CLASS HISTORY It has been said that history repeats itself. That has been especially true of our class. Each year has been one of joy mingled with a little sorrow and sometimes misunderstandings. Now, at commence- ment time, we realize that the history of 1953 is closed to us as a class, but is beginning for us as in- dividuals. Let us turn back to chapter one and review the events and memories of the past twelve years. We started out as two separate classes, one at Boyce and the other at Berryville. Richard Dove, Goldie Garrett, Margaret Jenkins, Susan Jones, and Charles Suddith started to- gether at Boyce. During the early years they were joined by Bobby Cooke, Joyce Denny, Margaret Shiley, Helen Wilson, Russell Allamong, Irene Riley, Betty Jean Gray, and Betty Lou Wiley ; who came from the near countryside. Another one to join them in the early grades was Gertie Kerns from Hagerstown. The first grade class at Berryville consisted of Rebecca Ann Ashby, Milton Nicodemus, Bobby Bell, Ronald Fuller, Bill Royston, Marie Levi, Georgie Renner, Martin Grim, Mary Lou Hibbard, Russell Roberson, Bill Peters, and J. D. Berlin. The second grade gave us a brother and sister team — Kenneth and Shirley Stickley. In the third grade Johnny Dodson from Gaylord and Ginger Locke from Berryville joined us. Then in the fourth grade Mattie LaP ' ollette came to us from Clearbrook and Barbara Grove from Richmond. Polly Boyd from Pine Grove, Anne Jenkins from Berryville, and Carol Pine from Richmond were welcomed in the fifith grade. We added Bobby Crim, Edward Weir, and Sara Crim to our number in the sixth grade. The seventh grade was probably the happiest of our elementary school days, for it was there that we received diplomas and entered high school. We really felt grown-up then. Juanita McDonald re- joined us that year after an absence of three years. In the ninth grade we were joined by Ida Morris from Aldie and Ivan Ostrishko from overseas. The tenth grade saw the two schools consolidated and the two classes were joined together in a fine spirit of cooperation. We were honored in our eleventh year of school by being the first class to receive their school rings in the Junior year. We all worked hard that year to make the prom a success for the seniors. This brings us up to our Senior year where we were joined by Garfield Royston, who had taken the four grades of high school in three years. It was in our Senior year that we worked the hardest and had the most fun. We’ll never be able to forget the numerous times that we stayed up at night burning the midnight oil while studying for those English, shorthand, government, or trigonometry tests. Then too, the trip to Charlottesville to the football game, the “Talon”, the Senior play, the trip to Washington, the prom, and our many other wonderful experiences will long be remembered by the Seniors of the class of 1953. — Susan Jones — J.
