SE 111,11 HISTUHY 1950-turn of the half century-bright year of beginning and ending! With hope, dreams, ambitions unlimited, we the Senior Class of Berryhill look eagerly to the beginning of a new way of life. But, with a certain nostalgia, we pause here on the thres- hold of our brave new world to relive the past-to remember the days, good and bad, that we have spent together. ln the fall of 1938 seventy-seven frightened first graders began the long flight through school. With the help of Miss Dulin and lVliss Barnett, the first grade teachers, we built our foundations for the following grades. Although seventy-seven entered the first grade, only seventeen have succeeded in finishing twelve full years at Berryhill. The grades rolled by rather swiftly after our first year in school. Our teachers were most patient, and with their help we soon became accustomed to school work. In the eighth grade our group, joined by that of Steel Creek, was increased in number and in wisdom, and soon we found ourselves ready for high school. Upon returning to school in 1946 our painstaking efforts to secure knowledge were rewarded with our new status as Freshmen in high school. we had much difliculty in adjusting ourselves to changing classes and having different teachers. The Seniors on the hrst day had many laughs as they watched us standing around, dazed and bewildered, wondering where to assemble for the next class. Our class officers for the Freshman year were: james Berryhill, President, Douglas- Collins, Vice- President, Barbara Propst, Secretary, and Donald jackson, Treasurer. The next autumn we thought school life much easier and happier. Cone were the Freshman frowns and fears, as we were now the sophisticated Sophomores. We began to participate in various activities, and several made both the basketball and baseball teams. Our class officers for this year were as follows: james Berryhill, President, Barbara Crane, Vice-President, E. L. Nance, jr., Secretary, and Douglas Collins, Treasurer. With two successful years of high school in the past, we prepared ourselves for a very busy junior year. We were confronted with the responsibility of earning money for the junior-Senior Banquet, which is always a highlight and an exciting event. The Berrie Stains Staff worked harmoniously and published an interesting school paper. We presented our first play, Brides To Burnf' showing unusual talent on the part of the students who participated. With an impressive banquet held at the Police Club in Morris Field we gave the Seniors their parting farewell. The junior Class Officers were: james Berryhill, President, Douglas Collins, Vice- President, Barbara Propst, Secretary, and E. L. Nance, jr., Treasurer. We were very saddened to hear that Mr. Dan S. Davis, our principal, would not be back for our Senior year. Although we considered it a great loss, we were glad that he was able to take u greater work. At last, in the fall of 1949, a goal long fought for was achieved-we became Seniors. During this year we were glad to welcome to Berryhill our new principal, Mr. W. A. Hough. Under an entirely different school schedule we began our Senior year with the determination to enjoy and benefit from it. The most digicult but most delightful task was the publication of the annual, THE LINK AND CHAIN, on which the staff did an outstanding job. With the many different programs of the class we elected our class officers as follows: E. L. Nance, jr., President, David Henry, Vice-President, joe Loflin, Secretary, and Harold Springs, Treasurer. For the first time in the history of Berryhill an organization was formed for the purpose of improving conditions of the school. This organization was known as the Student Council. The banquet given in our honor by the juniors was thoroughly appreciated, and we are saddened in many ways to leave the juniors and other under classmates. As we bring this period of our life to an end, we extend our thanks to lVlr. Hough, our teachers, our parents, and the school board for the loyal support which they have so unselfishlv rendered.
