THE SENIOR CLASS HI TORY The history of our class began in 1944. We were taught by Mrs. Mannan, who was also our second grade teacher. With only a few difficulties we endured our first two years. We enjoyed various treats throughout the year, such as the Christmas gift exchange, a Valentine box, and puppet show. Our teachers for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were respectively, Mrs. Genevie Reid, Mrs. Mable Arthur, and Mrs. ViEva Thrasher, In the sixth grade, we began to learn the meaning of real studying. This year 15 students from Lewisville and Wakeland joined our group, making our class very large. We had Mr. Kenneth Watson as our teacher. Our years in junior high school were full of work and fun. In the seventh grade our sponsor was Mrs. Eugenia White and in the eighth grade was Miss Grace Veatch. 4 rx I .-fm 3 t I' ? 3' Awe ? P N-. ,ff 'I DSW' 3 sy NE in' -m'.
