After researching existing Junior Assembly programs in Richmond, Virginia and Greenville, North Carolina, Mrs. Thomas E. Wilson, mother of Beverly Sumner, began the Junior Assembly of Rock Hill in 1967. While living in Richmond, Mrs. Wilson had belonged to a dance club which offered ballroom dance instruction with emphasis on social graces. Mrs. Wilson later helped organize similar Junior Assemblies in Shelby and Spartanburg. Upon Mrs. Wilson’s retirement in 1989, she encouraged her daughter, Beverly, and Ellen Maxwell to “carry on their family tradition.” The Junior Assembly of Gastonia continues in its twenty - second year this tradition of wholesome dance instruction, social etiquette and supervised entertainment for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
