: Class History Loolcing baclc over the past twelve years, we the Class oi 1950 recall many lond memories ol our public school days. One that we distinctly remember is that Sep- tember day baclc in 1938 when we started that important school day as pupils oi the first grade. There we lormed many lasting friendships. We shall never forget that Christmas party given to us by the Senior Class where each ol us received a gilt from Santa Claus. ln the spring, we tools part in the last lxflay Day exercises that were ob- served in grammar school. Gradually getting used to school, we advanced from our ABCE to reading and writing. ln our third year. we were introduced to mathematics lrom which we learned that 2 and 2 are 4. ln the next two years we were accustomed to the platoon system. We were now able to Find our way from room to room with ease. ln the sixth grade there was no more pulling of pig-tails as the boys were banished to a class by themselves. No more could we write those little Hnotesn that made us feel so grown-up. As seventh graders, we considered ourselves as Seniors. How we looked down upon those young children--and how we loolced forward to high :school next yearl Between the monthly Junior Red Cross meetings, from which we derived not only entertainment but also training. the Christ- mas pageant, Commencement exercises and play, and our lessons, we were lcept quite busy. Only too quiclcly came the end oi our grammar school days. On September 10, 1945, we entered high school as freshmen. ln the eighth grade we were initiated as freshmen, ior we still didn't have but eleven grades, though we were changing to the twelve- year system. As lull-iiedged freshmen of the ninth grade, we participated in the activities of the high school. At this time the high school band was formed, some of the girls were chosen to serve at the Junior-Senior banquet, and eleven ol our classmates went out lor lootball, three ol whom won letters. The novelty ol high school was wearing oil as we became tenth graders and we were settling down to worlc in order to pass such subjects as biology, Latin, and typing. That year, as sopho- mores. we gave our first play in high school, Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roostf, Eleven soph- omores became members ol the Beta Club. Some of the girls again served at the .lunior-Senior banquet. Becoming Juniors. we were engaged in many activities. We sponsored a magazine sale, a Junior play, introducing Susanf! and several basketball games to raise lunds lor the banquet which we gave the Seniors in the spring. How olten had we dreamed ol that time when we would be Seniors. It seemed rather like a dream until that day in September when we re- ceived our class rings. Then before we could turn around it was almost Christmas and time for us to give the iirst graders a Christmas party. Spring soon came and the night ol our Senior play. Re- covering irom that. we attended our last Junior- Senior banquet. As Seniors, we hated to see the year pass by so quiclcly because we realized that there was so much we had lelt undone. We worlced hard this year getting the annual ready lor press and doing our best to win that loving- cup for the Hi-Life. Then came Class Night, the Baccalaureate sermon, and graduation. Believing that education is the beginning ol knowledge, we will receive our diplomas, proud, lcnowing that we have reached another milestone in this endeavor. We loolc bacylc over the years with many regrets for qur mistakes, but nevertheless confident that we have been adequately prepared for whatever comes in the future. BETTY REAVES, Class Historian.
