CLASS HISTORY A thunder storm? No! but fifty-three strong, robust freshmen came bursting through Mrs. Kenneth Murphy's and Mr. Bill Garrison's classroom doors on Septem- ber 4, 1951. Like all other classes of Fresh- men we seemed to think that the entire high school belonged to us. but, after many trips to Mr. Kearns' office we learned it was to be shared with three other grades. Dur- ing this year we settled down quite a bit and we are proud to boast that several girls and boys played on Fair Grove's basketball team. Still striving toward new goals we en- tered Mr. john Cox's tenth grade with a much smaller group, but a strong determi- nation that we would not be stopped. But we did hit a snag when we were handed our biology books for the first time. This sub- ject, as many others, required a great deal of studying. After many class parties, wiener roasts, and Mr. Cox still declaring that we were the noisest class he had ever had, we moved up another step. Again Mrs. Kenneth Murphy was called upon, but this time alone, to guide the jun- ior Class in the right direction and to help us raise much needed funds. One of the most exciting moments of our entire junior year was on the morning of April 1, 1954. On this date we received our long-awaited class rings. Naturally there were no more lessons that day, with new rings to show. Another exciting experience for us was on April 25, 1954, when a group of scared juniors went on the stage for the first time. XX'e are very proud to boast about our play, DEAR PAPA, a wonderful success, under the direction of Mrs. Eula Ivey. April 50, 1954, was the long-awaited date, the one night to be ours, to be looked back upon as one of the most enjoyable nights we could ever hope to have, The junior-Sem ior Banquet. Although many of us had to work to make our banquet a success, we are looking forward to another year when an- other group will be honoring us. The doors of Fair Grove swung open again September 5, 1954, and twenty-six de- termined Seniors marched into Mrs. Clar- ence Fowler's twelfth grade. Although we are a small group, we have a strong de- termination to go forwardg and we will see Washington in the spring. Many of us have been discouraged but have kept coming back as if there were a magnet drawing us. I guess there is, and this magnet is our love for our school and its surroundings. In twelve years we have never been ashamed of our school and in the many years to follow, we will lift our heads and proudly say, We're from Fair Grove High School.
