In ' 56 we entered our Junior year of high school. Mr, Wilson had to divide his time between duties as principal and being our home-room teacher. Class Officers this time were President, Boyd Harris; Secretary, Emma J e an Calicutt; Treas- urer, Earl Phillips. That year we gave the Junior play, which was titled Aunt Cathy ' s Cat . . It was a great success, we thought, and we surely enjoyed every minute of the production. The high spot of that year was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which we, along with the Seniors, enjoyed very much. Being host to the Seniors gave us a special thrill and made us feel impo rtant .

Then in the fall of ' 57 we became Seniors. Miss Sadie Holleman, our home room teacher, greeted us with a friendly smile. This was our last and most exciting year of school and we looked forward to it with enthusiasm. We we re a little sad because, little by little our number had divided to only twenty-five. Our class officers were President, Wayne Rose; Vice-President, Lib Gaines; Secretary, Patsy Fields; Treasurer, Emma Jean Calicutt . That year we published the Bonlee Gazette and the T reasured Leave s. The Juniors gave us a lovely banquet, which we will always remember. Our greatest thrill was when we received our class rings. We were really proud of them. We also gave our Senior Play which seemed very successful. Now, we are about to walk down the aisle in our caps and gowns to receive our diplomas. Time has changed us in many ways, and we are not as happy as we thought, realizing that soon we are leaving the carefree days at Bonlee School, but hoping we are ready to face the future- on our own.
