CLASS HISTORY During the last 12 years the horn of plenty has brought us many joys and advantages de- nied others. Shall we look back to that fall of '36 when we got our first taste of school. Our first teachers, Miss Myrtis 1 leath and Miss Ruby Worthy, were helpful and understanding as they lead us, eager but untired students through that first year. Many of our earliest teachers are still helping students get started off on the right foot but we have progressed steadily. In May of '42 Professor Jim Pearson gave to us our diplomas of graduation from the grammar school. We had passed a milestone in our school careers! The following fall, entering a larger and more complicated school, we realized that we had just begun. Misses Edward and Ballard started us on our way toward our graduation from high school. Since then we have struggled toward that goal. When we were Freshmen we were led by Jack Adamson. Then we looked at the graduating Seniors with respect and awe. The following fall our ranks swelled as we were joined by the graduations from the Russell and Bevelle Jr. High Schools. Also the incoming transfers joined us. That year we began to take an active part in the school affairs. Some of us lettered in football, others in basketball. That year Billy Mitchem presided at our class meetings. The next year Reuben King was at our helm. As Juniors some joined the D. O. Club, others were tapped for entrance into the Beta Club. That year we honored the gradu- ating Seniors at the Jr.-Sr. Dance. In '48 Jimmy Neighbors efficiently led us and it was we who were honored at the Jr.-Sr. Dance. Yes, when Mr. Myer handed us our “sheep- skins we stopped and thought how the horn of plenty had brought us so much good fortune. But we could pause for only a moment to look back over those wonderful school days as we pushed on toward greener pastures.” By: John Weathers Class Historian
