SENIOR CLASS MASCOTS Mike Eddinger and Janie McLain smilingly look forward to the day when they will be seniors. AS EIGHTH GRADERS the present Senior Class officers step aboard the train for the first time. Seniors Travel a Lor SENIORS-the first class passengers on this train leading to man's destiny-are nearing the end of their journey. The train has carried them far: yet, with humility, they realize that the real journey has just begun. Only five years ago the class of 1957 boarded the train as eighth graders, gazing in wonder at the new World that lay before them. Due to reorganization in the school system, that class was the first eighth grade to ever be considered part of the high school. Officers that year were Jim Bodie, president, Marvin Eargle, vice presidentg Cyrette Hol- liday, secretary, and David Howard, treas- urer. Another classmate, Eleanor Gray, was elected THS's first Miss Football. As Freshmen, members of the class of 1957 felt that they had come a long way. Jim Bodie was class president that year, Jack Tysinger, vice presidentg Runell Hinkle, secretary, and Ralph Eanes, treasurer.

AT THE END of their journey Senior Class Sec- retary Marie Phillips, President Gene Whitten, Vice President Jerry McCulloch, and Treasurer Runell Hinkle leave the train much better and much wiser people. Vay in Their Five Years SEEKING INFORMATION on college entrance requirements, Runell Hinkle confers with Miss Lois Johnson, former THS principal and present Dean of Women at Wake Forest College. Miss Johnson addressed the student body in the fall. .9 f ? 1 V sq., 4 M., at THS Biology, Silas Marner, and Julius Caesar remind the graduating class of its hectic sophomore year. With popular Jim Bodie again class president, other officers were Ralph Eanes, vice presidentg Runell Hinkle, secretaryg and Roy Stamey, treasurer. Upon becoming juniors the J unior-Senior Prom, magazine drive, class rings, term pa- pers, and electing became everyday words. That year also saw members of the class elected to high school-wide offices, inducted into the National Honor Society and Quill and Scroll, and lauded for excellence in ath- letics. Junior officers were Roy Stamey, pres- identg Ralph Eanes, vice presidentg Patsy Thomason, secretaryg and Marie Phillips, treasurer. With only that solemn walk in cap and gown remaining now, the life of each senior is his to choose. He may continue his journey toward self-betterment and greater service to others or he may disembark and never move again. Yet, with the great amount of knowledge and vast understanding of life that each senior has gained at Thomasville High School, it is only right to believe that he will remain aboard the train to the end of the line.
