G o ass yfistory As we the class of ’64 come to the end of our high school career, we look back over our twelve long years of hard work with priceless memories. As innocent and eager children, we started our hard struggle through school in 1952 and advanced slowly but surely through the primary and grammar grades. We recall the time we had to take our punishment by standing in the corners or writing I must not talk in school.” The biggest thrill of our elementary school years was our trip to Raleigh. With our experiences and desires to rise, we entered high school. As our freshman year began, we found out that there was more to high school than ball games, banquets, and special privileges. We had to work with our nose to the grindstone,” but there were moments of fun and times for laughter. As we returned the next fall for our annual war with textbooks, we felt wise and mature asknowing sophomores. This year, we were welcomed by our new Principal, Mr. Parker. ■ By our junior year, we had become familiar with everyone and all the rules and regu¬ lations of Ramseur High. This was the year to which everyone had been looking forward. Would you like to buy a magazine? You ' re right; we were working on our class project to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet. The banquet was held at the Siler City Country Club on May 5, 1963. The theme was Apple Blossom Time.” Finally the time came to order our class rings, which will always be a binding symbol of unity. If you heard us saying, I never want to see another daisy,” you knew some tired and dusty students were working on the daisy chains. Thus our junior year was history. Senior! It is hardly believable. The twelve yea rs have been swift, but our goal is near at hand. During this busy year we found time to elect Bob York, President; William Wright, Vice President; Mary Kivett, Secretary; and Susan Sillmon, Treasurer. We regret leaving our Alma Mater with its friendships, trials, moments of pleasure, hours of disappointments, loves—and we almost wish we were starting over. But the de¬ termination that has brought us successfully to the close of our high school career will surely carry us through life with its problems. Our history would not be complete if we did not thank Miss Phyllis Oakley for her helpful guidance in leading us to our goal-graduation. We would like to say thanks to our teachers who have faithfully guided us, and to our parents who have given us more than words can express. Last, to the students remaining at Ramseur High School, we give the advice to work hard and to enjoy your school life to the fullest. As we the Seniors of 1964 leave, we will remember our school forever and cherish our memory book containing 12 of the best years of our lives. ®J» Mm JmM Historian Gwendolyn Cox 11 jha iif ' 22
