We were as full of curiosity as the legendary cat, as confident as Napoleon, and as willing and able to learn, as our achievements have proven, None of us knew what room to enter, but to heck with that!

Our first year at GHS was one to remember, First, there were our sponsors, who kindly guided and directed us with patience, Then we became familiar with the school itself, its rules and regulations, its rooms, and its teachers, Last, but not least, we became acquainted with each other. Although this was perhaps our most difficult year, it was our most profitable one because we had made a beginning on the first rung on the ladder of knowledge, and - came through with flying colors. - After a pleasant summer vacation, we were once again excitedly awaiting the I beginning of the new school year, because we were now in the eighth grade. Mrs. Margaret Hatfield was still the sponsor of B section, while a new teacher, Mrs. Thelma Hatfield, sponsored section A.
