To us these days have been filled with the most wonderful things that could have come our way. We entered high school in 1945 with a total of 115 students. Out of this class, Jane Wells, who has never let us down, was chosen as our leader. She was aided in this struggle by Mrs. Dickenson, Mr. Bob Anderson, and Mrs. C. Coats. There wasn’t too much to be accomplished this year except the job of adapting ourselves to the ways of high school life, and we all had hopes of becoming sophomores. Most of us passed with flying color s. The Sophomore year, which was the second step of the ladder, did not vary greatly from the preceding year. We found the subjects a little bit harder and the field of out- side activities a little larger. Jane Wells was again elected president of our class and the year soon slipped by. The fall of ‘47 found us eager to get back to school as we knew that this year would rate among the best. At the beginning of the year the masculine part of our class began to show some leadership. Ben Bates was elected Junior president. With the aid of Mrs. Gillenwater and Mrs. Barnett we began our activities. First came the Junior play, “Hill- billy Courtship,” which was acknowledged by everyone to be a great success. After this we began making big plans for the Junior and Senior Prom. After much planning and hard work, the banquet and dance were also a great success. Then we had stars in our eyes from the past and dreams in our minds for the future. Next came the year which will remain as a vivid picture through out the rest of our lives. We found ourselves PROUD and DIGNIFIED Seniors and ready to cope with any- thing that the year might bring. Our group had dwindled down from 115 to 67 but this helped to make the rest of us more determined to continue. We handed Mary Lou Hoge the job of presiding over the class and looking out for our interests. We immediately ordered our class rings and calling cards. Then we had the Hallowe’en Carnival where King Bill Bourne and Queen Billie Ann Hicks were crowned. After this excitement died down we began to work on our year book. Now as the book is being prepared for the press we are looking forward to the Senior play, the Junior and Senior Dance, and a trip to Washington, D. C. After these will come the day of graduation when we must say good-by to our school friends and venture out into the world to make new ones. Before we depart we would like to tell our sponsors, Mrs. Wetzel and Mrs. Damron, that we wish to express our sincere appreciation for their guidance throughout this year. To our principal, Mr. Gillespie, we say “Thank you” for cooperating with us in every way possible this year. So end our four years of high school and once again the curtains are drawn on a chapter of our lives. We only hope that the next, and the next, and the next, will be as happy and enjoyable.
