CLASS HISTORY I never knew time could go so fast. When I was in the first grade I never dreamed that some day I would be on a flight in a super space ship such as this. Doesn ' t seem very long when one thinks back to those good old first days in school. Boy, was I scared of the teachers and of all the kids, too. I can remember that first day when 30 freshmen assembled to start those four years of high school. Remember there were 19 boys and 11 girls. I can remember some of the events of that freshman year as if it were only yester- The first think we did was to elect the following officers for our fresh- man year: Pre sident- -Albert Brown, Vice-President- -Peggy Gordon, Sec- retary- -Mary Ann Kirk, Treasurer--Betty Williams, and our sponsor was Miss Huyette. During our sophomore year the following officers were elected: Presi- dent--Mary Ann Kirk, Vice -Pre sident- -Edwin Cross, Secretary--Peggy Gor- don, Tr easurer -- Virginia Furr and our sponsor was Mrs. Virginia Elgin. We were happy when two of our members, Mary Ann Kirk and Janet Crist were accepted into the Beta Club. We were glad to have Randolph Tate from Hern- don join our class. One of the most active years we had was when we were juniors. Juniors have been in high school long enough to learn their way around, to become veil versed in the traditions of the school and to acquire a sense of responsibility toward maintaining the traditions. Juniors are the cream of the crop. They do things. Important events and happenings of the year were electing the following officers: Mary Ann Kirk--President, Wade Taylor--Vice-President, Maude Mar shall- -Secretary, Peggy Gordon- -Treasurer and Mrs. M.L. Trenary was our sponsor. This year more members of our class were accepted into the Beta Club. They were Maude Marshall, Lawson Cockerille, Edwin Cross, Bobby Jones, Robert Solin and Randolph Tate. We are sorry that six mem- bers of last years class could not be with us this year. On April 14th, we gave the Seniors a Prom. The theme was Spring Time . Most of the members went with the Senior Class to Skyline Caverns on a picnic on Mav 25. 1950. By the time we became Seniors we were getting somewhat air minded . At least that ' s what the other classes thought about us. They thought we had our heads rather high up in the air and had an exaggerated opinion of our- selves. Well, perhaps we did have. After all, we had worked our way to the top. But we ' ll let you in on a secret. Sometimes when we assumed that bragg- adocio air, we didn ' t feel that way. It was just a cover-up because we were a little sad sometimes that we would soon be leaving school. The Senior year has been a year full of study and activity. To start with there was the election of class officers. President- -Mary Ann Kirk, Vice- President- -Lawson Cockerille, Secretary- -Maud Marshall, Treasurer - -Betty Cooper and Mrs. Virginia Elgin was again our sponsor. On November 15th we had our Ring Ceremony. Our principal, Mr. Myers, presented our rings to us. When February arrived the boys of the Senior Class presented a farce entitled Pa Skipton ' s Daughter and it was a success. The girls of the Senior Class presented on Feb. 28, a play entitled Bachelor Bride which was also a success. We were glad to have Harold Thompson from W L join our class. Peggy Gordon, Alvin McClellan, Betty Cooper, Keith Byrne, Betty Utterback, Margaret Shackelford and Harold Thompson became Beta Club members. And now here we are, comfortably seated in this space ship enflight to new horizons. As for me, I think I ' ve earned a good nap, and I ' m going to take it. If we hit a cloud or get close enough to talk to the man in the moon, or get close enough to Mars to see a real good show give me a shake, I don ' t want to miss anything. Historian: Randolph Tate
