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

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.

CLASS HISTORY cont. September 7, 1954, found us again visiting the little red-brick structure referred to as the school. Only now we had crossed another bridge and were known as iuniors. Our class officers were: Norman Puckett, president, Earl Sollars, vice-presi- dent, Barbara Kennard, secretary, Betty Looney, treasurer, Sally Hicks, sergeant at arms, Carol Picklesimer, news reporter. We finally received our class rings, and, of course, thought they were the best looking ones ever made. We were very sorry to lose Bobby Caudill to Madison Mills. We have missed him. LaVonne Webb got married during the summer. CI hope it isn't catching.l Jerry Har- per also decided against returning, leaving us only seventeen strong. Bill Gilfillen and Bob Laywell joined, but only for a short while. For activities, we had a dance November l3, sold pop at ball games and cleared a nice profit. We also put on a class play called Two Dates for Tonight , under the direction of Mr. Bennett which was lust fair. A Student Council was organized this year and our representatives were Wayne Williams, Norman Puckett, and Ginny Hinson. Pumpkin Show time soon rolled around and our school sent Barbara Kennard os Miss Darby who was grateful for the honor. Our iunior boys again hit the sports column with Jay Hill, Earl Sollars, Norman Puckett, and Wayne Williams playing varsity. This year Sally Hicks made the grade as a cheerleader along with Barbara Ken- nard, and Ginny Hinson who are now veterans of one and two years, respectively. For the annual homecoming game, the basketball boys chose as their queen Ginny Hinson and Lucille Wickline served as her attendant from our class. Carol Picklesimer did the honors as Mistress of Ceremonies for the game. Being a class that is always trying to be different, we gave the seniors a real lrlrl. The theme was ln the Garden . lt was beautiful if l do say so myselfTCgm- plete with a real name band. Don Decker's to be sure, and nothing less than the best. We certainly enioyed it whether the seniors did or not. The iunior girls also put out a school paper, with the much needed help of ole faithful Mr. Taylor. l might add that this was the first school paper put out in quite a few years. More honors came to our class when Betty Looney and Barbara Spangler were selected to be on the Honor Society Roll. That was an honor indeed, girls, and some thing to remember with pleasure. l9
