CLASS HISTORY Twelve years! That seems like a long time to spend getting ready to face that great, big world! But just look what we did, as well as what we learned! Let’s, for just a few minutes, turn back the hands of time, and relieve some of those old memories. Let’s begin with the day we first stepped over the threshold of the grammar school, which was to be our home for four years. My, those feet were uncertain and hesitant! However, holding tightly to mother’s hand, we stepped into a world of books and companions. We were immediately “adopted” by Mrs. Joe Liles, Mrs. Shelley Cashion, Miss Anne Little Masemore, and Miss Mary Plunkett. It was these teachers that so patiently taught us to say the ABC’s and to read about Dick, Jane, and Spot. Miss Elizabeth Webb and Mrs. Chase Baughn welcomed us at the beginning of our second year. Through them, we were intro- duc to subtraction. The third year soon came upon us, with Mrs. J. H. Bost, Mrs. Elinor Gray, and Miss Julia Cameron as our leaders. It was in this year that we began to get acquainted with geography, or as we call it today, “social science.” Miss Fanny Dunlap, Miss Alice Lampley, and Miss Leona Edwards took us under their wings in the fourth year of our educational journey. Up jumped our big year! Gee, we felt important as we transferred over to the big school and into the care of Miss Pauline Pinkston and Mrs. Heck Allen. Can’t you remember how we worked at multiplying, dividing, and learning the 48 states? Miss Evelyn Haney and Miss Fannie Winfree met us at the sixth year of our journey. Didn't those geography tests give us a fit? The seventh grade came, with Mrs. George Huntley and Mrs. W. J. Gulledge as our teach- ers. This was the year we learned all about citizenship, through those Friday programs. That year several of our classmates served as marshals for the eighth grade commencement. Mrs. Roy Gaddy and Miss Elizabeth Barker “claimed” us for our final year before entering high school. I guess welll never forget our trip to Raleigh. That was one of the highlights of our eighth grade year. My, wasn’t it fun to ride on that bus! Mrs. Gaddy got quite mad at us for reading comic books instead of looking at the scenery! Commencement came, and never again would we be grammar grade students. We were growing up. High school was our next step. High school, freshman year! My, didn’t we feel big changing classes! All this importance was soon knocked down because the upper classmen wouldn't let us forget our title of “lowly freshman”! Several of classmates were asked to work on the Student Prints and the Hi-Ways. We were very proud of this! The first high school year is usually the hardest, but we have Mrs. Tom Wall, Miss Frances Delmar, and Messrs. David Kephart, Bernard York, Harold Grant, Robert Hickman, J. C. Baucom, William Todd and J. Ray Shelton to thank for their help and guidance. It was they who “took up for their lowly freshmen”! Soon we were sophomores. Under the direction of Miss Hermine Caraway, Mrs. Tom Wall, and Messrs. Robert Hickman, Henry Albaugh, Harold Grant, Charlie Wyant, and David Kephart we progressed toward our junior year. But wait! We just can’t skip over the Junior -Senior Banquet. Ill bet we were the cutest waitresses the juniors and seniors ever had. Those oriental costumes were just perfect. But let’s go on to our junior year. We were met by Mesdames Harold Johnson, Wade Childs, Charles Bird, Roy Gaddy, Miss Caraway, and Messrs. Harold Grant, Tony Sellari, David Kephart, and J. O. Bowman, Jr. It was during this year that we welcomed several Deep Creek students to our class: Eleanor McLaurin, Jane Lowery, Vester Jordan, Charles Bowman, W. J. Baker, and William Ratliff. The Christmas Carrousel Princess, Peggy Teal, came from our junior class. To raise money for our Junior-Senior, our class sold over $1000 worth of magazines. For our banquet theme, we chose a Southern Plantation. Our junior year was just packed with conventions. The SIPA convention at Lexington, Virginia, was attended by some of our group. These came home quite happy, for they had been to a party given by none other than James Street. In the late spring, Ila Mae Tyson and Nancy Howell were chosen to attend Girls’ State. Our last, and most important year arrived with a bang! Now we could be the dignified ones with all those so-called “senior privileges.” But to our surprise, we found, as others have said, that seniors really don’t have many privileges! At least if they did, we never found them! 21 (Continued on page 78 ) ANNE Tice, Historian
