Let Us Ring the Bells in the Future History As the old saying goes, we feel like a million without the dollars.

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.
