HISTORY On a bright sunny morning of September in the year 1936, a group of young, scared boys and girls took their seats in Mrs. Sharpe's Hrst grade at Berryhill. Of the forty-five first graders that took their seats only nine have completed the twelve year struggle at Berryhill. Ar first we found the g1'ades easy, because reading and writing were not hardg but as we advanced toward our destination-high school, our work became more com- plicated. With the understanding and patience of our teachers and parents, however, we entered the eighth grade, completing the last stepping stone of our grammar education. It was this year that our friends from Steele Creek joined us. In the late summer of 1944 we started on our journey through high school. With the help of Miss Lee, Miss Davis, and Mr. Davis, our new principal, we were assured that this year would be a successful one. Our officers for the Freshman year were: Leighton Todd, president, Carl Vvilcox, vice-president, Bob Lewis, secretary, George Brown, treasurer. The next year of our journey we entered school as Sophomores. This was to be a very big year for us, because we were going to have our first big high school banquet. The banquet was a huge success. We also gave our first 3-act high school play, Faith, llope, and Flarityf' which wound up the year for us. That year was unusual because, for the hrst time in its history, Berryhill did not turn out any Seniors due to the addition of the twelfth grade. The officers elected for our class were: Carl Wilcox, president, Leighton Todd, vice-president, Edith Blackwelder, secretary, Emily Nan Crier, treasurer. Entering our junior year, we looked forward to our real junior-Senior banquet. That year we had all the planning and work to do for the banquet, and we wanted to make sure our Seniors were royally entertained. The banquet was held at Hotel Charlotte and was a huge success. just before Christmas our class was suddenly saddened by the death of one of our classmates, Ceorge Brown. The junior officers were: Tommy Autry, president, Edith Blackwelder, vice-presidentg Dorothy Reid, secretary, George Brown, treasurer. This, our last and Senior year, has proved to be one that we shall never forget. All of the members of the Senior class have gone whole heartedly into making this yearls annual the largest and best one presented by any Senior class at Berryhill. We have taken a very active part in the sports, programs, and other activities of the school. We really appreciated the junior-Senior banquet, because the juniors did everything they could to make it a wonderful banquet. The high school paper, The Roundup, sponsored and put out by the juniors, has been one of the best papers ever presented to the Berryhill students, and we have enjoyed it thoroughly. The graduating class of this year, individually, wants to thank the teachers, parents, and others who have made it possible for us to receive such an education and have given us the conhdence which we needed for a wonderful start in life.
