In 1946, we, the senior class of 1958, began our school career at Indian Head School. Our teachers were Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Ruddick, and Mrs. Birchfield. Our principal was Mr. Raymond Faught and our janitor was Mr. John Smith. Some of us were not very eager to start to school, or we surely didn't appear to be because we cried for several days before finally settling down. We attended school at Indian Head for three wonderful years. The next year we went to Bankhead School, and enjoyed the feeling of being nearer to our diplomas. We felt grown-up at Bankhead, because we put on small plays and helped decorate for the Halloween Parties. When we were in the fifth grade, our candidate won the title Harvest Queen. The last year we attended Bankhead was our happiest. Some of our classmates were now mem- bers of the newly organized high school band. That year we also made the annual trip to Mont- gomery. Then came the biggest event of all the years at Bankhead, our graduation exercises. Everyone was excited and wondered what to wear. We now felt older and more important because in the next school term we would begin our high school career. , In 1952 a new phase of our life was opened. We left grammar school, the school we had be- come so accustomed to in six years and began high school at the Cordova High School. This year our class was enlarged by students from the Barney Elementary School. Our teachers for our first year in high school were Mrs. Farris, Mrs. Barton and Mrs. Guthrie. Although we didn't win a place in the sponsor race this first year in high school, we all worked very hard and, enjoyed every minute of it. In the ninth grade we all felt different, because this year many new changes were made. We had all new teachers and we changed classes at the end of each period, just as the upper grades did. In the eleventh grade we all watched the seniors eagerly because we knew we had only one year until we would be seniors. At last the dream we had been striving for became a reality. We were now seniors. This year, for the first time, we won the sponsor race, with Miss Mary Ann Windsor as our representative. Memories of the past twelve years will remain with us, the seniors of nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, for the remainder of our lives. We will especially remember the help and guidance we received from each of our many wonderful teachers. We will also remember the help we re- ceived from the community and from our parents. I am sure many of these memories will follow us into the future and will help us become strong American citizens. Ann I-Iyche Historian
