JUNIORS Our Junior year was highlighted by the Junior-Senior reception, the selection and ordering of our rings in anticipation of our Senior Year, tense excitement as the curtain ro se on our play in September, Glee Club practice, the endless rush to classes, and comparison of chemistry notes and geometry propositions. Members of our class who held prominent positions were Elizabeth Noel, Class President and Assistant Editor of the School Bell; Alice Graham, Vice President: Watanna Peterson, Class Secretary and Treasurer: and James Grubb, Assistant Business Manager of the School Bell. What would our basketball team have accomplished without Alice Graham as “high point” forward for the third successive year? She has built for herself a repu- tation which has made her a threat to all opposing teams. Although we felt the loss of five members. Sue Books Barker, Ann Sizemore Carter, Joan Kilbourne Fitchko, Shirley Lane Scroggs, and Mabel Bledsoe, this was compen- sated by the addition of Iris Kiser from Appalachia and Jerry Potter, Jim Roy Noel, and Murl Blanton, former members of the armed services. Our musical talents were evidenced by the large number who belonged to the Glee Club and Band. James Grubb, Bo Compton, John Stone, Edward Gilliam, Roy Dulaney and Dutchy Morris were our contributors to the football team. Helen Allen and Alice Graham represented us on the Safety Patrol. Janis Asbury, Alice Graham, Joyce Lyle, Opal Laster, Martha Jean Quillin, Willie Mae Quillin, Nell June Giles, and Helen Reasor were all active members of the Spanish Club, with Janis acting as President. Alice Graham, Opal Laster, Norma Morgan, Watanna Peterson, Elizabeth Noel, Pattie Davis, and Janis Asbury set the pace for scholastic achievements. Our number one social event was the Junior-Senior Reception held in the gym in May. We are indebted to Miss Dingus for her quiet understanding and capable guidance which helped make our year a success. It was not until we carried the daisy chain down the aisle at commencement that we fully realized we were now Seniors, and that the year ahead was the one for which we had so long worked.
