4-B ENGLISH CREST ea Senior Class History ee At the peak of our high school career, we, the seniors of 1950, look back upon the road we have traveled in our effort to reach the final goal. To govern us in our last year we elected Harold Hubbard, President; Bob Bailey, Vice-Presi- dent; Laura Sprinkle, Secretary; and Fred Thomas, Treasurer. With the help of Miss Eloise Brown, Adviser, the Senior Officers and the Senior Council planned our activities for the year. Senior Day, the annual event so eagerly anticipated by all seniors, was the big event of the year. In the special assembly, Bob Bailey and Eleanor Johnson were crowned King and Queen, respec- tively, to reign over the celebration. They headed the parade composed of all seniors through town that afternoon. A football game climaxed the day's program. An Irish Jig, held on Saint Patrick’s Day was given by the Senior Class as its annual dance. Highlighted by a floor show given by two dancing partners, the dance was a big success. The ef- forts of the committee in charge were well rewarded. “Dear Ruth’ was the annual theatrical production staged by the Senior Class. In addition to the all senior cast, all committees who helped in the production were composed entirely of seniors. Instituted as a new feature at Glass this year was a formal Ring Dance, given by the Junior Class, at which the seniors presented 1951 class rings to the juniors. Some outstanding seniors in the class of 1950 have brought honor to themselves and their school in the last year. Betty Ellington holds the highest scholastic record among the seniors at E. C. Glass High School. Betty Oakes, representing the Lynchburg Distributive Education Club, took first honors in the District and State Better Speaking Contest. Betty Crews was named the outstanding senior elected to the National Honor Society. Two talented seniors were important members of the cast of “The Flattering Word,’ a David Garrick production that won first rating in the District and distinguished rating in the State Play Festival. We shall never forget Bob Rush as the perfect wearer of the frock and Jessie Burks as the young teen-ager with the supposed- ly dramatic talent. Virginia Firkin brought a particularly distinguished honor to herself and her school by being elected to the highest office, that of the Governorship, of Girls’ State at its annual statewide convention, held this year at V. P. I. Athletics comprised a major part of this year’s activities. A number of seniors played prominent parts in every sport—football, basketball, track and tennis. Harold Hubbard, president of our class, was captain of our football team and Gene Hines was co-captain of the track team. Vernon Hower- ton, one of our best besketball players, won the WWOD cup for making the highest percentage of foul shots. Cheerleading has always held a big spot in the limelight at Glass High. The Senior Class was well represented by Virginia Firkin, head cheerleader; Betty Crews, Eleanor Johnson, and Joyce Tolley, head cheerleader for the Junior Varsity. The highest honor a senior can receive is that of being chosen for membership into the Na- tional Honor Society. Sixteen seniors were selected on the basis of character, scholarship, leader- ship and service for this honor. Though our paths will divide as we go out, cach to carry out his purpose in life, we shall always recall with pride and pleasure fond memories of days spent with our classmates at E. C. Glass. i eee o + ee eee
