QIWI 01116810 September, 1957. The first of the 1961 graduat- ing class entered Brenau Academy. Among these wide-eyed freshmen were Frances Arrendale and Cshy?J Gail Peay. By second semester they were joined by Valerie Cassell and the class of 1961 was well on its way. The following Fall brought more new girls to add to our class. Two of these were Nancy Arant and Ginger Brown who rivaled Mrs. Hughes as English instructors. Somehow, we struggled through a tea or two, spells of homesiclcness, and courses which we found to be a little harder than we had anticipated. Being Sophomores was big business. We'll never forget the numberless butterflies we made for the senior banquet or how pretty our big sisters looked at graduation. But it was a long way off, and we looked anxiously to our junior year. With our junior year came many additions to our class. And a strong class it was. We had three members on Executive Council and two new girls in Honor Society. That year we became acquainted with three new teachers. There was that science teacher from Walnut Bump , Arkansas who had even Jen Pat- ton liberating her ids. Then there was the health and physical education teacher whose first aid and life-saving courses might have made heroines out of a lot of us. And, of course, Mrs. Blodgett endeared herself to all with her sign saying, No, I have not graded the history papers! With Tracy leading the underclassmen, we em- barked on a banquet to end all banquets. Who can forget Beth Jones and Carolyn Jackson's rose- making courses, or Ginny Perkins' girls with the orange hair? Fortunately, it all tumed out very well. and we realized that we were about to spend our last days as Juniors. September, 1960. The day finally arrived when we knew that we had made it. Seen showing new girls around at registration with extra pride were Dianne Magruder and Bobbie Crispin. No sooner did we get back than we found Valerie Cassell, A811 ..... India Joye, Jean Skaggs, and Lenoir Waller on the floor playing bridge almost every spare min- ute. Among those initiating the two new dorms across the street were Irma Frech, Lanier Harris, Suzanne McKemie, Jen Patton, Annette Vickers, and Lee Wilson. Our new teacher, Miss Horsch, was often mistaken for a student. Elections, both Presidential and Student Gov- ernment, came and went and we found ourselves with a new President named Kennedy, much to Nancy Atkinson's delight. Also seen, but not re- joicing, was Martha Marion Garner who bore a striking resemblance to the new First Lady. Long before Santa Claus arrived, Ramona Sta- ples, Henrietta Dettmering, and Jane Seymour had managed to do some roof walking of their own, while Peggy Hurst and Becky Harris reminisced over week-ends in Louisville. Milree Mackey and Bea Upson were typical immigrants to the Wishie-Washie and Peggy Peterson guarded fluffy rugs with her life. When everyone found out about Bonnie Beck's brother at Riverside, she had plenty of company on town days. While Frances Parsons was the pride of our glee club, Carol Ann Victor proved to be a champ at volleyball. Who could ever forget the day Jane Burton sat in for Mrs. Turnipseed? Health class never seemed to interfere with Mary Louise Browne's sleep and we all awaited the day that Anne Reddick would arrive to class on time. In keeping with our theme of Christmas Fan- tasy , Shari Patton's hair turned green for the dance. We were quite happy with the Christmas party that we gave the underclassmen, and hoped that it would .become a tradition. The fourth of January we all dragged ourselves back to school and received the joyous news that Len Duncan had an engagement ring. After the long haul of exams, Ginger put the finishing touches on the annual, and we knew that the rest would seem like a dream,
