-22 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The history of our class is rather unusual. The first grade net enrollment was thirty-five, plus eight who enter- ed and withdrew, making a total of forty-three. Only eight have continued together this far. They are Martha L0uiSG Carter, Gretchen Graham, Maribel Speakman, Patsy Templin, Dorothy Weidinger, George Pryor Harmount, Eugene Mace, and Guy Zurmehly Jr. We started in 1929, with Mrs. Frank Tay- lor as our teacher. Our teachers from the second to the sixth grade, in- Clusivc, were as follows: Miss Una Ater Chrs. Orris Mallowy, Miss Hazel Aoord Chrs. Tylor Lowej, Miss Gladys SatohC11 Cmrs. Francis McCollisterJ, Miss Edna Campbell, and Kiss Audrey Skinner. Our home room teacher in the seventh grade was Miss Peecher, the eighth Mr. Dennis, and this year Miss Tissler. We were the second class to enter the seventh grade under the new junior high system. The following year, 1957, we entered the new high school building. Thus we have been in all four buildings. In the eighth year, the girl's trio, Gretchen Graham, Martha Louise Carter, and Patsy Templin, won first place over the Atlanta trio in the Atlanta-Clarks- burg Music contest. We had the first eighth grade commence- ment in many years. There were thirty-six who received diplomas. The enrollment of our Freshman Class was thirty-six at the beginning of the school year and at the present is thirty- one. James Williams, Earl Reisinger, and Ora Downing dis- continued their school work. Due to serious illness, Lucille McDonald withdrew from the school. The untimely death of Robert Pelfrey, March 20, 1958, caused the other break in our ranks this year. We collected money to send to President Roosevelt for the nParadc of Dimesu, thus aiding in the curing of infantile paralysis. The class wrote a letter to the President, and included a picture of Lucille McDonald, our classmate, patient in the iron lung at Ohio State University Hospital. The iron lung was purchased from the proceeds of Birthday Balls in former years. Three of our classmates received school letters. Meribel Speakman achieved hers as cheerleader. Jack Minser and Darrell Templin earned theirs as players on the basketball team. Our class hopes to continue together and become the larg- est class ever to be graduated from Clarksburg High School.

-25- THE TRIPS TO 'WASHINGTON For three years the seniors of Clarksburg High School have taken trips to various points of interest. The first of these trips was made in June, 1955, when both the Seniors and the Jun iors went to Washington D. C. in a local school bus. The trip lasted seven days, and the entire distance traversed was about llOO miles. The next year the Juniors and Seniors went to Detroit, Buf falo, Niagara Falls, Cleveland, Akron, and Columbus on a trip that took them 108C miles in six days. This time they went in private automobiles. In June, 1937, the Seniors, without the Juniors this time, ventured on a fourteen day trip through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, along the Sky Line drive of the Blue Ridge to Wash ington, then to Annapolis, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic - City, New York City, West Point and the Hudson Valley to Sche- nectady, up the Mohawk Valley to Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Cleve- land, Columbus, and home. This trip, in private automobiles, was the most ambitious yet attempted, although the Class of 1958 hope to duplicate it, or go even farther. Time goes fast on these journeys, and they end all toe quickly. But the members of the classes and their chaperone have the privilege of seeing many important and interesting places. The Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the library of Congress, Mount Vernon, Arlington, and many other ' outstanding places are visited. The Smithsonian Institute takes at least a day of the four days generally allotted to Washington, although a month could be used there profitably. Then the Capitol is of course visited, so that Congress may be seen in action. A boat ride down the Potomac at night pro- vides a good, restful diversion as a closing event to the vis- it at the Nation's Capital. The United States Naval Academy at Annapolis is always interesting. Last year, however, it was scarcely the half-way mark of the'rip. Baltimore, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, and especially New York City intriguingly beckoned the expectant Seniors, who found this part of the trip even more thrilling than the days in Washington. Poe's grave and Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Independence and Carpenters Halls in Philadelphia, the Board Walk at Atlantic City, and even a view of the wreck of the Zeppelin, Hindenburg, left their indelible impression on the memories of the students, but New York City, with its Statue of Liberty, its harbor, subways, great ocean liners, skyscrapers, and Great White Way provided just as vivid mem- cries. Then back to the road again, the peaceful scenes of rural New York, the majestic Hudson, the Eric Canal, and fin- ally Niagara Falls--all are merely high spots in never-to-be- forgotten Journeys to places of world-wide interest. The classes return with a feeling of deep gratitude bo their friends who, by their support of various entertainments, help to make these trips possible.
