We hope through life we do not fail, But instead we find success. So to you “Glenwood” we do hail The past days of happiness. Our teachers to us much have meant Hoping some knowledge we’ve learned, Such hard trying days they have spent, So our future can more easily be earned. So as the parting draweth near, We close the pages of our books, And remembering “school davs dear,” W e face the future with less fear.

On a September day in 1939 school year began with a happy, good looking and frightened group of hoys and girls entering the first grade at Glenwood School. The first grade was under the direction of Miss Wagner. By the time the next year came around several had moved away and some had moved in. That year we were under the direction of Miss Landis. Mrs. Hemphill was our teacher in the third grade. That year we made a lot of progress toward reaching the twelfth grade. In the fourth grade we tried to learn a little about Geography. Mrs. Steppe was our director. Now we realized just how little we knew when we reached the fifth grade. That year we made a success with the help of Miss Beam. M rs. Lois Shaw was our sixth grade teacher. In the seventh grade Mrs. Dessie Lawing guided us in the deep waters of mathematics, history, geography and English. In the eighth grade the students from Sugar Hill who joined us were: Betty Morgan, Agnes Wil- kerson, Bill James, Robert Parker, Ruby Marlowe, Edith Jones,Betty Wilkerson, Helen Ledbetter, Annie Fay Ledbetter, Earl Queen. Rupert Hall, Earl McKinney, Eunice Reel, Jimmy Styles, Laurence Parker, Paul Jolley, Ray Wilson, and Doris Hemphill. The students from Dysartville were Billy Guf¬ fey. Ivan Landis, Geneva Lewis, and Maxine Huskins. Doris Rumfelt, Erie Chapman and Louise Fisher joined us from other schools. The students who dropped out this year were: Ben Pyatt, Nina Fay Day, Ray Day, Ray Wilson, Earl Queen. This year we had several teachers but Mrs. Laura Gentry was our final teacher. We entered high school while Mr. W. V. Nix was principal. Our sponsor was Mrs. Truby Painter. Our Student Council member was Reba Bowman. We entered the tenth grade under the supervision of Miss Wilma Byrd. This year we set out for a good year of work with a new principal, Mr. W. P. Whitesides. Our officers were: President, Robert Parker; Vice President, Doris Rumfelt; Secretary and Treasurer, Betty Morgan; Student Council Mem¬ bers, Reba Bowman and Dean Elliott. Bv this time our enrollment had dropped to 24. We had two to join us from Marion Hi—Clarence Lamb and Charles Walker. We were very glad to have them. Mrs. Bradsher was our Junior sponsor. We had two class projects to complete this year—the Junior Play, “Pleased To Meetcha,” given in the school auditorium on November 22, 1949, and the Junior-Senior Banquet which followed the “Dutch Motif” at the Glenwood Cafeteria, April 27, 1950. Another event of the Junior year was ordering our rings. The class officers were: President, Bennie Parker; Vice President, Louise Killian; Secretary and Treasurer, Ruhv Gilliam; Student Council Members, Reba Bowman, Dean Elliott and Millie Lawing. The Class of 1950 began its final year under the guidance of Miss Wilma Byrd. The election of class officers and the Annual Staff were among the important business of the year. During the years the class enrollment rose as high as 50 in the eighth grade and dropped to 24 in the twelfth. Of the original class which began school in the fall of 1939 at Glenwood, Millie Lawing, Mar¬ vin Jamison, Dean Elliott, Frances Laughridge, Bobby Eplee, Carl Rash, Bennie Parker, Neal Morgan, are all that remain. As you read this history, you will remember that the twenty-four seniors were planning a second semester full of work and pleasure. Along with the Senior Play, the Junior-Senior Banquet and gradu¬ ation, the thought of Homecoming, the first in the history of the school. The Nuslika went to press too early to record any of these events but not too earlly to read the anticipation of the pleasure and sense of accomplishment that accompanies them.
