September, l95O. Now, as the graduating class of the ele- mentary grades, we look back at those little first graders. Goodness, were we ever that scared and snaggled toothed? We're eagerly awaiting our entrance into high school. September, 1951, We are now the holders of that ever so famous title Green Freshmen. With our teachers Fleming, Ovvnby,and Hicks, we are taking our places among the many different activities. We hope to show Clayton High what we can do. This year Mr. Stephens is our homeroom sponsor, as well as our math teacher, His words, is that not so ring in our ears. Mr, Waters comes to us as the new prin- cipal of Clayton High, filling the place of Mr. O. B, Welch. September, 1952. Our Sophomore year, Miss Mac, The Daisy Chain,all combined into one make a thrilling memory for us to treasure. September, 1953. We are now nearing the end of our journey with Miss Taylor, our homeroom teacher, and the others, Braswell and Patterson, who we think are destined to have a little trouble with us, a happy-go-lucky group. Our Jun- ior Play, Hillbilly Weddin, and the Negro Minstre1 are surely grand experiences in this school year, September, 1954. Our Senior Year is the most welcome and busiestyear of all. The Senior Play, Father Knows Best g the '55 Annual, ordering graduation invitations, and caps and gowns add to our excitement, The biggest problem of all, raising money to go to Washington, includes lots of hard work, selling Christmas cards and preparing turkey suppers, with Mrs, Anderson, our senior sponsor willing to help us, Yes, at last we, the Seniors of '55, reach our peak of success and are ready to seek and to find a higher goal. 1 m fr
