l il sENioR CLASS OFFICERS Seated left to right: President ELIZABETH BELK Vice President BURL FLEMING Secretary 84 Treasurer B FRANKIE KLEPPER Senior Class History In September 1951, we, the Senior Class of 1956, entered the eighth grade at Pacolet High School, un- aware at the time that we would one day graduate together. We were very much surprised to see that our lives in school would change very much in this, our really first experience in high school. We felt much more important to ourselves than to others as we walked briskly from class to class with our chests filled with a new and warming pride. How we admired those seniors as they towered above us, taking long-legged strides down the hallways and we, nearly killing ourselves, tried to keep up with them. We watched with wide-eyed amazement as they changed classes carrying but one small book, distinctly separating them from our book laden selves. We were deeply amazed by this new routine of changing classes, going to the gymnasium, cafeteria and attending study hall, but we were a part of this new life, and our out-of-place feeling soon vanished. The following year we entered Pacolet High as freshman, being privileged that year to choose our subiects, vote in class elections, join various clubs, and wish for the day to come when we would be seniors. The next September we were labeled sophomores and could take positions on the TELAPACO and TOMAHAWK staffs, Student Council, and various other clubs. Newer phases of school life were opened to us for more added enjoyment, learning, and mean- ing to our lives. The year 1955 came and we were the iuniors of Page Ten Pacolet High School. Now we would occupy more important positions, and play big roles in sports. That year the Junior Class presented a play, Me and My Shadow , Toward the end of the year we found ourselves planning the Junior-Senior Banquet. It was hard work for all of us, but we enioyed it, and it was a big success. ln the fall of 1955 we again entered Pacolet High in the greatest role that we had ever played in our school career. We were full-fledged seniors. Almost immediately we found ourselves getting accustomed to this new life by ordering rings, invitations, and earning money for our Washington trip. This is the year when we were guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Banquet, when we received our rings, one of the most prized possessions of our lives, and one which we shall always cherish. After Christmas we put the finishing touches on our senior play, Take Your Medicine. Then the day of graduation arrived. On this day we suddenly realized that we were ending our high school days. The daily routine of classes and activi- ties ended, but memories of our friends, classmates, and teachers whom we loved and admired so much will never vanish, but will forever occupy a part of our lives. Upon leaving Pacolet High School, we, the Senior Class of 1956, with great pride leave all the wonderful joys and few sorrows of senior class life to our successors, the Senior Class of 1957. May they enioy it as much as we have. -Don Weathers 1 , il, l Qfflfu L 0
