Class Memoirs ln September of 1944 the doors of CHS were stormed and the halls echoed with the patter of little footsteps. Among the rumble and clattering were Marilyn Davis, Ann Magill, Lois McRae, John Robards, and David Wilson. These rascals were under the ever-vigiliant eyes of Mrs. Hardin. Along with the guidance of our teacher we began our trek down the rough road toward knowledge. The next seven years were spent mastering the ABC's, multiplication tables, fractions, and geography assigiments. During these years we acquired Mary Donna Lawson. Marla Schrougham, and Mary Eldridge. The executive committee who ruled over the seventh grade class was John Robards as President: Ann Magill as Vice-President: Mary Donna Lawson as Secretary and Treasurer: and Mary Eldridge as Student Council. Continuing on into the years we see our eighth grade class officers are President, David Wilson: Vice-President, John Robards: Secretary and Treasurer, AnnMagil1g and Student Council, Mary Eldridge. For our eighth grade party we had a weiner roast and hay ride at Phillip Hutchin- son's house. Later in the year Mr. Holeman treated us to a hamburger fry at his house.

Class Memoirs As money making projects this year we decided to sell magazine subscriptions, stationery, and to sell cokes, popcorn, and ice cream at all home basketball games. Also we picked tomatoes for a seed house to help us toward our senior trip. On December 29, 1954, the class traveled to Cincimiati to see the new movie, Cinerama. The group was taken by one of the bus drivers. Upon entering into our senior year we find we have thirteen familiar faces. During our first week of school our class officers were elected to reign with Marla Schroug- ham as President: David Wilson as her assistantg Mary Donna Lawson again taking minutesg John Robards guarding our treasuryg and Marshall Plummer as delegate to the student counciL By the end of the first semester our annual was half done, our senior pictures were taken and returned. and our class trip was decided upon along with the juniors who went with us. We enjoyed the eight day trip taken to Philadelphia, Washington D. C., and New York City, and came home exhausted and more than pleased with no exams awaiting us. On May 7, 1956, with fond regrets and pleasant memories, we graduated from the rumbling and clattering halls of Clark High. This is a seventh grade photo of the present senior class.
