Wdezfaw s the time draws near when we, the Senior Class of 1951, must say farewell to that part of our life that centered around Follansbee High School, we are both happy and sad-happy that we have completed that goal we set so many yea1's ago, sad that we must begin a new part of our lives away from Follansbce High School. Time has passed quickly since that memorable day when we ente1'ed school for the hrst time. Continuing year after year the road that seemed long and dirhcult, we, at last, entered Follansbee High School. Charles Suranovich won the county honors in the annual Golden Horseshoe Con- test. Climaxing our years in Junior High was the selection of Claire Bowles and Dale Kuhns as the most outstanding eighth graders. Then, at last, we experienced the thrill of being a part of the Senior High. Even though we were timid underclassmen, we were excited to be allowed to participate in Senior High activities. As our sophomore year began, we were joined by 29 students from Edgewood School. Mary Lou Branch and Paul Whitey Mikanik were voted the most popular Sophomores. ln our Junior year we elected Barbara Edwards and Shirley Morris as class officers. This year proved Very exciting as we sponsored the Hallowe,en Carnival over which Mary Lou Branch and John DeAngelis reigned as queen and king, and as we presented our class play, That Brewster Boyf, Honoring the Senior Class, the Junior-Senior Prom was held in the Pine Room at Oglebay Park. Mary Lou Branch and John DeAngelis were elected the most popular Juniors. Then we achieved the goal of which we had dreamed' for eleven years! We were Seniors! We chose Robert Dragisich, along with Barbara Edwards and Shirley Morris, to guide us. Our football team completed its first undefeated and untied season in the history of Follansbee High. We were honored to have Paul Whitey Mikanik selected for the W'est Virginia All-State team. Gur Senior year was marked by the exchange of name cards and friendship pictures, the presentation of our play, 'Seventeenth Summerf' and the Junior-Senior Prom. Selected as the most popular Seniors were Mary Lou Branch and 'W hitey Mikanik. As our Baccalaureate and Commencement services draw near, we of the Senior Class wish to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed to our education. page twenty six
