Senior Class History In September 1946 we, the seniors of 1958, began our long, hard, haul to the twelfth grade. This was a memorable day in our lives though there were many heart¬ breaks and tears. In the first grade Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Page taught us our A-B-C ' s and also taught us not to be naughty. In the second grade we had fewer recesses, much to our sorrow, and Miss Husketh and Mrs. Smith taught us much more about reading, ' riting, and ’rithmetic.” The third grade was an excellent year for some of us because Miss Yelverton gave us candy and bubble gum for making a hundred in Spelling. We also got a half holiday for doing this. Miss Rogers taught her class the meaning of the word silence. Miss Tyson and Miss Lewis had to contend with us in the fourth grade. Miss Tyson made our year more pleasant by telling us stories about Bill and Sambo. ” Miss Lewis taught some of the girls in her class how to get in out of a hard shower by drying them with a paddle. Our fifth grade teachers, Miss Chappell and Mrs. Gregory, began to match our wits and skills with North Carolina History and a few other subjects. From the look of some of the grades somebody ' s wits and skills didn ' t match so well with North Carolina History. Mrs. Chamblee and Miss Norris taught us about fine arts. Miss Norris was our first single teacher to be worried so much by us that she became desperate and got married. During the year, we took a trip to Durham where we were in a singing contest. This was our sixth year in school. During our seventh year, we learned the art of dodging from Mr. Richart, and Mrs. Bunn learned not to stand in a thin bottom chair with high heels on. It might cause a fall. Our teachers took us to Raleigh where we went through the Museum and the Edu¬ cational Building. We were also on radio and we talked to Carl Goerch from the WPTF Radio Station. Herman Oakley got a quarter from him for naming the first five presi¬ dents of the U.S. In the eighth grade we had a tremendous contrast. Mr. Weir six feet six inches tall as compared with Mrs. Blackley who was not quite five feet tall. Mrs. Blackley tried to teach us some English, but she wasn ' t very successful. Mr. Weir took us to the Planetar¬ ium in Chapel Hill where we made a study of the Stars. Mr. Weir also gave some of us the opportunity to leam how to shovel coal. Mickey, W. G., ana I will vouch for this fact. At last we reached high school. We stayed lost for the first few days, and some of us never went to the same class twice during this time. Mr. Holt and Mr. Ingraham guided us through this year. Mr. Ingraham called us goonie birds, but we never found out if this were good or bad. When we became Sophomores, we already knew our way around and no longer had to stumble around blindly looking for our classes. Miss Walker and Mr. Castille received the HONOR of having US that year. We were proud to be Waiters and Waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Miss Walker liked us so much that she kept us for another year, our Junior year. Miss Gay was also one of our homeroom teachers. This is a year we will never forget. We have many happy memories from this year. We sold magazines and beat the previous Junior class in the sales made. I imagine the happiest day was when we received our class rings; although, some of us didn’t keep them very long. Then came the Junior Play and what a glorious time we had putting it on. W. G. dressed as a girl and Mickey dressed as a Swami were the highlights of the show. Mary Jo thought that Mickey was her husband, but all the time he was Patricia ' s secret lover. Patricia just loved to cor¬ rect herself when she got out in the play by saying, Oh, that ' s not right. Then came time for us to put on the Junior-Senior Banquet. We fixed up the lunch room to look like a Fairyland. The theme of our Banquet was Fairyland Romance. This was such a glorious occasion for us. At Class Night we held golden leaves for the seniors to walk under. We wished our friends in the Senior Class a fond farewell.
