lllS'l'0llY Twelve years ago, we, the class of '51, entered those wide front gates of Selma High School for the first time. Little did we realize the number of times we would enter them before we became Seniors. Eight long years were spent in preparing for the time when we would become high school stu- dents. During these years we had our good times, quarrels, and hard work as others before us have had. Of course, we think that we always played, worked, and fought a little harder than anyone else. There are many events in our past that we will never be able to forget. For example, there was the time Miss Newsome stood Franklin Anderson in the corner and batted his head against the wall and the time that Alice Brantley talked back to Miss Whitaker. Four years ago we became the Freshman Class of Selma High. This was a big moment for the Class of '5l. We were heralded into high school lby ourselvesl as the most promising, the most intelligent, and the best looking class ever to enter Selma High School. We knew that we were destined to gain world- wide recognition, to achieve many honors, and to break all kinds of records. After a few days we de- cided to get our heads out of the clouds and keep the upperclasses from learning what extraordinary classmates they had! Well, all right, what really happened was that our teachers set us on the straight and narrow in a hurry. l guess they just didn't appreciate our intelligence and good looks. Geraldine McCray was our marshal for the year. Our sponsors were Mrs. Totten and Miss Cobb. Social life for the year consisted of a Weiner roast held on a corner of the school ground. The next year we became Sophomores. Mrs. Totten and Miss Ward were our sponsors that year. This was the most amazing thing we had ever experienced! Mrs, Totten had come up with us from the ninth to the tenth grade. This was the only time that we ever had a teacher smart enough to pass her grade. We had a weiner roast at Holt's Lake and a storm came up just as we started to roast the weiners. Yep, you guessed it, somebody swiped half the food. Nobody knows until today who took it??? Several boys and girls were waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet held at the Coun- try Club. Fred Jones and Geraldine McCray were our marshals. Nothing else very exciting happened that year until we got our report cards at the end of school and found that we were Juniors. Our sponsors during our .lunior year were Mrs. Boyd and Miss Holt. We had calmed down a bit by then and they had an easy job that year. We were too busy planning for a magazine sale, the .lunior play, and the Junior-Senior Banquet to get into much trouble. Our play, Faith, Hope and Flarity, was without doubt the most successful ever produced in Eastern North Carolina! Why, rumor had it thbt the entire cast was going to Hollywood to make the play into a movie. We didn't go, however, because it would have interfered with our school work. The theme of the .lunior-Senior banquet was Under the Big Top. lt was held in the gym which was decorated as a big circus tent. A delicious meal was served and we thought that it was a wonderful banquet. Marshals for the year were Geraldine McCray, Betty Lois Boyette, and Turner Williams. Fred .lones was chief marshal. . This year we did what everybody thought was impossible. We became Seniors. Now we are the Big Wheels of Selma High School. Now we have the front seats in Chapel and everybody looks up to us, or, at least, they're supposed to. Gur sponsor for the year is Miss Oliver. We still have the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Senior play before us. Of all the nice things that have happened to us, the best is yet to come. Our greatest ambition will be fulfilled when we walk down the aisle to receive our diplomas. We have many happy years before us but we know that the happiest were spent in good old Selma High.
