ANNE Bryan BowMaAN Historian In a meeting of the senior class in November, 1950, we seniors selected our class flower, colors, song, and motto. The lavender sweetpea is our flower; lavender and white are our colors; our song, written to the tune of Harbor Lights, has the following words: We will remember Our dear old high school days forever. The class of fifty-one, Its work has just begun. Our motto, we'll apply, To climb the ladder as we build it high, And our ideals will lead Our world from all its greed. This class will ever be a beacon shining bright, And will uphold in all its dealings, God’s great light. Now as we leave our friends, And all the fun we've had in high school ends, Time out to say goodbye To dear old Wadesboro High. Our motto is: “We build the ladder by which we climb.” By now our ladder has grown rather tall. Let us think back—We planted the two uprights before we began school. We put in the first rung under the guidance of our first head carpenters, Mrs. Joe M. Liles, Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, and Miss Ann Little Masemore. The second rung was hammered in under the capable direction of Mrs. Emily McKinnon and Miss Elizabeth Webb. Our ladder grew two rungs taller under the able leadership of Miss Julia Cameron, Mrs. Lee Ash- craft, Miss Bertie Patterson, Miss Fannie Dunlap, and Miss Alice Lampley. But before the com- pletion of the fourth rung, two of our young fellow Page Whisic el, the Whrstrots (When knighthood was in flower, roving min- strels entertained the people by relating in song teresting events which had happened from time to time. Interesting events which happened to the class of 1951 are inscribed here.) builders, Joe Coleman and Jerry Brower, slipped and fell from our ladder of life. Miss Pauline Pinkston, Mrs. H. E. Allen, Mrs. W. W. Bennett, Miss Nora Boggan, Mrs. W. J. Gulledge, and Miss Fannie Winfree patiently aided us in constructing the next three rungs. But, by now, we were doing more of the building by ourselves, and the going was a little tougher. Again, we were greatly saddened when Joe Pegram, an- other fellow-builder, fatefully slipped and fell from our ladder of achievement. And then, with difficulty, we hammered home the rung which we then thought was the strongest and best. Miss Mary Mitchell and Miss Nancy Gregory helped us drive in this important round. At this stage of construction, six new young carpen- ters—Lorene Williams, Barbara Turner, Mary Sue Harper, H. C. Hasty, Dwight Burr, and William Hanna—brought their hammers and nails and joined our wrecking crew. Meanwhile, Jimmy Brower, Billy Caulder, Lloyd Evans, Jason Honey- cutt, William Hanna, and Bill Ray descended our ladder and affiliated themselves with other working crews. But since then Bill Ray has faithfully re- turned to the old crew and is hammering harder than ever. As we stepped up on our new eighth rung and looked down, we were proud of our job. Joe Bur- roughs had turned out to be our best carpenter in driving in the nails of scholarship. Anne Bryan Bowman and Nancy McQuague rated second and third. And then we looked up into the empty space ahead and, seeing how much farther we had to climb, we promptly returned to our construction job with renewed determination to realize the goal of our ambition. The work was much harder now; the atmosphere was thinner as we climbed higher, but we were more skilled and could take more time off from our labor for extras. The more industrious members of our crew had part-time jobs on The Student Prints and Hi-Ways stafts, played on ball teams and belonged to various clubs. We finished the ninth and tenth rungs under Mrs. Gertrude Wall, Miss Edna Gieseking, Mr. Douglas Hall, Mrs. Roy Gaddy, Miss Mary Alice Turner, Coach Ray Shelton, Miss Hermine Caraway, Miss Anne Carter, (Continued on Page 87)
