WE, THE Senior Class, began our battle in the field of education in 1930, at West Carrollton. Under the kind and gentle guidance of Miss Wellbaum, Miss Shepard, Miss Martz, and Miss Boling, we struggled through the first two years of our school life. In the second grade we organized a toy band under the direction of Miss Boling. In the third grade we studied birds and organized an Audubon Society. Miss Shaffer was the interesting leader of this club. The most outstanding event of the fourth grade was a hike, which Miss Beal supervised. I am sure none of us will ever forget this hike. In the fifth and sixth grades, we changed classes for the first time, years was graduation into Jr. High. We we SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS AND COUNCIL FIRST ROW — Bottom — Left to Right — Mary Jean Blackburn, Priscilla Solomon, Wilma Bowden. SECOND ROW —Tommy Linville. Lee Michael. Bruce Williams, Jack Miller. ABSENT — Marabelle Cantrell. Our biggest aim during these two s the last class to graduate in the old auditorium. We finally arrived in junior high. By this time we were accustomed to changing classes. In the eighth grade we organized a student council under the leadership of Miss Eck. The seventh and eighth grades prepared us for high school. BVT Se U(VM STUDENTS WISE As soon as we entered high school we were subjected to many new adventures. There were clubs such as Girl Reserves and G. A .A. for the girls, and Hi-Y for the boys. Also, there were many social events for us to attend. Dances and parties took up much of our time. Although we were separated in our freshman and sophomore years, we remained at heart, one class. We tried in every way to raise money which we would need in our junior and senior years. All during our junior year we looked forward to the Junior-Senior Reception when we would bid the seniors goodbye. During this year we gave our Junior Play., Professor, How Could You,? which was a tremendous success. In the spring we ordered our class rings and there was much anxiety until they were delivered. Finally, we are Seniors. We have come to the end of our struggle. This has been the busiest year of all. We chose our pictures, announcements, and name cards, and then, of course, there were the Senior Play and the Operetta, in which many of our fellow-seniors took part. Out of the class that entered the first grade in 1930, only twelve are still attending school here. They are: Mary Jean Blackburn, Marabelle Cantrell, Evelyn Gassert, Evelyn Gustin, Betty Ohler, Reva Oliver, Norma Weldy, Paul Holliday, Junior Linville, Jack Miller, Darwin Robinette, and Charles Thomas. However, many new ones have been added along the way. At the end of our senior year we have forty members who have succeeded in this big task. As a grand finale we had our Senior Prom, which ended the best twelve years of our life. — Shirley Pope — Wilma Bowden THE 1 942 PIRATAN
