Deming High School - Devil Yearbook (Mount Olivet, KY)

When the bell sounded for school to begin on September 17, 1945, twenty-six answered present to Mrs. Christine Sim’s roll call. We entered Deming High School with great hopes for a future of success in the academic field. Like most other high school classes, we have been beset by great losses in the number of classmates who have quit school, some through channels of matrimony and other because of general discouragements. At the beginning of our Sophomore year seven had dropped out; however, we had gained five. Our class then numbered twenty-four. Our second year was highlighted by our sponsoring the Sweetheart Banquet. Of course in this as in everything else in the past three years we were ably assisted by our sponsor Mrs. Lucille Sandifer. At the beginning our Junior year we numbered fourteen. This year passed uneventfully until the closing of the year when we entertained the Seniors and Faculty at Bracken County Dam with a weiner roast followed by roller skating at the rink in Brooksville. Our fourth year was one of woe for the gallant thirteen who returned. We were beset by many troubles, the greatest being Mrs. Sandifer’s resignation necessitated by illness. As the Star brought hope and inspiration to the Magi so has the willingness to help on the part of the other members of the Faculty brought hope and expectations to the Seniors. As this annual goes to press we are planning our Senior play, our Senior trip to New Orleans and many other thrilling events. 8
