CLASS HISTORY The Best Years of Our Lives. Yes, these were the good years, the years filled with memories, laughter, study, and frequent reprimands. Above all, they were the years in which we established a sound foundation for our roles as Mr. and Mrs. America of tomorrow. May we, in looking back over the past few years, realize that without the constant guidance, encouragement and kind understanding of the faculty, our hopes of graduation would probably be remnants of an unfilled dream. Let's re- minisce awhile. The year 1956 found seventy -six somewhat frightened but eager freshmen tak- ing their initial step as high school students. It was an awkward feeling, knowing that we would be looked upon as the lambs of high school but under the able direction of Mr. Joe Cash and Mr. C. R. Wright, we soon foundthat we were one of the necessary elements in a high school student body. Our firstimportant task as freshmen was to elect class officers and we chose the following students as leaders: Sue Money, pre- sidentg Larry Allred, vice-president, Bruce Ashburn, secretary, and Joe Doss, trea- surer. Our class contributed many members to the Future Homemakers ofAmerica and Future Farmers of America and the Glee Club. Many students were participating in school sports. Sue Sparks and Sue Money were elected as Homecoming Attendants. We started our sophomore year a much wiser group of students, although much smaller. We then numbered sixty-one. Our sponsors for the year were Mr. Roy Peele and Mr. H. C. Moretz, Jr. For class officers we elected Bruce Ashburn,pre- sident, Larry Allred, vice-president, Earline Reavis, secretary, and Philip Gough, treasurer. Jean Hastings and Shelby Vanhoy were elected Homecoming Attendants. Again we had representatives on some of the varsity teams. Next came our Junior year. Fifty-three of us enrolled with Mr. Hoyt Reece and Mrs. Mildred Matthews as our sponsors. This was a happy year for all of us, a year in which we prepared ourselves for the all important Senior year, which was to follow. Our class officers were Bruce Ashburn, presidentg Joe Doss, vice -president, Lana Long, secretary, and Kaye Pardue,treasurer. OnApril 21, 1959, we were host to the Seniors of 1959 in the West Yadkin School Cafeteria for the Junior -Senior Ban- quet. The Hawaiian theme was presented on this occasion. Another exciting experi- ence was giving the junior play, entitled, Take Three Girls. This year our class had some representatives in the Beta Club. Linda Brown and Earline Reavis were elected Homecoming Attendants. At long last we have arrived as full -fledged Seniors. Our number had decreased to forty-three, but our spirits have increased to an unparalleled height. Our sponsors this year are Mr. John Moretz and Mrs. Helen Wishong and the Class Officers are Joe Doss, president, Carrie Steelman, vice-president, Alice Harris, secretary, and Lu- ther Vanhoy, treasurer. Jerrie Turner and Edna McCann were elected Homecoming attendants to our Homecoming Queen, Sue Sparks. Pattie Mauldin was elected to the position of Editor-in-Chief of our yearbook, The Eagle, this year. Thus far we have enjoyed every phase of the school program. Now we look forward to the few remaining months of school, the months that hold in store for us the most memorable times of our lives. We will attend the Junior -Senior Banquet as formal guests of the juniors. We have yet to begin our work on the Senior play. Soon after this will come to the Baccalaureate Sermon. Our last appearance of the year will be Commencement, that grand and proud moment when we shall walk down the aisle to receive our diplomas. As we leave West Yadkin School as graduates, may we look back to the wonder- ful days we have spent here, owing our deepest respects and profound gratitude to those of the faculty who have given so much of their time and effort that we might reach our most cherished goal.
