I, personally, can say it was a day long awaited. We were herded into a room which quickly became known as home room , where noses were immediately counted and cards passed around to write your name on. And I soon learned the names of my classmates-to-be for the next four years. They were: Betty Looney, Beverly Nihizer, Earl Sollars, Lucille Wickline, Carol Picklesimer, JoAnn Woods, Barbara Spangler, Eddie Rolfe, Jerry Harper, Larry Mc- Pherson, Norman Puckett, Albert Stewart, Rosalie Egnor, Bobby Caudill, Sally Hicks, Gene Drummond, Charles Weese.

C LASS HISTORY cont. Hill, and Ginny Hinson. Our class officers turned out to be: .lay Hill, president, Norman Puckett, vice- president, Ginny Hinson, secretary, Barbara Kennard, treasurer, Rosalie Egnor, song leader, and Beverly Nihizer, news reporter. We lost Albert Stewart mid-way thru the year and LaVonne Webb came in to re- place him. Then Eddie Rolfe gave up the struggle, leaving an even twenty. For an activity, we had a bake sale at Troutman's Grocery in Harrisburg for a small profit. Somehow bake sales never seemed to work out for us. Our initiation was mild but the skating party and wiener roast at Gold Cliff was real cool. ln the sports column, we really rated high for Green Freshmen . We had three of our boys playing varsity ball. They were: Jay Hill, Earl Sollars, and Bobby Caudill. On the queen's court, Lucille Wickline was our worthy representative. Also we had one girl, Ginny Hinson, lucky enough to be elected as a cheerleader from our class. Mr. Arnett, being our class advisor, held up very nicely thru the yearl Having attained the title of sophomores, we came back to school on September 6, l953, ready for anything. At the beginning of the year, we picked up two new pupils, namely Roger Miller and Barbara Runkle, only to lose them again. Roger withdrew via working permit while Barbara considered marriage an easier life. Again Jay Hill, Earl Sollars, and Bobby Caudill were good enough to make the varsity. Lt: and coming on the reserve team from our class were Norman Puckett, David Strawser, and Wayne Williams. The managers of the basketball team, Gene Drummond and Larry McPherson, were also from our class. Barbara Kennard was an addition to the cheering squad, also Ginny Hinson from last year. Our class officers for the year were: Norman Puckett, president, Gene Drum- mond, vice-president, Ginny Hinson, secretary, Betty looney, treasurer, and Bar- bara Kennard, news reporter. Ginny Hinson was elected to represent the sophomore class on the queen's court and was proud to accept the honor. Mr. Taylor was our advisor and a very wise one. We ordered our class rings the latter part of April and hope to get them soon after school begins in September of '54. l8
