MEMORIES OF WEST YADICIN IN 19L7-1.8 September 9 was the dreaded or glorious day for the return to school and with the early appearance of school buses throughout the upper reaches of Yadkin county, a new and colorful school year began. New teachers were almost as thick as students and the accent was on youth this session. A new .home economics teacher took her brood out to the home economics building and the scouring began and equipment was unc:-ated.A new social science teacher,a man at that, dusted off the old history books during the first week and tried to cram some knowledge into the already full noggins. The physical educallion was taken . care of by a recent grad of Woman's College and the kids jumped at the mere mention of play. New faces were seen among students and some who had been expectedf to return were not present because of numerous marriages and just plain growing up. The first social event of the year was the annual Halloween Carn- ival which took up all available space at the gm and a spirit of fun and frolic prevailed over all. The school funds were increased by about 8700 that night so each off us were proud they came and had four fun too. Basketball replaced the booths in the gym and early work began to select candidates to represent -,our school on the hardwood floors throughout the winter. with home games trips to ease the monotony, the gadabouts found plenty of places to ge and still support the teams all the way. Christmas holidays brought a welcome relief from the drudgery of'classes and looking at teachers faces. Many presents were exchanged and the lovers donned new watches, engagement rings, dinner Yingsna-Hd other trifles too numerous and plentiful tg ment,1on,Ba.nquet, talk

started after the holidays and the juniors began a concentrated program designed to give a banquet to end all celebrations. The junior play was a riot and more people were surprised since the juniors were sup- posed to be against everything. Congratulations! Down in the gym, the girls donned new uniforms and the boys sported brand new jackets. The electric scoreboard.worked fineland the points climbed upward as the games ran on. At dinner time, the classes took over to play basketball and the thing ran on so long it never was settled, although the 12th grade ,lays claim to the boys title and the girls are still arguing about it. An aggressive group of citizens met in February and formed a PTA at the school. This organization moved in the direction of better school and home relations by sponsoring a basketball game and ' womanless- Wedding! They met and discussed the school bond issue and the group looked forward to assisting the school program for a long time. I The year had a lot of arguments and pleasant times,lovers quarrela and basketball trips, debates and speaking contests, quizzes and cudp, trips to Brooks' selling ads, and just plain loafing. All in all,it was one of the best years and we do not regret one single second of it. We are glad the busses broke down so we could miss first period and We are glad the snows came so we could have a few days off,but we will not ever forgot the boys and girls we sat with,talked with,and laughed with. We s metimes had bad days, but we never remember th m. Thanks to all our friends for a glorious and happy year. Stop in to see us Balletimeooooo ooo
