CLASS OFFICERS Rl tfg, WILLIAM TROUTMAN MARY FRANK BROWN BILLIE CRESS SHERRILL President TED TEMPLETON Treamrer DAVID HINSON Hirlorian Vice President Secretary JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As strangers to our Upperclassmen, we, the Freshmen, entered into a new world of wider horizons, steeper paths, and nobler ends on the Troutman High School Campus in the fall of 1948. We, sixty--some strongC?J, under the guidance of Mrs. DeVaughn and Mr. Barker spent most of our year trying to adjust ourselves to our new surroundings. When our school started again, we were shocked to find that we were Sophomores. This year our guiding lights were Mr. Poston and Mr. Winecoff. Our subjects seemed much harder, with some of our members being slaughtered on the field of algebra, others died of English, while everyone seemed to enjoy biology. High lighting the year, was the explosion, due to the mixing of cooking gas and tenth graders in Home Ec. When asked what happened, this was the answer, I merely struck a match, stepped back, and it went BAM! Time marches on. Now we are Juniors-a year older and a year wiser four teachers sometimes wonder.J We are very proud to be resuming another phase of the process of education. With the help and patience of our homeroom teachers, Mrs. Moore and Mt. Poston, we gave our Junior play, A DATE FOR DANNY, with fourteen members of our class in the cast. It was a decided success from every angle, and we were delighted with the many compliments on our production. This was one of our many ways to raise money for the Iunior-Senior Banquet which was a big event in April. Also our class is well represented in school activities. Many of our members may be seen participating in the Beta Club, F. H. A., F. F. A., Boosters Club and Dramatics Club. We received quite an honor when Mary Alice Alley was elected Miss Merry Christmas to represent our school in the Christmas Festival. Now as Juniors, we view our Senior Year with high hopes and ambitions. So classmates, keep your fingers crossed. Let's hope next year that we shall all be together as Seniors, DAVID HINSON Historian COLORS MOTTO FLOWER Navy Blue and White Keep Smiling. Red Rose
