CLASS HISTORY We, the Seniors of 1959, of Walstonburg High School, have climbed a ladder bui It by dreams step by step. As the time of graduation draws near we recall those dreams remem- bering the desire for their fulfilment andthe joy of realization. One of our dreams was to finally get in high school. Finally we became green freshmen. With Mr. Ben Wethingtonour teacher we spent a fun -pa eked freshman year. We really had many things to learn. Days quickly passed by and before we knew it it was vacation time. September 1954, school again and we were Sophomores. We felt especially important.thatyear. Our teacher Mrs. Richard Anthony packed another year for us. The height of our ambition was to be- come Juniors. We had many things to look forward to as Juniors. We would have a Junior play and a Junior Supper. We thought there was nothing more important in the world than getting to be Juniors. Now we are Juniors at last. We had a full year already planned for us. We were ve ry glad to have Mrs. Russell Britt as our Junior teacher. One of our big surprises i n our Junior year was our trip to New York and Washington. Of course this made us have to earn money any way we possibly could and believe you me we really did it. First we had our Junior Supper. Second came our Junior Play, The Scarecrow Creeps. We had a very small Junior class with only five girls and fourteen boys but we finally raised enough money to go to NewYork. Boy, did we have a swell time. By the time our Junior year was over we really thought we were the most important people in the whole school . At last we were going to be Seniors. Last of all our Senior year rolls around. The first day we came back from vacation we were very happy to find out that we were going to have Mrs. Britt as our Senior sponsor. W e were all ex- cited over our class rings. We knew we were importantbecause we were wearing a class ring. Another thing we had an annual to publisit which meant plenty of work and plenty of money. We also gave a Senior play, The Honeymoon is Over. We had a Senior Supper to prepare for. We really had to work hard. Everyone seems to get the idea when you get to be Seniors you have nothing to do.
