£eniosi CtaU Jlidiafyu I was in I he fall of 44 that 221 of us entered the big red building that was slowly losing its white scales. 1 his was the school where we were to spend the next four years of our lives. Wasn t it kind of those upper- classmen to paint us with red lipstick to keep us from being so green? After we decided the students on the other end of the lipstick tube coidd be human, we were quite happy here. Our Freshman Class officers were. Helen Louise Cutright. president; Doris Ann Har- rison. vice-president; and Fred Shafferman, secretary and treasurer. We had six home- rooms. the teachers were: Miss Cook, Miss Xenakis. Mr. Yoho. Mrs. Yost. Mrs. Wolfe, and Mrs. Withers. Student Council representatives from our class were: James Barcus, Connie McProutv, I lelen Louise Cutright. Mildred Y ates. Robert Losh. and Richard Ward. Angel-Child . directed by Helen Harper, was chosen as our entry in the Thespian- sponsored Contest plays. Honors were be- stowed upon our class when Peggy Hamner was judged the best actress. History repeats itself—and so would some of us, we discovered, as we entered our sophomore year. We now only numbered 163 students and had only four homerooms. Miss Whites, Mrs. Roofs, Miss Coles's, and M rs. Whitescarver s. Our class offic ers were: James Bacus. president; Helen Louise Cutright, vice-president; and Peggy Ham- ner. secretary and treasurer. The Student Council representatives from our class were: Richard Ward. Connie Me Prouty. Joan Knotts. Helen Louise Cutright. and Norma Walls. Our contribution to the Thespian-spon- sored Contest plays was Sugar and Spice directed by Etta Francis and starring Norma Walls, Fred Shafferman. Doris Ann Harri- son. ( »ene Headley, and Polly Davis. Normi Walls made the entire class happy when she was chosen the best actress. Athletics were much improved by our donation to the football s' uad in the form of James Barcus. Fred Shafferman. Robert DeBarr. Jack Lanford. and James McAvoy. We started our Junior year with only 138 students. Our homerooms had also dimin- ished. We had only four, the teachers were Mrs. Haddox. Mr. Faulkner, Miss Watkins, and Mr. Haselden. Cla ss offie ers w'ere: Paul Poling, president; Fred Shafferman, vice-president; and Polly Davis, secretary and treasurer. Student Council representatives we e Norma Walls. Connie McProutv. Mary’ Jo Francis, Josephine Bryan. We. as most Junior classes of the past, had a magazine campaign. I think Herbert I hompson s red hair must have had some- thing to do with his selling so many maga- zine subscriptions and winning that lovab : toy dog. Mary Brown must have had a whooper of a salestalk to outsell Herbert and win an Eversharp pen and pencil set as a prize. During the year, the Junior Class spon- sored a Christmas party. Santa Claus took time to come from the North Pole and give us a few presents to make our successful party even more successful. Robert Leonard. Connie Seymour, and Richard Ward were members of the All- State Chorus during their Junior year. We bid good-bye to our last remaining upperclassmen at our Junior and Senior Prom to the music of Johnny Born s orches- tra. In the King s and Queen s court from our c lass were: Bobby Sue Wolfe. Doris Ann I iarrison. Polly Davis. Peggy Hamner. Helen Louise Cutright. and Nancy Kemple, princesses: and Fred Shafferman. Bob Leon- ard. Gene Headley. Harry Wilson. James Barcus. and Harold Isner. princes. Hie Junior Class Play direc ted bv Mrs. Mildred H addox. was Youth I akes Over. I he cast included: Harold Isner. Betty Dia- mond. Gene Headley. Paid Poling, Polly Davis, I ommy Seller. Paul Hamilton, and many more of our talented classmates. We marched in Grafton High School in 1947 as Seniors, with no upperclassmen to boss us now! (Just teachers). After four years with our fellow students, we knew whom we wanted for our class officers. Fred Shafferman was chosen pres- ident: Polly Davis, vice-president; and Mil- dred Yates, secretary and treahurer. For a senior class project we sold Chris’- mas Cards. When our senior pictures weic taken we tried to look pleasant as the photog- rapher said. We must have succeeded be- cause the camera was in one piece and still operating when the photographer left. From among our athletes, Harold Isner was chosen guard on the mythical All-State Big Ni ne and AII-Valley Football Teamo. James Barcus and Fred Shafferman received honorable mention.
