WADESBORO HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1944 CLASS POEM It is only a milestone that we now reach, In our pursuit of knowledge and success A milestone which marks the honors we've gained Through our effort in W. H. S. It has been a long and happy pace, And now that the end is near, We hate to leave, but we know that we must, For our struggle just begins with this year. We have proven that we have the ability, And if we work, things will wind our way, Our goal will be reached if we take sincere effort, In the tasks undertaken each day. T. D. BURNS CLASS SONG Tune: The Story of a Starry Night This ends the story of our Senior Class, The faded glory of the years gone past. We've been together and we will never Forget the memories of our school » days. And now as Seniors we must say “Good-bye”’. Through all the long years that ahead do lie We'll pray that someday, life will in some way Bring back together class of ’44. We'll pray that someday life will in some way Bring back together class of ’44. FRANCES ASHCRAFT, DABNEY LITTLE, ELIZABETH LOCKHART MOTTO A strong arm, a clear head, and a brave heart mark our way on the road to success. COLORS Green and White FLOWER Gardenia Page Eight

Mrs. Baughan and || Miss Webb carried them safely over the ae second mile. Mrs. Gray, Miss Crowder, U 5 and Miss Cameron pointed out the “signs” on the third mile. The fourth mile was traveled under the leadersh‘p os of Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Fogleman. The completion of the fourth mile meant a transfer from the grammar building to the high-school building. Miss Pinkston and Mrs. Allen saw that the journey was resumed and the im- portant “signs” indicated. Mr. Lewis became their chief guide on th’s mile. Every year the road seemed to broaden and the journey became rougher, but this didn’t stop the group, and the sixth mile was made smoother by the careful guidance of Miss Boggan and Mrs. Bennett. The seventh mile brought something new and different. The members of the group were given the privilege of changing classes which gave them that “grown up” feeling. Mrs. Gulledge, Miss Cunningham, Miss Stansell, and Miss Thompson were their guides over this mile. The “signs” along the eighth mile indicated that another change would be made. The school band was started during this year and many members of the group joined it and made much progress under the leadership of the band direc- tor, Mr. Cartier. They also received the'r “passports” to the Big Hi-way, high school, on the day of their gradu- ation from junior high. Other guides on this eighth mile were Mr. Howell, Miss Johnson, Miss Stough, Miss Stan- (Continued on page 11) = Page Ten
