S 1111.4 jime Q 1: lan! gl f ff I' I, ID O. ' Q 0 Q K -l, MRS. GRACE B. ALLEY We, the seniors of nineteen hundred, fifty- three, gratefully dedicate the Amo-ena to our former teacher and friend, the late Mrs. Grace Brown Alley. Her high professional standards and years of experience made her an excellent teacher, but her deep understanding of the problems of youth, wise guidance, and will- O: ingness to help made her a beloved person- ality. Mrs. Alley was most versatile, and she cheerfully used her versatility for un- selfish service in her home, church, school, and community. Truly, Mrs. Alley left last- ing footprints on the sands of time at Pleasant Grove and earned for herself a permanent place in our hearts. O5 Ol 'J 4' I A I 0: Q 8' 'I .' WI 4. of 3' 5 3

The first footprints were left by the men and wo- men who built the first one and two-teacher schools in the Pleasant Grove Township. These people may be justly proud of their footprints of knowledge imprinted on the sand, but in the hearts of these leaders was a dream of a large, consolidated, rural school. The second foot- prints were made in 1922 when five one and two-teacher rural schools, Mahan, Sidney, Squires, McCray, and King, joined together and became one school - Pleasant Grove. At the beginning of the school year only two rooms were completedghowever, the nextyear the ot- her two rooms anda wooden auditorium were finished. Due to a misunderstanding among the patrons, the high school students in 1924 were moved to the Haw River School, this change was only temporary because the high school students were returned to Pleasant Grove in 1925. The next few years added many impor- tant footprints in the history of the schoolg four more rooms were added to the building in 1928. The Parents Teachers' Association, organized in 1929, has truly left many foot- prints by performing many, beneficial ser- ' vices for us. In 1931 Union Ridge and Hick- Q ory Grove were joined to Pleasant Grove. In 1933 the school's first lunch room was oper- ':. 'T 0 0, ' .I 6' In Z UI ated, and in 1934 courses in home economics and agriculture were offered. A separate building was built for the' agricultural depart- ment in 1936. Literary footprints were made when the library was established in the main building in 1937. The next footprints were left by those who visualized future needs of the school and in 1942 bought three acres of land. ln 1946 the lunchroom and kitchen were enlarged and modern equipment purchased. Now, in 1953, our buildings are quite crowded and inadequate to serve our needs. Another educational footprint is being made- the erection of a new building,inc1uding a gym- nasium, home economics department, library, and cafeteria. When we look at this new, modern building, we think of the people who are responsible for it and know that truly they have left permanent footprints on the sands of time. We feel grateful for the educational heritage we have received not only for the land, buildings and equipment, but also for the know- ledge acquired, the standards of character de- veloped, andthe firendships made. As we take our places in the community, we shall consider it our privilege to maintain the edu- cational advantages provided for us because of others' efforts and to increase and to pre- sent more and better opportunities to the next generation so that we too may departing leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. fg .' .4 ,J .Q 0: J ' 'I I IP 1 Cl
