Class History The discovery of the class of 1954 was an accident. Four years ago, early one morning on the third of September, 1950, the faculty of the Coleridge High School were strolling aimlessly through the corridors, chattering about the just- ended vacation and wondering whether there would be any startling changes in their work during the coming year. Suddenly they caught a glimpse of something new and strange. Just in- side the front door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, were the members of what became the Freshman class of 1950. This group had a mix- ture of pride and delight having reached their goal—High School. In this group, there were twelve girls and eighteen boys. As Freshmen we had a new pupil as our classmate, Charlie Tyson. Out of our class Marshall Hayes, Frances Haitt, Charlie Tyson, Johnny Garner, James McNeil, Eulalia Cobb, John Smith, and Boyd Wright left us. Mr. Barker, as our homeroom teacher, safely led us through our Freshman year. The next year found us in the tenth grade, Sophomores. This year, we found we had lost Lillie Mae Kidd, Marie Cain, Betty Hayes and Lacy Phillips from the previous year. Virginia Lowdermilk and Patsy Smith were initiated into the Beta Club. The Junior Class selected Virginia Lowdermilk, Arlene Cra- ven and Patsy Brown to serve as waitresses at the Junior-Senior Banquet. Class officers were President, Virginia Lowdermilk; Vice-President, Arlene Craven; Secretary, Bobby Gibson; Treasurer, Marie Cain. Under the leadership of our homeroom teacher, Mrs. Barker, we successfully completed our year as Sopho- mores. We returned to the halls of knowledge as Juniors in the fall of 1952. We had a new classmate this year, Martha Ervin, who again left us in the spring. Our projects to raise money for the Junior-Senior Banquet were selling candy and a supper. Arlene Craven, Attress Kidd, Russell Cox, and Jimmy Fowler were taken into the Beta Club. Our class officers were President, Attress Kidd; Vice- President, Arlene Craven; Treasurer, Patsy Smith; Secretary, Bobby Gib- son. Virginia Lowdermilk, Attress Kidd, Arlene Craven, Jimmy Fowler, Russell Cox, and Eddie Lee Whitehead were chosen as Marshals. We graciously shared the room and our homeroom teacher, Mr. Barker, with the Seniors. Virginia Lowdermilk, Attress Kidd, Russell Cox and Jimmy Fowler attended the Beta convention in Asheville. Seniors! At last ! It has been a long hard road. Was it worth it? You can bet your life it was! We are getting ready for the best year yet. This year our class officers are Floyd Williamson, President; Vice President, Ray Moon; Secre- tary,Norma Teague; Treasurer, Patsy Smith. Patsy Brown left us this year. We are happy to have Mrs. Hodgin as our homeroom teacher this, our last year. The Seniors are looking forward to the big day—Graduation. We shall be glad to be graduating ,but sad at the thought of leaving our friends, our classmates, and our school. ATTRESS KIDD Historian
