Robert Legg and Shirley Douglas, mem- CAbsent John we ,ss N.. 42 f . Qin .flllvf 7, I remember the superintendents office close by where we sometimes went on errands for teachers. Here is Where the Board of Education shaped the policies for the countys' schools . . . Here too were Mrs Virginia Sizemore, ex-high school secretary, and Norma Samples, chief clerk, graduate of Clay County High School. PFAFF AND SMITH Charleston, W. Va. CHARLESTON HARDWARE COMPANY Represented by George King Charleston, W. Va. PARKER C. BLACK, Principal . . . Our principal is the one we worft forget. He got the blame for everything from the rain which ruined the floats in the Homecoming parade, to the snow that fell on the first day of Spring. We all know he did so many things that deserved praise, for instance, he brought more intere.sting assemblies and programs this year than eve! before. We all liked Mrs. Velma Waters, the secretary, because she really was a likeable and cheerful person. CLENDENIN MOTOR SALES Clendenin, VV. Va. nd K I will never forget my teachers at old Clay High School. How we stood back in awe when we were frosh , but how human we found them to be by the time we were seniors. . . . Could we ever forget how Mr. Smith guarded the halls. We couldn't stick our heads out after the warning bell rang . . . Those jokes and tall tales of his put spice in world geography and World history classes . . . Miss Virginia Taylor had a pretty smile. She was such a friendly person to everyone. No one ever saw her lose her temper in typing or shorthand classes . . . Mr. Edward Harris was an all right guy too. He had a sense of humor but he was strickly business in biology class and student council meetings. He brought movies and even showed those things at noon . . . Mrs. Flora S. Eakle, chorus teacher was well dressed and to quote an excerpt from the Tattler, Her students rank her tops in patience, kindness and understanding. She taught world geography, too . . . Mr. R. L. Taubert was always trying to help the students out, not only his vo-ag boys, but everyone. He was cheerful, friendly, and an all round good sport. He would go all out for a good cause . . . and, Mrs. Alta Bobbitt-we'll remember her for her habit of saying You people . She really knew her subject matter-algebra, Latin, and geometry, An all around good teacher. For a teacher who puts zip in her classes, Mrs. Jane Harris of course. She gave stiff assignments in English, and speech but she would give us a second chance. She had a laugh which was strictly her own . . . Mr. Mitchell Lykins-remember how he would always say at the end of study hall, Put those maga- zines back where you got them . He coached the vo-ag basketball team-If there were good eats to be ser- ved, Mrs. Boggess fixed them-for teas, luncheons, parties-ummm! And those frames on her glasses- pretty! She was one of our home economics teachers and sponsor of F.H.A . . . Mrs. Ezelle Ramsey could be characterized by one word-sincerity-She was a teacher who respected her students' opinions .bind they loved her for it. We had shorthand and typing to her . . . Mr, Jake Reed could paddle the boys and they liked it because he never refused to help one of them when they were on a spot. He had a sense of humor, too. He proved that in math classes . . . Miss Phyllis Hertel was all for the kids-Sponsored games at noon, made D-Masters a good club-a swell physical education teacher, too. Mrs. Lois Plymale was a strickler for details and for doing the right thing. F.H.A. girls found she was a good sport-She was another home economics teacher . . . Mrs. Icie Hope McCune-She could remember the most things-We loved her for giving us just a little more time on assignments. Besides teaching English, she was Girls' Counselor, She was really interested in the individual . . . Mr. O. K. Wilfong was Boys' CounselorARemember how he would say 4'Now boys! He was also assistant principal and American history teacher-a very busy man, but he still had time to be the boys' friend and an avid sports fan . . . Mrs. Versie Kincaid had a stiff homework schedule-and she took her teaching to heart-believed in what she was teaching-whether it was in English class or Future Teachers Club-In our memories Mr. Harold Vass will still be standing on that special spot at the new building telling the kids how long it would be until the tardy bell rang. Everyone remembers the whistle he used in band practice . . . Miss Rosa Craig can say that she has worked at Clay High School for five years tho' she has been here only four, because she has worked overtime so much . . . She really knew her science and chemistry. Sponsored by REEDS DEPARTMENT STORE Clay, W. Va THE KANAWHA DRUG STORE Charleston, YV. Va. . . . Mrs. Genevieve Young-the best remembered thing about her was the little thoughts that she wrote on the board each morning-One she really believed in was, Variety is the spice of life . Maybe that's what made her classes in economics, civics, and journalism so interesting . . . Mr. Herbert King always impressed us with his calmness and quiet attitude-Suppose that's why he was a swell shop teacher-He was cooperative, no matter who wanted what of him . . . Mr. Ralph Hammond was basketball coach and physical education teacher-The boys said he really put a person through the paces-He could chew tobacco almost as fast as Bennett-Didn't he always have a big smile for everyone?-When Mr. Guy Bennett said something to the boys it stuck. He was just a good coach in our opinion.-Yes, Diary, they were our tea- chers-Maybe they didn't know it at the time but some of the things they did those four years have made a lasting impression on us-and we shall be different people because of having had the privilege of being in their classes.

Clay was a friendly place . . . True it was composed mostly of trees, two main streets and a river . . . We had a lot of fun sauntering along, hand-in-hand or with arms linked in twos or threes, to the postoffice, the drug store, the eating spots, 9-rlfil the feI1'CeHt Store - - - UP the courthouse steps, over the bridge, up the hill and S0 to School - - - There is S0 Ifltleh to remember. How can we forget the school itself With its Ste S hollowed out in spots by the many, many gone before us . . . And the big events otp our high school days. We were welcomed to the place as freshmen jgreen of coursej and began taking everything in . . . We laughed with everyone over Danny Cleneh snapping a picture of Mr- Bobbitt'S new barn when Mr. Wolfe sent for a picture of the 'chewy building - - i Mrs. Killeaid and MI'- Taubert were as new as we in ,47 . . . The first eP1fh00lC Since ,4l, Came Out - - - The biggest joke of the year was when the teachers didn't Sliow up OH April Foo1's day - - - Work PerIIlltS ended .... A new scoreboard was bought . . . Barnett came in as County Superintendent. The Parker C. Bleek chapter of the National Honor Society was organized - - - Largest class in history of high school was graduated Q they left I1eW Stage Cl11'faiI1Sl - - - Bertha Wilf0I1g was our president that year. We came back to the Sacred halls in ,48 as sophomores to find that we had lost some members but had gained some boldness . . . We Sew the first and only faculty play - - - The Campbells are Comingl' , , , Bennett Came in as coach.
