,4 Wah afylftemzfrirs Classmates, There was a time, When we planned to roam the world around, And visit many pleasant lands, Traveling the highroads, adventure bound, Exploring magic cities on foreign strands Bot now, We hear the thunder, and the falling rain Chattering against the window pane, Holding us close under these attic eaves, While we're reliving class night again. So come, Classmates, listen to me, Let 's weave a web of memories, Of the good old times that used to be When we were seniors gay and free. Let's spin a woof of purest gold, To bind our school annals and hold Our past in one great band-- Unbreakable by careless hand. Z1 f f X ,:1. .- Let's weave in this golden web, The images that tend to ebb And fade away as years race on-- And here today, but tomorrow gone. Let's lace real things in the weave-- The things in whichxwe all believe, Like love and kindness, and noble deeds, Faith and charity, and our senior creeds. And we'll not forget threads to add Of games we played, and the fun we had On field, in room, and in the hall: All these things we'll recall. And better still, Classmates, let's come every year From our places on the shadowy wall, And celebrate in song and happy cheer, These memories of ours, all and all. Class poet Shirley Greene Class Motto: Endeavor to know what is right and do it, dreading HO CODSCQUSDCGS . Class Colors: Blue and White Mascots: Jeanette Asbi ll Craig Bronson

Glass His ary In September 1950, we, the class of 1954, made our first appearance in high school. For eight years we had looked forward to this time. We were glad and proud that we had achieved this goal. Freshmen! The Freshman year was the be- ginning of a new experience for us. We were a class of sixty-two. Miss Broadaway was the home room teacher of the girls and Mr. Alex- ander was the home room teacher of the boys. Soon we were settled and had elected class officers. They were as follows: Benkie Kearns, president: Edwin Chriscoe, vice-president: Helen Strider, secretary: Elaine Tucker, treasurer. The girls on the basketball team were as follows: Dorothy Cole, Betty Jo Loggins, Doris Strider, Catherine Cagle, Loberta McNeill, and Shirley Presnell. The only boy who was on the basket- ball team was Benkie Kearns. The boys who were on the football team were: Ray Loggins, Bobby Lawson, and Jack Langley. We visited Raleigh and Chapel Hill during our first year in high school. We finished our freshman year of high school and looked forward to summer vacation. Sophomores! We began our Sophomore year with fifty-three in our class. We were di- vided again. Mrs. Wade Harris was the home room teacher for the girls and Mr. Parker, the boys. The officers for the class were: Billy John- son, president: Joann Latham, vice-president: Dale Lowdermilk, secretary: and Hoyt Auman, treasurer. The girls who were on the basketball team were: Dorothy Cole, Loberta McNeill, Cath- erine Cagle, and Elaine Tucker. The boys on the basketball team were: Everette Walker, Ronald Lucas, Bobby Lawson, Jack Langley, Roy Lee Chriscoe, and Benkie Kearns. The boys who played football during their sophomore year were Everette Walker, Bobby Lawson, Jack Langley, Benkie Kearns, Lester Allen, Harold Hammond, and David Graves. Mrs. Harris ac- companied the girls to Morrow Mountain on a picnic during this year. Mr. Parker took the boys to the cigarette factory at Winston-Salem also this year. Within a few short months we were out for summer vacation again. Juniors! This year we had lost five of our classmates with forty-eight left. We were happy to have Mrs. Moore as our home room teacher. Our class officers were: Billy Johnson, president: Dell Kemp, vice-president: Joann Latham, secre- tary: Betty Cockman, treasurer. The girls on the basketball team were Loberta McNeill and Cath- erine Cagle. The boys on the basketball team were Bobby Lawson, Ronald Lucas, Joe Need- ham, Benkie Kearns, and Roy Lee Chriscoe. The football players were Bobby Lawson, Harold Hammond, Everette Walker, Joe Needham, and Benkie Kearns. We were happy to order our class rings this year. We decided on blue sets for them. In order..to raise money for the Junior- Senior banquet, we sold magazines and gave the play, Little Women. We gave the banquet in May. One day we boarded the activity bus and went to the Duke Gardens and to the Ra- leigh-Durham airport. Nine members of our class became Beta Club members. They were as fol- lows: Helen Strider, Dell Kemp, Lucy Rae Tedder, Ruby Hayes, Tulah Faye Brewer, Martha King, Jo'Ann Latham, Thelma Cole, and Dale Lowder- milk. Seniors! Now after three years of hard work, mixed with much fun, we earned the title of Dignified Seniors. Our class is considerably smaller than when we entered high school as a Freshman class. We are now thirty-nine in number. Our class officers are: Banner Shelton, president: Helen Strider, vice-president: Betty Cockman, secretary: and Harold Hammond, treasurer. The only girl on the basketball team is Loberta McNeill. The boys on the basketball team are Joe Needham, Ronald Lucas, Roy Lee Chriscoe, David Graves, and David Sykes. The football players are Joe Needham, Everette Walker, Jack Langley, David Graves, and Max Robbins. Miss Wannamaker is our home room teacher. The annual staff is as follows: Editor-in- chief, Helen Strider: Assistant Editor, David Graves: business manager, Doris Jean Strider: snapshot editor, Betty Cockman: circulation manager, Billy Johnson: assistant circulation manager, Joann Latham: sports editor, Ronald Lucas: assistant sports editor, Loberta McNeill: advertising manager, Tulah Faye Brewer: assis- tant advertising manager, Jimmy Cagle: grade editor, Bonnie Poole: assistant grade editor, Jack Langley: advisor, Miss Wannamaker: assistant, Lucy Rae Tedder. The p l a y, G-randad Steps Out is our Senior class play. Our class night play is Attic Memories. We are looking for- ward to our trip to Washington. lt will be with regret that we leave high school and our friends. We will miss everyone, but we will be happy that we have acquired some principles which will help us on life's iourney. RU BY HAYES, Class Historian
