IN Senior (Spar History In the fall of 1947, thirty-three Freshmen invaded the halls of Warrenton High School in quest of higher education. Mere words cannot express how important this new venture made us feel -- that is, until the Sophomores decided to put us in our place by a traditional four-day initiation followed by a dance. Having survived this, we hit the books and busied ourselves with making acquaintances -- both with students and the new ways of the school. We found all this to be interesting as well as educational and the fall of 1948 found us 33 strong. The Sophomore year began by taking our turn with the paddle and initiating the Frosh. After this traditional event was over, we began to participate in the various activities and be- come active members in the organizations sponsored by the Student Body. As Juniors, we enrolled 26 strong. This year we attended school in the new building and being upper-classmen we were very proud. This called for some real work for we had to earn money for the Junior-Senior Bariquet, an annual spring event followed by the Junior Prom. Our treasury was gradually built up by selling candy and ice cream to the Student Body at noons and to the spectators at the ball games. With lots of hard work and the unsurpassed directing of Miss Waite, the play “Willie's Week End was successfully given. A Dutch theme was carried out by the Juniors in the last activity of the year, The Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. At the turn of the century, 28 Seniors pegan the final mile with Miss Waite and Mr. White as their advisors. Some dropped out of school and enlisted in the service. We are proud to have four members of our class who have been together all twelve years of school. This year, again under the very capable advising of Miss Waite, we presented a class play Grandad Meets A Pal. Our second activity was the Christmas Ball whose theme was White Christmas. Now that the final year had come everyone felt a little glad and a little sad over the thought of graduation. With the thought in mind, We owe everything to the faculty and the patience with which they taught us, we graduated from our Alma Mater, Dear Old Warrenton High. 13
