fi] ■ JnffnnmCnnnSil i ill Donated by SUE MASSEY KIRKPATRICK UmaaUMWMmtm Plotting A Course From JOHNSTON COUNTY HERITAGE CENTER SMITTHFIELD, N.C. to Exciting Charming PARIS SMITHFIELD, L C. SMITHFIELD, PRTH CAROLIM HIGH SCHOOL THE STUDENT BODY THE STAFF OF THE SHIELD JENNIE BLOW LAYNE Editor JANET WALL, FRED HOYT Assistant Editors HOOKS STUDIO Photogrophy FOREWORD The study of French in our school has not only given us an acquaintance with the language and literature of Fra nce, but also an understanding of her contributions to modern culture. Paris to us is a magic word flashing before us a city of bright lights and elegance, the capital of pleasure and yet at the same time a treasure house of art and history and intellectual achievement. It was in our junior year that we chose April in Paris as our junior-senior banquet theme. Now in our senior year we chart a course to this city of en- chantment. We proudly dedicate the 1955 SHIELD to Dr. A. H. Rose who has been a member of our school com- mittee for approximately thirty years. For the past ten years, Dr. Rose has presented diplomas to the seniors at the graduation exercises. Graduation would just not be complete without Dr. Rose in this role. He has always been a staunch supporter and defender of our school. Much of our progress has come as a result of his untiring efforts in our behalf. Dr. Rose is beloved by all of our people. We wish for him many more happy and successful years of service both in his profession and as a member of our school committee. Our Teachers Guide and Direct Upper: Mr. Harold Bain, A.B.
