Class History We, the class of 1947 of Walstonburg High School, have climbed a ladder built by dreams-step by step. As the time of graduation draws near we recall those dreams, remembering the desire for their fulfillment and the joy of realization. Ding-Dong! The old familiar bell tolled away the years until at last we could say. We're in high school! With Miss Irma Page and Miss Bertha Lang as our teachers, we spent a fun-packed freshman year. Days passed quickly, and before we realized it- vacation time! October 1944 . . . School again, and We were Sophomores. We felt especially important when we learned that We would give the Seniors a banquet-even though the reason was that there was no Junior class. Led by our officers, Ola Grace Gardner, Elsie Shirley, and Raymond Cobb and our advisor, Miss Ott, we made the banquet the big event of the year. When we finally returned to our work we could hardly realize we would soon be Juniors. Getting used to being Juniors was not the only change of our third year in high school. We missed Mr. B. L. Davis, our former principal, but we soon learned to like his successor, Mr. Roger Peeler. Above all, we felt that we were fortunate indeed in having Mrs. Peeler as our home room teacher. With the six twelfth-graders who shared our room, we chose as officers for the year H. T. Herring, Lib Holloman, and Raymond Cobb. Participation in the tobacco contest helped develop a class spirit which was destined to give us a place of leadership among the classes. It was with great pride that we saw our own king and queen, Dabney Goin and Lib Holloman, crowned at the festival. That class spirit reached new heights when on February first we experienced the big thrill of being Juniors-our class rings arrived! Getting the rings, seeing the girls' basket- ball team win the county championship and sportsmanship awards, and helping with commencement took on equal importance with our studies. Settling down to work with memories of the past, We saw the days slip quickly by, and We dreamed a perfect dream -we were Seniors! Realizing the necessity of good organization, our first step as Seniors was the choice of our officers. We elected Ola Grace Gardner, Margarett Fields, and Martha Baker as leaders. Miss Rives was our class sponsor. For our motto we selected A quitter never wins, a winner never quits? Determined to carry out this idea, we won again in the tobacco contest, making our room winners-Ola Grace Gardner and Jarvis Beamon -the queen and king. Ordering invitations, going to Chapel Hill on Senior Day, getting the annual ready for press, and having fun at the Junior-Senior make our days busy and eliciting. We found many of our dreams being fulfilled, Yet we find the realization of these dreams not an end in itself-rather they are means toward higher things, for graduation will only fit us for greater dreams, helping us shape our future.
