CLASS HISTORY OF 1951 We, like the other classes before us, have no unusual history. we began our days of Readin', Ritin' and Rithmetic about twelve years ago. We have emerged to the position that we now hold, slowly but surely. Each year we took another rung on the ladder of advance- ment. we hope we have accomplished much, but we do not claim anyh thing unusual scholastically. We want to leave our record behind so that the students who come after us may accomplish more in the future than we have in the past. The graduating seniors who started in the first grade are: Ruby Short, Berta Meeks, Betty Williams and.Lilliam Davis. Some of our teachers through the years were Mrs, Farris, Mrs. Fountain, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Snow, Miss Miller, Mrs. Durham, M s. Ryan, Mrs. Myers, M . Turner, Mrs. Salmon, and Mrs. Burkett. When we graduated from elementary school Mrs. Durham was our teacher. we felt very proud to receive grammar school diplomas and we were very eager to enter Junior High School the following year. When we entered our first year in high school M s. Burkett was our home room teacher. Then came our Junior II year with Mrs. Ryan as our sponsor. We had our ups and downs like the classes before us, but we finally ended the school term for that year. The next year found us as freshmen with M s. Myers as our home room teacher. We received our diplomas in due time to senior high school As we entered our Sophomore year about thirty new enrolles were added to our class. we had the Science basement as our home room until we moved into the new school building. Mr. Turner was our home room teacher for that year. Our Junio year found us with M s. Salmon as sponsor. Four new members were added to our class. They were Robert Woodley, Nancy Lay, Manda Ruth Wilcutt and J. T. Bruce. Several members were also lost to other schools. In September, 1950, we became Seniors. This year we had M s. Burkett as our Sponsor. We had Lawassa Johnsey and Barbara Bedsole added to our class. Our class has a fair scholastic standard and we sincerely hope it has prepared us for the many problems that will come our way in the future. We hope that these twelve years of school have broadened our minds and that we will have great success in the years to come. Class Historian Lillian Davis 0 37
