DeLAND SENIOR HISTORY One bright September morning, 1946, nineteen scared green Freshmen made their way up the worn path to DeLand High School. This little group consisted f Imogene Keller, Carol Maden, Milford Burton, Earl Francisco, Keith Floyd, ratherrean Burton, Genelie Rule, Jerry Harris, Mary Fahrnkopf, Peggy Corder, Eudean Norfleet, Donald Stites, Gene Buchanan, Loren Trimble, Robert Kallembach, Richard Loney, Robert Bushell, Marion Rudisill. and Mary Webb. Everyone soon became accustomed to the ways of D.T.H.S. We had our first class meeting under the direction of Miss Cathcart. Milford Burton was elected President of the class. During our first year in high school, we lost six students, Imogene Keller, Milford Burton, Earl Francisco, Keith Floyd, Genelie Rule, and Jerry Harris. During our second year Loren Trimble left our class and we gained Barbara Meneley, Carl Shepherd, Bob Rhodes, Elwood Williams, and Jerry Harris. Elwood Williams was elected president of the Sophomore class. We all had fun leading the green freshies around and more fun watching them be initiated as we had been the previous year. Near the end of the school year one more Sophomore was gained, it was Darlene Souders from Monticello. This gave us a total of eighteen Sophomores. WELDON SENIOR HISTORY The day of days had come at last. We, the greenest group of Freshmen N.T.H.S. had ever seen, were to enter high school. We filed slowly into the study hall and sat there too scared to move until a strange bell rang and everyone (except us) started going somewhere. We were terribly confused but at last with the help of Mr. Dickey and the teachers we found our way to our classes. About two weeks later the rest of the classes had a lot of fun with the green freshies and had us doing some very funny things for a day but we found that we had a lot of fun too. Our first year passed very successfully with Miss Norrick as our class adviser and the following as our class officers: Sharon Carr, President; Alberta Edwards, Vice-President; Ralph Massey, Secretary-Treasurer; Jessie Mae Wisegarver, Student Council. During our Freshman year we lost Lester Anderson to the Navy and Phil Arnett moved away and we gained Howard Turner from Montgomery, Alabama, and Jack Thomas from Lincoln. Curtis Marcum dropped out of school but returned the following year. The second year we entered school with a little more confidence and, of course, we had a lot of fun out of the new Freshmen that came that year. We met with Mrs. Kingston as our class adviser and elected the following as class officers: Betty Burns, President; Ralph Massey, Vice-President; Jack Thomas, Secretary-Treasurer; Howard Turner, Student Council. During the year we lost three members of our class; Charles Briggiman moved to Indiana, Alberta Edwards moved to Middletown and Jessie Mae Wisegarver moved to Clinton. From here on our class history is singular as DeLand-Weldon Senior High School. DeLAND-WELDON SENIOR CLASS HISTORY When school started the next fall, the DeLand High School and the Weldon High School were consolidated into the DeLand-Weldon Senior High School which made a good-sized Junior Class. There were twenty-seven members with Myra Seal acting as President. During the summer we had lost Dale King and Leon Radley from Weldon and Mary Fahrnkopf from DeLand. Near the beginning of the year the play, Parents Are Like That was presented in both DeLand and Weldon. The next big event was the receiving of the class rings. The Juniors had a lot of fun preparing and giving the Junior-Senior Prom. We were sorry to lose two of our students Mary Lou Webb and Margaret Conn. In the fall of 1949 we started back as Seniors and missing were Gene Buchanan, Barbara Meneley, Peggy Maden, and Jerry Harris. We had gained a student during the summer, Jim Cunningham from Waynesville. The Senior Class play Goodnight Ladies was presented in April. Just after the first semester we lost Sharon Carr. 13
