WELL TRAVELED ROADS In September, 1941, we, as group of self-consc- ious six-year-olds, destined to be the class of 1953, began their journey down the long and sometimes rocky highway of education. The first mile of our journey was very capably directed by Miss Mary Plunkett, Mrs. Joe Liles, and Miss Anne Little Masemore. Under their guidance we were introduced to the ‘‘three R’s’’, reading, “‘riting,” and “‘rithmetic,” and we were well off to a good start by the time we reached the second milestone. Here we were met by three new guides, Mrs. Chase Baughan, Mrs. Lee Ashcraft, and Miss Elizabeth Webb, who very patiently and pains- takingly guided us over Subtraction Hill. In high spirits and no worse for the wear of having journeyed for two long years, we took off down the road for the third and fourth miles of the way led by Misses Leona Edwards, Julia Cameron and Alice Lampley, and Mesdaces Eleanor Gray and Evelyn Wright. We laboriously crossed over Multiplication Rocks and my, were we shocked when we came upon demon geography! However we were repaid for the struggle by the sight of a new building, which was to be our abode for the rest of this trip. We were greeted at the door by Mrs. H. EF. Allen and Miss Pauline Pinkston, our new guides, who introduced us to Mr. Dictionary and tried in vain to acquaint us with the intricacies of frac- tions. That proved to be a very trying experience for both travelers and guides, but we finally rounded the sixth mile. Here we met Misses Evelyn Haney and Fannie Winfree, and Mesdames W. J. Gullege and Ray Jolly, our directors for the sixth and seventh miles. We thoroughly enjoyed presenting assembly pro- grams, and making notebooks was a “cinch” com- pared with working decimals and percentage. After seven miles of travel there developed among us seven learned travelers—Martha Hunt, Virginia Tyson, Claudia Covington, Dot McLaurin, Mary Plyde Marsh, Loretta Helms, and Beatrice Caulder. Upon these was bestowed the signal honor of serv- ing as marshals for junior high commencement. All too quickly we rounded the eighth mile of our journey. Our trip to Raleigh completely out- shone all the events of that year or any previous year. With our guides, Misses Elizabeth Barker and Essie Mae Outlaw, and Mrs. Roy Gaddy, we tour- ed the city from the state capitol to the state prison. In June we graduated from the eighth gradc. With Martha Hunt and Virginia Tyson, our wisest travelers, speaking for us, we bade farewell to grammar school and arrived at a new station called high school. a; GENET LITTLE Historian So the largest class to enter Wadesboro High School began their ninth mile of ‘travel. We wel- comed the advice of our guides, Misses Frances DeLamar, Evelyn Bullard, and Hope Bailey, Mesdamies Gertrude Wall and Roy Gaddy, and Messrs. J. C. Baucom, John Rawls, Ray Shelton, and Robert Hickman. Some of our classmates served as members of the Student Prints and Hi- Ways staffs and as members of the various clubs and athletic teams. For the first time in the history of the school, a freshman, Kathryn Britt, reigned as queen at the homecoming’ game. We enthusiastically set out on the tenth mile. Mesdames Sara Farmer, Gertrude Wall and Roy Gaddy, Misses Frances DeLamar, Hope Bailey, and Hermine Caraway, and Messrs. Harold Grant, Robert Hickman, David Kephart, and Messrs. Harold Grant, Robert Hickman, David Kephart, and William Todd were our directors. This year was a year of improvement. All the class rooms were painted, the lab and the cafeteria were remodeled, and four new classrooms, which were first used as homerooms by our class, were added. Band and industrial arts, which had been dropped from the curriculum several years previ- ously, were reinstated. We started the eleventh mile with a bang! Under the direction of Misses Hermine Caraway, Hope Bailey, and Frances DeLamar, Mrs. Mildred Johnson, and Messrs. Charles Wyant, Henry Albaugh, Robert Hickman, Harold Grant, and David Kephart, we advanced quickly. The high- light of the year was the junior-senior banquet, and dance. We excelled all previous: classes in magazine sales and were able to finance the junior- senior without presenting a class play. Several of our co-travelers ranked superior in various fields. Claudia Covington, Jessie Ruth Honeycutt, and Bill Blue proved to be our most literary travelers, and thus won the honor of serv- ing as marshals for the graduation of the class of (Continued on page 28)
