vice presidentg Barry Pitts, secretary: Hugh Cook, treasurer. John Douglas efliciently headed up Student Council. Viewing N. A.'s athletic record, the seniors felt great pride. The fame of their football team had spread through the South. ln four years of high school, they had seen their team lose only once-and then by one insignificant point. Dick Day represented N. A. at the Shrine Bowl and received honorable mention for the All-American Team. Linda Wfise ruled oyer the Homecoming game. St1l1f1'Slh1zi's was edited by Judy Herring and the staff with the aid of Miss Todd, advisor, The Senior Class and the faculty awarded the DAR award to Judy Herring. King Teen was Dick Sheridan. Judy Herring was elected Miss Hi Miss on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and personal attractiveness. Yaledictorian was Ann Haskell: saluditorian, Malcolm Judkins. ln June 1959, the ultimate goal was reached. At commence- ment, memories filled the minds and hearts of the seniors. Look- ing around them, they realized that this would probably be the last time they would all be together. They thought of the teachers whose loye and inspired guidance would go with them as they entered adulthood. They thought of the future . . . what it would hold . . . Land of Hope and Clory, Father of Mankind, Lord who made thee mighty, Make thee mighti-:r yet. BETSY REUTTER Class Historian '59 -
