Sophomore History The class of 1952 first met in 1946 in the seventh grade with 38 members from Pentress, Bula, Blacksville, and Democrat schools, under the sponsorship of Mr. John C. Clovis who has guided them through their trials and tribulations to reach their present place. In 1947 our class assembled in room 20 again and discovered our group had lost four members. However, we were not daunted and made a good record as eighth graders. As freshmen we received new members from Core and boasted a membership of 41. Freshmen class officers were Barbara Ammons, president; David W'hite, vice president; and Frankie Lee Tennant, secretary and treasurer. The opening of school in 1949 saw a large number added to our ranks as many newcomers from Wadestown and Daybrook joined the class, making a total of 69 members. We were divided into two homerooms with Mr. Clovis, sponsor, and Mr. Bryant, co-sponsor. Homeroom A made up of 33 members of the original sophomore class met in the chemistry room under the sponsorship of Mr. Clovis. Mr. Bryant, co-sponsor, established his homeroom B with 36 pupils in the Vo-ag room. This year our class was well represented in sports as Floyd Foley, James Fletcher, Daniel Statler, Enoch Copeland, Ray White. Jim Chisler, Jim Tennant and Roddie Yost tried out for the varsity football squad and David White was assistant manager of the team. The boys who went our for basketball were Enoch Copeland, Daniel Statler. James Fletcher, Ray White, Jim Tennant, Jim Chisler and Roddie Yost. The sophomore boy's team consisting of Bill Shriver and Robert Barr as guards, Charles White-hill and Joe Mercer as forwards, and Roger Moore as center, took the boys’ class tournament by defeating the seniors, 26-21. One of the big events of the sophomore class was a roller skating party at 12th Street Rink, Fairmont, West Virginia, on March 7, 1950. As sophomores we are now well established in Clay-Battel’e. With pride in our past, we look forward to the future with eager hopes and expectations. —Jack Wise. 52 twenty-three
