CLASS HISTGRV ince our sixth and seventh grade rooms were located in the high school building, we seventh graders eagerly looked forward to entering high school. This happy time arrived and we were fortunate in having as our advisors Mrs. Dobyns and Mrs. Simpkins. Our officers were as follows: Roger Gallimore, president: George Vaughan, vice-president: Christine Sweeney, secretary: and Wanda Naff, treasurer. Mr. Miller became our new principal. He and the other faculty members were very helpful in our adjustment to the new high school life. Mr. Miller has remained our princi- pal through all four of our high school years. In 1949, we became sophomores with Mrs. Rainey and Mrs. Agee as home-room teachers. Our officers were as follows: Wanda Naff, president: James Casteel, vice-presi- dent: and Christine Sweeney, secretary and reporter. Entering junior year in 1950, we began some of our most important high school activities. Our advisors for the year were, Mrs. Miller and Miss Slusher. Our new class officers were as follows: Roger Gallimore, president, Claude Royal, Vice-President:James Casteel, secretary: and Eugene Town- ley, reporter. Two of the big events for the year were the Junior Play and the Junior-Senior Banquet. The play was Me and My Sha- dow . Miss Shelor directed it. It was a success, and much of the credit should go to Miss Shelor. The long awaited senior year came in 1951. Now we have those privileges that the lower-classmen envy so much and strive for. Our officers are as follows: Jane Slusher, presi- dentp Roger Gallimore, vice-presidentg Barbara Williamson, secretary: Anna Mae Williams, 'treasurerg and Wanda maff, reporter. Our first .event of the year was the play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay . Sixteen students participated. It was as outstanding play. Mrs. Rainey directed I and Mrs. Altizer took charge of costumes and stage settings. To raise money for a long anticipated trip, we seniors have sponsored a magazine campaign. The campaign went over the top and the class eagerly anticipates a trip in the spring. We are looking forward to the event which the Sophomore Class will be giving the seniors since there is no Junior Class. It will be wonderful to enjoy it without all the work we did for the seniors last year. To Mrs. Altizer, our faithful advisor and sponsor, we wish to express our gratitude and thanks. She has given us inspiring leadership throughout the year, for which we are grateful. 'A'
