Saratoga High School - Sanoca Yearbook (Saratoga, NC)

Text from Pages 1 - 64 of the 1959 volume:

• ' V ' . ' -]i ; M it, Joreworcf Because of the pleasant memories of our days at Saratoga High School, we have published this tenth edition of the Sanoca, In the Sanoca, we have re- called some of the most enjoyable times of our lives. Educational and social opportunities have been ex- tended to us and have been graciously accepted. So in remembrance of this school year, 1958-1959, we proudly present the Sanoca. Editor-in-Chief Co-Editor A 11 right - - get quiet .... What ' s that? . . . Class, what am I going to do with you — come in here every day and give you a dic- tionary and let you copy about ten pages? What a note of nostalgia will ring to us as we remember the per- sonality and instruction of the one from whom these remarks issued. Because of his loyalty, sincerity, great patience — yes, and even his severity with us throughout the last five years, this Senior Class of 1958-1959 dedicate the tenth edition of theSanoca to a much loved faculty member, Mr. Loy Rogers. LEST WE FORGET JULIA EVA BERRY GRACE LILLY BELL TYSON JONES WEST ALSTON MERLE LENA FELTON OVERMAN Time brings changes which we are often reluctant to accept. It separates those among whom the bond of friendship has grown stronger with the passing of years; yet we know that changes are essential to progress. We feel that this institution, which has played so large a role in shaping our lives, is taking a momentous step in the direction of prog- ress, and we would not ask that it be otherwise. However, when the name Saratoga School is mentioned, it will bear the connotation of those who have been its essence for so many years- -for so many of us.

It was hard to realize we were actually freshmen, with Miss Bordeaux sending us off on the road toward graduation. We elected as our officers: Larry Baker, President; Dennis Goff, Vice President; Patsy Gardner, Secretary; and Frances Gay, Treasurer. Highlights of the year were a surprise birthday party for Miss Bordeaux; the crowning of Mildred Hill as Halloween Queen; and a wiener roast and hay ride. Entering our Sophomore year with eighteen members under the leadership of Mr. Rogers, we assumed more responsibility. The following officers were elected: Dennis Goff, President; Larry Baker, Vice President; Barbara Crady, Secretary; Hilda Worley, Treasurer. Highlights of the Sophomore year were the tapping of five members of the class into the Beta Club; Faye Smith ' s representing our class in the Halloween contest; Mrs. T. P. Ellis feeding the class at a delicious dinner and Mrs. R. R. Baker ' s party in her home. The visit to Williamsburg, Virginia, with Miss Bordeaux; a party given by Faye Smith; and a wiener roast in the park climaxed an eventful year. Our Junior year shifted even more weight upon our shoulders. Mrs. Galloway, our homeroom teacher, shared with fifteen members many delightful and enjoyable events. Officers for the Junior year were: Hilda Worley, President; Dennis Goff, Vice President; Patsy Gardner, Secretary; Faye Smith, Treasurer. Actively participating in the annual magazine drive, the class received an honor from the Curtiss Publishing Company for reaching a goal of $750. Patsy Gardner was the most outstanding salesman. As a reward we received tickets to the Ice Capades. Hilda Worley represented our class in the Halloween Beauty Queen contest. In November we presented Moon Shy a mystery -comedy under the direction of Miss Bordeaux. After the play the class ate supper in Farmville. In April, with the help of Mrs. Galloway and Miss Bordeaux, we worked enthusiastically on the Junior -Senior banquet. The theme, April Showers, was proclaimed a spectacular success. Other high- lights of our Junior year were Mrs. R. R. Baker ' s breakfast following the Junior -Senior banquet; Frances Gay ' s banquet honoring the Juniors; Dorothy Poythress and Mildred Hill ' s marshmallow roast. A wiener roast was en- joyed at the end of school. Having looked forward to our Senior year with Mrs. Virginia Gay, fourteen members were finally rewarded by its arrival. The Senior Class officers were: Larry Baker, President; Dennis Goff, Vice President; Faye Smith, Treasurer; Sue Ellis, Secretary. On September 16, 1958, after much anticipation we proudly received our class rings. Beginning our first major project of the year, the annual business