V lx a , W ,A iggvs - 'TQ WW-.W HENRY L. HOUSTON No matter what happens always be yourself! This problem of being willing to be yourself is as old as history, says Dr. James Gordon Gilkey, and as universal as human life. This problem of being unwilling to be yourself is the hidden spring behind many neuroses and psychoses and complexes. Angelo Patri says: Nobody is so miserable as he who longs to be somebody and something other than the person he is in body and mind. The renowned William James was speaking of men who had never found themselves when he declared that the average man develops only ten per cent of his latent mental abilities. Compared to what we ought to be, he wrote, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thin! broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use. You and I have such abilities, so let's not waste a second worrying because we are not like other people. You are something new in this world. Never before, since the beginning of time, has there ever been anybody exactly like youg and never again throughout all the ages to come will there ever be anybody exactly like you again. The new science of genetics informs us that you are what you are largely as a result of twenty-four chromosomes contributed by your father and twenty-four chromosomes contributed by your mother. These forty-eight chromosomes comprise everything that determines what you inherit. In each chromosome there may be, says Amran Scheinfeld, anywhere from scores to hundreds of genes-with a single gene, in some cases, able to change the whole life of an individual. Truly, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Yes, you are something new in this world. Be glad of it. Make the most of what nature gave you. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must cultivate your own little garden. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life. As Emerson said in his essay on Self-Reliance, There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignoranceg that imitation is suicide: that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion: that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.

' 'f E' be CLASS HISTORY A long time ago we were proud to enter the eighth grade. There the Sharon seventh grade met the Woodlawn seventh grade. This was the beginning of many close friendships. We worked hard to get to the ninth grade, our first year in High School. We were carefree and happy. We enjoyed many parties together. In our Sophomore year we elected Bill Baker, Presidentg Bill Hartis, Vice-Presidentg Bill Washam, Secretary, and Libby Phillips as Treas- urer. We gave many parties and had much fun. We came back in 1948 as Juniors. We had much to do this year. Our class officers were Bill Hartis, President, Libby Phillips, Vice-President, Boots Lowder, Secretaryg and Bill Allmon, Treasurer. We had to work hard to make money for our Junior-Senior Banquet. We gave a Minstrel, a Gay Nineties review, sold Christmas cards, and held class Tournaments in basketball. Finally we made enough to have a very successful Banquet at the Barringer Hotel. Everyone had a wonderful time. We could look back on our Junior year as a great success. Finally it came: September, 1949. We were Seniors! This year, as well as last, we had a lot of work to do. We elected our class officers. They were: Libby Phillips, President, Sue Smith, Vice-President, Bill Baker, Secretary, and Bob Jones, Treasurer. To make money for our Senior Trip, we started our Square Dances, which were held on Thursday nights. We began work on our Annual and finally finished it after much hard work. We are looking to the final events of the year: The Junior- Senior Banquet, the Senior Play, and most of all the Commencement Exercises. We have enjoyed having Mrs. M. O. Smith as our class sponsor for the past two years. Though we hate to leave, we are looking forward to the day when we will receive our diplomas. We appreciate the help and co-operation of all those who have made ours a successful school career, Bill Allmon, Historian CLASS PROPHECY June 1, 1960 Sharon, N. C. Dear Dewey: How is the Fuller Brush business? I am doing very good, hope are too. I was in town the other day and who should I meet? Bill Hartis Bill Allmon, and of all things they were married to Siamese Twins, know how inseparable they were. Bill Hartis told me Bill Baker pitching for the Hornets this season. I went on down the street and whose establishment should I go but Bob Jones Pool Room. Bob wasn't in but they told me he was a you and you was into cross the street in Joel's, Mitchell's, and Philip's Swap Shop. It would have paid me not to have gone in there, before I could get out they had sold me a car without a motor. Bob told me that Mabel was running the Spring Follies at the Broad- way with Betty Anne as the Star of the show. I went down to the theater to watch rehearsal. As I was walking down Tryon Street I heard Be Bop Music coming out of the third story window. On the glass it said, Smith and Jackson Dance Instructors, you know how they used to love to dance. I started up the steps and on the second floor on the door I read Sharon Times, Editor, Faye Samonds. I decided to wait and see Jim and Sue later so I left. I wanted to go out and see what the old school looked like and the only transportation was the Sharon Coach. On the way to the Bus Station I went by the Public Library, and who do you think I met coming down the steps but Katherine Black, she is now Head Librarian. I went on down to the Bus Station and got on the Bus. Boots Lowder was the bus driver of all people. She always did like to drive busses. Just outside the City Limits on the Pineville Road, where Hi1l's Furniture store used to be, was nothing but signs. One of the signs read, Now under New Management, Dot Hill, Proprietor. I picked up a paper and on the back page was an advice to the Love- lorn column written by Sara Gray. On the way back we passed Libby Phillips' house, Boots remarked that Libby was now sponsoring a Square Dance every Thursday night in the Sharon Gym, she always liked the class dances so well. We got back to town safely. I decided to go to the Armory and see the girls wrestle. The program said the main event was to be between the Champion and Madame Half-Nelson. Who should the Madame be but Mary Ruth Caldwell, she won as usual because of the practice she got at the basketball games. After the match I was waiting to catch the bus to go back to my hotel and Evelyn Shepherd walked up. I asked her what she was doing out at such a late hour as this. She said she was French teacher at Dot Boyd's private school, and had been work- ing. Dot you know started a private school of her own after she got out of school. Yours truly, Lloyd Wallace Class Prophet LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT I We, the class of 1950, Sharon High School, being of sound mind and Judgment, do make and declare this to be our last will and covenant, here- by revoking any such wills and covenants as may heretofore have been made.

We had a pretty hard time, but our advisor, Mrs. Bookout, better known as Miss Morgan, helped us along. Our officers were Pat Tucker, President: Jean Shore.

Our teachers were Mrs. M. O. Smith and Miss Helen Alexander. The greatest event of this year was our visit to Raleigh where we visited the capitol and other educational buildings. In the ninth grade, we were back together again, our home room teacher being Mrs. Carl Bookout. We were thrilled by the fact that we were finally in high school. The members of the class took an active part in the high school activities. In the tenth grade, our home room teacher was Mr. L. S. Green. The class officers were: Jimmy Potts, President: Billy Davis, Vice President: Iris Phillips, Secretaryg and Ella Alexander, Treasurer.

We had a very large class as we had students both from Woodlawn and Sharon. We selected as officers Eddy Alexander, President: Jimmy Reitzel, Secretary: and Boots Korbler, Treasurer. This was a very enjoyable year for us. In the fall we entered the ninth grade with Miss Smith as our home room teacher. We selected as officers Mary Ellington, Presidentg Walton Hill, Vice President: Kay Williams, Secretary: and Harold Gene Jackson, Treasurer. Being in High School had its complications, especially the changing of classes. We learned the routine quickly, and now it offers no complications at all. Having only four subjects made the schedule quite easy for us. We had several class parties and along with our other activities it was a very enjoyable year for us. We are looking forward to becoming Sophomores.
