Pentress. Blacksville. and Democrat schools with Mrs. Lowry as sponsor. Time passed quickly and soon we were eighth graders with the same number of students and the same sponsor. As freshmen we received new members from Core and Brave and boasted a membership of thirty-four. The class officers were: President. Helen Jones: Vice-President. Shirley Hawkins: Secretary. Jo Ann Core: and Treasurer. Ellen Tennant. The opening of school in 1950 saw many newcomers from Wadestown and Daybrook added to our class making a total of 59 members. We were divided into two homerooms with Mrs. Davis as sponsor and Miss Cole as co-sponsor. The class officers were: President. James Austin: Vice-President. Lila Owens: Secretary and Treasurer. Colleen Haught. Our group was proud to have Mary Jo Henderson chosen to be one of the Senior High cheerleaders. We were also proud of the 15 sophomore boys going out for sports. The Junior Class of 1951-1952 saw the eleventh grade homerooms with 51 students moving to the Library and room 28 with the same sponsors. A new addition to our ranks was Glenn Stiles who came from Morgantown. In the fall five girls from the junior class got married and quit school and two others moved to Morgantown. One of our high lights of this year was the Junior Carnival held November 1. 1951. The main features were the Supper Club and the crowning of Arleen Haught. as Miss Clay-Battelle of 1951.
