FRESHMEN Fifty seven members of the Freshman class started the year under the able leadership of Miss Steele and Coach Fitchko. Throughout the year, sports consumed our time as the leading activity. Participants of our class in football were Kenneth Taylor, Joe Wells, J. B. Beverly, and A. L. Rutherford, who served as capable substitutes while Carl Jessee held a permanent position as tackle. As football season drew to a close, our attention was centered on basketball. Those who took part in girls’ basketball were Nancy Holmes, Barbara Lane, Arvella Smith, and Joanne Nave. Boys from the ninth grade who reported for basketball were Joe Wells, who held a key position throughout the season. Bob Freeborn, Eddie Zeisloft, Gene Collier, Carl Jessee, and Gentry Scroggs. In our estimation the ninth grade “Sports Calvalcade” was one of the leading assembly programs presented during the year. Members of the class who had outstanding parts in the program were Bill Wolfe, Nancy Holmes, Bob Freeborn, Gentry Scroggs, Roy Early, and Frank Reeder. The pro- gram was climaxed by Coach Fitchko’s rendition of “Casey at the Bat.” We don’t want to assume that we are the leading class of our school, but we feel that we are capable of carrying on the work that remains before us in our high school career. EIGHTH GRADE The battle cry of the eighth grade in September, 1946, was “Where do we go next?” By the time spring rolled around the class had adjusted itself to the general routine of high school work. Although ye were not eligible for football and basketball this year, we had our hearts and minds set for the future participation in these sports. Highlighting a series of assembly programs by the students was our hit review called, “The Varieties of 1947” which featured the specialized tumbling artistry of our own Acromaniacs, the sophisticated modeling by the Myers Girls, and the swooning, crooning voice of Frankie Sinatra. The program was acclaimed by the entire student body. Other activities taken part in by the members of our class were: the band with six members and Bible class, twelve. Darrell Collins served as President, Jimmy Murphy, as Vice-President and Callie Ann Coughlin, as Secretary and Treasurer. Our class was under the guidance of Miss Myers and Mr. Gibbs.
