Russell and Leslie should have their greatest year with battlefield next year--their senior year, Judson Tyler improved with the season and lO0ked very good in the last two games, He should be a regular next year, On the line Robert Hierholzer was great when the chips were down, The last game of the year showed everyone what a great heart Robert has for a good hard game of football, Tommy Gentry came along nicely and should be a defensive standout next year, The entire squad is congratulated for its fine performances and hard playing throughout the season, You have been a credit to your school, ,-K, 5- W., ,J 'gvuia' ' .,,r.,i., R .x. 3' iv-,J M - -.V . x '- A , N .t..,,-,W Ln - .4 as ' ffm + V 9 .I W .

et tnt By the trme we reached the second vrade we were ready for more learntng Nlrss Edmondson taught us spelltng and just a taste of artthm trc Durtng thts year we welcom d lxermrth Xlarshall to our class On entermg the thrrd grade Vlrss Dulaney came to our ard We wrll always remember because we learned how to rrultrplv and drvrde It was hard at frrst but we frnally succeeded and were promoted to the fourth grade In the fourth grade Mrs Xleadow was on teacher We all remember thts class because Mrs Meadow s husband was mg htm almost as much as she drd It was also durrng thts year that VIIOSI of us partrcrpated rn an operetta whtch we enjoyed very much We were very glad to welcome Nancy Dodson and Patsy Rhod to our class Nlrs Wtllm ms was ready for us tn the ftfth grade She made us do a lot of studyrng but we drdn t mtnd because we were getttng use to rt by thts trme We made a booklet on our State whrch Mrs Wrlltam satd she would keep for us unttl we gill older We also drew a lot of maps for geography Ann Goode was welcomed tnto our class that year Mrs Glover was our srxth grade teacher She wasn t very srrtct wrth us and therefore I am afratd we gave her a lrttle trouble but we had fun After all that hard work rn tlte ftfth grade rt was good to have som ltbertrcs agaln Al though we vt re mrschrevrous we must have sfudted a lrrtle too beeause we were all promoted to the seventh grade We remember the seventh grade because that was tlte year we made so many trrps We vrstted many places of rnter est 111 Washrngton D C such as the Museums The Caprtol Lrbrary of Congress etc We also attended a m etrng of the General Assembly rn Rtchrnond Vtrgrma Thts was also the year that we danced the Mtnuet as our part of the May Day exerctses lt was our ftrst expertence ln danctng and we really tnought we were great The next day we were ready for an audttron on televtstonl We also rem mber very clearly the surprrse btrthday party that we gave our teacher Mrs Dunham Grey Brrdsong jorned our class that year Well we ftnally made tt tnto hrgh school After all these years of studytng behtnd us we felt we knew everythtng Ltttle dtd we know how much more there was yet to be learned We now had a btgger job not only to learn but to set a good examole for the younger boys and gtrls behrnd us Our home room teacher Mrs l-rances Wrlltams got us off to a good start but we also want to remember Mr Manson who taught us tn the last semester tn the absence of Mrs Wrlltams Thts year Harvey Meredrth Robert Hrerholzer and Wtll Long jotned us We were agatn fortunate to have Mr Manson as our home room teacher tn our Sophomore year It was thts year we took part rn athletrcs We enjoyed playrng sports for tt was that year that our boys helped to wtn the Dtstrtct D Group III champtonshtp tn baseball and went undefeated rn football Claude Smtth Nancy Jeter Margaret Parseghtan and Kermrt Groome were welcomed tnto our class that year We were then promoted to the tenth grade and were glad

became dtgnrfred Senrors Our last year of school has been the one we wtll remember best We have trted to crowd so many wonderful thtngs tnto such a short pertod Our Senror Play Grandma s Best Years wrth such a grand cast had to be a success and was Mrs Eubank wtll never be forgotten for her help on thts We also had many partres and a wtener roast whtch left us wtth delrghtful memorres Cectle Alexander Joyce Beadles Charles Hughes Mary Alexander Helen Marte Wood John Rawls Marlon Ruffm Frances Alexander and I are the only ones who have come all the way from the frrst grade together The other members of our class of twenty three jotned us along the way and we were glad to have them We have been very fortunate tn our years of learnrng to have had such a wonderful faculty who have done so much so help us to develop rntellectually and socrally tnto the ladres and gentlemen we wrsh to be We would now ltke to take thts trme to thank them for thetr wonderful work whrch I know wrll be of great help to us tn our future ltves As we leave and go out tnto an even greater adventure, let us not forget our motto, Climb Though The Rocks Be Rugged.
