The time for which all of us had waited so pa - tiently--September, 1952--had arrived at last, and, as freshmen, we were treated as freshmen! We were last in the lunch line, but this was just one of the many things we had tt get accustomed to doing. Even though we were unnoticed by upper-classmen, we felt important. Sophomores! After struggling through the freshman year, we were promoted to the sophomore class. Feeling very dignified, we marched into our homeroom. Things were much the same as the year before, with the ex- ception of a new teacher, Mrs. Ledford. Amid the noise and laughter the year ended, bringing us ever closer to the front of the lunch line. Juniors! Thiswasa big year for us. We had many decisions and plans to make. Money, money, money--how and where to get it --became our main problem. With the help of our teacher, Mrs. Ledford, we planned our Junior-Senior Dinner-Dance. We sold magazines, candy, and had paper drives. The success of all these activities and the high school parties gave us the secure feeling of reachingour goal. Our Junior-Senior Banquet came off as planned at Sedgefield Manor. The theme Carolina Moon was carried out successfully with the presentation of a Negro Minstrel, which was directed by Mrs. Stanton. Another big moment for us was the day we ordered class rings. The color of the rings was changed from a red set to a black set. The days were counted until the rings finally arrived. Much was accomplished during our Junior year, and many memories were added to our already bulging collection. Seniors! September, 1955--the beginning of the end. At last we had reached the peak of our dreams--we became seniors. The front of the lunch line was left open for us now. We elect- ed our annual staff and started work immediately to meet the deadline. We were very much enthused when we met to decide on the color of our caps and gowns. The unanimous decision was for blue and white. As memories of the last four years are renewed, we take pride in presenting this Our Class History . Historians Nancy McDowell Barbara Jean Vaden so PROPHECY One cool November day in nineteen hundred and sixty-seven the door of the Century Model Agency for which I work opened. The wind ruffled the papers in my typewriter. Looking up, 1 saw a smartly dressed young woman whom 1 at once recognized as my old friend and schoolmate, Lynne Minich. We began to talk of our school days at Guilford. Wondering what had become of our friends, we decided to pay a visit to the small metropolis once again. Wecaught a ride with Maurice Poole, President of the World Wide Bag Company, who was making hismonthly business trip to Guilford in the latest Jaguar Jet. On arriving we found the Quaker community was prospering, and it had grown so much that we hardly recog- nized our old stamping-ground. We were surprised to learn that thrifty and business-like Kermit Robinson, better known now as Square Deal Robinson, was behind the growth of Guilford. The efficient Mobile Taxi Service, owned and operated by Steve Ratcliff, quickly took us to the school, which was now all glass and mechanically controlled. The buildings were the clever idea of the famous inventor, Charles Einstein” Canada As we stepped intothe moving hallway, we were met by none other than Mr, Jenkins, gliding briskly down the hall. Upon further observation we found that he was being meekly followed by three familiar figures. It seems that Lyndon Clark, P. J. Shelton, and Carrol Wray had not stayed out of trouble long enough to graduate. While talking to commercial teacher Jean Warf, we learned that Ted Duggins had not yet found a commence- ment robe small enough -- he's still waiting to be fitted. There were also three other Guilford graduates teaching at their Alma Mater. Mrs. Taylor's dizzy spells had forced her to retire, and in her place was Jane Yates. Faye Canada, former wizard with needle and thread, was busy teaching the Daughters of the Modern World to transform cloth into sheik, modern day clothing. In the gym Elizabeth Sharpe was coaching her girls' All-Star basketball team. Lunch was served in the spacious glass cafeteria by dietician Mildred Page. As you might guess, they were still serving hot dogs! After lunch we stopped by the lab where John Davenport was performing an experiment on 24-hour-a-day sleeping pills. On the helicopter landing we were amazed tosee Billy Jonesgiving a lecture on safe flying through congested air lanes. Reluctantly leaving the school which we once knew so well, we drove down the main street of Guilford Col- lege. We stopped at the fabulous Last Stop Repair Garage owned by millionaire Garry Milloway and talked to Eleanor Boyd, wuu «as having her small mobile serviced. Next we saw the beauty salon of Mile. Elizabeth Caudle. Ann Highfill, the professional manicurist, was half owner, and next door the nationally known designer, Jane Stack, was holding a fashion show featuring her new straight look. The community now has a new attraction -- the Carolina Theatre which is owned by Martha Hannah. We were astonished to find Nancy Honeycutt there as chief cashier and Alton Tanner as supervisor of ushers. At the theatre we picked up stray bits of gossip. Douglas Stanley is now owner of a used jet lot, and Nancy Miller is his A-l secretary. Iris Simpson and Barbara Williams have a big business of their own -- Night Day Baby Sitting Agency. Peggy McGuire, the famous illustrator of children's books, has just been awarded a Nobel Prize in addition to the coveted Mad Award. Across from the Carolina Theatre we saw a brilliant sign advertising Wright Bathing Suits for All Women. Philip's glamorous model was Nancy McDowell. In the next block we saw Steele's Department Store headed by Shelby Maxwell, co-owner of the chain of stores. Hailed by Wayne Jones who was just stepping into the subway, we accepted his invitation to a football game in which he starred as water boy. During half-time at the game we were entertained by the Guilford High-Fi Band led by Barbara Vaden, who was now Drum Majorette. After the game we came upon Jim Newlin in the col- lege library doing research for his new book entitled DEATH AND THEREAFTER. On our way back to New York we landed at Durham to visit our old friend, Nancy Davis, who was now pro- fessor of physics and chemistry at Duke University. On her desk was a copy of the latest issue of the COLLEGE DIGEST, featuring the life story of Sue Hamilton, who had become famous as a fiction-and-fact alumnae writer. We, the Class of 1956, have predicted! Prophetesses Margaret Tanner Lynne Minich 31 Wayne Jones Delegate to Boys' State 1955.

