We were a confused group of 45 kids that thronged the first grade class room that September morning in 1938, for never before had we encountered such a tremendous crowd of children. Of the number that came to school that year, we have Wilma Galloway, Ruth Garren, Ella Jean Fletcher, Joyce Pruitt, Barbara Patterson, Jeanne Revis, Doris Blythe, Betty Lou Pettit, Edward Nicholson, Laurie McKinnia, Derwood Marona, Connie Allison, Paul Banks, Harold Arrington, and Doyle Hollingsworth here for our senior year. The members of our class have come andgone, but the members that have joined our class since the first grade and are still with us are: Bessie Scott from Little River School and Patsy Gilbert from Fairview School in the fourth grade, Wilma and Delma Sams from Mills River in the fifth grade, Clara Crowder from Mills River in the sixth grade, Betty Ann Bell from Mills River in the seventh grade, and Melzinna McCarson from Flat Rock School in the tenth grade. Some of the members of our class went to other schools for a while, but we are glad to have them back for our graduation. In the year of 1947 we entered our Freshman year in high school. Mr. Peek and Miss Jordan joined the faculty, and we had an enrollment of 36 in our class. Entering high school meant more than just another grade in school. It meant working out schedules, deciding on subjects, and learn- ing to get to class ontime. Some of us began singing in the Glee Club and we considered this quite a privilege. We discovered many new experiences and, on the whole, hada wonderful year. Somehow most of us received our units for our Freshman year, and we were glad when June and our summer vacation came around. After three months of vacation we found ourselves in our Sophomore year with 28 members of our class still with us. A number of us joined clubs, and we had several boys and girls fortunate enough to make the basketball teams. Mr. Peek left us and Mr. Carter joined our faculty. We had to work harder to get our required units that year, but at the end of nine months of studying most of us succeeded in doing so. The year ended almost too soon but summer va- cation arrived, and we departed, with the feeling of knowing little and having plenty yet to learn. Then, as Juniors, we looked upon the problem of life in an entirely different way for we knew what was expected of us, individually and collectively. Mr. Carter left and Mr. Peek rejoined our faculty. Some of us joined the Beta Club and we became engaged in more of the school acti- vities. We enjoyed sponsoring a banquet for the seniors and did our best to show them a good time. Last fall we found ourselves entering the last year of our school life. 22 of our class re- mained for our graduation year. The fall festival always attracts attention and the one the P. T. A. sponsored in the fall was no exception. We think we were doubly lucky for we won the popularity contest inthe high school, succeeded in getting Paul Banks and Ella Jean Fletcher crowned king and queen of popularity, and won a half-holiday for raising the most money for our sponsors during the contest at school. Money, money, money! It might be the root of all evil but it was necessary if we were to publish an annual. We decided tosell ads, so again we are publishingour annual, ‘‘The Chief’’. Now we are looking forward to the Junior-Senior Banquet, the class play, and the trip to Washington, D. C., but most of all we are looking forward to graduation night. Since we have come to the end of our goal we are saddened by its ending, but are looking forward to the future when each of us will choose our own field of work. As we say good-bye, we wish to express our deepest thanks and appreciation to our parents and teachers, who have been so generous in helping us reach our goal. After graduation, the members of the class of 1950 may drift apart, yet all will look back with pleasure on the days spent at dear old ETOWAH HIGH.

Testator-Delma Sams Witnesses-Mrs. Medford and Melzinnia McCarson 16 CLASS PROPHECY One day two of our more curious seniors wished to find out what will happen to our classmates in the future, so they started on a journey to find that ageless character Father Time. Now Father Time is a roving person and never stays in one place for very long; but, as luck would have it, we were more fortunate than others who have looked for him. You see, my friends, as we were hunting for him, we stumbled over something and fell. When we looked to see what it was, we gazed at the beard of Father Time and then into his timeless face. ‘What luck to have stumbled over you like this, Father Time,’’ we said. “We were trying to find you because we want to know what will happen to the seniors who are our classmates at Etowah High. Please Say you will tell us.’’ “Well young ones,’’ he said, “‘since you have looked for me so industriously, I’ll turn up the clock and let you see for yourself.’’ Old Father Time reached out and turned up the time clock five, ten, fifteen years. “Now my children you will find things quite changed, for now we will go to China, where we will see Jean Fletcher. She is a missionary to China.” “‘We will now go to Hollywood where we’ll see that pretty model Delma Sams and, by the way, she is still Sams. In Hollywood too, we’ll find Betty Lou Pettit who is a very suc- cessful hair stylist. Everyone is crazy about her work.’ “‘There have been a lot of books written lately by the famous author, Derwood Marona, whose latest book is entitled, How to make a good Spitwad.’’ “‘Over here you see one of the new modern hospitals. We will take a look into the rooms. Let’s try the operating room. Here we will find Dr. Bessie Scott in the middle of an exciting operation. Melzinnia McCarson is her nurse.”’ ‘‘There is another one of your famous classmates I want you to see, but we must go to Northern France. There we will find Joyce Pruitt, the owner of a modern Cafe.”’ “On our way back if we were to board a plane, guess who would be the air stewardness? Yes, that’s right, Barbara Patterson. There is another famous air stewardess in the west- ern part of the U. S. She is Betty Ann Bell.’’ “Do you see that large building over there? Well, that is the new A P Store. Harold Arrington is co-owner.’’ ‘‘Now, my girls, we are in Kansas. By the way, Paul Banks has just bought one of the largest oil wells here. Do you think he will be another John L. Lewis?’ “‘As for Laurie McKinna, he is an agriculture teacher and has a pretty blonde for his wife. And speaking of married life, there’s someone else I want you to see. Both of you come here; you see that beautiful white house down there? It belongs to none other than Edward Nicholson, Yes, Elizabeth has prepared every meal for him since they have been married.’’ “Wilma Sams is secretary to the President now. I think she is doing very well, don’t you? Another of your classmates is in Washington too. Connie Allison is head of Juvenile Delinquency. Would you ever have believed it? ”’ “My friends, you remember Jeanne Revis? She is now living in the most beautiful house in N. C. She is the best interior decorator in that state.’ “Clara Crowder makes her money by car-racing and, from the way she dresses, she must be getting rich. Speaking of making money, Patsy Gilbert is doing very well also. She is a photographer.’’ “We will fly to New York now where we will see three more of your classmates. Doyle Hollingsworth is a skating instructor, that is when he can get away from his wife and chil- dren. And do you see that dress shop to your right? Ruth Garren is a designer there. In fact, there are two designers, for Wilma Galloway is there designing hats.’’ “Last of all we will fly to Canada. You must put on your coats to keep warm. It seems that Doris Blythe doesn’t mind the weather, for she has been there every since she finished college, teaching history in Ottowa, Canada.” ‘“fAll in all, the class of ’50 looks very promising and I hope it stays that way, don’t you?’?
