Billy Hastie left us the latter part of the sixth grade, but found there was none like us anywhere else and came back. We also gained Lucy Jones in the seventh grade and lost Susan Beazley and Wanda Colyer. In the eighth grade Jack Hester and Susan Beazley came back to graduate with us, and Gloria Robinson returned for our Freshman year. In our sophomre year we were joined by Marlene Patterson from Kings Mountain. Betty Tillett and Peggy Jo Brown came to be with us the last two years of our journey, and Margie Farmer and Wanda Colyer rejoined us for the last and most important year of our high school career.
