Senior Class History In the fall of 1959, the graduating class of 1963 encountered the first of four great years at Southwest. This new way of school life was an exciting, new experience. In our new surroundings the freshman class settled down to strenuous work and everyday life. Everyone entered into the social life by attending the Sadie Hawkins and Masquerade Dances.

Leading the class in school activities were Lynn Adcock, President, Brenda Barney, Miriam Brewer, Gaye Martin, Shirley Parker, Tink Schaffer, Lanier Woosley,Vice-Presidents, Laura Hampton, Secretary, and Betty Brewer, Treasurer.

Organization of the Junior Class began with the election of such capable class officers as Bucky Martin, President, Leonard Hayes, Nancy Huff, Shirley Parker, and Dale Stelter, Vice-President, Laura Hampton, Secretary, and Miriam Brewer, Treasurer.

Gilmer Binkley led the Southwest mat team to the Forsyth County and Tournament Championships. Miss Cook led the girls volleyball and softball teams to the conference championships. Realizing that we would soon end our high school career, we participated in many important activities-athletic picnics, class picnic, Class Day, Baccalaureate Sermon, and graduation. As each day passed, our minds pondered our motto, So little done, so much to do. BETTY JOYCE NEWSOM R.E. SCHARFF, JR. Class Historians 154
