In , y 'Y .4 And then the final year, the year we had been looking forward to for so long. It's funny how it seems to take ages to reach that final step, and then before you know it, you have already passed it and you can't seem to realize where the time went so fast. One of our nicest memories of this year is when we received our beautiful and long awaited class rings. Our class sponsor, Miss Barwick, seemed as happy for us as we were. She has made this last year everything we thought it should be. She has guided us in all our problems. She helped usin every way she possibly could toward raising the money we needed for our Washington Trip and for sponsoring the annual. Our Washington trip was something that will never be forgotten. How Miss Barwick and Mr. Spen- cer contended with us, we'll never know. We want to extend our thanks also to Mrs. Ballance for helping us on the annual. It would be hard to count the hours she spent supervising the work on it. One of our members, Carol Lynn Garris, is serving this year as State F.H.A. president. We are very proud of her. We enjoyed a trip to Greenville this year to observe college life at E.C. C. We also had a pleasant trip to the Ice Capades. We are looking forward to the Senior Play which will be given immediately after the basketball season is over. Then the Junior-Senior Banquet which will be in our honor. And then that final night when we will finally receive that diploma that we have worked for, for so long. Bobby Jean Weaver-Historian Snapshots M - .V A 'i-Hiailii-X ' i 2. 5 A ,Q ' 'Z my P' fr X I!

History Most ofus will never forget that first day of school as freshmen. That was way back in the Fall of 1952. We made many mistakes that first year, but we see now how we gained bv them. We were separated that year with Mrs. Dor- othey Johnson as the girls' sponsor and Miss Betty West as the boys' sponsor. A majority of our members were initiated into the l7'.l-l.A. and F.F.A. Some of our girls earned their Junior Homemakers Degree. Some of our members also went out for the basketball team that year and made it. They were Mona Ann Pipkin, Carol Lynn Garris, Marjorie Lewis, Mary Lou Roberts, Sandra Hicks, and Mahlon Fleming. They did very well under Miss Barwick and Mr. Holiday's supervision. Well, in our sophomore year, we thought ourselves Ole Timers to high school ways, and really gave those poor freshmen a taste of what we had re- ceived the year before. We were still separated with Mrs. Montague as tne girls' sponsor and Mrs. Ginn as the boys' sponsor. That was the year that six of us were initiated into the Beta Club, five girls and one boy. And what an initia- tion we had. But it was well worth it. That year we had our first taste of Al- gebra. What would we have done without dear old Mr. Carriker to guide us. Mona Ann Pipkin was chosen the most valuable player in the county tournament that year and Marjorie Lewis received honorable mention. The next year came all too quickly and with it the responsibility that goes with being a Junior. Then and only then did we realize what a responsibility we had. But for once we were all together as a class and we knew if we worked together,we could make the grade. So with our class sponsor, Mrs. Dees, we started to work raising the money we would need. We sold everything from Christmas Cards to Stationary to school license plates. We also served the Goldsboro Civitan Club a supper. Our reward for all this work came on May 6,1956. We had a very beautiful and impressive Junior-Senior banquet at the Moose Lodge in Wilson. lt seemed to be enjoyed by all who attended. We also gave avery successful Junior Play which was entitled One Mad Night . Some of the members of our class who had gone out for the basketball team made Wayne County All-Conference team. We were very proud of them. We also had a very interesting trip to Goldsboro for Junior Career Day. 17
