CLASS HISTORY In the summer of 1944 forty-five well-acquainted Freshmen picked up their textbooks and started the familiar Union High routine-giggling, flirting, cramming, laughing, talking, and some few studying. That year we were honored to have several members on the basketball team and eight girls as waitresses for the banquet. Our officers for that year were: President, Ruth Leatherman, Vice-President, Earnest Thomas, Secretary, Jean Carpenter, Treasurer, Roy Hoyle. With Mr. Hoyle as our home-room teacher we started off our Sophomore year by abusing the Freshmen and acting like Juniors. Since there were no Seniors that year everyone felt his importance. We even gave a class play entitled Good Gracious, Grandma. Along with the play eight members of the clas were initiated into the National Beta' Club. Class officers were: President, Ted McGinnis, Vice-President, William Rob- inson, Secretary, Daphine Conner. Thirty boys and girls then called themselves Juniors. This year was an event- ful one as the post-war epic had begun. Seven were on the basketball team, four attended 4-H Club Week at Raleigh. Three were bus drivers and two represented the school in a speaking contest at Lenoir Rhyne. The seven Beta Club members held staff positions on 4'The Trail Blazer, and Anita Bolinger won second place in a State FCX Speaking Contest. We were well represented in the Commence- ment Exercises this year since six were- in Class Night and five were Marshals. We also had 13 of our members in the choir. But the highlight of our Junior year was the banquet we gave April 25 in honor of the Seniors, the theme of our banquet, held at the Daniels Community House, was A Southern Plantation Party. Colors used were green and yellow. Guest speakers were Rev. Iverson Brendle, Sr., and Mr. Graham Morrison. Class officers elected were: President, Thomas Sain, Vice-President, Roy Hoyle, Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth Leatherman, Reporter, Earnest Thomas. On July 21, 1947, we stepped into Mrs. Rhyne's room for our last year at Union. Our rings came the second week of school and our calling cards before school closed for summer. The Acorn staff was elected, and officers as follows: President, Williain Robinson, Vice-President, Roy Hoyle, Secretary, Daphine Con- ner, Treasurer, Thomas Sain. When the fall term started we threw ourselves whole-heartedly into the task of finishing up right. Most of the effort being directed toward our annual. Our Mascots, chosen from the first grade, are Alice Mosteller and Max Beam. And now we number, twenty-five, fifteen girls and ten boys. Smaller in number than the forty-five in the ninth grade, but closer in spirit. Seniors, after twelve long years we have reached our goal. But wait, is this our goal? No, I think not, our goal is Eternity and this is our first step up the ladder. Oh, God, that our next might be as firm and well-directed as this one. H istorian, RUTH LEATHERMAN
