CHAPTER III We returned to school in September, 1953, with refreshed spirits after completing a hard year of study which crowned us as full-pledged juniors. Our class ofiicers for this year were: President, Fred Thornton, Secretary, Imogene McKnight, Treasurer, William Henderson. Our class consisted of 159 members, a loss of 9 students. During this year, we were well represented in the field of sports. In football fifteen boys exhibited fine play, in baseball six boys represented our classg in basketball Eve boys showed their ability and cooperative spirit, and in track and field athletics, we were represented by six fine athletes. In addition to sports, we engaged in other activities and made other achieve- ments. Our class won first prize for the best play in the annual tournament, and also the prize for selling the most tickets for the tournament. We also gave several chapel exercises during the year for which we merited much appraisal. Our junior candidate for Miss T. C. was Miss Eleanor King. The contest was a close one in which Miss King lost to her opponent, thus having to serve as first attendant to the queen. Our junior year ended successfully with four of our classmates being initiated into the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society. These were Misses Josephine Ardrey, Clarice Graham, Vivian Lewis, and Mr. James Cox. CHAPTER IV In September, 1954, our forces again, for the last time, encamped upon the grounds of our college. We were now dignified seniors, ready to take the final step in preparing ourselves for our life careers. We started the year with a bang by pushing our candidate for Miss T. C. on to victory. This queen was none other than Miss Vivian Crutchfield of Balti- more, Maryland. We also won recognition in having sold the most tickets for the tourna- ment plays for two times. One of our class members, Miss Julia Lewis, won a prize as the best actress Our officers for this year were: President, Fred Thornton, Secretary, Imogene McKnight, Treasurer, Janice Stinson. Although we were not highly represented in sports by quantity, we were highly represented by quality. In football we had eight representativesg in base- ball, 4 representatives, in basketball, 2 representatives. As the senior year gave us the opportunity to do student teaching, only about two thirds of us were on campus at any time during the year. But even that did not incapacitate us. We continued to tread onward. We began working on our yearbook, under the leadership of Josephine Ardrey, our Editor-in-Chief, and her assistant, Selwyn Clyburn: Three members of our senior class were selected as candidates for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges for the year 1955. They are: Misses Josephine Ardrey, Clarice Graham, and Vivian Lewis. One of the final honors of the senior class was the election of Miss Catherine Sudderth of Hickory, N. C., as Miss Teachers College Lady of the Year for 1955. So from freshmen to seniors we have had our thrills and joys, our sadnesses and disappointments, but we have looked forward to the future and tried to pre. pare ourselves to serve humanity. l 4 w
