Mrs. Hodges soon put us at ease and we began to get acquainted. As the years rolled by many of the thirty-six left us, but we were also joined by Patty Pearson and Joan Shockley in the second grade; John Wesley Elliott in the third, and Polly Scott in the fourth. Louise Oliff, Barbara Heflin, and Doris Packett were transferred from Newland here in the seventh grade. Each year we became more and more experienced and our world became bigger and bigger. Each of us holds our own memories of those first seven years and of our teachers, who so willingly gave of their time and knowledge to guide us through the years. Remember them? Miss Helen (Mrs. Hodges); Mrs. Seward, Miss Louise Crabbe, Mrs. Gouldin, Mrs. Snyder and Miss Lansdal Booth. Well, the longest years were behind us and after having a delightful summer holiday we re¬ turned. To become freshmen? Nol We became guinea pigs. We were given the privilege of be¬ coming the first eighth grade at Warsaw High School. Mrs. Lowery, our home room teacher, heard so much groaning and grumbling that she has never wanted to go through the torture of having us again. The girls will always remember their agriculture class and Mr. Seward ' s jokes, and the boys will ever cherish the memories of ironing clothes, dusting furniture and scrubbing the floors of the home economics building. In September 1952, we launched upon our high school career with the great ambition of be¬ coming seniors. Quite a few things happened our freshman year, from skunks being put under the school to John Lewis sticking his head through a window pane. A most exciting event during this year was winning the championship in baseball on May 22. We might not have been famous for brains but we were building a reputation for brawn. Time passed quickly and we soon found ourselves sophomores. We again won the champion¬ ship baseball game, with Omo as our star pitcher. This year was full of fun and excitement. Because there were no juniors to give the seniors their banquet, we took over under the guidance of our home room teacher, Mrs. Richard Hall. We had almost as much fun preparing for it as we did attending it. We completed another year, and now we were juniors in high school. Mrs. Francis Delano was our home room teacher that year and also served as letter carrier for Barbara. We all had a lovely time at our class picnic and spring dance. Our most thrilling day, however, came toward the end of the year; it was the day we ordered our class rings, wondering if the day would ever come when we would be wearing them. Well, the time was here. We were now SENIORS, the oldest class in school Our rings were here and we were proudly wearing them. We gave our senior play Lena Rivers on November 18. We found dramatic talent where no one suspected its presence. We enjoyed all of our S.C. A. dances and especially our junior-senior banquet. The juniors did an excellent job and we are grateful to them for giving us such a memorable evening. Graduation is here at last, and full of pride and dignity we are ready to assume our duties in the great world beyond the environs we have enjoyed for twelve years. Now, in closing, we, the Senior Class, would like to express our gratitude to all the teachers who have made possible our graduation. As each of us part and go our separate ways, we will always think of our high school days as ones filled with most pleasant memories. 8 SC HOC SENIORS ROBERT BRUCE BELFIELD S. C.

I was just getting ready to take a pill for my supper when I remem¬ bered that it was time for me to enter my rocket ship, the Casbar, and go back to the rush and fuss of life on the planet earth. As I enter the earth ' s atmosphere the helicopter traffic has conjested. By my watch it is now 27 O ' clock, about 6:30 earth time. I have arrived just in time for the reunion of the Seniors of 56 . As I enter the ballroom, I am greeted by the Honorable Robert Schools and his wife, the former Miss Laura Lewis. Bobby says he’s scared stiff as he has never presided over a meet¬ ing before. Glancing about the room I see almost all of my classmates. All of them seem to have prospered from studying so laboriously at Warsaw High School as each of the men are sporting bay win¬ dows. The former Joyce Scott says she doesn ' t mind a bit because the fatter they get the more girdles she can sell. I am told she used her first million dollars to buy slaughter houses in Chicago for her husband, so that he could see to it that the Warsaw High School lunch program would always have a fresh supply of beef on hand. As we begin to be seated for our meal, this wild crash occurs. I am informed that J. A. Chris¬ topher and his third wife, the former Barbara Eisenhower, have just crawled out of his hot rod which just won the Virginia Derby for the purse of fifty thousand dollars. J. A. reports that he got his skill from riding around with Mary Meree, Marietta and myself after senior play rehearsals. Aside from his racing he is president of Wonder Foods Inc. , a chain store throughout the planet earth. He and Frank Yeatmen, president of the planet earth, have agreed to join forces and split profits 50-30 if Frank will remove all traffic laws. Frank says it ' s wonderful to be the boss and not have someone picking on him all the time. Mr. and Mrs. files Scates seem very happy. Mrs. Scares is the alias hep cat Mary Meree Davis, and with them