OUR CLASS HISTORY In September, 194-5 there were thirty-six of us in the first grade to begin their exploration of the world of knowledge under the guiding hand of Mrs. Elizabeth Katz. After we had successfully conquered the first year of our educa- tion, we climbed through the remaining five years of grade school. During these years we were under the supervision of Mrs. Anna Montague, Mrs. Kathryn James, Mrs. Ruth Hayes, Mrs. Mabel Mowl, and Mrs. M. H. Cole. Our seventh year was different for us because we then began junior high school. At first we seemed lost as we wandered through the halls searching for our class rooms but Mrs. Edith Begland and Mr. Gerald Norman guided us into high school. Also, at this time we came to see more of our superintendent, Mr. Ross Virtue, who played an important role in teaching us to become better students. In our fresh- man year we were under the leadership of Mr. Raymond Cramlet. During our sophomore year we entertained the upper six grades with an assembly program consisting of This Is Your Life and several vaudeville acts. Mr. Richard Scott was our director, and assisting Mr. Scott as our home room teacher was Mr. Fred Linard. In May we served for the Junior-Senior Banquet. Next came our junior year which we found filled with more activities than any other. During this year we enjoyed selling candy at noon and at the basketball games. Our class play was entitled A Case of Springzime, and was under the direction of Mrs. Ella Virtue, our class advisor for this busy important year. We all had lots of fun decorating the gymnasium in a theme called Candyland for the Junior- Senior Banquet, and were later given the privilege of serving for the Alumni Banquet. When we entered our senior year we found Mr. Homer Larrick and Mr. William Padgitt waiting to lead us through our final high school year. Our class play, It's Great to be Crazy, was directed by Mr. Larrick. Other outstand- ing events of the year were the Junior-Senior Banquet, Baccalaureate, Com- mencement, the Alumni Banquet, and the most exciting being the long antici- pated trip to Washington, D. C. and New York City. While traveling down the pathway of knowledge we lost man students and gained some new ones until now there are just sixteen in our gradilating class.

He hopes to join the Air Force And lead a group up in the sky. We hope that Betty will achieve Her great desire which is to be A good and private secretary And sit upon the boss's knee.
