CLASS HISTORY DEAR SENIORS OF ’53- The big night is here at last—the one we’ve been working and waiting for for so many years. We ve fina y reached our goal, and tomorrow we take a new road to new places, new ideals, and new dreams. How well I remember one September day four years ago, when, just as now, we were starting out on a new road-the High School Road that ends here. There were fifty-four of us then; a large, noisy class. In tact, so large and noisy that we rtequired two members of the faculty to guide us. , As we became accustomed to our surroundings, we began doing all the things that Freshmen do. Without wasting time, we chose Jackie Voss, Lester Davis, and Bootsie Corsbie as class officers. That was a busy year. Being an athletic-minded class, we gave a stunt show, and, although we were strictly amateur, it was a great success. The class placed members on the basketball and baseball teams, and in later years, the football team. ., , . . . . But we were never too busy to take time out for a party. I m sure none of you could forget the Christmas party which our class sponsors, Mrs. Lambeth and Mrs. Wagoner, gave us. Thus we passed the first mile and embarked upon our Sophomore year. Mr. Coble, as homeroom teacher, directed our journey, assisted by the class officers, Jim Garner, Ray Caudle, Bobbie Barker, ana Barbara Samuel. Looking into the future, we saw the Junior-Senior Banquet looming up on the horizon and decided that some¬ thing should be done in prejparation for it. A play was decided upon and a wise decision it was! With Mrs. Lam¬ beth directing, we presented DEACON DUBBS and proved what we had known all along-that anything we undertook would be a success. ., . , „ ., £ , But before the banquet, a Senior-Sophomore party must be given. And no sooner said than done. Guiltord Dairy Clubhouse was the scene of that gala little gathering which truly topped off our Sophomore year Juniors! and our goal in view. My how proud we were as once more we took up our staff in the tall of 51 and continued our journey. Mr. Coble was again our sponsor and the class officers were Ray Caudle, Roddy Fields, Jackie Voss, and Ruth Ann Marley. . T , . ,, . Our first task was to order our class rings, and soon after taking care of this detail, we made Jackie Voss Oueen of the Harvest Festival with Ray Caudle as the reigning King. , Our next project was a hayride for the whole high school. Though Mother Nature didn t cooperate, there weren’t too many cold toes. , , , Although the hayride was planned with profit in mind, our grade mothers, who have served as such tor many years, gave a splendid New Year ' s Eve party with nothing but pleasure planned. As the New Year, 1952, rolled in, we let it be known that we were still around. To start the year off right, we had a magazine subscription campaign. Due to the marvelous salesmanship of Holman Flynn, this venture, too, was a success. Through it we obtained the remaining funds needed tor The time had come. At last we were Juniors honoring the Seniors at that age-old custom of a banquet. What fun it was to plan and decorate and work! But of course the real fun came May second at Starmount Forest Country Club We could relax; the work was done; it would either be a success or a failure. Having a slight predilection towards our class, I would say that once again wecame throughH it. fine style. And of course we gave a Junior play. After our success with DEACON DUBBS, we were anxious to try our hand again at theatrics. This time we chose the play, NO BOYS ALLOWED, and, as before, Mrs. Lambeth directed. If the laughter and applause were any indication, this play was only slightly less surperb than DEA As°the I pe I Hec end of a busy year, we made the annual daisy chain for the Seniors and sang the sad farewell songs, although our hearts were jumping with joy. Farewell, dear Seniors, we’re happy to take your P ace Ah ves at last we were Seniors! Only one more tiresome, dusty, happy mile. We had lost some classmates and gained others along the way, but now there were only thirty-nine of us. Mr. Dawson became our guardian angel for this last year. Ray Caudle and Roddy held their positions as president and vice-president, respectively, of the class, but Jo Anne Kirkman became the new secretary, and Moonyeen Cockman, treasurer. But there was no time to dwell on the fact that we were Seniors. We were all too busy making those final arrangements for graduation. There were invitations and cards to order, the super atives to pick, caps and gowns to choose, speakers for graduation to select, and endless other duties that demanded attention. The annual must be prepared, and Jim Garner was selected to do the job with Moonyeen Cockman to assist l im The Seniors were also in charge of the Spotlight, and yours truly, with the aid of Jackie Voss, headed the Not to be outdone by our last year’s efforts, we again made two of our classmates the reigning royalty at the Harvest Festival. Moonyeen Cockman and J. D. Tilley wore the crowns this time. The high school faculty bestowed on James Garner the honor of receiving the Civitan Award. How proud we were 0 J 11 deflated financial standing, we sold stationery and little gold class pins Somehow we found time to give our Senior play, PETER BEWARE. Mr. Dawson was the director this time and, true to form, we succeeded in making a hit. , ., f .i The class divided into groups and gave some really wonderful parties. But of course the party of the wn c the Senior-SoDhomore party. My, what fun we did have! ' “ Then came the banquet. The Juniors chose Sedgefield Inn as the place and May first as the time. It was wonderful to he the honored ones and the Juniors really outdid themselves. . , u i r All too soon the journey has ended. We are at the end of the High School Road. Before us is the Road the Future. The High School Road is history now-history that will remain forever in your memories. Your classmate, CATHERINE NEECE, Chief Historian J. D. TILLEY, INEZ OSBORNE, Assistant Historians
