(Hass Of 1951 Mickey Parrish Teddy McCray jack Blacka William Argenbright President Vice President Secretary ■ Treasurer Senior Class History Let’s see, what have we as a class done to make us famous? Oh yes! We are the first class to have spent four years at W ilson getting an education. No, we’re not dumb, we iust happened to have started here as freshmen. Yes siree, we, the graduating class of ’51 are proud of the fact that we are the first class to spend four years of our life getting an edu¬ cation at this wonderful school. Back in the seventh grade we heard the news that they were going to combine the four schools into one big consolidated school. That meant that we would have to come here c.s Freshmen. The only friends we would have would be the ones at our small schools. If we were put into one big school, we would only know about two or three hundred people out of about 1200. And the way they mixed us up. Oh, how would we ever get along? Our Freshman year went by fast as we made new friends and participated in the many activities. In spite of the fact that we w ' ere frightened, we got along beautifully with one another. Finally after months of diligent study we became Sophomores. By this time we had become well acquainted with the school and had made many new ' friends. We became in¬ terested in more and more activities. Then as time rolled on we became Juniors, another step higher in our education. The main event of our junior year was the “Junior-Senior Prom” that W ' e sponsored for the Seniors. And now, here we are, Seniors, Whew! If it had not been for Mr. McChesney, our principal, and his wonderful faculty, we never would have made it. Never-the-less, here we are, 220 proud Seniors of the graduating class of 1951, leaving a school that we will never forget.
