Jie Swing eniom 0 52 lt was a lovely day in September six years ago when we seniors started out on a cruise which was going to take us a few years to complete. We landed at Port Ceredo-Kenova and cast our anchors for a permanent hold. After we came ashore, we began an attack on the first little stepping stone to success. Upon this stone was inscribed, Reserved for Seventh Graders. After a hard struggle of getting in the right ports of entry, or classes, we fought with all our might to win the beginning battle and at the end of the term we came out the victors. The next adventure took us another step high- er-the eighth grade-and we were to stay until the following summer vacation. Since we were going to spend the greater portion of time here, we sailed around and found that we were in need of some cheerleaders to cheer us through junior high school. We started a campaign and Hazel McQuinn, Emily Wheeler, and Patty Hughes were the winners. Later on, as months went by, we discovered a person named Carol Workman had been chosen majorette and she began active duty for the band. Having received a promotion, we were now freshmen. lt was revealed that a stout rope was needed to hold the Varsity football and basketball teams together, thus the George, Bocook brand was chosen. On a certain trip we saw a sign which read, Senior High Cheerleaders Wanted, so we disembarked long enough to enter a few of our sailorettes in the contest and Lois Williams and Hazel McQuinn came out victorious. Con- tinuing our journey, we saw two small, Majorette lslands that were in need of a leader, so here we left Dorval Dorsey and Donna Billups to start marching colonies. The flag kept flying higher until it reached the sophomore mast. To hold it there, we gave two idle girls the job of keeping it cheerful, They were Patty Hughes and Marlene Wilson lByardl. During the year, -the Varsity had to have new battleships to replace those out of commission 24 .A and, of course, ours were the best so we shipped several of them, with their new coats of armor, to the Ceredo-Kenova Wayne Wonders. Since we had reached the junior year, we felt we were very near to the top and we began taking part in the various activities. We produced a play-bomb entitled, Cash and Carrie. We also attended our first minor war, the Thespian Banquet. Later we attended a bigger one which was the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Seniors of 51 were the guests. Everyone seemed to enjoy this because it was what they had been fighting for. We were now traveling full speed ahead at the rate of six knots for we were seniors. Fortu- nately there was room enough aboard for the seventy-three of us who had weathered the storm. The sailors and sailorettes of the senior class owe a special vote of thanks to the crewmen who spurred them through the highest waves. They are: Howard Jackson, President, Larry Cray- craft, Vice-President, Lois Williams, Secretary, Clyde Billups,'Treasurer, Marion Hatten, His- torian, and Ada Belle Akers, Chaplain. We would especially like to thank our sponsors, Miss Fay Jean Stewart and Mrs. Cleo P. Wellman. The football team has done a wonderful job winning seven games this season. Also some of the lightning destroyers did such a good job that they were named on the All State team. They are: Clyde Billups, third team on All State, George Bocook, Particular Honorable Mention, and Dal- las Harper, Honorable Mention. These boys were also selected on the All South-Western Confer- ence. This year we were the guests of honor at the Junior-Senior Banquet, which was held at the Hotel Frederick in Huntington. As the ceremonies of commencement come to an end and each one chooses his own vocation- canoe, may we always remember our motto, Find a Way or Make One.
