or . rbx v'7 Kenneth Belcher Ronald Breeding Barbara Collier '13 Sydney Bledsoe Mo rtha Brooks CLASS HISTORY ln the sultry heat of August of l954, l55 young, eager, and inexperienced sub-freshmen entered the eighth grade. Numb with excitement and doubt, we sur- veyed that long stairway to the top. We worked like beavers, but played twice as hard. Beorning with pride and importance, we elected our first officers and spon- sors. We were exposed to an array of extracurricular activities, football, basketball, clubs, and social events. There was a slight pause, called summer, and we entered into our freshman year in l956. We were trying very hard to mature, and began thinking more seriously of our studies. We were still happy-go-lucky and some of us were real pills for our teachers but the year ended without a major disaster. The year was l957 and our title was sophomore. This was the year of our first major class event, which was the trip to Hungary Mother's Park. We spent the day swimming, boating and getting scorched, but we will never forget.
