(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.

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.
