t, . — The History Of Class ’64 In September 1960, it was an nounced to the Brave Chief Dr. J. E. Johnston that some young warriors were stranded on his shores. They wanted to search for knowledge on his hunting ground. After sending his rep resentatives to investigate the in vaders on his territory they re ported that each young warrior brought a trophy of the past class in the form of a “promotion card” which would make them satisfactory additions to the tribe. They were told that they might set up their wigwams and search for the game they de sired. It was a rugged country in which this new tribe found them selves. They became discourag ed and wished that they had nev er come. There were too many tangled trails to blaze and too many wild animals to tame. On the whole the outlook was gloomy. Big Chief (McDougle) said this tribe must be named. After much deliberation they were called “Freshmen” which being interpreted means “new and green.” Their unfamiliarity with the strange country caused the Freshman Tribe to make many mistakes and to lose their way through the grounds. They were often late for their classes which caused their chieftain great con cern lest he accepted a tribe too wild to train. However they soon began to understand their position and gain a more firm foothold. Big Chief realized that this newly invaded tribe needed wise counsellor so he placed them into the custody of Mr. J. B. Christ mas and Miss G. G. Gilmore who immediately helped them organ ize their class with the follow ing officers: 9-1 .. . President: Wilbert “Gilbell” Jones Vice Pres.: Ashley “Flash” Nunn Treasurer: Roland “Pete” Rogers Secretary: Asie Hackney 9-2 .. . Prf»sidf‘Tit: Thiel “Butch” .Jackson Vice President: Marie “Re Re” Sanford Secretary: Laura Jackson Treasurer: Robert “Boby” Jones The class learned to play some new and interesting games. On the football team were John “Kid”' .Tones, Charles Tobe Booth, Roland “Pete” Rogers, Wilbert “Gilbell” Jones, and Ashley “Flash” Nunn. On the basketball team were John “Kid” Jones, David “Pea nut” Minor, Willie “Graff” De- graffeareaidt, and John Kid Jones made the first team. Our representatives on the girl’s basketball team were Gloria “Lazy” Campbell and Ma rie Sanford. Our members of the track team were John “Kid” Jones and Clarence “Home” Rogers who broke many records. There were many other activi ties that claimed the attention of the tribe. The following were able to show their musical tal ents in the band: Charles “Tobe” Booth, David “Peanut” Minor, John “Hard to See” Jones, Vic tor Lee McCauley, Ashley “Flash" Nunn, Mae “Lip” Eu banks, Maxine “Chest Cat” Ma son, and Charmain “Hard to Get Along With” Baldwin, Patricia Anne Atwater. All the girls became marvel ous cooks under the direction of Miss R. P. Pope. The boys be longed to N.F.A. where they learned to improve and beautify their homes. Many students became junior members of the patrol squad to help the others keep in order. The members from the freshman tribe were: May Mason, Hazel Laney, Calvin Farrington and Theiel Jackson, captain. Our student council represen tatives were Theiel Jackson re porter or at least news carrier, Wilbert Jones sergeant-at-arms to help people get in trouble; the other members were: Victor Lee McCauley, Patricia Ann Atwater, Bertha Jean Johnson and Emma Marie Sanford. We had junior members of the dramatics, club trying to become famous actors and actresses, they were: Victor McCauley, Evelyn Walker, Pa tricia Ann Atwater, and V/ilbert Jones. The beautiful Miss Mae Frances Eubanks was attendant to Miss Homecoming from our class. We had few but very good cheerleaders with loud voices, big legs and strong bones; they were Eva Foushee, and Patrician who wasn't nothing else but sticks and bones and Mary Benton who had fairly large legs. Keep the girls going. By this time the class was ac quiring mere bravery and was spending more time hunting and fishing for knowledge. I note that some casualties occurred during this year. There was a battle with the Sophomore tribe in which some Freshmen were so badly injured that they had to drop out. On the whole they were victorious in this affray. The members who belonged to the choirs were: Victor McCaul ey, Eva Foushee, Mary Mason, Linda Atwater, Patricia Atwater, and many others wfio brought down rain clouds