CLASS HISTGRY Cflontinuedj Cut Junior year meant the meeting of two separate classes which united to make one large, happy class. To speed this union we decided to have a weiner roast at Reynolds Park. After a few rounds of sizzling, juicy hotdogs washed down with Pepsis the ice was broken and we were well on our way to becoming acquainted. A carnival always attracts attention and the one the P. T. A. sponsored in the gym was no exception. We juniors came and had a swell time munching popcorn and carrying balloons which occasionally met a tragic end at the point of a pin. No carnival 'is complete without a fortune teller and no one could leave 'without having his fortune told. Nervously we held out ticket stub hoping ours would win a door prize. Fun? Yes, we had it and now it is memories of a wonderful time. We sold magazines out Junor year to get money- for the junior-Senior Banquet. We divided into two teams. The losing team gave the winning team a party at the Community House in Kernersville. At last the eagerly awaited month of March arrived -the month when we would entertain the Seniors at a banquet at the Cavalier Grill. For some of the girls it meant buying their first evening gown. We thought we were pretty important. The theme of the banquet was Hitch Your Wagon to a Star . After we had sung songs or listened to someone else sing we stuffed out- selves with turkey and all of the good things that gq with it. Then we hitched our wagon to a star and hurried home never to forget our wonderful banquet! May was the month that found us as well as everyone else excited about the May Day program. Our four attendants in the court looked especially It was a very colorful event-pretty girls, handsome boys, bright costumes, gay music. Before school was out we decided to meet during the summer and go to Hanging Rock. In june we did just that. We met at the school house' and went from there on a truck. We swam, went boat riding and ate far too much food. Halloween always means a party so we decided to have one at Disher's Cabin, a place that was to be overrun by us a number of times that Senior year. We had great fun eating and dancing. Some found the living room floor too crowded to dance and went to the kitchen which was just as good for that purpose. After a swell time we hurried home trying to dodge all spooks and witches that come with Halloween for we had had enough excitement already for one night. What is more fun than a hay ride followed by a weiner roast at Disher's? We Seniors couldn't think of anything! After the hayride we were all scratched up Cthat's what the hay didj and ready for hotdogs and Pepsis. Nc one could persuade us to leave before we had danced several times. Another year' and another P.-T. A. Carnival with all of its games and fortune tellers. Bobby Dean Smith was dressed like a clown with a very large cigar in his mouth. iWe strongly suspect that there were pins in the crowd for every time we turned around our balloons disappeared with a loud bang. Seniors were well represented in the Christmas Pageant. -It was really very beautiful and we enjoyed taking part in it. ' Along with Santa and all the other things that come with Christmas were Christmas Parties. Ours was at Dishers four, favorite meeting placeb. We with several of the teachers had lots of fun playing games, eating, and dancing, which had become our regular routine. About midnight we said goodnight. A new year usually means something pretty special, for us it was a New Year's dance stopped just in time to wel- come the New Year. Claude Swaim was the New Year and Van Willard was the old year. Claude entered at twelve o'clock and Van rushed our. Valentine Day brought another dance for which we put on our best bib and tucker. Cupid in the air and youth in our spirits combined for a delightful evening. Money, money, money! It might be the root of all evil 'but it was also necessary for us to publish an annual. We decided to sell Christmas cards. We had two sides -Owen and Betty Ruth's-Betty Ruth's team won so Owen's team gave them a party. We dressed appropri- ately in blue jeans and loud shirts for this formal affair. Spire of the fact that not many went we had a lot of Spontaneous excitement filled the air when we learned that there was to be a Senior Play, especially since no one had given a play in a number of years. Everyone wanted a part but there were only eleven characters so many of us were turned down. We had fun practicing at night not to mention the time spent munching dough- nuts and drinking coffee. Mrs. Reavis was always patient with us even when we cut up. We had lots of trouble with our temperamental ghost but it was worth it! May of '49-a very special honor to us as Seniors and another lovely banquet added to our memories. This time we were the ones being honored. The Juniors did a grand job of it. It made us suddenly realize that our school days were nearly over. p Then came that momentous month of June. Its mem- ories are mingled with happiness and sadness, a feeling of accomplishment and one of just beginning, importance and insignificance. There were so many last things to be done and so little time to do it. We hardly 'seemed to begin practicing graduation exercises when we found ourselves receiving those much desired and treasured diplomas. Graduation was over, school days ended.
