■i IST€Cy My friends, before your very eye s I am going to unroll the story of a marvelous class — the most perfect class that has ever originated at Pine Level — the class of 1952. Its role was only four short years, but each day of the four years was crowded with the happiest and most important events. The story has its beginning in September, 1948, when the boys and girls made their initial appear- ance in the Pine Level High School. We were thirty-eight in number, and a most intelligent looking bunch of green” Freshmen. As Freshmen we had as our principal Miss Rena King; Home Room Teacher Mrs. W. T. Batchelor. During that year we gave a Negro Minstrel. Our next step, we were Sophomores. No longer were we called green freshmen but Saucy Sophomores.” During our Sophomore year we had as principal Mr. Clyde Mozingo; and home room teacher, Mr. W. T. Batchelor. Six of us students, Edith Poole, Marie Creech, Margarette Edwards, Junius Jones, William Overbee. and Bobby Stallings, were chosen as waiters and waitresses of the Junior-Senior Banquet of 1950. Jolly Juniors! What a marvelous feeling! We had finally reached this step, long to be remembered by all. Our home room teacher was Miss Norma Willard, Usually Juniors have only one big event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, but we were honored by being able to accompany the Seniors to Wash- ington, D. C, We left Thursday morning, April 9, 1951. Returning we gave the Junior-Senior Banquet at the Pine Level Gym, on April 20, 1951 . We gave also a Junior Play, “Go Slow, Mary,” which helped finance the Junior-Senior Banquet, Having the great honor of being Marshals were Margarette Edwards, chief, Marie Creech, and Junius Jones. Now at last the most thrilling year of our high school career — Seniors! Still with us as principal v as Mr. Clyde Mozingo, and as home room teacher, Miss Margaret Kirk. Gradually our number had de- creased, some married, some working, and others moved to another community, until there were now only eighteen. Maybe we were small in number but we were the largest class in many years, and we were filled with enthusiasm and a longing to make Pine Level remember us. We gave the Senior play, “Flying High,” which will finance the gift which we will leave to the school. Last, but not least, the Business English Class composed of Seniors published the Pine Burr, the school paper. The class of ’52 having finished their four years of high school are a proud group of Seniors. So leaving Pine Level, where we shared our joys and sorrows, we might look happy, but within we are sad.
