CLASS HISTORY The long awaited day (the day we leave our dear old high school and start our way into the world) has finally arrived. And now each must go his own way and do his own work. We entered the ninth grade as timid fresh¬ men, eager to start work. For the first time since we had started to school the boys and girls were separated, with Mrs. Poovey taking the girls and Mr. Poovey taking the boys. Here we had to get used to the idea of changing classes. We thought this very odd and found things rather difficult and hard to get used to, but with the help of our teachers we soon learned the routine and accom¬ plished much that year. When we returned to school as sophomores, we found that some of our classmates had dropped out. The boys and girls were united once again with Miss Clifton and Mr. Honbarrier as our homeroom teachers. We found that the tenth grade was harder and required much more work, so we all set to work studying frogs and insects, taking notes and diagraming sentences. As Juniors we were all impressed with the responsibilities we had. But there were highlights. The first of these was the receiving of our classrings just after Thanksgiving. Then came the choosing of the Junior Marshals who were Betty Carol Johnston, Ronald Reinert, Bill Spencer, Frances Mills, Marcell Spain, Tyrus Blackwell, and Mignon Shelton. With the help of our homeroom teachers, Miss Odom and Miss Hall, we held our Junior- Senior banquet, which was highly successful. And with the help of our many friends, teachers, and principal we became Seniors. We were all together in one homeroom with Mr. Teer as our homeroom teacher. The twelfth grade wasn’t quite as easy as we had expected, but we finally got down to work. The highlights of this year were the trip to Washington, the Senior play, and our graduation. We left as a gift to the school an electric basketball scoreboard. Of the many of us who started as freshmen there were approximately forty seniors who were to graduate. And now at last, the Senior Class of 1950-51 see that our goal is nearly completed. We have at last reached Commencement—the beginning of a new phase of life. As we leave our school we wish to thank everyone for the help that has been given us for the past twelve years. MARCELL SPAIN, Historian
