Cladd .Hia tory Well, we're tlu'ough! Yes, twelve long years of hard work and loads of fun, twelve years of growth and development in the art of right living. All our ups and downs, our pleasant and unpleasant experiences, and our many memories go to make up those twelve years. It was in the Fall of 1947 that a group of nervous, bewildered boys and girls entered high school. After the bottom fell out of our anticipations for an easy life, we adjusted ourselves to the change in subjects, classes, teachers, and to the new world of experience--HIGH SCHOOL. We chose Joe Donald Stowe as our leader for this year. Under the gulchnce of Mr. Hammack and Miss Rhyne, our home room teachers, we learned how to understand our fellow classmates and how to make new friends. As we progressed to the Sophomore year we had a new home room teacher, Miss Katherine Gaston. This year, though, we felt more at home in high school. Although we worked very hard at our studies, we had plenty of fun and enjoyed this year tremendously. As we entered the Junior year, we found many new difficulties, as well as the old ones, facing us. Amidst all our studies we succeeded in presenting a gloric us Halloween Carnival and Junior-Senior Banquet. With the aid of Miss Dellinger, we made our Junior year successful--a year that we can look back on proudly. Finally in September of 1950, we had reached the pinnacle of our High School career. It was hard to believe that we--once mere freshmen--were now proud, haughty Seniors. We chose Louise Martin as our President for this year. With some difficulty we cleared our brains and began another year's work. CThis year, too, we felt the loss of Mr. Hammack, our faithful teacher and friend. J As all Seniors do, we faced the problem of publishing an annual. We chose Willard Moody as editor and a faithful group to assist him. After a long period of antici- ption and excitement, the dayfinally came when we were to get our class rings. tYes, you could see the joy beaming in our faces that day. J We felt that we were FULL-FLEDGED Seniors now that we had our rings. They still remind us of our many V pleasant experiences. With a great deal of pleasure we look back on these things. Their memories will linger on. Let us nowlook forwardg for, although our school days are finished and our preparation is over, life is just beginning. Those fundamentals of right living taught us by the perseverance and patience of our teachers will remain with us beyond graduation day. As we, the Seniors of 1951, finish our short stay here, we take with us many happy memories. Howard Teague Page Fifteen
