ja jA058 0 ,SZPUQ ILVLCJ ,AALU8 ,SZVU8 l Foremost in our minds are those of our class group who have sacrificed years of their youth in defense of a cause that is clear and near to us all. We could never, in preparing to branch out upon new and chal- lenging adventures of life, overlook the fact that we are diminished in number by those of our group who are members of the armed forces. Was.. i f f' ' Yes, we are grateful, but as human beings ofttimes find themselves unable to express what they feel, so do we, the members of the senior class, at a time like this realize that words can in no measure tell what we feel, what we owe, and how much gratitude we have for those of the class of I946 who serve and have served in the armed forces of the United States of America.

gfdrid ,M5 for? On September 22, l942, a group of enthusiastic Freshmen appeared on the campus of the Winston-Salem Teachers College. What a place! Beautiful buildings and friendly faces we had never seen before! Everywhere we went these words were heard: There goes a Freshman. Yes, we were Freshmen beginning a new start in a new place. Our first day was a busy one. First came our placement tests. The next two days were used for grouping us into sections and for registration. This meant that we were to be divided. Nevertheless, our task began. We soon learned our way around, and through the activities of Orientation Week we learned much about our campus. We soon came to know each other and were able to choose our leaders. Carrie Richardson was our president that year. Our Advisor was Mr. George L. Johnson. There were many activ- ities which were new to us and which have made Winston-Salem Teachers College an in- spiration through the years. Success was our motto. lt was exemplified in scholar- ship with such persons as: Sylvia Bell, Mary Beloe, Betty Carter, Gloria Diggs, Jacqueline Fitch, Carrie Richardson and others. ln the field of dramatics such persons as Elizabeth Bailey, Gloria Diggs, Alice Goode, Ophelia Hairston, Claudia Harper, Willie Pamplin and Carrie Richardson were outstanding. ln the field of music we contributed such persons as Sylvia Bell, Alice Beverly, Thelma Fentress, Geraldine Gordon, Virginia Harper, Christine Keeling, Savannah King, Modena McClee and Julius Smith. As the year rapidly passed our aspirations rose. A record of the Freshmen Year would not be complete without mentioning the lovable time we had at the Freshman-Sophomore Ball. ln September, I943, we were no longer Freshmen but Sophomores. We were now able to assist the incoming Freshmen. That year we met many new friends and we came to know some of them as well as we know our own classmates. Our goals for the year were set higher. Harry Wheeler was our president. We were still striving for and seeking for the best and wanting to help others at all times. We were represented in the Girl Scout Troop by the following persons: Margaret Edmunds, Celestine Haywood, Ruby Hunt, Otelia Spaulding and Hester Stephens. The Sigma Kappa Delta Club was organ- ized this year by members of our class and was composed of the following members: Betty Carter, Gloria Diggs, Jacqueline Fitch, Claudia Harper, Sarah Harris, Helen Legrande, Maggie Scales, Louise Smith, lda Wells and Ernestine Whitted. We were represented in the field of sports by Romeo Avery, James Brown, Clarence Cooper, William Davis, Carl l30l
