l S 111 M, Q S i S-Eg: JISC' Q t The story of our progress toward this goal which we have been striving to obtain, reaches far back into the dim--almost forgotten past. During our first seven years at Calhoun School, our days were filled with trying to master reading, writing, and arithmetic. Then came the long awaited day when--one by one--sixty-six eighth grade graduates shyly filed across the stage to receive their diplomas. To us they were much more than just a piece of paper. These diplomas were symbolic of a turning point in our lives--the reformation from mere grade school children into high school students. It was during this year that several students from Rumsey came to Calhoun for their high school education. When September rolled around in 1949, sixty-three freshmen were en- rolled under the sponsorship of Mrs. Paul Phillips and Miss Frances Blancett. By the time we had wandered around trying to find our right classes, we felt as if our label of nGreen Fresh en' suited us per- fectly. Dan Davis served as class president and Jean Howard was elected all-school cheerleader. By our sophomore year, the number of students had decreased to fifty. Mrs. John Thomas was our sponsor and Jimmy Bailey was elected class president. We were very proud of Hugh Rightmyer who began to show his ability as a basketball player. Judy Nall was elected sophomore cheerleader. Our junior year was filled with living up to our name of nJolly Juniorsn. We lost a number of students and gained several classmates from Beech Grove. Royce Bates enlisted in the Air Force and Bobby Heflin joined the Paratroopers. The final total was forty-five. Mrs. John Thomas continued as our sponsor, with the help of Reverend Mitchell Bennett. Hugh Rightmyer was elected president.

Mrs. Hellman Cobb and are our sponsors, and we new have thirty class members. Hugh Rightmyer is again our president. During this year we presented the annual senior play entitled NThe Eager Miss Beavern. We have the following seniors in the National Honor Society: Janice Young, Elizabeth Caulley, Jonell Fulkerson, Jo Scott, Mary Eula Wood- fork, Mary Colley, Hugh Rightmyer, and Walter Scott. On behalf of the senior class of 1955, I would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Cobb, Miss Blancett, Mr. McEuen, and the entire faculty for the help and understanding they have given us throughout our high school years. 13
