CLASS HISTORY We can look back on it all now, for our goal is in sight-the goal we have struggled towa rd since that day in August of 1945. We see ourselves taking the short, deliberate steps in the primary grades. We were young and had to be guided most of the way, But time worked her magic and one year grew into another. Guided by our teachers, the progress continued. We came upon many o b s tr u c t i o n s 3 nevertheless, the pace quickened. Then suddenly high school loomed in the future. It was cloaked in rumors of stra nge halls, stern teachers,andbigbooks with long names. We held our breath and took the plunge. To our amazement it differed only slightly from what we had be e n accustomed. We me t Mr. Van Hinson, our new home room tea che r . He was a firm but understanding man. The two yea r s with him gave us a feeling of confidence ne ver before known. We began to become skilled in certain subjects and to take interest in them as we completed the first two years of high school with a reasonable amount of success. The Junior year was a wonderful one, indeed. We sold magazines and won a trip to Greensboro, where we visited the television station and had dinner at the S 81 W-all on the house1 Soon afterward the ring salesman arrived. We looked longingly at the samples and finally made our decision. Then came the Junior-Senior Banquet. Much tim e and effort was spent in preparation and finally the big night arrived. We found the entertainment and food equally enjoyable. Between these times of chaos Mrs. Leo Rich pulled us along through our studies down to final exams. The summer vacation seemed the shortest we had ever experienced. Almost before we knew it, we were going back to school. This was it. We had reached the top. We were seniors. Up ahead was our goal, graduation. This would be the end of our struggle, or would it? What was beyond the goal? All of us would depart from our Alma Mater, sometocolleges, some to work, some to the armed services, some to matrimony. There would be struggles too. But with the leade r ship , knowledge, and confidence gained at Ramseur High School these struggles will be made easier, and we shall go onward to conquer the world. Bill Kivett Historian
