THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF T957 Now the history of the Class of 1957, of Yadkin High School, City of Boonville, State of North Carolina. ln the year of T953-54 school term in the Ninth Month, and on the seventh day of the month there entered into this Land of Learning, thirty-two seekers of knowledge. We came up with a great determination to reach a certain destination namely: Our High School Graduation. And it came to pass, as we entered this land as freshmen, we were received with warm welcomings and re- ioicings by those who were to lead us up theby-ways of knowledge, and they spoke unto us words of cheer, and of encouragement. As we dwelt in the land as freshmen, it seemed to be one of the most exciting years we had ever witnessed. We were now in High School, and were able to participate in many new activities. The most exciting activity was competing for ourfirst time in the school's Annual Popularity Contest. We ranked fourth place in the contest with S233.5O. Our advisers were Mrs. O. M. Campand Miss W.O. Moore. Virginia Juanita Jarrett was our class con- testant. Now it came to pass at the end of our first year, we were promoted to sophomore land for our second year, T954-55. This was also a joyous year, for this was our second step before reaching our great goal. During this year in the Popularity Contest, we ranked fourth place again with S220.25. Mrs. R. J. Roberts and Mr. R. L. Durrah were our advisors and our contestant was lda Janet Glenn. Now the year T955-56 school term came to pass, and success looked fair, for now we could visualize being seniors, but we knew that from the beginning each step was to be made separate, and only time would Permit us to be seniors. So we waited and accepted the tasks which were before us. So this year we won first place in the PopularityContest, with S474.76. Our advisers again were Mrs. Roberts and Mr. Durrahp and our contestant was Laura Jane Hampton. She was crowned Miss Yadkin High for T955-56. During this year, in the month of Marc h, Mr. R. L. Durrah, our Science and Mathematics instructor left us and went to a distant place and there was sor- row among this class. For verily had he made himself dearly beloved by the Class of 1957. But the class went on striving through this land of promise and success. Mr. C. O. Matthews came as our Science and Mathematics in- structor. We welcomed him into our school family. As the year progressed we looked forward to sponsoring a jun- ior-senior prom. So in the month of April on the 27th night we enioyed a wonderful iunior-senior prom. One we will never forget. Now this, the fourth year in the history of this great Class of l957, has been one of much toiling and little leisure time along the way, for we have been making preparations for our last and final days, at this our High School Alma Mater. Now it came to pass, our pride had grown in bigness because of being classified as seniors. We began looking forward to wearing some symbol befitting our classification, and we purchased gold rings bearing the engraved em- blem ofthe school. During this year we won third place in the Popularity Contest raising S325.10. Our advisers were Mrs. G.M. Anthony and Mrs. P. D. Porter, our contestant w,as Marva Jean Carson . Being seniors this year, we attended the Annual Senior Day held at A.8iT. College in Greensboro, N.C . nine- teen members of the class, our principal, Mr. McCallum, our adviser Mrs. McCallum and Mrs. Anderson went and enjoyed a wonderful day. So it has come to pass that out of the thirty-two that entered this land of learning in the year of l953, only eighteen will depart. But those who strayed toward a different goal, will regret their standard for High School education, but too late to reap a good harvest when a none prospering seed has been sown. Beholdthe name ofGraduation, blessed is the one that leadth the way, and the Class that standeth in the line, and sitteth in the graduates seat. Behold, the name of Education, for because of it our leaders fteachersj have endured great torments. Verily have they been grateful for that noble cause. Faith, Hope, and Confidence yield knowledge, plus Education yields a gate-way to success. And now may the blessings that ever attend the noble, good and true, follow and abide with us all now and forevermore . ELVA LULA MAE SMITH Historian
