Class History It is 1954, as I look back to the past, I pause at the year of 1942 — I see thirteen charming little girls spruced up in their pretty little dresses and eleven boys in their starched little overalls. Before entering High School, we struggled through the usual trials and tribulations of an elementary student. There were twenty girls and boys of the former twenty- eight to graduate from the eighth grade. With the help of Mrs. Allen, we presented two plays, Life of the Party and Rosalyn's Wedding, the night of our eighth grade graduation. In 1951 we started our first year of High School with much enthusiasm and new ideas. We presented a Negro Minstrel to raise money for a score board. Our class officers were: Donald, President; Betty, Vice-President; and Patsy, Secretary-Treasurer. Pat Williams from Tennessee joined us to share our enthusiasm. Pat was elected one of our cheerleaders. Mary Jane was our Basket Ball Queen Attendant. As we entered the Sophomore year, we chose Betty, President; and Patsy, Secretary-Treasurer. Mary Jane was elected one of our cheerleaders. Betty was our Basket Ball Queen Attendant. In our Junior year, we chose Mary Jane, President; Donald Lee, Vice-President; Betty, Secretary; and Glyn Clark, Treasurer. Junior Griffith decided to come from Illinois to share our good times. Mary Jane was again elected cheerleader. This year proved to be the most prosperous for our class. Our interest this year was financial. We were responsible for the Junior-Senior Trip; we worked our fingers to the bone slaving to raise money for it. We took the Seniors to Nashville, Tennessee. The Grand Ole Opera was the high-light of the trip. Everyone reported a very enjoyable time. At last we earned the title Dignified Seniors. Although there are only nine left in our class, we have had much fun working together. We chose Donald, President; Pansy, Vice-President; Betty, Secretary; and Patsy, Treasurer. On October 12, 1954, the seniors, except Pat and Donald, observed Senior Day at Kentucky Lake. It was a windy day, but we had a wonderful time. We, the Seniors, decided to publish an annual. Inexperienced as we were we com- pleted it with the help of Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Mabry. Our Senior Play was very outstanding and each character portrayed his part well. We have our eyes set on the future; we see the Junior-Senior Trip as the most outstanding event of the year.
