Eleven cf its present members: Jane Seeders, Delores Smith, Elizabeth Wagoner, Norma Jean Evans, Thelma Bosley, Helen Pyles, Carl Wagoner, Ray Pyles, Willie Bauer, Elwood Wagoner. and Richard May, entered the Fort Ashby Grade School under the ex- cellent guidance of Miss Etta Dunn. Our progress was satisfactory in the second grade with Miss Martin as captain of our ship of state. This same year Franklin Dennison cast his lot with our group. Our destiny in the third grade was guided by Miss Bolen, whose instruction served immeasurably in preparing us for further exploits in the realm of learning. Though the fourth year was marked by unsettled conditions, Miss Beckman, Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. Kettle, and Mrs. Oates served as our teachers and advisors and prepared us for the fifth year of sojourn in the sphere of learning. When we completed the fifth and sixth grades, we brought our early attempts in the field of learning to a close. We were then prepared to begin our itinerary into new and yet more exacting experiences in this fundamental process of education. We also felt more secure now that we were bolstered by the presence of a new member, our popular Leroy Wagoner. When our small group moved into the seventh grade, our number was increased by new members from Pattersons Creek and Short Gap. It was with a great deal of pleasure we welcomed George Blauch, Jack Brinkman, Eileen Isner, Johnny Wyer, Inez Cox, Sally Hershberger, Frances Anderson, Annabel Miner, Lloyd Welker, and Glenn Long. Larry Hepner, who had moved from Columbus, Ohio, joined us also. Our confidence became greater as we thought of the proverb, “safety in numbers.” In the eig hth grade our fate was in the hands of Mr. Small, who skill- fully delivered us into “The Promised Land,” the ninth grade. While we camped here for a year, we were joined by two new members, Richard Weese, who came from Cresaptown, and Eloise Shipman, from Piedmont. {| In the tenth grade we were under the capable leadership of Mr. Marker, ( who made us aware of the more important aspects of our school career. At this point, Mary Ann May joined us in our eager pursuit of learning. The challenge of learning along with its importance in our every day life became ever greater as we took the stepping stone toward entering the third year of high school. This Junior year proved to be a busy one. However, with the help and advice of our advisors, Miss Haines and Mr. Small, it proved to be a great success. A class play, the annual Junior-Senior prom, and a number of lesser events were presented by our class. As we bring this episode in our lives to a close, we are conscious of the fact that in many ways we have failed to take advantage of the many opportunities with which we were presented. Nevertheless, we know that any success we might enjoy in later years will depend largely upon the foundation we have been building for ourselves during our high school years. May the next Senior Class, and those which follow, benefit from our mistakes and prove to the world that Fort Ashby High School is one of the “best mills for grinding out good citizens” for the nation and for the world. ye Class Will Elwood Wagoner wills his ability to get traffic tickets to Raymond Anderson. Norma Jean Evans leaves her diet to Marie Pyles. Lloyd Welker leaves his innocent look to Victor Decker. Richard May hands over his love for school to Gilbert Myers. Thelma Bosley leaves her ability to get along with teachers to Jack Frankland. George Blauch wills his temper to John Dayton. Inez Cox leaves her power to attract boys to Dorothy O’Brien. Carl Wagoner leaves his Toni to Bunny Martin. Annabel Miner wills half of her weight to Audrey Wagoner. Helen Pyles leaves her meekness to Beverly Shirley. Leroy Wagoner wills his friendliness to Gerald Weese. Eloise Shipman leaves her ability to talk to Mary Dennison. Willie Bauer leaves his smart remarks to Johnny Haines. Elizabeth Wagoner leaves her glamour girl] figure to Ruth Rexrode. Ray Pyles leaves his bashfulness with girls to Sonny Twigg. Bileen Isner leaves her fair complexion to Wilma Twigg. Jack Brinkman wills his love for Jean Haines to Leroy Boore. Frances Anderson wills her steady dating to Janet Lechliter. Larry Hepner leaves his timidness to Richard Lyons. Mary Ann May. leaves her correct posture to Esther Lechliter. Richard Weese leaves his absence from school to Billy Self. Jane Seeders leaves her studious ways to Doris Long. Glen Long wills part of his height to Randy Davis. Sally Hershberger leaves her peroxide bottle to Marjorie Logsdon. Carl Wyer wills his quietness to Billy Senn. Delores Smith leaves her cheerleading career to Colleen Wyer. Franklin Dennison leaves his absent-mindness to Kay Elder. Prophecy Let us view the Senior Class of 50 through the eyes of Alice. As we look into the mirror of the future we find that it is about 1960. Willie Bauer is now a Sergeant in the National Guard. He has just been home on a vacation and is now returning to his headquarters in New York and who is the airline reservationist? Why none other than Frances Anderson, and Willie was in such a hurry he didn’t even ask if she were married. Sally Hershberger and Annabel Miner whose ambition was to get married and be housewives are still looking for a man. Fort Ashby is quite a city now, Carl Wyer is owner and manager of the “Ritz” and Helen Pyles is his bookkeeper and famous soprano singer. Look what the Senior Class of ’50 brought forth, the Romeos, Lloyd Welker and Glen Long, are undertakers and Elizabeth Wagoner is their assistant mortician. Norma Evans, who took up the nursing course at Memorial Hospital, is a graduate nurse and works in the hospital. No wonder Glen and Lloyd have plenty of business. Elwood Wagoner is a truck driver, but has a date with Eunice Watts, now they are down at “Pete’s Confectionery” owned and managed by Leroy Wagoner. Thelma Bosley has entered and graduated from Hastern Bible Insti- tute and is working with young people. Richard May is a musician and electrician but he isn’t bothered with either tonight. He has a car of his own but just ran it over the bank and Carl Wagoner one of Fort Ashby’s best mechanics is taking care of this situation. Larry Hepner and George Blauch are both prosperous farmers and live near Fort Ashby. That studious Jane Seeders is now trying to make other people stud- ious, she is a school teacher. Franklin Dennison is a chemist and a cartoonist on the side. Fort Ashby now has its own shoe store. Jack Brinkman is owner and manager while Mary Ann May is his business manager and Eloise Ship- man is his secretary. And me, oh, I just took a few minutes to look in the mirror of the future of our Senior Class before I sail for South America. LF, {7 ae as AL uy T L.

Senior Basketball Season The Fort Ashby Eagles ended the 1949-50 season with a record of 11 wins and 10 losses. This record is more impressive considering the fact that four of the losses were by one point each, and seven were lost by a margin of four or less points.

After drawing a bye in the opening round, they knocked cff the Potomac Valley Conference Champions, the highly fav- ored Ridgeley High Blackhawks, by the score of 60-42. On the next and last night of the contest, the Eagles fell prey to the Lions of Pied- mont, who won the tournament, thus placing the Eagles in the runner- ap position, Fort Ashby was given a trophy for winning second place in the tcurnament, and each team member received a silver medal. Gecrge Blauch, the high scoring forward of the team, brought honors to the school by being selected on the first string of the All Tournament team, as well as a starting position on the All P. V. C. squad. Blauch was awarded a trophy for the former distinction. We are looking forward to an even better year next season with the return. cf everyone except Blauch. Dayton, Dohrman, Martin, and Brels- ford should provide an excellent start for next season’s team. High scoring honors of the year went to the hard playing forward, George Blauch, who fired 226 points through the baskets this season. Runner-up honers went to our center, John Dayton, who posted a total of 189 points on the scoreboard.
