Senior Class History August 25, 1949 was a momentous day for Haysi High School. Into its tired old halls trooped 120 rosy-cheeked cherubs, brimming with vitality and energy. The teachers vied with each other for the privilege of working with these youthful savants. The lucky ones were Mrs. Jane Janey, Science; Miss Marjorie Matney, Math.; Arthur Counts, History and Kathleen Cruise, English. Some forty-odd of this group learned so much the first year that they did not report back with the rest of the class when the fall term opened in 1950. There were new faces behind the teacher’s desks this year: Milton Owens, Science; Wayne Ar- rington, Math.; Scott O’Connor, English. Only Mr. Counts had survived the first year’s ordeal. At the end of that year, two of ' the teachers decided that Banking and Dentistry were far more relaxing than H.H.S. and so they left, never to return. Casual- ties so far, five teachers, sixty students. Came August 1951. Again the old cowbell resounded merrily through the halls, and again sixty pairs of feet responded eagerly to its call. By this time, some brave souls had become so acclimated that they ventured across the frail structure which spans the tempestous Russell Fork. Here they sought further knowledge in the realms of Home Ec., and Agriculture, under the capable Miss Browning and Mr. Mullins. Those who were not yet ready to cross over the river” remained on the other side under the tutelage of Miss Janski and Mr. Tarwater (History), Scott (Mutt) O’Connor and Amos (Jeff) Hawkins (English), Mrs. Cain and Mr. Willis (Commercial) and Mr. Robinson (Math.). August 1952 . Juniors! Now nobody but the Seniors could look down on them. It was such fun to direct the eighth graders to the proper room or reprove them for pushing in the halls. They edited The Party Line, they sold magazines to finance the annual banquet and they got a taste of show business” when they presented The Adorable Imp.” Then came the climax of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet. For the first time in the school’s history, the girls came glittering and lovely in their formals. August 1953 . Forty-five dignified (?) Seniors settled in room 3. There was a great deal to do this year and a little hard to settle down to it. In October there were Christmas cards to sell and the Halloween Carnival to sponsor. In December, there were shiny new rings on every finger, school emblem shirts to sell and the Senior play, Mr. Beane From Lima.” There was the photographer to make picmres for the annual, The Thunderbolt,” bigger and better than ever. There is more to come — The Junior-Senior Banquet, the Senior trip, com- mencement and then ?????? I I — 9 —