are their nine children that compose the Porridge Pot baseball team. Jiles has just bought Stratford Hall for the brood and for Mary Meree to train horses, so that she can support him. Joan Shockley Whittaker, the first woman ambassador to Farmers Fork, is chatting with the world heavyweight champ Muscles Delano. He has just defeated Slugger John Lewis Elliott. I hear the Slugger is taking up crocheting. As you might notice, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Belfield appear mighty happy now that Bruce has retired as Commander in Chief of the army and navy. I understand they now have fifteen grand¬ children to occupy their leisure time. John Wesley Elliott, architectural engineer, has just returned from Mercury, where he has designed the latest thing in skyscrapers. John says he knew that getting Mr. Hodges to work his geom¬ etry would pay off in the long run. It seems that the Governor of the United States, William Omohundro, has just returned from the world series played on Jupiter. He coaches the Warsaw Greenhorns as a hobby. As for a wife, I don ' t believe he has settled for any yet - same old Omol Marietta Peyton, Head Supervisor of the Nurses Institute of Minor Ailments, has just returned from Reno again where she has obtained her sixth divorce from none other than A. G. W. Christopher, Jr. It seems that Marietta hasn ' t changed over the years. She still can ' t resist the brutes. Polly Scott, now one of James Hinson ' s models here in Warsaw, capital of the fashion world, is going to entertain us at her penthouse apartment on Naylors Avenue. Polly says the exercise she took at activity period did wonders to her figure. Our dinner was served by none other than Dr. William Northern, who has studied cooking ex¬ tensively so he can answer the 264 million dollar jackpot. Billy still never goes for chicken feed. As we enter Polly ' s apartment we are greeted by the mayor of Haynesville, Leonard Bryant. He is leading his band and the newly organized Bootleggers Knights who are singing very reverently It Is No Secret What the Cocktails and the Years Can Do. I couldn’t resist a peek at the faculty table after that one. It ' s a good thing that Dr. Patty Pearson and Dr. Ann Marks Morris are here so they can look after the health of their classmates. I imagine that we are going to supply them with quite a few visits for headache capsules due to drinking Hadacol and Coca-Cola at this reunion. Well, it ' s now 5:30 in the morning and as each of us set out for our separate destinations the sky is conjested again. So into the Casbar and back to peace and quiet on Mars. Finis 1 3 LAST WILL AO TESTAMENT We, the members of the Senior Class of Warsaw High School, county of Richmond, state of Virginia, in the year of our Lord, Nineteen hundred fifty-six, being sane of mind and sound of body, do make and declare this our last will and testament. To our beloved principal we leave our love and devotion and many hours of leisure after we are gone. To our teachers we leave the lasting memories of the many trials and tribulations we have caused them. BILLY NORTHERN wills his geometry tests, government questions and short naps in class to John Tayloe, who, he believes, will prosper from them. BARBARA HEFLIN wills her trips to Richmond, her corny jokes, and her ability to find dark, gruesome parking places to Gloria Garnett and Leslie Wilkins. BILLY OMOHUNDRO leaves his way of attracting all the girls and his athletic ability on the baseball diamond to Bladen Scott. JOAN SHOCKLEY wills her passing infatuations with all the boys to Margie Pitts and Doris Packett. JOHN WESLEY ELLIOTT leaves his ability in soccer ball and his brilliance in government class to Bobby Balderson. PATTY PEARSON leaves her position as editor of the Bulldog ' s Bark to Ann Oliver. BOBBY SCHOOLS wills his blond curly hair to Donald Bowen in hopes he will always keep his Toni well in trim. MARY MEREE DAVIS leaves her athletic ability on the softball diamond and basketball court to Betty Jean Davis and Virginia Beale Brooks. JUNIOR YEATMAN leaves his gun and dogs to Wilmot Bryant and hopes that he may have more success in his DEAR hunting than he has had with Betty Jean. ANN MARKS wills her faithful church attendance and her willingness to help others to Vern? Lee Jenkins and Elenora Scates. BRUCE BELFIELD leaves his position in the army reserve and his romantic impulses to Julian Garland. JOYCE SCOTT leaves her vitamin pills and Hadacol to Phyliss Franklin, Harriette Harper, and Alice King, in hopes they will grow to her stature. DEAN DELANO wills his muscular build and his coy remarks to Donald Pierce. MARIETTA PEYTON wills her undecided choice of male friends to Ida Ann Smith and Ann Balderson. JOHN LEWIS ELLIOTT leaves his ten ganon felt hat to Chuck Shriner in hopes it will afford him protection from those junior girls. POLLY SCOTT wills her tall and slim figure to Brenda Withers. J. A. CHRISTOPHER leaves his athletic ability on the basketball court and baseb all diamond to Kenneth France. LEONARD BYRANT leaves his bus to Leslie Wilkins providing he keeps up the tradition of getting his riders to school after the first period. The Senior Class leave their battered up erasers, and teachers, and the good ole times they had at Warsaw High School to the on-coming classes. 14 TOP ROW: Anne Bal- derson, Bobby Balder- son, Donald Bowen, Va.
