History repeats itself. Each class that enters e school must leave it. In August, just four years ago, thirty-six scared but hopeful Freshmen became students of G. H. S. Yes! we were Fresh en and as green as Freshmen usually are. Even o r eagerness to be high school students co ld not hide our extreme humiliation when we did something to bring forth smiles from the upper-classmen. This did not last forever. Before many we could stroll along with an air as noncholant as that of a Senior. Our first year was new an exciting for all of usm but the new soon wore Our members did not participate in many school activities. Maurice Belew represented the Freshmen class by speaking for the Jeff Soc on Trophy night. The Freshman Home-Ec. girls served four banquets during the year. The next year 16 of our members dropped out and four new members joined us, so we started of the Sophomore year with 24 members. We felt jus a little more important this year, as there was t least onelclass to which we felt superior. she boys of the Sophomore class selected Mary largaret Jeter to represent their class at Hal- 1cwe'en Carnival in the Gym. Maurice Belew spok again on Trophy night. Our Junior year was a little more eventful as well as successful. We felt as if we were getting somewhere.

April l, the Junior Class entertained the Senior class with a banquet at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. ,Trophy night, Eugene Priestley debated for the Jeff Society.

Senior! My that sounded good to us. Our senior year was started with the smallest class that's been in G. H. S. in a long time. le have only ll me bers left. Tho Seniors, Gharles and Odin Day made the main football teel and Maurice Belew las elected captain of the basket- ball team. Martha Belle Hatcher was elected ball queen and Mary M. Jeter was he maid of honor. They were also cheer leaders for '57 and '5B. The senior class is sponsoring a year book, the first one to be published in Greenfield High Schools Our History is not.without romance. The reed to romance las not left untraveled, Ruby Lee Williams, Mildred Flowers, and Harold Drewry chose that in preference to High School, while. Welton Betsy was willing to try both. We have had our honors, our sorrows, and romances as all classes do and when we call to mind the days that have passed, our Joys are so great that our hardships are forgotten. is we are approaching the parting of ways' it is with a feeling of sadness that we leave our beloved school.and seek fame in the world. we have done our best and we hope we have fought e good fight. we cannot leave unmentioned our teachers, those patient guides uho have led and influenced us in.ehat we think was the right path It is our sincere hope that we have been worthy models for the lower classes. May they profit by our mistakes and more deservedly be called graduates of Greenfield High School. Class Histo ian Mary Margaret Jete .
