CLASS HISTORY September 1947 saw seventy-six nervous freshmen squirming in seats in the class rooms of Draper High School. How different high school would be! We ex- pected, of course, to have several different teachers for classes, but when we had four homeroom teachers, one after the other, we were rather overwhelmed. First came Mr. D. B. Jurison, followed by Mrs. R. C. Miller, then Mrs. V. M. Moody and finally Miss Nancy Pafford. One outstanding feature of this year was the annual picnic at Carter’s Memorial Park made memorable by Lois Long’s falling in the creek. The Choral Club, which was composed of mostly freshmen, attended the music festival at Pulaski and won second place. Lois Long, Billy Tolbert, and Donald and Ronald Meredith were pre- sent every day this year. On entering our sophomore year we were minus quite a few students. This year seventeen girls in the library under the leadership of Mrs. Kitty Watts organized by electing: Eva White, President; Stella Jarrells, Vice-President; Bennie Kelley, Secretary; Bartie Sutphin, Reporter. The sophomores in Room 3 under the leadership of Miss Polly Watts organized by electing Francis Kelley, President; Donald Harris, Vice-President; Charles Painter, Secretary; Vivian Quesenberry, Reporter. Some of the outstanding events of this year were: The Halloween party which was held in the gym. The most exciting incident of this party was the “Scavenger Hunt. ’’ Other events of interest include the annual picnic at Carter’s Memorial Park and the Doctor I. Q. Assembly program. The S. C. A. was re-organized, and Charles Painter, Bartie Sutphin, Lois Long, Anita Huff, Edith Gallimore, Francis Kelley, Ronald Meredith, and Donald Harris were homeroom representatives. Anita Huff, Edith Gallimore, and Donald Harris attended the district meeting at Hills- ville . The junior class was composed of thirty-seven pupils. This year under the leadership of Mrs. Canary Newman we organized by electing: Donald Harris, Pres- ident; Jimmy Rigney, Vice-President; Bartie Sutphin, Secretary; Norinda Harler, Treasurer; Stella Jarrells, Reporter; Bonnie Mabe and Charles Painter, Songleaders. Nine juniors were taken into the Beta Club. Anita Huff and Francis Kelley at- tended the National Beta Club Convention at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond. Also some of the juniors were in the Beta Club play entitled “Grandad Steps Out. ’’ One of the most outstanding events of this year was the junior play entitled “Ragg- edy Nan, ” which proved to be a great success. On May 6 in the lunchroom we enter- tained the seniors with a banquet. Anita Huff attended the Junior Red Cross Camp. This year we had a chance to get in typing. After three long years of tailing, we entered into our most important year. This, our senior year, our class leaders were: Jimmy Rigney, President; Vivian Rigney, Vice-President; Stella Jarrells, Secretary; Joe Covey, Treasurer; Bonnie Mabe and Charles Painter, Songlea }ers. Miss Herley Poole and Miss Irene Umberger were our sponsors. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to them for the wonder- ful work they did. On arriving at school one morning, we joyfully received the news that class rings had arrived. What excitement! On December 12, the Senior Class presented its annual play, a mystery comedy, entitled “The Scarecrow Creeps.” The Senior English Class also made an enjoyable trip to Radford to see one of Shake speare ’ s plays, “Hamlet.’’ Now we are looking forward to the remainder of this year: Class Night, Bacca- laureatte, Junior-Senior entertainment, Commencement, and finally our last reward, the diploma. It will be sad leaving dear old Draper, but fond and happy memories will linger with us. Class Colors-Green, White Flower -Sham rock Motto: “Not at the top, but climbing”
