Berdine Simon L. White Colors_____________________________Green and White Flower White Rose Motto ___________________“No Steps Backwards History A part of the class of '51 assembled in September. 1945. as seventh graders at Clay-Battelle High School. We then consisted of fifty-two students who came from Pentress Bula. Blacksville. Jakes Run. and Mooresville. We were easy going and willing to take things as they came. In our freshman year our number was so large we were divided into two homerooms with Mrs. Edna Berdine. who had started us as seventh graders, our class sponsor, and Mr. White, our co-sponsor. While we were freshmen we had many parties until the Student Council passed a rule to eliminate most parties, allowing one class party a year. Still as freshmen we were defeated in the Student Council election, but as sophomores we were fortunate in having Howard Shriver elected president and James Sanders, vice-president. Our sophomore year saw our number increased with several students coming from Daybrook and Wadestown. Another homeroom was added and Miss Mary Frances Shafer was another co-sponsor. Howard Shriver lead the class as president with Richard Tuttle, vice president: Bonnie Pyles, secretary: and Patty Yost, treasurer. That year we came to our class party dressed as old mountaineers. The evening was spent playing appropriate games and dancing. Puffing on corn cob pipes and cigars was enjoyed by most everyone during the evening. Nancy Clovis, who hails from Wadestown. represented the sophomore class as princess at the Junior Carnival held in October. Many of our boys were active in sports and played on the basketball, football, and baseball teams, although the boys as well as the girls were defeated in the class tournaments. After summer vacation we came back as a group of energetic juniors. Our number of students had decreased and we were again assembled into two homerooms with Mrs. Berdine as sponsor and Mr. White, co-sponsor. In October we started working on the Hallowe'en Carnival which was to be given on October 31. but because of working conditions it was postponed several times before our goal was finally realized. At the Carnival we were honored to have Bonnie Pyles, a junior, crowned Queen Autumn IV. Another big event, at least to us. was when we received our class rings in December. With much hard work and effort, as well as the co-operation of the faculty wc presented the Junior Minstrel in April. In May we gave the annual Junior and Senior Banquet followed by a Prom later in the evening. Music was provided for round and square dancing by the Variety Boys Orchestra from Waynesburg. Pennsylvania. This same month we were graduated to a class of happy go lucky seniors. When we came back to good old Clay-BatteJe in September of 1950 we were first confronted with giving a repeat performance of the Junior Minstrel. The Battclie District Fair played host for this performance. We all looked forward to October 1 2. when we traveled to Photo-Crafters at Morgantown to get our pictures taken We received them in December This year many of the seniors held offices and memberships in F.H.A.. Quill and Scroll. Thespians. and F.F.A. James Sanders was honored by being chosen captain of the football team in '49 and '50. Many other seniors held positions on the team. Robert Austin and Eileen Fluharty represented Clay-Battelle as candidates for King and Queen of Hearts in the county contest They were privileged to attend a Ball at the Hotel Morgan. Morgantown. West Virginia. Eileen was presented with a corsage of flowers and Robert received a tie pin. The matrimonial bug hit our class taking Edgar Seaman and Loretta Mae Pauley Church out of fchool at the beginning of the school year. Seniors married but intending to graduate are Jane Cummins Copeland Robert Copeland. Helen Stiles Pyle, and Bobette King Gump. Putting forth their greatest effort on the baseball field Shriver. Austin. Sanders. Copeland. Cum mins. Anderson. Tuttle. Core. C. Snider. B. Snyder, and Harker held prominent positions. Seniors were well represented on the basketball court of 50 and '51 by having Austin. Tuttle, and Snyder as guards: Shriver forward; and B. Wilson and S. Wilson, centers. Robert Austin was honored as captain of the gray and blue team. As we leave Clay-Battelle to enter the adult world we hope to have left a better school by the contributions we have made. ten Kdna T.

Let Us Ring the Bells in the Future History As the old saying goes, we feel like a million without the dollars. This, of course, is the Junior Class of '51 who has left its mark on history throughout its years at Clay-Battelle. Our class first assembled at Ciay-Battelle in the year of 1946 with 38 members from Pentress. Bula. Blacksville. and Democrat elementary schools under the sponsorship of iMr. John C. Clovis. In 1947 we again reassembled in room 20 and discovered we had lost four members of our group. However, we finished the eighth grade with the best of spirit and left a good record behind us. As freshmen we received members from Core and from Brave. Pennsylvania which lifted our membership to a grand total of 4 I. Our class officers were President. Barbara Ammons, vice-president. [David White, and secretary and treasurer. Frankie Lee Tennant. At the beginning of school in 1949 our number increased to 69. as new members from Wadestown and Day brook Junior High Schools were added to our class. We were then divided into two homerooms with Mr. Clovis, as sponsor, and Mr. Bryant, as co-sponsor. Our sophomore year proved to be one of importance. David White and Charles Whitehill were chosen president and vice-president of the Student Council In the line of sports the sophomore boys proved successful by taking the class basketball tournament. Sue Ammons was elected as Chapter Sweetheart of FT.A Our class was well represented in the F.F.A. F.H.A.. Band. Glee Club. Thespians, and Football. As sophomores we chose our class colors which are blue and white and our class flower, the red rose. This year. 1950-51 saw the ll-A homeroom moved to room 29 and a new sponsor. Mrs. Vir ginia Bunner. who replaced Mr. John Clovis, our past sponsor, a reserve officer of the Navy w'ho is an inspector-instructor and officer in charge of the Naval Reserve Training Center at Wichita Falls. Texas. Our class is the largest class in school with 61 members. Class officers are President. David White: vice-president. James Tritchler; secretary. Frankie Lee Tennant, and treasurer. Jack Wise. A few of the highlights of this year were receiving the class rings December 5 and sponsoring the Junior Carnival October 31. Some of the main features of the Carnival were The Star-Light Cafe. Pie Contest for the best pie baker (Jane Williams), and our princess. Mary Belle Dean, was crowned as Miss Clay-Battelle of 1950. Later at the F.F.A. banquet Jean Berry was chosen as the Chapter Sweetheart of 1951. The presentation of the Junior play. Goodnight. Ladies.' a three-act comedy, directed by Mrs. Lambert, who replaced Mrs. Bunner who w'as granted a leave of absence this year, was another big event for us. The Juniors are planning for the Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom which is to be held May 23 Having accomplished these things we are now’ looking forward to a bigger and belter 1952 With the help of Mr Bryant and Mrs. Lambert we will do our utmost in keeping our motto.

A three-act play is annually presented by the Thespians Some plays they have given are. Meet A Body’’ in 1947; ‘Nine Girls in 1949. and Meet Me In St. Louis” in 1949. The first president of the Society was Albert Pyles in 1947. Eugene Owen took over in 1948 and Martha Six now presides in the president s chair.
