UW, Y.. 1 . , 7 Cfadd ,Mdfory In September, 1948, we, the class of 1952, made our first appearance in high scllool. We were rather shy and quite awed by the mighty upper classmenf' After our first excitement had subsided, we began to get into the swing of high school life, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Lambeth. We elected our class oflicers, with Howard Coble, President, and then got to work. Our outside activities were few, with only a couple of parties, but we let our aggressiveness be seen by electing Jane Toler Harvest Queen. Before we knew it, the year was completed and we were now Sophomores. VVe entered with a little more conhdence. Our president was Butch Culbreth, and Mr. Dawson became our adviser. Our activities were a bit more numerous this year, and we followed the tradition of honoring the Seniors with the Senior- Sophomore party in the spring of 1950. This and a few class parties concluded our Sophomore year. When we returned as Juniors in the fall of '51, we were very much aware of the responsibility placed upon our shoulders. There were our rings to be ordered, class play to be given, and numerous activities leading up to the all important Junior-Senior Banquet at which we were to be hosts. Mr. Dawson was our sponsor again. Libby Hunt was elected president, and we set to work. We had little time for parties as most of our time was taken up .with the play, Twixteen , brunswiek stews, square dances, and other profit-making activities. Finally, the date and place for the banquet was set. It was on April 27, 1951, at the Sedgefield Inn. Everything was grand and will long be remembered by those who attended it. In May came graduation. VVe helped with the commencement exercises by presenting our daisy chain to the Seniors. VVe were sorry to see our classmates leave but were glad to be replacing them as Seniors. Returning for our final year in September, 1951, again under the guiding hand of Mr. Dawson, we were fully aware of the tasks ahead. Janet Hanner was elected president, and we dignified CPD Seniors went about our duties. The chief things accomplished were the class play, publication of the Hi-Lights and Spotlight, and preparations for graduation. The Junior-Senior was an event that we shall always remember. It was won- derful to be honored in this way. Then came the Senior-Sophomore party and many other special occasions. Doris Coble was chosen by the high school to receive the Civitan Award. Graduation was upon us before we knew it. This history ends when we receive our diplomas. Each individual will write his own future history through his deeds. LIBBY HUNT Historian I
