tins HISTOIY The fourteen students of our class of 1953, look ahead to the month of June, when our years of school will become happy memories to be recalled over and over again in the years to follow. We were a class of twenty bewildered students when we entered high school from the seventh grade and after weeks of learning the way of life of high school students, we set¬ tled down to work. We have been very fortunate to have Mr. Luthy and Mrs. Ryerson as teachers all through high school. Our teachers, other than the ones we have now have been: Mrs. Norris, Mrs. Tayloe, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Calkins, Mr. Casey, Mr. and Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Tomlin, who left in November. In our freshman year, some of the boys were initiated into the F. F. A. Club, and most of the girls sang in the Glee Club. During this year, Peggy was chosen by the Red Cross to attend the National Convention in Detroit, Michigan and on her return, she gave an in¬ teresting and amusing report. Frances won the essay contest on the subject of the town of Montross. The girls ' softball team was very successful this year. They won the cham¬ pionship for District F. During our sophomore year, the basketball team was organized. The team did very well for first year players although they did not win any games. Again the girls ' softball team won the trophy for District F. Cheerleading was organized. Peggy was one of its members. The girls who took Home Ec. were initiated and what a comical sight they were. It seems as though our junior year was the most eventful. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held in March. The decorations were centered on St. Patrick ' s Day. Peggy, our class president, gave the welcome and Edith Mae was Junior giftorian. The school paper. The Voice of Cople, was started this year with Frances as editor. The girls ' softball team won the championship of two counties but lost in the finals to Callao. Frances was selected to attend the S. C. A. State Convention at Longwood College. Evelyn and Harry were representatives to the Girl and Boy State Camp at V. P. I. Frances and Edith Mae attended the F. H. A. State Convention at Madison College. Frances represented the Northern Neck Federation as a candidate for state office. A May Day was held this year, the first in many years. Several of the girls were attendants. Our Senior year has been crowded with important events. The senior play, Papa Says No , was presented in December under the direction of Mrs. Ryerson; our annual. The Traveller, was published by the senior class with assistance from Mrs. Nelson. The girls ' basketball team played wonderful games and won second place in the league. Essay contests, participation in the Forensic league, ordering and receiving invitations, mea¬ suring for caps and gowns and practicing Glee Club music for Baccalaureate and Gradua¬ tion have filled our year and made us realize that the chapter in history of Cople entitled, The Class of 1953 , is drawing to a close. As we go out into the world on our separate ways, may the memories of our four years of high school, bind us into a lasting friendship and provide us with an inspiration in our years ahead.
