Tales of The Argonauts . . . CLASS HISTORY It was on a beautiful fall morning in September 1945 when we the students of the senior class entered Clay County High School as freshmen. There were one hundred thirty-five of us, all eager to know our fellow students. a When we were well acquainted with our fellow classmen, it was time to elect officers. They were as follows, president, Junior Underwood: vice president, Curtis Leggg secre- tary, Rondell Love: treasurer, Hubert Hively. Our sponsors were, Mrs. Boggess, Mrs. Dah- nert, Mr. Klng and Mrs. Harris. Next year we turned a little more mellow in color, not so green now, and elected these officers: president, Curtis Legg: vice president, Buren Jonesg secretary, Dawn Eakleg treasurer, Gwendolyn Douglas. Before we realized it we were juniors. Most of our class had taken part in programs, joined clubs and various organizations. We elected the following officers: president Larry lgog vice president, Dawn Eakle: secretary, Jo Ann Summers: treasurer, Noel Miller, With the generous help of our sponsors, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Boggess, Mrs. Dahnert, Mr. Dahnert, and Mr. King, we sold different articles and sponsored various programs and events. We did this in order to provide the seniors a wonderful Gay Ninetles , reception, complete with a four piece orchestra. Are we Seniors? Yes, we are. We have withstood the hardships that we have had to face. After long decision, we elected president, Jack Sizemore: vice president, Loyd King, secretary, Gwendolyn Douglas: treasurer, Betty Osborne. We honor our class sponsors, Mrs. Boggess, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Eakle, Mr. Lykins, Mr. King, and our principal, Mr. Black. They have spent long hours to help benefit our class and to make it one of the best ever to be graduated from this high school, In the future ahead of us we can look back and proudly say, Yes, I was a forty nlner, a graduate from Clay County High School. Those were the best years of my life.

We'll Strike It Rich . . . CLASS PROP!-IECY My spirit winged it's way through space, wafted here and there, far from the world I had once known. Being of a restless nature, and disposed to lnquisitiveness, I drap- ed my invisible form in robes of ethereal whiteness, and descended slowly to hover over the vast reaches of the earth from which I had departed. As I drifted downward, I won- dered just how and where I would find my former classmates, the seniors of '49. As I neared the realm of reality, I was suddenly startled as an object of incredible swiftness zoomed past me. Only my unearthly powers enabled me to see that lt was an atomic plane manned by Junior Estep and Shirley Young. They were returning with trophies from their fifth trip to the moon. 1 Faint music lured me on, and I came presently to a broadcasting station, I peeped in, and immediately realized that the program being broadcast was the famous West Vir- ginia Mountain Gang starring Dale Foster and his magic guitar. Other members were Dale Workman and his wash tubs, Carmel Fitzwater with his singing saw and that sweetheart of the airway, Betty Osborne. Nearby, I saw a row of cottages, and within one were familiar figures. Taking advan- tage of my unseen state, I slipped inside to see how time had treated old friends. Rose Marie Doss fWalkerl was saying, No, Jean and Junior, I don't remember any Latin, You'll just have to get your homework yourselves. Two neighbors, Olive Cook lAshleyl and Betty Morton tvancel, had dropped in. for a visit and were gosslping vigorously. In other homes along the street I recognized many housewives. Avis I-Iardway lJohn- sonh, Madelyn Taylor Schoonover, and others whom I had known by the names of Phyllis Legg, Wanda Griffith, and Mary Miller were too busy at daily tasks to detect my pre- sence. In another home I entered, famous paintings hung on the walls. In one I'00l'l'l stood a piano, with stacks of music: all showed a love of the artistic. Mary Louise McClure, the well known opera star, sat reading the latest issue of the Clay Crier, a newspaper edited and published by Buren Jones Glancing over her shoulder, I saw an article which, in my macabre way I thought especially interesting. It read: Dr. Dawn Eakle, research surgeon, has finally succeeded with her series of experiments in transplantation. Her associate, Dr, Gorden Samples has announced that by this method the unfortunate person born with nose or ears too large for his face could trade with a person whose nose or ears were too small. If his eyes were the wrong color for his hair he could have his traded for those of a person in the same predicament. As I read further, an eye-catching advertisement warned me, Don't miss the grand opening of Broadway's newest hit , Mary loves Junior . starring Mary Daugherty. Another article informed me that Wallback, West Virginia has become suddenly famous by the advent of quintuplets. Proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Harold Fields. I slipped quietly from this scene, and emerged on the street once more. As I moved along I heard a wheeze, a rattle, and a clank, When the outmoded contraption finally overtook me, I saw Emma Hamrick driving her old rattle-trap car-a. '49 Ford. Farther down the street I heard music blaring forth from a basement room. When I stepped down and opened the door, I saw a room thick with smoke and noise, In one corner a card game was in progress. Around the table sat Freddie Taylor, Noel Miller, Cebert Browning. and that ladv card sharp, Noda Taylor. From another corner I heard a clicking noise, followed by a high-pitched giggle. Crossing the room, I saw Jo Ann Sum- mers trying desperately to win a game of pool. As I tumed to leave I saw Jerry Turner trying out his new invention, a pin ball machine guaranteed to always let him win, By this time the unusual strain of being on earth once more had tried me, so I ascended to the clouds where I waited till an airplane came by. I entered the plane where I beheld Nellie Holcomb at the controls. She had nearly completed her first solo flight, a trip around the world. Feeling a litte frightened with such an amateurish pilot, I hastily transferred to a passenger plane, There Deloris Walker, the stewardess, was trying unsuccessfully to auiet some of her iltt-ery charges. Among the frightened ladies were Morine Fltzwater, Mary Thomas. Ocalee McClung, Dorcas Hall, and Malissa Sams. They were taking a week-end vacation after finally completing a ten-year secretarial course. I saw another passenger looking disdainfully at the excitable women. He was Jack Sizemore, Life Magazine photographer, on his way to cover a. story. I glanced out the window and saw n great deal of activity on the earth below. My curiosity became dominant once more. so I descended to investigate. What at first seemed to be a battle soon proved to be a Sadie Hawkins Day race. I could see people at dif- ferent intervals over a great distance. Well toward the front were G-eve flrecm-ich and Curtis Lew. Close bel-ind them: and gaining rapidly were Geraldine Hughes and Nell Hathway. Others of the hunted were Joe Paul Baker. Carl Brown, and Billv Davis. Among the pursuers were Eva Frame Oleda Rnmsev. Olive Holcomb, and Beulah Carte. Near the end Pearl Adkins and Evelyn Strickland were trying hopefully to pass the others. Suddenly I noticed two neonle who were not running! These two were Larry Ivo and Don Walker. These two had never been able to get wives, so they had entered the race to let themselves be caught. Now, having a desire to visit the far north. I drew my robes more closely and whisked away. Below me I saw a strange apparition struggling along through the deep snows of the artic. When I came closer I saw a dog team drawing a sled piled high with precious furs, and seated among them were the trappers Walter James and Denver Legg. 126.-