Richard Spencer, the director of the Guilford Band, deserves praise and re- cognition for his tireless efforts. Despite the handicap of having to hold all rehear- sals at night, the band has progressed continually. The band is deeply indebted to the Guilford College Lion's Club for their contributions which have made the band's expansion possible. GLEE CLUB This year our Glee Club consists of the seventh through the twelfth grades. Despite the fact that we have had to practice after school, our attendance has remained very high. We are very proud to have a music room to be used just for Glee Club.

The Manor provided the per- fect setting for our theme, Carolina Moon. It was not hard to imagine a southern plantation as we ate the de- lectable food and were entertained by the Negro Minstrel. Harold Gale and his orchestra provided lively music, and the dance was crowded with juniors, seniors, faculty and parents. 46 Friday,October 21, our football team defeated Sumner 13-7 in an excit- ing afternoon game. Half time activities centered around the presentation of the Homecoming Queen, Nancy Miller, and her court; Nancy McDowell, Rosa Watterson, Sally Marsh, and Bobby Clinard. The cheerleaders and sev- eral black hornets added to the activities. Following the football game the Monogram Club members decorated the cafeteria in black and gold. At 8:00 that even- ing the Homecoming Dance began. Everyone enjoyed the refreshments and the dancing. The Queen and her court were presented in a figure dance during which the Queen was crowned by Maurice Poole, Monogram Club president. 47 CHEERLEADERS Catherine Crabuee, Chief, Carole Roberts, Linda Jones, Janet Coble, Lellian Robinson, Margaret Tanner, Joyce Lockhart, is FOOTBALL SQUAD 1955-1956 This was the first winning season for the Black Hornets in the past four years. With Ace Charleton and John Lambeth holding the coaching reins, the team was off to a good start with victories over Walnut Cove and Jamestown. After a setback with Gibsonville, we were back in the winning streak the next Friday by defeating Sumner. The opening kickoff was caught by Maurice Poole and was run for a touchdown. Our game with Allen Jay, the defending champions, was a big one for us, and the game ended in a tie. Summerfield and Pleasant Garden also fell victims to the Black Hornets. Kenny Wray was selected for the All-County team; and Wayne Jones, Maurice Poole, and Alton Tanner were selected to play in a County All-Star Game in Winston-Salem. 50 Pete Edwards Right Half Carroll Wray Backfield Elwood Flynt Steve Puckett Right End Center Joe Nelson Line 52 Wayne Jones Right Tackle Kenny Wray Right Guard Hal Jenkins Fullback Maurice Poole Quarterback Sherwood Thomas Left Guard Alton Tanner Left End 5S GIRLS’ BASKETBALL SQUAD 1955-1956 On December 7 the Black Hornets plunged into another successful year of basketball. Although we had triumphed over most of the top teams, we ended up in sixth place. Entering the tournament, we enthu- siastically pursued our goal--to be the champs of 1956 as well as the defending champions of 1955. Being in sixth place, we were considered the underdogs of the tournament, but we defeated the high- seated teams of Nathanael Greene and Allen Jay. We moved into the finals against the Rankin Rockets. In the first quarter the Rockets soared ahead with a 20 point lead; but the Black Hornets, possessing an indomitable spirit, closed the gap with only two min- utes remaining in the game. As the final buzzer sounded, the scoreboard showed the Hornets loser by one point. Coach Charlton's untiring efforts for three months did not go unrewarded. Three of our players-Elizabeth Sharpe, Nancy Miller, and Marie Flynt-were placed on the all-tournament team. The boys' team in basketball this year was, although not winning many games, al- ways scrapping right to the end. The Black Hornets, coached by John Lambeth, gave a good account of themselves every min- ute of play though many of their opponents possessed more height and experience. Our final game with Bessemer proved to be the most exciting. The Black Hornets came within two points of beating one of the county's leading teams. Since all the team members return next year, Guilford has good prospects for a strong, successful team. 56 57 BASEBALL SQUAD 1955-1956 Earl Bennett Jack Hunter Kenny Wray Don Rumsey LmfO kk Ron Rumsey Kermit Robinson Jimmy Jessup r 8 SPONSORS Dr. Mrs. Monroe W.
