Class History We, the Senior class of 1950, looking backward through the long years of our history in school, feel that we really have a great deal of appreciation to express to our parents, our teachers, and to Mr. Welch,who showed so much thoughtfulness and patience in setting the sails for our long voyage in life. The year 1939, we were a group of little children, beginning our struggle up the ladder of school years--twelve long years. Miss Janie Gulley and Miss Massey were our first teachers, the ones who really had a great deal to do with putting our feet on the right path. We will always be grateful to them for the many patient hours they gave to us. We traveled along well in school, and each year found us with a new room and a new teacher, most of whom we liked. We lost Jimmy Gordon in the third grade, but when we reached the fifth, we gained Jimmy Barbour, Whit Bain, and Ruth Sherron, who proved to be grand additions to our class. We climbed our ladder through Grammar School and finally reached grade eight, where we gained Marjorie Ford, Cleo Jones, and Mary Lou Catlett. There we had Mrs. Otho Gulley for a teacher, she broadened our outlook on life and prepared us for high school. The fall of 1947 found a group of fifty very green freshmen entering high school. We had that year, Miss Elizabeth Spears, as our homeroom teacher. By her able assistance, along with the help of Miss Ferrell, Miss Layton, Mr. Crutchfield and Mr. Welch we finally came through. We were very happy our first year in high school to be able to join clubs and take part in other high school activities, which made us feel a little less green . It was with glad hearts that we arrived in the tenth grade, knowing that we had really accomplished something. Although we were not sure exactly what, we decided it was passing Algebra that first year. Miss Godley, a new member of the faculty, was our teacher. She taught us a lot of Chemistry and left such lasting impressions on the girls as how to be good housekeepers. Miss Reel, Mrs. Young, Miss Majette and Mr. Crutch- field also taught us our other very interesting subjects. Our greatest thrill of the tenth grade came when we carried the rose chain for the Seniors at graduation. The expression Jolly Juniors really applied to us in grade eleven. We felt that we had really climbed in high school, although we had lost Whit Bain, Mary Lou Catlett, Cleo Jones and Kenneth Brown, who had moved away to other schools. We also lost Joseph Capps, who left school to join the U. S. Air Force, but Jimmy Gordon came back to be one of us.
