CLASS HISTORY A happy but frightened group of boys and girls entered Woodleaf High School just four short years ago. To many people the year 1943 did not hold too much significance, but to us, the members of the class of ’47, it was one of the most important ones of our lives. It was at this time that we began cur high school careers. Little did we know of high school life, but we learned quickly, and now, four years later, we are seniors. It seems that we have been going on a long journey; now we have reached our destination. In the fall of 1943 there were approximately forty of us “green” fresh- men. Under the leadership of Mrs. Chambers and Miss Neal we soon became accustomed to high school life and work. School days passed quickly and we were the traditional sophomores. The one outstanding event of the year was the Sopho- more-Senior Banquet. Time sped on, and we were at last jolly juniors. As always, the junior year was one of importance. We chose Annie Murph as our president. With the help of Miss Current, we sponsored a big Hallowe’en carnival and also sold magazines. Our class colors were blue and white. At last the long leoked for day came and we were seniors! For our president we chose Virginia Steele who has proven to be capable and efficient. Our class colors are blue and white, and our flower is the red rose. One of the highlights of the year was our trip to Chapel Hill to see Carolina and V. P. I. play a very close football game. We are grateful to Mr. Harrill for making this trip possible. We are proud of our years in Woodleaf School and of the many lessons we have learned. We know that our experience has been worth while. We wish to extend our appreciation to the teachers, friends, and fellow students who have made our high school days happy and profitable. Still, our journey is not complete. Although we feel we have achieved the pinnacle of success as we see it, we realize that these four years have only been an opening to the door of knowledge. Perhaps we are sad as we finish our high school days, but with the knowledge we have obtained in school, we can overcome all obstacles that come to us in life by applying our class motto, “To make every job a masterpiece.” FRANCIS GLOVER.
