We approach the day of commencement with twenty-one remaining in our class, having lost some and gained a few as time went on. Those leaving us the first year were Jane Duncan, Marjorie Gillette, Junior Harding, Bill Jackson, Alice Lake, Geneva Warren, Eileen Dykeman, and Retha Wilson. In the spring of ’48 we gave our first party, “The Mardi Gras”. A skit. Special Awards to Special Seniors, and an imitation of a boxing match were given. Our Ad- visors were Mrs. Martha Davis and Mrs. Ilene Lawson. The fall of our sophomore year we were minus Joan Fielder, Betty Onion, Arnold Rossell, Betty Batson, and Marjorie Deets. “Western Rancho” was the name given to our party, and it was carried out in typical cowboy fashion. Mr. Glen Boyle served as our advisor. During the year we lost Norma Schrodt and gained Floyd Singleton. When vye came back to school as juniors, Lola Singleton had left our ranks, and during the year we lost Geraldine Hillman and Paul Sailer. Being juniors we eagerly awaited the arrival of our cless rings. Two parties were given in December by our class. The second one was in the atternoon just before everyone departed for their Christinas Va- cations. “We Shook The Family Tree” was given in April under the direction of Miss- Dcrothy Davis. With the help of Miss Lily Block and Mr. William Searles our prom, “Sea Cruise”, was beautifully carried out. Everyone enjoyed moonlight dancing on the foredeck of the S.S. Trojan As senior Barbara Freeburg Staggs has joined us. We have as our advisors. Mrs. Lee Reem and Mr. William Searles. The initiation of the freshmen was the highlight of the senior party. After much worrying and hard work our play, “Fixin Aunt Fanny”, was a success. The past two years the king for the Harvest Ball has been elected from our class. Keith Wagy received the title last year, and Dick Asquith was our king this year. Whoops! I almost forgot our girls—Darlene Black and Shirley Myers have been our candidates all four years, and Darlene was queen our sophomore year. Everyone is happily looking forward to graduation and our senior trip. We are proud of the fact that we will either be the last to graduate from thefc-ld building or the first to graduate from the new.

SENIOR PARTY Wednesday, September 20, 1950, the day of “freshman initiation' , was a nice day, except for the fact that it was a little muddy. In spite of the mud the freshmen girls arrived at school dressed in men’s overalls (wrong side out and backwards), a man’s shirt (also backwards), a green ribbon, men’s work shoes, hair uncombed, and were pul- ling a toy with a string tied to it. The boys looked equally as well in girl’s skirt and blouse or a dress, one boot, hair pinned up, and make-up, with a baby doll in their arms. On meeting a senior, they had to kneel and recite a verse. On Thursday evening, September 21, 1950, the senior class held their all school party. The party began at eight o’clock with dancing. At intervals during the evening the freshmen did initiation stunts, which consisted of drinking Coke out of a bottle, feed- ing each other while blindfolded, a proposal, and many others. Each of the new teachers also did a stunt. Mr. Jostes was fed an apple while blindfolded, but the apple happened to be ariMnion. Mrs. Reem and a freshman hunted dew-worms, but they didn’t find any because it was too cold. Mr. Reid was not at the party because he was away scouting a football game. JUNIOR PARTY Friday afternoon, December 22, 1950, the Junior class held an all-school Christmas partv. The only decoration was a large decorated Christmas tree.

The study hall was decorated to carry out the theme of moonlight dancing in a garden of roses. The orchestra was placed against the south wall of the room. The big dipper cast a soft glow of light for the musicians.for the evening. The dancers were served refresh- ments under the moon which shone brightly from the stage on to the dance floor. Against the west wall rose trellises made the air fragrant with their scent. At midnight the tired but happy upper classmen and their partners danced to the last waltz of the evening “Stardust”, before leaving the starlit garden. With a fond farewell the dancers bid the prom a goodnight until another year. drlR fDES, GRADE SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: John Dawdy, Jerry Baker, Ronald Weber, Kenny Hiett, CGeorge Bemhart, Hollister Douglass, Richard Luper, Bobby Ray, Johnny Randall, Mr. McDaniels.
