Though we leave the High School Train bound for Wisdom we realize that our destination has not been reached. We shall always continue on the Wisdom Train and strive for our ultimate goal, Knowledge. Along the way we can recall quite a few exciting moments like the day Rena, Jean, and Gloria had to put their noses in a circle drawn on the back steps of the high school building: in the fifth grade when we were forbidden to play a game we called King and Queen since we al- ways ended up witha quarrel over whowould be guard of honor or body guard to the queen, lean Robertson: the night Patsy, Artelia. and Rena spent with Betty Jean. They were going to get up an economics report, but we hear they were drinking Pepsi-Colas at 2:30 a. m. Anyway they came to school the next morningsleepily singing, 'Pepsi-Cola Hits the Spot gthe day that Sis got her school bus driver's license. No one seemed to believe her: the day that Miss Thackston said the fog in Londonwas so thick that youcould cut itwith a knife and Charles Finch believed her: all those solemn looks Bobby Gill had during his Senior yearg the day Joyce Young spilled orange juice on Mrs. Knott's head in the lunch room: all those times Bettie Lou was afraid to sit on the ground. She was afraid that she would get her dress dirty. The day that we heard that a former member of our class, Fay Privette fMrs. Ed Ehriey, had a seven pound baby girlg how popular Ned was the day he got his new car. All the girls begged for a chance to ride with him. All of it was very exciting - these have been just a few of the high lights. Now that our high school joumey is over, and we are forced to go on alone, we wish to thank our parents, and teachers, and everyone who has. helped us along our way. The high school journey is over, but each of us will go on and strive to reach nearer and nearer to our destination, Wisdom. RENA MOODY Class Historian CLASS FLOW!!!
