Oh, may we dare to dream and dare to do, Loving the truth, and to ourselves be true, May we so work and live through our days That friends may love us, honest men may praise, Of each misfortune make a sword to slay The dragon worries that obstruct our way. With heart that's strong to fight and never win May we not falter when the storms begin, For only fools contentment find and keep, To him who would achieve, the road is steep, The summit's ever farther on the way And g1ory's but a sunbeam, soon to stray. Still we must struggle till the day is gone And look across the purple hills to dawn, Be faithful to our work, respect its call, And find it not too great nor yet too small, Each task a blessing and for us the bestg We'll do it well and leave to God the rest, Zasf Zfjzfhazzcf gesfamenf We, the Senior Class of 1955, in the town of Sandy Ridge, the County of Stokes, and the State of North Carolina, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this our last will and testament, To our principal, Mr, Gibson, we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our 12 years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achievements that our future may contain, realizing that such glories--if any--will owe much to his example and counsel, To our homeroom advisor, Mr, Byrd, we bequeath our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for his helpfulness, To the entire faculty, we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed and which will do much to make it endurable for them, To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gtun, or crumpled notes we may have left about, To the rising Seniors we leave all our privileges and rights in classroom and chapel, aswell as any note- books, fountain pens, unfinished lollypops, or unfinished business includingdebts contracted while en- gaged in the business of being a Senior, also any boys or girls whom we may have left behind i.n our haste, In addition, we make the following bequests: Stanley Hill leaves his desire to sleep in Geometry to Paul Joyce.

'rn -n ximian- D.-nn!-of jlffsfofy The history of the Class of 1955 is so dramatic and colorful that it resembles a play. With your kind permission, I, as a drama critic of the Oak Leaves, will review the play called 'The Class of 1955' in an absolutely tuibiased manner, This is a play in four acts, with three all too brief intermissions, The play was written by the actors as they played their parts, under the direction of Mr, Gibson, the principal, and a band of capable assistants, the faculty, - The scenes all take place in the high school building, in corridors, classrooms and gymnasium, Act I shows the arrival of the class in the halls of learning in September, 1951, The faculty of the Sandy Ridge High School are strolling aimlessly through the corridors, when they catch a glimpse of something new and strange, Just inside the front door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, are the members of what became the Class of 1955. The faculty bade them enter and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friendship, Under the leadership of their teachers they are permitted to form an organization of their own, They elected the follow- ing officers: Shelby Jean Nelson, Stanley Hill, Geneva Smith and J, E, Fulcher, The freshmen be- come interested in basketball, football and baseball, Several of the students attained a slight degree of prowess in each, The marshals for graduation this year areg Geneva Smith and J, E, Fulcher, They suffer much agony and despair during this period because of the initiations into the different clubs, especially FHA and FFA, At the end of Act I a terrible disaster befalls the freshmen, Several, permanently disabled by this, leave the class forever, This disaster is called Final Examinations, Act II shows the same people in the same place, but they are now known as sophomores, owing to an advance in rank, There are pleasant diversions in the shape of a weiner roast at Guilford Battleground, club parties and being assistants in the Junior-Senior Banquet, Officers for this year are Donnie Priddy, Mary Jane Nelson, Audrey Brown and J, E, Fulcher, Another twelve weeks' intermission and we stagger in for Act III, In this act owing to an old educational custom, the sophomores become juniors, This is a year of hard work, but there are many delightful interludes to make this a cheerful act, Among these are the Junior-Senior Banquet, class parties and a trip to Raleigh, where we learned more about the history and affairs of our State. Donnie Priddy, Harold Amos, Doris Smith and Betty Jean Steele were elected officers for this act, Barbara Ayers, Virginia Ami Steele and Ted Spencer were appointed as marshals. Act IV arrives at last and is warmly received, By this time, the actors are so matured, so at ease, so changed for the better that they are difficult to recognize. We seem to view with rose- colored spectacles the scene that so soon will vanish, The action is more rapid and more compli- cated than in preceding acts, They elect as their officers, Barbara Ayers, Taylor Bottoms, Betty Jean Steele ind Russell Martin, There is more comedy than before and there are delightful inter- polations, the Senior Play, class parties, a day spent in the Planetarium, at Chapel Hill, and at Duke University, a tour of Winston Salem, and the delightful banquet given us by the juniors, As the act nears its close, white faces and brows drawn with worry are noticed, For this is the final struggle, Victory now means freedom from the dreaded study and his examinations, At last the fatal hour arrives. The attack of the Seniorsis brave and well organized, To a man--and a woman--the seniors emerge victorious, The strenuous preparation for battle made our cast more and more familiar with study, which was a blessing in disguise and everybody is happy. The play ends in a burst of glory, with flowers, music, and congratualtions--in short, graduation exercises, and we have the well-known and ever-popular, happy ending.
