enior Cladd .Hia tory y The class of 1950 entered as freshmen in 1946 and were presided over by Miss Alice Liggett. Our fourteen girls and twenty boys didn't en- gage in many activities that year except the intramural basketball games in which our boys won the championship and a trip to Rollerland. On this trip, however, one of our classmates Freshman officers Genevieve Lambert, Secretary, Betty Jo Michael. Our fresh- Lois Cook broke her arm. were as follows: President, Vice President, Lois Cookg Wilfongg Treasurer, Betty man year soon sped by and we realized we were ready to be Sophomores. Miss Mary Pitsenbarger became our home- room teacher that year. Our English class of that ycar gave a play in assembly Make Room for Rodney by Marion Halbrook under the direction of Miss Katharine Sieg. In the spring of that year we went to Rollerland with the rest of the high school. Another exciting inci- dent occurred when our boys again won the championship in intramural basketball. The officers for our Sophomore class were: Presi- dent, Betty Joy Baylor, Vice President, Rodney Thomasg Secretary, Lois Cook: Treasurer, Fred Botkin. By the beginning of our third year we had learned more about high school life. We began to think seriously about that year and the fol- lowing one. Our sponsor, Mr. Hunter Leach, helped to realize how much fun, along with our studies, school really could be. The student government was improved that year by organizing the Honor Court. This movement was led by our Junior English class. Fred Botkin was elected by the faculty to head the court, a great honor to him and the class as a whole. The court was made up of two representatives from each class with Ruby Williams and Bobby Lightner, Seniorsg Genevieve Lambert and Fred' Lovegrove, Juniors, Betty Bartley and Harry Taliaferro, Sophomoresg Charlene Moneymaker and Richard Collins, Freshmen. During this year we elected as our officers: President, Fred Botkin: Vice President, Howard Becky Secre- tary, Velma Gordon: Treasurer, Lois Cook. With the help of these officers and our spon- sor we entertained the Seniors at a Weiner roast at Gypsy Hill Park. Later, we started re- hearsals on our Junior Play, but lack of time forced us to give up the project. Instead of giving a play, we sponsored a dance. This turn- ed out to be very successful. Toward the last of the school term, we ordered our class rings. Our class was given an electric clock, via Mr. Leach, which we passed on as a gift to L c 9 the school. The clock was placed directly over the score board in the auditorium. Finally, the time came for the Jolly Juniors to become Seniors under the direction of Miss Katharine Sieg. When we entered our Senior class we numbered only twenty-two. Our class of this year opened the school year with a square dance in honor of the Freshmen and the new members of the faculty. Another main event of the year was our Senior Play Cin- derella Rose by Jay Tobias. With Judy Arm- strong playing the leading role. We presented our play with much success on December 10. During the past year, students of Church- ville High School entered all of the Virginia Literary League contests in forensics, except the boys' prose reading.
