Standing on the final steps before graduation we are able, in retrospect, to reflect on 1958 when we began our years of hard labor . Although not yet actually high school students we became engrossed with the enthusiasm and excitement which vibrated throughout those unfamiliar but long awaited halls. We did not feel left out ompletely because of the opportunity afforded us to participate in some of the activities and to compete for positions on the varsity teams. It was for one of the few who made varsity, Sammy Adams, that we found it necessary to cut short our visit to Jamestown and the picnic which followed at Yorktown. We were as glad to see the end of that freezing trip, as June and promotions. Our ninth grade year in Mrs. Mountcastle ' s room brought many changes including the divided schedule which prevented many of us from participating in sports. However, Patsy and Win were chosen as cheerleaders, and Sammy continued as our diminitive, star second baseman. Spring brought an exciting class trip with the Sophomores and Juniors to -- Mount Sterling. The remainder of the day was spent skiing and swimming on the Chickahominy. Being Sophomores with a new homeroom and teacher, Miss Bingham, we were no longer awed by the high school halls. Money proved to be our greatest concern in 1960 and 1961. Realizing that soon we would be Seniors with bills to pay, we sold pennants and a portion of a shipment of candy. The girls, however, believed the big st addition to our class was not money, but Billy and Charles Johnson. With the ordering oi our class rings and a trip to Buckroe we said good-by to our title of Sophomores. Becoming Juniors always appeared to be a great step until the realization when there, that the Seniors occupied the highest rung. Receiving our rings we wore them with pride, but soon we were aware that we must live up to Mrs. Richardson ' s expecta- tions as her Juniors and Seniors. Giving our first dance and assisting in serving the Corn Club Supper not only increased our wisdom but our treasury. Feeling confident of raising great wealth , we began plans for the 196b HARLES CITIAN and being Seniors. At last---Fall of 1962 We are Seniors! ! This has been a wonderful year. But we found that with the privilege of becoming sophisticated” Seniors came added responsi- bilities. The annual, our biggest problem, was completed in February, allowing us time to serve a supper and recover from class meetings and a Variety Show. May Day ap- proached with Win as Queen, Bill as her escort, with Mary Ellen and Joy, her Maids of Honor. The Senior trip completed we will return to Charles City, but for the last time, for in June the final rung of our ladder will be reached leaving us at the foot of a new one. Good-by CCHS! There will never be another class of ' 63, but each of us will always remember our high school days. 13
