HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '50 Hello! Remember me? l'm your past. You know, I trail along after you everywhere you go. l've been with you for twelve years now, but the first eight of those twelve years are getting rather dim. The things l remember best have happened in the past four. Let's talk awhile, shall we? Remember September 7, 1946? You should, that was the day you entered. High School, or rather we entered high school, I was there too. 'We felt rather forlorn that day. The year before we had had the grand total of fourteen diiferent teachers, allfl all the I-ligh School teachers knew we must be terrible. As we entered we met Mr. Ayers and everyone perked up a bit. NVe learned that he was to be our home-room teacher and guardian angel. For the first few weeks he showed us how to do everything and even made a few excuses for us when need.ed. XVe were told it was customary to elect class officers, so we elected Jane Dixon as president. There was a High School play that year and we were proud of the one little freshman who was lucky enough to get a part. Then there was a party or two and we found we had completed our first year in High School very successfully. Before we knew it, it was fall again, we were going back to school, and this year we were Sophomores. Mr. Ayers was our advisor again, and Clay Mclnnis was elected presi- de11t. The first of the year was uneventful, but when Spring came we decided to act. XV4- didn't want the Juniors a11d. Seniors to have all the fun, so we introduced something new to dear old P. G. NVe planned a Sophomore-Senior party. NVe reserved Guilford Dairy Club and- worked hard to make the party a success. XVe also took on a few minor proj- ects to raise money. NVe knew we'd need it later. ln no time at all we were Juniors. Things changed this year. Mrs. Kiger took Mr. Ayers' place as our advisor, and NVendell Trogdon took over as president. XVe went straight to work, there was money to be made and a banquet to be planned. XVe gave a brunsv- wick stew, sold plates with a picture of the school on them and did several little things to raise money. Our play Gay helped out too, illlll was also a lot of fu11. During this,time, Mrs. Kiger left us and a new teacher, Mrs. Foster, came in. NVe S0011 forgot she was a IICNV teacher a11d felt as if we had always known her. After much consideration we decided. to have our banquet at Meyers' Carden Room. and went to work to make it a banquet that would long be remembered. Vile also had a chance to be in the class day exercises, and our daisy chain was a sight to behold. Few tears were shed at graduation that year. We were happy to think of taking their places. Before long there we were, Seniors. Mrs. Brodeur was our advisor and believe me we would never have gotten along without her. C. M. Han11er was our class president and. we were only too willing to begin work. Few of us had realized what it meant to be a Senior, but we found we were faced with the job of publishing the Spot-light, putting out an annual, choosing invitations, and preparing for graduation. The first few issues of the Spot-light weren't so good, but we made up for it with that extra special annual, thanks to Jane Dixon's work as editor. C. M. llanner was chosen by vote of the entire high school to receive the Civitan award. Then came the Junior-Senior banquet. Gee! it was great to be the honored ones. Graduation slipped up on us all too soo11. XVe really had a swell time during our Senior year. VVhat comes next? I don't know, but we offer thanks to Pleasant Garden High for the preparation 1t has given us for the future. NANCY REYNOLDS, Historian. - 12 -
