Out of this twenty-six there are only two members of the original class begining in 1933. In the year 1941, approximately sixteen students from Pulaski Pike anil eight from Hurricane schools entered Riverton. Our president of the Jr. Ill class was Carolyn Thornton, Sr. I Nelle Bailes, Sr. II Norma Hollingsworth Wallace, and in our Senior year is Mildred Preston. Many of our girls have dropped out in Senior High and mar- ried. Most of our boys have entered the armed services. The boys who are gone are; Roy Blair and James Myers of the Army, Jim Tipton of the Marines, Jack Carter of the Air Force James Price of the Navy, and last to leave was Thomas Berry of the Army. We were sorry they could not remain with us until graduation, but are proud that they were able to fight for the United States. In the school activities, we have Jack Carter, who won first place in the F.F.A. Chapter speaking contest, in 1943. From the school he went to the district, won first in the District Quarter- ly and lost in the Semi-Finals. In the year 1944, Jack again won first place in the F. F. A. Chapter speaking contest, but lost in the District Contest. We have had many happy High School days and are sorry they are drawing to a close. o «Mss» r. ■ihtM0!xnm srrtf -- •U, j. , I , t | '« 3 , P Pfij TSHSsS vtS i-m ■ - ■ .. any,.
