Scenes From Our Past Oh, Mr. Photographer, if only you had been here To go with our class through every year, But since you were not, I want you to know Our story, beginning four years ago. Here are some events that were important to us all; Of course, each has his own special ones to recall. Nineteen forty-eight was the year we ventured forth; Fifty-eight timid freshmen set out on a new course. The changing of classes and the ringing of bells Confused us at first; I ' ll be honest and tel I . Having different teachers was a welcome change, too Not that we tired of one, but it was something new. There were clubs and activities in which to participate And those boys who owned jerseys really did rate. But it so happened that when we were frsehmen, I deem Horace was the only boy who made the football team. Also for the first time, some of our girls that year. Got a chance to stand on the sidelines and cheer. Then at Christmas with spirits gay and appetites hearty, We celebrated out at Hilltop with a Christmas party. Early in the spring there was a big beauty contest When many of our girls were decked out in their best. We were happy when among all the beauteous of face Mary Jane, a freshman, was chosen for third place. Then in May, next to the last day of school We ended our activities with a party at Clark ' s Pool. Our freshman year had proved to be a happy one And although we ' d worked hard, it was a lot of fun. In 1949 we entered our sophomore year By then we were fami Iiar with the goings-on here. Lita joined us that fall and there were others who Dropped back to be sophomores with us, too. In the autumn of that year, Charles it seems Was the only new soph boy to make the football team. Nancy, Shirley, Billy, and Charles became Betas that yeai And because of their initiation getup endured many a leer There were other events which took place in the fall Perhaps the football banquet was most important of all. In the spring of ' 50 we presented our first May Day It was a beautiful spectacle we heard everyone say. Mary Jane, a sophomore, was crowned May Queen And a lovelier sight is seldom seen. Together with the juniors at the end of the year, We climaxed with a party, our memories dear. i ' Scenes From Our Past In 1950 we began our junior year We were nearing the end of our high school career. Ruth Ann, Betty Jean, and Ruby joined us at this time. Ruth Ann ' s art ability proved to be quite a find. A very important event that I readily recall Was getting our class rings, a delight for us all. Another important event was the Junior Senior Prom. And for a while raising the money caused us some alarm. But after many months of our paying liberal dues. We were finally able to swing the Gay Nineties Revue. Our second May Day was also a work of art. And, as usual, our class contributed a beautiful part. Also, this year we had accomplished something new. In getting our first yearbook out to you. When we ended this term, we were full of cheer. Hap py with the prospect of being seniors next year. Nineteen fifty-one! We were reaching our goal. But our class was quite small, now only thirty on roll Our members had just drifted away like a tide. Some lagged behind, many fell by the wayside. Only twelve of our original class was here To take part in this last and most memorable year. Helen, one of our old pupils, came back to join us But then Ruth Ann had to leave and we put up quite a fuss Charles was the lad who was chosen in the fall To be president of the class and guide us all . This year it was almost our first and foremost aim To make a great performance of The Able Miss Cain. Practicing for Commencement and Commencement itself Are among memories of ours that wi 11 always be left. I couldn ' t possibly name all the happenings here That made it the very best of our high school career. We thought we ' d be glad to see the end of these years. But we ' re possessed with a sadness that is close to tears. So Mr. Photographer, I think you ' ll agree when I say, That We ' ve come to the end of a perfect day. ? 10 C it cuZZZ.

Ways Of Jolly Juniors This year we had a decided feeling of superiority, having been promoted to the al¬ most highest rank, that of Juniors. We c I ipped through a busy, wonderfu I, activity-filled year with the greatest of ease for we had grand leaders, Miss Fahringer and Maxine, Miss Walker and Rita. First came the taking of pictures, which made us all vain and pea- cockish, then the measuring for rings which proved conclusively that our feeble little minds were not even capable enough to select the right stone. Thencame winter,. Most of our important, extra-specia I acti vi ti es went intohiberna- tion until spring when we burst forth with our Junior-Senior, which was a huge success. We received our rings and felt like big shots. We participated in our friends, the Seniors Commencement. Now we are r eady for our big jump from being underclassmen to the glorious positions of Seniors. 1 5 ’ Jean Buchanan Robert Buchanan Graham Chandler Frances Crawford Jani ce Davis Pear I i e El Iiott Helen Cooper J.

S.C.A. Of, by and for our students Aims Mary Jane presides Citizenship Cooperation Recreation Health Self-inprovement A pleased audience left the auditorium. The newly elected Student Coop¬ erative Association officers had been initiated in a very inspiring ceremony. A whole year was before our S. C. A., a year full of work, of learning, and of pleasure. If our photographer could have followed us through our year. I ' m sure we ' d have depleted his stock of flash-bulbs, if he had taken a picture of each of our activities. In the fall, with Mary Jane leading us, we planned alI the assembly programs. This plan, not like some of our others, worked out beautifully. All winter long we worked laboriously over our plans for May Day and the Senior Tea. Then came the long-awaited day of May which turned out to be a huge success--just as our Senior Tea did. Installation of officers and our Staunton River District meeting kept us busy right up until Commencement.

Homemakers of Tomorrow Didn ' t you see the garments we made, the meals we prepared, and the improvements we made in the appearance of our homes? This is what we accomplished in Home Economics. Personal appearance, family relations and finances, and chi Id care are some more of our pro¬ jects. But where there is work, there must be play. What fun we had decorating, planning, and preparing for our Christmas party on December 19, and our Mother-Daughter Banquet in April. Going to the Spring Ral ly in Chase City was one of the most exciting events of our entire year. SEATED, FIRST ROW:Nancy Lee Yancey, JoyceAnn Yancey, Joyce Ann West, Laura V.

Our club entered the one-act play festival which is conducted on districtand State levels. We presented the play, Andante, a drama. Throughout the year we enjoyed presenting several plays for high school assembly.

It is because of their leadership, their character, and theirachievement, alongwith atleast a B average that these people are eligible for membership in the highest honored club in our school. Thirteen new members were welcomed into our Beta Club this year. A formal initiation was held in assembly. The new members were later put to the test by dressing freakishly and spending an evening of horror with the old Betas. LEFT TO RIGHT: Frances Ragland, Aline Sadler, Anne S.

Patroling The Bread Line At 12:30 the photographer snapped our lunch patrol just before going on duty inour cafeteria, in the buildingand on the grounds. Their duties range from calling students to lunch to seeing that lunch trays are cleaned and put in the right places. The lunch patrol was headed by Eleanor Hudson as captain with six girls serving as patrol¬ men . James heads the Junior line, as usual. Sponsored by CHASE CITY DEPARTMENT STORE Chase City, Virginia 34 Serving For Safety Mr. Photographer, you caught twenty members of our student body fastening on their belts and badges. These are the members of our school safety patrol. There are two patrol men for each of our school busses. They see that all the passengers are there, guide small children across the roads, and maintain peace and order on the buses. Certain patrol men have various other duties too, such as putting up the flag, putting up the stop signs and ringing the bell. Josephine West, Lieutenant; Shirley Wilbourne, Captain.
