History The year of 1938 will go down in history for two events: namely, the Munich agreement, and the beginning of what is now the Senior Class’ conquest of learning. 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