managers. Patsy Gardner and Larry Baker, started the long hard struggle of selling advertisements. Shortly after this, the co-editors, Barbara Crady and Sue Ellis, along with other staff members, began the arduous task of compiling the tenth edition of the SANOCA, The two weeks preceding Halloween found the entire Senior Class working diligently on the annual program. Many were the hilarious moments we spent in practice. Climaxing Halloween for us was Barbara Crady, who represented us in the beauty contest. Electing our mascots, Susan Baker and Tommy Beamon, made us feel that we had taken one big giant step toward graduation. To begin the Christmas festivities we entertained ourselves at a Christmas party in the community building. Other events of the year were the following: Our second dramatic production in March; a barbecue supper to raise money for our Washington trip; the magnificent banquet and dance with which we were honored by the Juniors; and finally in May our never-to-be-forgotten trip to Washington. As a climax to twelve eventful years, fourteen happy Seniors were presented their diplomas May 21, 1959. Historian, Larry Baker PATSY ROSE GARDNER To do two things at once is to do neither . MILDRED JEAN MORRIS Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing. ■ . „ It ' s Graduation Time It ' s a time for joy, a time for sadness; A time for tears, a time for gladness; A time for remembering the past twelve years of our days at old S.H. S. Remembering the fun, the joy and the laughter; The tears, the heartaches, and the sweet ever-afters; The halls that rang with such wonderful excitement; The teachers of whom we were so very much frightened. But now it ' s Graduation Time. Hi ...I Yes, soon we ' ll be going through that door; That door through which we ' ll be entering no more. Out into life ' s long path we will travel With many a problem yet to be unraveled. For now it ' s Graduation Time. Soon we will walk down that long aisle; And on our sad faces we ' ll wear a smile; But in our hearts there ' ll be regrets. For now we must pan where we met. Our days here at old S.H. S. are o ' re. Dorothy Poythress, Class Poet Gfass CProp ieci As I was boarding the Saratoga Sputnik Special for a half hour trip around the world, 1 couldn ' t help thinking of all my classmates. Upon taking off, someone said, There is the man who constructed this Sputnik. Looking up, 1 saw it was no other than Dennis Goff. Yes, Dennis had finally built something that he could send up, since the rocket he made in high school never got off the ground. We knew that Dennis would contribute something magnificent to this scientific world. Dennis told us we were going to circle the earth and might catch occasional glimpses of familiar scenes. Looking down on the earthly creatures through my powerful eyes, 1 saw a very dignified man walking along. As we passed over 1 could tell it was Larry Baker. Larry had become a C. P. A. and now was retired, because he had made all the money he wanted. As Larry knocked on the door of a unique house, who should come to the door but Barbara Whitley. Barbara had been planning her Japanese -style home back in high school, and now her dream had come true. We caught a fleeting glance of a modern brick home. Who was that sitting on the lawn with a pencil and pad in her lap? Why, it was none other than Dorothy Poythress. Even though married and a mother, Dorothy has continued with her career of writing and is doing very well at it too. Who could that young lady be in the all-white uniform? Why, it ' s Helen Walston, Yes, Helen has finally received her degree in nursing and has come back to Saratoga as community nurse. As we were going over the Saratoga Planters Bank, 1 saw a young woman typing. Wondering who this could be, I looked even closer and saw it was Sue Ellis Smith. Sue, during her high school days, had talked of working in the bank, and now she is holding that position and looking after her own family. Thinking of families, 1 heard that Mildred Morris has gone to France to live with her husband while he is stationed there. Mildred and the children have not been settled in France very long, but from all reports she is well satisfied. As we were speeding on, 1 saw another one of our classmates, Faye Smith. Faye, after going to King ' s Business College, is now secretary to the Governor of North Carolina and of course is married