Along with new green leaves will come thoughts of commencement. We hope our yearbook will tell the story of the passing year so that When Your Hair Has Turned To Silver you may relive those dear old golden rule days. As autumn leaves are falling, another school year is go- ing by. Students stand on the campus casually discussing their thoughts of the moment. Quickly the year will pass, filled with classes, play practice, club activities, ball games, and the spirit of song can bind them all together. Starting the New Year . . Faculty . . .

In our opening assembly, he introduced to us our new principal, Mr. Ola H. Forrest. The elections committee consisting of Mr. Baker, Wayne Forbes, and Kaye Hathaway work out plans for the first election of the year — secretary of Student Council.

Excitement grew as the cast for the senior play was picked and the date was set for the performance. It soon vanished, however, and was overtaken by disappointment at having to postpone the date be- cause of an epidemic of Asian Flu. To the members of the cast, it seemed as if that night in March would never come — but it did and it was one they ' ll never forget.

From the 8:25 arrival to the 3 o ' clock departure, the hours are filled with excited planning and participation revolving around the curriculum and extracurricular activities. Pictured are at least two of the classes which occur each period. Since classes span 100 minutes, two days are required to complete the schedule of six class periods, spiced by the daily homeroom and activity periods. When the buses arrive students report to their homerooms— buy paper, pencils, or other needs from the supply store — have absence slips signed by Mr. Forrest — or do whatever is necessary to prepare for the day. omeroom In the 12B homeroom period some are studying, some are visiting, others scanning magazines, or getting that homework they forgot last night. dirit period Many a mile Mr. Baker rides teaching aspiring motorists such as Randolph Webb the rules of the road.

Other tasks include checking in magazines and mail, auditing invoices, counting daily circulation, and getting out overdue notices. Like postmen, they serve quietly, but well.

Although the stress and strain could have Bewitched, Bothered, and Be- wildered them, they remained calm in fulfilling their duties. Layout editors, Betsy Cobb and Jeanette Col- son, strive for originality in arranging pages for the Maccripine. They have worked faithfully in any task. Congratulations are in order for a job well done. 1 Typists Shirley Varnell and Virginia Webb have really kept those typewriters busy this year. With the assistance of the typing adviser, Mrs. Shirley Peaden, they have spent many hours on their duties. It was the job of the sports editors, Carolyn Dunn and Rochelle Whaley, to plan the yearbook sports section. Getting the photographer to capture the exciting high lights of a game was important. They are shown selecting the best shots after a picture-taking session. Elizabeth Jefferson and Henry York have served the staff faithfully as circulation managers. Soliciting yearbook subscrip- tions and planning an assembly program to boost sales were part of their job. Now, final thrills! Elizabeth and Henry are happily distributing the ' 58 Maccripine.

Accidents haunted a few of the main players during the first half of the season. Betty Gardner, Carolyn Dunn, and Joe Webb were on crutches at the same time. The Dragons ended their season with an exciting 8-16 record. Close scores? The team had its share this year. Several games were won or lost by 1 to 2 points. Equally exciting, the Dragonettes bagged a 14-10 record. The greatest victory was the defeat of their biggest rival, West Edgecombe. Tension rnounted as tournament time rolled around. In spite of their valiant efforts, both teams went down in defeat to the Tarboro Tigers in the first playoffs. Our boys lost by the slim margin of only two points. A brunswick stew supper for both teams and cheerleaders provided a perfect ending for a suc- cessful year. junior Uariit y Get that rebound boys!

Because of You Reviewing the high school years by the events recorded in this annual, we are not unaware of those who made them possible — you, our parents. Perhaps you have thought many times we did not realize the love you have for us. But we remember — the P. T. A. suppers you served — the plays and ball games you watched so proudly — the anxiety you felt when we became upset — the pride of our accomplishments — the encouragement you gave when we were sure we had failed — the many quiet talks that helped us grow up — the personal sacrifices that provided the extra money for the party dress or the new suit. We do remember. We meant to tell you so many times. A great big thank-you for making those happy years possible. May this annual remind you of those high school years we shared together. THE SENIORS BOOSTERS Our sincere appreciation is extended to you for your contribution. It indicates your interest in us, our project, and our school. Thank you for your support and helping make our yearbook possible. Rocky Mount Wilson Macclesfield H. B. KINCHELOE DR. H. FUERST MILBURN FELTON R. W. DANIEL WAYNE HAWKINS C. H. WISE JOE WHEELER MRS.
