including steel lockers, new tile restrooms, and even two laboratories to meet our scientific desires and questions. Some people say seniors become conceited intheir desire to be dig- nified. It is even said that seniors grow out of the high school spirit before they should, in their attempts to become men and women of to- morrow. Asking ourselves these two searching questions, we wonder if we failed to remain the happy but ambitious class as when we began but four short years ago. ' Our sponsors guided us toward the ray of success and happiness with devoted hearts and tender leadership. Mrs. Charlotte Sills, Mrs. Sarah Parker, and Mrs. E. C. Piland were the three whom we so grate- fully credit with this task. In November, we gave a three-act play, which was similar to the actual scene of many of our lives. It illustrated the high school student in love. Her teachers and parents were always reminding her that stu- dies come first. Then there was the donkey basketball again, and this time we did the sponsoring. The. vicious little animals still offered no relief for the ten- der hides of the players, but those who participated enjoyed the game thoroughly. The senior trip to Washington and New York will require no expla nation as to the fun and enjoyment we bestowed upon ourselves. How could we have failed to have fun? Surely, our trip was the educational, inspirational, and enjoyable time we so diligently planned it to be. The Junior -Senior Prom came again, but this time we were the guests, and we enjoyed the many hours ofpeaceful fellowship beneath the elabo- rate trimmings by the Junior class. The Beta Club again ventured to the mountains to attend the annual State Convention in Asheville and to re-live our happy past. Sponsor R. T. Cherry carried the burden as over thirty young masterminds enjoyed every moment of the convention. Graduation fell upon us as a curtain around a long, scenic drama. lt meant a new life for us, but it also meant leaving behind the many glo- rious moments we shared together---in the library, in the labs, in the gymnasium, and in our many extra-curricular activities which we will cherish always. Class night---Baccalaureate Sermon---and then the diploma. As we descended the three tiny stairs of the familiar auditorium stage, a rush of joy and happiness mingled with the sadness and gloom we were ex- periencing as we left our alma-mater. The exit of high school brings us to the threshold of our future--- the entrance to a new life and the farewell to many years of hard work and guided preparations. The paths of the future are open to those who are willing to enter ..... HISTORIANS Marion Bullard Herky Ledbetter
