CLASS HISTORY Listen, classmates, listen well to the words of your class historian. See our class flower unfold the events that made our class ' history and re- member our motto, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. In the bud of a long-stemmed white carnation with green curling leaves we see our freshman of- ficers: Nancy Keith, Kathryn Rowland, Alberta Clayton, and Emilie Tilley. These classmates, along with our Student Council Representative, Dorothy Adcock, helped us to become an intregal part of the school. The girls turned out in great number — all eager to make Coach Council ' s basketball squad. Mollie Ashworth, Mary Lynn Aiken, Nancy Keith, Carolyn Smith, Betty Baker, Priscilla Hol- loway, Emilie Tilley, Jean Wilson, Doris Jones, and Sonja Averette represented us well on the team. Bobby Dean made the boys ' team and wel- comed additions to the football team were Sher- rill Jones, Arthur Ray Talley, and Billy Mize. In baseball Mitchell Spivey, Arthur Ray Talley, and Sherrill Jones displayed their skills. Not only were we outstanding in sports, but also in a scholastic contest in which Sallie Carden won first place and Kathryn Rowland won second place. We were anxious to become members of our school ' s organizations. Clubs which boasted Freshman members were the F. H. A., F. T. A., F. F. A., and others. As the flower opens more and the small white petals sprout forth, we see our Sophomore Class officers, Jean Fish, Priscilla Holloway, Treva Og- burn, and Emilie Tilley capably leading us through our second year in high school We were represented in the Student Council by Mollie Ashworth and Sonja Averette. Many of our classmates took an active part in the newly formed band. Sonja Averette, Marie Sherian, and Dorothy Adcock exhibited their twirling ability as majorettes. Again, as in our freshman year Kathryn Rowland represented us well in the scholastic contest by winning second place. Katie Crabtree was winner of the first place honors. This year Frank Benton made the football team and Hubert Shearon made the base- ball team. The petals open wider revealing the swirling pattern that was our lives during our Junior year. Our class president, Kenneth Talley, had his hands full directing all of our projects. He was ably assisted by the other officers, Jerry Oliver, Shelby Davis, and Emilie Tilley. We were represented in the Student Council by Mol- lie Ashworth, Priscilla Holloway, and Nancy Keith. Our play, Cheaper by the Dozen, accented the talents of Nancy Keith, Frank Benton, Ann- ette Roundy, Ralph Crabtree, and others who helped to make it the success it was. We ' ll al- ways remember the antics in Williamsburg at 2:00 a.m.! Weren ' t the seniors surprised at the fine banquet we gave them! complete with ming trees, a dragon, Chinese coolies, and Madam But- terfly. This year over thirty of our class were initiated into the Beta Club. Boyd Collier made the football team and Waverly Fitzhugh made the baseball team. Class night and each junior helped to carry the traditional daisy chain. Marshals for this occasion were Harriet Davis, Katie Crabtree, Kathryn Rowland, Sallie Carden, Treva Ogburn, Betty Buffalo, Jimmy Sears, Ralph Crabtree, Hubert Shearon, Charles Sauls, and Frank Benton. Our flower has reached the extent of its growth and has burst into its full radiance. At long last we are Seniors — wearers of the long awaited and coveted F.S.H.S. class rings. Our officers are Sal- lie Carden, Priscilla Holloway, Shelby Davis, and Emilie Tilley. Several of our classma ' .es are mem- bers of the Student Council, they are Nancy Keith and Jimmy Sears, Mollie Ashworth, Bobby Dean, and Dorothy Adcock. Many members of our class are outstanding in organizational acti- vities. Serving in the capacity of president of va- rious clubs are Carolyn Smith, Arthur Ray Tal- ley, Jerry Oliver, Mitchell Spivey, and Ralph Crabtree. Nancy Keith is rendering much val- uable service as president of the Student Council. Linda gave generously of her time as Editor of the GREENBRIAR and as chief cheerleader. This year Hubert Shearon and Jackie Langdon made the basketball team. Jimmy Holloman, Na- than Woodlief, and Jimmy Sears were added to Coach Perry ' s football squad. Remember the homecoming game when Priscilla Holloway was crowned Queen and the senior attendants were Mary Lynn Aiken and Carolyn Smith. We are nearing the end of our high school days. It is with fondest memories and great as- pirations we are about to leave and enter into a new realm of life. Always will remain in our minds . . . the sweet memories of our activities as the Class of ' 56. —HARRIET DAVIS, Historian 28 liHJiijiliiiiiii wxmr mnum
