Class History Standing here ready for the Graduation of 1954, I recall unforgettable memories. These classmates so near are all a part of these. In our freshman year, I can remember our shyness and mixed-up schedules. But thanks to Miss Davis, Mrs. Dockery, and Mrs. Swiggett, our homeroom teachers, we became more accustomed to high school life, and entered into everything with lots of school spirit and enthusiasm. oe There were initiations into clubs, exciting ball games, parties, and other activities, but the picnic to Reynolds Park that spring brought to a close our first year of high school. Even though it rained, our spirits were not dampened so we came back to High Point for a movie. My thoughts now move on to August of 1951, when we came back for our sophomore year with sun tans and sun-bleacned hair. We were divided into two homerooms with Miss Reed and Mr. McCormick. Arranging schedules was easier. While we were not able to attend the Junior-Senior banquet that year, the waiters and waitresses were chosen from us lowly sophomores. But we knew how to have fun so the activity bus was loaded to take us to a gay picnic at High Point City Lake. Not yet the oldest class in high school, I recall how sure of ourselves we felt as Juniors, that fall of °52. : We worked hard on our lessons but we needed money for that great spring event. So a lively magazine campaign and a successful Hobo Day followed. Of course we could never forget that Junior Play, “The Eager Miss Beaver’ with all of its rehearsals, the fun, and the hair that stayed powdered for a week. April the 17th brought the long awaited occasion, our own Junior-Senior banquet. Both homeroom teachers, Mrs. Swiggett and Mr. Wall, had helped us have a successful evening. We recall also our song’ and our daisy chain on Class Night. At last, our Senior year ! ! But somehow there was regret that we must graduate. Everything really begins to move at a fast pace now—the magazine campaign, and Hobo Day with our blistered hands, the choosing of class colors, a motto, mascots, the annual staff, ordering the classrings, caps and gowns and, finally, the first half of our senior year is gone. These, and a wonderful Christmas party given by Miss Cox and Mrs. Young, our two faithful homeroom teachers, will always be fresh in our minds. In the second semester there were still more parties and that wonderful evening of the banquet, when we were entertained by the Juniors. Another play in which we put all our hard work and efforts to make it a big success. But I suppose our trip to Washington was the most fun. All this has brought me back to the present with class night and the other closing exercises. Around me I see each of my classmates and friends and by their faces, I’m sure they're thinking these same thoughts as I. Here we are now, graduation night, the high point of many lives. Our names are being called one by one and the time has come to receive that little piece of paper, our diploma. But it is more than just a little piece of paper I hold in my hand, it is the key to our future and our first step toward making our own -way in life. For while we say thanks to our parents, our teachers, principal and friends, our ways will part now. Yet, as we part, may these experiences always be cherished memories in each of our hearts.
