S£NI OR WJSTOKY Ssptesber 3t 1943, found 63 nervous and axoltad people regietering in Carter county high school at fra aha an, Thay had draaaad of how high school would bs a cinch but after a few days at tha wheal of gain- ing knowledge thay discovered they had baan hawing pipa dreams. To lead this group, Mrs. Gladys Tavlln took tha Job as class sponsor. So assist he tha class alactad Dorothy Guyer as president; June Beach, rice-presi- dent; and Gloria Ludwlck, secretary-treasurer. The first activity of importance this year was an event called initiation. We had heard of this comical show but this was our first experience as tha guinea pigs for It. We must have been pretty good as actors and actresses because everyone sepmed to enjoy it— especially the other classes. In order to repay our hosts, the sophomores, for their trouble, we gave a Crasy Hat party in their honor. This we marked as a success. When Carter's Homecoming time came, we elected Area tha McCamish as our q.ueen-elect. The freshmen of '43 took part in all school events. They proudly held their places on football and basket- ball teams, in chorus, on honor rolls, and in the ac- quiring of scholastic letters. The fall of '45 found 45 people entering high school to enlarge their knowledge. Some of our class- mates dropped their high school etudies while others transferred. Officers elected to lead our clast for the school term were: Eugene Schults as president; Zlden Strand, vice-president; and Doris Taylor, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Tavlin was still our capable class sponsor. We initiated the class of 1948 during the firet few weeks of school. This task was more enjoyable this year than laet as we were not the unlucky vic- tims. June Beach was chosen to represent our class as queen-elect during Homecoming of 1946, While Alberta I reigned as queen, June was one of her attendants. At the end of the term, Dorothy Gayer, Mery lllen Woodward, and Temette Cleveland earned scholastic letters. Those receiving athletic letter were! KLden Strand, Tom Waterland, Skeet Hedges, Bob Cooper, Bill Tledsmann, and fcigene Schults. Alas! We are upperclassmen, a position envied by the frosh and the sophs. Our president for the term 1946-46 was Bob Cooper.
