'Ubin We Juniors spent a very happy year under the capable guidance and leader- ship of Miss Broadwater, our sponsor. This year will hold many happy memories for Us because it was crowded with many activities as well as the usual grind of study. ln October, after examining rings from two different representatives we made our choice, an oval ring with a blue or red set. This we will proudly wear as Seniors. Our class was well represented in sports. Philip Kinder, Johnny Bradburne, Bob Daughtery, Kin Graham, Gerald Taylor, Fred Statzer, and Kyle Cooper were on the football squad. Those who went out for basketball were: Harriet Holton, Faye Dick- enson, Martha Powers, Joan Sargent, Joyce Sargent, Kin Graham, Philip Kinder, Johnny Bradburne, and Gerald Taylor. The Key Club claimed three of our members. Several participated in the Camera Club, Glee Club, Varsity Club, Band, F.H.A., and Safety Patrol. Five of our members served on the Jolly Roger Stait. Barbara Mercer was elected as our reporter. ln April we entertained the Seniors at the Junior-Senior Prom which was well re- ceived and quite a successful event. When we made the daisy chain for final exercises, we began to realize we now faced that long awaited dream of becoming o Senior. eff its CTA!! DRAFT SOA u k -

Of the thirty-three of us only eighteen have traveled the road together. They are: Carl Akens, Elsie Bloomer, Annis Fletcher, Barbara Joe Fletcher, Barbara Gilliam, Jim Hamblen, Marie Harris, Betty Hill, Dane Kite, Peggy Lambert, Jodha Ann Mullins, Bruce Scalf, Verla Jo Smitherman, Ralph Snodgrass, Bobby True, Patty Lynn Weatherly, Jimmie Whisman, and Peggy Jo Wilson. While we were in grade school we looked forward to and dreamed of the day we would enter high school. When we entered the eighth grade we realized that our dream was near. Finally, the great day arrived, we were Freshmen. lt was then that we began to feel important. We began to take an active part in the many school activities, The next year motrimony was the choice of several girls. Some of the boys joined the colors to fight for our country and freedom. Our Freshman and Sophomore years flew by and before we knew it we were dreamy Juniors. That year proved to be the most exciting yet. We worked hard selling magazines to help pay for our annual when we would become Seniors. As an important step toward becoming Seniors, we chose our rings which were yellow gold with either white, yellow, or pink gold rectangular tops with the BSG crest. We shall never forget the fun we had decorating the gym for the Junior-Senior Prom. ln athletics we were also quite active. The boys and girls of our class won the championship in the class basketball tournament. The last but most exciting event that year, was going to pick daisies for the daisy chain, a task which took almost all day, Late that afternoon a weary bunch of Juniors trudged home to get ready for the commencement exercises which took place the same night, During the summer between our Junior and Senior years Betty Lou Hill, Jodha Mullins, Jim Hamblen, and Dane Kite went to Girls' and Boys' State held at V. P. l. A week of study of state government by these was made possible by different organizations of the town. Then our dream came true. We achieved one of our life's ambition the day we became Seniors, Late this fall those long awaited rings arrived. Great was the excitement on that day. After much ado we selected our invitations and we then felt like graduation day was not far away. The Junior-Senior Prom proved to be the usual gala affair with James Ashe and Marie Harris reigning supreme as King and Queen. After days of practice the Senior play was ready for presentation under the direction of our sponsor Lora Dingus and Mrs. Winston Giles. lt was well received by the audience. Then those of us who had not taken part in a previous WOB's trip to Washington were given the opportunity to go. That trip holds many memories for us. Patty Lynn Weatherly was elected the best citizen. She represented our school in the Best Citizenship contest sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Then graduation night came and with it was the annual Alumni Banquet, which was the last event we were to take part in as Seniors. As we close our books of knowledge with a sigh and prepare to put what we have learned to use, we make a bow out of high school life forever.
