gram. Sprays of fresh roses
clustered about the candles at
intervals along the tables. The
centerpiece, constructed by
Barbara Whiteside, was a
loaded covered wagon, Cali-
fornia-bound, on a desert
scene. *
Beverly Watson, junior pres-
ident, presided as mistress of
ceremonies- James Lowell
Bogue gave a humorous ac-
count of a number of the
guests. A quartet of juniors,
consisting of Maebelle Hughes,
Evangeline Franks. David
Billingsley, and Calvin Han-
cock sang an old favorite of
the Forty-Niners, “Clemen-
tine.”
In her opening address, the
toastmistress welcomed the
first Forty-niners in a hundred
years and wished them success
in their search for not only
the gold that buys silks and
satins; houses and lands, but
also the gold of character and
a worthwhile place of service.
In his response, Senior Presi-
dent Bobby Joe Powdrill
thanked the juniors and their
PRESS CLUB
BANQUET
The annual press club ban-
quet was given April 21 in the
high school cafeteria. Jane
Smith, the retiring editor, pre-
sided as toastmaster and gave
the welcome address. Mr. Per-
menter gave the response.
The cafeteria was decorat-
ed with a lone pine symboliz-
ing the name of the school pa-
per. The centerpiece was of
red roses and white candles.
The program was simple
and very informal. The toast-
mistress introduced the next
year's staff which consists of:
Editor-in-chief, Beverly Wat-
son ; Assistant Co-Editors,
June Henry and Mary Gates;
Art Editors, Gloria Bowlin and
Cecil Brittain; Columnists,
Tommy Wall, Ester
Darnell, Jo Ann Stilley, Wan-
da Eakin, Doris Marie Honey-
cutt, Barbara Young, Wini-
fred Bryce, and Beverly Ann
Cox.
A good time was had by all,
talking, getting together, and
eating. The menu consisted
of fried chicken, mashed po-
tatoes, string beans, head let-
tuce salad, rolls, strawberry
shortcake, and iced tea.

SERMf
The annual baccalaureate
service’ for the seniors was
held Sunday, May IS at 11:09
a. m. in the high school audi-
torium.
After the processional, the
invocation was given by Rev.
W. A. Dollahite. The choir
sang three hymns’ which were:
“Lead Me To The Rock,” “Oh
For A Thousand Tongues,'
and “Let There Be Peace.”
The sermon was delivered
by Rev. B. A. Watson. His
text was • taken from Paul’s
tetter to Timothy.
While his message -was
brief, still, the speaker point-
ed out with force the higher
ideals of life, and brought a
message that gripped not only
the hearts of the graduates,
but the large audience in at-
tendance, as well.
After the sermon, the bene-
Marie diction was pronounced by
Rev. Dollahite and the reces-
sional closed the service.
The ushers, who were chos-
en from the junior class on a
basis of scholarship, were
Beverly Watson, David Bil-
lingsley, Evangeline Flanks,
James Lowell Bogue, Maebelle
Hughes, and John Neill
Rhodes.

HIGH SCHOOL
PICNIC ENJOYED
The entire high school cele-
brated its annual picnic day
on May 6 this year.
Seniors, their sponsors, and
three room mothers took the
traditional trek to Tyier State
Park for a day of swimming,
boating, dancing, eating and J
carefree fun in general.
Juniors enjoyed the day at
Witcher’s lake, where the
sophomores, who had spent
the morning in So-So, joined
them in the afternoon.
Freshmen reported plenty
of food and a good time at
Corry’s Lake.
All in all, at the end of the
day, everybody was able to
breathe a sigh of contentment
and thankfulness that the
whole high school had again
observed picnic day without
mishap to mar the fun.
