SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Bye Baby Bunting turned over rapidly in our mothers ' minds as they bundled us up and packed us off to high school for the first time in 1951. Eighth graders? You bet! And so proud we were to at last be a s s o c i a t e d with our sponsor s - -Mr s. Talley, Miss Zoulis, and Mrs. Jones--, the really big people who were upperclassmen, and all the splendors of a teen-ager ' s high school life. We were even more proud, when at the end of that first year we looked back on our accomplishments. We had given a play for the student body, we had a cheerleader in our class, and we even had furnished a member of the League Play cast! One, two, buckle your shoe ran through our mothers ' minds as we returned to Fluco Hi for our Freshman year, for we were still very damp behind our ears. We were reduced to two homerooms that year, monitored by Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Johnson. The buds began to burst and we emerged in 1952 with shining, smiling, rosy faces in the minstrel, the cheerleading squad, prominent club offices, athletics, and so many more things. We were rapidly developing into good, well-rounded school citizens. Ding dong bell sifted around in our mothers ' dazzled thoughts as we marched toward FCHS in 1953, for time was slipping by, and we were beginning our third school term as Sophomores. We were neither great nor small, but we know we were attaining some stature, for the raw edges were beginning to heal and our homerooms were downstairs. Our sponsors were Mrs. Winn and Mr. Costello. Our showing in school activities was even greater that year: our boys and girls were very prominentin athletics, we furnished the newspaper editor, we were active in assembly programs, we presented a class play. Ten o ' clock scholar tumbled over hazily in our mothers ' minds when we began our junior year in 1954, for by now our nursery rhyme days were definitely finished. We weren ' t children any longer, but really cool kids who had a finger in every school activity we could manage. We worked, we studied, we helped our school; we were recog- nized, we were called upon, we were given honors. And as we--the class of ' 56- -returned for our fifth and final year at dear Fluco Hi in the fall of 1955, the songs, rhymes, and stories of our childhood began to echo in our minds. Our days of relatively car efree life were rapidly being left behind. But the accomplishment of our senior year! These are they: Our annual staff was set up at the very beginning of the year to produce this yearbook. They worked furiously during the time that The American Education Week program, the main attraction of which was a play in two acts, was presented. Then Our senior classmate, Jean Parrish, was crowned Homecoming queen. Next came a terrific hilight of the year, which was The Senior Play. Our class proudly presented its fine cast on December 16, 1955 in Time Out for Ginger. We joined forces, producing fine team spirit, a good play, and deeply satisfying memories. This sufficed until we gave our Senior Prom. It was a beautiful evening, full of storybook splendor. All during our senior year we realized that at last, we were really living. But nothing can ever surpass the glory and joy each of us experienced as we donned our caps and gowns, and with the tassel dangling before our eyes, marched down the aisle to receive our diplomas. This was the perfect finale that crowned our high school career s. And truly enough, Georgy Porgy ran away. It was with a most fond farewell that we bade Fluvanna County High School adieu. We go now to seek our fortunes.
