Senior Class History On September 3, 1953, we, the Class of 1965, made our first appearance at Wakelon School. Although we we: very small and inexperienced, we felt quite big and proud of ourselves since we had finally started to school. We shall always be grateful to our first grade teachers, Mrs. Page, Mrs, Wall, and Mrs. Finch. We re alize wh; a time they must have had in trying to teach so many small boys and girls how to read and write, and how to do oi best in school. Although all twelve of our school years have meant a great deal to us, we are going to mention only a few of oi highlights. j In the third grade, we were bereaved when we lost one of our classmates, Richard Gay. In the seventh grade, our two classes took trips to Raleigh and Wilson. We had our first experience with TV classes when we had TV math in the eighth grade. We also had Orientatic- Day in May of this year. Then the year finally came when we became Freshmen! We entered high as a class of 70 members. Our homej room teachers were Mrs. Ann Strickland and Mrs. Louise Yert. i Before we knew it, our Freshmen year was over and we were Sophomores. Our class officers were Thurston Debi nam, president; Randy Creech, vice-president; Janet Griswold, treasurer; Lynda Gail Fathera, secretary; and Pats| Hales, reporter. Mrs. Carol Stanley and Miss Mary Lacy Palmer were our homeroom teachers. During this year some of us were very happy to be selected for the Beta Club and the National Honor Society. Five boys and five girll were also selected as waiters and waitresses at the Junior-Senior Prom. When we became Juniors in the fall of ' 63, we realized what a responsibility we had on our shoulders. Mrs Mar ' Seaqo and Mr. Roscoe Spellmen were our homeroom teachers. Our officers were Avon Pnvette, president; Rodne. McNabb, vice-president; Guy Massey, treasurer; Linda Green, secretary; and Tim Gay, reporter. We selected ou, class motto which is To the stars, through difficulties ; our colors, baby blue, navy blue, and white; and ourflowe ' the blue carnation. Our first big project was that of selling magazines. Ralph Ihrie and Sue Blackley were the to] salesmen. We had our first experience with acting when we presented our class play, So This is Bliss. Then cam the Junior-Senior Prom. Boy,did we work! The theme of the prom was The Starlight Club. It was held on May firs at the National Guard Armory. Also in May, our long-awaited class rings came. We really wore those rings witlj pride ! Our Junior year ended with our participation in Class Night, i Our final year began on September 8, 1964 with a class of 55. Our homeroom teachers were Mrs. Doris Privett. and Mrs Bessie Smith. Our officers were Thurston Debnam, president; Randy Creech, vice-president; Hulon Perry treasurer; Connie Perry, secretary; and Lynda Gail Fathera, reporter. We selected Linda Jean Ferrell and Andy Bran nan asour mascots. During the football season, we ran the concession stand. Our Senior play, Teenage Millionaire turned out to be a huge success after much hard work. Graduation was upon us before we knew it. This history will end when we receive our diplomas. Each individua will write his own future history through his deeds. LINDA GREEN TIM GAY Class Historians Witnesses: RANDY CREECH AVON PRIVETTE, JR.
