CLASS HISTOfly In September of 1939 we started to school. The girls and boys were a little timid after just leaving home, but it wasn't long before we felt as if it were our school too. Our class was un- usually large; therefore it had to be divided. Our teachers were Mrs. Annie Brite and Mrs. Lelia Yates Harris, who patiently tried to teach us reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. During the next few years we sailed along rather smoothly, although our class was still divided. In the eighth grade we had a wonderful time. We began acting like grown-ups since we knew it wouldn't be long before we would be graduating from Elementary School. In the year of 1947 we entered high school. It was during this year that we had several New- land students join us. Again our room was di- vided. Miss Mattie Brite and Miss Dorothy Gallo- way were our home room teachers. The officers from Miss Brite's room were Carolyn Ives, Mar- garet Ann Pritchard, Kathleen Ownley, and Cal- vin Hudson. The officers from Miss Galloway's room were Sara Ferrell, Bobby Cooper, Helen Lee Jackson, and Judith Lee Temple. Perhaps the high-lights of the year were the Mother- Daughter and Father-Son Banquets. Most of us survived the freshman years but a few dropped out to take another course in life. Our divided class was now combined to remain the rest of our school years. Miss Mattie Brite who was to be our teacher through the rest of our school years was our home room teacher. During the year we had several more Newland students to join us. We chose Adrienne Mc- Pherson, Helen Lee Jackson, Kathleen Ownley, and Ed Harris as our home room officers. Next we were juniors, A big present came for us just before Christmas, our class rings. Then we had our junior play, The Atomic Blonde. Last but not least came our Junior- Senior Banquet that we had been looking for- ward to, for such a long time. Our class officers were Calvin Hudson, Judith Lee Temple, Kath- leen Ownley, and Rachel Carter. Now we are Seniors. We chose Helen Lee Jackson, Barbara Ann Bundy, Barbara Lee Har- desty, and Bobby Cooper for our officers. Calvin Hudson, our Junior Class President, is now presi- dent of our Student Council. Nothing exciting has happened yet, but we are looking forward to the greatest excitement of all, our graduation. 14
