SENIOR CLASS HISTORY At The Crossroads--Richard Hovey You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever-- And it well may be for a day and a night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part fFor our ways are past our knowingl, A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here's luck! For we know not where we are going. Four years have passed since first the panorama of our high school de- lighted out wondering eyes. They have been happy years as a whole. They have helped us to understand the finer values of life. They have brought friendships which we will never forget. As we remember the carefree and happy hours we have spent, we almost wish we might relive the years. Only for the moment though, because we are now eagerly awaiting the new adventures that lie ahead. In reviewing four years of our high school life, we find that there are many events which will always be remembered. Elections, debates, picnics, and most of all our Junior and Senior plays are indelible in our memory. Under the leadership and guidance of Andrew Nester, class president,.and Miss Maude Boyd, sponsor, the Freshman class of 1946 was organized. Ehring the Sophomore year, Freeda Hatcliff was president and Miss Boyd and Mrs. Miller were advisers. The Junior year had Mrs. Rainey as adviser and Rufus Heed was president. The Senior year had Helen Tblbert as class president, and Mrs. Altizer was sponsor. When we have graduated, there will be no regrets, for each of us will carry in his heart the spirit of Floyd High on the way we all are going.
