s HE WAGON WHEELS are rolling and just as the Forty-niners did one hundred years ago, we are now on an expedition, searching for gold. During the first lap of our journey we have quite a number of prospectors, over a hundred, which is a record-breaking number. Of course, we had to select someone to lead us on our trip and we chose as follows: President Patty McPherson Vice President ................ John Neil Ralston Recorder-Treasurer .......... Gertrude Blackhurst Representative ................... Kathleen Ryder Cheerleader .................. Anita Buterbaugh Sponsors ............. Miss Johnson - Miss Post This was a very busy year for us. Everything was new. Many of our girls joined the Future Homemakers Club and the boys the Future Farmers Club. They were preparing themselves for the time when we reached the end of our journey. Athletics appealed to many of our boys and others who couldn’t take part in the sports were active in the Rooters Club. At the end of the year we had a Home Ec Party, our class picnic, and the spring concert. We decided in the end that the year hadn’t been half as bad as we thought it would be in the beginning, and will always be a bright spot in our memories. THE SECOND YEAR finds us moie sure of ourselves because we are now considered as “old-tim- ers.” Our group is a little smaller because some have fallen along the trail. Our leaders for this year were: President ..... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer ..... Patty McPherson John Neil Ralston Gertrude Blackhurst ........ Gay Cargile Representative Cheerleader ... Miss Smith .............. Gale Shinaberry ................ Kathleen Ryder — Sponsors — ..................... Mr. Riley We were all very anxious for our first class party and when time came to have it, we decided to have a Chiistmas Party. The auditorium was certainly the scene of a happy group that night. This year a new club was organized, which was called “The Snack and Smack Club.” It was fur the purpose of serving the athletic boys after home games. Three girls were selected from our class as members. This year the music department presented an operetta called, “And It Rained,” and several of our class members took part in this. As a whole our second year was a very enjoyable cne and the end found us looking forward eager- ly to the coming year. THE NEXT LAP of the journey was indeed a full one. We selected as leaders this year: President ................................ Patty McPherson Vice President .............. John Neil Ralston Secretary ................... Anita Buterbaugh Treasurer ................. Gertrude Blackhurst Representative ............................ Jack Moore Cheerleader .................... Kathleen Ryder — Sponsors — Mrs. Coyner ...................... Mrs. Davis Many of the students enrolled in the commercial classes which they had never had an opportunity of doing before. We were also given the opportunity to join the chorus. This year finds us with some new instructors: Mr. Mosser, as our new coach and social study teach- er; Miss Parg, commercial teacher, and at the last part of the year Mr. Roy Anderson took Miss John- son's place as music teacher. This was really cur year for sports. Our football team won the Greenbrier Valley Championship and a banquet was given in their honor. We also had a King and Queen of Football, for the first time and they were crowned at our Homecoming game. At this game each class presented a float and the one our group presented took second piize. A Chiistmas Pageant was presented under the direction of Mrs. Coyner, Miss Johnson, Miss Smith, and Mrs. Davis. Many of our group took part in this. At the end of the year we presented the Seniors with a formal prom which will always remain in our memories. THERE WERE MANY, many happy activities our fourth year. The day we received our class rings was one of the happiest. It was also very exciting to write on cards for our friends and classmates. The Senior play “Here Comes Charlie,” was presented in April. Finally came the last events: Class Night, Baccalaureate Sermon, and Graduation Night. We then realized that our journey was almost at an end. We didn’t find any gold but we had found some- thing far more valuable and lasting