with their sing ing. September 1961 brought your class further into the hunting ground. Heretofore you had just invaded the borderland. Having been so successful in the battle with the Freshman Examinations you were braver than ever be fore. Big Chief McDougle real ized that you could no longer be called Freshmen so the name Sophpmore was selected for you which means “Promoted to the second section of the Hunting Ground.” In assuming new responsibili ties it was necessary for your tribe to be organized. The coun sellor was Miss E. P. Basnight and Mr. R. L. Farrington who were a great help in advising and leading us on our great hunts and chases. In due form the following officers were selected: Class 10-1 . . . President: Wilbert “Gilbell” Jones Vice President: Ashley “Flash” Nunn Treasurer: Roland “Pete” Rogers Secretary Melba “Phin” Harriston As you were advancing further into the thicket of the forest and the paths were becoming more and more rugged you began to assume a more serious attitude. Two of our members were chos en as officers in the Student Council: Wilbert “Gilbell” Jones Parlimentarian, and Roland “Pete” Rogers 2nd Vive Presi dent. Our class representatives for the Student Council were: Victor McCauley, Marie Sanford and Patricia Atwater. Repre sentatives from the Soohomore tribe were called to keep in all organizations in the land thus reflecting the true worth of the tribe. Many of our girls were dancers and here they are when they were green. On the football team again were ver'^atile Jo^n “Kid” Jones, Charles “Tubby” Booth, Clarence “Home” Rogers, and new mem ber Lewis “Smiling Jack” Atwat er who help win the State Cham pionship that year. On the girls basketball team was Marie “ReRe” Sanford who was moving on im for herself, because this was her second year out. On the bov’s basketball team was Jotin “Hard to See” Jones (Remember when he put the ball in the wrong basket that year. We still had a number of band members to entertain the people during that time of year, the members were: Mae "Lip'’ Eu banks, Maxine “Chest Cat” Ma son, Charmain “Little Woman” Baldwin, Charles “Tubby” Booth, David “Peanut” Minor, John “Kid” Jones, Patricia “Big Wo man” Atwater, Ashley “Flash” Nunn, and Victor “No Name” McCauley. Representing our class for the homecoming activities was Mae Eubanks as the Homecoming at tendant. I should say she was very popular around the school especially with the boys to run two years straight. Girls were still in the home economics class trving to cook and sew. It was told that in this year one girl sewed her finger instead of her cloth. The science club was organized with students trying to operate on spiders and frogs and I should say John Jonej couldn’t even see the spider mdeh less operate on him. Other members were Mae Eubanks, Roland Rogers, Bar bara Moses, Wilbert Jones, David Minor, Charles Booth, Patricia Atwater, and Willie Degraffen- reaidt. September, 1962, found (49) braves lined up already to invade a new hunting ground which the name of Juniors bestowed upon them they entered with all the self-confidence and pride the name implies. You welcome to your ranks (William Gattis) who was noted for strength and brav ery. The noted chieftains who guided you were Miss E. P. Bas night and Mrs. M. D. Turner. Our new officers were: President: Ashley Nunn Vice President: Willie Deeraffenreaidt Secretary: Mae Eubanks Asst. Sec.: Charmain Baldwin Treasurer: Roland Rogers Sgt.-at-Arms: John Jones Student Council reoresentatives were Roland Rogers as Vice President, Patricia Atwater as Secretary, and other members of the tribe v/ho I bother to call their names. Also poem we had person be coming famous as a poet and here is one to read his poem now. Springing from the football team this year was again John “Kid” Jones, Charles Tobe Booth, Lewis “Flubber” Atwater, Clar ence “Home” Rogers and as a new we have the famous Willie ‘Graff” Degraffenreaidt, with Charles Geese Meat Alston as the trainer. Cheering the boys to victory were our famous cheerleaders; they were Patricia “Bones” At water, William “Greasey” Gat tis, Charmain “Skinney” Bald win, Evelyn “Tubby” Walker, and Mary “Snuff Dipper” Ben ton as head cheerleader. There was a lonely member reoresenting our class for the basketball team, but man I should say she was swing with the boys. Our