CLASS HISTORY It was a bright September morning in 1941 that our ship anchored at Midland City High School. Some of our mothers were there with us for the first day. Mrs. William Nor- rell was there to greet us. Our class had to be divided and Miss Doris Peebles was glad to help guide our ship. Each summer we came into port for a vacation and each fall we started out with a dif- ferent captain in command. Some of these were: Mrs. Willie Hudson, Mrs. Virgie King. Mrs. Jennie L. Pierce. Mrs. Evans Gissendanner, Mrs. Emma Preston, Mrs. William Jones, Mrs. Spella Woodham, Mrs. Ralph Stevens and Mrs. Nina Lisenby. During the years some of our crew went ashore to join other companies and new mem- bers boarded our ship. Some were: Billy Joe Bass. Billy Ray Raley. Harold Lee Hunter. Larry Turnipseed, Eugene Dease, Delma Ray Matthews, Jo Ann Dykes, Edna Crooms and Betty Adkins. We were pirates, pirates of knowledge. We set out to conquer battles that would en- able us to combat the problems that would come before us. Not very much other than regular school work happened from the second to the sixth grade. We will all remember the sixth grade because of the graduation. We especially remember our voyage of 1947. That was the year we entered high school with Miss Evelyn Kelly as captain. We remember the first few weeks because we were not used to changing classes and having different teachers every forty-five minutes. We crossed the waves of our Junior High years quickly. Before we had realized it we were sailing into our Senior years. Our Junior year we remember so well because we had Mrs. Virginia Andrews back with us. We presented a three act mystery comedy- Aunt Cathy’s Cat. Our class honored the Seniors that year with a banquet in the high school gymnasium. We look back over the twelve years of our voyage and realize that some of the best years of our lives are behind us but a bright horizon has been sighted. We all love Miss Blanch McKay, our senior sponsor, and would like to thank her for her patience with and guidance of us. We feel that our voyage is not finished but just beginning. AGATHA CORBIN
