CLASS HI TORY Twelve years ago, in the year 1941, approximately fifty five youngsters, who are now seniors, entered Sandy Ridge School. When we arrived that first day we were very shy and confused, but Miss Taylor and Mrs. Wall, our first teachers, soon helped us overcome this. Entering the second grade Mrs. Dowdy and Miss Johnson were our teachers. We were very pleased to learn to read and spell. Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Ziglar were wonderful to us in the third grade. This year, our arithmetic and English started. We entered the fourth grade with Mrs. Shockley and Mrs. Gibson. We all enjoyed traveling to distant lands in geography. Mrs. Shockley was still our teacher in the fifth, aided by Miss Vaughn. We are still wondering how she was able to endure us for two years. At last we had reached the sixth grade. Mrs. Ayers and Mrs. Hutcherson were our advisers. We had lots of fun that year. In the seventh grade Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Hill were our teachers. We thought we were too grown up to have Easter egg hunts, so we planned picnics and weiner roasts. ' Everyone was wondering what the eighth grade would be like. Eighth grade at last. Mr. Spencer, our adviser, went with us to Danbury to receive our eighth grade certificates. We will never forget the song The Old North State and our picnic at Cherry Park. Our freshman year, Mr. Kimbro was our adviser. Frances Steele and Annie Mae Varner were marshals that year. A few of the girls and boys were lucky enough to be on the basketball team. The girls enjoyed home economics taught by Mrs. Joyce and the boys were very proud to be taking agriculture the first time taught by Mr. Frank Spencer. Our sophomore year Mr. Spencer was again our home room teacher. Willie Hutcherson and Bobby Hall were chosen marshals, but Bobby became ill and Carlene Nickelston took his place. We all enjoyed Biology taught by Miss Dillon. Several more students made the ball teams. Jolly Juniors, the title we had been longing to hear. Mrs. Vernon was our home room adviser. We had several important events this year, first our trip to Raleigh. Mr. Spencer went with us. We will never forget that momentous day. Especially, our lunch at S. Sz W. Cafeteria and our visit to WPTF radio station. Then came the Junior-Senior banquet. We had a wonderful time decorating the gym and planning the menu. Our theme was Dutch, Last, but not least was our weiner roast at Reynolds Park. Frances Steele was chief marshal this year. Leroy Dodson and Donnie Amos were also marshals. Seniors at last! Mrs. Lyons was our home room teacher, other teachers were Mrs. Vernon, Mr. Reece and Mr. Gibson. We had a wonderful time learning our parts for the Senior Play. The title was He Was a Gay Senorita . Leroy Dodson was valedictorian and Annie Mae Varner salutatorian. A wonderful banquet was given to us by the juniors. Frances Steele was editor-in-chief of our annual. Mrs. Vernon's helpful guidance with the annual will long be remembered. Now we have come to the end of our school days. We have many fond mem- ories of the good times we have enjoyed and the friends we have made. We shall part with sadness, but we are looking forward to a happy future. CAROL CORN Historian 14
