Miss Lora Dingus Miss Callie Darnell Mrs. Wilma Brooks DUFFY, LAWSON, GRAHAM, GARRISON SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, we began what seemed to be a long adventure through high school but now, as we remenisce, it seems as if only yesterday we were excited eighth graders, ready to take any drastic measures to conquer the fierce world before us. We were even more resolved as Freshmen to develop our abilities and talents in order to reach that great realm of the future. Our sophomore year brought about plans for the future, what courses to take, whether we should go to college, and what vocation we should choose. Those decisions have been the basis of what school really means to us. As juniors we had many highlights. One was the choosing of our class rings which symbolized our approaching seniorhood. Our magazine soles were a lot of fun and we were proud to have exceeded the sales of the previous year. Still lingering in our ears are the beautiful phrases of Moonlight and Roses, the theme for our prom. This will probably be our most cherished year of all. We musn ' t forget our five representatives to Boy ' s and Girl ' s State. Their experiences gained there will always be treasured. As the bell rang on August 25, 1960, we began our oncoming year as seniors. We will always remember the anticipation and planning for the Washington plus New York tour and we can never forget how wonderful our trip was. We can still remember the laughter when Grama Binion says, I ' m not thinking, I ' m praying, and Ova ' s remark, Right dry, in the senior class production of Jesse Stuart ' s The Thread That Runs So True. Our Glee Club again filled us with joy and humbleness as we listened to their arrangements of the Christmas carols. Another wonderful sound to our ears was the stately strains of Pomp and Circumstance. Joy and excitement filled our hearts as we heard our names called and went forward to receive our diploma. It felt good to hold this precious certificate in our hands. We think for a moment of all we are leaving behind, but better yet, all that lies ahead. We have had many facilities and opportunities offered to us through the efforts of our teachers and parents. By using these aids, we acquired a new key each year that will help to unlock the doors of future success and happiness. Having been able to overcome many obstacles, we are ready to meet the future. As we leave these hallowed halls, our prayer is to bring peace and joy to the world. We look to the future with pride, hope, determination, in that through our efforts we may make this world a better place in which to live. We keep alive this principle, whatever we try to do in life— in building a career, a set of personal morals, a family life, or any task we strive to do— is doomed to fail unless we are in partnership with God in the doing of it. He must be at the center; He must be the builder. Herein lies the answer to a better world. Page 28
