TWE QUARRIED HISTORY in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, pilgrims in search of knowledge, landed on the shores of a coun- try new and vastly different to them. The country in which they settled was known as Granite Quarry High School. These Pilgrims banded together to form a new settlement, The members of this new settlement were known as Freshmen by the more experienced settlers. Every group, whether its members be seeking freedom, pre- cious metals or wisdom must hsve leaders. Mr. E. C. Staton was the chief leader of this tribe and Miss Sara Wellman and Miss Mary Fletcher were his assistants, This new land in which we had settled was run on democratic principles so for this settlement, Frances Trexler was elected president, Quickly a year passed, and the band of Freshmen had advanc- ed far enough in their search for knowledge that they were ready to occupy the territory first vacated by the Sophomores. it this new territory they were known by the name of their prede- cessors, the Sophomores , Again, Mr. E. C. Staton was the chief leader. His assis- tants were Mr. Noah Hamerick and Mr. Theodore Leonard. John David Holshouser served as president, Frances Trexler as vice- president, and Sidney Ray Bernhardt as secretary and treasurer. The Freshmen year had been rough end many had fallen by the way; but thirty-three boys and forty-three girls held stead- fastly to their goals. Another year sped by, and the seekers after wisdom had reached Junior territory. The Sophomore year had been difficult and the tribe had dwindled in size to number only twenty-two boys and thirty-eight girls, During the third year, Mr. E. C, Staton was again Chief leader and Miss Edith Chambers and Mr. Holland Brinkley were his essistants, Norma Jean Melchor served as president, John David Holshouser ss vice-president and Frances Trexler as secretary and treasure, Since the pilgrims had become more accustomed to the land, the way was becoming easier, so there was more time for recre- ation.
