QYQSVU gfigfovg The long-awaited and yet much dreaded day in September of 1945 came at last and once more the halls of Gilbert High School were resoun ing with the noisy chatter of students who were back in school after three months vacation. Unnoticed by the rest of the school was a group of shy boys and girls, the seventh grade of '45- '44. There seemed to be consternation on the face of everyone who belonged to this group. While wondering what to do, they were soon hustled into a big room which they learned was called the auditorium. The class was composed of boys and girls. Yet wondering what to do, they were divided into two divisions and each division was given a spon- sor. One sponsor was MRS. THELMA HATFIEID and the other sponsor was MH. JAMES HARLESS who was later replaced by MRS. ETHEL TRENT. Highlight of this school year was the Hallowe'een Carnival. JAMES PEAK and JUNE MANNIN3 were elected king and queen of the carnival. During this year, these boys and girls acted like a bunch of scared jack-rabbits. When asked a question in class, each was afraid to answer even though he thought he knew. But somehow, as seventh graders always do, they finally struggled through the first year. School bells, when they rang the following fall, found that many of these fledglings had become discouraged and had fallen by the wayside. With solemn face, the boys and girls talked in low tones about one of the outstanding members of the class, JAMES PEAK who had been fatally injured when he fell while swinging on a grapevine. New members of the class this year were BENNY GRAVELY and WETZEL CLINE. Class sponsors this year were MRS. THELMA HATFIEID and MBS. MAMIE BROWNING. The year proved very profitable and the eighth grade was so much wiser, or so they thought. The next year brought additions from Glen Alu three of which remain today: JOHN TOTH, CLARENCE NBUDDYW COLLINS, and AUBERT BLACKBURN. That year, these future-geniuses were becoming very wise indeed and much more familiar with the rest of the school. Before realizing it, they found group was starting in the tenth grade those who were missing from the class VIRGINIA VINCENT, and CHARLES CROWDER history of the school, the Sophomore another year gone and the in the fall of '46, Among this year were JUNE MANNING, . For the first time in the Class had to be divided. By this time, these boys and girls who had been timid seventh graders at one time were quite worldy-wise and prided themselves upon the following characteristics: ability to talk, good looks, magnificent personality, and the ability to drive teachers crazy. Three mem- bers of'the class: BOB CLINE, SIM N PERRY, and LENNIE CLINE were taken into the National Honor Society. ANN CLINE was elected to a three year term as cheer-leader. When these boys and girls returned as Juniors in '47, several 26
