Senior Class History When the school bell rang on a bright September morning, four years ago, eighteen fearful, but hopeful Freshmen entered the Riddle High School assembly. Many eyes followed us as we found seats among Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. We were curious about our new environment but tried to hide our excitement. We were High School students but little did we realize the knocks a Freshman must take. The members who composed this Freshmen class were, Doris Walker, Annie Walker, Howard Marcum, Glen Cripps, Arthur Bates, Mervelyn Hens-lee, Betty Hausotter, Einred Neet, Benny Nichols, Elzie Ash, Darrell Lincks, William Phillips, Dorothy Yokum, Nelson Howard, Melba Wilson, Hazel Martin, Donald Cornutt, and Roscoe Ball. By the fall of '34, the class had greatly decreased in number, leaving only eleven of the class to help initiate the new Freshmen into our High School. We tried to do our work well and were sad to find so many faces missing when another school year arrived. We were very sorry the others could not enjoy the work we entered into as upper classmen. We are now in our Senior year and we feel that we have accomplished a great deal during the four short years we have been here. We appreciate the advantages we have in the new school house which equals that of other schools, and we are proud to be its first graduating class. We know not what the future of this proud class will be, but we hope that each member will develop into a fine man or woman. The members of the graduating class of ’37 are: Karl Kimmel, Roscoe Ball, William Phillips, Nelson Howard, Dorothy Yokum, Hazel Martin, Melba Wilson, and Darrell Lincks.
