CLASS In August, 19-11, twenty of the present seniors en- tered the classrooms of Miss Sara Reynolds and Miss Helen Brasington. NVe tagged at our mother's skirt tails, fearful of our first step into the field of education. After making friends with the smallpox needle, we settled back for an adventrous story which has continued twelve colorful years. The twenty original seniors of the 1953 graduating class are as follows: Joy Alexander, Marie Beachboard, Arnetta Henson, Betty Looney, Julia Carlock, Ruth Field, Jack Lindsey, Frances Gossclin, Shirley Starncs, George Mchaffcy, Nancy Cochrane, Jack Lovingood, Carroll Caglc, Barbara Patterson, Joe Young, Ralph Brooks, Shirley Brooks, Joan D. Westall, Pat Brown, and Frank- lin Lyda. At the completion of our first year and having safely survived the epidemics of childhood diseases, we passed into the hands of Mrs. Claude Marr and Miss Evelyn Morgan, second grade teachers. Two cute girls, Mary Alice Conner and Regenia Wil- kie. 'oined our class in the second year along with the mischievous little blonde, Bill Coffey. Moving up into the grammar grades, a host of new students ioined us. In the fourth grade, Bobbie McKin- nish from West Jefferson School and Don McElrathg fifth grade, Daisy Ruth Hunter: sixth grade, Martha Jean Trull from Canton and Joyce Keller from Boone. The year '46-'47 will always be held dear to the hearts of our sixth grade class. Many spectacular things hap- pened. Under the fine supervision of Mrs. Gaston an attractive flower garden was planted in front of the school . . . a play was presented . . . sixteen members participated on a Negro square dance team. All these things were held hi h, but higher still was graduation from grammar schoo? into junior high. Along with our entrance into the seventh grade, we entered the newly erected building composed of both junior and senior high school classes. We acquired two sweet and patient teachers, Mrs. NVallace Mann and Mrs. Lucille Rector, also new friends and classmates from different schools: Peggy Goode and Doug Clark from Vance, Carole Jones from St. Joan of Arc, Wynelle Ford from Aycock, Calvin Davis from Murphy, Dee Hughey and Norma Brown. Our class has had many exciting times. The eighth grade was one of the top thrillers and there the title of The Meanest Class in School was bestowed upon us. One sunny day in May, we began feeling the oncoming freedom of vacation. In classes we expressed these feelings when the pencil sharpner became gooey with chewing gum, bobby pins were buzzing, books were flying, paddles were threatening. being expelled was near, lectures were plentiful, and the saneness of the teachers was rare. Under the expert leadership of Miss Dorothy Humph- ries the basketball teams, both boys and girls, walked away with first place honors in the Emma Junior High Tournament, receiving two miniature trophies. They were small in size, but to us they were large in quality. Carlic Rogers. Barbara Woody, Paula Jean Lowery, and Barbara Wilson joined us in this memorable year. The first day in our freshman year in high school was very busy. Schedules were a new thing to us, and we had a hilarious time getting everything straight. Although we had been in the high school building for two years, there were many nooks and corners unex- plored by us. We came to appreciate the library and there the wonderful books opened new worlds for us. From our neighboring school, Venable, we collected many students. Those were Ruth Crawford, Shirley Cooke, Louise McFarland. Polly Christopher, Barbara Early, Virginia Nave, Virginia Holcombe, Peggy Parker, Bobby Scott, C. J. Taylor, Helen Thompson, Charles Roberts and Raymond McKinney. Students from other schools which entered Sand Hill that year were: Clara Faye Ballard, Jo Lena Willis, Dorothy Mae Smith. Bill Clarke, Shirley Crook, Juanita Webster, Chet Griffin, Mary Candler, and Pat Brown joined the class again after having left in the third grade. The basketball team which had won all the honors in the eighth grade, was back in there plugging in the ninth. Miss Humphries entered us in the Mars Hill Junior High Toumament and the girls fought four HBTORY bloody battles to come out on top again. We not only took the trophy as winners, but we also took a majority of the other top honors, and our class made history again. Besides taking honors on the junior varsity team, several of our girls made the varsity squad, and some of these saw plenty of action. Another summer vacation passed, we found ourselves back in the hustle and bustle of fixing schedules. With the heavy grind of Latin and algebra plus the gathering of biology specimens the responsibilities of high school grew. New students continued to arrive. In the tenth grade six were added. They were Charlotte Hosteller, Bobby Arrington, Larry Revels, Charlie Sprouse, Shirley Ray, and Ed Brinkley. Cactus, can-can girls, boots and saddles, and roulette tables became a familiar sight around April and May to our junior class. A western theme was carried out for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. It was work, but it was fun. New students who joined us that year were Annette Creasman from Valley Springs, Peggy King and Faye Rowland from Emma, Mary E. Banks from Woodfin, Ken Sherrill and John Moore from Candler. We were all proud of the students from our class who were elected marshals to take part in the graduation exercises. Those chosen were Peggy Goode, Wynelle Ford, Nancy Cochrane, Jack Lovingood, George Mehaf- fey, and Joe Young, chief marshal. These were the only lucky juniors who were allowed to attend the senior picnic and party. Members of our class again came into the spotlight of sports. The first team, both girls and boys, were made up of boys and girls from our class. Joyce Keller, Virginia Nave, George Mehaffey, and Ralph Brooks were sent to Girlis and Boy's State. We were very proud of them. Joe Young was elected president of the student body for the following year. Wynelle Ford was a candidate in the Miss Buncombe County Contest. Many of our classmates took high honors in the Cullo- whee Field Day Program and Larry Revels was elected president of the District Library Assistance Organization. The day was here. We were seniors. We assembled in the study hall. Through the years the classes had grown until Mrs. Cazel's class room could no longer hold the entire senior class. Mrs. Fortner gave us a lecture on how a senior should act. Naturally we were so excited we failed to hear what she said, and therefore, have acted very much unlike seniors since. During our senior year several classmates took part in various activities. Chet Griflin was Sand Hill's candi- date to the Optimist Bowl where he made a very good showing. Nancy Cochrane represented us in the Miss Bun- coinbe County Contest and the Asheville Tobacco Festi- va . Peggy Goode spoke in the I Speak for Democracy contest. She was judged as second place winner. Eleven of our members were tapped into the Scroll Society during our junior and senior years. They are as follows: Nancy Cochrane, Peggy Goode, Wynelle Ford, Juanita Webster, Virginia Nave, Joyce Keller, Joy Alexander, Joe Young, George Mehaffey, Ralph Brooks, and Larry Revels, who is president. Making our list complete in our senior year were: Neil Parris, Geraldine Collins, Betty Franks, Edwin Gaston, and Charles Puterbaugh. Time finally came when we had our fingers measured for class rings. Senior superlatives were elected. Caps and gowns were ordered. Knowledge comes, but wis- dom lingers was to be our motto. Red and silver and red roses were to be our colors and ffower. The year was passing fast. We were beginning to regret our leav- ing dear ole' Sand Hill, and our beloved principal, Mr. Claude Marr, who for the twelve years had guided and loved us. We have now finished this phase in the field of education. We are prepared to make a bigger step into a different phase. We have gained knowledge through a high school career, and the wisdom of it shall linger with us as we step into the future.
