Histotu Glass ICQSI ln 1939, forty mystified young children began what they called an exciting adventure. Graduation day seemed far in the future but here it is at last. Only seven of the group continued at Zeb Vance to graduate with us, Mary Jane Dick- erson, Clarice Coghill, Mary Earle Rowland, Margie Brown, Sally Jo Coghill, Elliott Brummitt, and Clifton Woodlief. By gaining four along the way we have a grand total of eleven. To each and every member one of the most exciting events waswhen we en- tered high school. Under the leadership of Mr. R. T. Smith, we learned many new and interesting things. Becoming sophomores brought us one step closer to the goal we were try- ing to reach. Mrs. R. C. Young was a very helpful sponsor and in our hearts we still have many things to remember. Our main enjoyment was serving at the Junior-Senior Prom. At last we were juniors and all the world seemed bright. With Mrs. W. A. Watson as our sponsor, we had a very eventful year. With each member doing his part, we elected Mary Earle Rowland as President and Clifton Woodlief as Vice-President, Sally JoCoghill as Secretary and Bobby Roberts asTreasurer. For our motto we chose Don't be a crank be a self- starter and our class flow- er was gladiolus, with pink and lavender as our class colors. The greatest event in our junior year was the Junior-Senior Banquet. With the colonial theme and the aid of the sophomores as waiters and waitresses we made an interesting presentation. On the night of graduation for the class of 1950, we carried lighted candles and sang a song just for them. After eleven years we then entered our senior year. Everyone in school knew it too, as well as Nell F. Murphy, our sponsor. To begin our year we elected Clifton Woodlief as President, Elliott Brum- mitt as Vice-President, Margie Brown as Secretary, Bobby Roberts as Treas- urer, Clarice Coghill as Reporter, Joan Knight as Testator, Mary Jane Dicker- son as Poet, Durwood Watkins as Class Prophet, Mary Earle Rowland as Gift- orian and Sally Jo Coghill as Historian. Since we had such a small number in our class we chose Small in number but mighty in strength for our motto. For our flower we chose the red rose, and red and white as our colors. We began our social year with an ice cream supper on Thursday, September 28. InOctober we had very much fun when we attended the State Fair in Raleigh, North Carolina. November arrived, and on November 17 the seniors gave the play Mammy's Lil Wild Rose before a large appreciative crowd. A few nights later Miss Nell F. Murphy entertained with a delicious meal, Murphy style, in her home. In December we were entertained by our grade-parents with a Christ- mas party at Mary Earle Rowland's house. Everyone enjoyed this very much. In January the seniors had a bowling party. In April the Seniors were entertained with a delightful banquet and prom by the Juniors. Then on April 12 the Seniors left for along awaited trip to Wash- ington, D.C. The Seniors of 1951 have had a most eventful school life and most of them plan to continue their education in some institution of higher learning. N. Ltsiii mink' uni-+1-L L 5 W0 H4014 r'lt-.i- .
