LEASS FAIS IORY We believe that it is safe to say that our Senior Class is one of the best, at least one of the most outstanding that has ever gone through Ceres High School. As freshmen we were glad to say that we were at long last in high school and thought little about becoming seniors. As Freshmen we were; Lucy Hounshell, Bertha Hayton, Alma Umbarger, Janice Harner, Geneva Smith, Margie Becker, Elizabeth Creggar, Don Foglesong, Harold Foglesong, George Lambert, Jason Burke, Bill Catron, Otho Cassell, Garnett Hubble, Earl Repass, Bobby Hubble, Francis Groseclose, Troy Peck, and Fred Williams. A great step in our lives was over at the end of our freshmen year. We next found ourselves sophomores but regret to say that on entering the class some of our former class mates were absent They were: Margie Becker, who entered Rural Retreat High School as a student, Elizabeth Creggar,who chose matrimony, rather than become a Senior with the rest of us, Garnett Hubble,who chose to be the master of his own home, Earl Repass, who thought the road to seniorhood was too rough for him,Troy Peck who quit school to work on his father's farm, and Fred Williams, who chose Maryland for his home instead of Ceres. We welcomed to our class Mabel Creggar, a former student of Rich Valley High School and next Marguerite Neil and Anna Lee Thompson,who had fallen by the way- side the year before, At the end of our sophomore year we ha climbed another step toward seniorhood. , We then became Juniors,but becoming so we lost Alma Umperger, who could not continue school because of ill health, George Lambert, who quit school to work, and Bill Catron, who was stricken with infantile paralysis. We welcomed into our class Donald Hubble, formerly a member of Rich Valley High School. At the end of our Junior year we had climed the third step to seniorhood. At last we became Seniors, a title for which we had been working for what had seemed like a long long time but really had been just three short years. We regret to say we lost two members, Jason Burke, who is a student of Wytheville High School and Lucy Hounshell, who chose the title Mrs. Ralph Brown instead of the title, Senior. We have worked hard to become Seniors and to show our respect for Seniors of next year. We gave the Junior Class a weinner roast and then took them bowling. As we move on,we will all remember the good times we had and forget the unpleasant ones, for such is life. The friendship and memory of Ceres will ever be with us like a spring morning after an April shower. Oe 4, Q — y ‘s, ¢, SOLE

oH 7 Se’ Z PROPHE LY 4 Oh, Gee. This crystal is getting dimmer. No, now t is clearer. Now I see Donald Foglesong, who has just eceived his Horse Doctor Degree at Blacksburg. My Good- esst He's practicing on a cow, Oh! my the light is ickering. I don't see why but it must be beceuse it is far off view. It's Geneva Smith, I mean Mrs. Harry Wilson, carrying a cool glass of water to her husband. They are making their home in Ohio. Gee! Is the light glittering now? Why it is the reflection of the reflec- tion of the typewriter of Marguerite Neil, the cute little stenographer who has just finished some reports for thé Ceres Hosiery Mill. Manager, Donald Hubble, he is saying: Narguerite, would you like to go to the movies tonight?’ She smiles answering, Yes, Darling. What is this now? Why it's a mustache and it belongs to Otho Cassell and he is out with that pretty Dorothy Lamour. Now I see Mabel Cregger bending over the bed of a wounded soldier. She seems to be a close friend of his. Geel! This is a clear picture. I can see Harold Foglesong sitting in Brigg's Stadium watching his former classmates, Bobby Hubble and Francis Groseclose playing in the American League against each other. Francis is catching for the Detroit Tigers and Bobby is pleying third base for the New York Yankies,. What a game! My Gosh! There is a Navy Nurse with some Naval Officer. He is short, fat and quite handsome and the nurse is Anna Lee Thompson, Look who's in it nowt It's Mrse He Ge Guynn, Jr., the former Janice Harner, tidying her new brick fp amy Now who could that be that seems to be so far away? Why it's Mrs. David Hubble, the former Bertha Hayton, on her honeymoon in Canada. As the crystal gets dimmer I cen see Bertha and David starting for a hike. Now the crystal is blank so Adios ,
