In 1939, forty mystified young children began what they called an excitingadventure. Graduation day seemed far in the future but here it is at last. Onlyseven of the group continued at Zeb Vance to graduate with us, Mary Jane Dick-er son, Clarice Coghill, Mary Earle Rowland, Margie Brown, Sally Jo Coghill,Elliott Brummitt, and Clifton Woodlief. By gaining four along the way we havea grand total of eleven.

To each andevery member one of the most exciting events waswhen we en-tered high school. Under the leadership of Mr. R. T. Smith, we learned manynew 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 heartswe still have many things to remember. Our main enjoyment was serving atthe 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 doinghis part, we elected Mary Earle Rowland as President and Clifton Woodlief asVice-President, Sally Jo Coghill as Secretary and Bobby Roberts as Treasurer.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. Withthe colonial theme and the aid of the sophomores as waiters and waitresses wemade an interesting presentation.

On the night of graduation for the class of 1950, we carried lighted candlesand sang a song just for them.

After eleven years we then entered our senior year. Everyone in schoolknew 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 asGift-orian and Sally Jo Coghill as Historian. Since we had such a small number inour 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 icecream supper on Thursday, September28. In October we had very much fun when we attended the State Fair in Raleigh,North Carolina. November arrived, and on November 17 the seniors gave theplay "Mammy's Lil Wild Rose" before a large appreciative crowd. A few nightslater Miss Nell F. Murphy entertained with a delicious meal, Murphy style, inherhorne. 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 bythe 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 mostof them plan to continue their education in some institution of higher learning.

^eniol Uaus Which, fade

Eleven in number we stand--Seniors, shy, modest, dignified

Asa group, tribe, or band,Attempting always to be unified.

After twelve years, we say our adieus;These years now merely become a memory,Yet they still remain the lovely clues--Of many an endeavoring glory.

Goodbye to the pads, pencils, books,The once laughter filled halls, the gay rooms,The scarred desks, the coat hanger hooks,Now are visualized as a picture of gloom.

Achieving this merit or rewardBy the grace and help of others,Finally obtaining the required standardWith the aid of our friends, parents, and teachers.

Now the wrongs we confessThe deeds were new hopes, ideals, strengthAs we climbed the ladder to success,With many a stumble to cope over this vast length.

Caps and gowns assembled in one line,

Tears, laughter, congratulations everywhereMark graduation night so fine

Revealing happiness too, here and there.

The time is but nighFor the seniors of '51 to sayGoodbye to Zeb Vance High,As we disembark, each his own way.
