ffddd Waiw n September, 1940, the school yard was crowded with excited children waiting to be admitted into grammar school. Every- one was unfamiliar with this kind of life, and it took some time getting acquainted with it. At the last of the school term in 1946, six years of struggling with grammar grade subjects had come to an end for these children. But they had grown both physically and mentally and were not in a. lost world, but one of better understanding and knowledge of general things. As this class entered Junior High School, they were joined by students from the communities nearby. Students from other towns were also enrolling with them, making a large group of boys and girls looking forward to high school. The ninth grade was the beginning of a four year course of toil mingled with fun and frolic. Under the leadership of Jimmy Daugh- drill, Presidentg Edd Smith, Vice-President, Jack Westmoreland, Secretary-Treasurerg and Mrs. Smith and Miss Maxwell as home- room teachers, the class began their first year of high school life. The class elected Edd Smith, President, Jack Curtis, Vice- Presidentg Jack Westmoreland, Secretary-Treasurer, to lead them through their sophomore year. Miss Sills and Miss Dill were their homeroom teachers. The biggest events of the Junior year were the Halloween Carn- ival and the Junior-Senior dance. The Carnival was the first to be held out of doors and the dance was the first of its kind to be held. Under the guidance of Mrs. Smith and Miss Eidson these activities were big successes. In November the new high school building was completed and the students moved ing that was the day everyone had been looking forward to. Later the rings were ordered and the Junior play was presented entitled It's A Date , and it was a hit. The officers that were elected to serve during the junior year were as follows: Ted Westmoreland, President: Nancy Ramsey, Vice-Presidentg Edd Smith, Secretaryg Jack Westmoreland, Trea- Sl1I'el'. The senior year under Miss Darracott's and Mrs. McElwee's help has been one of much work to make money so that the class may go to Washington. Some of these ways were selling Christmas cards, presenting a play, and sponsoring a dance. The dance was held in the armory after the home-coming game. The game was a big occasion for everybody. Ann McElwee was elected Home-Coming Queen and each senior football player had a sponsor. Ted Westmoreland, because of his excellent leadership, was again elected president of the classg Edd Smith, Vice-Presidentg Nancy Ramsey, Secretary, Jack Westmoreland, Treasurer. Toxie Hampton was elected Princess to represent Clover in the Christmas Carousel and Ted Westmoreland was selected to play in the annual Shrine Bowl game, the first Clover student ever to have this honor. Ray Robbins was elected editor of the annual which was one of the biggest projects of the senior year. A constitution was drawn up for Student Council and officers were elected early in December. Edd Smith was elected president and the other officers came from the other grades. This is the first time Clover High School has ever had this type of counciling. As time goes on and years pass, the Seniors of 1952 can look back and truly say that the twelve years of school at Clover were the best years of their lives. Dot Craig Historian
