l l 611155 History One hundred seven eager and ambitious new high school students en- tered into a wholly new and different system of education on September 3, 1954. Our emotions were mixed with anxiety and wonder which we found to be short -lived, thanks to the guidance and help of our freshmen teachers and administration. It wasn't an unusual sight to see a lost classmate taking a quick glance at his schedule sheet. However, as we grew more accustomed to our new environment, we put away our schedule sheets and settled down to four years of hard labor. Within a month, we had elected our leaders for the coming year. They were: president, Gerald West, vice-president,Norman Kirby, secretary, Annette Owen, treasurer, Douglas Maxwell. That year, we enjoyed a trek to White Lake aboard old faithful, The Grey -Hound . Our sophomore year opened with a little more realization of where we were and what we were doing. We elected for our officers for that year, Gerald West as president, Doug Maxwell as vice-president, Nancy Fisher as secretary, Barbara Thompson as treasurer. Many of our number were inducted into the school's honorary society, The National Beta Club. That year, twenty of our number took to the hills for the annual Beta Club Convention in Asheville. The Algebra II crew visited U.N.C. to familiarize ourselves with the campus in anticipation of future college plans. That year we also jour- neyed to Raleigh to the Ice Capades for another memorable trip. Then, we were Juniors! First we elected officers. We chose Linwood Royal as president, Marion Bullard, vice-president, June Bennett, se- cretary, and Annette Owen as treasurer. With these leaders, we planned for events ahead... White Lake trip, supper, basketball game, and at the end of the year lay the Junior -Senior Prom. In the fall of that year, the seniors sponsored a donkey basketball game, and their opponents were the honorable Juniors. Many of our male troup know what a cowboy feels like after a 1ong day in the saddle after a game like that! But then, too, we had no saddle. Then there was the supper to raise money for the Junior-Senior. It proved more successful than we had anticipated, and the Bar-B-Que was delicious. The Junior -Senior rolled around, and we began a week's hard work of preparing for the 'hallowed' event. But the night arrived, and our beautiful decorations, our elegant planning and our delicate ornaments meant nothing: the band failed to come! Then to White Lake, our hearts pounding with laughter and amuse- ments as we spend our final hours of school on the white sands of the popular resort, in the fellowship of our many class menbers and friends.. So here we are...a few less than when we began...but full of new ex- periences and even somewhat wiser! Our final year at Stedman began with meeting new improvements,
