CLASS H ISTG QV We, the seniors of Old Clayton High with our hearts full of hope And with heads lifted high, think back to the day when We first entered schoolg how Miss Gulley would scold Us for breaking a rule! The next year found us with Miss Blackmore. She taught us folk dances by the score. In our third year Miss Martin gave us a thrill, Whenever she and Miss Marshall did the Virginia-Reel! Now that fourth year of school we shall never forget, As we walked in her room we were in a cold sweat. We were jittery all over and our knees were like sauce, And who wouldn't have been, the teacher's name was Miss Crossl Miss Uzzle, a new teacher in Clayton, taught us our fifth. She worked us so hard and we passed with such thrift, That we left Whit and Jimmy lagging behind, But they were so dumb, they didn't seem to mind. In that sixth year, the boys turned their minds from the teachers, And began to realize that girls were really nice creatures. With the help of Miss Smith, we finally pulled through, On up to the seventh, all went but a few. We were greeted, as our teacher Miss Floyd called the roll. And from that day forward She taught self-control. The next year Mrs. Gulley taught in our class. Tho it was hard we managed to pass. We were nervous, excited, and could hardly wait,

To think in a few days we'd be leaving grade eight. Our last days in Grammar would soon be o'er, And we were soon to learn what High held in store. Miss Spears taught us our first year in High. With a teacher like that you were sure to get by. Basketball that year was our greatest aim, With Hollowell and Crutchfield you could not complain. Tho work that year seemed harder than before, Each one of us declared to become a Sophomore. Mr. Crutchfield, our tenth grade teacher was mean Those times when he gave us a thousand word theme! Paying tribute to the Seniors that year was a thrill, But we shall always remember making Alite ill. Miss Gravely came to teach us grade eleven To be a .Tunior was like being in heaven. There was the play and the banquet to give. To Clayton Miss Gravely brought a husband to live! Finally the greatest of all years arrived at last, It's hard to believe it's gone by so fast. With Miss Reel our leader, Young, and Majette, McMillan and Golden were quite a good bet. And with the help of Mr. Welch all along the way, Through our hardships and laughter, through work and through play. Now that tirne has come for us to depart, Sadness dwells within our hearts, This is all we can say of our class up to date, But are hoping our future will be happy and great.
