Our teachers were Mr. Wayne Trefz, Mrs.Virginia Collins, and Miss Mildred Cornelius. Our sophomore year was the first year in which we received awards for ranking high in the Every Pupil Test. This was continued throughout our junior and senior years. We began our junior year with approximately seventeen members. But as usual we had to loose one this year. This was Janet Hopkins. She also left us to take up married life. Our teachers were Mr. Wayne Trefz, Mr. Ernest Williamson and Mrs. Mazie McMahon. Of course we had a junior class play which was entitled The Nit Wits . I guess it fit us very well or maybe it was our excellent director, Mr. Williamson, because it turned out to be quite a success. Soon after our class play we gave a banquet in honor of the Seniors of 1947 which also was quite a success. Well, here it is our last year. We have a graduating class of sixteen members. We had the absence of one of our old classmates when we began the school year and the presence of a new member. Paula Chambers left Belfast to go to a preparatory school at Berea, Kentucky. Anna Lou Myers hails from Peebles High School. We have a new principal and coach. The principal, Mr. Earl Freeman whom we all like very much and Mr. Richard P- DaViS0h. Our C0aCh. who has been quite a success. Yes, we have Mrs. Mazie McMahon whom we all like very much even though I know she thinks we're quite a pest. And there is Mr. Ernest Williamson. I guess he just likes to teach chemistry and industrial arts. We selected for our class play a 3-act mystery-farce entitled Mumbo Jumbo. Mr. Davison was our director. The closing activities of our senior year were the Junior- Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate, and Commencement Exercises. Lucille West
