H1sToRYioP SENIOR CLASS Enthusiastically, the class that was to go down in history as the class of 1951 entered high school. We were excited about meeting new friends and the wonderful act of changing classes. Soon we settled down and became an inseparable part of the Thomasville High School family. Our class brought together more redheads to T. H. S. than has ever been recorded in the history of the school. Miss Neece was fortunate to teach everyone of them during her seventh period English class. This class she indulgently called her Redheaded Class. , During our freshman year rewards were given to various individuals. Mildred Wilson received five dollars for her theme on Hou' and Why Wfe Should Srzfegzzard Again!! Beverage Alcohol. In the sports world, a midget basketball tourna- ment was sponsored for the first time in Thomas- ville High School. Those 'who helped Thomasville win second place were: Doug Callicutt, Richard McLendon, Bob Myers, Tommy Beard, Bobby johnson, Bill Connell, Dewey Wlelborn and Doug Childress. The boys did very well in baseball, also. Their team went undefeated. Boys on this team were: Bobby Johnson, Bill Connell, Tommy Beard, Bobby Myers and Richard McLendon. The chief executive of our class that year was Bobby johnson. Becoming wise Sophomores at last, we felt very important. A high spot in the activities this year was the Sophomore party. Bobby Myers, Tommy Beard, Doug Childress helped to put Thomasville High School's midget team into the spotlight again by winning first place in the tournament. They also won the sportsmanship trophy. Donald Moore received the honor of making the varsity football team. Daney Melton did likewise by mak- ing the girls' varsity basketball team. ' Paul Berrier was chosen as our president this year. We entered into our Junior year happily and excitedly. This was a very busy year. Our class officers for this year were Donald Moore, presidentg Guy Melton, vice-presidentg Mildred Wilson, sec- retary, Bertha Poole, treasurer. A few of the high spots of our activities were the junior-Senior Prom. The theme used for the prom was Starlight Room. This helped make the evening a success. In the field of music, we were very proud of Allen Wlalter May, Al Boyles, Jr., and jimmy Yokely for receiving an excellent rating at a district contest in Salisbury. In basketball we were proud of Daney Melton and Bobby Johnson for making the Girls' and Boys' varsity basketball team, respectively. Anne Murphy and Daney Milton were our dele- gates to Girls, State during the summer before our senior year. Tex Sluder and james Garrison were delegates to Boys' State. Tex Sluder was elected Secretary of State by the boys attending the con- vention. We entered our last year with a feeling of hap- piness and of anxiety for the future events mingled with a feeling of sadness and regretfulness. Donald Moore was elected our chief executive. 'Other of- ficers were Doyt johnson, vice-president, Patsy Shuford, secretary, and Josie Grimes, treasurer. Our football team made history this year by defeating Children's Home. This was the first time this had ever been done. Sports, studies, elections, senior play, kids' day, junior-Senior Prom and finally commencement filled most of our time for the year.
