Class. Song. (Class Poom. (TunE: “Stardust’’) The time has come when we must say good-bye to you, Leaving here behind Our thoughts so true, lovely mem’ries too. As we go on along the way, we will think each day Of the times we’ve spent in high school. Yes, we have worked so hard and now that school is over We've come to get our just reward. We'll miss our Alma Mater and our friends, Knowing that someday we’ll meet again. When there comes a test, we all will strive to do our best. Tho’ tears fill each heart— Class of ’forty-six must part. So we’re saying with a sigh—‘‘Farewell to dear old Wadesboro High.” BARBARA COVINGTON FRANCES Davis Mary Lou STREATER TRUETTE BURRIS O.U Re CA eI eEINIGIE The time is nigh when we must bid A fond adieu to school days sweet. As the portals of life are opened unto us, Are we prepared new friends to meet? New thoughts, new tasks, new cause for wonder ; Can we seek them all without blunder? As we leave our past for a greater future, Have we reached the goal we've strived to attain, With honest toil, with uplifted head Our characters without a stain? Can we entwine our book-learned knowl- edge With lessons learned in nature’s college? If, in these tasks we have not stumbled, Nor fallen by the narrow way, Our bravest hopes, our brightest joys Can come to life, be what they may. And being all in word and deed In trust with God, we shall succeed! WALTER MITCHELL MOR EO n He who would rise above the clouds must scale the heights alone.

(Class. History MARGARET ANN WINGATE Class Historian Foe the Senior Class of 1946, the day is in sight about which they have dreamed for twelve long years—their day ot graduation. Very soon now they will walk out the doors of Wadesboro High, not in the capac- ity of students any longer, but as men and wo- men ready to face Life and what it has in store for them. Now that this long-desired, impatient- ly-awaited event approaches, nevertheless, they find a certain amount of sadness, as well as happiness, in the prospect of leaving High School forever. They stand now at the turn in the road; each must choose for himself what his life will be. The past twelve years in the lives of these Seniors have not been idly spent or wasted. True, it seemed at times that all effort was in vain, but much has really been accomplished. Now they are ready for something bigger, requiring more effort and more skill. The events of past years have fitted perfectly into the pattern for the later lives of the students who will graduate from Wadesboro High School this spring. The history of the Class of ’46 is not a very exciting one, yet, one can read between the writ- ten lines the heartaches and joys that have been parts of their school days. One day in early September, in the year 1934, this history began as a group of frightened youngsters took their seats in the classrooms of Mrs. Joe Liles, Miss Mary Plunkett, and Miss Ann Little Massamore. The next year finds them progressing nicely un- der the leadership of Mrs. Chase Baughn and Mrs. W. L. McKinnon, During their third year in school, they began an entirely new subject called “English” under the capable guidance of Miss Julia Cameron and Mrs. Eleanor Gray. The fourth school year of the Class of ’46 is memorable to them because at that time they met the long-dreaded “fractions.” These, how- ever, proved to be extremely simple when ex- plained by such grand teachers as Mrs. Louis Fogleman and Miss Eva Huntley. Now these boys and girls had progressed to the point where they might advance to classes in the high school building—one great milestone in their school career. These young people found it very exciting to be in such a big building with real “high school” people. It wasn’t very long, however, before the 46 Seniors felt themselves well acquainted with the new building, introduced to them by Miss Pauline Pinkston and Mrs. Heck Allen in the fifth grade. The group passed through their sixth year of schooling quickly with Mrs. W. W. (Continued on page forty-two) Page Ten
