' 5 Pnblished By The Student Body Ot Chnrchland High School Phnrchland, Virginia Theodore Colhoon .... Editor-in-Chief Gerry Ann Bios Business Manager Barbara Vavrek Adviser (it Of Tie Old One of the first schools established in this area, Churchland has long been known for the high caliber people who pass through its doors. First established in 1799, this school has been known as the Craney Island School, Sycamore Hill School, and, with the estoblishment of a post office in the late 1850 ' s, it became known as Churchland School. The first class to graduate, the class of 1909, consisted of fourpeople-a far cry indeed from the number of graduates of 1955.

The staff of the ' 55 edition of The Trucker wishes to review life as it has been this first year in the new Churchland High School. Into Tit lew • • t li ilipreciatiin As a means of expressing our appre- ciaHon to the sponsor of the senior class for her untiring efforts on behalf of the school, we, the staff of the 1955 edition of the Trucker , take this opportunity to dedicate this volume to Mrs. S. R. Schultz. Mrs. Schultz is a graduate of Longwood College, having received a B. S. degree from that college, and has been teaching at Churchland since 1951 .

On the next three pages we would like to recognize these new instructors and pay tribute to faculty members who have been at Church land for some time. These people have made life during this year as pleasant as possible and have done their best in teaching us. On these pages we see some of the members of our faculty as they perform several familiar duties. jdiiiDistratioi To our principal, Mr. Frank D. Beck, and our assist-ant principal, Mr. Frank M. Clemons, we would like to take this opportunity and express our apprecia- tion for their very able guidance. FRANK D. BECK Principal Albright College-Reading, Pa., B.
