Class History By ANGELA NELSON Me It seems to us only yesterday that we started to school, but in reality most of us started fourteen years ago. In the fall of 1935 a tiny little girl, Mary Rose Whitley, entered the primary department with Miss Nan Jeter as her teacher. She has kept her happy smile through all the years and has evaded studying as much as possible. In 1936 the school opened its arms to three more little girls—Pearl Anders, Julia Ray and Elsie Little. After watching these three mis- chievous las sies, it was decided they were too much for one teacher so Pearl and Julia were put in Mrs. Horton’s class and Elsie in Miss Gordon’s class. Pearl soon got the nickname “Sandy” which has followed her through the years. Julia has always been the quiet, dignified member of our class. Elsie has enjoyed every- thing in school except the arithmetic periods. The two boys in our class, Earl Smith and Raleigh Mooney, entered together in 1937 with Miss Linnie Rankin as their teacher. Naturally they have been spoiled by the girls in the class. The next addition was Angela Nelson who came from Germanton Public School in 1940. She had Mrs. Bergl, the former Miss Burkette Kibler, as her teacher. Last, but not least, to join the class was Sarah Hinson who arrived in 1944 from Candler Public School. She is so gay that she has kept all of us happy. The present class was formed in 1947 with Mrs. Marie Davis as homeroom teacher. There were nine members at that time, but at Christ- mas, Mearl Morrow left us to be married. Many changes have been made since we have been in N. C. S. D. The same year our class was organized, a school library was started. Through the generosity of one of our teachers, Mrs. Jennie Law, we were able to buy a great many new books and decorate the two rooms which are used as the library. We now have approximately three thousand books. Last fall a college preparatory class was organized. Mrs. Triebert, Mr. Kubis, and Dr. Randolph are the teachers of this class. This gives the students who desire to’ go to college an opportunity to prepare for entrance exami- nations. During the years we have had our ups and cowns as well as many good times together and though we are happy to be graduating we are reluctant to leave the school and our friends here.
