HISTORY to describe the feelings one gets as he reaches his Junior year. He has plenty of high school experience behind him, but that Senior year ahead seems a long way off. However, the year is surprisingly full. We begin thinking about grades that must be main- tained for college acceptance, entrance requirements, and entrance exams. We chose Willie Stephenson to head our staff of officers, with Joyce Jackson, Vice-President and Pat Brewton, Secretary. We were proud to take a bigger part in school activities as our class presented its play, Willie's Secret Weapon? to a large aud- ience. Junior Marshals were selected to usher at the Senior play and graduation. The year passed quickly and we began ordering our class rings. These rings, small in size, but big in spirit, strengthened our ties of loyalty. Soon we were planning Junior-Senior, and our committees worked hard to make the theme, Around the World , a great success. lt was a night we will long re- member. We looked forward with envy to next year as the Seniors related their experiences of their Senior trip. Watching many of our friends graduate, we realized that we would be the next to graduate! At last the year was here! We felt very important as the leaders of the school. Of course, this meant greater responsibilities, but as Seniors we were ready to tackle anything. Mr. Oates came as our new football coach this WHEN WE WERE JUNIORS President, Willie Stephenson, Vice-President, Joyce Jackson, Secretary, Pat Brewton. -N WHEN WE WERE SENIORS President Ronnie Plexuco Vice President Michael Munn Secretary Jean Plexico Treasurer Judy Adams year, and after a slow start our boys came roaring back to win all but one of our last four games, a close one to highly touted Dreher High School. Our bas ketball team, coached by Mr. Yarborough, was one of the top contenders in the state, with a 9-3 record as the Bearcat went to press. The greatest thrill came when our team defeated formerly unbeaten, untied Dreher High, regarded as the top team in the state breaking their fourteen-game winning streak Willie Stephenson was chosen president of the entire student body. We elected Ronnie Plexico, Sen ior class President- Michael Munn Vice-President Judy Adams, Treasurer and Jean Plexico, Secretary We presented our Senior play Momma s Angel Child. Ordering name cards and graduation an nouncements, and planning for the Senior trip height ened our feeling of prestige. The Senior trip was an experience that will live always in our memories. The Juniors treated us to a fine time at Junior-Senior, and before we could catch a breath, graduation was upon us. Standing with our diplomas amid over 200 fel- low-graduates, we realize we have reached this goal only through hard work and with the help of devoted teachers and advisers. Whatever benefits we reap from this piece of parchment will be dic- tated by the amount of work we have put into ob- taining it. On whatever courses our diverging inter- ests lead us, the roots of our loyalty will always lie deep in the traditions of Rock Hill High School. Jack Jennings, Historian Page ThirtysOne
