COLORS: Green and White Class History FLOWER: White Camellia In September 1951 we mounted the first rung up the ladder of success when we became Freshmen in Fort Meade High School. For our Freshman president we elected James Williams. Because of their previous experience with those confused, mixed up kids, as Freshmen are sometimes called, we were lucky to have Mrs. Orr and Mr. McCullars to give us the guidance we needed so badly. It did not take long to get acquainted with everyone and everything. We tried our luck at basketball, football, band, cheerleading, baseball and track. We entered into the many activities of the school. By now we had learned the ropes and were looking forward to the possibilities of the years that lay ahead. Since James Williams had served us well as president for our Freshman year, we re-elected him for our Sophomore year. Our sponsors were Miss Lett and Mr. Curtis. The big event was the magazine sale. We had sore feet and aching muscles, but in the long run, it paid off. We were quite proud of the fact that a mem- ber of our class was honored with a basketball award this year. We started our Junior year with George Green as president. Mrs. Carlton and Doc Harrison were given the privilege of being sponsors of the Jolly Juniors --a little too jolly at times. At last, the long-awaited hour arrived and we journeyed to the auditori- um to meet the representative from Herff-Jones, and after what seemed a couple of years, really just a month or two, we were sporting class rings. At the basketball games we took over the concessions and did unusually well. On December 10, we presented our class play, The Inner Willy, with Charles McCue playing the title role. The auditorium was filled to capacity and the play was a huge success. With the dividends from our various activities we were financially able to ask the seniors to be our guests on a trip to the Deep South. ” (banquet theme). With large columns erected on the stage and the setting of a southern plantation the gym didn't seem the same as it had the day before. September 1954, shouts of Whoopee! We're seniors! correction, DIGNIFIED SENIORS could be heard. Some people raised eyebrows at the word dignified--but did they ex- pect us to be seniors and dignified at the same time? Outrageous! Charles McCue was elected president for our Senior year, and he has certainly served us well. And having recuperated during the summer, Mrs. Carlton and Mr. Harrison again took over as Senior Sponsors. Our first undertaking was sponsoring football dances. Again we were honored with three senior boys being recognized with football awards. In March we presented our Senior Play, Lady Be Good, and later in May we were the guests of the Juniors at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Soon will be the big night and we'11 be out in the world to solve our own problems and make our own decisions. So you see, we’re NOT AT THE TOP, BUT ALWAYS CLIMBING. Roberta Sturgis, Historian
