CLASS HISTORY Ninety excited, mischievous students crowded through the halls of D. R. that bright morn of September, 1954, to greet Mrs. Harris, Miss Hodnett, and Miss Howard. With all the hustle and bustle of getting settled in our classes, we elected officers in our respective homerooms. The commanders-in-chief were Faye Rowland, Larry Barksdale, and Mickel Battermann. About a month later, our dignity was lowered somewhat when initiation arrived. We were given the title of Rats and from the way we scampered about to prevent meeting any seniors, we lived up to the name. That was one day we are sure nothing was accomplished. Some of our freshmen showed promise and determination by joining the basketball and baseball teams. The Wildcats claimed Randy M., Mickel B., and Wayne Y., while the Kittens beckoned to Joan W., and Violet W. Since there were fewer of us in '55-'56, weneeded only two sponsors, Mrs. Sours and Miss Howard. With the leaders elected that year Randy M., president; Joan Walton, vice president; Judy Clark, treasurer; we felt sure our sophomore class would be the most successful yet. The Beta Club claimed some ambitious and brainy members when Anne B., Charlotte C., Sally P., Judy C., Cliff H., Mickel B., FayeR., LanaH., Randy M., Dallas $., Sandy Y., and Dianne G., became members. This class had its leaders with Judy C. as president of the F.H.A. In the brains department Charlotte C. was granted the Beta Merit Award. Ray J. won the Dairy Award in F.F.A. Now we realized that next year would be one of the best in school, so we left for our vacation bursting with anxiety. Our junior class had so much to do that it was almost impossible to know what was coming next. But one thing was certain, we needed class officers. Anne B., president; Cliff H., vice president; Judy C., secretary; and Faye R., treasurer were the very people who could lead that class to victory! Miss Pleasant and Mrs. Gettys helped us so much with the preparation of our play, Off the Track. We never thought our juniors were such promising actors. Another unforgettable event of '56-'57 was the Junior-Senior Banquet. Everyone who attended was in romantic Fairyland for the whole evening of May 2. Joan Walton and Charles Anderson reigned over the banquet as queen and king, and Mickel was master of ceremonies for the big event. The year '57-'58 was the most fabulous of all our high school years. There were 53 seniors. Doyle E. was elected president, Randy M., vice president; Anne B., secretary; Faye R., treasurer; Charlotte C., reporter; Sally P., devotional leader; Faye G. and Wesley B., song leaders. Judy C. and Cliff H. were the two new co-editors of the Archway. Our sponsors, Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Milam, must be given credit for their good advice. Various clubs in our school were led by our seniors: Beta Club, Cliff Hodnett; Monogram Club, Joan Walton; Library Club, Wayne Hall; F.B.L.A., Anne Beggarly; F.H.A. Federation, Judy Clark; Dramatics Club, Doyle Edwards. The S.C.A. was led by Randy Martin with Joan Walton as vice-president, Sally Pleasant as secretary, Wesley Barker as treasurer, Faye Rowland as song leader, and Anne Beggarly as pianist. We were quite proud of our beauty and popularity contest winners also. Sally was Miss Future Teacher, Kitty was runner up for Carnival queen, Tommy was chosen Carnival king, and Judy C., FayeR., and Joan W. were candidates for Homecoming queen. Our basketball team did very well this season with Randy as captain, Wayne as co-captain and such splendid players as Cliff, Mickel, Tommy, and Dallas. The Kittens were led by Joan as captain and Violet as co-captain. The memories of the play, banquet, Sneak Day, Graduation, and the happy days spent at Dan River High School will be remembered and cherished by each member of our senior class forever.
