X View A i 6199! O, , Sikxsgf l W Classmates, for many years now we have been sitting in the cinders, so to speak. We will think of the cinders as the work years we spent in high school. We have been here trudging along, acquir- ing the fundamentals of education and the art of living with ourselves and with one another. Sitting in the cinders has not been so bad because we have had happy and gay times together. We have obeyed with meekness and humility the rules and regulations of cinderland. All worthwhile things are gained by a price. We have paid that price as we have written our history through the yearsf Act l of a four-act play entitled The Blakely Senior Class History-l948, Time-l944. Place-The old Fryer house on North Main Street. - All of us trudged nervously toward the old Fryer house which, at the time, was all we had for a school building. We went to our rooms and found our homeroom teachers to be Mrs. E. C. Bridges and Mr. Lowery Stone. New members who joined our class that memorable year included Lois McDowell, Helen Patterson, Benny Windsor, and Reese Teclder. We were told by our fellow high school chums that good class officers in high school were a necessity and after thoughtful consideration, we elected Ray Shierling as president. Our first class party was a formal affair that took place in November at the Woman's Club House. Because it turned out to be such a success, many others like it took place in the future. Act ll. Time--1945. Place-Fryer House. Our sophomore year was begun in September of l945 and we were still without a school building. Classes were being held, as usual, in the Fryer house. More new names were added to ourclass roll that year and they were: Ann Edmondson and Tommy Crawford. Ray Shierling was elected class president for the second time. Money making proiects and another class party highlighted our sopho- more year. Homeroom teachers were Mrs. l. O. Brown and Mrs. Floyd Hattaway. Act lll. Time-l946. Place-New School Building. Yes, it was our junior year and our schooling quarters had been changed from the Fryer House to the school gymnasium around Christmas of l945 and about two weeks before our sophomore year was completed, we moved over to this big, new, beautiful school building. Mrs. Alyce Dennis and Mr. E. H. Cheek were our home room teachers that year and they were two of the very best. At a class