to Grant Mangum. I later saw a petite young woman walking down a street. Why, it was none other than Alma Reason, Alma was al- ways the smallest one in outclass and was always complaining because she couldn ' t find anything to fit her. Now, her problem has been permanently solved, she has a business of her own selling everything for small people. We were zooming over acres and acres of rich farm land. Who was that down there putt-putting up and down the field on that great big John Deere tractor. Why, it was Garland Webb, Yes, after learning all about modern farming at S. H. S. , Garland has his own farm — with about two thousand acres, I believe. Who was that girl pacing around in an ultra-modern beauty salon? 1 believe it was Frances Gay! Why, yes it was, Frances went to Greenville to take a Beauty Course, and she now has a salon of her own. She really has the business! Eventually we were passing over a larger business firm in the state of Maryland, Walking down the steps was a girl who looked just like my old classmate Belva Dunn, Why, it was Belva! Yes, back in high school Belva was always talk- ing about going to Maryland to get a job, 1 see she stuck to it. Good gracious! What in the world was all that noise down there? It seemed as if they were putting a new subway through Saratoga; and who was that construction crew working so hard? The sign on each of the machines read Reason ' s Construction Company, Yes, now 1 remember, James Reason had always wanted to be an engineer, but never had the slightest idea that he would own his own company one day. As I was getting off the Sputnik, I decided to get back to my job and tell the children in my kindergarten of my wonderful experience. I taught school a few years and saved enough money to establish a kindergarten of my own. The Kiddies ' House. I am really enjoying being with all of those little angels. Prophet Patsy Gardner JSasi loJi ' T ancf C es a nen We, the Senior Class of 1959, having sound minds and healthy bodies, do hereby declare this our Last Will and Testament, leaving our most honored and prized possessions to the people hereforth named: General Terms: To the Faculty we leave our respect, gratitude, and appreciation for the help, advice and never-ending patience which they have given us through the past four years. To the School, we leave our devotion and our unfailing loyalty. To Mrs. Gay, we leave our sincere thanks and gratitude for all that she has done for us this year. We hope that we will not let her down in the years to come. To the Juniors of Saratoga, Stanstonsburg, and Gardners, we leave our position as Seniors, hoping that their Senior year will be as happy and successful as ours has been. Barbara Crady wills her ability to obtain a husband to Alice EUchardson, hoping that she will find as much happiness as Barbara. Larry Baker wills his love for dates and parties to Cullen Howell. Hoping that CuUen will have as much fun as he has had. Jean Dunn wills her position as Mr. Honeycutt ' s secretary to anyone crazy enough to take it. Sue Ellis wills her title as F.F.A. Sweetheart to Mary Lamm, hoping that Mary will enjoy wearing the coat as much as Sue does. Patsy Gardner wills her love for dragging the creamery to Barbara Jean Harrell. Just don ' t flirt too much, Barbara Jean. Dennis Goff wills his smooth dance steps and talent for singing to Carl Jo Boswell, hoping that he will enjoy dancing as much as Dennis does. Mildred Morris wills her job in the lunchroom to anyone who will put a little more on the plates. Frances Gay wills her cute short haircut to Lana Joyce Scott, so that when hot weather comes, Lana Joyce will be prepared. Dorothy Poythress wills her position as chief cheerleader to Delance Harrell, hop- ing that she will have a chance at it with all the newcomers. Alma Reason wills her tiny waistline to anyone who thinks she needs to go on a strict diet. Garland Webb wills his dependable ways to Bob Windham, hoping that Bob and Ann won ' t have any more trouble. James Reason wills his magnetism for women to Bobby Ray West. Be careful, Bobby Ray, or you ' ll get hitched. Helen Walston wills her happy-go-lucky ways and friendly attitude to Kay Little, not that Kay needs them, however, with all the friends she already has. I, Faye Smith, will my position as Class Treasurer to Carol Thigpen, hoping that Carol won ' t get careless and spend all the Class money.
