We were a jolly bunch of boys and girls anxious to meet our teacher and start our school life. Mrs. Beta Rogers lead us through our first year. It was from her that we had our first lessons in reading, ’riting and rithmetic. Time sped by as the years piled up, and we found ourselves in that ““Never-never- land”—High School. Scared to death and afraid it would show. It did. How green we were, but how quickly we bloomed! Our algebra wasn’t easy, neither were the other subjects compared to the grammar school work, yet we overcame each obstacle and breezed into the tenth grade. In the tenth grade, we won the Halloween Contest and were treated with a hay-ride—one we'll never forget! Our Junior year came, and Mrs. Isley helped us with a most successful Junior- Senior Banquet. Our operetta, “In An Old Kentucky Garden,” proved to be a fine presentation, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. All too soon our junior year ended, and we were dignificd Seniors faced with a new faculty. Mr. E. B. Clayton was our new principal with Mrs. Betty Daughtridge and Mr. Thomas A. Faust completing the administration. We were very unfortunate in losing our Physics teacher, Mr. Faust, the second semester. He was replaced however, by Mr. Edward Bost. We elected Mrs. Daughtridge our sponsor and began work immediately. We organ- ized a Dramatics Club and presented a Christmas Pageant entitled ‘Christmas in Re- view” that will long be remembered by all who saw it. Then came our minstrel, “Lazy Moon Minstrels.” Under Mrs. Daughtridge’s expert coaching, we had ’em rollin’ in the aisles. Our basketball teams made great progress, especially the girls. Though the boys fell by the wayside in the second round of the county tournament, the girls went to the finals and emerged as runners-up in the county with Helen Glass and Mary Jo Thomas being named on the All-County team. Our banquet was a most memorable occasion as was our senior play, “Rest Assured.” But most remembered of all will be our trip to Washington, D. C., and the mad scramble for funds that preceded it. “We went, we saw, we conquered,” someone said, and that was us in the year of our Lord 1951. Now we have finished—with class history that is—but as individuals the class of ’51 will make history and go down in history in the years to come. HELEN HICKS, Historian LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Staley, North Carolina Randolph County We, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-one, after twelve years of hard labor, realizing that we can’t take it with us, and being of reasonably sound mind, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. To our Sponsor: We bequeath to Mrs. Daughtridge our highest esteem and deepest appreciation for her tireless and unending efforts to help us through the year. To the Principal: To Mr. Clayton, who for the past year has served us with un- tiring efforts, we leave our good wishes that he may have many happy years. To the Coach: To Mr. Faust we leave some vitamin pills so that he may continue coaching after a year with the teams of ’50-’51. To the Classes of 52, 753, and ’54: The Class of 51 wants its good name upheld, and in order that you may carry on with the high standards we have set, the Class of ’51 leaves the following of its valuable possessions to the following lucky people: To Mary Campbell, Helen Hicks leaves her many boy friends. Bera Edwards wants to leave her basketball score book to anyone who can afford an Eskimo suit. Louise Williams wills her sportsmanship to Sue Vestal. Doris Pugh wills her popularity to Dixie Lee Barker. Helen Glass Jeaves her athletic ability to Lois Langley. Mary Jo Thomas wills all her excess energy to Betty Jo Allred. Clinton Pearce wants Ralph Clark to have his quiet ways. To Clifford Brower, Junior Poe leaves his ability to get along with the women. Clyde Hicks wants Clayton Vickrey to have his good taste in the choice of library books. From Earl Langley, Carlton Bridges will inherit the former’s ability to play baseball. To Magdlene Langley, Billy Martin wills his school bus No. ‘“‘S.” Hampton Scotton wills his friendly ways to Bobby Lackey. To Lewis Beard, Tommy Brinkley leaves his laziness. Alden Lee Hicks leaves the title of “Class Baby” to Leroy Sands. We, the Class of nineteen hundred and fifty-one, hereby publish and declare the aforesaid to be our last will and testament. We designate as our sole executor of this document, Mr. Poole. As our faithful janitor for the past two years, we rely on Mr. Poole to carry out our final requests. In testimony hereof, we submit our signature, this third day of January, nineteen hundred and fifty-one, at Staley High School, Staley, North Carolina.