one and only Ma rie Sanford and Mae Eubanks as trainer to help keep the girls in good .shape. For the boys there was John Jones who was popular that year and Calvin Farrington trainer. Many of the students were on the newspaper staff hoping that it would advance farther, but there were still only two papers a year. The members from our tribe were: Victor “No Name” Mc- Cau’ev, Business Manager; Wil liam “Greasey” Gattis, exchange editor, with other members as follows: Evelyn Walker, Marie Sanford and Maxine Mason. As full fledged Seniors you entered the new territory wHh self-assurance. On your shields the motto “Strive Not to Eaual, But to Excel” was emblazoned in shining letters of steel. As you marcHed forward to invade and connuer the last section of the huiiting ground ovur days of training were nearing an end. The lower tr’i^es were imnressed bv yo”r wisdom and bc.avery. The cTiicTtains who guided ^ou were Miss R P. Pone and Miss E. P. Basnight, ah of whom were proud of their su^iects.

We had two well-known artists among our group who were Lar ry Bleet Johnson and David Pea nut Minor, who drew all our cre ative paintings. Early in the year plans for a great celebration called Com mencement, were being laid. This was to be the Crowning event of the four years in the Hunting Grounds. Speeches were to be made, plays given, and other forms of festivities enjoy ed. All trophies of the chase were to be gathered together and those offering the most worthy were to receive a reward in the form of a certain type of sheep skin called “Diploma.” Today you are here to cele brate this great occasion and to receive whatever rewards Big Chief Thom.pson and his chief tains have to offer for your four years as outstanding warriors.

Rosemary St. Geometry Class Has Display Project Our geometry class had a pro ject displaying geometry in na ture and in daily life. We were divided into groups for the bul letin board display, the table dis play and the geometry book. On the bulletin board were ex amples of geometric figures in nature and in daily life. The board entitled “Geometry Plays Safe” featured the road signs that we see as we ride down the street; such as, the stop sign, railroad crossing, yield sign, and speed limit sign better known as the octagon, circle, triangle, and quadrilateral respectively in geometry. 'The one entitled “Ge ometry in Everyday Life,” show ed flowers, leaves, a slide rule, dominoes, and other practical ex amples of geometric figures. , The table display exhibited ge ometry in sports. On the tennis court, baseball diamond, football field, basketball court, and race track; we find the circle, rec tangle, rhombus, parallel lines, and quadrilaterals. Our geometry book displays what we have learned so far in geometry; for example, defini tions, axioms, postulates, theor ems, geometric figures, and pro blems using these items. This project has been quite educational, in that it has aided us in learning to apply geometry to practical situations, which we use daily. An Editorial To Our Seniors Of ’63-’64 Dear Seniors, that long dream ed of day is finally here. You ere graduating from a school, which has been a great influence upon your life. These early years of your life have been very important years of learning. Although you will learn something many times to come, these twelve or thirteen years by professional trainers will have a different in fluence on your life ahead. On these last few days in high school you may look back and rememfoer very distinctly your first day in school. That new and that first day, though you were too young to realize it, were your beginnings to a new life in the world. As you look back into that part of your life (your school life), you will remember those wonderful, best years of a care free youth and of course some bad times in those years; but because these days are growing to an end so very quickly, be thankful you have them as mem ories. Your leadership in your last year of high school has left im pressions upon many of us stu dents. Please be good adult ex amples for the growing children that will soon join you. As you go into the adult world, go with courage, go ‘ with hope, go with your given knowl edge, go to help your fellow man, but most of all go with GOD’S SPEED then you will be success ful in life in the best way.
