0 Id A BISTORT At the end of this year we were urged on by tii3 magic word “senior”. In September, 1949, forty-eight of our members returned to school. “This is it”—the year to which all other years have led! ! Just imagine—dignified seniors we are! ! ! Our Engineer this year—Hanley Ervin; Fireman—Helen Snyder; Secretary—Martha McCutciieon; Treasurer—Dale McLaughlin; Representative—George Rexroad: Cheerleader—Juanita Dahmer. Our con- ductors are Miss Parg and Mr. Black hurst. On September 23, a pall of gloom was cast over the entire school by the death of one of our best loved classmates—Kathleen Slayton. Kathleen had been ill for some time but had returned to school in Septem- ber. determined to finish with her classmates. We were thrilled the day we received our class rings and it was fun to write on cards to give to our classmates and friends. The senior play. “No Bride For The Groom”, was given by the class in April. The parties spiced the atmosphere for the seniors and underclassmen. Some of our members had roles in the Dramatics Play. Many of our students attended Senior Day at 1) ft E College in Elkins on November 11 and several attended Senior Day at Glenville in April. We welcomed several new teachers for this term. Miss Stephanie Bendix from New York, replaced Miss Ellis as music instructor. Miss Lambert, a graduate of G. H. S.. filled Miss Smiths position as libra- rian. Charles McElwee of Dunmore, a graduate of G. H. S. and Glenville College, was an additional Social Studies teacher. Mr. Ravmond Swadley, a graduate of West Virginia I niversitv. filled Mr. Smith s position as Vo-Ag instructor, while Mr. Smith is completing work for his Master’s Degree at West Virginia Iniver- sity. He will remain on the the teaching staff after Mr. Smith returns. We had a very successful football season, winning five games, losing one. and tying three. Our Homecoming Queen was Juanita Dahmer and King wa3 George Plvler. The Spring Concert, presented by the band and glee club, and the County Music Festival, were given in April. This was our basketball year! G. H. S. won over Marlinton in the finals at the Sectional Tournament held at Hillsboro to gain entrance in the Regional Tournament at Itoneeverte. There we gained victory over Ronceverte in the finals and that meant we were Charleston bound and the State B Tournament. At Charleston, we were defeated by Athens, the team that won the State “B Tournament. In the Spring, we had our Senior Sneak Day. tree-planting day. and the junior-senior party. Finally, came Class Night, Baccalaureate Sermon, and Graduation Night. Now the senior class wishes to thank all those who have made this journey of knowledge possible. The “Half-Century Limited” is rolling on. taking us to our various destinations.
